In the new National Day film "My Father and Me", Zhang Yimou starred in the movie again after 24 years, personally going down to the "supervisor" Xu Zheng to shoot advertisements.
Zhang Yimou's achievements as a director are well known to the world, in fact, few people know that he is also an excellent actor.
What's even more surprising is that Ang Lee ever wanted Zhang Yimou to act in "Color Ring"?
What do you think if Mr. Yi in "Color Ring" is played by Zhang Yimou?
Just brain supplement, Time Jun almost laughed out loud, but carefully tasting, it seems that Zhang Yimou and Liang Chaowei are still somewhat similar?
Without further ado, the image above:
In fact, Zhang Yimou is an acting school figure who has taken the film emperor for eight hundred years.
He won the Best Actor award at the Tokyo Film Festival with his actor debut "Lao Jing", won two Best Actor Awards at the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers, and he was even China's first A-level international film festival film emperor.
"The Old Well"
After that, Zhang Yimou and Gong Li co-starred in "Ancient and Modern Wars qin figurines" and guest starred in "Have Something to Say" to leave a deep impression on the audience.
As for the past of "Color Ring", it is a long story.
Today, time jun will dig up the behind-the-scenes story of this classic dust.
Park Ruomu, the art director of the movie "Color Ring", once broke the news on Weibo:
"At first, Ang Lee proposed that Zhang Yimou play the role of Mr. Yi I thought was fascinating, so that when I later changed to Liang Chaowei, I couldn't get rid of Mr. Yi, whose heart had already taken shape. Therefore, in the styling, I took Zhang Yimou's photo to the makeup artist to refer to Liang Chaowei's modeling, Liang Sheng's face of the wrinkles and eye bags old age spots are painted, the audience is sad that Liang Sheng is old in "Color Ring", in fact, it is just a makeup technique, Liang Sheng himself is still colorful. ”
Of course, Jiang Zhiqiang, the owner of Anle Film, also admitted it in an interview.
He recalled the scene: "I first asked Ang Lee, what is Mr. Yi in your mind? He immediately said that the Mr. Yi in his mind was Zhang Yimou. ”
The breaking news art director went on to add:
"Turning Liang Chaowei into Zhang Yimou was what I said privately with the makeup artist, and Liang Chaowei didn't know it. When watching the makeup artist can't bear it (perhaps not, makeup artists are afraid of offending the stars, after all, it is easier to get appreciation for making the actor handsome), hesitate to smear him with trembling, Liang Sheng in turn comforts the makeup artist and advises him to do it boldly, and his actor quality and professionalism are admirable. ”
Of course, director Ang Lee finally gave up the brain hole of the flying, selected an actor who seemed more suitable to the audience, and the effect did live up to expectations, for Liang Chaowei's performance in "Color Ring", Ang Lee once commented:
"There's nothing to say about him, he's just the best actor, he's played a new image than before, and he's Chinese." However, using anyone needs to be honed, and there is no star I can use. ”
Do you think that Liang Chaowei can act in "Color Ring" by making up Zhang Yimou? Liang Chaowei was also used by director Ang Lee to grind it!
Liang Chaowei also admitted before that this stage of tempering was quite painful, and Li An laughed and said that the two were Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai, "One is willing to beat one and the other is willing to be beaten, and the more he is tortured, the happier he is." ”
Mr. Yi, played by Liang Chaowei, should have a emaciated figure, Andre Lee explained: "Modern people are too rich, we require every actor to be thinner, which can reflect the style and bones of that era." ”
To this end, Liang Chaowei lost eight kilograms.
Not only that, in order to keep close to the character's living habits, Liang Chaowei also spent two months training in Mandarin and learning to play Shanghai mahjong.
Let's talk about the most important character in "Color Ring" - Wang Jiazhi.
When Ang Lee was selecting a female lead in Taiwan, she said:
"My best actress is intelligent, classical and elegant, with a devil figure and a water snake waist, but also with acting skills, and must be colored and artistic." I read this story a few years ago and never forgot it. It is the best Zhang Ailing work in my mind, and the character plot is like a mystery. ”
Take a look at Wang Jiazhi in the eyes of the art director:
It was also restored to the movie as desired
It can be said that Wang Jiazhi is the soul of "Color Ring".
Ang Lee said:
"'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' In addition to Zhang Ziyi, there are also Zhou Runfa and Yang Ziqiong; "Color Ring" depends on the heroine carrying the play alone, from 19 years old to 23 years old, at first a pure girl, after a few years of experience, it has become gorgeous and mature, wearing a cheongsam must have a look, especially attractive, the appearance, acting skills, and temperament of the starring person are indispensable."
And such an important role, who to choose to play well?
Lin Jiaxin, who took the Golden Horse Film in 2015, revealed that she had auditioned for the role of Wang Jiazhi and was brushed.
In fact, in addition to Lin Jiaxin, when Ang Lee chose the heroine for "Color Ring", almost all the actresses in the Circle of Chinese films went to audition, and even the big S Xu Xiyuan had to try her luck.
In the end, Wang Jiazhi's candidate fell on Tang Wei, who was not yet famous at that time.
With this controversial role, Tang Wei won the Golden Horse Best Newcomer Award that year, and since then, the star path has gone up and down like acting, and although there are not many works, it is also impressive.
In fact, choosing Tang Wei to play the role of Wang Jiazhi is still a bit risky. For Tang Wei to play the heroine of the film, the outside world generally showed a surprised attitude.
For the "newcomer" selected by Ang Lee, the producer Focus Pictures expressed satisfaction, and the company's chief executive James Shams said:
"Tang Weineng and Liang Chaowei's cooperation in "Color Ring" will be her first step on the world film stage. She is both young and has a good talent for acting, and they are definitely the most ideal male and female protagonists for this story. ”
When she was chosen as the lead actress, Ang Lee said:
"When I saw this person, I would feel that this story would happen to her, there was a person named Wang Jiazhi, she looked like that, this is my first instinct." Today's young people have changed, so it is not easy to find a face shape that looks like the novel wrote, and the temperament is relatively close. ”
For The role of Tang Wei, Ang Lee's definition is: relatively soft, with the same strength as female water, which can produce a lot of appeal.
Tang Wei's quality of acting and his love for drama are exactly what Ang Lee likes.
"The first time I saw her, I thought she smelled a lot like me."
"When it was finally decided that Tang Wei would play Wang Jiazhi, Ang Lee asked how I felt? I said, 'Isn't it just me giving her a body and you giving her a soul?' ’。 After finding a match between the hearts and minds from tens of thousands of images, I collaged Wang Jiazhi's life like this. ”
As a result, This Soft Rouge Wang Jiazhi finally entered the hearts of every audience who has watched "Color Ring".
