If you love him, send him to New York because it's heaven; if you hate him, send him to New York, because it's hell.
Beijingers in New York
["Migratory Birds" plays mother and daughter again, Wang Ji and Gao Liwen, absolutely the closest star mother and daughter in the entertainment industry]
In recent decades, China's economy has become better and better, with more and more rich people and more and more rich second generations. In the entertainment industry, there are more and more stars in the second generation.
In 2015, there was a spy suspense film "Spy Lotus", which was claimed to be directed by Zhu Qingyang, China's first post-90s returnee director, but Douban only scored 3.0 points. The post-90s returnee director Zhu Qingyang is the son of the famous sketch actor Zhu Shimao.
For his son's film directorial debut, Zhu Shimao personally served as an executive producer, and also pulled in his old partner Chen Peisi to star with himself. What is even more amazing is that the starring team of "Spy Lotus" is all the second generation of stars, including Wang Ji's daughter Gao Liwen, Pan Changjiang's daughter Pan Yang, Chen Baoguo and Zhao Kui'e's son Chen Yuemu, Song Dandan and Yingda's son Batu, Li Chengru's son Li Dahai, Hou Tianlai's nephew Hou Di and so on.
Recently, a drama film about the relationship between mother and daughter, "Migratory Birds", was officially announced to be scheduled for April 30, entering the most congested May 1st file in history. This warm family film, known as the road version of "Li Huanying", has less than 3,000 people who want to see it on the online ticketing platform, and has locked a cannon fodder seat.
The selling point of "Migratory Birds" is the two heroines Wang Ji and Gao Liwen, because they are really mother and daughter, and they are once again playing mother and daughter in the movie.
Because more and more stars have entered the film and television circle, it is no longer news that veteran star actors and actresses have entered the group with their children, for example, Chen Baoguo has successively taken his son Chen Yuewei to shoot "Shan He Yueming", "Old Chinese Medicine", "Old Tavern", etc.; Yan Ni took her daughter Zou Yuanqing and filmed "I Am Your Mother", "Mountains and Seas", etc.; Zhang Guangbei took his daughter Zhang Sile and filmed "Special Action", "The Age of Awakening" and so on.
In Chen Peisi, Zhu Shimao, Pan Changjiang, Gong Hanlin and other sketch superstars, they have all taken their sons to variety shows and co-starred in sketches. It can be said that these star generations who brought their children into the film and television circle have broken their hearts for their respective second generation of stars.
When it comes to the closest star mother and daughter in the entertainment industry, it must be Wang Ji and Gao Liwen; because Wang Ji has not only personally taken her daughter Gao Liwen to film, variety shows, interviews, and walk the red carpet of film festivals, but also played mother and daughter in film and television dramas many times, constantly deepening their feelings for each other.
[Wang Ji] born in Beijing on July 20, 1962, with her ancestral home in Xi'an, Shaanxi, entered the People's Liberation Army Cultural and Labor Troupe in 1976, and was later admitted to the Beijing People's Art Theater, Song Dandan, Liang Guanhua and other students.
After graduation, he made a guest appearance at Beijing Television for several years, and in the late 1980s, he went to the United States for further study and was admitted to the University of California, Los Angeles.
In 1993, Wang Ji, who was in the United States, starred in "Beijingers in New York" directed by Feng Xiaogang and Zheng Xiaolong, cooperated with Jiang Wen and others, and won the Golden Eagle Award for Best Actress, which became popular all over the country.
Later, with "Thunderstorm" and "The First Floor of the World", he became the queen of the Golden Eagle Award three times; the feature film "Red Pink" starring Wang Ji won the Silver Bear Award at the Berlin International Film Festival.
For many years since her debut, Wang Ji has also cooperated with Zhang Fengyi in "Treasure Hunting Outside the Country" and "Kyoto Ball Man", "Heroes of Grass Recklessness" with Zhang Guoguo, "The Republic Will Not Forget" with Tang Guoqiang, "Evidence of Guilt" with Chen Baoguo and You Yong, and so on.
In Wang Ji's circle of friends, there are many veteran superstars in the film and television industry, especially those who are also second-generation parents of stars, and most of them are still first-line celebrities with great status.
Her daughter Gao Liwen was born in 1991 when Wang Ji was just in the United States, and later when filming "Beijingers in New York", she was pregnant with her son, and she was overly nervous and tired, resulting in her son's congenital intellectual disability. In order to treat her son's illness, Wang Ji has been desperately filming to make money since then, and has also achieved dazzling achievements.
In 2011, Wang Ji's daughter Gao Liwen, who is studying at New York University, participated in the Miss Chinese New York Competition and won the Most Photogenic Miss Award. After that, Wang Ji took her 20-year-old daughter to the entertainment circle together.
As the most photogenic lady in the beauty pageant, Gao Liwen did inherit her mother's beauty and tall figure, but did not go through the study of professional film and television performance, nor did she inherit her mother's acting talent. Therefore, in this circle, it is always carried by her mother Wang Ji. On the one hand, it is protection, and on the other hand, it is the use of the mother's resources to pave the way.
In 2011, Gao Liwen starred in the first movie "Rescue in Danger", which was to cooperate with her mother Wang Ji, and also played a mother and daughter in the movie. Gao Liwen's character in the film is kidnapped, and the mother pleads with her ex-husband to go deep into the desert to rescue her daughter.
In 2012, Gao Liwen starred in the first TV series "Between life and death", playing a female prosecutor, who also cooperated with her mother Wang Ji and was not broadcast.
In the 2013 urban family emotional drama "My Best Old Mother", Gao Liwen continued to cooperate with her mother Wang Ji and played mother and daughter again.
In the 2018 urban emotional inspirational drama "Homecoming", Gao Liwen and her mother Wang Ji still played mother and daughter.
In the 2020 contemporary commercial spy drama "Storm Dance", Gao Liwen and her mother Wang Ji starred together, and the relationship between the roles is unknown.
By this year's "Migratory Birds", Wang Ji has been a mother and daughter in the play with her daughter Gao Liwen for at least the fourth time.
The first time in "Critical Rescue", it was the mother who asked the father to save the daughter; this time in the "Migratory Bird", it was the young daughter, in order to help the seriously ill mother complete her wish, drove her mother alone to see the sea.
In such a movie, no one can question the acting skills and emotions of the actors, because Gao Liwen and Wang Ji are like filming a variety reality show called "Where Did Mom Go", so everything you think is fake may be true.
Maybe the box office of "Migratory Birds" will hit the street, maybe Gao Liwen is difficult to make a big difference in today's film and television circle, but having a mother like Wang Ji is already happy enough.
