When Zhou Dongyu won the Academy Awards with "Young You", Ma Sichun played to her strengths in writing and sent a long congratulatory article, she blessed Zhou Dongyu with a small amount of pen and ink, but praised the director Zeng Guoxiang with most of the pen and ink!

People familiar with Zeng Guoxiang know that after filming his scene, the distance with the film queen is very close, Ma Sichun's praise has some "flattering" meaning, and after Zhou Dongyu, who was in the same running line at the time, won the film again, Ma Sichun must be a little "anxious"!
She urgently needs to stabilize her position in the film industry with a film, and it is best to take another film queen!
Zeng Guoxiang already has a good sister Zhou Dongyu as the royal heroine, and she can only find another way!
After wanting to take the film, I want to prove that I am not relying on the northwest circle behind me, the cooperation with the Director of the Hong Kong Circle is the best choice, the general who can rush the award is the literary film, and the Director of the Hong Kong Circle who shoots the literary film is only a few, of which the cooperation director Xu Anhua is the best choice!
First, she is a good friend of her sister-in-law, and second, she is good at making literary and art films, and the winning rate is very high!
Then again, Ma Sichun's first film was thanks to this director Xu Anhua!
At the Golden Horse Awards that year, she was the chairman of the jury, and when the best actress was selected, Zhou Dongyu tied for first place with an actress in the first round of voting, and Ma Sichun ranked third!
So Xu Anhua proposed that July and Ansheng were an inseparable whole, and regarded them as a whole vote, so the Golden Horse Awards gave birth to the first double yolk egg shadow queen.
Afterwards, Xu Anhua was interviewed, in the face of giving such a result, she said that the shadow queen should give Ansheng, because July's people did not have her brilliant, but if they did not give July, it would be some regrets!
It seems that Xu Anhua likes the role of "July", why, because she chose Ma Sichun to star in "The First Burning Incense" because she valued Ma Sichun's brilliant performance in "July and Ansheng"!
The point is, "The First Incense" is very hot, although word of mouth lost, the box office lost, but can not resist its heat, although its heat is negative!
Its popularity mainly focuses on these aspects, the first is the extreme discord between the male and female protagonists and the original work, the second is the gap between the high-configuration creative team and the word of mouth, and the third is that Zhang Ailing's original work has actually been adapted into youth pain literature!
However, have you found that the former of these three points is linked, like it is not like a "work after taking the film" specially created for Ma Sichun!
The first point, Ma Sichun starred in Ge Weilong, from the beginning of the casting has been much complained about, Ma Sichun and Ge Weilong do not see any similarity, but the main creators insist that it is very similar, because according to the description of the original work, Ge Weilong is an ordinary Shanghai girl, focusing on "ordinary", but also with the "blunt feeling" of female college students, and in the case of sisters in your circle who are full of desire, Ma Sichun has these characteristics!
Therefore, Ma Sichun's appearance is not the choice of the investor, but the director and the main creator choose Ma Sichun according to the degree of conformity of the character image!
The second point, the high-configuration creative team, this configuration is too high, Zhang Ailing's original work, Wang Anyi's screenwriter, Wong Kar-wai's royal photographer, and Sakamoto Ryuichi's soundtrack, etc., not to mention that each link is high-configuration, as long as two or two of them are combined, the award can be in hand!
Please come to such a high configuration, obviously rushing to the award!
Third, Zhang Ailing's original work has always been spicy and ironic, and the film has been branded with "youth pain literature" since the beginning of publicity, but this style is not very similar to Ma Sichun's style, Ma Sichun has always called himself a "literary youth", obsessed with Rao Xueman and Annie Baby, and often sends some sad literature and art!
She is a lover of youth pain literature, she is also a "pseudo-Zhang fan", remember that she saw "The First Burning Incense" as a true love novel, and was zhang Ailing's fans came out to punch the face, from the beginning Ma Sichun will misunderstand this novel and understand it as the true love of her favorite youth pain literature!
Therefore, this movie has changed from Zhang Ailing's style to the style of youth pain literature, which is too in line with Ma Sichun, and it is simply tailor-made for Ma Sichun!
Unfortunately, this work specially created for Ma Sichun was wrong from the beginning!
Zhang Ailing's works have always been difficult to shoot, Xu Anhua is the director who has filmed Zhang Ailing the most, but they have not been evaluated well, even if Ang Lee shoots, it is not all positive evaluation!
Zhang Ailing's work is difficult to shoot is a feature, and there is another feature, is to choose the right role, which is equal to half the success!
But this role, from the beginning of the wrong choice, Ma Sichun starred in Ge Weilong, just like Tranquility starred in Lin Daiyu, Peng Yuyan starred in Qiao Qiqiao, just like Jiang Wen starred in Cheng Dieyi!
Such a violation of harmony, let alone success, choose the wrong role, that is, equal to half of the failure!
From casting to Reuters, this movie has been complained about, almost determining the failure of this movie, even if the drama is changed well, the supporting roles are selected in the wonderful, and even the acting skills of the two leading actors are good, they cannot make up for the gap between the actors and the character image!
After the release of the movie, the result did not even have to think, the box office and word of mouth were failed, the male and female protagonists were not even willing to promote the film, except on social media, symbolically sent a few pieces of publicity, the rest of the interviews and Reuters, almost invisible!
Xu Anhua said that he did not consider the opinions of netizens at the beginning, if he knew that netizens had such a big reaction, he must replace the actors before filming began.
Regardless of whether what Xu Anhua said is true or false, she does not know what netizens think, but Ma Sichun and Peng Yuyan, who are artists, are definitely clear, so they know the views of netizens after the movie is released, it is better to choose to be invisible and not face this "storm attack"!
The protagonist is invisible, and the director must stand up! After experiencing such a dismal ending, Xu Anhua also changed his opinion, admitting that his casting mistakes, although indirectly admitted, because what she said was that she did not consider the opinions of netizens (meaning that she agreed with Ma Sichun, but netizens did not agree, her mistakes did not consider the opinions of netizens!). )
This answer is very good, a bit of the meaning of throwing the pot, the fault is not in "I", but also saved Ma Sichun's face, because "I" is very appreciative of Ma Sichun, think that she plays the heroine is very suitable, but netizens do not agree ah!
With the response of Xu Anhua himself, the film was completely defeated, the box office could not be counted on, the originally expected awards were impossible, and Ma Sichun's "post-film dream" could also be shattered!
To tell the truth, Ma Sichun is really not suitable for the style of the Hong Kong circle, the actresses under the lens of the Director of the Hong Kong Circle are all beautiful women with the temperament of "Hong Kong Style", and Ma Sichun's simple beauty cannot support the lens of the Director of the Hong Kong Circle, and Ma Sichun's performance is very unsatisfactory!
After all, the directors of the northwest circle, such as her uncle Gu Changwei, Zhang Yimou, etc., the heroines under the lens are simple and beautiful, which is completely in line with Ma Sichun's image!
She also didn't mind that others said she saw her aunt, after all, everyone knew that director Xu Anhua was a good friend of her aunt! Only this time did not help Ma Sichun get the film queen, but also let her go downhill on the road of the movie, I don't know if director Xu Anhua will feel ashamed of his old friend Jiang Wenli?
However, no matter what, Ma Sichun should be more sober, after all, she does not lack resources, does not lack acting skills, find a direction suitable for herself, and it is more likely to take the film!
