When it comes to the old cannons in Beijing, many people will think of Feng Xiaogang in the movie "Old Cannons", and people who know more about that era will think of Wang Shuo, the core figure of the cultural circle in Beijing, who has a pivotal position in the entire film and television circle, and those who were calling for wind and rain in the circle have to be sold to Shuo Ye for face.
And few people mention a common friend of Wang Shuo and Feng Xiaogang, he is the real old cannon of that era, this person is Ye Jing, talking about this big person is not as thunderous as described by the editor, but his work and his influence on the entire film and television circle is actually very important.
Ye Jing and Wang Shuo belong to the same military compound, Ye Jing lives downstairs from Wang Shuo's house, and the phrase "spitting downstairs" that often appears in the TV series "Days Related to Youth" directed by Ye Jing is probably feeling that Wang Shuo did some "lack of morality" things in those years.
Of course, at that time, Wang Shuo was not yet wang Shuo in the eighties and nineties of the pingjing film and television circle, according to Ye Jing's words, although many people today define Wang Shuo as "leper" and "hooligan", in fact, Wang Shuo is already the most honest child in their hospital, Ye Jing said bluntly in an interview with the media: "You say I am a hooligan, then I have nothing to say, I admit it myself, but you have described Wang Shuo as a hooligan, said to be a leper, you have wronged Wang Shuo, he was forced to become a hooligan alive!" ”
Ye Jing's words were not unreasonable, at that time, Ye Jing was not only a leading figure among these groups of people in the Training General Compound, but also enjoyed a high reputation in some of the surrounding areas that could be "radiated".
According to Gao Xiaosong, Shuo Ye was certainly not the most capable of fighting in their courtyard, at that time Shuo Ye was just a small person who followed Ye Jing, and it was actually Ye Jing who really charged the battlefield, the reason why Wang Shuo could vividly reproduce the ferocity of the children of the courtyard in that era was actually mostly heard by Ye Jing's side.

After the "First Normal University" dropped out of school, Ye Jing and Wang Shuo, two young people who did not want to be bound, joined hands to set up a self-employed household, opened the first Sichuan restaurant in Beijing, the business was very prosperous at the beginning, because Ye Jing was quite prestigious in the local area, some friends on the road often came to patronize, as a figure with a head and a face in the capital, Ye Jing naturally regarded this place as a stronghold for fox friends to "get drunk".
There are a lot of meals, not much money, people in that era are generally still relatively simple, not to mention ye Jing's old cannons, naturally "face" is more important than "Lizi", but at first the restaurant still made some money.
And the real reason why the hotel can't be maintained is still in Ye Jing's temper, the grumpy "lepers" can not get used to these "gods", three days a small fight, five days a big fight, most of the time is the "Ye Jing Front" first move the hand, for a long time, the "Ye Wang" duo's restaurant seems to have evolved into a martial arts hall, it is said that once there happened to be no "drunken gang" where Ye Boss was stationed in the store, a Henan customer who had practiced martial arts and Ye Jing clashed, this person stood up and calmly said to Ye Jing: I'll be with you."

Sai Weng lost the horse to know that it is not blessed, without the failure of this restaurant, naturally there will be no two big guys in the future film and television industry, after that, Wang Shuo focused on writing, and Ye Jing also devoted himself to the creation of his first novel script, and then with Ye Jing's own outstanding talent, and the influence of those courtyard cultures, as well as his own relationship network, Ye Jing began to emerge in the film and television circle.
He first played the role of the big brother of "Little Heel Head" in the movie "I Am Your Father" cooperated by Wang Shuo and Feng Xiaogang, this role was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and people at that time may not know that Ye Jing's performance relied heavily on his true color, he himself was an out-and-out "boss", with the excellent play of Yao Erga, the actor of "Little Heel Head" in the film, Ye Boss played the old nature is also familiar.

In the later movie "Party A and Party B", the scene of "General Patton" needed to use tanks, but Feng Xiaogang at that time lacked a budget, came to find Ye Jing boss to help, Ye Boss did not say anything, free of charge to him in the barracks to transfer a battalion of tanks, according to later Ye Jing, don't say so many tanks, that is, cars, but also have to refuel to move the nest, right? A little fire is all money!
Later, Ye Jing also helped Feng Xiaogang make a cameo role in "Party A and Party B", that is, the big boss who put green light on his eyes at night, ate all the living creatures in the village, and finally wanted to sleep with a lobster.

A year later, Ye Jing could no longer sink into loneliness, he decided to test the waters himself, directed the then sensational TV series "Where Dreams Begin", in 2000, he hit the iron while it was hot, and completed his second directorial work "Laughing generously", after which Ye Jing had nothing to learn from Wang Shuo and Feng Xiaogang, because he already knew everything, he began to brew one of the greatest works in the history of Chinese television drama: "Days Related to Youth", this "Rubber Man" and "Play is heartbeat" by Wang Shuo. The work adapted from the two works became the bible of "underground TV dramas" for a time. Fans call it the Chinese version of Once Upon a Time in America.
Although Guo Degang, who had participated in the audition in the crew of "Days Related to Youth", failed to participate in the role in the play as he wished, Guo Degang still admitted that he admired director Ye Jing very much, and the actor's article later participated in Guo Degang's program and also commented that Ye Jing was a "director who always lives in adolescence".
Among them, the most heavyweight fan of this drama is actually Wang Shuo himself, who said that Ye Jing's "Days Related to Youth" is the film and television work that can restore the essence of his novel. After all, Ye Jing and Wang Shuo experienced everything in the novel together, and Ye Jing was the party in the novel. Even Ye Jing himself has said: "Only I know Wang Shuo best, and I can best appreciate what he wants to express in his works, and no one should be discouraged, there is one, including Jiang Wen's "Sunny Days"! ”
It is worth mentioning that Ye Jing's persistence has made a large number of big stars who are still active in the ranks of first-line actors in the film, among which people are well known as articles and Bai Baihe, the two at that time were still third-year students of the university, because Ye Dao insisted on using new people, these students who were still smelly at that time had the opportunity to emerge in this great TV series, thus starting their brilliant acting careers.
What is more worthy of people's fun is that Chen Yufan, who plays the role of Xu Xun in the play, is precisely because he completed the process from acquaintance to love with Bai Baihe on the set, and finally got married, but what makes people sigh is that in the past few years, the two finally encountered a marriage breakdown and their feelings fell apart.

At that time, the little-known Tong Dawei, Huang Meng, Qi Xiang, Yu Haolei, as well as guo Jinglin, Wang Xiaozhu, who were still unknown at that time, Gao Lu, Li Yue, and other stages that are still active in re-TV dramas, whether they are artists who have achieved fame or blockbuster rising stars, they have benefited from this film to varying degrees.
【Addiction again】
Just as director Ye Jing was preparing to glow the second spring, his two consecutive works "Remember the Song of the Teenager 1969" and "Days Related to Youth" were shelved indefinitely due to the shortage of post-publicity costs, and "Find a Friend" (now renamed "Originally We Are So Strange") as one of the "Youth Trilogies" did not know when it would meet with the general audience.

As a loyal fan of Ye Dao's drama, we hope that Boss Ye can settle the difficulties he faces today like he did when he was a teenager, and bring his proud works to us as promised.
