Two days ago, director Zhang Yimou was a guest in the live broadcast room with Hui, and talked about his new film with Dong Yuhui and Yu MinhongArticle 20, sincerely expressed his understanding of the actor, he thinks:The role is made up of an actor, and the seven emotions and six desires depend on him (the actor) to express, and the good and bad of his expression determine everything.
Therefore, it has taken me more than 20 years to slowly understand:Letting the actors give full play is the most important homework of a director!
Even because the actor played a very small role on the scene, as long as there was a shining point, he was willing to readjust some structure.
Today, after the movie "Article 20" released a special feature of the cast of "I know this big family", we found that Zhang Yimou's understanding and importance of actors, he said so, and he also implemented it in this year's Spring Festival new film. In "Article 20", there are not only Ma Li and Lei Jiayin, who sparked infinite sparks in their first cooperation, but also the reunion of old friends of the entire crew, showing that tacit understanding of sympathy, and the reunion of young actors and old actors after many years, with a lot of emotion between each other.
Judging from the special, Ma Li plays a strong daughter-in-law Li Maojuan in the film this time, how strong is it? In Ma Li's words, yes"It controls the lifeblood of the whole family."
In the clip, we found that Li Maojuan stood up for the child, and her lips trembled with anger as Director Zhang played by Zhang Yi.
And Lei Jiayin plays the husband Han Ming, who is afraid of his daughter-in-law, who is said to be at the bottom of the food chain in the entire family.
Although these two actors are working together for the first time in this film, it seems that they are particularly husband and wife in the audience's feeling, especially the feeling that women are strong and men are weak is not strange at all.
Maybe it's because Ma Li has played the role of such a strong wife more than once in previous film and television works. For example, in "My Hometown and Me", she played Qiu Xia, who practiced judo.
As for Lei Jiayin, whether it is Chen Junsheng in "The First Half of My Life" or Zhou Bingkun in "The World", they all belong to the role of "a good nest and a man". Therefore, "Tiger Mom and Cat Dad" belong to the strong roles of the two in their previous film and television works, and it is effortless to handle.
And the tacit understanding between the two of them, who are also from the Northeast, is also high, especially in the creation of lines, which is simply sparks, not only often makes each other laugh, but even director Zhang Yimou can be amused by them Hahaha. It's really full of expectations for their roles and performances this time!
The two most popular dramas last year, one was 94 points for "The Long Season", one is 8"Hurricane" with a score of 5 points must be familiar to everyone. The reason why it is popular is that the plot is good-looking, and there is another reason, just like director Zhang Yimou saidThe role is made by the actor, and the good and bad of his expression determine everything!
In the cast special of "I Know This Family", Zhang Yi said that he was also chasing "The Long Season".
After he joined the group, he saw Chen Minghao and Jiang Qiming and other actors in "The Long Season", and he said that he felt like he had seen an idol all of a sudden!
In the clip, we can also see that in addition to Ma Desheng, the "Dance King of Hualin City" in the play, and the ruthless Fu Weijun, there are also Fan Wei who plays Wang Xiang, Liu Yitie who plays Wang Yang, and Shi Pengyuan who plays Wang Bei, the father and son.
There is also Yang Yiwei, who plays the "drama face" Yang Yiwei, who plays the head of the security section of the birch steel plant, Fan Wei exclaimed, I didn't expect 6 to come!
simply brought the entire crew of "The Long Season" over to the pot. It can be seen that not only Zhang Yi is chasing this drama, but even director Zhang Yimou should also be a fan of the drama. Unlike ordinary fans, as a great director, Director Zhang can invite all the actors he recognizes to play his own plays.
In addition to "The Long Season", Zhang Yimou said in an interview on CCTV's "China Film Report" that "Hurricane" was also one of the few dramas last year that he finished chasing all of them, and he liked Gao Ye's role in it, so he decided to find her to cooperate in "Article 20".
In addition to the "sister-in-law" Gao Ye and Zhang Yi who played Anxin, we also found Aruna who played the role of "Crazy Donkey" Wang Peilu and played the role of "Mangcun Li Hongwei" in the special.
and Wang Xiao, who plays a policeman Yang Jian who is completely different from Anxin in the play.
It is equivalent to the crew of "Hurricane", and there are 4 actors at once, and this kind of acquaintance gathering also makes Gao Ye have a familiar taste.
Regarding the cooperation with Wang Xiao more than once, she said that this tacit understanding has reached a point where it does not need to be said.
Therefore, in "Article 20", from a private aspect, director Zhang Yimou completed his own "star chasing", and from a work point of view, he also gave so many good actors a good opportunity to meet the audience on the big screen during the Spring Festival.
can act in Zhang Yimou's movie, isn't this a dream of all actors! Unexpectedly, this time in the movie "Article 20", it was really a two-way rush between the big director and the "small" actors, and I was really moved by their sympathy!
In fact, as early as 13 years ago in 2010, Gao Ye played a very small role in the movie "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" directed by Zhang Yimou, when she was still a member of the assistant director team, after 13 years, when she cooperated with Zhang Yimou again, she was already a well-known actress, Gao Ye sighed, "It's finally my turn!" ”
Zhang Yimou said that Gao Ye represents a kind of persistence. "She adheres to a belief and insists on the pursuit of performance. Even if you are unknown, even if you play a small supporting role in many movies and are not noticed, but if you persevere, you will have a rewarding day. ”
This also makes people look forward to Gao Ye's big screen work after the explosion of "Hurricane"!
In the special, we also learned that Zhao Liying's first video work was with Fan Wei, "Kneeling Chapter" in 2006.
And Fan Wei also clearly remembers that Zhao Liying's role in the short film is an equestrian rider.
At that time, Zhao Liying was fledgling as the champion of Yahoo Search Star Feng Xiaogang's group, and 18 years later, Zhao Liying is now a well-known big flower.
In this film, her role as the hearing-impaired character Hao Xiuping was greatly praised by director Zhang Yimou.
It can be seen that in "Article 20", whether it is an actor who cooperates for the first time, or an old acquaintance, a new and old actor who has not seen him for many years, under the command of director Zhang Yimou, he can show his most shining side, as director Zhang Yimou said, letting the actors give full play is the most important lesson of a director! I look forward to these "little" actors who persevere for the dream of actors, and shine in this big director's big screen work this year!
