Chapter 103 Gossip about Gong Li

After some communication, the two discussed the pros and cons of many new postures and gained a lot.

The lady has very good skills.

Zhang Chen actually felt a sense of mutual admiration.

During the half-time break, Zhang Chen quietly returned to the team, while Xu Qing found a pack of cigarettes from the drawer of the table next to him and threw one to Zhang Chen.

The lighter rang, and the unique aroma of tobacco filled the room.

Xu Qing smoked an imported ladies' cigarette, a slender medium-sized black cigarette that tasted a bit sweet.

Zhang Chen was waiting for the other party to put forward conditions, but Xu Qing said nothing. She just looked at him with a smile on her face.

Fan Binbin likes to chat about something during the half-time break, and Zhang Chen is somewhat used to it.

It's a bit difficult to adapt to meeting someone so different all of a sudden.

This time, it was Zhang Chen who spoke first, talking about the ecology of female celebrities in China.

“The domestic entertainment industry has never lacked beautiful faces or actors with excellent acting skills, but what it has always lacked is opportunities.

There are so many beautiful actresses, and many of them have good acting skills, but only a few of them can eventually become famous.

In our class, only Jiang Wenli and I became famous. Is it because the others were not beautiful? Is it because they didn’t work hard? Neither of them is the case.

The only thing they lack compared to us is luck.

If a female star wants to be famous, it is crucial for her to come across a good work or meet a good director. "

Xu Qing has her own set of values, which are the result of her life insights over the years.

Zhang Chen has a different view: "If actresses want to become famous in the industry, they still have to fight for it."

In order to make his point more convincing, Zhang Chen gave an example: "For example, Gong Li, whom I mentioned before, why do you think she was able to play in Red Sorghum?"

Xu Qing was curious: "Wasn't it Zhang Yimou who picked it?"

Zhang Chen flicked the ash off his cigarette: "Yes and no."

"When filming Red Sorghum, the first actor Zhang Yimou chose was actually Shi Ke.

At that time, Shi Ke, Gong Li, Jin Lili, Wu Yujuan and Chen Wei were known as the 'Five Golden Flowers' of the 85 class of the Central Academy of Drama.

Among them, Shi Ke is the most famous. She has had experience in shooting commercials before, and she is the most consistent with the image of "Jiuer" in the original work.

Because Mo Yan's description of Jiuer is that she is plump and fat, which is exactly the same as Shi Ke's appearance.

This is actually a bit similar to the Zhang Ziyi and Zeng Li incident. It is said that Zhang Yimou also went to the Central Academy of Drama to look for actors, but Gong Li was not there, so he chose Shi Ke.

Zeng Li knew that she had missed Zhang Yimou, but she did nothing and let the opportunity slip away. But Gong Li is not Zeng Li. She went to find Zhang Yimou and successfully passed the audition.

It is said that Zhang Yimou was undecided at the time and wanted to decide by flipping a coin. In the end, it was the photographer Gu Changwei who said something good for Gong Li, and Zhang Yimou finally chose Gong Li.

"Really? There are so many gossips here. How did you know?"

Zhang Chen chuckled and said that he just heard it from others, but he was complaining in his heart, “You will know it after you have watched enough Chinese entertainment.”

"So, actresses still have to fight for it. If they don't, Shi Ke might be the international superstar today."

"You mean, I have to fight for it too?"

"Of course, otherwise you won't get any resources, unless your image and acting style are very special and cannot be copied by others, like Chen Daoming..."

Xu Qing pondered in silence.

Zhang Chen continued: "Now is the era of the Four Dans and Two Bings. In fact, the four young actresses each have their own characteristics. Although there is competition among them, there is not much overlap. For example, Zhou Xun, she mainly focuses on the TV circle and has not made many film works. The media are all praising her for being born with natural acting skills.

This is the route she chose, acting talent, in other words, it’s actually her character setting.

There are also some who are different, such as Xu Jinglei, who is an artistic actress. Her acting skills are average, but her personality is clear. She flaunts her image as a talented woman and a literary youth. She posts some inexplicable words on her blog every day, but some people fall for her tricks. ”

"Can I take this route, too?"

When Xu Qing heard this, she was suddenly moved. She knew that her acting skills were just above the passing line, and she would definitely not be able to beat Zhou Xun if she really faced him.

But the literary and artistic route doesn't seem to be difficult.

Zhang Chen sneered: "You? You can't do it!"

"Behind Xu Jinglei stands Wang Dazui, who is a pillar of the literary and artistic circles. Not to mention that he has the Beijing circle behind him. What do you have?"

Xu Qing felt a little embarrassed by the question, but she wanted to listen more.

After so many years in the industry, this is the first time she has seen someone who can analyze the entertainment industry so clearly.

Zhang Chen was also very excited, not to mention chatting naked with a beautiful woman. In his excitement, he used all his knowledge accumulated in his later life.

"The route you are most likely to copy is the two Bings’ route. The two Bings were promoted by Huayi. They don’t have any representative works. The reason they have such a big reputation is entirely due to hype."

After Zhang Chen said this, Xu Qing really discovered that Shuang Bing didn't seem to have any representative works.

Even worse than her, she at least has her own movie "Swordsman".

“But I don’t want to be a vase…”

Xu Qing is a rather pretentious person, otherwise she would not have withdrawn early twice from "Flowers and Youth".

She has had a smooth life since she was a child and is quite proud. If she wanted to be a vase, she could have done it a long time ago.

Zhang Chen shrugged helplessly. He didn't expect to change someone's life with just a few words. He was not a man of luck.

"I want to be famous, but I want to rely on my works and my ability..."

Xu Qing has her own persistence.

Zhang Chen spread his hands, "Then there is only one way left, which is to shoot as many dramas with female protagonists as possible."

"A drama with a female lead? What is a drama with a female lead?"

There is no such saying in China now, but it is actually not difficult to understand from the literal meaning.

"It's a drama centered on female characters, like the Eden Lake that I collaborated with New Line, where the female lead is the real first protagonist and all the stories revolve around her. This is a drama with a strong female lead.

Shoot more dramas like this, let your works speak for themselves, and at the same time give your role enough room to play, so that you can leave an indelible impression on the audience.

Of course, you definitely have no chance in this Eden Lake movie. I said before that the female lead must be a familiar actress in North America. "

After the artistic exchange with Xu Qing, Zhang Chen was not so polite anymore.

We have been honest with each other, why are you still being polite?
Looking at the little stars in Xu Qing's eyes, Zhang Chen felt very satisfied.

He successfully gained the young lady's admiration with his knowledge, which made him feel that his overall recovery speed was accelerated.

Feeling that Lan had almost recovered, Zhang Chen grabbed the other person's legs and pulled his body over.

The enemy has five seconds to arrive at the battlefield...
