Rebirth Enchanted Xiangjiang
Chapter 378
High density two days ago.
Mo Yan, a writer who only gained fame two years ago, is staying in his hometown of Gaomi, and continues to write about him while he is criticized by the recipients.
Last year, he published a novelette red sorghum in the "People's Literature" magazine, which caused a sensation in the literary world. At the beginning of this year, he published a new "Joy" in the first and second issues of the "People's Literature" magazine. As a result, this article was criticized, the publication was retracted and destroyed, and even the editor-in-chief of the magazine was suspended for investigation, and Mo Yan had to withdraw to his hometown of Gaomi.
However, two days ago, a visitor came to Mo Yan's house. A very rough and skinny farmer was a farmer with his back facing the sky.
Naturally, a great writer would not have any farmers come to him. It is indeed not casual to talk about having Hongru and no Baiding. Although Mo Yan worked in the countryside for 10 years as a child, farming and herding cattle. It is not without acquaintances in the countryside. Even though his family has land in Gaomi County, he used to work in Beiping and his wife and daughter lived in Gaomi. Every time he visits relatives in Gaomi, his favorite thing is to work in the land.
However, he is now a great writer and a cultural man. If he doesn't say how he would treat his former poor friends, he would say that those poor friends would not come to his door, and people don't want face.
It is not the same type of people who naturally will not join together.
This man who looks like a farmer also looks like. Although he worked in the countryside for two years and worked as a worker in a factory for a few years, he was recruited into the Department of Photography of Beijing Film University. People in their 30s are fast, and they just go to university like that, and they still study photography. Are there any tall people?
After graduation, he was assigned to the Guangxi Film Studio. Afterwards, a film crew in Hong Kong specifically named him as the cameraman. The male and female actors in it are the big stars of Hong Kong, the female is Lin Qingxia, and the male is named Qiao Feng. No But the male protagonist is still an investor in the movie and the big boss of Hong Kong.
The reason why the Hong Kong crew just graduated was called by name because although he looks like a farmer, his name is Zhang Yimou. In the words of the Hong Kong boss Qiao Feng, you are Zhang Yimou. You will be the best photographer in China. .
Although I don’t know why the Hong Kong boss Qiao Feng is so determined, Zhang Yimou did quickly prove that Qiao Feng’s words were true. He immediately filmed the movie Yellow Earth by his classmate Cheng Kaige. As a photographer, he took a lot of photography. Many of the awards are international awards, and he has also become the best photographer in China, not one of them.
Zhang Yimou is not satisfied with being the best photographer. He wants to be a director. He wants to control the shooting of a movie by himself.
Then he saw the red sorghum published by Mo Yan, and felt that the sorghum field in the sorghum field, the men and women in the sorghum field, were bold, open-minded, open-minded, and he liked the freedom and joy of being a person as he pleased, so he decided to make this The film was adapted into a movie, and his idea was also supported by Xi’an Film Studio.
"Look at the script, if there is no problem, it will be finalized." Zhang Yimou has looked for Mo Yan many times, and this time I want to let Mo Yan look at the script again.
Zhang Yimou approached Mo Yan and said that he wanted to adapt him. Mo Yan agreed. At the beginning, Mo Yan was the screenwriter, and there were two others. After the three wrote the script, they gave Zhang Yimou to Zhang Yimou, but Zhang Yimou had a lot of his ideas. After the script has been changed a lot, I will come to Mo Yan to discuss it every time I am finished. This time Zhang Yimou came again because of this matter, but this time Zhang Yimou is going to finalize it directly.
"What you changed is very different from what we wrote at the beginning. I knew that this script would be better than what you wrote." After reading the script, Mo Yan smiled speechlessly.
The script in his hand is not to mention the original manuscript written by them at the beginning, but it is different from the one discussed last time. It is completely different from the original script. Zhang Yimou not only made many changes, but also made many changes. After doing a lot of simplification, Mo Yan felt that he almost couldn't see the shadow of the original manuscript.
"Forget it, it's up to you, anyway, you are the director, the story is in your heart,
"I'm looking for you besides the script for this, now, look at this." Zhang Yimou opened the broken leather bag and took out a newspaper from the inside and handed it to Mo Yan.
Mo Yan picked it up and saw that it was a People's Daily. There was a photo on it, a group photo of six people, one of whom was circled with a pen.
"Do you want Gong Li to be the heroine?" Mo Yan asked with a frown.
"Yes, I think Gong Li is suitable. You know, I have acted in a movie. When I was filming Lao Jing, I deeply realized that whether a movie can be made well depends on whether the actors are suitable. Actors who look like the characters are good, Gong Li is like Jiu'er." Zhang Yimou said sternly.
Laojing hasn’t been released yet, but it’s coming soon. This film is Zhang Yimou’s first time as an actor. In order to make this film, their crew went to the remote Taihang Mountains in the remote countryside. Zuoquan, Jiangjun County, went to shoot the film. During the Anti-Japanese War, General Zuo Quan, the deputy chief of the General Staff of the Eighth Route Army, died there, so in memory of General Zuo Quan, the name was changed from Liao County to Zuo Quan.
Although it is in Jiangjun County, the environment there is bad and the traffic is blocked, especially in Shiyujiao Village where they photographed. As the story of Laojing tells, Shiyujiao Village is extremely short of water resources. The villagers have drilled 151 wells for hundreds of years, but they were all dry wells.
The filming of Laojing’s story began in such a village. One of the episodes was that the well dug collapsed. Zhang Yimou’s character and heroine were trapped in the well. In order to show the psychological feelings and screen image of being trapped in the well for three days, Zhang Yimou was really He didn't eat a bite for three days.
After the film was filmed, Zhang Yimou felt shocked when he saw the edited film, and Zhang Yimou, who had been a photographer and an actor, also got his own insight from it. That is, you must choose the right actors to make a movie. It fits perfectly with the character image, so that the film made can have a soul. Just like Lao Jing, he Zhang Yimou is thin and skinny, and everyone laughs at him as a farmer, but Lao Jing can play the role so well. Because the image of a farmer fits the role, does it make you feel shocked to act?
Gong Li is the Jiuer in his heart.
