Dongyu Zhou
"I am afraid that everyone expects too high
let everyone down"
This November, Dongyu Zhou's movie "You are a teenager" broke 1.5 billion at the box office, becoming the highest grossing post-90s actor; "She was nominated for the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress for the second time, and was nominated for the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival for three consecutive years.
For many viewers who watched her along the way, seeing her current results, it was really "unexpected". When
first debuted, she was criticized as "not good-looking", "goldfish eyes", "maid face"... and many people were grateful to see how she would "drive high and walk low". As a result, I did not expect that ten years later, the voice surrounding her was mostly "Xiao Zhou Xun" and "the most spiritual actress", and even became one of the actors most eager to cooperate with many directors. What magic power is there in this little Nizi
?
We met her with this curiosity. She just finished the recording of a variety show, and before returning to Beijing for a few days to rest, she hurriedly "paid back" the notice of "You owed" before.
When we walked into the interview room, she had just finished the previous interview and was chatting and joking with the media. From a distance, she looked very small, dressed in her usual private clothes, just like the little sister next door. Seeing that we were setting up the machine, she came over to say hello to us. She would eat a few bites of fruit to satisfy our hunger, so please wait.
When everything was ready, the staff came to whisper to us, hoping to speed up the progress, Zhou Dongyu will take her parents to the movies later, because she has not been with them for a long time because of work. She heard this conversation, waved her hand, and said, "It's okay, don't worry, work first."
She now has no stage fright that she used to deal with the media in the past and has become more natural.
"Unexpectedly." It is also a phrase that Dongyu Zhou would say in every interview. When
learned that she had been nominated for Best Actress in the Golden Rooster Award for two consecutive years, she responded like this; after seeing "Young You" and "Later Us" with more than 1 billion box office results, she also responded like this; After her wonderful performance in "July and Ansheng" and frequently won the best actress trophy, she answered even more so.
"Who am I!"
has experienced the collaboration of "July and Ansheng". Director Zeng Guoxiang and producer Xu Yuezhen are all infatuated with the actor. As soon as the script of "You are in the young" came out, there was nothing else, "Look for Dongyu Zhou first."
However, Zeng Guoxiang has one condition, "You can't have Dongyu Zhou in this movie."
"Of course I can act, who am I? Ah!" Now she has no doubt about her business ability, and immediately took it. But I didn’t expect that after the last cooperation, "They are even tougher this time."
is because in "Youth of Young", she will play Chen Nian as an introverted girl. For Zeng Guoxiang, she is usually "Brother Dong" is a grandfather, she must throw away everything that belongs to Zhou Dongyu and let Chen Nian live in. For this reason, she practiced her manners over and over again, trying to make herself a bit "mother" as much as possible. During the filming of
, Zhou Dongyu’s self-confidence when taking over the script was hit by the director every day, “I’m really too culinary. What I thought before is completely different from what I did on the spot.”
has always been unique to her role. Insight. During
filming "Qi Men Dun Jia", when Director Tsui Hark explained to her the character of Xiao Yuan, who knew that after a lot of explanations, she said, "I know, it's'green tea'". She and the other party had different opinions, almost not "felling" Xu Hark. Although her own understanding may not be consistent with what the director said, but the final performance is still in line with the requirements.
No wonder when Xu Hongyu used her as the heroine in "Like You", Zeng Guoxiang gloated and told him, "Dong Yu will be an actor who makes you love and hate."
At first, he didn't understand the meaning of this sentence. Until the start of "Like You", Xu Hongyu kept stopping to adjust the script because he found that he could not find Zhou Dongyu's feeling.
For Dong Yu, the state of being unable to find the right way with everyone also made her very difficult. So during that filming time, the thing that made her most comfortable was to be called by producer Xu Yuezhen to participate in "July and An"Life" road show.
Later, Xu Hongyu discovered that the uncontrollable nature of her body is actually her most charming state and the most needed mystery in the movie "Like You".
It is said that at the beginning of the film editing, the boys and girls in the team shot the material separately and cut out two different versions of the samples. In fact, the most important difference between the two versions is that Gu Shengnan, played by Dongyu Zhou, presents two different states, one is a ghost and the other is affectionate.
In the end, Xu Hongyu, who was an editor, made a corresponding choice between the two versions, and finally came up with this ghostly and very affectionate Gu Shengnan.
Her weirdness not only caused headaches for the director, but also puzzled the actors who played the show.
is also in the movie "I like you", when Dongyu Zhou asked Takeshi Kaneshiro the phrase "I am not sexy?", it turned out to be just the right laugh. After all, it is difficult for Dongyu Zhou to recognize the "sexy" of the public. Rather.
In fact, this sentence does not come from the script, but from her live performance. But for Takeshi Kaneshiro, who has experienced strict studio life, how can he change his words on the spot? But with the deepening of the two people's cooperation, he discovered that playing with Zhou Dongyu is like a treasure hunter, maybe when the other party will come up with a magic word.
From "July and Ansheng" to "Like You", more and more people are beginning to feel that "Zhou Dongyu is getting better" and "She has finally found a way she is good at"... For her, she has become more confident, "I Now I can’t accept that I’m bad acting."
"Who am I?" After the success of
"July and Ansheng", the most talked about on the Internet is, "Zhang Yimou is one of the most powerful casting directors in the film industry. After all, when the name "Zhou Dongyu" first appeared, it was accompanied by the three words "Zhang Yimou". However, most of the feedback received at that time was, "Why is she?" Before that, Zhang Yimou had actually experienced various criticisms within the management in order to choose her.
"The Hawthorn Tree Love" is Zhang Yimou's comeback after directing the opening ceremony of the Olympics. It is also his return to the original intention of the literary film, which can be said to be highly anticipated. As soon as the casting news came out, many Xiaohua's publicity drafts were round after round, suggesting that he had become the "best candidate" every day.
However, no one thought that the title of "Measuring Girl" would finally fall on this little-known and starless girl. The first shot of
filming was her and Li Xuejian walking on a mountain road. Zhou Dongyu didn't know what to do. The director told her, it's okay, you can just walk, as usual. During the whole shooting process, he never asked her to do too much action, just let her act in the most comfortable way.
In Zhang Yimou's eyes, Dongyu Zhou at that time was actually not very good at acting. Although only 3 seconds can be used in 3 minutes, no one can replace her natural "smart".
Ten years later, when Zhang Yimou mentioned her, he always took the pride of his old father watching his daughter grow up. For her, it still felt so familiar. She talked to us about the latest cooperation with the director, but smiled and said, "There is no official announcement yet, it is not convenient to say more."
But when it comes to the feeling of cooperation, she still can't help but open the conversation. “It’s amazing to be able to work together again in ten years. But this time I’m more nervous, even more nervous than before.” It seems that in everyone’s eyes, both of them have changed in their respective development trajectories, but for As far as she is concerned, everything is still the same as before.
"Once I went to his studio, he wore a hat and covered his face. I saw him in the car and immediately recognized him. The staff next to him asked me how to be so sure. Because of him The walking posture hasn't changed, it's still so powerful. "
Of course, nothing has changed.
After she won the award for "July and Ansheng", she was the first to thank her teacher Zhang Yimou, "Without him, I might not have been exposed to movies."
However, the success of Jingqiu also shaped Zhou Dongyu. Subsequent works are all images of obedient women. There are countless criticisms from the outside world, but in her own opinion, "Because the story is different and the background is different, it will not be fixed by a type of role." Although she said that, both directors Chen Kexin and Zeng GuoxiangIt’s easy for her to fall into a homogenized role. “In fact, after An Sheng, she played a lot of roles, and she still has the shadow of An Sheng.”
Dongyu Zhou doesn’t matter, “Actually, the role of homogeneity is not scary. I don’t think much about this question. Because at each stage, my understanding of life is different, so the final presentation will be different."
"I am Dongyu Zhou." Compared with the previous two years because of variety shows,
Given the negative impression of the public, she seems to have become more and more free and easy and "lovable" in recent years.
We asked her, with Chen Nian's success, there should be no role you dare not play in the future.
"Yes!" She smiled weirdly, "I can't act as a beauty." She also told us that before she played "Young You", she was afraid that she could not be a high school student, and now she is even more afraid that everyone will look for her to act. Youth film. "I'm 27 years old."
She doesn't want to use other answers to engage in Tai Chi with the media, instead she communicates sincerely. Of course, this is how Zhang Yimou taught her to survive. After winning the award, she and Ma Sichun spoke on the stage like a cross talk version of the award. She said that she was not very good at talking.
Indeed, she is afraid of speaking in big scenes, and in the end, every time she listens to the cute words, she has countless fans.
Dongyu Zhou is not an actor who is good at packaging herself. It seems that she can't find the concept of "personality" in her. "I think everyone is eating very well now and they are all smart. Who can be smarter than anyone else? It's disgusting to be pierced at a glance." The
entertainment circle is always described as a Shura field by the outside world, but for her, putting aside the factor of work, she must first lead her own life, "because waiting When you get old, you will find that all these things will be lost. So I only focus on whether I am living seriously."
