The movies he made will retain a bit of pure literati character. Watching Jiang Wen's movies can always make some people who can understand them make a case.
is different from Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige’s "behaved and catering". His films have never tried to cater to any era or any mainstream culture and concept.
In 1994, his first film "Sunny Day", directed by him, became a phenomenal film. Although the audience generally reported that it didn't understand it, it didn't affect it as the box office champion of the year.
not only won many awards at the Venice Film Festival, but also made the 18-year-old Xia Yu the youngest international actor, and since then established Jiang Wen's position in the director circle.
But Jiang Wen was the director, and this man made it all alone. —— Liu Xiaoqing
Speaking of Liu Xiaoqing and Jiang Wen, there is always a feeling that they are two generations. In fact, Jiang Wen is 9 years younger than Liu Xiaoqing. The two met when they filmed "Furong Town" in 1986.
Jiang Wen was 22 years old at the time. He was an unknown college student in Chinese opera. Liu Xiaoqing was already a well-known film and television star at the time.
two people got married because of this drama and soon talked about love. The disparity in status and age caused a great sensation at the time, and more importantly, Liu Xiaoqing was still married.
Liu Xiaoqing mentioned this relationship in a later interview
Not to mention the more conservative social environment at that time, even now this sibling relationship can be regarded as shocking.
Liu Xiaoqing takes care of Jiang Wen very much. After "Furong Town", her two films "Spring Peach" and "The Great Eunuch Li Lianying" all carry Jiang Wen. When
was young, Jiang Wen was not a "stab" that ordinary people could hold firmly. He often quarreled with the director from start to finish because of issues such as character creation. Liu Xiaoqing knew that Jiang Wen was talented, and she encouraged Jiang Wen to be a director altogether, so that no one could control what he wanted to shoot.

Bole and confidant
In order to find the subject matter of the filming, Liu Xiaoqing accompanied Jiang Wen to find many novels. Until the end of 1991, Jiang Wen was excited when he flipped through his neighbor Wang Shuo's "Animal Fierce" He stayed up all night. In the novel, Jiang Wen, who was born in a compound with Wang Shuo, saw his youth and memories.
It can be seen from this that "Sunny Day" also has the shadow of Jiang Wen, and he must inject infinite emotions.
On an ordinary afternoon at Liu Xiaoqing's house, Wang Shuo, Wen Jun, and Jiang Wen hit it off and decided to make "Ferocious Animals" into a movie. On Liu Xiaoqing's suggestion, Jiang Wen changed the movie's name to "Sunny Day".
Young Jiang Wen is full of spirits. Emotionally, there is Liu Xiaoqing’s pampering; in his career, at the age of 24, he won the Baihua actor with "Furong Town", and at the age of 25, he appeared in Zhang Yimou’s debut novel "Red Sorghum" at home and abroad... Jiang Wen seems to feel that there is nothing he can do. . The ensuing funding problem of
taught the young director a lesson. Halfway through the filming of the film, the crew had a serious funding problem. The money was gone and the producers could not be contacted.
Later Jiang Wen recalled: Once he called for preparation... and found that the lights were all turned on the other side, saying that they could not receive the money and they stopped doing it. I said that they would give them money. The producer said that the big brother has no money, I said that How do you do it? The producer said, eldest brother, you will give me something, I will go to you... Okay, I will pay some money, and then they will turn the lights around.
Wang Shuo recalled: I saw Jiang Wen again at a dinner. He looked very disappointed. When I talked about when the filming of the film would be finished, an actor at the same table said, "The title may have to be changed to "About Winter"...
Jiang Wen almost got into a fight with someone because of this sentence.
Wang Shuo
In the most difficult time, Liu Xiaoqing used all of his savings, and even asked for the passbooks of his mother and sister... to piece together three million for Jiang Wen, and then borrowed a portion of the money to make "Sunshine "Bright Days" continues to be filmed. The movie
was an instant hit once it was released, and it was also selected as one of the ten best movies in the world by Time.
Venus also said that without Liu Xiaoqing's help, there would be no Jiang Wen today. Many years after the breakup of
, Liu Xiaoqing was imprisoned because of tax issues. At that time, relatives and friends around him were afraid of getting into trouble.It's all how far away from her.
Jiang Wen stood up, paid for her and contributed...
what causes and what effect. The love and righteousness of the two people also made each other.
is also because of Liu Xiaoqing's "wisdom eyes, beading" and "petting", that makes the film industry harvest a talented and excellent director.
Jiang Wen and Liu Xiaoqing have become best friends in life from their former lovers. Appreciation of each other and the persistence of each other is the best ending.
