Chinese women's volleyball coach Lang Ping recently appeared as a guest on the CCTV talk show and talked about the movie "Chinese Women's Volleyball". She said that she is looking forward to the wonderful performance of this movie, and she praised the protagonist Gong Li for his modest learning spirit and hardworking attitude.
Xinghe will give you a chat today, Gong Li's career path and her film "Chinese Women's Volleyball".
Actor Gong Li
Gong Li's career path
Gong Li was born in Shenyang in 1965. When he was less than one year old, Gong Li moved with his parents to Jinan, the spring city of Shandong.
She loved singing and dancing since she was a child, and Gong Li in middle school was often active on various talent stages. Such childhood experience has accumulated a lot of valuable stage experience for Gong Li's later acting career. We don't know whether this is Gong Li's extraordinary talent or the deliberate cultivation of his parents. But one thing is clear, children’s childhood performance plays an important role in their future development.
Unfortunately, in 1983, Gong Li failed the college entrance examination for the first time.
In 1985, Gong Li, who took the college entrance examination again, had a score of 11 points lower than the admission line of art colleges and faced another failure. Fortunately, Gong Li's artistic talent impressed the teachers in the admissions group of the Central Academy of Drama. The teachers solemnly wrote a written application to the higher-level official department, requesting special approval for Gong Li.
In this way, Gong Li was successfully admitted to the Acting Department of the Central Academy of Drama, and her life opened a new chapter.
We have to admit that Gong Li is very talented in acting. Her debut film "Red Sorghum" was a great success in 1987.
The film won the Golden Bear Award at the Berlin International Film Festival, becoming the first domestic film to win the Best Picture Award at three major European international film festivals, and also won the Chinese Film Golden Rooster Award and the Popular Film Hundred Flower Award for Best Picture. Such a wonderful performance made Gong Li admired by peers in the industry. uses the fashionable words now: great, my sister!
Gong Li became popular and began to make her mark in the domestic and international film circles.
Gong Li in "Red Sorghum"
filming "Red Sorghum" made Gong Li get to know the director Zhang Yimou.
Gong Li is lucky. She met this famous director who later became a top Chinese director when she first debuted. Zhang Yimou is full of praise for Gong Li's acting talent. Since that year, the two have been working closely together for 15 years in film.
In 1990, Gong Li starred in the movie "Judou", which once again caused a sensation.
When Xinghe saw this film, he didn't believe that Gong Li was only 25 years old. Gong Li's appearance is more mature than his peers, and has some meanings of being young and mature, which also shows Gong Li's superb acting skills. "Ju Dou" tells the story of the Republic of China. After marrying an old man (Yang Jinshan, the owner of the dye shop), a young woman, Ju Dou, fell in love with her husband’s nephew Tian Qing and gave birth to her son Tian Bai. The tragic story of Cheng Lun.
Gong Li vividly interprets the image of the heroine Judou, who is shy, bold, implicit and unrestrained, forbearing and strong in the film.
Before the commercialization wave of Chinese films, it should be said that the overall filming was very connotative and sincere.
"Raise the Red Lantern" stills
In 1991, Gong Li starred in the movie "Raise the Red Lantern" directed by Zhang Yimou, and attended the Academy Awards in the same year.
The 26-year-old Gong Li is well-known at home and abroad. She is one of the first Chinese actresses to go abroad. She has achieved fame at a young age. Although only in her twenties, Gong Li is not afraid of any stage, even the world's top awards ceremony such as the American Oscars.
To put it in popular terms, the actor Gong Li of that era has already used movie characters to tell Chinese stories. This is what Gong Li admires Xinghe. China needs to improve cultural soft power and cultural output. This is the responsibility of every actor and every Chinese.
Since then, Gong Li's acting career has developed steadily.
Movies "Autumn Juju", "Farewell My Concubine", "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance", "Living"Gong Li has become a well-deserved first-line actress in China. And Zhang Ziyi, who is also an international movie star, only became famous in 1999 when she appeared in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". Gong Li was ten years earlier than her.
"Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance"
Gong Li's Love
In 1987, Zhang Yimou made his debut film "Red Sorghum" and met Gong Li.
Two talented men and women are attracted to each other and quickly fall in love. Two years later, their feelings were exposed. What surprised and regretted the audience was that in 1995, after filming the last shot of "Shake and Shake, Shake to Grandma's Bridge", Zhang Yimou high-profile announced that he had broken up with Gong Li.
has been in love for eight years! Gong Li gave Zhang Yimou the youngest and most beautiful woman in her twenties, but the relationship between the two did not have a perfect ending. It was not until 1999 that Zhang Yimou fell in love with dancer Chen Ting and soon got married. The world knew what kind of wife Zhang Yimou wanted.
Zhang Yimou, who has a particularly strong entrepreneurial spirit, needs a woman like a good wife and mother to take care of herself with her children at home, and 100% support for her career. Chen Ting is undoubtedly such a woman. She admires Zhang Yimou full of little women. When the two fell in love, Chen Ting was only 18 years old, and Zhang Yimou was 49 years old that year.
Zhang Yimou has been in touch with movies and art all the year round, but he did not expect that in his bones he is still a particularly traditional Chinese man: the male lead outside and the female lead inside.
I don’t know if it’s anger or feelings before. In the second year of breaking up with Zhang Yimou, Gong Li married Huang Hexiang. Regrettably, the two divorced in 2009. According to media reports, the two lived together for many years and lived apart for many years, which is embarrassing.
In fact, if a woman is too ambitious, it is likely to lead to unhappy marriage.
Maybe many female friends disagree, but the reality is often cruel. Women can have their own careers, but it is best not to be too strong. What is too strong? For example, Gong Li, who has developed in Hollywood in the United States for many years and entered the 21st century, has concurrently served as a judge and similar position in many international film festivals. In order to work, Gong Li needs to travel back and forth between various countries frequently, and naturally cannot take care of her home.
But each of us chooses his own life. Gong Li values career more. This is understandable. We respect her choice, as long as we don't regret it. You have to walk down the road you choose, right?
Gong Li
Gong Li in the movie "Eight Dragons" and "Chinese Women's Volleyball"
After 2010, Gong Li deliberately turned down many filming invitations.
An average of two to three years, we can see a new film by Gong Li released. In this case, only a good script can impress Gong Li.
In 2019, director Chen Kexin found Gong Li, who starred in the role of Lang Ping in the movie "Chinese Women's Volleyball". Gong Li readily agrees with such a good script and such a good role.
The Chinese women's volleyball team is a group of heroes. Over the years, the spirit of the women's volleyball team has encouraged generations of young people. Gong Li naturally understands the weight of Lang Ping's role in this film.
All the good things are just intoxicated yesterday, and a touch of bitterness is the taste of today. Think about tomorrow's sun and wind, no matter how hard it is, no matter how tired it is, fearless. The pain in my body makes it difficult for me to fall asleep, and the road under my feet is more tiring. Chasing my dreams is always endless, and I face it calmly without any regrets! Wind, rain, rainbow, sonorous rose, no matter how sad it is, no matter how painful it is to bear. Wind, rain, rainbow, sonorous roses, cross the world, and Swordsman will never retreat! ...
In 2003, Tian Zhen sang "Rainbow and Clang Rose" as the song of the Chinese women's football, which inspired many people and was popular among fans and fans. In fact, this song is also suitable for Chinese women's volleyball team! The girls of the Chinese women's volleyball team are well-deserved sonorous roses.
This year's World Cup, the Chinese women's volleyball team successfully defended their title with a perfect record of 11 victories.
Of course, the Chinese women's volleyball team was invited to attend the National Day parade. But after the glory, Lang Ping's " is still the same sentence, step off the podium, everything starts from scratch ", awe-inspiring the audience.
China should have a film celebrating the spirit of women's volleyball!
