Back then, Gong Li and Shi Ke were both classmates of the Chinese Opera, and the two had a good personal relationship.
Gong Li, Shi Ke and three other classmates were voted for by the classmates and were awarded the honorary title of "Five Golden Flowers".
Shi Ke loves to dress up, takes the sexy route and has a lot of influence, while Gong Li seems to be low-key.
In 1986, Zhang Yimou won a number of best with " Laojing ", and the limelight can be said to be in full swing. But Zhang Yimou is no longer satisfied to be a good actor, he has a bolder ambition to change his career as a director.
Gu Changwei understands Zhang Yimou's mind. Gu Changwei likes literature and art, and found Mo Yan 's novella "Red Sorghum Family" in " People's Literature ". It has a bold narrative style and a strong sense of the times. It is suitable for filming, so I recommend it to him.
So Zhang Yimou went to Shandong to find Mo Yan. In less than ten minutes, he obtained the adaptation rights of "Red Sorghum" and asked Mo Yan to write the screenplay for the film. At this time, Mo Yan was only a writer . The script of
is available, Zhang Yimou hired Gu Changwei as a photographer, but the heroine has no eyes yet.
In the novel, the heroine Jiuer is a sexy artistic image of "big breasts and fat buttocks".
Shi Ke was dressed in a foreign style in the Chinese opera, and always took the sexy route, which was very in line with Jiu'er's image. Zhang Yimou basically decided that she would play Jiu'er.
And after the news spread, Gong Li became anxious, asked someone to find a relationship, and found Zhang Yimou in private.
Finally, 20-year-old Gong Li began to transform into a beautiful dress and audition.
looked at the beautiful Gong Li, Zhang Yimou hesitated. He asked Gu Changwei, "Gu, what is your opinion?"
Gu Changwei said, "Gong Li is a little more flavorful." Shi Ke was very angry when he heard the news. The two classmates who had a good relationship with each other became strangers from then on.
Gong Li cherished this opportunity very much. She did her homework before she acted, and she performed very well during the filming.
Finally, with this film, Gong Li won the Golden Bear Award at the Berlin International Film Festival, and Gong Li suddenly became famous.
Gong Li met Zhang Yimou, both lucky and unfortunate. Fortunately for
, her career is flourishing like sesame , and she has become a superstar in the world's attention.
Unfortunately, she and Zhang Yimou fell in love for eight years, but could not get together. At the age of 53, she married a French musician.
has gains and losses, this is life.
Otherwise, why would so many people say: Gong Li and Zhang Yimou are quite a couple.
