Speaking of the movie "Farewell My Concubine", I believe that until now, many people regard it as a classic that cannot be surpassed. This movie has made Chen Kaige and Leslie Cheung’s image on the screen more people. Recognized. But when it comes to this movie, it was able to be filmed, and there is still an episode.
The first to see this novel was actually Leslie Cheung. Once, Leslie Cheung chatted with his friends in the circle and mentioned that he liked the novel very much. He also said that if a director is willing to make this novel into a movie, he is willing to invest Half the budget. This sentence was remembered by the Hong Kong female producer Xu Feng present.
After reading the original novel of "Farewell My Concubine", Xu Feng was also attracted by the storyline and characterization, so she decided to invest in someone to prepare the film. And I also found a few actors in my mind.
At that time, Chen Kaige was not a big director. He just made a film of "King of the Child" and was nominated at the Cannes Film Festival, so he was slightly famous and definitely not a first-line director. But Xu Feng is very optimistic about Chen Kaige. Take the initiative to find Chen Kaige to talk about the shooting of "Farewell My Concubine".
At the beginning, Chen Kaige was not impressed by the novel. He felt that adapting such a novel did not fit his shooting style, and the actress recommended by Xu Feng was Gong Li. Everyone knows that Gong Li was still a girl at the time, so Chen Kaige used this Xu Feng was rejected for two reasons. After that, Xu Feng insisted and persuaded Chen Kaige many times, and finally Chen Kaige agreed to shoot this movie. Only then has such a classic "Farewell My Concubine".
Xu Feng, who dropped out of school early to work, impressed Hu Jinquan with her mature image beyond her peers and directly pulled her into the crew. Although Xu Feng did not have many roles in "Longmen Inn", she was 15 because of Hu Jinquan's high evaluation of her, and many people in the circle remembered her. After
"The Dragon Inn", Xu Feng starred in another movie by Hu Jinquan, "Xia Nv". This film made Xu Feng famous in the circle. You must know that at that time, the martial arts movies were all male protagonists. The actress is the protagonist, and Xu Feng dares to fight and fight in Xia Nv, and was injured many times during filming. The appearance of "Desperate Sanniang" has been recognized by many directors in the circle. "The Chivalrous Woman" also won many awards at the 28th Cannes Film Festival. Even later, in the classic Hong Kong martial arts film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", many of Michelle Yeoh and Zhang Ziyi's scenes were based on the plots in "Xia Nv". In the years after
, Xu Feng has filmed a number of movies, which can be said to be the most prolific actress of that era. With the two movies of "Assassin" and "Source", he won the title of Queen of the Golden Horse twice. As an actor, Xu Feng was successful, but in his romantic life, Xu Feng encountered twists and turns. Xu Feng and her ex-husband came together by the order of their parents, which was very common at the time, so although Xu Feng did not love her ex-husband, he did not violate the parents' ideas. After
got married with her ex-husband, her ex-husband wanted to follow Xu Feng’s fame at the time and entered the mall, so he borrowed money to do business, but he was not that piece of material, so he quickly lost money and paid it back. He owed a huge debt to his ass, and then left Xu Feng directly and disappeared. Paying off debts for her husband is also one of the reasons why Xu Feng is so desperate in filming.
The creditor saw her desperately filming. Many creditors felt sorry for such a young woman. They didn't take the initiative to urge her, but she never defaulted. Also in the process of repaying the debt, she met Tang Junnian, the most important person in her life. He is now the boss of Tomson Yipin Real Estate.
However, Tang Junnian did not want to be as strong as he is now, but his business has just picked up and he has not even set foot in the real estate field. Because he appreciates Xu Feng's kindness, he is gradually attracted by Xu Feng. Often go to Xu Feng's studio to explore the class. The two slowly fell in love. In 1980, Xu Feng and Tang Junnian married. After the two got married, in order to take care of the family, Xu Feng slowly began not to accept new dramas, and began to develop in the direction of the producer, so there was the story about "Farewell My Concubine" mentioned above.
It is worth mentioning that in the process of Tomson Real Estate's fortune that year, there were also many bottlenecks. To overcome these difficulties, Xu Feng also played a very important role. Especially after Tang Jun was overworked and became ill later, after his death, Xu Feng was even more supportive of the banner of Tomson First Grade and became the development of Tomson First Grade.Reassured. Now, people in the industry talk about Xu Feng and respect her very much. This is what she has earned through her own efforts over the years.
