Jiang Wen has always wanted to cooperate with his brother Jiang Wu, but he has no chance. Finally one day, someone came to him with the script and asked him to cooperate with Jiang Wu; but when Jiang Wen saw the script, he was so angry that he almost cursed...
It turned out that according to the investors' ideas, he hoped that Jiang Wen and Jiang Wu Playing a father and son, he even said generously: "Who plays the father, you decide for yourself."
Jiang Wen suppressed the curse words in his heart and responded: "Isn't this nonsense? What's wrong with you?"
Jiang Wen, whose original name is Jiang Xiaojun, graduated from the Central Academy of Drama, is a national first-class actor and director. His representative works include "Furong Town", "Spring Peach", "Beijingers in New York", etc., and directed films such as "Sunny Days", "Let the Bullets Fly", "Evil" "Don't Overwhelm the Right" and so on, belong to the type of director who "value the essence but not the quantity".
Jiang Wu, 4 years younger than Jiang Wen, was originally named Jiang Xiaobing. applied for Chinese drama twice but failed. Later, he was admitted to the Beijing Film Academy. He is a director and actor. His representative works include "The Bath", "The Empty Mirror" and "Farewell Vancouver". ""My Aunt Duohe", "Destined", etc.
The two brothers grew up in a military family. The reason why they later changed their names was because their grandfather wanted 's naughty brother to be "Wen Yidian" and his timid brother "Wu Yidian".
The entertainment industry describes their brothers this way: Jiang Wen is not literary, Jiang Wu is not martial.
Director Zheng Xiaolong commented on them: Jiang Wu looks simple and honest, but is wild at heart, persistent and focused. Compared with his elder brother Jiang Wen, Jiang Wu is more down-to-earth, Jiang Wen is more powerful, and both brothers are more spiritual.
When Jiang Wu was in junior high school, the teacher assigned a topic composition "Who is the person he admires most?" . Other students all wrote about great people, heroes, scientists, and policemen. Only Jiang Wu wrote about his brother:
"The person I admire most is my brother. He has been smart and sensible since he was a child, filial to his parents, and has good academic performance. In my eyes , he is talented, frank, sincere, lively and bold. He will always be a mirror and an example for me on the way forward..."
In terms of fame, Jiang Wu may not be as good as his brother Jiang Wen; but in terms of acting skills, the two brothers are not as good as each other. Up and down.
In terms of love history, when Jiang Wen was filming "Furong Town", he had an affair with Liu Xiaoqing, who was 8 years older than him; later he married a French girl, Sandrine Chenevey, and divorced because of the separation; in 2005, Jiang Wen and Zhou Yun, who is 15 years younger than herself, got married.
Jiang Wu is precocious and dedicated when it comes to relationships. When he was in the first year of high school, he fell in love with his first girlfriend Song Yan at first sight, and later successfully entered into marriage. It has been 30 years now; if the time of dating is included, the two have been together for almost 40 years.
In fact, Jiang Wen briefly collaborated with his younger brother Jiang Wu in his own movie "Let the Bullets Fly", in which Jiang Wu played a martial arts instructor.
Perhaps in Jiang Wen's mind: He and his brother are both male protagonists, which is a true collaboration.
personal opinion:
Jiang Wen is more talented than his younger brother Jiang Wu in directing movies and writing scripts; but in terms of the breadth of his acting career, Jiang Wu is even better.
Even if he plays a small character, Jiang Wu can also perform "one person with thousands of faces", such as "Hai Dahai" who goes from being bullied to rising up to fight in "Destiny"; "Big Brother" who is rough on the surface but soft on the inside in the movie "My Brothers and Sisters" "; "Liu Erming", the young son with low IQ in the movie "Bathing", each one is impressive and has a completely different look and feel.
