Zhang Ailing has a saying, "Become famous as early as possible." Although Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi, two internationally renowned superstar actresses, are not child stars, their first film works went out of the country and shined at the Berlin International Film Festival. .
Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi are both internationally renowned Chinese actresses. Their debut films are directed by the great director Zhang Yimou, and their works have also won important awards at the Berlin International Film Festival. "Red Sorghum" is Gong Li's big screen debut, and also the debut of Zhang Yimou's director. Before Zhang Yimou became a director, his main job was filming. He also won the Tokyo International Film Festival for his movie "Old Well". It can be said that Zhang Yimou can both shoot and act. When directing a movie, he knows how to shoot and how to make actors achieve their own satisfactory performance.
In 1987, the 22-year-old Gong Li was taken by the deputy director Yang Fengliang as the heroine Jiuer of Zhang Yimou's directorial debut "Red Sorghum". Gong Li showed extraordinary acting skills when she starred in a movie for the first time. Her 22-year-old green face can evoke a man's feeling of love with a smile.
Gong Li in "Red Sorghum" is not the appearance to conquer the audience, she played Jiuer after the death of her 50-year-old husband Li Datou alone propped up the shochu workshop, showing the domineering family, "Gong Huang "The name is not for nothing. In the face of the Japanese Jiuer, he also showed a spirit of jealousy and fear of sacrifice.
A film that can win international awards is of course important for the actor's performance, but the shooting method is also a top priority. Director Zhang Yimou used to be a photographer, and he knows how to shoot a film with a different feeling. Zhang Yimou mainly used red as the main color in "Red Sorghum", red sorghum, red sorghum wine, red stove, Jiu'er was also red all over his body when he was married. Red is the most auspicious color for Chinese people. This color best reflects the positive mental state of Chinese people. In character creation, Zhang Yimou mainly embodies their free spirit, daring to do, daring to love, and daring to hate.
"Red Sorghum" is as bold as "Bacchus" sing, it is a movie, but also an art. The film won the Golden Bear, the highest award at the Berlin International Film Festival in 1988, and was the first film in Asia to win this award. The first film "My Father and Mother" starring Zhang Ziyi was also directed by Zhang Yimou. This film won the Silver Bear Award at the Berlin International Film Festival.
Strictly speaking, "My Father and Mother" is not Zhang Ziyi's film and television debut. Before that, she had starred in "Stars and Lights" directed by Sun Wenxue. "My Father and Mother" is Zhang Ziyi's real acting ability. "My Father and Mother" is the same as "Red Sorghum" in which the whole storyline is caused by "I". "Red Sorghum" is the grandson recalling grandparents as "I", and "My Father and Mother" is the son "I" has to remember the love of father and mother.
Sincere and simple love, everyone is longing for this kind of beautiful emotion Zhang Yimou uses different colors to express, "I" is expressed in color in memory, but in black and white in reality. This combination is Zhang Yimou's bold attempt. This attempt proved his success.
"My Father and Mother" shows the beauty of nature, golden sunlight and golden leaves. To say that the red of "Red Sorghum" shows passion and boldness, the yellow of "My Father and Mother" shows a kind of warmth, the warmth of beautiful love.
Zhang Yimou has no criticism or reflection in this movie. What he wants to show is beauty and true feelings, which makes young youths so yearning. When she starred in "My Father and Mother", Zhang Ziyi was only nineteen years old, but she still performed well the heroine Zhaodi's steadfastness for love. With this film, she won the Best Actress Award at the 23rd Hundred Flowers Awards in China.
