Although producer Ma Ke spared no effort to promote it, saying that "Going Home for the New Year" was the first film to feature a flower grower in a mainland prison. However, a large promotional billboard for the film "No One Less" directed by Zhang Yimou was erected directly opposite the Festival Palace. The goal is obvious, and the screening time was assigned by the organizing committee to the word-of-mouth venue on the 6th and the premiere venue on the 7th, both of which are competitions. prime time movie. Director Zhang Yimou was obviously treated with courtesy by the conference, which was not comparable to that of the crew of "Going Home for the New Year".
Yuan Qiaoqiao was speechless about the movie promotion slogan drawn up by Mark. What is the first film in which a flower grower appears in a mainland prison? Yes, all aspects of flower gardening have always been mysterious to Westerners, so using prison as a "topic" to attract people's attention is not a bad idea. But the movie "Going Home for the New Year" shows the story that a female prison police officer learned while sending a female prisoner home for the New Year, and the process of emotional changes that touched the two people. The women's prison is just a prop here.
As the female prisoner in it, she knew exactly what the director filmed in prison. Although she has not seen the finished movie, based on the script, she can probably deduce that it would be good if the scenes in the prison lasted for three to five minutes. Therefore, Ma Ke used "prison" as a gimmick to promote this movie, which is really suspected of deceiving people, and this slogan has little to do with the essence of the movie. It is true that his slogan will attract some viewers who are curious about flower growers, but at the same time, it will also lose some people who love movies. It is hard to say what the gains and losses are in this issue.

Sitting in the screening hall, Zhang Yuan looked at the occupancy rate of nearly 70% and said with a smile: "It's much better than I expected. Originally, I thought it would be good if the screening hall was half full."
One of the people from the Xi'an Film Factory, which has always had little presence, interjected: "Director Zhang Yimou is far behind. When Director Zhang's film was shown, the screening hall was larger than ours, with many more seats, but it was They¡¯re all full.¡±
As two crews who both come from flower-growing families, although the films of Zhang Yimou and Zhang Yuan are in a competitive relationship, the relationship between the two crews is not as "at war with each other" as outsiders think, but it is not close to each other. , but in a very subtle relationship.
Although Zhang Yuan has won some moderate awards internationally, his achievements and popularity are nothing in front of the internationally renowned director Zhang Yimou. The two of them, one is the leader of the fifth generation of directors, and the other is the sixth generation of directors, the relationship is purely a senior and a junior. Moreover, Zhang Yimou has always been a member of the system. The films he shot have repeatedly won international awards, been screened domestically, and enjoyed applause and flowers. However, Zhang Yuan has always made "underground films", regardless of whether his previous films were in No matter what kind of honors he has received abroad, they are not allowed to be released in China. "Going Home for the New Year" is his first film that floated from "underwater" to "ashore".
No director wants to see his or her film being sold out after filming. As a Chinese, it would be a joke to say that the movies he made are not for Chinese people. Compared with his peers who still insist on making "underground movies", Zhang Yuan is already seeking to get closer to the system, so he made this movie "Going Home for the New Year". He is not stupid and will not offend Zhang Yimou because of a movie. This senior has considerable influence in the domestic film industry.
Even if Zhang Yuan himself doesn¡¯t know what¡¯s interesting, don¡¯t forget that when the crew went to Venice this time, there were two people from the system following them. Even if others on the cast would distance themselves from the "No One Less" crew, they won't. What's more, this is a foreign country. Even if there is any unpleasantness between the two parties, they will choose to "fold their arms into their sleeves" and will not let foreigners laugh. So when "No One Less" directed by Zhang Yimou was screened, all the members of the crew of "Going Home for the New Year" went over to support it. Hence the words of this person from Xi'an Studio.
Although Zhang Yuan has always said modestly that he cannot be compared with great directors like Zhang Yimou, "a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier." It is unbelievable to say that he has no thoughts about Yuan Qiaoqiao in his heart. Sure enough, as soon as the man finished speaking, she saw Zhang Yuan's face suddenly darkened, and an angry look flashed in his eyes.
Just when Zhang Yuan was about to speak, several foreigners suddenly walked into the hall and sat down in the middle of the front row. When he and Marco saw these people, they couldn't care about anything at the moment. They just said, "The film producer is here. I went over to greet them. You can sit down wherever you want." and ran over.
Yuan Qiaoqiao casually found a seat and sat down. After a while, the lights in the screening room dimmed, the screen lit up, and the movie started. After the film was shot, although she was in contact with the director and knew that the film had been produced, she had not seen the finished film. When filming, the filming was done in a jumping manner, without logic, and the plots of the two scenes continued one after another.It's normal, and it's two different things from the final film that was cut out according to the director's wishes. And this was her first time watching something she acted in, so she, like the audience, had great expectations for the film. She sat in her seat and watched it seriously.

She looked at herself on the screen. She was talking and laughing with her classmates when they separated just now. But as soon as she opened the door, the smile suddenly disappeared from her face. Faced with her parents' scolding and her step-sister's implicit words, she was filled with laughter. The mood became depressed. Although she couldn't get into college like her stepsister with excellent grades, she and her stepsisters had the same idea, they both wanted to escape from this reorganized family where each parent had a child.
My step-sister stole five yuan from her father, but in the end she was framed for the incident. Faced with her mother's scolding and her father's untrue words of "forgiveness", I caught up with my step-sister who was going to school with her schoolbag on her back. He asked her to prove her innocence, but under the contemptuous and disdainful eyes and words of her step-sister, she suddenly picked up a stick on the roadside and beat her step-sister. He just wanted to hit his stepsister to vent his anger, but he didn't expect that the stick fell on her head and killed her by mistake.
The scene was frozen in his eyes when he saw his step-sister falling down with blood on her head and she was confused, but also had complex emotions such as surprise and panic. This is a frontal close-up of Gu Yangyang. The camera is very close, so close that people watching the movie seem to be looking directly into her eyes.
This look made the audience excited. Listening to the comments from the audience nearby, Yuan Qiaoqiao suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of accomplishment in her heart.
The role of Tao Lan on the screen was performed by myself. It was me who turned her character on paper into a living character with flesh and blood, joy, anger, sorrow and joy on the screen. To her, Tao Lan was no longer a mere screen image, not a fictional non-existent person, but a living being who was endowed with flesh, soul and life by herself and was closely connected to her.
Watching Tao Lan on the screen after seventeen years of prison life, and hearing that he could go home to reunite with his relatives this year, he was different from other people's joy. After a short period of joy, he thought that he was killing his father's biological daughter. After that, even if you go home, how can you be welcomed by your relatives like everyone else? When he thought of this, his eyes became very disappointed, dull and dull, but there was a faint spark of hope hidden inside.
¡¡
Watching Tao Lan¡¯s life experience and destiny in the film arouse the emotions of the audience, Yuan Qiaoqiao felt her heart pounding and her blood boiling. She suddenly felt that her life had a brighter color and became more vivid because of it.
In the beginning, Yuan Qiaoqiao started filming because of the instability of her soul, in order to survive, and also because she had just arrived in this world and was afraid that her relatives would spot her and discover the difference between her and her original self, so she took this opportunity to stay away from her relatives. Therefore, although her talent and understanding in acting have always been praised, and she has honestly studied acting under the guidance of Grandpa Huang and the teachings of the school, deep down in her heart she has always held an indispensable belief in it. manner.
Presumably the old artists who taught her must have seen this, so they scolded her for not taking it seriously. Perhaps her acting instructor Huang Zongluo also saw this, so he repeatedly told her that acting is a profession that requires love, otherwise no matter how superb your acting skills are, you will not be able to go far on this road. But at that time, she only regarded this sentence as an ordinary teaching from an old man and did not take it to heart. But now that she thinks about it, this sentence is quite intriguing and has far-reaching meaning. It's a pity that she listened but didn't understand at that time.
But the past is the past. From today, no, from this moment on, Yuan Qiaoqiao will change. She already understands the profession of actor from another aspect. This is a profession that interprets various lives through various characters, and experiences the ups and downs, joys and sorrows of the characters in different worlds, and then expands and extends one's own life. When you show these lives to others through screen images, your own life becomes extremely exciting and fulfilling.
Since then, acting has become not only the meaning of Yuan Qiaoqiao¡¯s survival, but also the meaning of her life. For her, whether she will win a prize during this trip to Venice has become less important. Her gains are far beyond what a trophy can compare to. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
