After Zhang Yimou took Gong Li to the hotel for a audition, she changed Scofield to the hostess. What happened?

Red Sorghum, as Zhang Yimou's screen debut, made him successfully squeeze into the director circle in China and was well known by everyone. However, the achievement of Red Sorghum is not only Zhang Yimou, but also Gong Li and actress Jiu-Er.

Zhang Yimou's film Red Sorghum has become a classic, but there are still some unsolved mysteries inside and outside the play, among which the most concerned and hotly debated is the inside story of the heroine's role change. ?

It is reported that the role of "Jiu-Er" in "Red Sorghum" was originally given to Shi Ke, who was called the five golden flowers in Gong Li's school, and was later replaced by Gong Li. This movie also changed the lives of Shi Ke and Gong Li. Shi Ke, who missed the opportunity, remained tepid, and Gong Li, who starred in Jiu-Er, became an international superstar.

1987, Zhang Yimou used 800 yuan to win the copyright of Red Sorghum from Mo Yan, and asked Mo Yan to be the original screenwriter. The assistant director invited Fengliang Yang and the photographer invited Gu Changwei. Now this behind-the-scenes team looks great.

Zhang Yimou, the hero of Red Sorghum, soon decided to play Jiang Wen. Because Jiang Wen's image fits perfectly, he didn't hesitate, but Zhang Yimou was very hesitant in the process of choosing the heroine.

The heroine "Jiu-Er" in the movie has a beautiful appearance, a sexy figure and a wild personality. She dares to fight, refuses to accept her fate, and is willing to accept some unreasonable ideas. Such a woman needs an actress with unique temperament and charm to play.

At that time, it was widely rumored that there were five golden flowers in the 85th Chinese Opera, namely Shi Ke, Wu, Chen Yi and Gong Li. Among the five golden flowers, Shi Ke and Wu are the most famous, while Gong Li is the least impressive.

At the beginning, the best candidate for Jiu-Er in Zhang Yimou was Gong Li's classmate Smith, who was already a minor celebrity. For this actress, everyone must have seen a lot of her works. In Zhang Yimou's view, Shi Ke's image is very consistent with Mo Yan's, with big breasts and fat buttocks.

Gong Li replaced Shi Ke because when Zhang Yimou decided to let Shi Ke be the heroine, Gong Li was also interested in the role. So Gong Li finally found Zhang Yimou through contacts, and Zhang Yimou felt that Gong Li had fine features after seeing her for the first time, but this has nothing to do with the image of Jiu-Er in her works. However, Zhang Yimou accepted Gong Li's request and invited Gong Li to the hotel for an audition.

After arriving at the hotel to start the audition, Gong Li was also asked to change into the clothes that Scott auditioned at that time. Under the lens, Zhang Yimou looked at the beautiful Gong Li, but his heart began to hesitate.

Because in contrast, Shi Ke is the most suitable candidate for the heroine image. While hesitating, Gu Changwei, then a photographer, said that Gong Li was more tasteful.

In this way, Zhang Yimou successfully replaced Shi Ke and became the heroine with Gong Li after the audition in the hotel.

But that doesn't mean that Shi has no taste. When I was young, history was wild and stylish, not popular at all, and highly recognizable. Thick lips also add a lot of sexiness, and a face is full of stories, but I met the same excellent Gong Li!

Facts have proved that this decision is correct. Gong Li is really tasty. Even when she was young, there was a amorous feeling in her bones.

"Red Sorghum" happened to meet the Berlin Film Festival before it was broadcast. Originally, China Film's entry was Chen Kaige's king of the children, but Chen Kaige paid more attention to Cannes Film Festival and gave up the opportunity to attend Berlin Film Festival. It is precisely because of this that red sorghum has qualified for the competition. When the sample of Red Sorghum was copied to Berlin Film Festival, it won the Golden Bear Award. It is precisely because of winning the Golden Bear Award that the works that were originally released for only a few cents, when they were actually released, the ticket price reached five or six.

1987, "Red Sorghum" won more than 40 million box office as soon as it was released. With this work, Zhang Yimou won many awards in the industry.

At that time, the film also won the Golden Bear Award in Berlin, which opened the way for Gong Li to enter the international film industry. Shi Ke finally missed the movie that went down in the history books of China.

Today, Shi Ke has been married 16 years. Her husband is a wealthy overseas businessman with a lot of money. They have two mixed-race children after marriage and have grown up now. Now, as a rich woman, Shi Ke still occasionally appears on the screen, but more time is spent enjoying life and being a winner in life.
