Twenty years ago, Zhang Yimou said to Zhang Ziyi: Don't take plays in disorder, and don't shoot TV dramas to make money.

There has always been a "discrimination chain" in the entertainment circle, and this phenomenon is also caused by some inequalities in the circle. Generally speaking, the old opera bones look down on the first-line stars, the first-line stars look down on the flow niche, and the flow niche looks down on those old opera bones and the so-called first-line stars, thus creating an endless cycle.

In addition, this phenomenon also exists in the film and television circle. In this circle, they are divided into more details: those who make movies look down on those who make TV dramas, those who play TV dramas look down on variety shows, and those who do variety shows look down on those who make TV dramas.

So many star actors will be curious about other fields after staying in one field for too long, such as Zhang Ziyi, who is a filmmaker.

Zhang Ziyi was born in an ordinary worker's family in Beijing in 1979. Because of her small income, her teacher advised her to learn dancing, which made her deeply like dancing and determined to be a famous dancer. Therefore, Zhang Ziyi suffered a lot in dancing as a child, which laid the foundation for her future acting career.

In 199, at the age of 11, Zhang Ziyi began to study folk dance, which lasted for six years. During this period, she also won many dance awards. I have to say that practicing dance since childhood made Zhang Ziyi look very temperament.

Compared with those professional actors who struggled for many years to become famous, Zhang Ziyi was lucky. In 1998, Zhang Ziyi was only 19 years old when she was still in school. At this time, director Zhang Yimou came to the Central Academy of Drama to choose an actress for her film My Father and Mother. Coincidentally, Zhang Ziyi was chosen. According to Zhang Yimou's words, "She is very suitable, and it is also a challenge to use her."

Zhang Ziyi didn't disappoint Zhang Yimou, and successfully portrayed the heroine Zhao Di in the film. With this film, Zhang Ziyi won the Silver Bear Award and Hundred Flowers Award, and Zhang Ziyi didn't graduate at that time. What's important is that she successfully became a "girl".

With Zhang Yimou's recommendation, Zhang Ziyi's debut was the peak, and her acting skills were also very good. She could successfully create different roles according to her roles, which enabled her to receive many high-quality resources very smoothly. It can be said that without Zhang Yimou, there would be no "international chapter" today.

In Zhang Yimou's eyes, Zhang Ziyi is not so perfect. After filming the first film My Father and Mother, Zhang Yimou saw through her future development direction and earnestly told her: "Don't take plays in disorder, let alone shoot TV series to make money!"

At that time, Zhang Ziyi admired and respected Zhang Yimou very much. As the saying goes, a teacher for a day is a father for life. So Zhang Ziyi remembered the teacher's words, which lasted for more than 2 years. The key point was that Zhang Yimou's words really benefited her all her life. With so many years of acting and works, Zhang Ziyi was a "household name" in the film industry, even a minor celebrity abroad, and even one of the winners of the "three golds" winner. Only three actresses in the entertainment industry made such an achievement.

I may have stayed in the entertainment industry for too long and wanted to try a different field, but my teacher Zhang Yimou told me that I couldn't make TV series, so Zhang Ziyi's first transformation was towards variety.

As I said before, those who make variety shows look down on those who play TV dramas, so Zhang Ziyi was questioned and ridiculed by many netizens and peers when he first stepped onto the stage of variety shows.

In 213, Zhang Ziyi was the first cross-border tutor for a talent show, and her mentors were very professional, such as Tayu Lo, Eason Chan and Na Ying. At that time, Na Ying laughed at Zhang Ziyi frankly, saying, "Interlacing is like a mountain, and Zhang Ziyi can't win the championship. I don't know why I asked her, but it may have a certain role in modeling."

At that time, Zhang Ziyi knew nothing about music, and her glory was limited to making movies. Therefore, in the face of Na Ying's questioning and ridicule, Zhang Ziyi replied very politely: "It is a good thing to doubt me. Music is not only understood by professionals, but also good music that touched me."

Maybe it was just to prove himself. At that time, when Zhang Ziyi was a tutor for the first time, he invited many good friends from music to help him out. In the end, the players in the Zhang Ziyi team won the championship. This result was a slap in the face for Na Ying's words at that time.

After that, Zhang Ziyi became popular in variety shows after World War I, and she appeared in many variety shows, such as "I am an Actor 3" before. Her sharp evaluation and attitude in the show were praised and criticized by many netizens.

She once said in the program: "Don't take inappropriate roles", "Don't take bad plays", "Don't act without talent" and so on.

Moreover, Hao Lei's remarks in the program are also very much in favor of Zhang Ziyi. She said, "You are in your forties to play a young girl. What do you want a young girl to play? What kind of play is the wisest choice at what age. "

Just as Zhang Ziyi talked about judging others in Kan Kan's program, she finally began to try to break through Zhang Yimou's advice after more than 2 years, while Hao Lei's words in the program became popular and Zhang Yimou's advice was confirmed.

She became famous in movies and broke through variety shows, but Zhang Ziyi's belief of not making TV series for more than 2 years finally wavered. Finally, she could not resist the temptation and devoted herself to TV series.

On January 9th, Zhang Ziyi's first TV series "Shang Yang Fu" was officially launched, and netizens were also looking forward to the breakthrough works after the film, but they were very helpless. As soon as the drama was launched, it got all kinds of complaints from netizens.

To be honest, Zhang Ziyi's acting skills are fine, but she played a teenage girl from the beginning, which made many netizens unacceptable. After all, Zhang Ziyi is 42 years old, and this span is unacceptable.

In fact, it is not the first person that Zhang Ziyi's performance as a girl has been scolded by netizens. Zhou Xun and Carina Lau have suffered from this before. Didn't Zhang Ziyi pay attention to this problem before? Later, netizens questioned Zhang Ziyi with what she said before and Hao Lei's words, saying, "Why do you want to take a bad play?" "Are you short of money?" , "Play a girl in her forties, let others play what little girls do" and so on. Although Zhang Ziyi has responded to these questions, the audience simply don't care.

In fact, Zhang Ziyi's transformation TV series is the same as her previous variety show. She has also made great efforts. In order to get the audience's approval for her first TV series, she invited many famous post-professionals.

For example, the general director Hou Yong, photography director Philip Le Su, Du Jie and Gao Hu, music director Mo Yanlin, art director Han Zhong, action director Zhao Jian, lighting director Zou Yinglun and so on. Not everyone can win such a strong production team, except Zhang Ziyi, there may not be a second person. It is conceivable that Zhang Ziyi also wants to break Zhang Yimou's advice and prove himself.

But she probably didn't understand what Zhang Yimou said. According to the acting skills, Zhang Ziyi is absolutely fine, and all the actors are well coordinated. But the core of a TV series is the plot and script. Without a good plot, even the best actors will be spit out.

Since the beginning of Shang Yang Fu, the audience praised the scenes, which were well-made, but it was not only Zhang Ziyi who played the girl, but also that the plot was too bad and outdated, which easily made people feel tired. The choice of the script directly affected the actors' acting skills, so this was the focus of netizens' voicing and the reason why Zhang Yimou told her.

Fortunately, the production team invited by Zhang Ziyi is powerful, which can attract a group of audiences. If there is no excellent production, the drama will definitely be a "bad drama".
