Diao Xiu of Yi 'nan sprinted for the grand prize with a party at the South Railway Station, Gong Li and her new husband Yael sprinkled dog food in Cannes, and Zhang Ziyi appeared there with Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
In a blink of an eye, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon has been released for 20 years.
In these 20 years, Zhang Ziyi has also changed from a 20-year-old girl to the wife of half the Chinese music scene.
Ang Lee won two Oscars in 20 years and became the most popular China director overseas.
The martial arts film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, which was badly criticized by mainland media, became a classic.
At that time, the film was shown in the mainland, and some people thought that fighting was ugly, like dancing. Some people think that the plot is not good and the story is illogical. It has also been pointed out that this drama is too literary, which is not in harmony with the tone of martial arts films.
Some famous directors also expressed their dissatisfaction.
Jing Wong thinks that Zhang Ziyi's English pronunciation is poor.
Jiang Wen said that it was 20 years ago, and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is not new.
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, which has the Oscar's best protector, finally gained time and made a brilliant comeback on the big screen in Cannes.
Zhang Ziyi, the heroine of the film, also received a blessing from Ang Lee.
Of course, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon also made Zhang Ziyi, which is an important step for her to become an international golden body.
Works and actors always complement each other.
In casting, Ang Lee invited Jet Li to play Li Mubai, but in order to take care of pregnant Nina Li Chi, he refused.
Later, the role was given to Chow Yun Fat.
No one denies that Zhang Ziyi is the best choice for Yujiaolong.
Yu Jiaolong's competitive spirit is very compatible with Zhang Ziyi. The same is true of her most representative film "The Grandmaster".
It is Zhang Ziyi's strong competitive spirit of self-expression. Because he met Ang Lee, he finally achieved the classic Jade Jiaolong.
Zhang Ziyi can try to play a female role. Unlike Yang Ziqiong, she has no martial arts skills, but dancing skills.
With excellent dancing skills, Zhang Ziyi starred in the works of such great directors as Hero, House of Flying Daggers, Master Generation, etc.
If you only play well, the role can be tangible without god.
In "House of Flying Daggers", Zhang Ziyi's long-sleeved drumming is beautiful, but it is not as amazing as the bamboo forest in Zhang Ziyi in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".
What is the difference?
Is whether the character has a soul.
Yu Jiaolong in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is a character with a soul.
Let's briefly analyze the character setting of Yu Jiaolong.
Wang Fu's daughter came to Beijing from Xinjiang to be a wife for the son of the second generation of bureaucrats.
However, on the way, she fell in love with the bohemian Jiang Yang thief Luo Xiaohu.
After arriving in Beijing, Yu Jiaolong also fidgeted and started the idea of Qingming Sword.
She has a dream of rivers and lakes.
If a well-behaved maid-in-waiting is Yu Jiaolong's social personality, the dream of a free and unrestrained chivalrous man is a repressed self.
Ang Lee used a lot of details to shape the role of Yu Jiaolong. If you don't know these details, it's easy to think that Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is a boring martial arts film.
Let's see, Yu Xiulian is coming to Beijing to meet Baylor. This film shows a panoramic view of Beijing.
The horizontal, vertical and square Beijing symbolizes that it is a highly standardized city of rites and music.
Yu Jiaolong, who is free and unrestrained by nature, lives in this city.
Depression, depression, is the biggest feeling of Yu Jiaolong in Beijing.
When she heard the news of the Green Ghost Sword, her heart began to stir.
She got this sword to help her walk in the Jianghu.
In the process of stealing the sword, Yu Jiaolong also had a fight with Yu Xiulian.
The fighting styles of the two men are also different, representing different personalities.
Yu Xiulian's moves are vigorous and simple, symbolizing her calm character.
Yu Jiaolong's elegant and agile fighting shows that she loves freedom.
In fact, the characters of two people have been hinted from the moment they appeared.
Yu Xiulian first appeared in front of couplets, and the font "Rite and Music" at the back was regular script.
The use of regular script in rites and music shows that Yu Xiulian is deeply influenced by Confucian culture, knowledgeable and good at forbearance.
She likes Li Mubai silently, but dare not step out.
So Li Mubai's Chun Qing rippled, suggesting that Yu Xiulian eloped together, but she didn't act.
Yu Jiaolong also stood in front of the couplet when he appeared, and the font was cursive.
The running grass has obvious free breath.
Don't think this is a coincidence. Jade horned dragon shows calligraphy, which is just cursive.
Yu Xiulian and Yu Jiaolong are simply the products of two cultural genes.
Yu Xiulian is deeply influenced by Confucianism, so she always honors the memorial tablet of her late husband (just engaged) Meng.
She fell in love with Li Mubai, but not together.
Yu Jiaolong, on the other hand, prefers Taoism, letting nature take its course and wandering freely.
She could understand Li Mubai's mental pain, so she asked what Li Mubai had never said.
Do you want a sword or me?
The success of Yu Jiaolong lies in that her behavior is in the same strain as the spiritual world of the characters, which can make us feel the flesh and blood of the characters. This is Ang Lee's directing skill.
The creation of Yu Jiaolong also proves that Ang Lee is a great director, because he can conform to the trend and let the actors reach the optimal solution.
This is the luck of a good actor.
