Chapter 723 New Four Little Huadan and Four Big Students
In 2002, Southern Metropolis Daily conducted a selection. Four actresses born in the 1970s, Zhang Ziyi, Zhao Wei, Zhou Xun, and Xu Jinglei, were named the four young actresses as representatives of the new generation of actresses.
This is a very classic bundled marketing in the mainland entertainment industry, which is similar to the four kings of Xiangjiang. The greatness of this bundled marketing is that when a person gets exposure, the other three can benefit from it. Even if the other three of the four fail, as long as the remaining one is still very popular, the other three can also get a high exposure.
After the title of the Four Little Girls, Zhang Ziyi and the others developed relatively smoothly and gradually became the mainstay of the mainland entertainment industry. Even though Zhang Jingchu emerged and starred in many excellent works including "Flyer" and "Tangshan Earthquake", because Zhang Ziyi was ahead, Zhang Jingchu still did not replace them, but could only be ranked behind them, and was called "Si Dan Yichu".
Of course, the success of the four young actresses is not just hype. The key is that Zhang Ziyi and the others are extremely capable. Even the weakest among the four young actresses also have the hat of a talented woman. Her works directed and acted by herself have won international awards, and they cannot be easily replaced.
Now seven years have passed, and the four little actresses have completed the transformation from four little actresses to four big actresses in terms of acting skills and knowledge, and have become the backbone of the entertainment industry. At the same time, a group of young actors born in the 1980s, including Huang Shengyi and Liu Yifei, are also rapidly rising. The four little actresses, a recognized actor honor in the mainland, have come to a time to reshuffle.
So Tencent, together with the Rongcheng Evening News, Xiamen Daily and other hundreds of mainstream media, participated by millions of people and nearly 100 entertainment reporters, officially selected the new four young actresses: Huang Shengyi, Liu Yifei, Bai Ling, and Wang Luodan.
Among the newly selected young actresses, Huang Shengyi received the highest number of votes and was most popular among netizens. In fact, it is not surprising that Huang Shengyi received this number of votes. After becoming a hit in "Kung Fu", she starred in many popular films and TV series, especially the role of Ji Jiang in the science fiction drama "The Will of Heaven", which made her gain unprecedented popularity and became Chu Qiao among the new generation of actresses.
Liu Yifei is the fairy sister in the hearts of many people. She became famous all over the country with three TV series "The Legend of the Sword and Fairy", "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" and "The Return of the Condor Heroes". After that, she signed a contract with an American agency with a high profile and became Zhang Ziyi's junior sister. She starred in "Kung Fu King" and "The Legend of Chun Li" in Hollywood, and was the first person to enter Hollywood among the post-80s actresses. If "The Legend of Chun Li" released at the end of this year can be successful, she may gain a foothold in Hollywood and become an international superstar like Zhang Ziyi.
Bai Ling has few works. After becoming popular with "Three Fools", she starred in the romantic drama "Youth We Have Nowhere to Leave". In the drama, she played Zhou Meng, who is gentle and lonely and persistent in love, and won the hearts of countless audiences. Then, she played the role of Zixuan in "Legend of Sword and Fairy III", which also received great praise. Bai Ling's acting skills are particularly good. She has almost no trace of acting and has a feeling of being light. She is praised by many people as the best acting among the new generation of actresses.
As for Wang Luodan, she is the most popular among all. After graduating from Beijing Film Academy, she acted in many film and television works, but the quality of these works is not high, so she failed to leave any deep impression on people until she starred in "The Great Earthquake of Tangshan". In this drama, Wang Luodan's acting skills exploded, and even surpassed the heroine Zhang Jingchu. Next, Wang Luodan co-starred with Sun Honglei in the spy war drama "Louching" and played the guerrilla captain Cuiping. This role made her very popular and won the Huading Award for Best Actor for the drama.
However, after the list of the four young actresses was announced, it still caused some controversy, and some netizens even questioned it for fraud. The controversy and doubts mainly came from Shu Chang and Jiang Yan.
Shu Chang is popular in Asia because of her role as Xia Youcao, the heroine of "Meteor Shower", and has the popularity among teenagers that others have difficulty in taking opportunities. After the list of four young actresses was released, Shu Chang's fans couldn't sit still. My Shu Chang's popularity is so high that she is the most popular actress at the Golden Eagle Awards. Why is there no shady scenes in my Shu Chang? There are definitely shady scenes!
Jiang Yan is not very popular, but her work is very strong. After becoming famous with Gu Changwei's "Peacock", she starred in movies such as "The Bride of Flower Waist", "Seven Swords", and "Fragrant Journey". Among them, "Fragrant Journey" also won the Best Actress Award at the Cairo Film Festival. Jiang Yan was not selected as the fourth little actress, so her fans were naturally dissatisfied and shouted that the movie starring my family Crawler won the Silver Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival, and "Fragrant Journey" won the Best Actress at the Cairo Film Festival. She was the first A-level actress among the 1980s actresses. Crawler was not the four little actresses, which was ridiculous!
However, most viewers still agree with the selection results of the four young actresses. After all, the four girls have outstanding works, their own representative works, and they are also very popular.
The new four big and big students were also selected at the same time as the four little actresses, but there was no controversy over the selection results of the four big and big students. In the end, Jia Niaoliang, Hu Ge, Ji Chen, and Zhu Yuchen stood out and were selected as the four big and big students. Among them, Jia Nailiang took the lead with "Three Fools" and "Meteor Shower", becoming the first of the four big and big students; Hu Ge ranked second with "Legend of Sword and Fairy" and "Meteor Shower"; Ji Chen became famous for his role as Xu Changqing in "Tangshan Earthquake" and "Legend of Sword and Fairy III", and ranked third; and Zhu Yuchen gained good popularity with Zhao Baogang's TV series "Struggle" and "Who is My Youth" and became the last among the four big and big students.
After the list of the new four young actresses and the fourth students was released, a sharp-eyed audience soon discovered a shocking fact. Among the new four young actresses, Huang Shengyi, Bai Ling and Wang Luodan are both students of Zhang Ran, Liu Yifei is Zhang Ran's apprentice, and Jia Niaoliang and Ji Chen are also students of Zhang Ran, which means that most of these new young actresses and flowers were brought out by Zhang Ran.
"I didn't expect that Zhang Ran is not only good at making movies, but also good at raising students. Most of these young actors and flowers were brought out by him!"
"Yes, it's really amazing. It's just half of the domestic entertainment industry!"
"It's not just Huang Shengyi and the others, but also a few who didn't choose this time are also very popular. Zhang Xinyi, who played Du Xiaobin in "We Have Nowhere to Place Youth", is Zhang Ran's student, and Cao Bingkun. He is obviously very popular, but it's really strange that he didn't choose him this time when he evaluated the fourth student!"
"I think the most regrettable thing is that Zhang Zichen is very handsome. The sister-brother relationship with Xiao Taohong in "What to do not move affection" made me so girlish! "Love is a Bullet of Happiness" starring Zhang Xinyi is so handsome. He doesn't hate playing the villain silencer in "Three Fools". But in the past two years, he has not acted, but has gone to play dramas. I think it's a pity!"
"I also like him very much. I heard that "Meteor Shower" originally wanted to find him to play Ximen, but he gave up because he wanted to act in a drama. If he hadn't gone to act in a drama, he would definitely be one of the four students."
"Are these students from Zhang Ran's class? Damn, it's so awesome!"
"These are students of Level 201 led by Zhang Ran. Level 205 will soon graduate again. This group of students will definitely become popular. Yang Mi has become popular after she has performed "Legend of Sword and Fairy III". She has been filming "Zhu Xian" recently and playing Bi Yao. After "Zhu Xian" is broadcast, she will definitely become popular. The drama "Zhu Xian" is played by students of Level 2005 led by Zhang Ran, and she will definitely become popular! It's really lucky to be a student of Zhang Ran!"
"Yes, not only will you have the opportunity to play Zhang Ran's plays, but Zhang Ran's company will definitely give priority to them when selecting actors. As long as you become Zhang Ran's student, you will not have to worry about having no plays to film, just like giving birth to students!"
"It's not just a matter of opportunity, Zhang Ran has very strict requirements on students, and the students he brought with him have very good acting skills. It makes sense that these students can become famous!"
"It's not the case. Liu Yifei is still his apprentice, so her acting skills are not very good!"
"Zhang Ran only took Liu Yifei for a few months, and the others took him for four years, so the effect must be different. However, Liu Yifei seems to be enlightened now, and Jin Yanzi in "Kung Fu King" is very good."
Zhang Ran was also very pleased after seeing the list of the new four young actresses and the four young students. He has always hoped to establish a system that allows new actors from the mainland to get more opportunities. He really did it. The students are gradually emerging and are becoming the mainstay of the Chinese film and television industry.
A few days later, the crew of "One Man Decorated Lights" opened the media to visit the set, and Zhang Ran and the main creators were interviewed on the set. After asking a series of questions about the movie, a reporter asked: "Director Zhang, you have more than half of the new four young actresses and four young students selected this time. What does it feel like to see this result?"
Zhang Ran smiled and said, "Like all teachers, I hope that the students will become talents. They can be selected to show that everyone recognizes them. I feel particularly relieved and happy, and feel that everything I have done is not in vain."
A reporter said: "Many netizens questioned the list of this selection, and some even thought that you had exerted influence. What do you think about this?"
Zhang Ran frowned. This guy is here to make trouble. He said calmly: "Many people may think that the title of the new fourth little actress is very powerful, which will improve the popularity of the four girls and will help their careers. But I think the effect is very small, because Zhang Ziyi and the others are still in their peak period and their careers are very stable. When it comes to the four little actresses, the audience still thinks of Zhang Ziyi and the others. In this case, is it worth fighting?"
A reporter said: "After this list comes out, have you been using the phone with them? Do you usually contact me?"
Zhang Ran said: "If you have something to do, you will contact me, for example, if they have a play to broadcast, they will call me. Teacher Zhang, I will be staged, see how I am acting. During the holidays, I will call me to tell you about my current situation, and talk about what I don't understand recently. But they know that I am busy recently, so they didn't contact me. Today, you are here to interview, and I happened to borrow everyone's pen to say a few words to them. Don't take this matter seriously. Remember, for actors, titles, magazine covers, and advertising endorsements are not that important. Works are the most important. Actors ultimately rely on their works to speak, so continue to work hard!"
A reporter asked: "A few days ago, I visited the crew of "The Founding of the Kingdom" and Mr. Han Shanping and Mr. Han said that you have nearly one-quarter of the scenes in "The Founding of the Kingdom". Now you are busy filming "One Man with Lights and Decoration", so when do you plan to film the scenes in "The Founding of the Kingdom"?"
Zhang Ran nodded. "The Founding of a Country" is a tribute film and will be released at the end of September. It has only been more than four months since now. It is impossible for this part of the filming of "One Person's Lights and Decoration" before going to film. Then he said: "In June, I will suspend the filming of "One Person's Lights and Decoration" and take the crew to go to the demon city to finish filming of "The Founding of a Country"!"
Chapter completed!
