Rebirth of Rural Literary Life

Chapter 484 How did everything change?
As the leading actress, Zhang Yu naturally knew that her performance was not satisfactory. Director Xie Jin's sighs on the set had already made her secretly sad.

But she didn't know what kind of storm she would face after the movie was released.

Colleagues read "Popular Cinema" with great interest, but put away the magazine in a panic as soon as they found themselves in the office, Zhang Yu was puzzled.

But within an hour, she learned about the movie reviews in the magazine.

This month's "Popular Movies" has only been out for two days, and the entire Shanghai Film Studio is already buzzing. How could Zhang Yu not know about it.

In 1980, Zhang Yu won the Best Actress Award at the 4th Popular Film Hundred Flowers Awards for playing the role of Zhou Yun in the film "Love on Lushan Mountain". Together with Guo Kaimin, they became a well-known screen couple in the 80s.

In the same year, she played Liu Wenying in the film "Bashan Night Rain" and won the Best Actress in the 1st Chinese Film Golden Rooster Awards. In 1981, she starred in the films "Friends" and "Small Street", making her the first actress in Chinese film history to win four championships in one year.

It can be said that Zhang Yu's acting career has been on the rise since the release of "Romance on Lushan Mountain" in 1980. In just a few years, he has reached a high point that many actresses can't reach in their lifetime, and has become the most well-known audience in Shanghai Film Studio. The movie star represents the face of Shanghai Film Studio.

When director Xie Jin was preparing to shoot "The Donkey Gets Water", he was a little hesitant about choosing Zhang Yu as the heroine.Don't look at how many awards she has won in the past two years, but that is just a sedan chair carried by everyone, at least for director Xie Jin, Zhang Yu's acting skills are not enough for him to decide to choose her as the heroine.

But Zhang Yu wanted to cooperate with Director Xie Jin. As a well-known director in China and a member of the Shanghai Film Studio, Zhang Yu felt that Director Xie Jin had no reason not to use him, so he asked Director Xu of the Shanghai Film Studio to intercede.

Director Xie Jin finally chose Zhang Yu to play the role of Zhang Yiman out of face, and he didn't regret it until the filming started.

Zhang Yu's acting skills can only be said to be quite satisfactory in her young life. Her popularity is largely due to the glory of her works.Although she had done her homework very hard before the filming started, when she really interpreted the role of Zhang Yiman, she realized that her ability was not enough to support this complex and vivid role.

Director Xie Jin wanted to replace Zhang Yu several times, but after all, he had the passion of Shanghai Film Studio. If Zhang Yu was replaced, it would be a devastating blow to her acting career after the news spread.

Acting in the film of your own film studio was actually replaced by your own director. What kind of poor acting skills or attitude is this?Who would dare to cooperate with Zhang Yu in the future?

Bite the bullet and finish filming "The Donkey Gets Water". Director Xie Jin is quite satisfied with the overall process of film creation. It should be said that he has broken through some of his previous constraints and shackles.

But when watching the film, seeing Zhang Yu's performance made him feel uncomfortable. Her interpretation is too inconsistent with the overall style. I am afraid that it will be criticized by the literary and art circles and audiences in the future. The film has been completed. Talking too much won't help.

Zhang Yu finished watching "Popular Movie" with a gloomy expression. The colleagues around her were secretly observing her performance, and no one dared to speak.

Just after winning four performance awards, his performance in the latest work was publicly criticized by authoritative media such as "Popular Movies". Everyone felt uncomfortable for Zhang Yu when they thought about it.

With so many colleagues around watching, Zhang Yu resisted the embarrassment and anger in her heart, got up and walked out of the office slowly. After she walked out of the office for two seconds, there was a burst of whispering in the office.

Zhang Yu is not in the mood to care about the feelings of her colleagues. She just wants to find a place to cry. Since the release of "Lushan Love", she has been going smoothly in the factory for the past few years. Everywhere is praise and pursuit.

When has she experienced such treatment? This is "Popular Movies", a movie magazine that movie audiences all over China will read.

Such a film review praised "Donkey Gets Water", but at the end alone criticized herself severely. Zhang Yu couldn't figure out why the magazine would do this. She just felt that she was being targeted by the whole world, and she couldn't help crying The tears came out of my eyes, and I was out of breath crying after a while.

Not long after Zhang Yu walked out of the office, her colleagues found her crying badly after a while, and hurriedly pulled her back to the office, comforting her softly.

"Film reviews are all critical articles. Director Xie's movie is good, they have nothing to criticize, they just want to find some problems from you, don't take it to heart."

"Don't cry! It's just a film review, and no one will remember it after a while."

Colleagues cared and advised Zhang Yu, who was genuine and fake, and Zhang Yu was not in the mood to tell the difference. She just felt extremely wronged in her heart. She had clearly put a lot of effort into interpreting the role, and there was hard work without credit. Why do these people say this? For themselves, wouldn't their conscience ache?

The more she thought about it, the more unconvinced she became, she even forgot to cry, and simply stood up and broke into the factory director's office.

"Have "Popular Movies" withdraw this film review? What are you kidding? Are you crazy or am I crazy?" Director Xu snapped.

Zhang Yu felt aggrieved, "But it's wrong for them to write like this. I obviously worked hard in acting..."

Before Zhang Yu finished speaking, he was interrupted by Director Xu.

"Work hard? What's the use of hard work? Do you know how many times Director Xie Jin wanted to replace you? If I had known, I should have agreed to let him replace you. Take a look at what you are now, and have acted in several well-known films. The movie, after winning a few awards, is smug and can't tolerate a little criticism.

How amazing do you think you are?The script you acted in was written by the screenwriter, the clothes you wore were designed by the costume designer, your makeup was done by the makeup artist, your shots were taken by the photographer, and your face was lit by the lighting engineer. Scheduling is given by the director.

You are an actor, and the only job left is acting. You still can't do it well, and you still have the face to cry at me.Do you know how much painstaking effort the factory has spent in favor of you?I am not motivated at all, and I don’t know the heights of heaven and earth after winning two awards. Do you think you won those awards by yourself? "

Director Xu is over fifty years old, and he has rarely gotten angry, but today Zhang Yu's unreasonable troubles really made him a little annoyed. The young actors who have spent so much effort in training in the factory can be ashamed if they don't perform well in movies, and they have no brains. I came here to withdraw other people's film reviews. I thought it was the time of the four Bs?
He couldn't help reprimanding Zhang Yu with the most severe attitude.

Zhang Yu impulsively came to make demands on the factory manager, but was scolded by the factory manager for being stupid after a few words. She has never seen the factory manager get so angry. Since she became famous, when did the factory manager speak to herself in a soft voice? language.

But once this movie review was posted, why did everything change?
