Huayu started as a lecturer at Beijing Film Academy

The topic became more and more exciting, and Wang Zhi couldn't help asking: "Teacher Gu, do you think that among the current batch of actresses, who can achieve their achievements?"

Hearing Wang Zhi's question, Gu Zhongyu suddenly wanted to laugh.

It feels like he is asking if you think Da Mi Mi's acting skills can compare with Zhang Ziyi?

Although Gu Zhongyu is not very fond of Zhang Ziyi, he has to admit: there are probably a hundred Fan Xiaopangs between Da Mi Mi and Zhang Ziyi!

"Many stars nowadays will say how many fans I have and how many endorsements I have when proving themselves, but never say that I have won the best actor or best actress. Of course, I am not saying that there is anything wrong with this idea. After all, it is a commercial society, and everyone thinks differently!"

"Without a strong heart and a strong sense of professionalism, don't even think about the issue of historical status!"

Gu Zhongyu picked up the wine glass and sipped it slowly.

"I thought you would say Liu Yufei or Teacher Fan Binbin."

Wang Zhi looked at Gu Zhongyu with some surprise, because as far as she knew, Fan Binbin was closest to him in the company, and outside the company it was Liu Yufei and Yang Mi.

I didn't expect that he didn't think highly of any of them.

"Haha, Xixi's acting skills are far from enough, and Fan Binbin...has too many thoughts other than filming, and the current Hollywood power is too strong, and European films are completely at the bottom. Let alone Gong Li and Zhang Manyu, it's hard to say who among the current young actresses can reach Zhang Ziyi's status!"

"I thought you didn't like actresses like Zhang Ziyi!" Zhang Hanyu looked at Gu Zhongyu with some surprise.

"In terms of personality, I really don't like it, but we are discussing the actors themselves now!"

Actresses who focus on acting are worthy of praise!

This may not be very clear to everyone, just compare it with Zhang Baizhi.

Zhang Ziyi and Zhang Baizhi, two actresses of similar age and circumstances, have been mixed up until now, and only Zhang Ziyi is remembered.

Zhang Ziyi made her debut in "My Father and Mother" and won the youngest Hundred Flowers Film Award. In 1999, she even partnered with Li An to star in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

Zhang Baizhi was no exception, and her debut was "The King of Comedy"!

She became famous as soon as she debuted, and was trained by masters!

But in those days, Hong Kong actors were much more valuable than mainland actors. In addition, with the support of a number of Hong Kong directors, Zhang Baizhi's rise was much stronger than Zhang Ziyi's!

Zhang Ziyi and Zhang Baizhi both starred in Xu Ke's "The Legend of Zu Mountain". The two had a sharp contrast in status. Zhang Baizhi was the absolute heroine, and Zhang Ziyi only played a small role in the film.

But there is a very interesting phenomenon. In the overseas promotion of "The Legend of Zu Mountain", Zhang Ziyi stood in the middle of the poster, and the copyright was sold abroad with her fame!

That was in the year 2000, and no one thought there was anything wrong with Zhang Ziyi being a foot-washing maid for Zhang Baizhi, except Zhang Ziyi herself!

She herself said in an interview: "I am just a big supporting role in it. I will not write Shushan in my resume because I feel that it is not mine. In fact, I acted in that film just to cooperate with Xu Ke!"

In 2004, Zhang Baizhi won the Best Actress Award at the Hong Kong Film Awards, and in 2005, Zhang Ziyi also won the Best Actress Award at the Hong Kong Film Awards.

You should know that the other leading actress in "2046" where Zhang Ziyi won the Best Actress Award was Gong Li!

Since her debut, Zhang Ziyi has almost been working with a bunch of big stars. The publicity center of "My Father and Mother" was Lao Mouzi, and in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" it was Chow Yun-fat and Yang Ziqiong. In "Hero", she was the last one, and her role was only a little more than Zhen Zidan, who was also a supporting role.

On the other hand, Zhang Baizhi was born at the right time. When she debuted, the older generation of Hong Kong actresses, except for Zhang Manyu, were still active, and the others were basically retired or semi-retired. The movies she starred in were all absolute heroines!

Sometimes, career ambition is really important!

Then, both of them encountered scandals that would affect their lives almost at the same time. Zhang Baizhi met the first-generation photography master Edison Chen, and Zhang Ziyi became an international scandal because of her foreign boyfriend!

By the way, Zhang Ziyi was too competitive and aggressive in those years, and offended many people, including Zhang Manyu and Gong Li!

Fortunately, both of them survived.

Then, Zhang Baizhi returned to filming, and from 2009 to 2015, he filmed 7 works, all of which were terrible!

Zhang Ziyi met Gong Er, and she was full of momentum, completely crushing Liang Chaowei in the same work!

In 2012, Zhang Ziyi was the absolute protagonist of "Dangerous Liaisons", and Zhang Baizhi played a supporting role in it!

Quoting the evaluation of the King of Sunglasses: Zhang Ziyi is a virtuoso female warrior with complete voice, color, and art. Before, there was Lin Qingxia, and today there is only Zhang Ziyi!

As for Zhang Baizhi, her experience tells most people that no matter how others praise you or how much they treat you like a star, once you mess yourself up, it will be difficult to turn things around!

Who among today's young actresses has a strong heart like Zhang Ziyi?

Or, who can have the luck of Zhang Ziyi?

Forget about Fan Binbin, Li Binbin and the like, they are not on the same level, there is no comparison at all!

And now there are too many ways for celebrities to make money. It is rare to find people who like to make movies and can honestly make TV series and movies. The sense of accomplishment and direct benefits that the profession of actor can bring are getting less and less!

…

"Hey! Let's get back to business, Mr. Gu, what are your expectations for the box office of our movie?"

After drinking a few glasses, everyone unconsciously turned to the Mekong River that was about to be filmed.

Lin Chaoxian had long heard that Gu Zhongyu's box office predictions were very accurate.

"To be honest, my box office goal for this movie is to break even, but in terms of film quality, I must set a benchmark!"

After drinking a few drinks, Gu Zhongyu was also ready to say a few words: "The domestic film market has been developing abnormally. I know that there are already more than a dozen youth films about to be released. The concept that youth films can make money It’s deeply rooted in the hearts of almost every investor, it’s really scary! The types of movies must be diverse!”

"Well, I filmed director Xu's film. To be honest, the types of domestic films are indeed not rich enough, and the commercialization is also lacking!"

"It's different. "Taking Tiger Mountain" can mythologize Yang Zirong, but Mekong River is a real case and must have a certain logic. Alas! It's a pity. Even though I have tried my best to shift my writing to logic, there is still a strong sense of heroism. ism color!”

At first, he felt that the plot at the end of the original version of "Operation Mekong" was a bit nonsense. Gao Gang and Fang Xinwu swept through a team of hundreds of people!

Lin Chaoxian seems to like to describe the protagonist as a superhero. "Operation Red Sea" also has 8 people fighting against more than 150 terrorists...

But when Gu Zhongyu wrote the script himself, he found it really difficult to choose.

On the one hand, the GA department hopes that they can make a movie with a strong sense of heroism. On the other hand, since this is his own movie, Gu Zhongyu must sacrifice some authenticity for commerciality and adapt this political event into a qualified film. Action movie!

Otherwise, the possibility of getting high box office is very small!

Gu Zhongyu's previous versions of the script focused on the humanistic care behind this tragedy.

In fact, there has never been a large-scale merger in the Mekong River case. Intelligence work and diplomatic and political work are the keys to capturing Naw Kang.

Moreover, in the investigation of the Mekong River case, the joint patrols and other measures of the four countries were very effective. Naw Kang was eventually captured by the Laotian police!

However, the existing conditions make it impossible for you to shoot like this!

The sensitivity of political issues makes it difficult to mention the underlying essence!

What the movie itself needs to promote is a country's spirit of safeguarding the safety of its citizens, and a tribute to the heroes who dedicate themselves in places unknown to us!

From this aspect, Gu Zhongyu's script is still very complete!

Several of the people here are filmmakers, so of course they understand what Gu Zhongyu means.

"Being able to shoot this kind of subject matter is already progress in a sense!"

Zhang Hanyu said comfortingly.

"I said...what are you looking at?"

Gu Zhongyu had noticed a long time ago that when Dong Wei and Zhan Liguo were listening to their chat, they unconsciously looked towards a corner diagonally opposite.

He then turned around and looked over. It turned out to be a woman!

It should be said that it was a woman with her back to them, wearing a black short skirt and high heels, full of temptation!

"Don't just watch, have sex if you're interested in it!"

Gu Zhongyu encouraged on the side.

"Forget it, this is Bangkok after all, there are too many ladyboys!"

Zhan Liguo waved his hand sheepishly, "I just appreciate it purely, and I don't know English or Thai, so don't be embarrassed..."

He had an idea, "How about Teacher Wang Zhi? If you cut your hair short now, you'll be more handsome than the boys. The atmosphere here in Thailand is open, maybe you can do it!"

Wang Zhi's response to him was to raise her middle finger!

"Fuck! If you don't go, then I will go!"

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Gu Zhongyu also got a little drunk. He put the glass down and said, "Here, let me give you a sample!"

"Teacher Gu, be careful! I can't believe how beautiful I am, and I can't believe my good figure. If I take off my clothes...it might be even bigger than yours!"

"Don't worry! Whether you are a woman or a shemale, you will definitely not be able to escape my fiery eyes!"

Gu Zhongyu walked over pretending to be alright, but in fact he was still a little square inside. He decided to look at his Adam's apple later and if there was anything wrong with his voice, he would immediately apply oil on the soles of his feet!

"Hello beauty, are you alone?"

He didn't know how well the beauty spoke English. Anyway, he didn't know Thai. If the other party couldn't understand her, then there would be nothing he could do.

When the beauty heard someone chatting with her, she slowly turned around. Her flaming red lips and delicate facial features gave her a bit of a mixed-race look.

There are quite a lot of mixed-race children in Thailand, and they were all planted when the foreign uncles came here!

This beauty seemed to be in a bad mood. She didn't speak at first, but looked at Gu Zhongyu up and down, and then asked in English: "chinese?"

"Yes, I saw you sitting here drinking alone, so I wanted to ask if you are interested in joining our drinking party?" He said, pointing to Zhang Hanyu and others sitting behind.

"Thank you, no need, I'm not familiar with you!"

After saying that, he turned his back and continued drinking alone.

Gu Zhongyu shrugged. He didn't have much hope at first. After being rejected, he was about to leave immediately.

"etc…"

The beauty turned back again, holding her mobile phone, and asked him excitedly: "Are you... Gu Zhongyu?"

On the screen of the mobile phone was Gu Zhongyu’s photo and the Wikipedia introduction below. Did he not expect that someone would recognize him in a bar in Thailand?

"Yes... I didn't expect anyone in Thailand to recognize me!"

"Ah! It's really you!"

The beauty was so excited that she came up to him and gave him a warm hug...

"I'll go! Teacher Gu is so awesome. After just a few words of conversation, he's already hugging you?"

"Niubi, he is so handsome that he is popular wherever he goes!"

The men were filled with envy, but Wang Zhi felt a little bit sour looking at it. This man had been sleeping in her room every day recently!

Gu Zhongyu was shocked by the sudden happiness. Not only was this Thai girl beautiful, she also had a pretty figure!

The weather in Thailand is hot, so I originally wore less clothes, but now they are so tight. Although the beauty is thin, she still has a lot of things that she should have, and there is really no extra thing that she shouldn't have... the possibility of a shemale You can rule it out first!

The beauty also realized that she was too enthusiastic, and quickly let go of Gu Zhongyu, clasping her hands together with an apology on her face, "I'm sorry, the light in the bar was too dim and I didn't recognize you. I just watched your performance of "The Invisible Guest" not long ago. , the movie is really wonderful!”

Thailand has always been fond of suspenseful crime movies, and "The Invisible Guest" did well at the box office in Thailand. It's not surprising that this girl has seen it.

"Thank you. I think you look familiar. Are you a celebrity?"

"Yes! Mr. Gu actually has an impression of me?" The beauty became even more excited.

Actually there is not…

Gu Zhongyu just saw that this girl was beautiful and had a good figure, and the clothes she was wearing were not cheap. She was either an actress or a model, or a girl from a wealthy family. Anyway, it was definitely a compliment!

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Devika Horne, and my English name is Mai. I am indeed an actor and model, but I am only a little famous in Thailand. I am still not as good as Mr. Gu..."

oh!

It turned out to be this girl, and Gu Zhongyu was really impressed now!

Devika Horne, a Thai-Belgian mixed-race, was born in 1992. She debuted as a model and was named one of the "Most Beautiful Faces in the World" for two consecutive years...

Gu Zhongyu knew her mainly because he had watched the commentary of a Thai funny ghost film "Ghost Husband" in his previous life. He had a deep memory of the beautiful female ghost, so he went to Baidu to search for the actor's name, so he remembered this person.

Everyone was in the entertainment industry, so it was easy to talk to him, especially this girl who seemed to really like Gu Zhongyu. After recognizing him, they chatted for a few words and then naturally followed him back to the booth.

'Hi, everyone, I'm Mai, nice to meet you..."

Everyone never expected that Gu Zhongyu would chat with a local celebrity directly, and he seemed to have no airs...

Because the status of local celebrities in Thailand is actually not high. As a monarchy, local class consciousness is still very strong. The current development position of the film and television industry is that of professional wage earners.
