But when the boot, Mo Yan saw Gong Li, he saw the movie red sorghum that hot heart instantly cooled most of the way, think this little girl that face hesitation rush and the image of their own hearts are not at all match, seriously doubt Zhang Yimou look away. Even worried about the play will be smashed in the hands of Gong Li, until the movie is finished, Mo Yan will be that hanging heart down. An interview with Mo Yan said, Gong Li played the nine children, although not the image of my heart, but it is red sorghum in the nine children. Sure enough, Gong Li did not let Zhang Yimou and Mo Yan disappointed.
After the movie was aired, it was a huge hit. Gong Li also with this corner of a hit, "Red Sorghum" took the Berlin Film Festival's Golden Bear Award, the Golden Rooster Award for Chinese films and the Hundred Flowers Award for the best film, and therefore on the cover of Time magazine, becoming the first Chinese star on Time magazine, is the second in the history of the world's movies in one fell swoop to include the three highest awards of the European film actresses. The star has become one of China's leading actresses, and since then, Gong Li's name has become internationally recognized, and she has become the representative figure of Oriental women, and a bright symbol of China's film and television.
Like when shooting Red Sorghum, in order to find the feeling of a peasant woman, two months in advance into the group to practice picking water. When shooting "Ju Dou", Gong Li went to the countryside two months before shooting to experience life or get close to the role, wearing a cloth shirt in the sun. As a result, he became dark and thin and emaciated after the scene was shot, and the local farmers who often work have no intention of standing with them, there is no sense of dissonance.
When he lived in the countryside for 3 months during the filming of "Qiu Ju Zhao Si", he learned Shaanxi dialect, and stood in a group of Shaanxi ladies, you really couldn't tell that Gong Li was a star. Because he was a real Shaanxi lady at that time, plus when the shooting was in winter conditions were very difficult, and even in the middle of the night in the cold winter barefoot running around in the water, just to present a movie to a minute of play, but also to present us with Gong Li's history of the ugliest and most earthy modeling, can't see any dress up is really from the inside out of the earth, and it is precisely with Gong Li for the role of the heart of the effort, to The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on a new one, and you'll be able to do it.
In addition to this, she in order to make the "geisha" in a Zhang Ge's scene, she and Zhang Ziyi negotiation real fight, a scene end face is full of fingerprints. Like this fight scene can be completely borrowed or find a stuntman. But in order to present a better effect and responsible for the audience, Gong Li has never been personally, and even for a short one-minute fan dance in the scene, he practiced for several months. After the movie shot his fan dance, learned the professional level, so the heart of the actor who do not like it?
Gong Li is the kind of people to shoot all the people, and it is this pursuit, so that Gong Li at a young age swept the major film and television awards. 40 years old that year has bagged countless awards of Gong Li decided to challenge themselves again - into Hollywood. Entering Hollywood, Gong Li is not impatient, still sticking to her own rationality to the movie to the audience, encountering roles she doesn't like, and still refusing to let other people's opinions affect her. One of her most famous rejections was a script for James Bond, which she rejected outright because she didn't think there was much opportunity for her to play the simpler side of the movie. This is one of the capitals that made Gong Li known as Gong Huang.
Not only that, as an actress, she has her own professional ethics that she sticks to. When shooting "Farewell My Concubine", Gong Li's sister passed away due to some cancer, the crew gave him a day off, and the next day he got up the spirit to shoot the marriage scene with Zhang Fengyi. Not a single tear was shed in front of the camera. It is this respect of Gong Li for the actor's profession that makes him step by step into the role, into the hearts of the audience and into the world. In 16 years when Cannes film for Gong Li official clearing nearly 30 meters of the red carpet, only Gong Li one proudly forward. This is undoubtedly the highest affirmation of his 30 years in Cannes. No Chinese had enjoyed such treatment before him.
So there are many movie queens in the entertainment circle, but there is only one "Gong Huang" from the beginning, Gong Li from the Shandong big girl to today's "Gong Huang", her status can not be separated from the efforts, and more importantly, her reverence for the arts, the cause of the movie! As Gong Li once said, all the things you want to get, until now you have to rely on your own efforts to get, until today also from the change.
