The temple fairs in the capital have always been known for being crowded.
The so-called squeezing is blessed, and everyone is willing to come out to join in the fun and get lucky, and the year will be smooth and prosperous.
In fact, the temple fair is almost the same every year, and the people living in the capital are not to see the freshness, but to enjoy this celebratory atmosphere, after all, there is only one time a year.
It's also comfortable to be in groups with friends, eat snacks, and follow the crowd to take a look.
Xu Jinglei is in the crowd, she has not become a big star yet, and no one will notice her.
If she waited until Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was broadcast on TV, she might or may not be recognized when she walks on the street, she feels that she has a public face, and she is not conspicuous in the crowd at all.
This is where she is more depressed.
It's nothing when I filmed the two of us, that film pays attention to life, and I don't do much makeup, as long as I wash my face, the more ordinary the better.
But Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is different, Jade Jiaolong is the daughter of the Admiral of the Nine Gates, not only to wear makeup, but also to look radiant.
Every time the makeup artist goes to great lengths to make her look more glamorous in front of the camera.
Xu Jinglei felt very embarrassed, there was no way, the foundation was poor, and she could only make up for it by makeup.
It's not that she's not beautiful, it's just that her temperament is different, she gives people a sense of innocence, and there is still a certain distance from being beautiful.
She doesn't like makeup herself, and she thinks it's good to be refreshing.
For her, the process of filming Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was a kind of torture.
Especially when acting against Chen Daoming, the requirements are very strict, and there are a few times when the director feels that she can pass, and Chen Daoming will let her come back a few times until she passes.
Xu Jinglei even felt that this showbiz senior was deliberately targeting her.
She has the stubbornness of a girl in the capital, and she usually looks soft and weak, but she can still withstand the pressure.
She didn't act well in this drama at the beginning, and she didn't get into the state, but then she played more and more smoothly, and found a feeling, although she still couldn't meet Chen Daoming's requirements, she felt pretty good.
After acting in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, she returned to film school and went to perform those sketches again, thinking that it was so simple.
Xu Jinglei realized that this was all the harvest during filming.
The classmates felt that Xu Jinglei had not only become more confident, but also improved her acting skills, it seemed that acting skills were useless just by practice, and they had to really film and practice.
They envy Xu Jinglei for being able to play the heroine before she graduates, and she can still receive drama appointments one after another, it is said that the famous director Zhao Baogang asked Xu Jinglei to play the role.
The girl who was originally ordinary in the class suddenly became hot, and even the teacher thought it was incredible.
Before Yu Feihong returned to Hangzhou for the New Year, he reminded Xu Jinglei not to finish the performance, but to continue to ponder the role of Yu Jiaolong, and there may be opportunities to play Yu Jiaolong in the future.
Xu Jinglei heard from Lin Xiaoling that Lin Zixuan seemed to have a star-making plan.
Lin Xiaoling didn't know very well, but after listening to it so much, it wasn't a bad thing anyway, she should be ready to vigorously cultivate her.
Xu Jinglei was a little happy and a little apprehensive about this.
Her life has suddenly entered the fast lane from obscurity, and she can easily get the roles that others need to fight for, whether this is good or bad.
After thinking about it for a long time, she gradually calmed down.
Since there is an opportunity, why not seize it, not many students who graduate from art schools can act every year, and even students who come out of film schools can become famous.
Xu Jinglei decided to take control of her life and not let the opportunity slip away from her eyes. is also a student of the film academy, Jia Zhangke also wants to grasp his life.
He followed Lam's advice and sent the videotape of Xiaoshan's return to the Hong Kong Art Center for an independent short film exhibition.
In 1993, the Heung Kong Municipal Council held an independent short film competition, and the Heung Kong Arts Centre hosted the Hong Kong Independent Video Competition.
In 1995, the City Council and the Arts Centre merged the two competitions to form an independent short film and video competition.
The main purpose of this competition is to promote a new generation of young filmmakers to shoot and video independent films, and Hong Kong has a tradition of independent films, and many of the great directors started their careers in making independent films.
The competition is held between February and March every year.
After Jia Zhangke sent the videotape, he didn't have much hope, however, one day he received a notice that Xiaoshan had gone home to win an award at the short film exhibition, and the organizers asked him to go to Xiangjiang to receive the award.
As for what award he won, he didn't know, Jia Zhangke took a train from the capital to Pengcheng, took a letter from Xiangjiang to pass through customs, came to Xiangjiang, and found the organizer of the competition.
The competition is divided into five categories: Drama, Documentary, Music Video, Experiment and Animation.
Xiaoshan went home and won the gold medal for the feature film, and the prize money was 50,000 Hong Kong dollars, which was worth a little more than the renminbi at this time, equivalent to 52,000 yuan.
This is a surprise for Jia Zhangke, he didn't expect to be able to make money, but now he has finally returned to his capital.
It is a joy to make money, and what makes him even happier is that he met many peers at this exhibition, exchanged experiences, and investors who are willing to invest in independent films.
Independent films often have little market due to their strong personal style and niche themes, and there are not many films that can make money.
People who invest in independent films either really like it or want to find a potential director from it.
Some people fancy that Jia Zhangke can make a film like Xiaoshan Coming Home with 50,000 yuan, and want to cooperate with him, starting with low-cost short films, and then slowly growing bigger.

This is a small film company called Hutong Production, which is newly established, and the owners are two young people in Xiangjiang who like movies.
After some exchanges, they were willing to spend 200,000 yuan to invest in Jia Zhangke's new film.
Xiaoshan's award at home gave Jia Zhangke confidence, making him feel that the films he made were appreciated and could make money, and he also attracted investment in new films, and he couldn't wait to shoot new films.
Jia Zhangke returned to the capital from Xiangjiang.
He returned the 50,000 yuan bonus he got from winning the award to the classmates who pooled money for him, and returned 30,000 yuan of it to Lin Zixuan, and told Lin Zixuan about this trip to Xiangjiang.
Lin Zixuan accepted the money and listened to how he got the investment from the people of Xiangjiang.
Although 200,000 is not much, it is already very good for a rookie director who has not graduated from school and is in the initial stage, and many students who have graduated from the directing department may not have the opportunity to make films.
"Then you're going to be a director in the future," Lin Zixuan asked.
"yes, I think I'm a good fit to be a director, and I want to shoot something I want to shoot."
Jia Zhangke responded. t1706231537:
