Intellectual woman Xu Jinglei: prime handle hibiscus, false step gingerly Taiqing

 

    Throughout the world cinema, talking about "intellectual" word, immediately came out of my mind the image of no more than three: America's Jodie Foster, France, Juliette Binoche and China's Sylvia. They are strong or wise, or elegant and generous, or quick-witted, short people mention them, they always mention the share of both temperament and beauty and wisdom. These things always make them in a wide range of the stars in a rare show unique. And now, the "intellectual" is defined in my mind one more person eleven Xu Jinglei.

 

    A few years ago the mention of this graduated from Beijing Film Academy's star, the impression may still remain in the drama of teen idol idol. Can talk about it in recent years, public opinion has already quietly changed, "beauty director", "intellectual woman" of the various name has been imposed on the body. Best reflect this change is an entertainment titles: Previously, the entertainment selected the considerable strength of the mainland earlier debut of the "four small artistes": Zhang Ziyi, Zhou Xun, Xu Jinglei and Zhao Wei. Now, the "new four small artistes" in Wallace instead of the smooth upper Xu Jinglei.

 

    Careful analysis, it is easy to see the differences between them four individual development and direction.

 

    Akiko just after Gong Li has now become the world's most famous Chinese actress, and her high starting this great relationship, the first film, "My Father and Mother" by Zhang Yimou is the tie-up, and then the "hero" and "House of Flying Daggers" continue to serve as "seeking girls." Collaboration with Wong Kar-wai, and Ang Lee for her benefit, to learn how to really play. Today, she is shuttling between film pod States and China, with their own strength now confirmed his own position.

 

    Just won the Hong Kong Film Awards for Best Actress Zhou Xun, is recognized as four small artistes acting in the best one. "Suzhou River" and enchanting confused girl peony, now a bit more mature small woman's taste. Although there is no Zhang Ziyi's international reputation, but Zhou Xun has become China's leading actresses age, her acting with her experience will further deepen.

 

  "Four small artistes" Zhao Wei in the relatively weaker, although already successfully out of the business for the time being mass dubbed the "Swallow" image, but she still needs and the great director's cooperation, we need more good works to hone his acting skills. In time, he shall be a place in Chinese cinema. And Xu Jinglei, select a rising star, and other three different artistic path.

 

    This series of changes brought about the most intuitive reason is of course she chose the director's identity. Although "speech and an excellent guide" In today's film is not nothing new, can be considered to women who do so few really took off Sylvia, Mabel Cheung and Ann Hui is a director began to carry a fixed idea of ​​people do, After years of honing party obtains is today. Maybe someone will bring Western Sofia Coppola, I admit that she does have a rare talent of the director, but if you read her earlier starred in several films, then, will not consciously think: poor acting seems forced She only came to their logical director position. So compare the opinion, acting superior female director Xu Jinglei scarce in today's case, self-directed from white and directed for the first time to achieve such impressive results, it is commendable.

 

    Perhaps we used to her early TV work "love to be in the end," the kind of sensual female college student role, so when the appearance of the woman suddenly began to challenge the soft directed this very masculine occupation, everyone invariably feel to an accident. In fact, she was not a sudden change in one fell swoop amazing, would face under mild stubborn character, before becoming the director of a series of works, it has been more or less revealed.

 

    This feeling is in her first film "Spicy Love Soup" and did not reflect how much the film's biggest role may lie in the Xu Jinglei previously established image in the minds of more consolidated up.

 

    From 2001, she has a special selection of films vision and different from the past in the film show us her bones are beginning to realize the different temperaments. Li Xin, a new generation of directors involved in the first film, "EYE", then in a white sheet director of "Spring Subway", the portrayal of a love with her boyfriend and lost seven urban woman looking lost love, she kind of in emotional crisis in four after the break still no way out of the psychological struggle to gradually numb feeling was very apt. This role also won her ninth Beijing Student Film Festival "most students welcome actress" award and 26 th Volkswagen Hundred Flowers Film Award for best actress.

 

    2002, directed by Zhang Yuan in "I Love You", Xu Jinglei dedication from the shadow of the most amazing performances. The film adapted from Wang Shuo's novel "Xiao the addiction he died." Originally, the adaptation of the novel is a strenuous activity, not to mention there long ago Jiang Shan, Wang Zhiwen's TV version bead front. Zhang Yuan can be witty film looks exquisite, Xu Jinglei ornaments experienced Duxiao orange, extremely sensitive to the feelings of the ideals, love has a near-paranoid dedication and desire. She is spoiled and arrogant arouses pity scary when the little woman-like expression was full of Reiki, memorable. It is also this film, so I really took her from the previous single image is abstracted out, so I began to pay attention to her body that stubborn tenacity, while the rich layering of performances for which she won the first Ninth China Movie Awards Best Newcomer Award.

 

    Xu Jinglei, directed and starred in the first film, "I and my father," Let me first comprehensive three-dimensional observation of her talent and her personality. The film is not the slightest novice Sentimental and domestic films hypocritical common problem, she calmly shot and a brief conversation passed between father and daughter and true feelings can be. Let us now think of the feelings around not that subtle little things that a piece of it sketched out? She played in the film that stubborn aggressive unwed mothers can see the continuation of the "I Love You" in orange Duxiao certain style, but marriage is more rational and thought. This has also allowed her image more fullness and true. I still remember the movie in which she described the period of my father's death scene, no hoarse cry, in which two brief narration, she sadly silent forbear the expression of the pain of memories is so moist eyes calm.

 

    Unlike the current generation of directed some impetuous and Petty, Xu Jinglei's first shot without the slightest publicity and show off everything in the calm of the lens being bred. It is this extraordinary faith can be only the most deeply moving, more conspicuous humanity. "My father and I" as she won the first 23 session of the China Golden Rooster Award for best directorial debut award.

 

    If we say that this success was also some people call it a glorious chance, then adapted arrogant writer Stefan Zweig's novel "Letter from an Unknown Woman" is the emergence of this most powerful comeback. She wrote and directed by the same, the film is completely different from "I and my father" in another style. Look back at her previous works, like "Letter from an Unknown Woman" Such delicate Petty gorgeous works almost none. This time she was elegant and eloquent language of the camera and carefully grasp the psychology of women, even reminds me of the world-famous "Piano Lesson" and its director Jane Campion's delicate performance figures psychological tactics.

 

  "I love you, and you do not care" declaration of love will never be so also let the story enveloped a deep sense of tragedy. The film is based on her own a breakthrough, with her own wisdom increasingly calm temperament interpretation of a different past affectionate stubborn woman. Video ultimate achievement for many people in the industry are also surprised: 52nd San Sebastian Film Festival in Spain, the best director award to live. Prior to receive this award, only Chen Kaige's "Together."

 

    Face followed honor, Xu Jinglei seemed indifferent calm. In her eyes These incentives are very precious, but these are not used for bragging rights. She once said that he will not give up the actor's identity, she likes the feeling of acting, but she will devote more energy to the work of the director. We have reason to believe that her heart will be accompanied by her share of tough road to go further in the director.

 

    With the blog popular culture in China, Xu Jinglei's name again in another form to attract the public's eye. "Xu Jinglei's blog" Sina warlords sit tight in the first one, in the blog world ranking is now the first place, so far, traffic has reached 3,000 million and more. Those piecemeal mood sentiment, those without carving Moment of Truth, to cause such concern is probably she also did not expect it. Not long ago, "Xu Jinglei's blog" officially published in book mode, the contents are completely extracted from the blog. Driven by her, is a trend.

 

    From the "Southern People Weekly" at the annual "Top Ten Young Leaders' Award, an actor and director Xu Jinglei dual identity as the only selected performers. With her own actions and attitude, seems to have stood in the leading position of youth leader of the masses. No one is assured temperament and firm proud, a small woman how can such a brilliant career achievements.

 

    Of course, Xu Jinglei also facing challenges, she directed the third film, "Dreams into Reality" is being shown nationwide. This is a unique film, through the film only the right two actors: a man and a woman, the man is the director, woman is an actor, They crew stationed in the hotel room all night long talk eleven talk what? What to do? Two people can provoke much storm? This is a benevolent see benevolence and the wise see wisdom works, it might make you elated, maybe make you drowsy, to see what type of audience, what temperament, and you come to what kind of life stage, faced with what kind of psychological difficulties.

 

    've Seen online "curse", and the box office has not yet grasp. But I believe in Xu Jinglei's expectations, she just wanted to try a different type of movie, she does not premeditated repeat herself, she is very smart. Some say she was dull, such as chrysanthemum, indeed, this tranquil and elegant intellectual woman of her temperament and chrysanthemums have a natural fit. In this age, with this attitude and talent, let's hustle and bustle of the entertainment industry, also saw a hint of a different kind of Harmonia.

 

  Think of a poem, "Su handle hibiscus, false step gingerly too pure" to describe her now or in the future, she should most fitting. This in turn embraced her shallow smile, bright, cheerful, misty, blue days.
