As a result, Chow Yun-fat quietly hid this little bit of discomfort in his heart. He planned to wait until after filming officially began. He wanted to see the charm of this young actor that even Hollywood was crazy about.
Early the next morning, Hengdian welcomed a rare day of good weather. Under the bright rays of the sun, the palace built by more than 3,000 people appeared in front of everyone.
This really was a Yellow Palace. The floor was made of red carpet with golden cloud patterns. Other than the main red wooden structure, the walls were all covered with golden silk. What was even more frightening were the ancient windows with hollow patterns. The stickers on them were made of shiny gold leaf.
Not to mention the small ornaments in the palace, the various tools provided by the prop team for the actors, from the palace lanterns to the wooden fish, to the hairpins, buyao, earrings, and other accessories in the palace, were also a sea of yellow.
Only China's Yiwu Small Commodity Wholesale Market could satisfy the needs of the entire crew with such a large number of accessories.
At the same time, it indirectly showed that Yiwu belonged to the people of the world, and the people of the world needed Yiwu's commodities.
Before he could take a closer look at the dazzling surroundings, a member of the costume team took his costume and made him feel bad.
As the eldest prince of a country, his costume couldn't be out of place in the golden palace. It was golden all over. If it weren't for the light cyan base, he would have looked like a moving gold ingot.
The main color of the golden armor was golden, which was the favorite color of all the rich people in the world.
Since they couldn't agree on aesthetics, they had to use their acting skills to express the main theme of the film.
The first scene of the film was between him and Gong Li.
The eldest prince, who had been having an affair with his stepmother for three years, was afraid.
The Empress, who had woken up early, found out through her third son that his eldest brother planned to go to his fief, Qingzhou, to get rid of their indecent love and end this absurd relationship.
It was a small conflict at the beginning of the film. All the cameras focused on Qin Guan and Gong Li's faces.
There was a very high requirement for a person's acting skills.
And because of this two-minute scene, all the main actors in the crew had come. This was the first collaboration between a world-class Best Actor and a Best Actress, and it could also be a very exciting collision of acting skills.
In front of the huge crowd, Qin Guan and Gong Li began their first collaboration.
Gong Li, who was dressed splendidly, walked to the First Prince's room with an imposing manner. She was unwilling to let her stepson run away.
Qin Guan was wearing a golden crown with his eyes closed. Even the golden silk embroidery on his clothes couldn't hide his elegance.
He listened to the sounds outside the door. When the person outside pushed the door open and entered, he saw the person clearly. There was an awkward and subtle expression on his face, which shocked the onlookers in the most direct sense.
What kind of emotional expression was this? To be able to express such delicate emotions in such a way for everyone to see clearly.
As the onlookers were sighing at Qin Guan's performance, Gong Li moved.
Her action perfectly reflected the strength of the best actress in China.
She frowned and grabbed Qin Guan's sleeve angrily. They were close, so she pressed her cheek against Qin Guan's chin.
Every movement was exquisite, and every expression was meaningful.
This was a grand feast of acting skills, and it was also a journey of competition between the two actors.
If it was an ordinary movie actor, they would have thrown away their armor in front of Gong Li's imposing performance.
Qin Guan turned his chin slightly, covering his eyes with his long eyelashes.
Because of this action, half of his face automatically fell into shadow. Coupled with his gloomy expression, this action showed his rejection of his stepmother.
"My father is back. I am his son after all, and you are my mother."
She perfectly expressed her wish from the bottom of her heart: I don't want to continue this indecent love any longer.
"I'm not your mother at all. Moreover, it's not like the current situation can't be changed!"
Gong Li didn't flinch. Instead, she took back her hand and stood as straight as she had been when she had first entered the room.
At this moment, she was no longer a woman in love. It was as if she was the most imposing empress in the world. She had regained her previous bearing.
"Let's go and welcome your father first!"
She turned around and left without hesitation.
"Okay! Cut! "
"The first scene of First Glimpse of Ambition is over!"
Director Zhang didn't say anything about Qin Guan and Gong Li's performance. If they needed his advice, they would be looking down on the two pillars of the film industry.
Director Zhang Yimou wasn't worried about their performance, but there was one more person in the crew that he had to keep an eye on.
It was Jay Chou, who had been on the list of Asia's Top 10 Most Influential People with Qin Guan in 2005.
The talented young man, who had gone through several setbacks to shine in the music industry, had no experience in acting on the big screen.
If it weren't for the Taiwanese film company and investors, who had helped Jay Chou pave the way for him, and Zhang Yimou and Zhang Weiping's selfishness about the global box office, they wouldn't have chosen an inexperienced person like Jay Chou to participate in this big production.
Of course, Director Zhang had agreed because of Jay's sincerity and his eagerness to act in the film.
For the sake of this film, Jay Chou had specially hired a martial arts coach and a martial arts director from the film company to give him special training on fighting scenes. This kid had his own merits.
