Zhou Dongyu's benefactor is Zhang Yimou, and his noble is Ceng Guoxiang. What's the story?
Zhou Dongyu once again cooperated with Ceng Guoxiang in Better Days and won the Oscar for Best Actress. So Zhou Dongyu's benefactor is Zhang Yimou, and his noble is Ceng Guoxiang.
If there is no Bole, how can there be a later road? When Jing Qiu, the heroine of The Hawthorn Tree, was selected, Zhang Yimou traveled to almost all art colleges in China, but never found the best candidate. It was not until I saw Zhou Dongyu that I decided on the role of Jingqiu. Zhou Dongyu's is pure natural beauty without impurities. Therefore, it conforms to the role of Jingqiu.
Of course, the film won wide acclaim as soon as it was released, and Zhou Dongyu was well known. Just like this, Zhou Dongyu's debut as a girl is naturally more successful than others. Without Zhang Yimou, Zhou Dongyu's road to success might be even more difficult.
Meeting a noble person is a blessing in life, but what is more important is your own ability. After playing the role of Jing Qiu, Zhou Dongyu entered a professional college. Through study, her performance is more exciting. And Ceng Guoxiang's "July and An Sheng" won the Golden Horse Award, which was an affirmation of Zhou Dongyu's acting skills. At the 39th Academy Awards, Zhou Dongyu won the best actress again. This time with director Ceng Guoxiang, the film is called Better Days.
To tell the truth, Zhou Dongyu's acting can be said to be a textbook performance. However, if we can have a deeper understanding of the role, maybe we will have more charm of the role itself when performing. Of course, thanks to director Ceng Guoxiang for winning this double film. But the most important thing is that Zhou Dongyu himself is very powerful, so that he can get such an honor.
It takes strength to strike while the iron is hot, and Zhou Dongyu has made it today. I really want to thank Zhang Yimou for her insight and ability to know gold, which led her to the door of film performance. But it is not only Zhang Yimou who made Zhou Dongyu, or Zhang Yimou saw the potential of Zhou Dongyu, but he was not as persistent as Zhang Ziyi and Gong Li, and made a lot of works to make them shine.
It is not Zhang Yimou or Chen Kaige Xiaogang Feng who really set off the explosive power of Zhou Dongyu's performance, but Ceng Guoxiang, a young cross-border director rookie. From July and An Sheng to Better Days, the two works jointly produced by Zhou Dongyu and Ceng Guoxiang have excellent reputation and won many awards, which is even better than Zhou Dongyu's performance in the works directed by Zhang Yimou.
Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. Zhou Dongyu's success is not entirely accidental. I was chosen by Zhang Yimou by luck, but also by her aura. It can also be said that at the beginning, it was the grandfathers who rewarded the grain. However, so many TV dramas and movies appeared later, which were recognized by the industry and deeply loved by the audience.
Seriously, there are not many actors who can be active in TV dramas and movies and get affirmation. Therefore, as the old saying goes, opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared.
