Zhang Yimou paid Chow Yun Fat 50 million yuan to play "Golden Flower in the City", and the producers were furious on the spot. what do you think?

Since the film "Golden Flower in the City" directed by Zhang Yimou was released 15 years ago, the controversy about it has never stopped. Whether the film is good or bad, it is a bright spot in Jay Chou's actor career. This film is the first film in China's film history to truly realize global simultaneous release. Its original overseas name was Memories of Autumn Moon, but Zhang Yimou always felt that this name was not atmospheric enough. Later, he considered names such as Chongyang and Chrysanthemum Killing, but they were all rejected.

"Golden Flower in the City" has a low score. The movie "Golden Flower in the City" directed by Zhang Yimou is full of big coffee stars, but the clothes are too exposed. The audience blushed and dared not look at the actress. However, most of the audience who watched the movie felt that such a good star resource and script were wasted. At that time, the film was rated extremely low, and none of them got a 6.

Now, after many years, I think the picture is amazing. It is an artistic feeling from beginning to end, whether it is the picture, makeup or clothing, it is carefully matched. If you appreciate it as a work of art, the effect will be different!

It is said that Zhang Yimou used 20,000 people to reproduce the cruelty of the war in order to avoid computer stunts on the assembly line when making this film. Under the real shot, the texture and heavy feeling of the picture are really incomparable to the special effects synthesis. "Golden Flower in the City" is based on the drama "Thunderstorm", which tells the story of the tactics between the king, the queen and the prince. It is reported that the film "Zhang Yimou" was shot for Gong Li, because Gong Li made a vow to play the queen.

The salary in Chow Yun Fat is very high. The king played by Chow Yun Fat should be the most miserable person in the movie. The queen wanted to kill him, his ex-wife wanted to kill him, and so did his three sons. Some for power, some for revenge. The king looks beautiful, but in fact he is dangerous.

It is said that Zhang Yimou offered Chow Yun Fat 50 million yuan for filming "Golden Flower in the City", but the other party was not satisfied. Chow Yun Fat asked the crew to rent a luxury RV with a monthly rent of 500,000 yuan, so that his wife could visit the crew. You know, at that time, Chow Yun Fat paid 1 1% of the total investment in the film.

Add this requirement temporarily, Zhang Yimou was furious. But there's nothing I can do. Or did the protagonist make the coffee bigger? Finally, I rented an RV, but Chow Yun Fat's wife didn't come to visit once, so 500,000 yuan went down the drain. Although "Golden Flower in the City" later made investors make money, Chow Yun Fat was famous for being difficult to serve. Some people say that Brother Fage plays a big card, while others say that he is better than a great director like Zhang Yimou. In front of Fage, I can only be passive to Nuo Nuo and Nuo Nuo. After all, this is the coffee place in Chow Yun Fat.

Chow Yun Fat had a conflict with the producer. It is said that before long, producers Zhang Weiping and Chow Yun Fat got angry on the spot. Zhang Weiping: "Chow Yun Fat, I have put up with you for a long time. You're not just playing big cards, this is personality problem! Why do you have to spend so much money to rent an RV just to go to the toilet? " Chow Yun Fat didn't submit to humiliation, so he went back on the spot.

Chow Yun Fat: "I don't know what the hell you're doing. Now this team can't accommodate the two of us. Either you go or I go! " Then arrange the assistant to pack up and get ready to go home. In fact, when I first joined the group, the relationship was still very good, but in the subsequent shooting process, the contradiction between the two became more and more serious.

Because Chow Yun Fat felt that he had too few roles, he became smaller and arranged to play more roles. However, Zhang Weiping objected to this. He thinks that there are already many plays in Chow Yun Fat, and if more plays are added, it will soon surpass Jay Chou. In this regard, the two began to oppose, and then a quarrel broke out. When Zhou Weiping saw Chow Yun Fat arrange his assistant to pack his bags, he didn't expect Chow Yun Fat to "play for real", so he became weak.

Clothes in Chow Yun Fat are more expensive. In order to better reflect the role of Wang, the crew made seven sets of costumes, all of which were glittering. Among them, dragon robe and golden armor are the most interesting. The golden armor is particularly gorgeous and gold-plated. Not only does the helmet have a three-dimensional dragon, but even the shoulders are designed with a three-dimensional dragon, which looks very light and particularly domineering.

More valuable than gold armor is the dragon robe. It took more than a month for more than 80 workers to finish it. The clothes are made of gold thread of 18K gold coins. Looks lighter than gold armor. Actually, it weighs 40kg, so it's not easy to wear. This suit is worth1250,000 yuan.

To be on the safe side, the crew specially built a safe as high as people to keep Chow Yun Fat's robes and gold armor, which are valuables and must not be lost.

Although the film score is not very high, he won many awards in fashion design, was nominated for the Oscar in a limited time, and then won the Saturn Award in the United States. I have to say that Zhang Yimou, as a famous director of the older generation, is really lacking in the details and scenes of the film.
