China Entertainment’s Born Protagonist

Chapter 254 Tea-making Immortal Zhang Nanyi

Memoirs of a Geisha is also a film that can cause dissatisfaction among audiences in both China and Japan.

The Chinese audience feels that it is shameless for their famous actors to play Japanese geishas. The Japanese people feel that the stories of their country should be played by Japanese female artists. Why should Chinese people be used to play the roles? Are there no actresses in Japan?
It is said that Spielberg originally asked Zhang Manyu to play the heroine, but Zhang Manyu rejected it. So Zhang Ziyi seized the opportunity and faced the difficulties. With Memoirs of a Geisha, she opened up a very delicate situation in Hollywood, and has since won international awards. title.

Hearing Zhang Nanyi's words, Zhang Ziyi was very proud and couldn't stop the smile at the corner of his mouth. It can only be said that this woman is a bit cruel, but her brain is not particularly good.

I didn't hear the sarcasm in Zhang Nanyi's words.

Zhang Yimou ignored Zhang Ziyi, but continued to persuade: "You are very popular now, but you are also very weak.

You don’t get many awards and you don’t have enough coffee spots.

Movies are the real art of light and shadow. You have to act in more movies to improve your status.

There are too many dramas that make no sense.

Look at Ziyi, she has never acted in a TV series. Relying on movies to go global is the most correct development path for a good actor.

You must not think that you are young. There will be many opportunities in the future. In fact, an actor only has one or two development opportunities in his lifetime. You must choose each drama carefully and plan your career reasonably. "

Zhang Ziyi has been very busy recently. Wang Jiawei's movie "2046," in which she stars, is about to be released, which is the promotion period.

And she also has two dramas on hand.

However, Zhang Yimou invited Zhang Ziyi, as Director Zhang's personal cotton-padded jacket, to take time out of his busy schedule to attend this tea party.

Zhang Yimou brought Zhang Ziyi here just to use Zhang Ziyi as an example to persuade Zhang Nanyi to give up The Legend of the Condor Heroes and film A Thousand Miles Alone from the perspective of going international.

Without opening your eyes, Zhang Yimou's rhetoric is actually very reasonable, and most actors will be moved after hearing it.

It’s just that Zhang Nanyi knows very well that the international chapter is about to decline from its peak and its reputation will collapse.

It's not that easy to get along in Hollywood. She stayed there for several years, leaving only a pile of dirty stuff and a laughing stock, and she returned to China in dejection to develop her career.

After returning to China, Zhang Ziyi still has some status and personality, but she has never acted in a TV series, her national popularity is not high, and her popularity with the audience is also very poor. The real situation is very difficult.

Zhang Nanyi has a plan for his own development, and it is not Zhang Yimou's turn to intervene.

So he said: "No one can stand without faith. I have promised my uncle that if I want to play the role of The Legend of the Condor Heroes, I will not break my promise.

I also want to cooperate with Director Zhang, but I can only say that it is a pity.

If I have the opportunity in the future, I must cooperate with Director Zhang once to make up for this regret. "

After Zhang Nanyi said this, Zhang Yimou had to give up. He began to think about other candidates for the second male lead, so he became dull.

However, the atmosphere of the tea party was not bad. Zhang Yimou did not speak, and Zhang Nanyi began to dominate the conversation.

He didn't talk about movies, but about tea culture.

After the conversation, Zhang Nanyi personally went to the battle and made tea for everyone.

The tea ceremony itself is a comprehensive experience. An ugly man making tea and a handsome man making tea give people completely different feelings.Zhang Nanyi makes tea. In addition to his strong micro-management ability, he is also blessed by his appearance.

He is handsome, has beautiful palms, slender fingers and well-defined knuckles, which are more than enough to be used as a hand model.

Therefore, Zhang Nanyi may not be as rigorous in the process of making tea as a tea artist, but his techniques and pictures are more beautiful, and his every move has the style of a master, which gave Zhang Ziyi and the two Japanese people a little shock.

After getting excited, Jiang Qi Yasuan enthusiastically took out his camera and took a picture of Zhang Nanyi making tea.

Even Zhang Yimou, who was frowning, saw Zhang Nanyi's tea-making skills and put down his worries and concentrated on drinking tea.

After drinking the tea made by Zhang Nanyi, Zhang Yimou said directly: "Mr. Zhang, your tea making skills are even better than the tea masters here.

The tea you brew will taste more mellow and meaningful. "

"It's true." Zhang Ziyi agreed slightly artificially, "With the same tea leaves and spring water, the tea made by Mr. Zhang tastes better."

Zhang Nanyi deliberately joked: "I am very good at teasing. This may be something that people all over the country know. You don't need to emphasize or praise me anymore."

Everyone knew that Zhang Nanyi was talking about picking up girls. Hearing Zhang Nanyi's joke, Zhang Yimou laughed out loud, and the discomfort after being rejected completely disappeared.

Under Zhang Nanyi's guidance, although the meeting did not result in cooperation, the overall atmosphere was good.

After the tea party, Yasuo Fanghata said respectfully: "Nan Yijun, I want to share this video of you making tea on my blog. Do you agree?"

Zhang Nanyi shrugged his shoulders and said: "It doesn't matter, you can post it if you want, but you'd better pay attention to your wording and be careful not to attract criticism."

In Japan, tea ceremony culture is very popular. Japanese officials interpret tea ceremony culture as an important part of Japanese culture, which shows the status of tea ceremony in Japan.

Japan is originally a hypocritical and formal country, and they have not learned the essence of Chinese tea ceremony culture.

In the tea ceremony, they pay more attention to delicacy and etiquette. In the process of making tea, every action has its own specific meaning and requirements.

From preparing tea sets, making tea soup, serving tea and tasting, every process needs to follow rules and procedures, and no mistakes can be made.

If something goes wrong, it will tarnish the tea ceremony culture.

Japan's tea ceremony culture has developed to this day, and even the clothes and jewelry worn when making tea have corresponding rules.

But the Japanese people have not learned the most precious things about tea culture, including the taste of tea itself, the beauty of making tea, and the emotional exchange and cultural communication behind tea culture.

It can be said to be abandoning the roots and chasing the tail, buying the casket and returning the pearl.

But what is even more bizarre is that many people in China will advocate the Japanese tea ceremony culture and in turn introduce the Japanese tea ceremony culture in order to make profits.Zhang Nanyi knew about the pathology of Japanese tea ceremony culture, so he reminded Yasuo Fangqi to pay attention. After all, Zhang Nanyi did not follow the so-called norms when making tea.

If this video is seen by the so-called "tea-making immortals" of Japanese tea ceremony, it will definitely attract criticism.

Yasuo Fanghata said seriously: "I used to think that the Japanese tea ceremony was very exquisite, but after experiencing your tea making, I understood what the real tea culture is.

I will express my feelings truthfully and will not hesitate to be criticized. "

"whatever."

Zhang Nanyi said hello to Zhang Yimou and immediately withdrew.

He also wants to watch the movie Time Travelers and explore the art of love movies with the four beauties, Yu Feihong, Xu Qing, Li Xiaoran and Gao Yuanyuan.

That night, Zhang Nanyi was very immersed in exchanging film art with the beauties.

At the same time, the blog published by Yasuo Fanghata began to attract attention in Japan and gradually caused great controversy.

The title of Yasao Fanghata’s blog post is straightforward.

"Today I was fortunate enough to witness Nan Yijun making tea live, and I realized that the real tea ceremony culture is in China and not in Japan."

The article tells how he and Takakura Ken came to China because they collaborated on a movie with the great Chinese director Zhang Yi, and invited Zhang Nanyi to star in the movie, and then truly described the on-site experience of Zhang Nanyi making tea. He also said that Zhang Nanyi is the real tea ceremony sage, and that Japan’s tea ceremony culture is superficial and has lost its spiritual core.

At the end of the article, a video of Zhang Nanyi making tea is attached.

This blog post was also forwarded and liked by Takakura Ken.

Yasuo Hirohata is a great director in Japan. He has won many awards. He is considered a golden partner with Ken Takakura. Both of them are representative figures of Japan's Showa era and are very popular in Japan.

In addition, the topic involves Zhang Nanyi, who is also very popular in Japan, and the Japanese tea ceremony culture is discussed, involving the dispute between Japan and China's tea ceremony culture.

This blog post quickly caused huge controversy in Japan.

Tea ceremony culture is national culture in Japan, and many Japanese people are proud of it. Many Japanese people believe that there is no tea ceremony culture in China.

The true tea ceremony culture took root in Japan and flourished.

Now Yasuno Fengqi said that the Japanese tea ceremony culture was superficial and praised Zhang Nanyi's tea-making techniques, which instantly aroused the dissatisfaction of many people.

Especially those professional tea ceremony people, after watching Zhang Nanyi's tea making video, they found a lot of mistakes.

From the way he dressed, to the procedure of making tea, and even the way he handed the tea, he criticized everything.

However, there are also many people who support lowering the flag, especially young people, who left comments under the blog post.

"I don't understand tea ceremony culture, but after watching the video of Nan Yijun making tea, it was really elegant, full of beauty, and pleasing to the eye."

"It's true. It was originally a very boring video, but I actually watched it with all my concentration and watched it several times. It's amazing."

"I have to say that Nan Yijun is a real tea-making immortal. He made me interested in tea ceremony culture."

"Nan Yijun is so handsome, and his hands are so beautiful. I have saved this video. When can Nan Yijun come to Japan again!"

"The tea ceremony originated from China. I don't understand why our country's tea ceremony experts are so arrogant."

"Yes, the procedures for making tea in our country have become more and more cumbersome. You even have to shower and change clothes. You have lost the original joy of drinking tea."

……

With the fermentation of public opinion, the debate on tea ceremony culture has become the hottest topic in Japan, and all walks of life are discussing this matter.

More and more Japanese people have seen the video of Zhang Nanyi making tea.

Major media in Japan have also noticed this popularity, and many TV programs have launched investigations and discussions on the topic of tea ceremony culture.

With various debates and popularization, quite a few Japanese people began to believe that tea ceremony culture originated from China, and the final right of interpretation should be with China.

TV Asahi was even more ruthless. Mimoko Ishisai found Zhang Nanyi and asked Zhang Nanyi to record a complete video of making tea. This time Zhang Nanyi was more prepared, and the video was clearer and more aesthetic.

Then they found a Japanese tea ceremony master and recorded the most perfect and standardized tea-making etiquette in Japan.

In the program, TV Asahi made a detailed comparison of the two videos and asked the audience to choose which one they preferred. 82% of the audience preferred Zhang Nanyi's tea making method.

Japanese public opinion tends to support Zhang Nanyi more and more, and this trend has also been discovered by the younger generation of Japanese tea ceremony practitioners.

They felt this was an opportunity, so they initiated the Japanese tea ceremony cultural reform, advocating learning from China, returning to the essence of tea culture, simplifying the process, focusing on the quality of tea, and communication between people when making tea.

Zhang Nanyi himself could not have imagined that just a meeting with Zhang Yimou and a chance to make tea would change the Japanese people's understanding of tea ceremony culture and promote the reform of Japanese tea ceremony culture.

This has caused Zhang Nanyi's popularity in Japan to skyrocket. His popularity in Japan before was barely on the front line, but now he has become almost a well-known figure in Japan.

Many Japanese people's first impression of Zhang Nanyi is that of a tea ceremony master, not a star artist.

All I can say is that sometimes becoming popular is a very mysterious thing.

This tea ceremony cultural reform event in Japan was also reported in Goryeo. Not only in Goryeo, but also in China, it was promoted with great fanfare.

This is a major event in which Chinese people have influenced Japanese culture. Of course, the official government must focus on publicity and reporting.
