For the "first show" of his first director’s work, Bo Huang didn’t pay much attention to it. The team even spent three days setting up the conference site to give the media a brand-new "immersive experience". Yesterday, "Director Bo Huang’s Film Experience Meeting" was held in China Director Center. The scene was wrapped by LED screens, and the pictures came from all directions, with despair in the wind and rain, and some people were full of meaningful smiles. Bo Huang was obviously satisfied with everyone’s expression after the "experience". He said that his film was conceived in 2010, and now it has finally been completed and will be released this summer. However, until now, he is still struggling with the title of this "Virgo’s debut".
After winning the Best Actor at the Shanghai Film Festival last year, Bo Huang revealed that he was preparing his directorial debut. After that, the film was exposed to a low-key boot in his hometown of Qingdao, with actors such as Shu Qi, Wang Baoqiang, Wang Xun, Yu Hewei and LAY. Yesterday, in addition to Yu Hewei, several founders also came to the scene to help Bo Huang.
Movies around "Hypothesis"
Regarding the plot, Bo Huang revealed that the film revolves around an assumption: Suppose that one day, because of a disaster, the world is left with only these people around you, how will everyone continue to live? At this time, even the rules and regulations no longer exist. You can do whatever you want, but so can others. "Is money still useful at this time? In what form will power be generated? Does love still exist? These are what you will see in the movie. "
In the film, Li Youlin plays the role of company consultant, and LAY plays Xiaoxing, a car mechanic. Wang Baoqiang introduced himself as the "King" in the play, "Began to call ‘ Xiao Wang ’ Later the fine print was removed. " Shu Qi plays Shanshan, who is in charge of market research in the company, Wang Xun plays the director of the office, and Li Qinqin plays the cleaner in the company: "I am enthusiastic and get along well with everyone. They all call me Qi Jie enthusiastically." It can be speculated that the film will focus on several people in the company to deal with this "end of the world."
Discussion on "Doomsday"
What if the end of the world really happens in life? Wang Baoqiang admits that the first choice is to live. "The first choice is how to survive. I am responsible for playing Xiao Wang in the film. If this really happens in my life, I will still bring out my best at this moment. If you have a stronger ability to survive than others, you have an obligation to help others. " Young LAY thinks that trust between people is very important: "If there is no trust, it will make me feel like the end of the world." Bo Huang praised LAY as a kind boy, and advised him not to work too hard, and to leave some time for life and love, because youth is short. Shu Qi immediately said: "Yes, artistic prosperity, love, love is really very important. No matter what kind of environment, love is the center of a survival value, so love is very important, so we should bravely pursue love."
For the words of trust and love that everyone said, Wang Xun thinks that they think too well. "If the end of the world really comes, people will have two extremes, either getting better and worse. This is something that needs to be faced. I am talking about human nature."
Adjustment around "danger"
And all this will be what Bo Huang wants to discuss in the film. He said that the idea of this script was in 2010. After filming the movie "Looking for the Dragon", he began to cut production, and he has been doing the script, preparation and preparation work. After many experiences, he finally saw the dawn.
"I want to stop after filming" Searching for Dragons ". There may be a sense of danger, and I feel that it is not good to shoot like this all the time. The so-called acting skills are sometimes quite harmful. When we don’t have it, we need it to support our performance, but when we get more slowly, we will find that these three axes seem to be able to cope with all the roles. This is some actors. At first, people thought they were doing well, but gradually they lost it. I’m also afraid that this will slowly cover my neck, because it’s too simple and easy. You’re safe, and the audience loves you. But after a long time, it was never interesting and began to feel a little scary, which was broken. So start with Dear and try to make some adjustments and changes. You don’t have to be so passionate, so unrestrained, so crying, that is, use the most common lines to outline a character that everyone can agree with and feel. "
An attempt around "risk"
In recent years, "directing by acting well" has become quite popular. Bo Huang also revealed that many people did come to him to be a director before, but if it was just for the sake of adding the word "director" in front of "Bo Huang", it would be of little significance to him. If you really want to be a director, you must really like it in your heart, and you can feel excited and happy: "I think this movie I made is particularly interesting, and I will be excited when I think about it." I think this movie is different from other movies. In fact, it is difficult for me, because the roles of director and actor need to be changed back and forth subjectively and objectively, which is a bit torturous. Of course, there will be some risks in being a director. I could have made a few insurance plays comfortably. Being a director is to make trouble for myself, but I am willing to give it a try because I like it and I want to find that excitement again. Trying will be risky, and it is normal to be prepared to face the results of failure. "
As to why it took so long to polish this film, Bo Huang compared it with carving jade: "Sometimes the jade itself is good, and sometimes it is rough, but it is a good jade, and it can be polished better. This is the reason for filming. I want to leave more time to do better in the later stage. I don’t miss this time and make it better. "
