"The Long Confession" describes emotions that are as long and rippled as the waves of water.

Xin Baiqing has played many bookish roles in the past, and this time he also sincerely thanked the director, "I was very lucky to let the director see it, dig out the other side of me, this role has romance in his heart, but he has to bow to life, is a very helpless middle-aged image." Asked about the biggest challenge during filming, Xin Baiqing bluntly said that it was dancing, "Dance is crucial, running through the emotional bond of three people, very worried that I did not act well, and practiced almost every day in the month before the start of filming, so it was polished into the way it is now."
Zhang Lu
Director Zhang Lu's name may be a bit "unpopular" in the domestic general audience. As a post-60s Chinese Korean writer who has been writing and teaching in South Korea for a long time, his directorial career began in 2000. It is undeniable that it has attracted the attention of more young fans because of a series of films created in South Korea since 2012. His works always present a beautiful texture like a picture scroll through the capture of lens and space, and the director believes that the lens is the gaze, "The gaze has a temperature, and the temperature determines the degree to which the space corresponds to you." I'm used to being alone with space before shooting, and let emotions slowly rise."
In Zhang Lu's view, the title of the film is very romantic, "the time dimension represented by 'long' has a dense texture, which can highlight the sincerity of emotion." The first time to cooperate with this group of actors, the director gave them a very unique evaluation at the press conference, and the love was overflowing, "In the play, Ni Ni is dashing and handsome, the king's style, Zhang Luyi's beautiful mourning and still water, Xin Baiqing's charming style, I can't imagine that they are not playing, they and the role are completely integrated." ”
"The Long Confession" received a lot of praise at the two screenings of the Xiamen Golden Rooster Film Festival, and some viewers praised the film details for portraying the real poke, "A love prose poem in the city roaming, beautiful and profound, beautiful and decisive." "Congratulations nini for unlocking the new genre, another unforgettable character is born, and you will be drunk in her eyes."
