On January 19, 1905, the list of the main competition unit of the 72nd Berlin Film Festival was announced, and the film "Hidden in the Dust" directed by Li Ruijun was officially announced as a finalist, becoming the only Chinese film shortlisted this year. Lead actor Hai Qing was automatically shortlisted for the Silver Bear Award for Best Lead Actor. This is the second time that Haiqing's works have been shortlisted for the main competition of the International A-category Film Festival after the film "Blue Train" was shortlisted for the main competition unit of the 24th Tallinn Film Festival.
As a realistic northwest rural theme film, "Hidden in the Dust" tells the story of Guiying, a very unfortunate rural woman played by Haiqing, and Ma Youtiejin, who were introduced to life after marriage, they experienced the natural and simple labor life of the four seasons, harvested a bumper harvest of grain, and also gained understanding and love. It is reported that in order to better portray the role, Haiqing stayed in the crew of "Hidden in the Dust" for more than 10 months, and when he was not filming, he also stayed in the local area to experience life as much as possible. In the exposed materials, Haiqing contrasts greatly with the shape of previous film and television works, dressed in old age, showing the image of a real and simple rural woman, in which she is immersed in the role, and the ordinary people's emotions about life are firmly grasped.
Although the shortlist has only just been announced, this is also another certification of Haiqing's acting strength. Previously, Haiqing has starred in a number of well-known film and television works, and has created many deeply rooted roles. This time, her starring role in "Hidden in the Dust" was shortlisted for the main competition unit of the 72nd Berlin Film Festival, and she will also compete in the Silver Bear Award for Best Star in this session, believing that there will always be better results in her professional field. "Hidden in the Dust" has been scheduled for release on February 25, looking forward to Haiqing's wonderful interpretation in the film!
