Stills from "My Father Jiao Yulu".

"Moviegoers across the country, you can miss a good movie, but you can't miss a good father. We are not afraid to watch this play, afraid not to watch! The night before, the movie "My Father Jiao Yulu" held its premiere in Beijing, and the chief producer, Jiao Yulu's grandson Yu Yin, was full of confidence and recommended this biopic to everyone. The film's screenwriter Gao Mantang and director Fan Yuan appeared with the lead actors Guo Xiaodong, Ding Liuyuan and Yan Xiaopin to communicate with the audience. Jiao Yulu's second daughter Jiao Shouyun also came to the scene.

"My Father Jiao Yulu" reviews his short and glorious life from the three different angles of "a party member", "a cadre", and "a relative", through the three periods of Jiao Yulu's "Luo Mining Construction Initial Achievements", "Lankao War Three Harms", and "Boshan Life and Death Farewell". Jiao Yulu was unable to leave a family portrait with his family when he was alive, but in "My Father Jiao Yulu", the lead actors Guo Xiaodong, Ding Liuyuan and several small actors used light and shadow to realize the regret of Jiao Yulu's children.

Jiao Shouyun, the film's executive producer and jiao Yulu's second daughter, revealed that in 2016, she and her family wanted to make another movie about her father, more comprehensively and three-dimensionally expressing several experiences in her father's life, and also leaving a real image of Jiao Yulu for future generations. "After 5 years of preparation and creation, today I finally handed over this assignment, using a new film language and perspective to interpret the 42-year life of a father, a party member, and a leading cadre."

"After watching this movie, I was really in tears, I haven't been so moved in many years!" Gao Mantang sighed that as a playwright, he was actually very good at controlling feelings, but now he really couldn't control it. He said that when Jiao Yulu died in 1964, he was only 9 years old, and he had been listening to Secretary Jiao's story since he grew up, but "I never expected that nearly 60 years later, I would come to adapt this movie!" "He confessed that the reason why Jiao Yulu's spirit can travel through the long river of time and infect today's audience is because he is a good person." Our times need good people, and this movie gave me a spiritual baptism and a spur to me. ”

31 years ago, the movie "Jiao Yulu", directed by Wang Jixing and starring Li Xuejian, was regarded as a classic of a generation. With such a pearl in the past, Fan Yuan, the director of "My Father Jiao Yulu", felt a lot of pressure, he used to spend several months, every night, just want to shoot how to shoot. Fortunately, the "second sister" Jiao Shouyun told him a lot of details that her father did not know in her heart. In addition, the main actors of this movie are very devoted. Guo Xiaodong, who plays Jiao Yulu, pushed down all the film contracts 5 months in advance and began to experience life and lose weight. "We just started filming the scene at the end of the film where Jiao Yulu bid farewell to his mother and died in the hospital, which was a great challenge to the actors. During that time, Guo Xiaodong did not eat or drink, and when he went to shoot the hospital scene, he did not even sleep, and he stayed up every day, looking for the state when Secretary Jiao was dying. ”

In this regard, Guo Xiaodong said that playing Jiao Yulu is a spiritual baptism process: "It is an honor to be able to star as my spiritual idol, what a great honor! ”
