It is worth mentioning that the film is also the first film work in which Dou Jingtong has played the female lead. At the press conference, she admitted that she had been nervous before the shooting, and even had some "frightened" emotions. "This is my first starring film, and I think I'm very lucky because I've been very close to the director and I've known each other before, so there was some tension before shooting, but the tacit understanding and tolerance between the director and the whole team allowed me to gradually build up confidence during the shooting process," Dou Jingtong said.
In addition to starring in the program, Dou Jingtong also sang the theme song of the film "Paradise". So, which is more comfortable acting or singing? Dou Jingtong said that although it is the first time to play the heroine, the creation and singing of this music is more stressful, "I am grateful to the director for giving me a lot of space and freedom to create, of course, on the basis of what I want to express for the film." But I may have more concepts and ideas in more familiar areas, so it will be more complicated."
Director Li Mengqiao recalled the creative process, in her view, this is an emotionally dominated film, more emphasis on the character fit, and this fit represents the "open heart", whether you have the courage to stop and examine your life. "Tong Tong is the kind of person who dares to look back at himself," Mr. Li said.
The various fragments of dreams and reality in "Just a Chance Trip" have impressed many audiences, which also constitutes the uniqueness of the film out of traditional narrative logic. "Old drama bone" Wang Zhiwen also starred in the film. When it comes to his feelings about this movie, he describes it as "not following the routine".
"I don't think this movie can really be read in the usual way of reading movies, it's a very free film, and I feel very strange throughout the whole process of watching the movie." I think you all here will feel this way, and it's really difficult for you to find the same routine that you used to watch movies in the movie," Wang Zhiwen said.
It is reported that the movie "Just a Fortuitous Trip" will officially land in theaters nationwide on the 18th. (End)
