The real brushstrokes are the most shocking
Uncover the untold stories behind your creations
The movie "Under the White Sun" is adapted from real events, and from the perspective of journalist Ling Xiaoqi, it uncovers the dark truth hidden under the disabled home. The film was inspired by a "nursing home abuse" news that shocked Hong Kong, China, and the script also references a number of sensational real stories in Hong Kong.
When talking about the original intention of creating this film at the premiere, director Jian Junjin said frankly: "It's actually been 6 years until today, when I first saw the news...... I was angry, I had some feelings that I wanted to record, and I asked myself, what can I do as a filmmaker?"
Real events give the film a touch of realism, but what is explored in the film is not only the case itself, but also the humanity and crime hidden behind the case. When the fig leaf of reality is brutally cut, the movie exposes the bloody humanity and sin in front of the audience, and the images on the screen gradually overlap with reality, allowing the movie to reach people's hearts through the screen.
"Has the world gotten better? I think a little bit. It doesn't seem like much has changed now, but the heart has changed. The director's sincere expression at the premiere also received lasting and warm applause from the audience. At the end of the show, the audience spontaneously pasted a small red flower on the movie poster of "Xiaoling", which not only confirmed the director's feelings, but also the most authentic feedback from the audience who had watched the movie to the movie.
After the screening, the interactive creator communicated sincerely with the audience
The premiere was well received by the audience
After the film screening, the main creators were all present to listen to the audience's speeches and sincerely communicate and discuss with the audience. "Touched", "Meaningful", "Impressed", "Real", ...... These words were repeated by the audience during the exchange.
"Under the White Sun" not only has high requirements for story creation, but also a challenge for the actors' performances. In the post-screening interaction, the audience bluntly said that Lin Baoyi's "image is subverted", and praised the image of "Dean" for making a great contribution to the realism and powerlessness of the film. Lin Baoyi faced the audience's appreciation and replied frankly: "I have never played this kind of role...... There's a lot of room for this character to be created." In order to get closer to the real characters, both the director and each of the leading actors are constantly digging out the characters, and presenting the audience with more powerful truth and depth with sincere creations and performances.
At the premiere ceremony, the main creators talked about their thoughts and feelings about "Under the White Sun" off the screen, exploring the social significance brought by creation. "Maybe we tried a thousand times to no avail, but maybe we can change this time", this not only represents the ideals and persistence of the reporters in the film, but also the common belief of the entire main creative team. As Liang Yongting, the actor of Xiaoling in the post-screening exchange, said: "I hope everyone's life can be treated kindly." ”
When the audience asked about the main creative team's "favorite scene", directors Jian Junjin, Jiang David, and Yu Xiangning all chose the dialogue in the rainstorm at the end of the movie. "Don't feel guilty for doing the right thing", the unremitting insistence of the reporter in the film makes the truth exposed in the daylight, even if they are blamed and scolded, there are still staunch idealists in the pursuit of justice and kindness. It is precisely because of the unremitting perseverance and hard work of all the creative staff that such a real film can come to the audience, and it also allows the public to repay attention to the reality in the dark and the living conditions of the disadvantaged.
"Under the White Sun" is produced by Er Dongsheng, starring Jiang David, Yu Xiangning, Lin Baoyi, Liang Zhongheng, Chen Zhanwen, Zhou Hanning, Liang Yongting, Gong Cien, Bao Peiru, Zhu Baiqian, Zhu Baikang, Xu Yuexiang, etc., will be released nationwide on April 12.
