On the morning of April 20, directed by young director Zhang Chi, starring Zhong Xintong, Lin Dongfu and Zhao Yurui, and Tao Huimin's special theatrical film "Perfect Farewell" was held in the new building of Ningbo Radio and Television Group on the south bank of the Yongjiang River.
The opening ceremony of "Perfect Goodbye".
The movie "Perfect Farewell" is based on the theme of "palliative care", and uses warm and healing brushstrokes to tell the story of Ying Nuo (played by Zhong Xintong), a terminally ill single mother, who calmly completed the last journey of her life accompanied by her daughter Didiu (played by Zhao Yurui) and her father Ying Dahai (played by Lin Dongfu).
Focusing on the shackles of family affection of three generations, with the fetters and emotional collisions in Chinese-style family relationships, through the character process of "destruction-alienation-return-understanding", the film will show the father-daughter relationship, mother-daughter relationship, and grandfather-grandson relationship of the three generations, not only the reconciliation of father-daughter family affection, but also the self-reconciliation of understanding death and accepting death after experiencing a unique individual life experience.
Zhong Xintong
Zhong Xintong, a film and television singer and a member of the women's singing group Twins, "Gillian", plays a terminally ill single mother in the film. Leaving her hometown when she was young, wandering alone in the big city with a tenacity, and relying on her daughter for her life, Gillian is performing a realistic theme that is in great contrast with the past, which is also the first time that the beautiful Gillian has played a single mother in a movie, which is very different from the screen roles she has created before. She bluntly said that this is a new challenge, and she hopes to break through herself again in this film.
In the film, Ying Nuo's father Ying Dahai is played by Lin Dongfu, an actor, host and voice actor of the Shanghai Dramatic Art Center. The intellectual, gentle, open-minded and friendly role of "Director Yan" in the film is played by Tao Huimin, a Yue Opera actor and national first-class actor who won the Best Actress Award at the 15th China TV "Golden Eagle Award".
On the morning of April 16, the main creator and starring of the movie "Perfect Farewell" walked into the palliative care ward of the Minglou Dongsheng Branch of the Yinzhou People's Hospital, and at the same time had an in-depth understanding of nursing knowledge, he fulfilled his wish for the patient - Zhong Xintong put on a brand-new woolen hat for an old man, Lin Dongfu cut a cake for an old man, and everyone sang "Dongfang Hong" in unison at the request of the patient......
On the morning of the 20th, after the start-up ceremony, the guests watched the first day of shooting of the film crew of "Perfect Farewell" in the XR virtual studio of Ningbo Radio and Television Group. As the first and only extended reality virtual studio in Ningbo with Disguise rendering and broadcast control technology as the main body, scene replacement and screen correction are fast and efficient, and the immersive live experience seamlessly integrates the physical scene with the pre-shot environment, so that the actors and creative team can see and react to the CGI world in real time in the studio, and the actors' performances are more realistic and engaging.
Filming scene
Director Zhang Chi won the Special Jury Award of the Main Competition Unit of the Moscow International Film Festival for "Sea Animals", and was shortlisted for the first feature unit of the CAMERIMAGE Film Festival in Poland, and the film "White Fog Mystery Shore" was shortlisted for the feature film main competition unit of the 10th First Youth Film Festival. Zhang Chi is good at excavating the relationship between people, life and environment, as a native of Ningbo, he also regards "Perfect Farewell" as a tribute to life and a love song dedicated to his hometown - in addition to Ningbo's street scene dialect, lifestyle, food characteristics, etc., he also projects his feelings about the development and changes of his hometown and his attachment to his homeland in the film, and shows the spiritual characteristics and fireworks of Ningbo through the implementation of every detail.
Life and death are inescapable of life for everyone, but "palliative care" is still unfamiliar to many people. The film explores many topics of life - how to complete the final journey of life with dignity and calmness, how to comfort the patient's family, how to accept the death of a loved one safely, and how to care for and respect life, I believe that "Perfect Farewell" will bring new thinking and inspiration to the audience.
