Directed by Zhang Guoli and starring Fan Wei, Zhou Dongyu, Song Jia and other actors, the movie "Morning Clouds and Dusk Rain" will be released nationwide on May 17.
On May 15, director Zhang Guoli and starring Fan Wei came to Shenzhen, and after the screening, they had in-depth exchanges with the enthusiastic audience and media in Shenzhen, sharing the film's creative concept and shooting process.
The audience spontaneously burst into applause, and the audience praised the film for being high-class and restrained
Different from the fan show, the screening watched by the media was open to the theater, and audiences from different industries and different ages spontaneously burst into the same warm applause after the screening, expressing their recognition and love for the film.
Although the title of "Morning Clouds and Twilight Rain" is literary, it is actually a shocking and thought-provoking realistic movie. Lao Qin played by Fan Wei and Chang Juan played by Zhou Dongyu are both felons who have been released from prison. The two have their own needs when they enter marriage, Lao Qin asks for a son, hoping to marry Chang Juan to pass on the lineage; And Chang Juan asked for money, and she pointed out that she needed a bride price of 184,400 yuan.
However, after agreeing to each other, the two began to expose their true colors, fighting, hurting each other, and losing both, and the evil of human nature was vividly excavated by the movie.
The first half of the movie sends chills down the spine, the second half is warm and touching after the turn, and the open-ended ending at the end also leaves the audience with a lot of room for interpretation, no wonder the audience will recognize and like it.
In the interactive session after the screening, the audience enthusiastically shared, and some viewers thought that "Morning Clouds and Twilight Rain" was very "advanced", different from other commercial films that put the narrative center on crime elements, and the expression was quite restrained and not sensational. There are also many audiences who praised Fan Wei's performance as "superb", and Zhou Dongyu's performance also made a great breakthrough, and the vegetative performance in the second half was unforgettable.
Zhang Guoli interprets the title of the film, respects the audience and never compromises
There were also audience members at the scene who asked why the title of the film is "Morning Clouds and Dusk Rain"?
Zhang Guoli said that the movie is adapted from the true story "The Murderous Girl in a Wedding Dress", and it is obvious that if the movie uses this name, it will be more attractive and gimmicky, but it will also deviate from the original intention of his creation.
"Morning Clouds and Twilight Rain" is not a particularly commercial crime movie, Zhang Guoli launched a very clear creative policy as early as the script creation stage, can not add too many commercial elements, can not be separated from reality and stimulate the bridge, he believes that "The Murderous Girl in a Wedding Dress" If it is used as the title of the film, it will be more or less suspected of being the title party, so he gave up and adopted the name "Morning Cloud Twilight Rain".
Zhang Guoli also admitted that this will delay the promotion of the movie a little, but compared with publicity and box office, Zhang Guoli feels that it is more important to respect the audience, and cannot make the audience feel "cheated" after watching the movie.
In fact, this creative concept runs through the whole movie, which maintains the high quality and good reputation of the work.
"Morning Clouds and Twilight Rain" rarely focuses on the special group of people who have been released from prison, Fan Wei and Zhou Dongyu have contributed surprising performances, Chang Juan was once "the most serious prisoner" in prison, wearing a prison uniform, sometimes she closed her eyes and drenched in the rain, and sometimes looked up at the sky with a heavy heart. What was the motivation behind Chang Juan's juvenile murder in the first place? insisted on asking for a bride price of 184,400 yuan, what is the hidden meaning behind the zero and whole numbers? Fate has taken a sharp turn, where will the lives of the two go? All the suspense will be revealed when it is released on May 17, and I wish the film excellent box office results.
