The film "I Am a Passerby" directed by the famous Hong Kong director Er Dongsheng will be released nationwide on July 3. Yesterday afternoon, the film starring a group of actors struggling in Hengdian Film and Television City, Zhejiang Province, held its premiere in Han, and the grounded story and real emotions in the film made the scene after the film's test screening sounded warm applause. Director Er Dongsheng also brought Wan Guopeng, Wang Ting and other 6 "passers-by" starring in the press conference, in an interview with reporters, in the face of this work that may rewrite the fate of this group of "passers-by" actors, Er Dongsheng bluntly said that he was actually worried: "I am afraid of changing the fate of these people, I am not afraid of their success, I am afraid that they are not successful." ”

It's not just about the life of a group performer

The male audience burst into tears twice

In China's current film environment, "I am a passerby" does seem a little out of place: the film is different from the general film to enable big stars to support the big beam, several of the protagonists of the film are mass actors struggling in Zhejiang Hengdian Film and Television City, and they all appear in the film with real names, and the film content is also around them as "passers-by" for so many years, which happened to themselves about love and dreams.

Another difference in the film is that many big-name stars and famous directors make cameos in the film, in the film we can see Yuan Yongyi, Wu Yanzu, Feng Delun, Fang Zhongxin, such stars to these green leaf actors to play, and including Liu Weiqiang, Mak Zhaohui, Zhuang Wenqiang, Xu Anhua also appeared in the film, the true color of the director role - so if you are very interested in the film circle, the film will bring you surprises from time to time.

On the test screening yesterday, the story of the film derived from the real experience of several extras is very gripping, the grounded plot frequently triggers laughter, and the emotional sincerity is extremely touching.

In the film, the group actors have been chasing dreams in Hengdian for many years, some of them can't get the opportunity to show their faces because of ugliness, some are handsome but look down on small roles and like to be lazy, and some are even suffering from neuropathy for the star dream family breakdown... These stories about dreams not only make those who have star dreams feel a lot, but also easy to resonate with young people who are confused and looking for dreams, and after the test screening, some young male audiences stood up and said that the film shocked themselves, and more generously admitted that they had two tears when watching the film.

Er Dongsheng took the "pension" to make a film

Talking about box office "resigned to fate"

Whether it is the early tear bomb "New Can't Love", or in recent years, "Disciple", "King of Guns", "Eavesdropping" series and other commercial blockbusters, whether it is hanging "director" or "supervising producer", Er Dongsheng has never let people worry about the box office of his films, but this time "I am a passerby" does make people pinch a sweat for him - the reason is simple: none of the main actors are stars.

The film is about to be released nationwide on July 3, in the face of the "summer file" this tragic degree comparable to the "New Year file" of the film schedule, Er Dongsheng seems to be less willing to talk about box office expectations, when the media asked this question, the director smiled strangely at the corner of his mouth and threw out four words: "Resigned to fate." ”

Resigned to fate, it is not that the director does not value the box office - Er Dongsheng revealed that because this film without a star lineup is difficult to find investment, the other side is worried that investment will limit their own creation, he is "taking out all his pension" to make this film, and his wife, who is the film's producer, almost fainted when she heard the news.

But Er Dongsheng insisted on making the movie: "On June 30, I was in the industry for the 40th anniversary, and there are two days left, this thing has meaning to me." The text of this movie has 1 million words, this group of young people who are drifting around is very brave, there is an actor who is still an orphan, I was touched by them, it was they who made me have a reflection at this age. ”

At the same time, the director said that he hoped that his play would not mislead young people: "There were many 'horizontal drifts' in the previous interviews, saying that the reason why they came to Hengdian was to be harmed by Wang Bao. I was afraid that when the time came, they would choose this path, and they would also say that they were harmed by Er Dongsheng and harmed by "Passerby A". ”

Er Dongsheng said that in fact, at the beginning, he was also very hesitant, "I am afraid of changing the fate of these people, I am not afraid of their success, I am afraid of not succeeding." Because the most terrible place in Hengdian is all kinds of envy and jealousy, after filming this play, some of the protagonists are also a little fluttery, but I explained to them that I have no responsibility for them, and now I just give you a chance, but life is very long. You look at Wu Jing, how many years of playing the villain to survive out, many actors are how many years to say that they are acting, so this group of actors, I am worried about their psychological endurance. ”
