Guo Jingming said frankly, ""Qingya Collection" is the film with the longest preparation time, and it has been a long time since my last movie, and "Yin and Yang Division" is a well-known IP, and my pressure is also very large. ”
At the premiere scene, Guo Jingming also gave high praise to the actors he cooperated with, saying that "the actors have created characters with distinct personalities, and everyone's performance has added a lot of color to the film."
Zhao Youting: Being selected by Guo Jingming shows that I am "good look online"
Zhao Youting, who plays Qingming, said that he was initially moved by Guo Jingming's script, and after learning that Guo Jingming's choice of male actors has always had very high requirements for appearance, Zhao Youting said that the happiest thing when he was selected was, "It means that my appearance should be online." He also revealed that he "put a lot of effort" for this play, "The director did not have too many adjustments to my acting skills, that is, he asked me to be thin and white, so the biggest homework in filming this play was to lose weight and apply a whitening mask." I'm proud to have made such a movie. ”

Guo Jingming revealed that the reason why he chose Zhao Youting was that "he is a rare actor with good looks and performance strength, Qingming is a very complex role, and he needs to have the beauty of oriental classics."
Deng Lun: There's a kind of "silly and self-aware stupidity"
"Qingya Collection" is a story of two males juxtaposed, after identifying Zhao Youting, Guo Jingming originally wanted to find a boya with a greater contrast with Zhao Youting, such as "thick eyebrows and big eyes". But after participating in "The Great Escape Room" with Deng Lun, Guo Jingming found that Deng Lun had a kind of "silly and unconscious stupidity", "obsessive-compulsive, serious, and specially similar to the character of Boya." So Guo Jingming ruled out almost all the "traffic students" he had seen that year, and chose Deng Lun, who had never acted in a movie.

"Thank you to the director for daring to use me, someone who has never made a movie before." Deng Lun also shared his feelings about making a film for the first time at the scene, "Eight months of shooting, gave me a very good lesson, let me really know the film, whether it is shooting or pre-preparation, enjoy the process." He also revealed, "Director Guo Jingming has opened up a lot of new brain holes for me, and his superiority is that he will look at many problems from many dimensions." ”
However, because the role to be portrayed is more "high and cold", the action and state scenes were filmed for more than ten consecutive days, Deng Lun was stunned that he did not say a line for more than ten days, so he asked the director, "Do I really have lines?" ”
In addition, the law of "must be naked" in Guo Jingming's film still continues to "Qingya Collection". Actor Wang Duo revealed that in order to make the naked fight in the film look good, he and Deng Lun were both required by the director to work out fiercely.
At the same time, Guo Jingming also revealed at the scene that the second part of "Qingya Collection" has been filmed together with the first part, "In the second part, Deng Lun's role will be very critical, and the relationship between Qingming and Boya will become very complicated." Deng Lun was also abused enough, crying, hurting, in short, very miserable. ”
