Poster of "Cold Single"
The movie "Cold Single" is set in the Taitung folk custom "Fried Cold Single". Every year during the Lantern Festival, people in Taitung will elect several men to serve as the flesh of Han Danye, naked and bombarded by artillery, in order to seek wealth, wish or atone for sins. "Cold Single" is about a crime related to the cannon battle, subverting the lives of several characters. Brotherly righteousness, jianghu storms, low-level suffering, emotional entanglements... The director integrates traditional folklore into the core of redemption and humanity, and tells the story on the big screen. "Cold Single" was released in Taiwan on January 23, 2019, and won the box office of Taiwan's Chinese New Year films.
Stills from "Cold Single"
At the meeting after the screening of the Beijing Film Festival, director Huang Chaoliang told the story of the team's more than five years of in-depth study of cross-strait folk culture and preparations for filming behind the scenes. "This filming of "Cold Single" hopes to bring the audience a completely different experience, present some problems at the bottom of Taiwan, and pay attention to the stories of small people." The custom of the director talking about "fried cold orders" was originally started from Handan, Hebei Province, and gradually spread to Fujian and then to Taiwan. I hope that this film can be like the cold single culture, and eventually be able to return to the mainland.
The film has a number of powerful actors such as Hu Yuwei, Zheng Renshuo, Xiao Xuan (Huang Jingyi), and the blessing of Yang Guimei, Gao Jie and other old drama bones. Hu Yuwei's performance and styling subvert the past, perfectly shaping a poor, tough and hot-blooded fringe character image. Zheng Renshuo, who has been nominated for the Golden Horse Best Supporting Actor twice, gave a sacrificial performance this time. At the post-screening meeting, director Huang Chaoliang commented that he was "acting with his life". In order to act in the drug abuse scenes in the play, Zheng Renshuo drank a lot of wine every day and stayed up all night without sleeping, in order to truly experience the trance state of the characters.
