Presenting China's beautiful rural scenery and human feelings Tell the dreams and feelings on the road of revitalization
"Spring Marathon" shows the great social changes and institutional innovations in the past 40 years of reform and opening up, especially since the 18th National Congress. Inspired by the spirit of the times, the film's main creative team inherits and innovates the stylistic characteristics of Haipai films, recording the wind and rain and sunshine in the process of reform through this film, and telling the dreams and feelings on the road of rural revitalization.
The film's protagonist, Fang Chun, played by Zhang Duo, is a representative of village cadres in the new era, born in Genting Village, who has a deep love for the land that has nurtured him, and like most young people, he left his hometown in the spring of adulthood and established himself in the city. But when his career was successful, he did not choose to continue to work hard in the city, but returned to his hometown without hesitation.
At the premiere ceremony, Zhang Duo said that participating in the film has a great impact on his own values, and the village chief in the new era in the film not only has to run his own small family well, but also returns to his hometown to lead everyone to live a good life together. In the film, in the face of the temptation of interests, the test of family affection, and the doubts in his ears, Fang Chun struggled to cross the thorns under his feet and ran forward for the dream of rural revitalization in his heart.
In the film, Xu Baihui plays the wife of the village chief Fang Chun, who once had some incomprehension about her husband's work. Xu Baihui believes that Fang Chun endures humiliation and burdens for work, and as a wife, she will feel very wronged. She said at the scene: "This play not only allows everyone to see what the panoramic modern countryside looks like, but more importantly, it can tell us that while living and working at a fast pace, there are poetry and distant places." ”
In many previous film and television drama works, Zheng Hao mainly played positive roles. In "Spring Marathon", he played a village cadre who stood on the opposite side of Fang Chun in many things, and he also interpreted the selfishness of this negative role into three points. Zheng Hao believes that this film has a lot of points to see in terms of both theme and content, "The scenery of this play is very good, the picture is very good, and the story is very attractive. ”
