At the premiere of the movie "Water Love", the reporter interviewed the actor of the film protagonist Hong Shixiang, and the well-known domestic film and television actor You Liping, who has successfully portrayed the roles of Lin Biao, Chiang Kai-shek, Lu Xun and other popular film and television dramas such as "The Great Undertaking of the Founding of the People's Republic" and "The Young Marshal".
"For 35 years, his loneliness and perseverance in the mountains, deep and thick, touched me." Yu Liping explained why he was happy to "transform" from the role of "big man" to take over the motivation for such a public welfare film that tells the story of the "grassroots" hero of the Wumeng Mountains.
"This is the first time to play a hydrologist, and it is also the hardest time to shoot in Yunnan." Yu Liping frankly said that the shooting in the Wumeng Mountains made him suffer a lot: "The altitude is high, the shooting point is high and the road is far, and it is not easy to shoot." The bitterness and joy in the filming process also made him go deeper into the heart of the character, touching the extraordinary in the ordinary of Hong Shixiang, a hydrological engineer at the Zhaotong Branch of the Provincial Hydrological and Water Resources Bureau, the prototype character in the film.
In the filming of the scene where Hong Shixiang was unable to send his old mother on his last journey due to work reasons, Yu Liping still remembers it: "That scene is Hong Shixiang kneeling in front of his mother's grave to tell his 'filial piety', after saying his lines, closing his eyes, tears come down, once filmed!" ”
From taking the initiative to propose beards to the crew to bring their own yellow and old light grass velvet pants, to the details of the hydrology measurement with the prototype Hong Shixiang on the shooting scene... In order to truly show the thickness of Hong Shixiang's heart from the details in the performance, Yu Liping made a lot of efforts. He said that he wanted to grasp the details as much as possible to let the audience touch the true feelings and personality charm of a worker on the hydrological front of China's Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau.
Yu Liping said that the protagonist in the movie is not only Hong Shixiang himself, but also represents thousands of "Hong Shixiang" on the hydrological front, hoping that more people will know them and understand them through this movie.
