Yong Mei Zufeng and Wang Xiaoshuai cooperated for the second time, "They grew into the role"

From "Long Days in the Land" to "Fertile Land", from jiangnan water towns to the Loess Plateau, Wang Xiaoshuai's reason for using Yongmei and Zu Feng again is very simple, good actors have a commonality, that is, no matter how noisy the market environment, they still maintain their original intentions, do not compete, and endure loneliness. As Wang Xiaoshuai said, "Yongmei has achieved great success since "Long Days on Earth", but because of her own cultivation experience, she is still in the same state as when "Long Days on Earth" is still the same as in "Long Days on Earth". This is a very high performance of a person, she can have the most beautiful and brilliant side in the spotlight, but back to the film back to the role, she is the most primitive piece of jade. When she came to the crew, into the family, into the fate of this role, a few days later, she grew into it. When it comes to the second cooperation with director Wang Xiaoshuai, Yongmei also describes it as relaxed.
Referring to actor Zu Feng, Wang Xiaoshuai said, "Zu Feng is a water-like actor, and his previous cooperation in the Octagon Pavilion has such an impression, whether it is his integration with the script role, or the cooperation with the film crew, everything is as smooth and impeccable as the fusion of water and milk." He grew up in the crew every day, and when he was needed, he would be there at any time. According to director Wang Xiaoshuai, the filming of "Fertile Land" requires actors to learn the dialect of the northwest region, and because Zu Feng has starred in "Mountains and Seas", he already has such reserves. It remains to be seen what kind of couple will be interpreted in the movie "Fertile Land" for the first time, and what kind of movie viewing experience will be brought to the audience.

In addition, the actor Wang Zichuan, who has been active on the drama stage for many years and has had a good performance in the movie "Looking for Han", plays the old wine in the film; senior actor Li Jun plays the grandfather of Xiao Wotu. It is reported that Wang Jingchun, an actor who starred in the husband and wife file with Yongmei in "The Long Day", also made a surprise appearance and made a cameo appearance in a mysterious role.

Before filming began, the crew launched a "carpet search" to find fertile land, and met hundreds of local children of the right age. In the end, director Wang Xiaoshuai and producer Liu Xuan locked their eyes on Ouyang Wenxin's body. Ouyang Wenxin behaved very differently in the crowd, "Many children have a high degree of recognition, and they know what kind of child he is suitable for playing at a glance. Only Ouyang Wenxin is very centered, he is different in the crowd, and the things that The little fertile land in the movie experiences are also different. The little one actually has a soul in his heart, and he has the eyes to observe and ask questions about the world. He is unique. Wang Xiaoshuai believes that Ouyang Wenxin's final presentation is indeed surprising, even incredible.
Due to the large number of special effects shots involved and the long post-production time, the final film timing of "Fertile Land" has not been disclosed. It is certain that the final visual and auditory presentation of the film will have a completely different effect from Wang Xiaoshuai's past film works, which is very worth looking forward to.
