On September 9, Yes Entertainment comprehensively reported that zhu Xianzhe, the golden horse award for best documentary director, the first feature film "Color Distortion", recently held an opening press conference in the first floor hall of the Taipei Film Commission, and the main actors Wu Kangren, Yu Taiyan, Chung Yao, Hu Weijie, and Fang Ting all came to share their understanding and imagination of the characters. Chen Nanhong, who is the host of the press conference and also the producer of the film, first thanked the Taipei Municipal Bureau of Culture, the Taipei Municipal Cultural Foundation and the Taipei Film Committee on behalf of the main creative team for their support.
Director Zhu Xianzhe won the Golden Horse Award for Best Documentary in 2001 for "Health Lord - Stray Dogs in Taiwan". In the past, he devoted himself to documentaries and cared for animal rights, at the age of 51, directing a time-consuming and laborious feature film for the first time, and he believes that it is the time when his life is ripe, and it is most appropriate to render his personal understanding of the world to the audience. "Color Distortion" explores the sexual misconduct of children in single-parent families, starting a series of pursuits in the name of social justice after the theft of the fetish underwear thief.
The title of the film takes color to represent the individual, implying that individuals collide with each other in society, sometimes forgetting, sometimes losing their own color. The "cross" in the English title of the film, Cross Color, is a metaphor for the cross that everyone carries when they move towards self-redemption. The red, white and blue tricolor represented by the main characters "Tang Hong", "Termite" and "Blue Lake" in the film is a tribute by Zhu Xianzhe to the Polish master Kiszrovsky, who is internationally famous for his "Blue-White-Red Trilogy".
Wu Kangren, who was shortlisted for two Actor Awards at the Golden Bell Awards this year, played the fetish underwear thief "Termite" in "Color Distortion". Wu Kangren believes that it is not necessary to look at this character with behavioral deviations from the perspective of a "marginal person", but to understand from a life perspective that an ordinary person who is not good at communicating with others or expressing himself in a different way is just excessive fascination with something, and "Color Distortion" is just to use the image language of the film to render "what everyone is doing behind closed doors". In order to interpret this complex role of passion, mania and madness, Wu Kangren also actively slimmed down and strived to have the best performance on the screen.
Yu Taiyan, who plays Wu Kangren's mother "Blue Lake", has rich experience in playing the mother of the male and female protagonists in the past drama works, and has also partnered with Wu Kangren. In order to imitate the different roles in the film from his repressed original family, Yu Taiyan has also recently entered the crowd and observed the interaction between various mothers and children in many ways. She quipped that in "Color Distortion", the erotic scene is the biggest challenge, but she will try her best to meet the director's requirements as an actress. Another key character in this film, "Tang Hong" Chung Yao, has performed in the film for the first time, and he especially cherishes this opportunity. She and two other new generation actors, Hu Weijie and Fang Ting, interpret the three views of the city's human indifference, and in the face of the clues of the underwear thief, each shows a different attitude towards the pursuit of justice. The three actors in the film for the roommate relationship, in order to cultivate tacit understanding, the three people also try to live together when rehearsing the scene, good feelings are all present in the press conference live interaction.
Zhu Xianzhe believes that although the plot configuration of "Color Distortion" focuses on the marginal characters of society with behavioral deviations, it reflects the issues of human nature that are hidden in contemporary metropolises and popularized. The film will also participate in international film festivals as a warm-up before the release in Taiwan.
