The movie "Hiding from the Sky and Crossing the Sea" is a suspenseful crime movie directed by Chen Zhuo and starring Xu Guanghan, Zhang Junning, Hui Yinghong, and Yin Zheng. The movie uses a secret room ** case as a clue, revealing the love-hate entanglement between the powerful and the commoners. In the film, Xu Guanghan challenged the villain image for the first time, playing a cynical and insatiable ruffian policeman;Zhang Junning broke the gentle image of the screen in recent years and played the enigmatic woman Qiao Wenna. The two played against each other throughout the film, constantly creating surprises, allowing the audience to experience an unprecedented visual feast. Director Chen Zhuo said that he wanted to create a film that had both a suspenseful core and an emotional touch. The film is tightly paced and subtly creates tension from the start, sparking the viewer's curiosity. As the story progresses, multiple clues are intertwined and reversed, and the truth of the crime gradually emerges. While ensuring the logical arrangement and the reversal of the rhythm of the plot, the director hopes to touch the hearts of the audience and truly let the audience feel the social issues reflected in the story. In short, the movie "Hiding from the Sky and Crossing the Sea" not only has a high level of narrative skills, but also allows the audience to enjoy the fun of suspense through the setting of the storyline, and also has an in-depth understanding of some social topics**.
There are many factors that need to be considered to make a good film, such as how to portray a full character, how to ensure that there are reversals every two to three minutes, how to integrate social issues into the script, etc. In the movie "Hiding from the Sky and Crossing the Sea", Xu Guanghan broke the previous sunny image and played a somewhat evil bad policeman. The production of the film lasted five years, and after three years of hard work by the screenwriter team, the completion of the script has been very high, and the logic and hierarchy are rigorous and clear. Chen Zhuo said that on the basis of the original script, they added ** about the emotions of the characters and the prehistory of the characters, which was also an important reason why he accepted the invitation of the project in the first place. Xu Guanghan is a very showy actor, he memorized more than 200 pages of script lines during filming, and completely broke the image of the previous sunny boy, and interpreted the role of black policeman Zheng Wei vividly. Chen Zhuo said that Xu Guanghan gave him an intuitive feeling that this actor has a very large performance space. Xu Guanghan, who plays Zheng Wei, faces a huge challenge in "Hiding from the Sky and Crossing the Sea" because he has never been exposed to such a huge amount of lines. Not only does this film have a lot of dialogue, but he also needs to have a truth battle with the character played by Zhang Junning.
He wanted to be able to memorize his lines, not only his own, but also the lines of his rival actors. According to Chen Zhuo, Xu Guanghan's method of memorizing lines is to copy the script by hand, write and write, and constantly deepen his impression. Xu Guanghan knows that only when he is familiar with the lines to a certain extent can he focus on the performance of the character, rather than thinking about which lines should be said, which makes the entire crew very admired. In the film "Hiding from the Sky and Crossing the Sea", Zhang Junning and Xu Guanghan both showed subversive acting skills. Zhang Junning has been known for playing gentle characters in the past, but this time she plays the role of Qiao Wenna, a wealthy woman trapped in prison, a multifaceted character that is sometimes strong and sometimes vulnerable. Chen Zhuo discovered Zhang Junning's villain potential through this role, he said: "She didn't look threatening, so I asked her if she would like to try to play a more subversive role, and she was very excited after reading the script, and agreed without saying a word." Zhang Junning has unlimited performance space, she is good at switching the mood of the character, the same play can be performed in different ways, she can play the image of the little white rabbit, or she can immediately become a big bad wolf. I believe this role allowed her to see a different version of herself.
Beijing News: You have an in-depth understanding of suspense and crime films, what do you think are the difficulties in the creation of such films?Chen Zhuo: The difficulty is that you can't just reverse it for the sake of increasing the sense of type or reversing. In addition to satisfying commercial needs and sense of genre, it is more important to resonate with the audience on an emotional level and touch the entry point of real life. That is, to make the audience feel that even though the story is fictional, they are still able to find resonance in real life to provoke ** and think. Beijing News: What do you think is the most difficult plot to deal with in "Hiding from the Sky and Crossing the Sea"?Chen Zhuo: The most difficult plot is probably to make the audience emotionally resonate after revealing the truth. The bad guys were punished and revenge was done, but why were they so desperate?In the movie "Hiding from the Sky and Crossing the Sea", the love between Qiao Wenna and Ming Hao is driven by desire and falls into a fight. As Mr. Chen Jianbin said at the premiere, this beautiful love finally went to an end, which is thought-provoking and embarrassing. In this movie, all the characters use a lot of lines to move the plot forward.
Director Chen Zhuo said that their team is very centripetal, from the creation of the script to the shooting set, they are negotiating, even the smallest details are not missed, and the story finally presented on the screen has almost no loopholes, thanks to the collective wisdom of all the main creators. For the most difficult scene to shoot, director Chen Zhuo mentioned the scene where Teacher Hui Yinghong climbed the wall. Teacher Hui Yinghong insisted on playing on her own, the building was very high, and she slipped her foot on the wall, and all the staff were startled. But Teacher Hui Yinghong believes that this "accident" is a natural manifestation of Sister Hong's role, and it is not an unreasonable thing. She slid her feet on a high-rise building, showing the professionalism of Sister Hong's role. Regarding the audience's feedback after the release of the film, director Chen Zhuo said that he hopes to get real feedback from the audience, not only praise, but also to point out the shortcomings. Through this film, he hopes to be able to ** the big genre of suspense films, how to create in China, and how to resonate with the audience. He believes that Chinese cinema should focus on creating films with social issues in order to establish a deeper connection with the audience.
