"Nanjing Photo Studio" character identity first exposed Liu Haoran Wang Chuanjun interprets Nanjing people's survival mentality

The film "Nanjing Photo Studio", which is supervised by Fu Ruoqing and directed by the Olympic bid, starred by Liu Haoran, Wang Chuanjun, Gao Ye and Wang Xiao, starred by Zhou You, starred by Yang Enyou and Harashima Dadi, and starred by Wang Zhener, will be released nationwide on August 2. The film released a special feature of the actors of "All Things Develop" today, exposing the identities and professions of the characters for the first time. A group of ordinary people who had never met each other were accidentally bound by fate in Nanjing in 1937 because of a film recording the atrocities of the Japanese army. Among them, there are postmen who use their apprenticeship identities to survive, translators who serve for the Japanese army, role actors who dream of being actors, the family of photo studio owners who record life in Jinling, and police officers who have lost loved ones. In the special edition, the actors express their understanding of the characters and the creative details given to the characters through the lens. When Nanjing fell, this group of ordinary people who had taken refuge in the photo studio just wanted to survive discovered something more important than "life" after seeing photos of the Japanese army's cruel massacre. So they united and risked retaining evidence to protect the hope and dignity of the nation in order to resist the Japanese army's destruction of their homes. Their transformation from "wanting to survive" to "wanting the negative of criminal evidence to stay" also conveys the spiritual core of the China people uniting to resist the enemy in desperate situations.

Liu Haoran's fake apprentice faces life and death threats, Wang Chuanjun, Gao Ye, Wang Xiao gathers the epitome of Nanjing people

"Nanjing Photo Studio" cuts through the Nanjing Massacre from the unique perspective of small people retaining criminal evidence. Aim the camera at a photo studio and use the survival trajectory of a group of ordinary people living in Nanjing in an inch of space to cut through the destruction of the war on the destiny of individuals. In the special edition, Liu Haoran restored Ah Chang's psychological trajectory of hiding in the photo studio: "He accidentally bumped into him to save his life temporarily, and then escaped." The special footage captures his tense moments as he trembles in a darkroom and develops negatives, as well as his horrified eyes as he witnesses atrocities on the chaotic streets of Nanjing, showing the fear of an ordinary person witnessing the massacre. Different from A Chang's "mistakenly entered", Wang Chuanjun plays the translator Wang Guanghai, who is a speculator in troubled times. He uses his translation skills in exchange for survival opportunities. He obeys the Japanese army but firmly believes that he is saving people, and vacillating between "half asleep and half awake". Yu Xiu, played by Gao Ye, is a part-on actor. She represents another mentality of ordinary people facing war. At first, they did not realize that war was so terrible. It was not until they truly saw the cruelty of the Holocaust that they deeply realized the essence of the Japanese army. Her life and dreams were completely collapsed under artillery fire. Wang Xiao plays the photo studio owner and is a recorder of life in Nanjing. From taking photos recording fireworks and happy families in the city to being forced to develop and record the evidence of the death of comrades, the photo studio reflects the beauty destroyed and the cruelty brought by war. In addition, Boss Jin's family, which he, Wang Zhener and Yang En formed, represents an ordinary Nanjing family, which is the epitome of countless Nanjing families torn apart by the war. Squad leader Song, played by Zhou You, lost his only brother in the massacre, and used his emotional outburst to symbolize the helplessness and collapse of the people who lost loved ones in the massacre.

This group of unknown people gathered in the photo studio shrouded in the Holocaust, forming a microcosm of ordinary people in Nanjing. Their psychological transformation and struggle in the darkest moments also represents the unyielding and courage gathered by tens of millions of China people in the face of the collapse of the country and the collapse of their families.

Director's Olympic bid focuses on wartime people's portraits of actors ** The set drives each other's emotions to explode **

When explaining the creative concept of the Olympic bid, the director said that the film pays more attention to the little people, hoping to show that through the perspective of several "little people" who are not so closely related to the "national righteousness", they find something more important than life in times of crisis., highlighting the "power of awakening." This internal transformation from "survival" to "awakening" is the most touching emotional core of the film. At the same time, the Olympic bid director also said that "several actors are building ladders for each other", making the group portraits of the film more moving. When the actors interpret this period of history, their emotions are particularly natural and sincere. Gao Ye said emotionally in the interview that the entire movie was hurting him. This deep emotional resonance allows the sense of trust between the characters to flow naturally. Gao Ye mentioned that the other party's "breathing and expression levels other than tears" in the scene with Wang Chuanjun also drove her performance. Wang Xiao also admitted in the interview that Yang Enyou's performance made him "immersive".

Through sincere interactive performances, the actors transformed the inner transformation from the survival instinct of small characters to the awakening of responsibility into touching portraits of the common people on the screen. They had never met each other and had different identities. They hid in the photo studio and made their own living. At first, they only thought about how they would survive the massacre. While fleeing for their lives, they accidentally discovered photos of the criminal evidence of the Japanese massacre. Looking at the dilapidated homes and the compatriots who died in front of them, these bloody criminal evidence changed their mentality, from just wanting to save their lives to wanting to preserve the criminal evidence. It is the power of these countless shining little people in desperate situations that shines with the tenacious and unyielding will of our nation in the face of dark moments.
