If the whole film is about the death of Romance, then the love scene between "Boy Chicken" and "prostitute" is the only romance in the film.
this is du Jiang and Huo Siyan acting opposite each other again after the TV series "Goodbye, wife". Talking about the experience of being invited, du Jiang told reporters that director Cheng er sent an invitation to himself at a friend's wedding. Du Jiang had seen the director's last film, Border Wind and Cloud, and liked his images and aesthetic preferences very much. "calm but extremely enthusiastic and restrained, very patient." After the communication between the two, Cheng er felt that du Jiang could understand the story he was trying to tell, and that he and his wife Huo Siyan were "people living in the same context", so he was happy to join the crew.
talking about acting opposite his wife Huo Siyan, du Jiang said, "very happy and happy, and very lucky to be together, but we are not the kind of people who bring personal feelings that have nothing to do with movies to work, so laughter rarely occurs." Unfortunately, the relationship between the two suddenly disappeared at the back of the film, which made du Jiang feel a little regretful. fortunately, Cheng er has a more detailed description of their relationship in his novel.
after three years of marriage, du Jiang and Huo Siyan had a delicious marriage, and they even had a baby "little ahem." at the press conference, Huo Siyan also looked happy when he talked about her husband. In the filming of "the History of Romance", both of them were filmed in Beijing, and they can go home on the same day after filming, so there is no need to separate. "there is no lovesickness of filming in other places." With regard to acting, one of du Jiang's favorite words is, "acting is like climbing a mountain. You can't say that the scenery at the foot of the mountain is better than that on the mountain, but with each step, the scenery is different. Step by step to the best scenery in mind, that is a challenge."
du Jiang appreciates Cheng er's film style very much. "he likes to use long shots to express the emotion of a scene very much. Being able to use long lenses confidently comes from his strong confidence in his own aesthetics. " When he was not filming, du Jiang chatted with director Cheng er about the film and his childhood. "he also got to know his actors in this way, and I got to know him in this way in order to work better."
the crew brings together excellent actors such as Ge You, Zhang Ziyi and Ni Dahong. For du Jiang, this is also a rare learning opportunity. "it is a very happy and pleasant thing to work with so many excellent actors." is to return to the original intention of being an actor, very happy and enjoyable. " As for the hard work and challenges in the shooting process, du Jiang doesn't mind at all. The challenge in his eyes is not to play a Red Army soldier today, to play a woman in "Mr. High Heels" tomorrow, and to play a cute "Boy Chicken" the day after tomorrow. "I don't really think about what type it is, but whether this character has my temperament or not, and whether this character has anything to express through my body."
speaking of life, what is "romantic"? Du Jiang posted an article on his Weibo entitled "romance dies" in which he wrote, "when romance can be mass produced, romance disappears" and "romance is not only strong, but also depends on the slowness of the times." He hopes that he and his wife Huo Siyan "must take the train to Moscow and St. Petersburg sometime, spend seven days crossing the vast Siberian plain, where they can read, chat, drink milk and eat bread, and look out of the window. There is endless snow and coniferous forest."
"I am now more convinced that it was the right decision to choose to act in this movie. I don't have any regrets when I think about it today." Du Jiang was filming another war movie when he was interviewed. Du Jiang sent several photos of his dirty face through Wechat. "this is how I'm answering your question right now. I don't feel hard at all. I really enjoy it."
