Huang Xiaoming quoted Camus's famous words as explaining how to resolve anxiety
Jiuzhiwang Film Beijing News On October 14, the first national roadshow for the film "Sunshine Club" was held at Tsinghua University. Director Wei Shujun, starring Huang Xiaoming, Zu Feng and Jia Zhangke, and chief producer Wang Caitao walked onto the campus and communicated with students after the screening. The atmosphere was warm and interactive.
The main creative team talks about their role perceptions and seeing Sisyphus's happiness in the absurd world
After the screening, the creative team and the students had an in-depth dialogue about the film. As the first producer of the film, Huang Xiaoming also devoted a lot of thinking and efforts to the film. He did a lot of preparatory work in the early stage, and also took the initiative to get into contact with the lives of mentally disabled people and became friends with them. He learned that many mentally retarded patients stay in childhood, love desserts like children, and even lead to complications such as diabetes and high blood pressure. In order to better restore Wu You's state, he deliberately added weight to the role and presented the "Wu You" that everyone sees now. He shared with his classmates how he re-examined the world through the perspective of the protagonist "Wu You". He quoted Camus's famous saying,"Sisyphus should be regarded as happy." He believed that Wu You's role carries a modern metaphor, a blunt emotion about life, just like Sisyphus, as long as Sisyphus himself believed that his actions were meaningful, his actions could be meaningful. He said,"Whether we are happy or not is actually a subjective decision and is not influenced by any external regulations, so if we regard everything that happens as happy, we are happy." When the topic turned to the brother "Wu Di" played by Zu Feng, the host asked why he had changed from "looking for a miracle doctor" to "looking for a god chicken". Zu Feng believed that the brother "Wu Di" in the film was more ordinary and more like ordinary us. He was unable to compete with it in the face of real difficulties and could only find new spiritual sustenance. The most surprising thing is "actor Jia Zhangke". He has played guest roles in almost all other films. This time, he changed his usual appearance and played Dr. Cai, a very key character in this film. This is also the role he has played for the longest time., enough to show his recognition and importance to the script and director of this film. He cherished this role very much, and at the same time, he also laughed and said that this was his first time playing a "highly educated" role.
Huang Xiaoming responded on the spot to chat about family relationships by the main creative team of loofah soup stalks
Producer Wang Caitao shared the unique concept of the role of "mother" in the movie. He particularly emphasized that this mother is a woman who pursues life in the script and has innocence. Wang Caitao said: "I hope she is a pearl like, transparent and shining character." The atmosphere of Wu You's family in the film moved many viewers. They are also an atypical "East Asian family." In this regard, the host and Huang Xiaoming mentioned the "loofah soup" topic that has been hotly debated on the Internet recently. Huang Xiaoming explained to his classmates, Although "loofah soup" is also a kind of love, this kind of love is a suffocating love, but he believes that it is created by the times and environment. The theme that the movie wants to convey is to tell everyone to bravely pursue love and the life they want like their mothers, and to treat every day and everyone in the sunshine. Some viewers at the scene also compared the film to "China version of" Forrest Gump ", telling a story of using optimistic and positive spiritual victory to resist life difficulties with light and romantic brushstrokes.
The creative team responded to students 'questions and called on everyone to "Don't Worry,be Happy!" ”**
After the microphone was handed over to Tsinghua students, some students talked about their experience in preparing for the exam and asked Huang Xiaoming how to maintain a positive attitude. In response, Huang Xiaoming generously shared the "too noisy" remark-in the face of these criticisms, he was once anxious, but in the end, he adjusted his mentality in time and faced these voices calmly. He believes that only he can solve anxiety and stress. As long as he yearn for kindness, love, and sunshine, the world will definitely become a better place. The students at the scene drew happiness nourishment from Wu You and believed that the reason why Wu You, like Sisyphus, could completely accept the "stone" of fate was because he regarded taking care of his mother as the purpose of his existence and implemented "Sunshine Therapy". Every step of the process is regarded as a hopeful push. Jia Zhangke used Dr. Cai's famous saying in the film to encourage the audience: "Don't let the haze of yesterday obscure today's sunshine. No one can decide what tomorrow will be like. Impossible is nothing, today is your day!"-- The famous scene in the film was almost reproduced, triggering bursts of laughter from the students. Therefore, the creative team also called on students to maintain a sunny mentality and view the world from a simple and pure perspective, like Dr. Cai and Wu You,"Don't Worry, be Happy!"
The movie "Sunshine Club" will be officially released on October 25. The weather is getting colder. You might as well walk into the theater together, join the Sunshine Club, and feel the sunshine and healing from the screen!
