Young actors perform cured youth films, and the strength of the behind-the-scenes team escorts them

Best friend is the first film directed by director Song Zhuofei, who graduated from the film production department of Chapman University in the United States and studied under Johnny Jensen, a famous Hollywood photographer. His short film Chameleon, which served as photography director, won a platinum award at the Houston International Film Festival and was included in the film channel HD short Film / ShortsHD. Another short film was shortlisted for several international film festivals and won Best Picture. Before going to the United States, Song Zhuofei had a bachelor's degree in economics and a master's degree in statistics from the University of St Andrews in the United Kingdom. after returning home, he became a sports journalist with a highly competitive Beijing TV station with a non-professional background. when the notice from Chapman University came, he was preparing for a medical examination to become an international journalist abroad. But he most often said: "movies are only my sideline, my dream is to become a rock star, ."

In the film, the summer actor, the city juniper official, once starred in the best film "the Thief Family" at the 71st Cannes International Film Festival, showing excellent acting talent, six years after the "Thief Family". It is worth looking forward to how the 17-year-old city juniper official will interpret a sensitive and beautiful teenager. In addition, the joining of the new generation of influential idol Duan Aojuan and the newcomer Yang Zhihe makes the film collide with a new spark, making the audience feel the coming pure youth.

At the same time, Zhang Huijun, former dean of the Beijing Film Academy and doctoral supervisor, and Yu Weiguo, a famous Hong Kong director, producer and screenwriter, served as supervisors, while Wei long, a famous curator and artist, served as chief producer. Huo Tingxiao, a famous art director who has participated in many films such as "Hero", "Golden armour all over the City", "Changjin Lake" and other films, served as the artistic consultant of this film. Xu Guiting, who has participated in "Tropical past", "want to see you", "Mr. Red carpet", "you have left shoulder" and other film and television works, served as art director. The casting director is Kang Kui, who has selected actors for "Don't tell her", "Kung Fu Dream" and "Mustang split bristles". Her greatest advantage is that she is particularly good at plain man casting. This time, Yang Zhihe, who starred Zhao Fei, and Wang Hongtian, who played Zhou Fang, played the role of Zhao Fei. All are plain people who stand out from the auditions. Actress Duan Aojuan also starred in a big-screen work for the first time since the transformation of idol. She used her natural perception and understanding of the role to win a role for herself in the audition without any prior training by virtue of her excellent handling of complex roles. In addition, there are different areas of strength behind the scenes to protect the creation and shooting of the film.

focus on autism and see "the light of the stars"

The film "Best Friends" focuses on the rare theme of autism in China, supported by the Red Cross Society of China and the China Charity Federation, and strives to show the real life situation of young people with autism. Autism, also known as autism, full name autism spectrum disorder (ASD), is a group of genetic factors and environmental factors caused by the interaction of neurodevelopmental disorders. According to incomplete statistics, the number of autistic patients in China is more than 13 million, accounting for 1 / 8 of the total number of disabled people in our country. The prevalence rate of autism in children aged 0-6 years old reaches 40:1, and is on the rise. Their growth, employment and life, related to 13 million families of patients, is now an important social issue, but the general public generally lack a correct understanding of autism.

In order to understand and perceive the autistic community closely, director Song Zhuofei has volunteered for many years at Xingguang Yichuo, a public welfare autism organization under the China Social Welfare Foundation. As a music teacher, he taught autistic children to sing, learn musical instruments, form bands, perform everywhere, and establish deep friendships with children and their families. Song Zhuofei said he did not want to look at autistic people from the perspective of "overlooking" and "charity", but wanted to tell the story from an equal perspective. This is an interdependent life, everyone, every family has its own difficulties and limitations, the story does not focus on compassion for misfortune, but believe in the beauty of imperfection, believe in sincere feelings. This time, people with real autism take part in the performance as an important role.

Through the stories of this group of teenagers, the film "Best Friends" will show the innocence and beauty of the 17-year-old, awaken the audience's memories of youth and recall the good friends who went through the youth together. At the same time, through the in-depth discussion of friendship, family affection and dreams, we integrate the attention to the growth and health of teenagers and marginalized groups into the nature of youth movies, believing that love can cure everything. and call on everyone to understand and accept marginal groups with a more rational and open attitude, showing full humanistic care.

The film "Best friend" is produced by Xiamen Xingying Shang Culture and Art Co., Ltd., jointly produced by Immortal Beast (Beijing) Film and Television Technology Co., Ltd., Youth Film Studio Co., Ltd., Beijing Xingying Shang Culture and Art Co., Ltd., with the support of the Red Cross Society of China and the China Charity Federation, it has been officially started, and we look forward to meeting you as soon as possible and become best friends!
