Original title: Hu Ge's new film tries a new theme
After "Fireworks in the Day" won the Berlin Golden Bear, the second film directed by Diao Yinan, "The Gathering at Southern Station" is scheduled to be released nationwide on December 6.
Speaking of the reasons for choosing Hu Ge, Diao Yinan said that when he saw a picture of Hu Ge in a magazine, he was moved by his image. Hu Ge recalled that when Director Diao found him, he was in a period of confusion at work, "always waiting for a good script and a good role." The first time I met Diao, I was very nervous, because I had never tried a movie of this kind before, "I was afraid that it would be delayed if it was not completed."
Hu Ge, played by Zhou Zenong, is a leader in the theft gang in the Yeetang Lake area. The story of the film is inspired by real news events. Hu Ge feels that the biggest problem in playing this role is to approach the character in terms of temperament. In order to find the feeling of this character from the inside, he deliberately preserved the negative emotions during shooting, whether it is physical, emotional, or spiritual. "Because I feel anxious, uneasy, or insecure, it fits this role very well".
