The absurd comedy film "Sherlock on the Plain" was written by a new director, but it was praised by Wu Jing, Yao Chen, Guo Fan, Wen Muye and others. Yesterday, I also received the blessing of Andy Lau's video. Director Xu Lei revealed that his father played the male number one because of insufficient money, and even his mother also participated in the movie. But he believes that non-professional actors including their parents are helpful to the film, "This is a story they can understand, and it is something that grows in their lives." The
movie "Sherlock on the Plain" tells an absurd humor. Chaoying flips over a new house, and Zhanyi and Shuhe come to help. Unexpectedly, Shuhe is admitted to the hospital in an accidental car accident and the driver escapes. Chaoying and Zhanyi become "Plain detectives", embarking on a laughable absurdity Journey to chase the murderer. The
film is directed by the new director Xu Lei, and has previously won the "Best Film Text" award at the 13th FIRST Youth Film Festival. At the premiere ceremony yesterday, Xu Lei sighed that this independent production could be on the theater line, and producer Rao Xiaozhi contributed a lot. Rao Xiaozhi, who was filming in Shanghai, told about his relationship with the film through video. He said that after seeing "Sherlock on the Plain" at the Beijing Film Festival at the beginning of the year, he liked it very much and was willing to help Xu Lei with his meager strength. It was amazing. Yes, Andy Lau, who is filming Rao Xiaozhi's new film "The Crowd", also made a special appearance, saying that his fans would support this "all amateur" movie.
In fact, the simple and innocent performance of amateur actors is also one of the highlights of the film that has been well received by the audience during the road shows in various places. Yesterday the three "Detective Uncles" Xu Chaoying, Zhang Zhanyi, and Su Shuhe also shared their feelings on the scene. All three said that they had never had any acting experience and were very nervous before filming. As for which scene was the most difficult to shoot, Zhang Zhanyi laughed and said that there was a scene of "eating donkey head" that was not well shot, but Su Shuhe "voiced": "You did not perform well on purpose. Donkey head is so expensive. I didn’t perform well, try again and eat again.”
and Xu Chaoying said that the scene of lighting up Shuhe cigarettes in the hospital was so simple that it was filmed for almost two nights. She lamented that filming was really not easy. Growing up in rural areas, I also like rural areas very much. Xu Lei said he wanted to make movies that reflect the people’s sentiments in rural areas. I am very supportive. But I was really worried about making me the number one male character. There is no way I can only support him.” (Chen Hui)
Speaking of arranging for his father Xu Chaoying to take the lead role, Xu Lei smiled and replied: "It doesn't cost money to find him as the male number one." In fact, due to the shortage of funds during the preparatory stage, Xu Lei could not find a suitable actor, so he decided on the advice of his mother. Let my father play it, and later I also arranged a role for my mother. He bluntly said that the story was brewing when he went home to observe the lives of the people in his hometown. "Sometimes I feel that they are tired of life, but this kind of mutual help and mutual help both kill and enrich their lives. The advancement of urbanization, I want to record this kind of rural sentiment.”
Xu Lei also said that "Sherlock on the Plain" was originally called "Dust Flying", and it was changed to the present kind of ridicule because it was a bit abstract. The name is more in line with the film’s absurd comedy temperament, “I don’t want to use a bitter and melancholic tone to tell tragic stories.” He also said that amateur actors, including Dad, brought a different feeling to the film. "We didn't have a script at the scene, that is, to talk about the situation, but they can understand these things that happened in the countryside. It is not the logic I designed. This is the thing that grows in their lives."
film "Sherlock on the Plains" "Will be screened nationwide on November 29.
