Realism theme theme National Day gift film "The Alley Butler" recently closed with a box office nearly 8 times higher than the cost, and achieved good results in a series of gift films. The down-to-earth, life-oriented, and strong and authentic Beijing style are important reasons for the film's appeal to the audience. As the film's director, Zheng Hao's overall control of the film and the director's style have also been unanimously recognized by the industry and abroad. And he himself said: I am serious about being a director.
The Beijing-style "Alley Steward" is starring Gong Hanlin and co-starred by Zhang Ying and Fang Qingping. From the perspective of ordinary people, we select the group of "Alley Steward" to present it, reflecting the changes in an alley. It reflects the development of the country and the changes of the times, and reflects the big theme of the era of small people and small cuts.
In this film with no big-name traffic actors and no cool and explosive scenes, what you see is a strong human touch and solid professional actor performance, which also allows everyone to see Zheng Hao's skill as a director. When asked about the feelings of the change of actor and director's identity, Zheng Hao said: There are many differences. The most intuitive point is that the director, as the core of the creative team, is shouldering heavy responsibilities, from physical strength to psychological pressure. As a director, the creative cycle is very tight from receiving the assignment to the completion of the film. At that time, there was only nearly three or four hours of sleep every day. During the filming of "The Alley Butler", I had a situation where I had a high-intensity work until 2:30 in the morning when my heart rate was too fast to continue and I had to take a forced rest.
Physical overdraft is only one aspect, and it is the director's responsibility to innovate and control artistic creation. The film "Stewardess in the Alley" adopted the new creative concept of "instant movie" in the shooting, and integrated the policies and work that are being implemented and about to be implemented into the plot in time, and used the 100-day countdown of National Day as a time clue, to the greatest extent possible And reflects reality, and also brings great difficulty to shooting. Director Zheng Hao set the creative tone for the film with "the main theme of the movie should also be life-oriented, people-friendly, and contemporary". From the finalization of the script, the process of shooting, the main creation and the matching of the cast, he fully participated in the proposition. In the time limit, the intensity and difficulty of shooting increased day by day, but the results are obvious to all. The down-to-earth story, strong Beijing rhyme culture, accurate lens language and the joining of stars make it not inferior. Although
has many film and television works, he has won many heavyweight awards at home and abroad because of his actor status, and also won the "Golden Camera·New Director Award" at the China International Youth Film Festival because of his director status, but the director Zheng Hao in life is low-key and steady. , There is no celebrity shelf at all. He said: Although he has been in the industry for many years, he is still a newcomer in the field of directing and has to learn a lot. I can't allow myself to stagnate and close, love film, love art is the driving force for me to move forward, as a director, I am also serious. "The Alley Butler" is an unforgettable director experience for me. I hope the next one will be even better, and I continue to explore new areas of innovation!
