"Put out the heart" without deliberately sensational
In the movie "The End of the Sea is the Prairie", the little girl Du Siheng and many southern children in the orphanage traveled along a bumpy train, and crossed half of China to the Inner Mongolia prairie all the way north. Prairie Eji, Abba, brother... Since then, a brand new life has been opened, and a story has been sung. In the film, Chen Baoguo plays Du Sihan, an old man who embarks on the "road to find sisters". Before taking over the play, Chen Baoguo learned about the history of "Three Thousand Orphans Entering Inner Mongolia" in a literary report, and was shocked by this great love. As a creator, he thinks this is a particularly good subject for a story.
In the film, Du Sihan played by Chen Baoguo is an intellectual living in Shanghai who has been separated from his biological sister for more than 60 years, and completed his self-redemption in the process of going to the prairie to find his sister. "Why did he come to the grassland after 60 years to find his sister? His mood is very complicated. The word 'find' is my task for the whole film, like a big vat full of various colors The water traces of the man, originally did not stir it, you can distinguish the various colors, but from the moment he embarked on the journey, this stick was stirring in the vat. It is undeniable that there are his repentance and his right to The nostalgia of family love includes his pursuit of life, and the completion of his mother's entrustment before her death."
"To play such a film full of true feelings, you must be sincere, and you must dig your heart out, really do it with your heart. Acting." There is no particularly strong sensationalism in the film, and Chen Baoguo is very restrained in handling the emotions of the characters, "I did not choose to express with great joy and sorrow, because it does not conform to the playwright and director's interpretation of this life. What they want is the inner feeling, the uncertainty of looking for their loved ones, which the audience can see in their eyes from time to time.” Du Sihan doesn't have many scenes, "I need to complete Du Sihan's state in the group portrait scene."
recalled the scene during the shooting, plus his understanding of the script, Chen Baoguo has a special feeling for this film, "The film is in the nation. Spiritually and emotionally, it restores the generation of people at that time, what our ancestors did, and their feelings at that time." The film is a cultural carrier, and the creator took the camera to shoot with emotion. At that time, why did he want to shoot, there must be some kind of emotion to vent. In Chen Baoguo's view, the theme of "The End of the Sea is the Prairie" is "love" and sincerity. "I think this is the core of this film. It can move the audience now, and it depends on nothing but this. In such a vast land of our country, there has never been a lack of love stories. I think in this film In the movie, we restored the generation at that time in terms of national spirit and feelings."
met the 90-year-old "Eji "
cooperated with director Er Dongsheng for the first time in the "Reunion" scene. Chen Baoguo believed that the director should The story of shooting has strong emotional sustenance. "He knows how to shoot this story. It's all in his heart. The daily creative state is very high."
Chen Baoguo has followed many film crews, but only Er Dongsheng The director stood, "The screen is on a shelf and someone is holding him up. He always stands and looks at the monitor. The actor's performance is 'OK', and he can go to the camera as soon as possible." When Chen Baoguo first entered the industry When making a movie, the director is always standing next to the camera, "Sometimes you squeeze me with the cameraman, I squeeze you, just to watch the actors perform. The director of the crew reminded me of a scene similar to that. Impressed me. It's very deep." In
"The End of the Sea is the Grassland", many of the actors who played against Chen Baoguo were local actors from Inner Mongolia, and even non-professional actors, "I know some people on the screen and have seen them play Many of the characters are performance artists. You can see the sculptural feeling that the grassland has for them, not only in the face, but also in the character, the speechThe words came out. Therefore, the director chose these actors to play, I believe. "
Chen Baoguo and the actors from Inner Mongolia cooperated very happily. What impressed him the most was the scene where Du Sihan and his sister met." There was a pause in that scene, and a 90-year-old Eji appeared. Full of kindness. Everyone present stood up and walked towards her. But they didn't know her because of their love for their mother. On the empty grassland, with the scorching sun on the head, everyone supported a 90-year-old grandmother and looked at her with the kind of eyes... This situation and scene are completely in line with the film, but you can't find it. "
