1905 Movie Network News On April 10, "The World of Grass and Trees" held a road show at the Beijing Film Academy. Starring Jiang Qinqin and Wu Lei participated in the post-screening exchange activities.
"The World of Grass and Trees" is the second film in director Gu Xiaogang's landscape series. As an anti-MLM film, the film is based on real events.
The two leading actors in the film, Jiang Qinqin and Wu Lei, are graduates of the Beijing Film Academy’s 1994 and 18th-level acting departments, and are deeply moved to return to their alma mater. Wu Lei even bluntly said that he wanted to cry when he returned to his alma mater with his work again.
I personally think that the most important thing is to believe on set, to believe in the team, to trust the director, and to trust the opponent's actors. You should prepare for the role in the early stage. No matter whether it is used (at the time) or not, it will be used sooner or later. Wu Lei shared his experience in acting in this movie. He believes that every line and action of an actor can reflect whether they are intentional or not.
Jiang Qinqin said that Mu Lian, played by Wu Lei, is a godly child. For Mu Lian, his mother is the object of his salvation. He is very pure and clean, just like a lotus flower, emerging from the mud without being stained, and very tough. . Wu Lei said that Moss Flower is very humane, but under the promotion of MLM, it has become very demonic, and the two sides have become in a state of opposition.
Regarding the question of how actors step into roles, Jiang Qinqin said that actors first need to have unlimited trust in the director, script, etc. In such an atmosphere of trust, actors' expressions will be natural and self-consistent. In addition, she also revealed that when filming the play, the director encouraged the actors to express the characters according to their current feelings, rather than sticking to the script and lines. This also allows for a lot of improvisation in the film.
During the scene under the overpass, I was a dissuasive character, while my mother was already a character who rushed forward regardless of everything. Actually, I didn’t have many lines in that scene, and when I was reading the script in the early stages, it wasn’t a very dramatic scene. Wu Lei said frankly that the famous scene under the overpass in the film was something that happened naturally due to the collision of atmosphere and emotion. Before this, the crew had no special design.
asked the audience whether he was loved as a child star growing up. Wu Lei said that his ability to stand at Nortel's film exchange meeting proved that he was understood and grown up. Jiang Qinqin also jokingly said that Chen Jianbin redeemed him.
Currently, "The World of Grass and Trees" is currently in theaters, and its cumulative box office has exceeded 72 million yuan.
