According to Jiang Qinqin's introduction in Dong Yuhui's live broadcast room, the reason why she took over the filming of "The World of Grass and Trees" was not because she was attracted by the "anti-MLM" theme, but because she hoped to collaborate with director Gu Xiaogang. Gu Xiaogang is a young director with no academic background, but his directorial debut "Spring River Water Warmth" shocked the film industry. Jiang Qinqin was also moved by the oriental poetic image aesthetics in his works. "His works are very much like a very old director." The director made the film, but I didn’t expect him to be so young. "Such a talented director is what every actor is eager to work with, so Jiang Qinqin, Chen Jianbin, and Wu Lei all decisively joined "The World of Grass and Trees."
Jiang Qinqin said that she and Wu Taihua, whom she plays in the movie, seem to be growing up at the same time. “All her experiences and encounters are in sync with my spiritual world. She longs for self-establishment and awakening, and I have been an actor for so many years. I also long to be that 'me'. After I graduated from film school, I have always looked forward to making a good movie and having a good role one day. I also want to have my name engraved in the movie like other senior brothers and sisters. On the 'Pyramid' of our school, I also want to be that kind of person."
On the podium of the Asian Film Awards, Jiang Qinqin emphatically thanked her lover Chen Jianbin because he has been "praising and encouraging" her.

Wu Lei has "Old" Soul"
After praising his wife, Chen Jianbin began to praise Wu Lei with great colors, and his words were very sincere, with details in every sentence, which made Wu Lei extremely moved after hearing this.

Chen Jianbin said frankly that he was a child star. Wu Lei has been in various film crews since he was a child. "After all, he has been in the arena for a long time, and it is difficult to avoid the atmosphere of the arena, but he has a very good mechanism to eliminate all these things. This energy I'm very moved."

Chen Jianbin, who witnessed the "drama" between Jiang Qinqin and Wu Lei on the set, also praised Wu Lei's acting skills, which surprised him, "Teacher Jiang is a mature actor. I saw that Wu Lei can completely match up with Teacher Jiang." , you come and go, tit for tat, sparks fly, I think this is an actor that you respect."
In Chen Jianbin's performance philosophy, he believes that actors must first enter a state of selflessness, and then talk about acting skills. "If you don't go in without sacrificing yourself, and don't go in selflessly, then your acting skills will be superfluous and will be a disservice. "
People must not be greedy

If a person's desire for success, desire for love, and desire for respect are strong enough, But you didn't get it, "Then you may be attracted to the fire by a moth. Sometimes your reason tells you that it is fire, but when that huge brainwashing offensive comes, it will be difficult for you to resist. "
is just like Wu Taihua in the movie. Jiang Qinqin's understanding of this character is that Wu Taihua has suffered setbacks in family, love, and career, and feels that she has been abandoned by everyone. "At this time, someone said, I will hug you, I will Take care of you and I will help you make money, then you must open your arms to them, even if you know that you have been cheated. "
Wu Lei used his own childhood experience to remind netizens not to be greedy for petty gains. It turned out that when Wu Lei was 11 years old, he saved a month's pocket money to buy "Q coins", but was exposed on the Internet. I was defrauded of 60 yuan through a "low-price purchase" scam. "At that moment, I felt that I had nothing... From then on, I told myself that pie will not fall from the sky, and I will be down-to-earth and be myself." There must be no greed. "
Long-lasting love requires mutual appreciation
During the conversation, Dong Yuhui heard that Chen Jianbin and Jiang Qinqin had been calling each other "teacher" and was very curious about the couple's secrets of preserving love. Chen Jianbin also generously sent "dog" to netizens "Grain", "Teacher Jiang and I are lucky, we found each other. She can tolerate a lot of things about me, and I like things about her very much. I deeply believe in the saying, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." It means that you must find your pair of eyes. She will look at you as if she were looking at a beauty. How happy you are to live in these eyes! If you find someone who finds fault with you every day, your life will be bleak.
