The most attention-grabbing event of the annual Beijing Film Festival is the shortlisting and winning of the "Tiantan Award" and "Best Film". This year's "Tiantan Award" and "Best Film" received a total of 1,509 feature films from 118 countries at home and abroad. .
finally had 15 films shortlisted, including 3 Chinese-language films, including " Chao Yun Mu Yu ", " stop and go ", " Journey Through the Moon ", among which there is hope to win the "Tiantan Award" and "Best" "Movie" should be "Morning Clouds and Muyu" that is currently the most popular.
This movie did not receive much publicity in the early stage. It was only announced on April 10th that it will be released on May 17th this year. The finalized trailer of "Morning Cloud and Muyu" has been released on various platforms.
To be honest, I was moved as soon as I saw this movie starring teacher Fan Wei . In fact, most of the film and television dramas starring teacher Fan Wei are winners, and their quality is guaranteed.
Especially when I saw Teacher Fan Wei in the trailer of "Morning Cloud and Muyu" asking for marriage as soon as he was released from prison, and encountered the "immortal jump" kind of contradictory appearance of being honest and honest on the surface, but actually very successful in his heart, I felt crazy with joy.
I really want to know what kind of character Lao Qin played by Fan Wei is?
First of all, let me say that "Morning Clouds and Mud Rain" is adapted from the first shortlisted work "The Murderous Girl in a Wedding Dress" in the second non-fiction writing competition "True Story Project".
Xia Long, the author of this novel, said. Is there a murderous girl in a wedding dress? The fictional stories and plots, even the scenes and details, have been restored as much as possible.
But Lao Qin in the story is very special. If it were not from the "True Story Project", I would really think it was a fictional character by the author.
Lao Qin has experienced two suspended death lawsuits since he was 20 years old:
The first time was because he got into a fight with a coworker while digging a fish pond. He pinned the other man in the fish pond and choked to death in the mud. He was sentenced to suspended death and served 16 years in prison.
The second time was a week after he returned home after serving his sentence. In order to earn money for medical treatment, he asked an inmate in the prison who sold white powder to help him bring a pack of "D-substance". He was caught on the spot, and the amount was 194 grams. , almost a death sentence.
Knowing the seriousness of the matter, Lao Qin originally wanted to wait seriously for the verdict. Who knew that while waiting for the verdict, he went to the toilet at night and saved an inmate who was about to commit suicide. Suspended death. He spent 33 years in prison.
Do you think his urine story is over? not at all!
After Lao Qin was released from prison, he learned that his house was demolished five years ago. Because he was not assigned a resettlement house in prison, he received the most compensation in the village. After he was released from prison, he became a millionaire. household.
Then do you know what the first thing a rich, homeless, and unburdened old man does after he is released from prison? The answer is that he wants to find a woman to get married and have a baby.
Then we saw various scenes in the trailer where Lao Qin is looking for a woman.
First of all, Lao Qin has a very clear understanding of himself. He knows that he is the "second entrant into the palace" and he is old, so he is afraid that he cannot find a woman. So he patronizes both large matchmaking platforms and small marriage agencies.
even raised a soul question: Can I still be happy in a situation like mine?
The person who gave him the answer was the owner of a small marriage agency. As soon as he heard that Lao Qin had no children and still had money, he immediately enthusiastically handed Lao Qin a cigarette and replied with certainty: Of course you will be happy!
However, Lao Qin got more than he expected. The woman found in this way was very proactive. When she saw Lao Qin's face, she rubbed her thighs secretly and gave a series of hints.
Fortunately, Lao Qin was just honest and honest, so he directly explained to this woman: "This is called Immortal Jump." This is how my "brother" on the upper bunk got in. It seems that his 33 years in prison were not in vain.
After many attempts to no avail, Lao Qin felt that given his conditions, he could only find a woman who had also been in prison to marry, so he carried a big sign and went outside the city's women's prison to seek marriage.
When he was very busy, Chang Juan, played by Zhou Dongyu , appeared. She originally just watched the old man struggling from a distance. After learning his intentions, she casually asked: "Old man, do you think I can do it?"
So this marriage of "he wants a child and she wants wealth" became It officially kicked off.
This is originally a story of unfortunate people with strong conflict and profound revelations about life and human nature. However, director Zhang Guoli did not use the usual dark and sensational atmosphere of reality-themed movies. Many story plots in the trailer made people want to laugh.
personally thinks that this kind of output is easier for modern people to accept.
Especially for Fan Wei to play such a conflicting story character, he has a solid grasp of light humor and tragic character. Even if I have not watched the full feature film, I bet that his character Lao Qin can win. .
As for the heroine Zhou Dongyu, she has always been a talented actor. Her movies are basically aimed at winning awards, but the reputation and box office of the movies she starred in in the past two years have been average.
If "Morning Cloud and Muyu", which she collaborated with Teacher Fan, can win the "Tiantan Award" and "Best Film" this time, it will be another blessing for her reputation in the industry.
