The movie is adapted from the true story "The Murderous Girl in a Wedding Dress". It tells the story of Lao Qin (Fan Wei), a released prisoner who started a new life with 1.5 million yuan as compensation for demolition, but unexpectedly met Chang Juan (played by Zhou Dongyu), a 24-year-old girl who was also just released from prison. He asked for a child, she asked for wealth, and the two people, who were both "reduced from the world", began a profit marriage with their own purposes.
"Morning Cloud and Mud Rain" is the first time that the well-known actor Zhang Guoli directed the film "The 601st Call" in 2006, nearly twenty years later. At the event, he said that he was sitting in the middle of the audience during the screening. "To be honest, I was a little numb to the movie, but I just watched it again with everyone, and I felt moved again. Now, everyone They are all watching comedies and big-themed movies. The characters in such a story are both miserable and triumphant. It can be said that it has not been seen on the big screen for a long time. "

Zhang Guoli confessed. He said that movies should be a powerful art form, "I admire Chang Juan's vitality in the movie, and I admire Lao Qin's survivability. These two people make us feel that they are alive in life. When we were filming , even until the end of the film, I tried to avoid any sensationalism, just to show the vivid and real side of life. "After reading the script, although there are no big scenes in it, it brought me a lot of emotions and emotions," Zhou Dongyu said, Chang Juan is the most desperate character she has played since she started acting. "Her despair is not something that everyone can see easily, but she always keeps it in her heart and endures it silently. This kind of contrast and struggle is really difficult to grasp, and she The expression is not dramatic, but the more natural the better. "

"Lao Qin and Chang Juan are both controversial figures, and Lao Qin is very kind-hearted. The original side of him is filial piety, which is his obsession. He wants to have a child, live the rest of his life, and give an explanation to his parents and himself. Chang Juan has planned her final outcome since she was released from prison. Follow your own path," Zhang Guoli added. The
movie has previously released a trailer for the "Love Business" version. Regarding whether there is love between Lao Qin and Zhou Dongyu in the film, Zhou Dongyu believes that "poor people must be hateful. The pitiable Chang Juan deceived Lao Qin. There is no doubt that she was actually moved by Lao Qin during certain moments when the two of them got along. "
" Chang Juan's biggest problem was that she could not deceive him anymore. In the end, she could no longer deceive him. She met Lao Qin. For such a person who was so kind to her, Lao Qin had constant doubts until Chang Juan became a vegetative state and he found her destiny by serving her. " Zhang Guoli said.
"There is no actor who doesn't want to work with Mr. Fan Wei. Whether it is on or off the screen this time, I think he is well-deserved. I think talking about his acting skills is to underestimate him. He is like a sweeping monk, performing "I have reached a certain level of cultivation and realm," Zhou Dongyu said when talking about the scene opposite Fan Wei.
Fan Wei plays Lao Qin, and Zhou Dongyu plays Chang Juan
Zhang Guoli was full of praise for Zhou Dongyu's performance, "I won't say much about Teacher Fan Wei's acting skills. Looking at the current domestic cast, it is most suitable to choose these two. In order to play a good role this time, Dongyu experienced life twice. When filming in Huangshan, Anhui, she went to the hospital to observe the characteristics of vegetative people. In fact, there are many forms of vegetative people, one of which is sitting still without any expression. In one corner, there was another one where she could not control the spasm of her facial muscles. She chose the latter, which was the most difficult one to perform.And she has been trying to figure out the role and release the most accurate performance points. "
" As a director, there are three plots in the film that particularly moved me. Zhang Guoli said, "The first scene was when Lao Qin and Chang Juan were in the cauliflower field. She said to him, 'Old man, let's get married.' ’ Zhou Dongyu’s expression was still a bright smile one moment, but tears flowed out the next second. When he kissed Lao Qin, he still left tears on his cheek. The second scene is when Chang Juan is rescued after committing suicide, and Lao Qin pushes her home. When that scene was being filmed, it was raining, and there were fire trucks on site 'making rain'. When the cart tipped over, Chang Juan's face was exposed from under the umbrella. Dong Yu's performance at that moment was both accurate and It's heartbreaking. Finally, at the end of the film, the two people looked through the kitchen window at the fireworks blooming in the sky. In fact, they both spent their best years in prison. There was an indescribable tranquility and warmth in that moment. "
