Today, the movie "Dogs", directed by Guan Hu and starring Peng Yuyan and Tong Liya, has recently released its final trailer and poster. It has been officially announced that it will be released nationwide on June 15. The movie "Dogs" is the only Chinese-language film shortlisted for the "Un Certain Regard" section of Cannes this year. It will have its world premiere in Cannes on May 18, French time.
The movie "Dog Formation" is director Guan Hu's latest realism masterpiece, and it is also an exploration of the author's expression. The film tells the story of Erlang (played by Peng Yuyan), who had just been released from prison in a northwest town more than ten years ago, returned to his hometown. Faced with prejudice and precautions, he did not know how to start a new life. After being forced to join the dog hunting team to make a living, Erlang rescued a stray black dog and gained the courage to hit the road again while getting along with the black dog. In the trailer, the similar situation of one person and one dog taking ID photos is impressive. Neither Erlang, who had just been released from prison, nor the stray black dog were truly accepted, but one person and one dog went on the road together, and their full vitality was inspiring. The scheduled posters released together with
are full of literary and artistic qualities, and the feeling of loneliness is also felt. Through the silhouette of the black dog, we can see the tiny Erlang standing in the middle of the road with his head down in frustration. How will one person and one dog regain their fighting spirit and gain the courage to "go on the road again" under the predicament of fate?
director Guan Hu once said frankly: "This is the most enjoyable shooting ever." This is also the first time in fifteen years that Guan Hu has created with humans and animals as the protagonists after the highly acclaimed film " Bullfighting ". Director Jia Zhangke, who made a special appearance in the movie, also said that he "very much likes the atmosphere and vivid characters presented in the script." After the crew saw the beginning of the film that Director Guan Hu tried to shoot, he even said bluntly, "It's very shocking. I believe it will be great." It’s a masterpiece.”
starring Peng Yuyan said, "This is an unprecedented shooting experience." Since he has very few lines, he needs to use his eyes and body a lot to express the character. His dark complexion, slightly hunched back, indifferent and dull eyes, and his state of being at a loss in the crowd are heart-wrenching and distressing. Off-screen, Peng Yuyan also forged a deep friendship with Black Dog. Not only did he join the set in advance to train with the dog actors, but he also adopted Black Dog after filming was completed. The story of one person and one dog continued into reality, which is touching.
