Kind thoughts are worth sticking to

Shen Xing is like a glimmer of light

In "Once Upon a Time on the Edge of Water", Shen Xing, a migrant worker, ventures into a secret place to survive. In the process of searching for his uncle, he meets the mysterious boss Guess, played by Wu Zhenyu. Uncle, thus starting an adventure full of dangers and making difficult choices in human nature.

The story of the play takes place in the fictional Sansian Slope of a small southwestern border town. It is a tropical exotic land where fish and dragons are mixed, prosperity and decay coexist, where many people are looking for gold and living in mixed society. Shen Xing's uncle mysteriously disappeared when he went out to collect debts. Shen Xing mortgaged his uncle's construction company to find his uncle. As soon as he took the first step, he was framed as a "desperate". As a "working novice", Shen Xing entered the dangerous world of three slopes and met various "ruthless people" who were engaged in selling jade, mining mines, transporting materials, operating casinos and slaughterhouses. Every step he took was a narrow escape. dangerous situation. Shen Xing carefully dealt with all forces and survived while adhering to his humanity. The play shows the complexity of human nature.

When asked why he made this drama, the director said that building a world and presenting a story of righteous brotherhood and love and justice is the type of work he has always wanted to make. "In the past, I used to make fictional dramas with high concepts and special functions. In recent years, I have particularly wanted to make fictional dramas that are more realistic and make people think they are real. I want to create a 'real world' in a down-to-earth way. This kind of work The immersion will be better."

Talking about the protagonist Shen Xing played by Guo Qilin in the play, the director said that Shen Xing is very lucky and a little clever, but if you think about it carefully, it is not only luck that protects him from surviving, but also his kindness. Protecting him. "It was a relatively primitive world of slash-and-burn farming. They scorned such things as kindness. When people did not live by kindness, such things were especially rare. In that dangerous jungle environment, kindness was the most worth holding on to. Shen Xing is like a glimmer of light."

said that Shen Xing represents ordinary small town youths. They have the courage to speak and act without fear of tigers. They also have an innocent and kind side, but they have strong adaptability. , can adapt to any environment.

told reporters that in the first half of "Bianshui Past", the three-sided slope was constructed, and in the second half, the three-sided slope was dismantled, and a world was reached. We also need to reflect on this world, and why the chaotic three-sided slope is like this. Can you change it? "Then they gradually subvert and raise questions, to reflect on whether this world is a world in which they can truly take root and survive."

reckons that the biggest breakthrough of this drama is the construction of a very realistic world, which is fictional , and very realistic, which has not been touched upon in previous works. Secondly, this drama handles group portraits very well. "There are various relationships in the play. At the end, everyone comes out and gets mixed up. It's impossible to predict what will happen next. When these people are put into a scene, it feels like a car running. I also really like it. .”

Attention has been paid to details such as the opening and ending of the film

To ensure the film quality of the play

The play is supervised by the famous filmmaker Cao Baoping, coupled with the director’s cutting-edge style, as well as the play’s innovation in subject matter and type, environment and service The realistic details of the transformation give this drama a strong film quality.

As for how to create this texture, frankly speaking, the team spent a lot of thought on the opening credits and subtitles of each episode. The 21-episode length includes 21 unit stories such as "Henghuo", "Bianshui", "Kaishi" and "Puppet Show". In the title sequence, the regional features of each unit story are presented from a perspective similar to that of a sand table; each episode title also shares some Little easter eggs. In this way, we hope to retain the audience from the beginning.

also revealed the source of the quality of the drama from the perspective of shooting and creation: "We will not rely on lines to advance the plot, but let The combination of audio-visual language and montage effects promotes the plot. Our dramas don’t like standing around speaking lines. The characters are always moving, the scheduling is always alive, and people and the environment are always integrated. "

The play also creates an artificial language - "Bomo" like "Dune" and "Avatar". The play invites linguists to serve as consultants, and the experts combine Dai, Thai and other Southeast Asian language systems The pronunciation, text, grammar, etc., were used to recreate the Bomo language. The purpose of creating this new language was to fit the story environment and enhance the texture. Kuan told reporters that "Bian Shui Past" does not use lines to advance the narrative, and the lines are only expressions of emotions. So you don’t have to worry about not understanding the new language, because you won’t miss the plot if you don’t understand it. The audience will probably know the direction of the story just by looking at the pictures, and will not be constrained by the language.

The cinematic quality and uncompromising innovation create a lot of suspense. The drama stands out as a masterpiece. Regarding the current creation of suspense dramas, Suan said that suspense is just a type, and reasoning, case involvement and even thriller are all included in the suspense genre. The creation of current suspense dramas is about the superposition of information and cannot only be about suspense or solving crimes. It’s about adding everything up. “Today’s audiences demand more information than before, and we can no longer give them simple suspense dramas. The trend in suspense dramas is to superimpose information, and romance dramas also need to superimpose more information. "

Guo Qilin makes the character comedic

Wu Zhenyu's aura is impressive

In the play, Guo Qilin's character image and performance fit the character very well, allowing the audience to see a simple wage earner in a dangerous situation. Desire for survival, wisdom and growth. Kuan believes that Guo Qilin has given this character a unique comedy.

Kuan also shared his experience of inviting Guo Qilin to play Shen Xing. He said that when he met director Cao Baoping, Guo was playing in the office. When it came to Qilin's cross talk, I felt that Guo Qilin was particularly suitable for Shen Xing. After getting in touch with him, I realized that it was not like he wouldn't turn on the character.

said that the character of Shen Xing must be approachable, have a neighborly feel, and be an extremely lively person. He has such a sense of life that he speaks like this in his daily life, and his reaction speed is extremely fast. Such a role can be completely integrated with an actor like Guo Qilin. Shen Xing has a side that resonates very well with the audience.

Talking about performance. Guo Qilin at the scene can be said to be a very well-educated person, and he is very polite to every staff member. That kind of politeness is not just bowing and saying "Hello, teacher", but a very cultivated politeness in the

play. Uncle Guai, played by Wu Zhenyu, is a complex "big boss" that he is very good at. Kuan told reporters that he and Guo Qilin were basically in a state of opening blind boxes at the scene because they didn't know what ideas Wu Zhenyu would give. "Uncle Guai is a bit unpredictable and strange. Wu Zhenyu sometimes discusses the drama with you in a relaxed manner, and sometimes discusses the drama with you seriously. His aura is impressive. "

can say that since he was a child, he has watched the screen characters played by Wu Zhenyu and has been in awe of him."Francis Ng is every boy's dream character. The characters he plays like Brother Kun (a character in the movie "Young and Dangerous") are very classy, ​​with a sense of story between his eyebrows. You can't guess what he is doing, just by watching a sudden scene. People who are far and near make you feel awe and a little afraid of them. These things combined together are Uncle Guai."
