They have been adapted into 4 movies and 8 TV dramas, setting off a wave of spy wars in film and television dramas again and again. "Decryption" tells the story of Rong Jinzhen, who is gifted in mathematics but lonely and fragile, and devotes all her life to the cause of code deciphering.

Although this year marks Chen Sicheng’s tenth year of transitioning from actor to director, it is the first time that he has put a literary work on the big screen. According to previous media reports, in 2020, Chinese Film Industry approached Chen Sicheng with the script of "Decryption" written by Canadian screenwriter Christopher and invited him to be the director. In Chen Sicheng's opinion, the feelings about the times and destiny in the book are the most touching.

As an outstanding young actor from Henan, Liu Haoran's road show in Zhengzhou is equivalent to returning to his hometown. The task of "speaking Henan dialect on the spot" fell on him without hesitation. Although Liu Haoran modestly said that his Henan dialect is not good at all. Not good, but he still taught other actors to introduce themselves in standard Henan dialect as much as possible. When the host said that Henan people like to say "中", Liu Haoran popularized it in a timely manner, "Henan dialect is actually not difficult to understand and easy to learn. It is pronounced the same as Mandarin. Similar, but with different intonations. In addition to "中", some places in Henan also say "guan". There are still differences in different regions. "

Talking about feelings: Appreciating both refined and popular tastes, everyone can get different amounts of information

There were many on the day of the meeting. As a child audience, as a director, Chen Sicheng is very pleased that children can understand the story of "Decryption". He said: "In fact, all works of art hope to reach the point where both refined and popular people can appreciate them. I hope everyone can see different things in them. , to obtain different amounts of information. "

In 2014, "Actor Chen Sicheng" began to transform into "Director Chen Sicheng". In November of the same year, the National Film Administration launched the "China-US Film Talent Exchange Program", and the first batch of people selected to go to the United States were Chen Sicheng, Ning Hao, Xiao Yang, Lu Yang and Guo Fan.

Netizens jokingly said that he has achieved "self-consistency" in film shooting, and has subsequently become a person who "masters the code of film wealth".

Chen Sicheng has his own ambitions for this time's "Decryption". He frankly said that he has been anxious in recent years because the global film market is shrinking, but movies are his belief, so he thought about how to let people enter the theater in a real sense. Chen Sicheng said: "How to make something that can be seen on any medium, then everyone will gradually watch it in the living room or on the computer, and the uniqueness, uniqueness and majesty of the movie will become weaker and weaker. "

Chen Sicheng wants to make more movies that can only be felt when you go into the theater. "Decryption", which is all produced by a domestic special effects team, is an attempt. "We are quite far away from the mature Hollywood film industry system, so Chinese movies We must be aware of our shame and then be brave, and work hard to show all our energy in the movie, hoping to defend a little bit of the face of Chinese movies and make everyone believe that Chinese filmmakers can also make such things.”
