The film version of "Only Green" is adapted from the dance drama of the same name. Through the perspective of the exhibitor, a modern restorer of cultural relics in the Forbidden City, the audience is led to the Song Dynasty. From the perspective of the Northern Song Dynasty painter Wang Ximeng (played by Zhang Han), The world in the masterpiece "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains". Unfolding the scroll, listening to the rain, looking for stones, painting... each scene records the story behind the ten-meter-long painting, using dance to outline the scroll of the Song Dynasty, connecting the craftsmanship of generations of craftsmen and the cultural heritage that spans thousands of years.
Compared with the long-lasting fame of "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains", the author Wang Ximeng is relatively unknown, and there are only a few strokes in history books: Ximeng was eighteen years old, and he was a student in the painting school and was summoned to the banned Chinese library. Several paintings were presented, but not much work was done. The superior knew that his nature could be taught, so he gave instructions and taught him the method himself. Not more than half a year old, this is the way to progress. "In the play, the scenes of Wang Ximeng's paintings are superimposed, like clones. They represent the pain and stubbornness of a young man whose talent was not appreciated. This is also the little-known youthful spirit behind the famous paintings." In Zhang Han's view, there is more about family and country. Feelings, "In an endangered dynasty and in a turbulent environment, he was still willing to draw the country of the Song Dynasty, hoping that the country would last forever. This was also his beautiful vision."

During the post-screening session, the three dancers The reporter talked about the transformation from theater to screen, from dancer to film actor. Liu Yang shared his novel experience during the filming process. Since I had never been involved in film shooting before, I felt physically unwell when I was hanging on the wire. Every time I came down, I had to vomit for a while. After vomiting, I felt dizzy. My head and ears were buzzing when the director was telling the scene. In addition, in order to meet the needs of close-up shooting, the film makeup is also meticulous. When you open the door of the dressing room, you will be greeted by a dazzling array of props. The makeup artist spent more than five hours polishing them carefully just to show the wrinkles on the face of the old man in the play. "It's rare for someone to praise me for not aging my skin no matter how I change it. It's really an unforgettable experience," Liu Yang said jokingly, "but seeing the effect in the final movie made me vomit a hundred times more. , and it’s worth it.”
Meng Qingyang, the actor who plays the role of Qinglu, played by Liu Yang, also shared her understanding of her role at the scene. She believes that “Qinglu” is not only a character, but also a connection between the scroll-roller and Ximeng. A bridge between China's excellent traditional culture. According to Meng Qingyang, dancers are relatively unfamiliar with film shooting, especially close-up shooting. Under the lens, every body movement, expression, eyes and even every pore, and all kinds of details will be magnified. The bigger difference lies in the perception and enjoyment of space between dance dramas and movies: “What is presented in the theater is mostly the stage beauty, dancers, costumes and makeup. There is a lot of blank space on the stage for the audience to imagine, but in the movie it is more concrete, and every character is Details can be enlarged or highlighted and presented to the audience more directly. This is a bold challenge and breakthrough for us. We also hope that everyone can learn more about the dance drama industry and dancers, understand our traditional culture, and share Draw our "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains"

When asked if the cake-eating scene in the play was an improvisation, Zhang Han responded with a smile: "Eating cakes is a fixed plot, and there are 600 stages, every time. Eat. But the method of eating is different every time. The climate of each performance is different, the audience’s reaction is different, the volume of the music is different, and my physical condition is also different. The emotions and perceptions brought about by these factors are different. They are all different. Put yourself into the role, find the most real and authentic state at the moment, and perform it through scenes such as eating cakes and getting on the boat. This is why many viewers are willing to watch more."
In Zhang Han's view, a dance drama can accommodate up to more than 2,000 people to watch, but movies can allow audiences across the country and even the world to feel the charm of traditional Chinese culture without the actors being present, and different audiences can even have the same Audiences of different ages will have different experiences when watching, which is also part of the inheritance. Zhang Han hopes that "Only Green" will make Wang Ximeng's name and story more widely known, and hopes that more people will know about it through this film.
The movie "Only Green" will be released nationwide on October 1.
