Youku White Night Theater's new work "The Past by the Water" is currently on air. The play constructs a bizarre world of images, highlighting the light of humanity through the adventures of small people. Recently, Zhang Yuanhuan, the producer of "The Past by the Water", said in an interview that in fact, Shen Xing (played by Guo Qilin) is a very manly character. He can not only survive in a very complex environment, but also stick to the bottom line of kindness; Uncle Cai (played by Wu Zhenyu) is a very complex person who walks on the edge of life and death to make money, is shrewd and calculating, and in the end he can have an emotional connection with Shen Xing, which reflects the brilliance of humanity.
Shen Xing is a very manly character
"The Past by the Border" tells the story of a young man named Shen Xing who accidentally drifts to a small border town. In the process of looking for his uncle, he meets the mysterious boss Cai Shu, and embarks on a dangerous journey to the "border", where he still sticks to his kind nature amidst numerous temptations. This drama is also the first drama produced by the well-known filmmaker Cao Baoping. In Cao Baoping's view, "The Past by the Border" is a brand-new breakthrough in genre and drama. "Its spectacle, as well as its touch and exploration of human nature, make it more profound and more complex."
Guo Qilin plays the young man Shen Xing.
In the play, Shen Xing, played by Guo Qilin, and Uncle Cai, played by Wu Zhenyu, have a mutual understanding and emotional development. The first collaboration of these two actors with very different styles has also become a major highlight of the play. Zhang Yuanhuan said, "Shen Xing has withstood the test, and at the same time, he puts 'righteousness' first. He lives towards death and does good. In the play, he often faces life and death choices. This also shows how the character should make choices when he is in a desperate situation."

Sufficient realism can resonate with the audience
In "Bianshui Past", a complicated and exotic world - Sanbianpo is fictionalized. In Zhang Yuanhuan's view, "Sanbianpo" must have both a sense of reality and a sense of strangeness. The sense of strangeness is to serve the ultimate dream, and only a sufficient sense of reality can resonate with the audience. For example, the opening of the series focuses on the night market food in Sanbianpo, which is also to create a sense of fireworks right from the start, making it easier for the audience to feel involved; many of Guo Qilin's costumes in the play, including mobile phones, are specially selected by the crew with exotic and contemporary styles; Wu Haishan, played by Wang Xun, has many expensive and rare gems in his office, which are also specially designed to be closer to natural gems mined.
"The Past by the Water" combines a variety of elements such as exotic, adventure, suspense, and even curiosity, including a "sense of the game" as the protagonist goes through levels, upgrades, and fights monsters. At the same time, the play does not let the "little man" Shen Xing use his golden fingers, and does not blindly add cheating elements to Shen Xing, including the final solution to the crisis. It was not done by Shen Xing alone, but by Shen Xing and Uncle Cai and others. In Zhang Yuanhuan's view, the diverse and mixed style is the characteristic of the play, and it is also a major reason for choosing Guo Qilin to star in the play. He hopes that Guo Qilin can bring a grassroots perspective to the character, and through him, look at the "three slopes" created in the play. "Guo Qilin has a sense of relaxation. He can act out Shen Xing's sense of civilians or the feeling of a little man. He is very suitable."
