recently, the movie "hedgehog" directed by gu changwei and starring ge you and wang junkai was officially released. many viewers found that there are many shenyang elements in this movie. at present, the total box office of this movie has exceeded 100 million yuan nationwide, and the box office in shenyang has also exceeded 1 million, with great box office potential.
according to the reporter, the screenwriter of the film is zheng zhi, a young writer from shenyang. the film is adapted from his novel "xian syndrome". he also won the "best screenwriter award" at the 26th shanghai international film festival golden goblet award for this film. zheng zhi said in an interview, "i hope the audience in shenyang will support this film. i also hope that the audience from other places will go to shenyang to see it and experience the culture of northeast china after watching it."
"lao xue" and chicken racks were "moved" into the big screen
"hedgehog" tells the story of the friendship between wang zhantuan, a middle-aged man from northeast china, and his "stuttering" nephew zhou zheng. both of them are immersed in their own world, and in the eyes of others they are people who do not play by the rules, but they understand and support each other and become an indispensable part of each other's lives.
in the movie "hedgehog", it is directly pointed out that the city where the story is set is shenyang. some elements unique to shenyang - snow beer, ba wang si soda, the beautiful scenery of hunhe river, etc. - all appear in the movie. in recent years, shenyang's cultural tourism has become popular, and catering and tourism have become shenyang's city business cards. zheng zhi said when talking about his hometown: "the culture of the northeast has great advantages in film and television works. over the years, through sketches and tv dramas, the culture of the northeast has long been deeply rooted in my country's popular culture, and the humor of the people of the northeast has been recognized by people all over the country. for me, the images and stories i write are all the hometown life that i am familiar with, and i also hope that through the release of the movie, i can make a little contribution to the publicity of my hometown."
it tells a story about the warmth between people in northeast china.
the combination of wang junkai and ge you also became a highlight of the film. wang junkai said: "this is a role i have never seen before, a 'stuttering' teenager. his family upbringing and the stories that happened in this big family are very attractive to me. i think this role will definitely resonate with audiences who have experienced puberty. zhou zheng is actually very soft. he loves his family, is kind and inferior, but at the same time he is stubborn and has his own opinions."
in the film, the emotional bond between wang zhantuan and zhou zheng, who support and redeem each other, is deeply moving. zheng zhi said: "this is a story of warmth between people in northeast china. wang zhantuan is the one who holds an umbrella for zhou zheng. he takes him to eat chicken racks when other children laugh at him. he helps zhou zheng out of the window when his parents are scolding him. he climbs a tree to hand him a bottle of bawangsi soda when zhou zheng is in solitary confinement... he always stands behind zhou zheng without hesitation, giving him understanding and protection, as if he is also supporting himself who was not accepted back then."
ge you said: "i once said that as i get older, my acting range becomes narrower, but i really like being an actor, so i'm just waiting for the right role. this time i met wang zhantuan, and i feel like a suitable and interesting role has come. in fact, wang zhantuan and zhou zheng are very much like hedgehogs, incompatible with everything around them, covered with thorns to keep people away. but because they have been with each other for a long time and understand each other, they can let down their guard against each other. this is a heartwarming story."
northeastern culture can heal inner trauma
the film was well received by the audience in shenyang. the reporter interviewed some of the audience in the cinema.
audience member ms. li said: "this afternoon i went to see the long-awaited movie "hedgehog". i am a fan of the original author and screenwriter of this movie, mr. zheng zhi. the first work of mr. zheng zhi that i have read is the original novel of this movie, "xian syndrome". after watching the movie, i have new feelings. this movie reminds us that everyone is a unique individual, and we should learn to accept and respect these differences, rather than simply define a person as "normal" or "abnormal". in this diverse world, everyone has his or her own place, and every heart has its own temperature. just like the characters in "hedgehog", no matter what role we play in life, we should learn to find our own position and direction in society. i will go to eat chicken racks and stretched noodles in a while, and feel the warm atmosphere of human fireworks in shenyang again."
audience member mr. zhang said: "the wonderful world of northeast china in the film hides the brilliance of humanity in many northeast families, which is a manifestation of the justice, enthusiasm and kindness of shenyang people. i give a thumbs up to this movie."
bai qingxiu, secretary general of the shenyang film and television association, said: "in recent years, there have been a lot of film and television works with shenyang elements. on the one hand, it shows that northeast culture is loved by the public, and on the other hand, it also shows that shenyang's popular cultural and tourism elements can add highlights to film and television works. i believe that there will be more and more film and television works with shenyang as the background."
