ning hao: telling a life comedy quietly
the beijing-produced film "breaking good guys" co-directed by ning hao and xu lei was released yesterday. ge you, a representative figure of beijing style comedy, and the friendly and beautiful beijing city scenery such as hutongs, bell and drum towers, and contemporary architectural skylines highlight the simple, warm and kind characters and stories of the "beijing uncle", and jointly interpret the rich beijing with laughter.
ge you naturally has a simple and marketable cute temperament
the story of "zhang beijing universe" originated from the "hello beijing" section of the 2019 national day movie "my motherland and me". it tells the story of beijing's grand hosting of the summer olympics. zhang beijing's brother experienced an inner struggle and finally decided to the story of "giving up" his opening ceremony tickets to fulfill others' precious dreams. then in the 2020 national day episode "my hometown and me" in the "beijing good guys" section, zhang beijing appeared on the screen again, showing the spiritual pursuit and style of the times of a new era "brother", and won praise from the audience. at that time, some viewers commented: "zhang beijing under ning hao's lens, through uncle ge's interpretation, is full of the mark of the times and human touch."
this time, ge you plays the role of zhang beijing for the third time in "breaking good guys". when his son grew up and was getting married, zhang beijing, a taxi driver, really wanted the opportunity to speak at his son's wedding. "he thinks he should show something in front of his son, so he wants to tell his son that your father is great, no less than your adoptive father." ning hao said.
"film creation cannot be done in isolation. you must consider your collaborators and your role. teacher ge you is particularly charming, cute and excellent. he can always show his kind nature in a relaxed and pleasant way. i try my best to to bring out those fun, relaxed and kind qualities in him." ning hao said that he was very happy to work with ge you, "we all felt that we found something very interesting in teacher ge. simple and businesslike temperament.”
the collision between "beijing uncle" and the internet reflects beijing's "tolerance"
in fact, after "my hometown and me", ning hao began to conceive of making zhang beijing's story into a feature film. he said: "'breaking good guys' is a story that is relevant to us. i hope to tell a comedy about life quietly, just like in real life."
talking about the collision between the "beijing man" and the internet in the film, ning hao said: "we filmed small stories around us. the internet has become a particularly close material in our lives. almost every one of us lives on the internet." this kind of collision also reflects beijing's tolerance. "this is a characteristic of beijing. it is integrated and can be put together through the ages." when the old and new lifestyles conflict and contradict, it constitutes the most interesting part of the drama.
zhang beijing in the film also wears a cowboy hat, echoing the english title of the film, hutong cowboy. ning hao explained that when zhang beijing puts on a cowboy hat, he will feel like a "character". "so his rights protection is a cowboy's chivalry, just like the knight in our traditional culture. in his heart, the character hopes to become such a cowboy who can do chivalry and justice."
the performances are mostly improvisational and beijing-style comedy-style chatting is in line with the hutong ecology.
"breaking good guys" brings together actors such as ge you, li xueqin, yang haoyu, sang ping, liu mintao, wu lei, jia bing, etc. their cordial and humorous performances outline a group portrait full of joy and life. ning hao said with a smile that the actors had a lot of improvisational performances, and everyone would get inspiration when they were acting. "it's like the scene where teacher ge and lingzi were repairing the car. he got out from under the car. he was very cute and had just the right sense of proportion." good."
in the play, the "rights protection trio" formed by zhang beijing and two friends also have ulterior motives. ning hao said: "because one of the specialties of beijing-style comedy is lines, and everyone has to chat, so two people have to cooperate with him, and i think the trio also fits the lifestyle of the hutong."
"the hot guy" is a beijing-style comedy. "this form of comedy integrates the unique cultural characteristics of beijingers. beijing is a city with very developed language and culture, providing rich soil for beijing-style comedy." ning hao said, hoping to capture the richness of beijing through the lens.
this shooting mainly focused on two areas. "the first is at the foot of the drum tower. this is a very emotional place for me personally. i have often sat in the area of the drum tower since i was studying. i feel that the drum tower travels through time, and it protects and nurtures me." generation after generation.”
another place was discovered by wang ang, the screenwriter of the film. ning hao said: "he is an old beijinger. one day he showed me his mobile phone. there was a street and alley with both traditional roofs and modern buildings in the distance. "

ge you: there will always be things to help people
"beijing story" in the "me and my series" finally has a feature-length sequel. ge you described zhang beijing: "he is a bit naughty, but he still pursues some things. he is a warm-hearted person who is willing to help others." therefore, he formed a "threesome" with his two old friends, teacher yang and brother kui. "going to defend their rights, ge you likes their "threesome" very much and thinks it's "fun". "they are also very simple. they are close buddies. they can do something together, be happy and help each other. in fact, without the encouragement of these two people, zhang beijing would not be able to do it."
in the film, the story of zhang beijing helping single mother xiaoqin and her son is touching. ge you thinks this is zhang beijing. "he is a good person. when he sees that other people are having a hard time, he immediately jumps in and wants to help them. his motives are not complicated, and he does not want to be a hero. he is just out of a kind heart. i think, no matter what happens in beijing, these things to help people will always be there.”
li xueqin: it’s fun to play with uncle ge
li xueqin had many scenes opposite ge you in the film. she said that every scene with the "uncle" was very interesting. she believes that zhang beijing’s background is kind and simple. “although zhang beijing has caused trouble to xiaoqin a lot, xiaoqin has never blamed him. she has always trusted zhang beijing very much and is very grateful to zhang beijing. she feels that he is quite good. sharp."
li xueqin said that she was very nervous when she acted with ge you for the first time, but ge you was very relaxed and made people feel friendly. "we rehearsed the tragic scene together. i was fully immersed in the performance of the character's tragic fate with tears in my eyes, but the uncle's performance brought an unexpected turn, and even we couldn't help but laugh. . i think every scene is interesting.”
