Director Sheng Ding reveals the ＂hot pot＂ doorway. Comments on Yu Qian and Yang Mi’s acting skills

Special feature of 1905 film network The suspense comedy film was released on May 1st, 2024, directed by and starring,,,,,.

The film tells the story that four strangers share the stolen goods in the backstage warehouse of the theater, but they are accidentally involved in a murder case. A hot pot in YOLO rolls with endless suspense, and greed and deception lead to a series of reversals. Finally, the special identity of the four people gradually surfaced, and the mysterious truth is also coming to the fore.

What’s so particular about the hot pot in Jiugongge in the movie? The studio of ""moved to a real hot pot! Director Sheng Ding and the host talked about this hot pot movie on the spot. Director Sheng Ding thinks that the most important thing is "fire", for example, in the movie "Nothing can’t be solved in a hot pot" played by Yu Qian, who is the director of the hot pot, and director Sheng Ding thinks it is the middle of the nine squares — — "fire"

The other eight squares in Jiugongge, such as Mo Ji, Fu Director, Fa Cai and 70,000 in the movie, are small fire, medium fire and fierce fire, which are constantly changing according to the plot.

At this point, Director Sheng Ding humorously appealed to the audience to enter the cinema: "If there is another fire, it will be the fire of the audience. I hope that the audience will help more at this time, so that our hot pot fire will be stronger and the taste will be stronger! "

Then, in this issue of "Today’s Film Review", Sheng Ding, the director, will be a guest to talk about the hit film "Nothing can’t be solved by a hot pot" directed by him.

One of the highlights of the film is the red hair and performance of actor Yang Mi. According to the director, Yang Mi didn’t catch fire in the first third of the film, and everyone would think that she was an "incombustible" with a simple and ignorant role, but she was paving the way for the subsequent contrast.

By the time of Yang Mi’s cross-dressing, Yang Mi suddenly became a red head. When she sat on the table eating hot pot, Yang Mi in the camera became a completely different person.

Regarding Yang Mi’s performance, Director Sheng Ding said: "From the aspects of eyes, voice and voice expression, the status of the characters has changed, and the gas field has spread out. When I watched it on the monitor, I felt that the characters basically became." Therefore, Yang Mi’s role as a chicken is compared to "fierce fire".

Besides Yang Mi’s careful polishing of the characters, Yu Qian’s analysis of the characters is particularly profound. Director Sheng Ding revealed that Yu Qian’s character Jiubing had originally set up a scene in which Yu Ailei wanted to smoke and Yu Qian refused to let him. It turns out that this scene has no comedy effect. Now they have designed a bridge that blows, blows out, opens again and blows out again, and interprets a key scene with silent performance.

And after the complicated plot, the relationship between them is closer, which continues the previous smoking behavior, with very delicate connotation and rich emotional changes.

In addition to the dedication of the actors, the popularity of the May Day schedule is inseparable from the active participation of movie audiences. If a movie wants to be popular, it depends on the audience’s choice. Faced with so many audiences’ comments, Director Sheng Ding chose to face directly in the program. What would he say?

"It would be better if the duration was controlled at about one and a half hours.The large-scale script killing is very dramatic, and the actors perform delicately. "

Director Sheng Ding said that when he wrote the script, he planned to film 95 scenes in about two hours, and now the whole film really exceeds four minutes. It takes two hours to tell this story, and each scene is more than one minute. If you subtract half an hour, you will lose about 20 scenes, so you will lose it.allowmanyPlot. So it won’t fit in an hour and a half.

"Mahjong, hot pot, and opera elements have nothing to do with each other, but in the atmosphere where movie crime plots and joy coexist, everything is nothing."

In the movie, the distance between roles is relatively close, so it is impossible to do complicated scheduling actions. It also includes a lot of dialogue and inner activities of actors. Director Sheng Ding thinks that in such a performance environment, the characters need the fulcrum of behavior.

Mahjong, hot pot and Sichuan Opera can be regarded as elements that reflect the fireworks in Sichuan and Chongqing, and they all have symbolic meanings. For example, mahjong is used in the first part of the film when telling the plan. This feeling of planning and fighting suggests the psychological activities of the characters.

And when "Guan Yu" broke in, Director Fu took a "seventy-two-change" the Monkey King Facebook, but was subdued by Guan Yu. In fact, the mask itself has its own meaning and information, and the Monkey King, who is omnipotent, can’t "play broadsword" in front of Guan Gong.

As the "chef" of the movie "Nothing can’t be solved with a hot pot", director Sheng Ding once heard many voices of doubt: "Director Sheng Ding is an action film director with average storytelling ability". For Sheng Ding, these comments can’t discourage him. Ambitious, he hopes to make the audience feel that he is also a good storyteller through his works.

I remember at the premiere, the director commented on Sheng Ding: "You made a literary drama into a martial arts drama." Sheng Ding also agreed after listening. "This is what I want to do."

Referring to the behind-the-scenes story, Sheng Ding, in order to make Wen Nengwu, brought the tension of rhythm and the smoothness of perception through audio-visual language and editing techniques, and experienced difficult choices and choices on the editing stage. Finally, this version presented to you is the seventeenth version.

Before the film was released, Sheng Ding also publicized the film for many times in public. Now the film "has seen the light of day", which needs the audience to test not only the "Meet the Works" that Yang Mi promised to the audience at the beginning of the year, but also an answer sheet of director Sheng Ding about "telling a good story".

During the May Day holiday, I hope that this film "Nothing Can’t be Solved in a Hot Pot" can help the audience to relieve the pressure of work and life, enter suspense by comedy, take a trip to Sichuan and Chongqing through movies, and experience the open-minded psychology of "carrying the past and solving it" in the movie.
