Chinanews.com, Shanghai, February 25th (Reporter Li Jiajia) After the flowers in the Spring Festival of the Year of the Rabbit in Guimao, a work with left-behind children in northern Shaanxi as the theme met audiences across the country on the 25th.

With the configuration of "amateur" + "dialect", the unpopular "Rattle Drum" has unexpectedly won a high reputation in Shanghai. In the words of Professor Shi Chuan of the Shanghai Theater Academy: "It's like when other movies are full of makeup and show off. Suddenly, a beauty without makeup appeared in front of your eyes."

  "The Rattle Drum" tells the touching story of a vengeful shopkeeper who lost his beloved son and a left-behind child looking for his father, from "unreciable" to the touching story of father and son. The English translation of the film "Like Father, Like Son" seems to be It can better cut to the core of the film.

Although the film's slogan is "It's funny, don't cry", but at the end of the film, when the left-behind child Maodou, played by the young actor Bai Zeze, held a rattle and cried "Uncle Gou", he chased the car of the hero and truck driver Gou Ren While running, many viewers were still moved to tears.

  Three years ago, "The Rattle Drum" was awarded the "Excellent Project in Production" by the project venture capital of the 10th Beijing International Film Festival.

With the careful cultivation of director Bai Zhiqiang and the help of senior screenwriter Lu Wei, this carefully cared for flower bone finally blooms its own beauty.

  Speaking of the opportunity to make this film, Bai Zhiqiang said, "I was filming a documentary "Walking and Singing" and I was sleeping in a rural school. I didn't expect that 160 children in the school were poor left-behind children, and 60 of them were left behind. Many of them were orphans and single parents. I was taken aback by such a concentrated situation. We interviewed several children, and the families of these children were shocking. Later, we launched a work called 'Spark Support', During the two-year support process, it was found that these children were particularly lacking in love and care. Giving money would not solve any major problems at all. Giving some clothes was only temporary. They had no vision for the future, no hope for life, and nothing in life They are role models, so they are growing wildly like weeds. If they are made into a documentary, they will eventually grow up. I am worried that their future will be affected when they grow up, so I came up with the idea of ​​shooting the first feature film. "

  "Desperately Real" is probably the deepest impression this film has left on viewers.

"The plot of this film comes from the countryside, with a simple and rough style. The main creators are almost all amateurs, but they have come up with a high-quality work of high quality." Shi Chuan, a professor at the Shanghai Theater Academy who has watched "Rattle Drum", gave this film Quite a high evaluation, he said: "In response to that sentence, high-end ingredients often only require the simplest cooking. This film has a clear realism orientation, with coldness and sharpness in the face of the helpless grassroots situation on the edge, and also Compassionate empathy and warmth, as well as the aftertaste and endless nostalgia that have long disappeared from our sight. After the craze of the Spring Festival stalls subsides, this simple and sincere film should bring unexpected surprises to the market. "

  Liu Haibo, a professor at the Shanghai Film Academy of Shanghai University, said that this is a rough and warm story in the Northwest countryside without any embellishments. .

  Liu Haibo believes that the real, simple, and rough style of this film is similar to the early works of the sixth-generation directors such as Jia Zhangke, "Now China is a rapidly developing and prosperous China on the one hand, and a country with rural areas China is traditional, but we have forgotten it behind us. This film just happened to jump out of the "Manchu Banquet" and "Big Fish and Big Meat" during the Spring Festival, so we have to look back at the way we came from." Liu Haibo said.

  On the website, a netizen named "Famous Ruthless Man in Liaobei" gave this film a high score of 9 points.

He wrote: "It can be seen that the director is telling a story very seriously. The story seems to have no waves, but it is very uneven and real. I even feel more like watching a documentary, a film that happened in my life. Documentaries around me." Another netizen named "A Ball of Meatball" gave a perfect score of 10. He wrote: "It is indeed a wonderful day, a film that heals wounds on the road, The plain language of the camera conveyed the most sincere emotional resonance. After the laughter, there were tears in the eyes. Unsurprisingly, the "booking" was actually a bit sad. A story that is warm, plain, sincere, and not desperate. I hope there will be more People can watch it, it’s very good, I cried 4 times in 97 minutes, it’s obviously a comedy, but it’s full of tears, it’s not sad but warm, I hope I can give this movie more pomp.” (End)
