1905 movie network news On February 10, the Spring Festival inspirational comedy starring director Rao Xiaozhi was revealed to the audience for his unique absurd comedy style.

But who knew that Rao Xiaozhi, who had won 790 million box office and high reputation as a dark horse, was in a long period of anxiety after entering the "Crowd" project, and even "nervous enough to suspect that he had a heart attack".

In the face of the strongest Spring Festival, in the face of Andy Lau’s joining, Rao Xiaozhi admitted that the popularity of "Crowd" had a bad start and was worried that it would live up to Brother Hua’s expectations, but Andy Lau’s reply gave him a shot in the arm: "Your talent will definitely be seen."

Xiao Yang was tortured the worst by Rao Xiaozhi, but still praised him as a "natural director"

The studio director Andy Lau’s "soul pumping" skillfully explains the troubles of Wan Qian’s lines

As a friend of Rao Xiaozhi for many years, Xiao Yang did not hide her recognition of the director. On the set of "The Crowd", Xiao Yang was always the one who was abused the most. The director’s requirements for him were also very high, always saying "another one" "can be better", and even in a scene where Liu Dehua slapped Xiao Yang bluntly: "Brother Hua should really fan it, the effect of real fan is better."

So Xiao Yang was forcibly slapped by Liu Dehua 36 times. But when it comes to the evaluation of the director, Xiao Yang still sincerely said that "he is naturally suitable to be a director, because he is not only immersed in his own world, but also can solve the difficulties in reality tit for tat." For example, when Wan Qian was faced with a difficult line and asked for advice on the spot, Rao Xiaozhi could immediately "prescribe the right medicine" to help her understand the character’s mood.

As a director with a very strong personal style, Rao Xiaozhi has an innate sense of humor, just as Xiao Yang described it as a "high-level joy." In the filming of the scene where Andy Lau taught Xiao Yang how to play the role of being stabbed to death, the director took a flash of inspiration from Andy Lau’s traditional character characteristics and proposed, "Brother Hua, you can add that kind of twitch." As it turned out, the performance became one of the most talked-about passages because of the temporary "twitch".

Andy Lau’s original sound in Mandarin, Rao Xiaozhi incarnated as a "sparring partner"

The line "nanny style" demonstration is very professional

At the request of the director, the whole film of "Crowd" must be played by Andy Lau in Mandarin, and no dubbing is used. It is difficult to know that there are not many movies with the original sound of Hua Ge’s Mandarin, and what is even more difficult is that he has to read the tongue twister "800 Pacesetters Run to the North Slope" fluently in the film. It is said that this tongue twister scene is also the most difficult one for Hua Ge. He practices back and forth on the set and reads the script anytime and anywhere.

In this director’s special, Andy Lau broke the news that "the director will read every line specially to me." In order to have a better line effect, the director will read every line to Andy Lau first, and then the two will communicate the final expression effect. Especially for some lines of stage performances, the stage director Rao Xiaozhi will read words synchronously with Brother Hua, looking for differences, and perfecting them to the best effect over and over again.

1905 movie network feature "With us around, the remote water supply can’t be cut off." In the movie, the firefighter Xu Xiaobin, who plays the role, jumps into the sea full of oil and flames in order to clean the water pump.

He worked hard to repair, and the final image of his unfortunate sacrifice was vivid and heroic in the lens of the underwater photographer, causing many viewers to cry.

In the movie, the "Expendables" attacked Jingzhou City by water, and the surging light and shadow added another "color" to the black and white ink painting.　

Here, the photographer and the eldest brother soaked in the biting cold water for several hours before completing the drama of diving in the ice cave. The underwater world in the lens is quiet and beautiful, which is fascinating.

How did the amazing underwater shots in the movie, either thrilling or beautiful, work, and how did this special group of underwater photographers, little known to audiences, work?

In this issue of "Behind the Scenes", let’s follow Sun Xun, a well-known domestic underwater photographer who has been in charge of films such as "Shadow", "Kung Fu Yoga" and "Hero of Fire", into the "underwater mystery" behind the lens.

　01. Every shot is a story

After seven years of formal employment, he was responsible for the underwater shooting of countless movies, TV series, documentaries and advertisements. "Heroes of Fire" has always been fresh in Sun Xun’s memory. Since the film is set in the context of an oil pipeline explosion, there must be oil stains, garbage and flames in the seawater. In order to realistically restore the effect of seawater, the art and props team "mixed" pieces of sticky oil stains with starch and paint, and also put in fresh scallops, oysters and other kinds of seafood. The flames are also real burning, which also poses a big challenge to the underwater photography team.

"The camera, the diving equipment, and the face are all covered in a layer of black oil, just like a miner. After shooting for two days, the seafood was soaked for two days, just like a pot of seafood soup, and finally the whole equipment had to be cleaned. But the props team really bothered to have the final real effect." Sun Xun said. At the "Fire Hero" press conference, recalling the shooting experience, Ou Hao said that he almost drowned and experienced a terrifying moment. In the movie, he was shown with a rope tied around his waist, but in the actual shooting, after going into the water, the person kept floating up, and he could only tie the rope to his feet to let people pull him underwater. In addition, shooting outdoors in winter was very physically exhausted, and he could not advance or retreat for a time. "Even now I think about it, I am still a little afraid."

Sun Xun also praised Ou Hao’s contribution: "The actors are very hard-working, and the director and staff are sparing no effort to recreate the tension at that time… China lacks such a film, and we feel honored to be able to participate in the shooting of such a key scene." If the key word of "Hero of Fire" is "bitter", the largest film that Sun Xun has participated in "water drama" is the crime film "Involved in the Sea of Anger" that will be released in the summer. In order to show the human entanglement in extreme environments, there is a long sea shooting in the film, and even Huang Bo, who has excellent water quality, calls it "the most tiring in history".

Sun Xun also felt the same way, "I first shot in the open sea, the sea was very windy, and I was seasick and vomited, which is also an embarrassing thing for me as an underwater photographer. Then I shot a big play in the water shed. Teacher Huang Bo is famous for his water quality, and the completion is very high. He also cooperates well with Teacher Zhou Xun. In addition, the underwater is a dual-camera shooting, and there is a scene of escape in the car. I am looking forward to the effect of the film." Underwater shooting can be both exciting and beautiful and romantic, and the starring literary film shows this.

"Although the film was not very difficult, the shot was very beautiful. At that time, it was Yu Feihong’s inner scene. The beauty of the underwater shot and the mood of the actors fit perfectly. It had the temperament of an Asian literary film. It was the most satisfactory scene from the creator’s point of view," Sun Xun said.

02. Tired and happy

Sun Xun studied engineering at university, but chose the translation industry for his work. When he worked as a translator for a film crew, he began to get involved in photography because of his interest. It can be said that his career has been challenging himself.

In the process of engaging in film and television photography, Sun Xun found that underwater photography teams in China are very scarce. "The film industry is developing rapidly, and industrialization is becoming more and more complex. At that time, there was a wave of aerial photography, and we thought that we might be able to do it underwater."

In this way, from the "dry duck" who couldn’t even swim at the beginning, to the diving expert who could control the machine in the water and move around, Sun Xun and the team developed a set of underwater photography methodology almost from scratch.

There were many differences between underwater photography and shooting on the ground. In particular, shooting in the field was greatly affected by the weather and water conditions, and it was difficult to communicate underwater and underwater. There were three core members of the team, each performing their own duties, and all of them were indispensable: Sun Xun was responsible for the underwater handheld, composition, and camera movement; the second person was responsible for monitoring the focus on the ground and communicating with the ground photography team; there was another person responsible for equipment, coordinating actors, adjusting underwater props, costumes, etc.

　At the same time, the photographer also has to have multiple roles while holding the camera, not only to control the buoyancy, but also to control the machine, to ensure the focus and composition during the movement, and to always pay attention to the safety of the actors. Many directors are not familiar with underwater shooting, and the pre-designed split shots are difficult to complete in actual shooting. For example, due to the influence of buoyancy, the actors will naturally float up when they fall into the water. In order to achieve the "sinking" effect pursued by the director, the team had to bury the Weiya point underwater, "so that they can pull it in reverse, so that they can control the people to slowly go down."

In addition, the actor’s water and physical fitness will also affect the shooting effect. The photographer needs to make an agreement with the actor in advance for underwater gestures such as "rise, sink, take another shot", and pay close attention to the actor’s state. At the scene, the host Roman also changed into equipment and challenged a "drowning scene" shooting. After just shooting for a while, not only did his nose get into water, but his physical strength was also exhausted, and he experienced the difficulty of shooting underwater.

Sun Xun admits that this kind of "hard work" is the norm in this type of work. Because the crew often focuses on shooting underwater scenes a few days ago or when they are close to finishing, the time is tight and the task is heavy. "Generally, it takes 14 to 16 hours to shoot every day, and sometimes even 20 hours."

"If you really come to the scene to watch our filming, you will definitely feel very bitter, but as people who love this profession, we are very excited to shoot, we don’t feel hard, and we don’t feel cold. My favorite is coming out of the water. The director said: Great, this is what I want, I feel very fulfilled!"

In the process of learning, Sun Xun often revisits the classic Hollywood films. As early as the 1954 film "Black Lake Demon Pond", the pioneers began to experiment with underwater photography, and he was deeply admired for his spirit of exploration.

In contrast, Sun Xun said bluntly that the domestic team has a lot of room for improvement in both technology and equipment, but he firmly believes that with the continuous improvement of the industrialization level of domestic films and the improvement of the process, the trickle will definitely merge into rivers and seas, and the underwater lens will definitely record more exciting Chinese stories.

He is a kung fu superstar, he is the distributor of Chinese movies, and everyone affectionately calls him "Jackie Chan". Now he has become the first Chinese to win the Oscar Lifetime Achievement Award. Standing on the stage, he lamented that he has been waiting for this golden statuette for 56 years. 17:34 on February 12 CCTV6 will take you back to Jackie Chan’s Oscar glory moment and watch his 56-year silver screen Phantom with you.

The Oscar Honorable Mention Award, commonly known as the Academy Award for Lifetime Achievement, is awarded to those who have made lifelong contributions to the film industry in recognition of their achievements. Not long ago, Jackie Chan became the first Chinese actor in history to receive this honor, and the fourth Asian actor to win the award. On the podium, Jackie Chan lamented that winning the golden statuette was his dream all along. After 56 years, he finally realized his dream. And in the 56 years of his film career, the audience also watched him create one surprise after another.

Every time we see Jackie Chan, he is always very busy. In addition to filming, he is also busy promoting Chinese movies more often. Wherever he goes, he loves to wear traditional Chinese costumes and perform Chinese songs for the world audience. For the world audience, his status may have long been not just a filmmaker, but an indelible element of Chinese movies. In our exclusive interview with him, he often talked about the many twists and turns and luck in his 56 years of filmmaking, from martial arts to the present.

Over the past 56 years, Jackie Chan has received awards from people from all walks of life, from children’s goodwill ambassadors awarded by the United Nations, global anti-smoking ambassadors, to human humanitarian awards from non-governmental organizations Silver Star Award, honorary police, honorary citizen. From the French Order of Arts and Letters, to the International Lifetime Achievement Award from the International Youth Leadership Foundation, the International Top 10 Outstanding Youth. This time, the Academy Award for Lifetime Achievement is another honor among his many awards. This time, the award may not only affect Jackie Chan himself, but it is also a great testament to the growing popularity of Chinese-style films with Western audiences. Jackie Chan’s 56-year film life legend is an inspiration for young Chinese filmmakers, inspiring them to work harder to make good Chinese films and win more attention and applause for Chinese films "going global".

　　Recently, Zhao Youting became the annual spokesperson of a brand’s men’s series with the image of "Extremely Clean New Men". Although the advertisement of playing basketball in the sun showed a confident side, he actually suffered from a serious "fear of winning awards". When he learned that he had squeezed out Zaizai and was shortlisted for the "Magnolia Award" for the Shanghai TV Festival with "Ruffian Hero", his first thought was: "What should I do?"　

　　Zhao Youting and his rumored girlfriend Zhang Junjun have respectively become the spokesmen for a certain brand’s men’s and women’s series. He attended a press conference a few days ago, and he could guess what the reporters would ask in advance. Like Ruan Jingtian, who has been in turmoil recently, Zhao Youting said that when he was criticized after winning the Golden Bell Best Actor, Xiao Tian comforted him that "he can get by, and everything will pass". Now he believes that Xiaotian will get by too.　

　　However, "Mengka" will face a possible competition for the best actor this year. Zhao Youting said that although he hopes his acting skills can be recognized, he does not like to compete with others: "I don’t want to win the award now, and I will win it after 30 years old." He admitted that he was extremely surprised to know that he was the only Taiwanese actor shortlisted for the "Magnolia Award" because the mainland did not broadcast "Ruffian Hero" at all, and he was afraid of winning the award again. "I used to be happy, but now I only worry."　

　　Leaving aside the landmine of winning the award, Zhao Youting has become more and more able to withstand jokes. Although he shoots Neutrogena advertisements with dew points, he clenches his arms and tries not to let his armpits float out. He laughs and says that because Xiaotian’s armpits are more "beautiful", they are not too sparse or a big tuft, but they are soft and smooth, which makes the audience laugh. If it were Zhao Youting in the past, he might have frowned and frowned: "Why don’t you talk about acting, but you should care about my armpits?" But after a year of baptism, he has been able to do it with ease. He does look like a "white beheaded chicken" in the photo of the advertisement, and his face is swollen like he has been punched.
　

Yang Mi was suppressed for a long time, and it was delayed until now that the "new drama" "Storm Eye" was officially broadcast on Star Oriental Satellite TV and Zhejiang Satellite TV. However, after successfully landing on the TV station to broadcast this year, no one cared. After more than a dozen episodes were broadcast, there was not even a single hot search.

Combining the recent state of Yang Mi himself, two days ago, attending the Weibo night event, a dress and the host collided colors, and another dress was picked out by netizens as a haute couture. At the event site, and because of the organizers’ fan operation, they forced the female stars to learn to take pictures of auntie silk scarves. Yang Mi couldn’t play with the silk scarves, hung his hair, and was complained by netizens. During the Chinese New Year, Yang Mi pressed Dabao and spared no effort to publicize it. The "Assassination of the Novelist", which was carefully shot, has only passed 900 million at the box office. It is far from enough to recover the cost of 11-1.20 billion yuan. The loss is a matter of DingTalk on the board.

At this time, the new TV series was broadcast, and Yang Mi had no enthusiasm to promote it at all. The netizens were saying, could it be that this is the rhythm of breaking the can?

The reason why the new drama "Eye of the Storm" has not moved is that the theme of the TV series is somewhat positive, neither dog blood nor idols. Nowadays, there are not many viewers who are willing to watch TV in front of the TV. Those who sit in front of the TV and watch TV series regularly are the small group of viewers who are keen on dog blood and horses, and it is best to involve two generations of entanglements. In their eyes, the national security police, no matter how exciting the modern espionage is, are not as good as the family.

At the same time, in the recent period, "Storm Eye" has been facing a powerful opponent’s attack. Audiences who like to follow dramas are either watching "Mountain and River Order" or "Fatty Son-in-law". "Fatty Son-in-law" is the base of the explosive drama team, and "Mountain and River Order" is a change of fate against the sky. Which one is more gimmicky than "Storm Eye".

It is also worth noting that the actors of this drama, the audience who are familiar with chasing dramas, saw that it was the actor under Yang Mi Company, commonly known as "Jiaxing Gift Bag". One by one, they had to act without acting skills, and they had to work without works, plus the director and screenwriter were also disconnected. The first impression of netizens was that they were cowardly, so they didn’t want to mention what happened later.

However, in reality, this drama still had many advantages. First of all, from the most obvious data quantification performance, everyone can clearly see that "Storm Eye" got a score of 6.5 on Douban. Although this can’t be considered a high score, but looking at the protagonist Yang Mi, her work has a poor reputation on the whole network, and no one dares to compliment it. This has led to many people automatically deducting points when they see Yang Mi when they score, so this score that has just passed in Douban should probably be mentioned online without Yang Mi’s prejudice.

Moreover, unlike the previous dramas that sail under false colors, which cover a variety of professional themes, the male and female protagonists fall in love. In this drama, the male and female protagonists do have emotional lines, but the focus is not on falling in love, and the two people are never vague when they should work.

The heroine Quiet is not an extraordinary character with an extraordinary IQ in American dramas, but an ordinary person who graduated from college, one step at a time. When she became the section chief, her mother dropped it on the table and quickly picked it up and put it back in the bowl. She is called "Sister Jing" by her new colleagues. She will receive surprise wishes on her birthday and work overtime for supper at night. This drama is really vivid as if this workplace is the status quo of the people around us.

Looking at the main storyline, of course, it’s about catching the bad guys. Many of the audience who were watching were saying that they felt that their brains were not enough, and except for the male and female protagonists, the others were all bad guys. In addition, this drama directly upgraded the spy war drama into a science fiction drama, presenting everyone with a big show of disguise. With such a plot and a reliable prop group, it seemed that they were not watching domestic dramas, and they sincerely wanted to praise: domestic dramas, you have made a fortune.

What’s more rare is that Yang Mi gave up dubbing in the drama and used her original sound lines. Her voice has been criticized. For this drama, it seems that she deliberately pressed her voice to speak, and there is indeed some progress.

The audience rating of "Eye of the Storm" on the two channels of Oriental Satellite TV and Zhejiang Satellite TV has been hovering around 0.6 and 0.5. Such results are not considered to be on the street, but there is no discussion on the Internet. Yang Mi himself does not promote it vigorously, so the reputation of this drama is only fermented in a small area. However, this is also uncertain. What if this drama can open low and go high and successfully counterattack?

Bai Baihe, Xu Jinglei

Directed by Xu Jinglei, the action police and bandit film starring Bai Baihe, Huang Lixing and Ming Dao released a set of "multiple interpretations of love" pictures on Valentine’s Day, which made people imagine the emotional ripples and cooperation opportunities of the four creators inside and outside the play. Several creators also revealed many on-set stories during the filming process, and released some of the plot characters in the film in advance. It is reported that the movie "The Kidnapper" will be officially released on April 1.

Love is a long-term love, Xu Jinglei Bai Baihe met for the first time in ten years

A police mother who lost her daughter, director Xu Jinglei felt that Bai Baihe was the best candidate for the role. In order to show the best character state, the crew hired a professional action directing team to conduct a brutal two-month special training for the actors before filming. During the training, Bai Baihe, as the heroine, has been training with illness. "Bai Baihe is very hard-working, and his body has long been blue and purple, and he is not squeamish at all." Such a serious attitude was certified by the director.

During the filming of this film, seeing the director deal with many affairs decisively on the scene every day also made Bai Baihe feel "very safe." When he saw Old Xu in private, he had another face, "Every time I see her, she is very happy." The two have been together for more than ten years, and the cooperation of "The Kidnapper" also generates mutual joy.

Ming Dao, Huang Lixing

Love is an argument, Xu Jinglei and Huang Lixing’s studio face off fiercely

Huang Lixing has co-starred with Xu Jinglei in the workplace romance film twice, and also participated in the cameo two years ago. The two who have cooperated many times are not so "polite" in their working state. This time, director Xu Jinglei challenged the action police film "The Kidnapper" for the first time, and Huang Lixing also upgraded to a tough guy look.

The Virgo Huang Lixing is a real "logic control". He plays a wanted man with amnesia in the film, and he often argues with the director on the set over the logic of the film. "Ask me a lot, I’m going crazy." Xu Jinglei complained bitterly. But such discussions provide more new ideas and perspectives for the film, prompting the director to think about these issues repeatedly and actively seek solutions with the team.

Ming Dao, Xu Jinglei

Love is a reunion, Xu Jinglei will meet again after many years

By chance, Xu Jinglei met him in Mingdao’s studio many years later.

In everyone’s impression, it was still Mingdao who looked like an idol drama star. The image when they met this time also made Xu Jinglei completely unexpected: "Tanned, tall and strong, very man, not very trimmed." It was exactly the same as Lu Ran in her mind.

It was also this re-acquaintance that made Xu Jinglei invite Ming Dao to join "The Kidnapper" and play the role of the Serious Crime Squad Sheriff. During the filming of the movie, Ming Dao, who had rarely shot action scenes before, worked hard to participate in training for the role. Ming Dao’s serious and hard-working attitude once again surprised the director and partners.

Huang Lixing, Bai Baihe

Love is tacit understanding, Bai Baihe Huang Lixing’s studio plays the code

The characters of Bai Baihe and Huang Lixing have a little emotional connection, "a fleeting ambiguity". However, due to the overall rhythm and logic of the action film, this emotional content was weakened in the film.

But this "emotion" has established a considerable sense of tacit understanding between the two. Because there are many fighting scenes in the film, Bai Baihe and Huang Lixing also set a password for an action rhythm to be consistent, and an action is deliberately repeated more than a dozen times in front of the camera, like a child who loves to play.

Love is to cherish each other, Huang Lixing, Mingdao, cooperation and mutual respect

From the hip-hop singer on stage who is full of energy, to the actor Yang Nian, who handles his characters with meticulous ease on the set of an action movie, Ming Dao can’t connect the person in front of him with the "Huang Lixing" in his mind, even when he is playing opposite scenes. Huang Lixing also expressed his great love for working with Ming Dao. "His charm is because of his hard work," and he was amazed by Ming Dao in the interview.

As the two main male actors in the film, Huang Lixing and Ming Dao went from being unfamiliar with each other to respecting each other and becoming good friends in private. Although the two are facing off against the police in the film, they cherish each other outside the film.

The film "The Kidnapper" is produced by Beijing Flower Blossom Film Company and will be released nationwide on April 1.

1905 movie network news　After the film, which was produced by the producer, directed, led by, starred in, starred in, starred in, starred in, starred in,, starred in, and starred in, from the official announcement to the national release on June 12, 2021, the topic trendiness ranked first in the entertainment hot search list, which shows the audience’s expectations for the film. With the heavy official announcement, "Tropical Past" released a special "Versailles" lineup. Peng Yuyan, Zhang Aijia, Wang Yanhui and many other powerful actors faced the camera and analyzed for the first time why the high-end cast "came". The film director Wen Shipei also sighed: "It’s really dreamy to have such a lineup."

Peng Yuyan praised the script "powerful" Zhang Aijia shouted "interesting"　　

Producer Ning Hao called "Once Upon a Time in the Tropics" enjoyable and temperamental

The movie "Once Upon a Time in the Tropics" has been fully upgraded and will be released nationwide on June 12, 2021. Not only has it officially entered the Dragon Boat Festival, but also the heat of the summer season has been detonated a week earlier. After the film’s upgrade information was announced, some viewers said: "Wait for the Dragon Boat Festival"; "This summer is dry". As early as the film announced the cast, many audiences were curious: what is the charm of such a big-name heavyweight lineup that gathered in "Once Upon a Time in the Tropics"? Recently, the film released a special "Versailles" lineup. Peng Yuyan, Zhang Aijia, Wang Yanhui and other powerful actors explained the reasons for joining the camera for the first time. Peng Yuyan said bluntly: "It is very different from the scripts I have read in the past, and the most intuitive feeling is that it is very powerful." Zhang Aijia sold it off: "The script is a little ambiguous, a little strange, a little curious, I think it is very interesting." Wang Yanhui, who has extensive acting experience, said frankly: "It is one of the more difficult things for me to create over the years."

In addition to the attractive script, Ning Hao, the executive producer of "Once Upon a Time in the Tropics", also attributed the film’s unique temperament to attracting a lot of big names. "Director Wen Shipei is a director with aesthetic characteristics," he said. "He can put together good actors and exert a very special temperament." The second half of the special is closely combined with the atmosphere interpreted by the film. The background music is beautiful, allowing the film to be extended beyond the plot.

"Once Upon a Time in the Tropics" is more than just a crime genre　

Peng Yuyan explains the issue of character growth

When it comes to newcomer director Wen Shipei, several leading actors invariably mention keywords such as "special" and "detail" in the interview. The special feature of "Versailles" in "Tropical Past" involves director Wen Shipei’s use and discussion of details on the set. One is that he uses Blackfish as a metaphor for Peng Yuyan’s role as Wang Xueming, and the other is that he and Peng Yuyan discuss the relationship between Shadow Killer and Zhang Yu. Although it is like peeking into the leopard, it can make people feel the different temperament and unique aesthetic pursued by the film. Zhang Aijia said: "Director Wen Shipei is a very philosophical child, he cares about some small details, which is what we like about him very much." Mr. Wang, for his part, said the film was not about reality: "There is a fruity aroma in red wine, or maybe it is mixed with rocks."

In addition to the details, the special also vaguely reveals the close connection between several characters. Peng Yuyan also expressed from the side one of the topics covered by the film "Tropical Past": how people should face up to their own past and how to grow up. This is undoubtedly the human echo that the film pursues outside the crime suspense genre. Speaking of working with such a heavyweight cast, director Wen Shipei is also very emotional: "For any new director, it is dreamy and lucky to meet such a few actors in his debut film."
