Dialogue Zhou Nan

[1] From love to a person to love a city

Jiupai News: When did you receive an invitation to shoot "You Are My Spring"?

Zhou Nan: I should have received the invitation of these directors at the latest. I remember very clearly that it was January 16, 2021. They said that there was a video related to epidemic situation to shoot. Do you want to shoot?

I was tangled at that time, because my previous movie box office was not ideal, and my child had just been born for more than ten days. But I still want to shoot in my heart, because when the epidemic occurred in 2020, I made a movie abroad. I think I seem to miss something, so I really want to understand this time.

I asked my wife, she supported me, so when the child was not full of the moon, I came to Wuhan to collect the style.

Jiupai News: Your main line in this film is love. Why do you want to tell a love story?

Zhou Nan: The story of love is actually a breakthrough in the entire film. This film starts with love story. But the story should start with the easiest perspective of a mainstream audience. It is actually very difficult for me, because in the environment of the epidemic, it looks very speculative, and some people feel that we are consumer epidemic.

In the process of creation, the script has also changed many versions, but with continuous creation and continuous modification, I finally understand what I want to say.

Jiupai News: What kind of opportunity is it?

Zhou Nan: The night before the boot, that is, the Lantern Festival, we went to Wuhan Railway Station to find the last scene. The actor came to Wuhan. He saw everyone away, but he came. That day we stood at the entrance channel of Wuhan Station. The channel was empty. I also joked with the producer and said that our budget was not enough. How many people had to be filled here.

Just as we were about to leave, I suddenly heard the sound of the train entering the station. The broadcast said that the trains had entered the station, and suddenly the station was filled with people. There are many young college students and workers.

There is a temperature measuring instrument at the outlet. He will frame the face, and then write a temperature on it, 36.4 degrees, 36.1 degrees, 36.5 degrees. Although he wears a mask, everyone's face has a temperature. Although this is a year after the epidemic, I am shocked in that scene.

After I went back, I changed the plot and left the male lead. Because of the love of a man, he must not be selfish and niche. He loves this girl, her family, loves her city, and loves people to mature, and even becomes great. This is the growth of a man. In this process, the film has also excessive and greater and wider love from love movies.

Jiupai News: How did you determine the two actors of Zhou Dongyu and Yin Yan?

Zhou Nan: I also tried a lot of different versions when I wrote the script. I thought about how to be more real and moved. Zhou Dongyu and the role in this story are very fit.

In the words of Yin Yan, I always want to find a boy. He has the exquisite and future feeling in Shanghai, and he needs his sincerity and sincerity. He has a firm sense of never giving up. I searched a lot of actors. The first one to jump out was Yin Yan, and I also thanked them for investing in this role.

Jiupai News: Why is there a couple of love couples in Shanghai and Wuhan?

Zhou Nan: Li Zhiyi has a poem, "I live in the head of the Yangtze River, and I live in the Yangtze River. I do n’t see the monarch every day, and I drink the Yangtze River water together." In China, there is such a binary theory in the choice of young people.

As far as this story is concerned, Wuhan is the origin and the hometown. In the distance I want to write a city next to the sea, a place that represents many young people, so I chose Shanghai. Geographically, Shanghai came to Wuhan and went up against the current. You will feel that at this difficult time, someone will leave, but someone will go up against the current.

[2] Keep the calmness and positiveness of Wuhan people

Jiupai News: Compared with previous films, where do you feel challenging?

Zhou Nan: In addition to talking about the children's affection at this difficult time, there is also a setting in setting, and the male and female owners have almost no frame. How do you interact without the same frame? How do they love each other? But with our understanding of Wuhan's time, we are more and more respectful to the city. In the end, I chose a very restrained and particular way to shoot, and we turned all the obstacles into experience. When an actor expresses his emotions, he must be conveyed through a layer of goggles, a layer of mask, a layer of screen, and through three layers of things. He can only pass through his eyes and lines. We don't want the audience to feel how actors can perform, but to convey the ordinary and true public state at that time.

Jiupai News: How did you understand the status quo during that time when you pick the wind?

Zhou Nan: I have a deep impression. When I first came, I used all the time to communicate with people. The people I met on the road, the driver, and the hotel lobby manager I met. Understand as much as possible.

Once I talked to the driver. To be honest, I didn't have attentive at that time. I asked, are you scared at the beginning of the epidemic? He said it was not scared, and then he stopped for a long time, saying it was fear, and he said that some people died at that time at that time. He said lightly, but as if a fist hit me, I suddenly realized that death was so close to me? Is the suffering so close to me? So I made up for my heart.

I remember once, it rained, I passed a small flower market, and went in to see. I took the camera there and took a picture. During this period, a mother took a wreath with a little girl. The mother asked me what you took to take pictures. I said I want to make a movie about the epidemic and record it. Then the mother told me optimisticly, then you must make Wuhan beautiful. The little girl also said, thank you Uncle.

At that moment, I felt that this was Wuhan. They experienced the cold winter. After crossing the cold winter, they did not complain to vent, but hope that others will see their best side. Maybe some people think that my story is not so real, but I want to say that I want to retain the calmness and positiveness of Wuhan people. I want to be worthy of the mother and daughter.

Jiupai News: What do you think of the "Spring" in the name "You Are My Spring"?

Zhou Nan: It's summer, and this title feels a bit uncomfortable. But I think the word "spring" is particularly good. We all know that "the plan of the year lies in spring". I think spring is the beginning of everything. I especially hope that we will shoot the epidemic and give the audience a prompt. From today, it is the first day of our spring. Start and plan our future.

Another is about the temperature. I was actually very cold when I was filming in Wuhan, and it rained every day. The previous year, the people of Wuhan also experienced a difficult moment in the cold winter. We often said that when the weather is hot, the epidemic may end. Everyone was looking forward to warmth.

Finally, you will find that this warmth does not come from the sun, but from everyone who supports and cares about Wuhan. The epidemic is really afraid of temperature, but it is not the temperature caused by the earth's revolution, but the temperature of the heating of the nation.

Jiupai News: Is the shooting in Wuhan smooth?

Zhou Nan: It is smooth, and the people of Wuhan are very enthusiastic. I remember there was a drama on the bridge. The crowds of the crowd cooperated very much, and asked us if we needed to help. The feeling of being spoiled was too happy.

[3] A "fierce" and romantic city

Jiupai News: Have you been to Wuhan before? What is the impression of Wuhan?

Zhou Nan: When I first came to Wuhan, I was 13 years old. At that time, my understanding of Wuhan was Huanghelou, a poet Li Bai. It was a summer vacation at the time. It was particularly hot. I wanted to buy the ticket for the next day. At that time, I felt a bit fierce and a little scary.

The second time is around 2016. I want to take a romantic love story in Wuhan. Because there are many bridges, many water in Wuhan, this romantic atmosphere. This is my second impression.

After the filming of "You Are My Spring", I think Wuhan is a fierce and romantic city, a combination of the previous two impressions. Wuhan people are very stubborn, and they will not speak softly, but he will take care of you in action, a bit angry. After the filming, I came to Wuhan several times. Every time I came, I felt that I was a guest who was waiting for, and I felt that I was my own.

Jiupai News: What do you think is the significance of shooting an epidemic -related movie at this time?

Zhou Nan: I think the most important significance is that in the past two years, we always complain about why the epidemic has not passed, but if you look back at that time, you will find that the years are actually very hopeful. We are looking forward to the outbreak, we are looking forward to going to dinner, travel, and re -production.

It is true that the suffering is really existed, and it is impossible to disappear. We need a courage to look back and know that the current happiness is not easy to cherish the current life.

Jiupai News: Want everyone to remember that period of time, and to continue to go forward?

Zhou Nan: Yes, I don't expect everyone to discuss the box office of this movie, and I don't want everyone to keep staring at the past. The film is not used to complain. This film is used to commemorate. In Wuhan in 2020, there are a group of people who use more courage to live, fight, fight, and fight for fighting.

Even this film becomes a talkative after meals, which is enough for me.At the end of the street, after tea, everyone talked about the years, and said you can go and see. There is a film recorded at that time, and I think this is enough.
