Today (November 13th), the film released a set of stills with the theme of "National Grandma". In the film, Teacher Zhao Shuzhen plays the role of grandma as the bond of the extended family. She is not only kind, loving life, but also very cute and funny. She is full of pouting and singing games, and the image of a lovely and amiable "National Grandma" is ready to come.

Zhao Shuzhen portrays the classic national grandmother. Audience: "This is my grandmother."

The movie The Farewell tells the story of a Chinese family who rounded up a lie with a wedding banquet in order to accompany her grandmother with cancer. Zhao Shuzhen, who plays grandma in the movie, is not only a grandmother in her life, but also creates many grandma images on the screen, such as Mrs. Wang in Do You Know? The grandmother she created in the film The Farewell is not only kind and kind, but also very cute and funny: whether playing games with her family at the dinner table or acting like a spoiled brat in front of Billie, the image of a lovely and amiable "national grandmother" is coming to the fore.

Many viewers who saw the film at the Shanghai Film Festival said: Grandma not only has the traditional simple and kind side of the old lady China, but also has the lovely and childlike side inadvertently revealed. After watching it, I remembered that my grandmother used to make me laugh when I was a child, and I wanted to say "This is my grandmother" in a trance. I believe that after the film is released, the screen image of this classic "national grandmother" will be more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

The film The Farewell has caused quite a stir among domestic movie fans since it was announced on November 22nd, and many viewers listed it as one of the annual must-see films.

National grandma is hot. European and American directors: authenticity is the source of audience love

The Farewell is the second feature film of Chinese director Wang Ziyi, which makes her one of the most noteworthy directors of Variety magazine in 2019. At the beginning of this year, once the film was unveiled at Sundance Film Festival, it won the "Audience’s Favorite Film" award and was nominated for the Best Drama in Sundance Jury Award, which was known as "2019 North America’s Dark Horse of the Year".

Not long ago, he was nominated for the Gotham Independent Film Award for Best Film, Best Screenplay and Best Actress. In the film, the role of grandma played by teacher Zhao Shuzhen was well received in Europe and America. Many foreign audiences said: This grandma is so cute that I really want to have a grandmother with Billie.

The recognition of the role of grandma by audiences at home and abroad is inseparable from the shaping of the role by actors and the setting of the role by directors. When talking about actor selection and role-building, director Wang Ziyi said: "When I saw Teacher Zhao, I knew at once that she was that person. At the end of the shoot, she was a little reluctant to leave the role.

I think the audience likes this role because she is real. This is the same as my original intention of looking for authenticity. I try to select people who are very relevant to the roles they play. After discovering this, I really don’t need to do a lot of things. Ms Zhao Shuzhen, who plays grandma, is grandma herself. Awkwafina has a grandmother, China, who is really close. So, put them in a scene, and then obviously there will be’ this is my grandmother’ and’ this is my granddaughter’. "

The film The Farewell is directed by Wang Ziyi, starring Awkwafina, Zhao Shuzhen, Mattei and Lin Xiaojie, and will be released nationwide on November 22nd.
