1905 Movie Network News Crime suspense movie "Where Are You" held an observation seminar in Beijing on September 26. Producer Yan Kang, director Fan Haolun and starring Jing Ke came to the scene and gathered with experts and scholars such as Han Zhijun, Dou Chunqi, Gao Erchun, Zhao Weifang, Huangfu Yichuan, Wang Haizhou, Chen Baoguang , Weng Yanran, Xu Bolin, Lan Lixin and other experts and scholars to conduct in-depth discussions and research on the shooting techniques and practical significance of the film.
movie "Where Are You" is Fan Haolun's first directorial work. The film premiered not long ago at the 73rd Venice International Film Festival. It also won the Best Film Award, Best Actress Award, Best Director Award, and Best Photography Award at the 4th Vancouver Chinese Film Festival, and received a lot of praise. The film focuses on several serious cases of child trafficking in an ordinary small town. Wang Nan, a young mother who lost her child, went deep into the human trafficker organization to find her daughter Xiaoyu. At the same time, local policeman Huo Yan also obtained criminal clues in many trafficking cases, and the story of finding a son to pursue the murderer unfolds.
director Fan Haolun said that the original intention of creating the film originated from the child trafficking incident in the temple fair in his hometown. During the script, he read a lot of information about trafficking and domestic violence, trying to restore the most real and cruel situation of children's trafficking in the film, and hoped that the film could serve as a warning. In addition to being a director, Fan Haolun also played the role of policeman Huo Yan in the film. He revealed that he had gained 20 kilograms of weight for the character, so he was exhausted and sent to the hospital while shooting a long-shot fight scene.
After watching the video, many industry experts affirmed the practical significance of the video. Han Zhijun said, "Current trafficking has become a social nuisance in China. Such things may cause inner trauma in a family for generations. I think the film can definitely resonate with the audience." Weng Yanran commented that the film reflects sharp social problems. Compared with "Lost orphan" and "Dear", it pays more attention to the criminal process of trafficking in children rather than how to find them. Lan Lixin also believes that "the film has a clear theme, highlighting the main line of social hotspots, and has strong social significance." When talking about the style and shooting techniques of the film, Dou Chunqi said that the film has a very good grasp of the image, and even has the feeling of film shooting. The tortuous and mutated drama conflict makes the whole film full of suspense. He also praised the film "not like the director's debut work at all." Zhao Weifang said that the narrative handling of "Where Are You" is very distinctive, and it disrupts the plot and reorganizes it, which is similar to the popular Spanish suspense film "Invisible Guest". Chen Baoguang commented, "The atmosphere of the film is created very well, and it is a film that meets international standards."
It is reported that the movie "Where Are You" will be available in mainland theaters on October 27.
