After the movie, the host came on stage and said that it has been 7 years since An Zhe's work came to Shanghai in 2012. His wife came to give the audience a question and answer today, so I took my seat.
Aside from a few spectator's polite rainbow farts, the old lady is well-spoken and worth listening to.
During the viewing process, I felt that the sound of the soundtrack was too loud, especially the main melody. Every time it sounded, it sounded like it was about to be smashed, and it seemed very bloody. The old woman said that this soundtrack was made in a later stage, and that's why it was loud, meaning don't blame my husband. Indeed, this soundtrack goes against the temperament of the movie, and the impact is quite big, but it feels like it's more than eight o'clock. But what I consider is: if there is no soundtrack, at least half of the audience would have to fall asleep, and they don't know where to focus. The soundtrack at least prompts a lot of attention.
Someone asked why there are always repeated lines in the movie. A: Only he himself knows, but although it is the same sentence, it has different meanings in different places. Moreover, our children were still young at that time, and when we were writing the script, we were talking to the children while writing, and the children liked to repeat the words.
Q: Why does the adult society in the movie ignore this pair of siblings? A: Because this state exists in reality, An Yezhe focuses on showing the situation of people in society, but does not want to be pessimistic In fact, he wanted to reflect the two children's grasp of their own destiny, which is a positive feeling. (But I think this tendency is not well grasped, so that the feeling of sadness is much stronger than the feeling of grasping one's own destiny, which makes people ignore the positive side)
No one asked, An Zhe's wife added: An Zhe grew up through a lot of political turmoil, and at that time, who would call the shots in Europe was full of uncertainty, so this experience also affected his films.
Supplement 2: The ending was read to the child during the filming, but the child did not like it, so the ending was changed.
