Lin Zixuan chose to sigh for Zhang Guoli not to save trouble, but to have such a phenomenon in society at present.
The topic of extramarital love is not new, but with the development of society, it has attracted more and more public attention.
Before the 90s, anyone who dared to intervene in a third party would be strongly condemned by public opinion, and for a family, divorce was a major event.
Everyone believes in the traditional concept that family ugliness cannot be publicized, even if the two have conflicts at home, they still have to pretend to be happy and harmonious outside, and make do with it for the sake of face and children.
In the 90s, this concept was quietly changing.
Material life is abundant, but the feelings between people have become fragile, with economic independence, the next is emotional independence, and no one needs to accommodate anyone.
In the 1980 revision of the Marriage Law, a clause on the grounds for divorce was added to the list of "breakdown of feelings".
This greatly relaxes the scale of divorce and has become a common excuse for most divorcees.
Feelings are like soap bubbles, extremely fragile, and if they are broken, they will burst.
In the face of more and more temptations in society, testing everyone's moral bottom line, everyone has a new view of cheating, from strong condemnation to onlookers, and the mentality has changed.
When a certain situation often appears in life, it is also viewed with a normal heart.
There is even a view that only people with the ability will cheat, if you have no money and no rights, who will take a fancy to you, and you can't find a partner if you want to cheat.
While the public condemned the cheater, there was still a trace of envy in their hearts.
This cult of money and power is likewise a product of social development.
In this era, society is transforming, people's concepts are changing, traditional marriage values are being impacted, and everyone's heart is full of confusion and struggle.
A sigh is quite a real reflection of the married life of a middle-aged man, and also reflects the current state of people's lives.
On an artistic level, this film can't be compared to Spring in a Small Town.
The background of the Spring of the Small Town is quite sensitive, at the moment of the alternation of the old and new eras, in addition to telling the delicate emotional entanglements, there is also a faint feeling of family and country.
A sigh is more realistic, telling the embarrassing emotional life of modern people, it can't be said to be literary and artistic, it should be helpless.
For Zhang Guoli, this role is quite challenging.
His roles accepted by the audience are all positive images, and he himself is also suitable for playing positive roles, his face is a standard national character face, and it is too wasteful not to play a positive role with this appearance.
However, this cheating middle-aged man is definitely not positive and belongs to the object of social condemnation.
On the one hand, he wants to keep the family harmonious, and on the other hand, he hooks up with a female assistant and doesn't want to let go.
He hesitated so much and lived in secret, neither daring to divorce nor ending the affair.
This is a true portrayal of those men in reality who are not very bold but want to be wrong, such men can be described as obscene and have nothing to do with positive images.
Using an actor like Zhang Guoli who seems to be loyal and honest to play this role will give the audience a sense of contrast.
At the same time, there is a lot of risk in playing this role, if it is played well, it will resonate with the audience, and if it is not played well, it will make the audience hate.
How to grasp the scale, in addition to having a good script, the performance of the actors is very important.
Zhang Guoli must be able to show the struggle of morality and desire in his heart, so that the audience can see his heart, not the surface, so that the audience can accept this role and gain understanding and recognition.
In a sigh, Zhang Guoli's performance determines the success or failure of this play.
Moreover, this kind of subject matter is not easy to pass the trial, and there will be trouble in the General Administration.
If you want to shoot it, you must vigorously criticize and lash out at the cheater in the film, so that the audience can see the tragic end of the cheater, so as to play a positive role in publicity.
You make the audience sympathize and understand the cheater, which will cause a negative impact, which is the cheater quibble.
Even if the cheater repents and returns to the family in the end, the process in the middle will mislead and lure the audience to imitate and try.
Therefore, you must be cautious when writing this kind of subject, and you must look at the cheater with a critical eye, so that he is tormented and exhausted between his family and his lover.
On the one hand, you have to hide from your family, and on the other hand, you have to deal with your lover, and you have to live in torment all day long.
That's the price of cheating.
After watching it, the audience feels that cheating is too hard, so it is better to go home and live a stable life, so that they can pass the review.
Relatively speaking, the background of Spring in a Small Town is set decades ago, and the emotions between the characters are quite restrained, and there are no too out-of-the-ordinary shots, which are easier to pass the censorship.
However, there is also a problem, that is, after the end of the Anti-Japanese War, the whole country is celebrating the victory and rebuilding the homeland, and you shoot a dead and silent small city and the triangle between men and women, which is not very in tune with the whole era.
To put it simply, the pattern is too small and confined to a corner; To put it deeper, the tone is too pessimistic and not bright enough.
These are all situations that may arise at the time of the review.
In China, when making literary films, especially literary films with sensitive themes, you must make all kinds of preparations when writing scripts.
Before the script of the Spring of a Small Town is handed over to the General Administration for review, it must first pass the Beijing Film Studio.
Good Dream Company cooperates with Beijing Film Studio to use the factory logo of Beijing Film Studio, which is a normal process.

This script has caused a lot of sensation in Beijing Film Studio, everyone is making movies, and you can see the excitement of this book.
"Lao Tian, this script is very similar to your style, you can take a good look at it."
Someone took the script to Tian Zhuang.
Since being banned from working as a film director, Tian has been working as a script planner and film producer at Beijing Film Studio, helping and guiding young directors to make films.
He and Zhang Yimou belong to the fifth generation of directors, born in Beijing, from an acting family, and have a deep family background.
After graduating from the directing department of the Tian Zhuangzhuang Film Academy, he made a number of films with a unique style, and one of the films he made failed the review because the committee members could not understand it when it was examined by the General Bureau.
It can be seen from this that he is a personalized director, not the kind of mainstream director.
Tian Xiangxiang looked at the spring of the small town, and various pictures came to mind.
In his opinion, this story is extraordinarily quiet, without too many ups and downs, it is so eloquent, and it stops at the point, as if it is an elegant poem, or an ink painting with blank spaces everywhere, leaving people with room for imagination.
This script is different from the current movie.
Today's movies are too noisy, and the director always thinks about what to express and stuffs everything into it, but the content is substantial, the artistic conception is gone, and he looks like a fat man who eats and supports.
A truly intentional movie is not what the movie itself says, but the space left for the audience's imagination. t1706231537:
