In the early 1990s, it was an industrial city in Northeast China. Former steel mill worker Chen Guilin （ Wang Qianyuan Decoration) After being laid off, in order to make a living, they set up a wedding and funeral band, and spent all day in the business of weddings, funerals, and stores. At the same time, his wife, Xiao Ju （ Zhang Shenying Decoration) However, he could not bear the heavy burden of life, and moved on to a rich businessman. After that, Xiaoju came back and asked for divorce from her husband Chen Guilin, and asked for the custody of her only daughter Chen Xiaoyuan. Who can give his daughter a piano has become the key to the struggle for custody. Chen Guilin hopes to train his daughter to be an excellent pianist. In order to get custody of his daughter, he endured all kinds of pressure and raised money to buy piano for his daughter. When he was frustrated everywhere, he decided to take the risk with his girlfriend Shuxian （ Qin Hailu Decoration) As well as the good friend of the steel factory who stole the piano from the school at night, but was found and caught again.

When all the methods failed, Guilin accidentally turned to a Russian literature about piano, and asked the partners to start the journey of making piano by hand in the dilapidated factory. Finally, with the help of retired thieves, full-time gangsters, Jianghu brothers, and pork princes, they created a "steel" piano, and a group of men fought for dignity. Love, friendship and passion, humor burn absurdly in the impossible task^[1] 。

Behind the scenes production

edit

Angle selection

Wang Qianyuan grew up in a performing family. His parents were actors of Liaoning People's Art Theater. He grew up in the backstage of the theater when he was young, which caused Wang Qianyuan to feel relaxed in front of the camera, and he has made some achievements in the field of television drama. But he is a new person for the screen, which is also a difficulty for investment. But Zhang Meng, the director, could be said to have pushed aside the public opinion and insisted that Wang Qianyuan should play the leading role Chen Guilin 。^[8]

Production history

During the nearly three-month shooting of "The Steel Qin", the film encountered difficulties such as bad weather and scene change. However, the most important problem encountered during this period is the shortage of funds. For this reason, director Zhang Meng mortgages his personal real estate to finance the film; During post production, the capital chain was broken, and the heroine Qin Hailu joined the film investment, becoming the first "produced" producer; The leading actor Wang Qianyuan did not receive film remuneration, and the production team of the TV series "Steel Piano" was invited to South Korean directors for the purpose of participating in the shooting of "Steel Piano" Guo Zairong The supervised production will be made after 28 days.^[8]

Movie stills (40 sheets)

Laid off workers played by Wang Qianyuan Chen Guilin The story of casting a "steel piano" full of father's love for her daughter from abandoned steel in the factory, with a unique perspective and humorous humanistic care for reality. Wang Qianyuan's modeling close to the 1990s and his unmarked performance style in the play completely and completely created a real and special father image. His performance with unconventional black humor gives the whole film a warm texture. Although the time environment of the story telling is difficult and the material is scarce, Chen Guilin, played by Wang Qianyuan in the film, creates a band to play and sing for weddings and funerals after being laid off. He is full of the survival wisdom and open-minded and optimistic attitude of small people to lead an ordinary life full of joy and passion. When we see Chen Guilin casting a piano with his daughter and other workers in the factory, we can see the warmth beyond the hardships of life. At the same time, it is fresh and full of vitality. (Sina Entertainment Review)^[7]

The Steel Piano won the prize (7 sheets)

With the tour of major international film festivals and two small auditions in the mainland, this comedy film has received one-sided praise after its word of mouth. It is rare to see any bad reviews. (Phoenix Online Review)

director John Woo Korean director Guo Zairong , Filmmaker Square And Bao Qijing Couple, Zhang Xiaobei, Cheng Yuhai and host Cui Yongyuan They all spoke highly of them. Zhang Meng's "Steel Qin" is not only a joke and self mockery of helpless life, but also a remembrance and recollection of a lost era and a group of old people. Maybe we can't change anything about the reality, but as long as we work hard, we can't create a scenic line, and we can also leave a proud memory. (Phoenix Online Review)

Screenshot of the movie "Steel Qin" (26 sheets)
