"Car shock" is a fashion culture. JASON ZHANG explodes and Li Xiaoran is very strong.
Movie network news (Photo/Shanghai Film Festival Reporting Group) From the beginning, most of JASON ZHANG’s films chose the theme of urban love. In an exclusive interview with [Movie Network], he admitted that he really prefers to tell stories from the emotional point of view. The film "Driverless" involves many sensitive issues such as "car shock", one-night stand, love triangle and so on. "‘ Che Zhen ’ It is everywhere in life, and I think it is already part of the car culture. " As a director, JASON ZHANG is very satisfied with the performances of the leading actors in the film, especially Li Xiaoran, who has successfully created a role that seems to be a good wife and a good mother but has an unspeakable past. Recently, Li Xiaoran’s boyfriend Yan Po was chopped by the black forces. According to JASON ZHANG, Li Xiaoran, who has a strong personality, is optimistic and calm in the face of all this.
Talking about the film: "Car shock" is an extramarital affair in automobile culture, which is very common.
Many plots in JASON ZHANG’s films are based on real events in life, and emotional themes such as marriage are the best entry point for him to reflect real life. "The theme that reflects trivial things in life is not attractive to me. I prefer to go deep into people’s emotions or human nature." In "Unmanned Driving", JASON ZHANG used a variety of phenomena to express people’s emotional state in reality, such as "car shock", one-night stand, multi-angle love and so on. Although these contents are still abnormal in some people’s eyes, JASON ZHANG’s view is quite different.
"In the past, I may think that love triangle and extramarital affairs are very important things, but now I think these are very common things, even five-corner love, and many people’s emotions are intertwined." JASON ZHANG also admitted that great changes have taken place in today’s concept of love and morality, but people are still pursuing pure love in their bones, just like Huang Xuan and Wang Luodan in the play, one represents a young man who is constantly pursuing material things, and the other is a simple Sargam. In order to better show the theme, JASON ZHANG specially set up a scene of "car shock" for them. "In fact, this thing is everywhere in life, and I think it is already a car culture. JASON ZHANG also revealed that a scene in which two people "play car shock" in a funny way while watching a movie at the drive-in cinema has been deleted because of the length of the film.
Comment on Actor: Wang Luodan is very simple. Li Xiaoran faces everything with a smile.
In Driverless, Gao Yuanyuan and Liu Ye staged a "one-night stand", Wang Luodan abandoned his "chatty" image and played Sargam. Li Xiaoran’s role seems to be a good wife and mother but has an unspeakable past, and every actor has a great change. "Wang Luodan still represents a very simple person, and those pure things in her are quite attractive to me. In fact, every actor in the film is different from the past.
JASON ZHANG was full of praise for Li Xiaoran’s performance in the film, saying that his performance was the most successful. Recently, her boyfriend Yan Po was chopped by the black forces. JASON ZHANG revealed that Li Xiaoran was very rational in the face of the accident. "She is a very strong person. When we sat together and chatted, she told me the situation calmly, including some details. I think these are related to her strong personality. She is still optimistic and can face it with a smile."

On genre: there is no living space for literary films, and many films are not suitable for 3D technology.
The topic of "Car Shock" was first chosen in the promotion of "Unmanned Driving", and then the "bed photos" of Liu Ye and Gao Yuanyuan were exposed. Sensitive topics such as one-night stand often appeared in the promotion of the film. JASON ZHANG, who used to shoot literary films, admitted that he did not reject the commercial operation. "In fact, it was a helpless move. Many literary films had no room for survival in the China film market, even those small films that did not intend to win much.
In addition to imitating the blockbuster mode regardless of the size of the film, the use of a large number of 3D technologies has become a trend. However, JASON ZHANG bluntly said that many films are not suitable for co-production into 3D versions. "3D is only a technical means. Whether the film is adopted or not depends on the type. It is more appropriate for action movies or cartoons to pursue visual effects, but it is completely unnecessary for movies with realistic themes." This type of film is what Zhang Yang is good at. He revealed that his next film is already in the process of planning, and it is still an urban theme.
