Li Rui talks about the starting point of the crime at the premiere of "Angry Tiger"

  Magical realism crime movie - Angry Tiger - will be released nationwide on October 23.The day before, director Li Rui, Zhu Zhengting, Jiang Mengjie, Fan Meng, Wang Xuedong and other main creators attended the premiere of "The Heart of the Tiger" in Beijing and watched the film and communicated with the media, audiences and industry guests.

From producer to director, Li Rui chose to tell the story of a writer with magical realism.He said after the screening that he did not want to write the villain as a facial expression, but wanted to trace the starting point of a crime.Were those evils carefully planned, or did people lose control at a certain moment?He hopes the film raises the question and leaves the discussion up to the audience, rather than jumping to conclusions for everyone.

Lin Yihu, played by Zhu Zhengting, has different states before and after returning home.Zhu Zhengting said that the characters' experiences in Shanghai were close to real life, allowing him to understand their situation; after returning to his hometown, Lin Yihu seemed fragile and struggling, which made him feel distressed.In order to clarify these changes, he communicated with the director every day before starting the filming, working on the scenes step by step, and repeatedly auditioning to confirm how the details and emotions connected.

Jiang Mengjie emphasized that Zhang Jiaying took the initiative to tell the truth in her relationship with Lin Yihu and took the lead in career, life and emotions.She was gentle and peaceful at first, then fell into panic, fear and uneasiness after encountering the accident. After accepting the reality, she began to resist bravely.Jiang Mengjie regards this change as a process of character growth and a reflection of the emotional bond between the two.

Fan Meng, Wang Xuedong, Wang Hailin, Qin Yiming, Zhang Qianru, as well as guests Li Xingwen, Tan Fei, and Xu Yixin also exchanged their respective creative and movie-watching experiences from the perspectives of the pull between love and reality, the psychology of groups committing evil, and the literary sense of blank narrative.

In the discussion after the premiere, attention was paid to the film's depiction of unsettling factors in daily life.The horror is not mainly given to bloody scenes, but appears in the human kidnapping of acquaintance relationships, the safety hazards of living alone and at home, and the swings under the pressure of survival.In the film, some people are in conflict between fame and fortune and their creative ideals, some are trapped by betrothal gifts and reality, and some are gradually losing their conscience while ganging up to commit evil.Seemingly ordinary people may cross the line in the face of greed and calculation; these different situations are placed around the same crime, bringing out discussions on the boundaries of desire, conformity, silence and personal choice.

The blank space at the end of the film allows the premiere discussion to extend to the bottom line in the face of temptation, and whether silence will become an accomplice in the face of minor malice.The tranquility in the film is suddenly broken, reminding people to stay alert to the risks in daily life and to cherish the stability in front of them.

《Angry Tiger》 is written and directed by Li Rui, starring Zhu Zhengting and Jiang Mengjie, Huang Lu, Hu Baosen, Fan Meng, and co-starring Xue Yuanqing, Wang Xuedong, Zu Feng, Shi Yueling and others.
