Recently, the launching ceremony of the family inspirational film "Lovely Home", which has attracted much attention in China film industry, was successfully held in Xinchang, Zhejiang. This film is the second film written, directed and performed by director Chen Tianyi. Caifei He, winner of the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress, Zhang Chenguang, a famous actress from Taiwan Province, Tian Niu, a Hong Kong actress, and Wang Wei, a young actress, joined in.
Coincidentally, Chen Tianyi, Caifei He and Wang Weitong, both starring in this film, graduated from Zhejiang Art School, which makes people look forward to the wonderful cooperation of the three alumni in the same play.
It is understood that the film is based on billiards, and the story focuses on elements such as affection, inspiration and family feelings. The film tells the touching story of Dele, a talented player who was abandoned by his mother and his father died young. After meeting He Xiaoyi, the daughter of a billiards coach, he experienced various practical obstacles and psychological obstacles, and finally changed from a used car dealer to a world billiards champion. The value of family affection and people’s courage and perseverance in the face of difficulties are further discussed.
Director Chen Tianyi was born in Xinchang, Zhejiang, China. Since he was a child, he has shown a strong interest in art, and he has performed well in calligraphy, painting, writing and other disciplines. Director Chen Tianyi was admitted to the film and television dance major of Zhejiang Art School with excellent results. After graduation, he transferred to the Central Academy of Drama for further study, and systematically learned the knowledge related to film and television. He never gave up his dream of directing, and even tried to write plays after work. Finally, in 2016, his first play, Miss Petunia, was born, which was also a key step in his dream. In September of the same year, with limited funds, he successfully completed the film production with his own talent and team efforts. The film Miss Petunia was released in 2019. This work has won many awards at home and abroad, making him a high-profile film director.
Teacher Caifei He, winner of the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress, also came to the press conference. She said that she liked the script "Lovely Home" very much. The script was very cinematic and excellent. Taking billiards as the carrier, it shows the family story between the protagonist and his mother from a very novel perspective. At the same time, Mr. Caifei He thinks that no matter whether it is a big production or a small production, as long as the film story is good and well shot, it is a good work. I look forward to seeing this film very much.
Teacher Zhang Chenguang said in an interview that when she first came to Xinchang, she felt that the local culture was profound, the mountains and rivers were beautiful, and the transportation was developed. Xinchang’s future tourism industry would be very good. Playing billiards coach for the first time is also very novel. The theme of billiards is very good. Now there are 100 million people playing billiards in China, and the audience is huge. He is full of confidence in this film and thinks that the future is promising.
Teacher Tian Niu, who can’t come to the scene because she works overseas, made a special video to express her regret and give her best wishes. She also said that she was looking forward to participating in the film "Lovely Home" and hoped to perform with you as soon as possible.
Wang Wei, the star of the recent hit drama "Taking Love as the Camp", plays the heroine Xiao Yi in this film. At the opening ceremony, she told reporters that this is a warm family realistic film, and she likes this role very much. She is looking forward to the wonderful billiards competition in the film, and revealed that there will be heavyweight billiards figures in the form of eggs.
Director Chen Tianyi said that he can go back to his hometown Xinchang to shoot this film, and he can integrate the characters and stories of this film into the local customs and beautiful scenery of his hometown, which will have a resonance and strive to create a local cultural IP in Xinchang. When the reporter asked why the director wanted to play the role of Dele himself, the director admitted that he was an enthusiast of billiards and had high requirements for billiards scenes. It was difficult to find an actor who could play well, perform well and deeply understand the characters. At the same time, it was more convenient and accurate to control the performance of the characters’ personality details in artistic creation and expression. Director Chen Tianyi said that "lovely home" is just around the theme of home, so it is more meaningful to jointly create this film. Finally, director Chen Tianyi said that it is the foundation of a filmmaker to keep the original heart and establish correct values. This film’s deep emotional expression and positive theme will undoubtedly attract the attention and love of many audiences.
This high-profile film can successfully hold the opening ceremony, thanks to the hard work and team cooperation of the whole crew. Lovely Home will be presented to the audience with a touching story and exquisite production. Let’s look forward to the successful release of this film and contribute to the progress and development of China film industry.
