As an original Hong Kong-style action movie, Chasing Zero tells the story of an agent, Uncle Hua (Yam Tat-wah), who has retired from the Jianghu. He makes a living by opening an antique shop in the old street and leads a dull life. One day, the old street was forcibly demolished by the local Qinglong gang, and Uncle Hua’s hidden identity was uncovered, and he was chased by a mysterious organization headed by Ajie (Andy On), from which the story of a duel and a life-and-death struggle began.

Recently, a reporter from Yangcheng Evening News interviewed Yam Tat-wah, listening to him share the production story behind the film and the mentality of "more courage and more progress".

[Talking about roles]

The old man Cao must belong to Yuan Wah, and Andy On can be very three-dimensional

In Chasing Zero, Yam Tat-wah plays the role of Uncle Hua, and he himself is often called Uncle Hua in real life. Let "Uncle Hua" play "Uncle Hua", why do you want to do this design?

Facing the reporter’s question from Yangcheng Evening News, Yam Tat-wah said with a smile, "It was intentional": "I hope that the word’ Uncle Hua’ can become an index to remind everyone of many Hong Kong-made films I made before, and I also hope that the audience after 00 and 90 who haven’t seen Hong Kong-made films will feel confused or curious, so as to go back to my previous Hong Kong-made films. In the words of now, I buried a lot of stalks in this play. "

"Chasing Zero" also assembled a number of "old drama bones" and powerful actors.

In the play, Yuan Wah plays the vagrant Cao Lao, which not only contributes a lot of action scenes, but also plays an important role in Uncle Hua’s identity recovery.

"Brother Yuan Wah is a very good actor," praised Yam Tat-wah. "When I wrote the script, I was saying that’ Old Man Cao’ must be played by Brother Yuan Wah, and this role was tailored for him." Although they are old friends for many years, "Zero Chasing" is the first cooperation between the two. Yam Tat-wah said that apart from their familiarity, the two partners also brought a humorous and lively atmosphere to the film. "In the movie, we scold like two old urchins, which is very cute."

Andy On, a Hong Kong star who plays Uncle Hua’s apprentice and the role of the villain Ajie, has partnered with Yam Tat-wah for many times before-as early as 2003, they collaborated on Strange Encounter, and in 2009, they collaborated on Kill the Doors and Tear the Tickets ………………………………………………………………………………………

However, Yam Tat-wah admits that it is a pity to cooperate with Andy On this time: "Everyone knows that Andy (Andy On) is good at fighting, and they all ask him to do more slapping. But in fact, Andy is a very comprehensive actor, and his literary drama can also be filmed very well. "

Yam Tat-wah revealed that in "Chasing Zero", a lot of emotional scenes were originally filmed to show that Uncle Hua and Ajie attached great importance to mentoring, but considering the length of the film and the rhythm of the story, they had to reluctantly give up. "No way, movies are the art of regret. We will have a second film to meet the audience soon. Then I will definitely arrange some inner world depictions for Andy’s role to let everyone know that he is very three-dimensional."

In the film, the love drama between Jane played by Jiang Peiyao and the police played by Lei Mu was also talked about by many viewers. "Originally, my character and Jane had some emotional drama," Yam Tat-wah revealed. "But I wanted to make the audience wider, so I changed that line into a more subtle emotional line and let it out." Yam Tat-wah believes that the feelings of young people today are bold and direct, and the emotional line between Jane and the police can attract more young audiences: "The final effect is really good!"

[Talking about opinions]

Emotion is the first in the movie, and good actors are not afraid of AI.

With the filming of "After Zero", Yam Tat-wah unlocked her new identity in the past 50 years-being a producer for the first time.

As a producer, Yam Tat-wah needs to protect the film quality from performance, shooting, production and other aspects. While giving consideration to many aspects, Yam Tat-wah attaches great importance to "characterization" and "emotional presentation". He said: "As a producer, I am responsible for the film, the role and everyone. I feel that we must do a good job in the complexity of emotions between people. "

"Which is more troublesome, playing drama or emotional drama?"

Yam Tat-wah, 68, answered the Yangcheng Evening News reporter "It’s an emotional drama" without hesitation: "Whether it’s an action movie or a suspense movie … every movie should always be emotional first. Even if it is an action play, it is necessary to start from an emotional point of view, so that the audience can feel the love and hate of the role. "

Indeed, in "Chasing Zero", in addition to the passionate drama, the love between men and women, the love between mentoring and comrades-in-arms also took a lot of thought to describe in detail. In Yam Tat-wah’s view, this is not just a "cold-blooded" spy film, but a film with a "spy" shell, which is also about friendship, rules and humanity. Yam Tat-wah said: "There are Uncle Hua’s redemption of Jane, Uncle Hua’s general love for Xiaoye’s family, Uncle Hua’s eternal brotherhood with Old Cao, and Uncle Hua’s friendship with the old street neighborhood … There are many emotions, which are very delicate. It is easy for everyone to find a sense of substitution."

Speaking of emotional drama, Yam Tat-wah talked with great interest about the topic of "AI replacing live actors". He believes that the development of science and technology makes it more convenient for people to watch movies. Modern science and technology can make movies more colorful, but good actors don’t have to be afraid of AI: "Our actors have different feelings for every plot and every dialogue. This is AI. How can you learn?"

In the past 50 years, Yam Tat-wah has never stopped filming. Since 1987, more than five shooting records every year have been admired by peers and audiences. In Yam Tat-wah’s world, there seems to be no word "retirement". Now, for Yam Tat-wah, "acting" has long been more than just a job, but also a kind of enjoyment. He lamented to the reporter of Yangcheng Evening News: "I really like acting. I enjoy every role very much. Whether you give me a 10-day, 20-day or 50-day play, I will cherish it. I enjoy the details and enjoy the background of the story. "

In addition, acting can bring Yam Tat-wah a unique life experience, which is also the reason why he is intoxicated: "Not long ago, I filmed in Changbai Mountain in Northeast China at an altitude of more than 2,000 meters, where the sky was blue, which was completely different from that in Hong Kong and Guangzhou. In many places, it is difficult for ordinary people to go, but as an actor, you will be lucky. Acting can give me a variety of very different experiences. "

[Talking about mentality]

Boldly and firmly pursue dreams and always move forward with positive energy.

I hope you can give me more comments and feedback, so that I can do better in the next play.

No matter in the audience’s film meeting or in an exclusive interview with the reporter of Yangcheng Evening News, Yam Tat-wah has repeatedly talked about this.

Why can you have such a humble attitude when you have made great achievements and achieved great success?

Yam Tat-wah said that today’s media are different and people get information in different ways, so we can’t face today’s work with previous experience, so we should always keep a learning attitude.

This time, "Chasing Zero" was broadcast on iQiyi Cloud Cinema. Facing the content of the streaming media platform in Shanghai, "Chasing Zero" faced the competitive pressure that was no less than the big screen of the cinema. Yam Tat-wah said that he didn’t have the mentality of "reducing the dimension" at all. He said modestly, "I’m not here to win, I’m here to learn".

"I really like chatting with friends after 00 and 90. I think my thinking can’t stay at a certain stage all the time. I am a person who is always positive and always moving forward. I hope that in the future, my producer or director’s plays can communicate with the post-00 s and get the recognition of young friends. " In the interview, Yam Tat-wah called himself a "new producer" and called on young audiences to send barrage and write film reviews for the film more than once: "If they think it’s good-looking, I have a bottom in my heart."

"I am old, not dead." This short line is not only the crowning touch in Chasing Zero, but also a true portrayal of Yam Tat-wah’s current mentality. His interpretation of this sentence is: "This actually means that I am still working hard."

Yam Tat-wah told the Yangcheng Evening News reporter that the older I get, the more I feel "literary things are insufficient": "I watch many documentaries, philosophy books and literary works to make up for my shortcomings, and I want to feel some literary and subtle emotions and interactions between people more deeply."

Adhering to the mentality of "never too old to learn", I constantly enrich myself for the performing arts career that Yam Tat-wah loves: "It’s like reading a philosophy book, which is actually very interesting. Different philosophers will discuss one thing from many different angles, which will inspire me to study different roles and understand their complexity."

At the same age, playing the eponymous Uncle Hua, Yam Tat-wah admitted to the Yangcheng Evening News reporter that instead of falling into the situation of "expensive words and few words", he has become more and more eager to express himself to the outside world. Through the role of Uncle Hua, he said his inner thoughts: "Everything must be looked forward!"

When the reporter mentioned the phenomenon that young people are under great pressure and want to "lie flat", Yam Tat-wah said with a serious face: "Never lie flat! "

At the end of the interview, Yam Tat-wah told the Yangcheng Evening News reporter that he never stopped pursuing his dreams, and he also hoped that young people would bravely pursue their dreams: "We were under great pressure when we were young, and the pace of filming was fast and the intensity was high. But I don’t think it matters. I’m not filming to win awards, but to pursue my own dreams. I believe that dreams will come true. Young singers, actors and directors should all move on and find their dreams. Don’t be afraid, keep going! "

　　CCTV News:On August 7th, the Central Radio and Television General Station’s "International Sharp Review" broadcast titled "The investigation of" TongRumen "is coming to an end. How much trouble will it be? The article was reprinted by many overseas media.

　　From 7 to 9 August, French LCF Radio facebook account, German-Chinese Report website, Spanish Radio International website, Italian Radio We website (facebook, twitter), Portugal Lisbon Rainbow FM website (facebook), Portugal Global Iberian client, Brazil Sao Paulo World Radio and Television website (facebook), Many overseas media, such as facebook, Turkish Economic Observation Network, Jordan Global Radio facebook account, Chinese PT portal, Chinese Headline APP, Portuguese New Newspaper APP(facebook, twitter), European Union Chinese website, Europe-China United Times website, Africa Times website, West Africa online website, Japanese Chinese business website, and Greek China website, have forwarded them one after another. From August 8 to 10, this article was also published and forwarded by Hong Kong Ta Kung Pao, wenhui network and Hong Kong Business Daily. The main reports are as follows:

　　US President Trump, who ruled the country by Twitter, once again pushed himself to the forefront with Twitter on the 5th, denouncing the report of "fake news" on his beloved eldest son Donald Trump Jr as "a complete fabrication", and revealed that in 2016, Trump Jr. met a Russian female lawyer at Trump Tower in new york, with the aim of obtaining information from his political opponents, which was "completely legal and a consistent practice in politics".

　　As early as more than a year ago, when The New York Times first disclosed the meeting, Trump Jr. made it clear that they were discussing a project on the adoption of Russian children that the US government had stopped. He also went to the closed-door hearing of Congress to ensure that Trump himself did not know about the meeting, and that the presidential campaign had nothing to do with Russia. However, a few months later, the media revealed that this statement was drafted by President Trump himself.

　　Now, 13 months after Trump Jr.’ s statement, President Trump actually admitted on Twitter that the meeting was to get the black materials of his opponent from Russian lawyers. People who are used to Trump’s reneging performance can’t help but be shocked when they see such a reversal! Ian Bremmer, chairman of Eurasia Group, the world’s largest political risk consulting company, concluded that either President Trump lied or the liar was Trump Jr.

　　The mainstream media in the United States and Europe have pointed out that the meeting two years ago happened to be an important link involved in the investigation of "TongRumen" conducted by Mueller, the special prosecutor of the US Department of Justice. With the approaching mid-term elections in the United States, the investigation of "TongRumen", which has been going on for more than a year, is drawing to a close. On the 5th, mainstream media in the United States, including Washington post, CNN and Associated Press, reported that the investigation of "TongRumen" is likely to harm people around President Trump, especially Trump Jr., the eldest son who planned and participated in the meeting.

　　Legal experts believe that Trump Jr.’ s contact with foreigners in order to obtain black materials from political opponents violates the relevant provisions of the US election law and may even be suspected of "conspiracy against the United States". At the beginning of this year, when Bannon, Trump’s strategist and former chief strategist of the White House, broke with Trump, he once said that the meeting was a treason. Nowadays, everyone has speculated whether such a heavy accusation has entered Muller’s "TongRumen" investigation list.

　　In fact, Mana Ford, another important figure in that meeting and former general manager of Trump’s campaign team, is now in deep jail because of many charges such as "conspiracy against the United States", and the case will be heard next month. At present, Manafort has been accused by the special prosecutor Mueller team for economic problems such as bank fraud and tax evasion, and the case has entered the trial stage. Although Mana Ford refused to plead guilty, Rick Gates, his former business partner and now a federal tainted witness, admitted to the jury on the 6th that he had helped Mana Ford commit crimes such as bank and securities fraud, and described the criminal process in detail. Earlier, Gates and Manafort were charged with money laundering and "conspiracy against the United States". He was dealt with separately because he all pleaded guilty and became a tainted witness.

　　Can Manafort continue to be hard-pressed and wait for Trump to exercise his presidential power in the future to give him Amnesty? Or will you plead guilty and become an important tainted witness of "TongRumen"? This is not only a drama that the media all over the world pay attention to, but also a trial that makes President Trump very worried.

　　Trump tweeted at the beginning of the trial that Mana Ford was wronged, saying that Mana Ford was once the right-hand man of former President Reagan and other Republican leaders, but now he was treated unfairly by the Mueller team, which was worse than that suffered by Alfonse Capone, the number one "public enemies" in the United States. He also questioned the evidence of communication with Russia and demanded that Attorney General sessions immediately terminate the investigation of "communication with Russia". Of course, the White House had to remedy afterwards that the president’s tweet was not giving orders, but expressing his views.

　　Trump’s aversion to the "TongRumen" investigation has a long history. Whenever it comes to the investigation of "TongRumen", he is always labeled as "witch hunting" and "fraud". According to American media statistics, in the first seven months of this year, he sent out 84 such labels.

　　At the same time, Michael Cohen, a former private lawyer who has handled all kinds of bad things and worries for Trump for many years, is now being investigated for being involved in bank and tax fraud activities, especially for possibly violating the relevant regulations of the election law. The US media disclosed that FBI agents had obtained a batch of audio clips in Cohen’s apartment, office and hotel room, among which Cohen secretly recorded a conversation with Trump, showing that they had discussed it with former Playboy magazine girl McDougall before the election, asking her to conceal her ulterior relationship with Trump. According to reports, Cohen also confirmed to the Muller investigation team that Trump met with Russian lawyers and got Trump’s approval in advance. This remark was immediately attacked by Trump’s current lawyer and former mayor of new york, Giuliani, calling Cohen a "pathological liar". Cohen, who used to talk about blocking bullets for Trump, has now turned against him. How much deadly black material is there in the conversation he secretly recorded?

　　As the investigation of "TongRumen" enters the final stage, President Trump, who is on vacation at the New Jersey Golf Course, is faced with a difficult choice: whether to take the initiative to accept the question of special prosecutor Muller or wait for Muller’s summons to answer the question? Will this duplicitous American president, who is good at picking things up, play another trick to divert public attention and cover up his weak life? Or, did Muller offer a fatal blow to Trump when former FBI Director Komi made a move against Hillary?

On August 31st, 1991, the State Council held a national working conference on cleaning up "triangular debts". The main contents are as follows: 1. "Triangle debt" has become a serious obstacle to the normal operation of the national economy, and it is imperative to fundamentally solve the problem of "triangle debt". The State Council decided to clean up the "triangle debt" as a breakthrough to enliven large and medium-sized state-owned enterprises and control the economic order. The main leaders of local governments should personally ask about the cleanup work and put it on the agenda; Overcome wrong ideas, seize the time and do it well in three years. Second, the meeting stipulated the guiding ideology, main tasks, main practices and key targets of this work, and stipulated the time limit for the occurrence of this "triangular debt" included in the clean-up, as of June 30, 1991. Third, the meeting exchanged the experience of the pilot project of clearing debts in Northeast China and the measures to prevent debts. Combined with the actual situation of various regions and departments, the meeting formulated more specific and feasible scheme measures for clearing debts and preventing debts, and put forward specific requirements for the next step of clearing debts.

On August 17th, 1992, the Office of the Leading Group for Clearing Triangular Debts in the State Council introduced that China had made great progress in clearing triangular debts.

By the end of July, except for a few projects that did not meet the loan conditions and the national industrial policy, the arrears of national capital construction and technological transformation before the end of 1991 had been basically cleared up, one year ahead of schedule. In the past two years, the state has injected 51 billion yuan to clean up triangular debts. And take the scientific method of cleaning up the fixed assets from the source of default for five consecutive years, and untie the debt chain of enterprises by more than 200 billion yuan, which has achieved good results by investing funds in 1 yuan to clear 4 yuan’s arrears. This progress has eased the debt chain burden for large and medium-sized enterprises, thus creating favorable conditions for the rational growth of the national economy.

However, there are still some provinces and cities with projects with funding gaps, resulting in new arrears; There are also some enterprises that do not look at the market and blindly produce, resulting in a backlog of products. The State Council asked all regions and departments not to leave a gap in funds for new projects to prevent new arrears, and reiterated that the state would no longer organize the liquidation of arrears that occurred after 1992.

"I am a veteran, and I must go at this time!" Facing the turbulent flood, Wu Keyu, a cadre of retired military affairs bureau in Luanping County, Chengde City, Hebei Province, who has been in length of military service for 16 years, wiped the mud on his face and said firmly in a hoarse voice.

If the disaster is like an order, the mission will be achieved. The county veterans affairs bureau quickly organized forces to go to the front line. In the village where the road was washed away, the rescue team composed of retired soldiers waded through the water with only one safety rope, and walked back and forth for more than 20 kilometers for 12 hours in a row, transferring 37 trapped people to safety, including 8 elderly people and 5 children. When the last old man was carried back to the resettlement site, Zhao Jianjun, a retired soldier, had already been soaked in muddy water, and his boots were deeply scratched. "Everything should be done. If you have been a soldier, you have to rush ahead." Zhao Jianjun said.

The militia emergency forces organized by the County People’s Armed Forces Department have also become the backbone of the rescue. In the middle of the night of July 28th, 40 backbone militia members formed a material delivery team to carry bread, drinking water and other living materials on foot in the muddy mountain road. "The road ahead has slipped, so follow me around!" Chloe Wang, the captain of the militia, took a flashlight to explore the road ahead, and his trouser legs were cut by branches. After a four-hour trek, they finally sent the second batch of relief supplies to the affected people in Mayingzi Manchu Township. On the same day, another militia rescue team delivered materials to the affected areas in three batches, with a total journey of 45 kilometers, which sent much-needed living security to the temporarily disconnected villages.

In the settlement of Hongqi Town, the backbone militia became "waiters" to help build temporary tents and distribute relief materials, and specially prepared hot water and medicines for the elderly and children.

"Seeing these comrades wearing camouflage uniforms, my heart is practical." Uncle Li, a villager who had just been transferred, said that the militia not only helped him grab important documents from home, but also patiently calmed his emotions.

Up to now, the retired military affairs system cadres and backbone militia in Luanping County have transferred more than 200 people, transported 12 tons of materials and participated in road dredging for 3 kilometers. These figures, once dressed in military uniforms, continued to write loyalty with persistence and dedication in the face of public opinion, becoming the most reliable "guardians" in the hearts of the masses.
