Han Geng cross-country skiing without a stand-in
Snow-themed movie "Zero Limit" focuses on snowboarding for the first time
Although the Beijing Winter Olympics have come to a successful conclusion, the topic of ice and snow remains hot.
The film "Zero Limit" directed by Ye Weimin and starring Han Geng, Yin Fang, Lang Yueting, etc., will be released soon as my country's first feature film focusing on competitive snowboarding.
Self-exposed to have nearly 20 years of "snow age"
When asked about the original intention of deciding to film "Zero Limit", Han Geng answered without hesitation, of course, because he likes skiing.
"I started skiing in 2003, and I was particularly interested when I heard that this is a film about snowboarding. There has never been a film of this type before. And this time there is an opportunity for the Winter Olympics, and I hope to use the film through the film. Let everyone know more about ice and snow sports.”
As a skiing enthusiast in the entertainment industry, Han Geng first learned to ski. In 2004, he started to play snowboard, and then he couldn't stop. Every snow season, as long as he was free, he would almost go skiing.
This time, for the filming of "Zero Limit", he thought that he could ski while working, but he did not expect that his expectations would fall through.
It turned out that due to the tight schedule of filming, Han Geng had no time to ski at all after joining the group. Only a day or two before the start of the film, he and Yin Fang, another star of the film, had a bit of fun at the ski resort.
According to Han Geng, when he planned to learn lessons from professional skiers in the crew during the filming interval, he was persuaded by the staff because he was worried about his injury.
Until now, Han Geng still feels a little regretful when he recalls this experience.
"If there was no shooting assignment at the time, I really wanted to practice with them every day."
In the film, Han Geng plays Ling Feng, a well-known skier whose career hit rock bottom because of a "hitting" accident.
After that, Lingfeng returned to his hometown of Chongli. With the help of a group of young people who also love skiing, he found his mentor and found his original intention and courage, and finally completed his transformation.
When it comes to this role, Han Geng believes that Lingfeng is a person who has high demands on himself and loves to compete with himself, "Especially when dealing with his own profession, Lingfeng is very focused, so he slowly ignores many details around him. Now many Young people are also in the process of focusing on their work or profession, losing their own lives, and lack of communication with people around them, so we need to find some balance between the two.”
Hangweiya skiing is very different from real skiing
"Zero Limit" shows a lot of wonderful and thrilling skiing scenes, such as U-shaped pool competitions, obstacle chases, etc. Many of the skiing scenes were filmed by Han Geng himself, such as the cross-country skiing in the film.
"The more difficult point this time was the weather. We were halfway through the shooting, and the snow season was almost over, so when we shot some snow scenes, including the obstacle chase, the snow had melted, so it was difficult to get up to speed." He said. He revealed that he sometimes goes skiing with friends, "of course the premise must be safe."
"I like the sense of speed when skiing." Han Geng said with a smile, "The most important thing is that when skiing, you can get closer to nature, you can feel the mountains, feel the snow, and even lying on the ground after falling is very comfortable. "In addition to skiing, Han Geng also likes mountain climbing, diving and other outdoor sports, and enjoys the process of getting in touch with nature.
In order to shoot the slow motion in the air while skiing, Han Geng also hung Weiya this time.
"Because it is an upgraded lens, the height and position requirements for shooting are very strict, and you must follow the prescribed track. Hanging Weiya skiing is very different from real skiing. When you are really skiing, you can control the center of gravity and lift the Weiya speed. No, it's hard to control at that altitude."
In the film, Ling Feng played by Han Geng and Zhang Yuheng played by Yin Fang are both ski masters.
This time, although Han Geng and Yin Fang are working together for the first time, they both feel a tacit understanding as both ski lovers.
Jiang Wu, an actor who worked with Han Geng in the movie "Trident", plays Ling Feng's enlightenment teacher this time in "Zero Limit".
Han Geng revealed that every time he cooperates with Jiang Wu, he can bring a lot of freshness and unexpected joy.
In addition, Han Geng and Wu Jing had a hilarious drinking scene in the film. Han Geng broke the news that Wu Jing was also very funny on the set, and many of his lines were improvised by him.
The Beijing Winter Olympics just ended successfully. Speaking of the Winter Olympics, Han Geng not only made this Winter Olympics-themed movie, but also sang a cheering song "Get Ready".
During the Winter Olympics, he has also been paying attention to the competition.
"We are very happy that this Winter Olympics can be held at our doorstep. Our country has also achieved good results, and we are proud of the athletes. I think ice and snow sports will develop better and better in the future."
