Along with the popular science short film, there are also four thematic stills. In this group of stills, the rescue people at sea are caught in the flames and smoke, but they still move forward bravely. The high-risk working environment in the fire and the fighting spirit that never retreats show the heroic and fearless image of the Chinese superhero rescue people at sea.


Expose the "Guardian" version of the relationship poster


Directed by Guo Jingming, starring Zhao Youting, Deng Lun, Wang Ziwen, Chunxia, and Wang Duo, it is adapted from the oriental fantasy blockbuster "Qing Yaji" of the Japanese writer Nightpillow Tapir’s world-class IP "Onmyoji". The film exposes the "guardian" version of the relationship poster. The whole group of posters is paved with ink and wash scrolls, and the four great divine beasts of China are hidden in the background, which not only enriches the visual style of "Qing Yaji", but also brings new imagination space. With the appearance of this poster, a collision of good and evil full of love and hate entanglements also officially kicked off.


"Haruya Ji" tells the story of Onmyoji Seimei (played by Zhao Youting) and the samurai Boya (played by Deng Lun) who met unexpectedly due to exorcism. The difference in personality and the disparity in life experience make them frequently fight each other. After going through disasters, the two gradually build trust and eventually make a life-giving contract with each other. At present, the film has been set for a national release on December 25.

Deng Chao’s "Founding of the People" creates handsome Xu Beihong, and the vest steals the spotlight


Han Sanping praised Zhao Wei and Deng Chao as the last generation of Chinese movie box office



Deng Chao’s "makeover" in "The Founding of the People"



Deng Chao took a group photo with the cast and actors


  Deng Chao, who had dyed his white hair for filming "Di Renjie" before, has made many fans scream, praising and impressed by Deng Chao’s alternative style. Deng Chao, who went to the suburbs of Beijing on the 27th to shoot the gift blockbuster "Founding of the People", once again "changed his face", appeared in a Western-style white shirt and black vest, and was particularly eye-catching among a group of actors in Mao suits. He was even named the "Most Photogenic Styling Award" by the extras in the film, and also scrambled to take a photo with Deng Chao.


Deng Chao’s Western style makes everyone’s eyes shine


  Deng Chao participated in the filming of the two scenes of the CPPCC preparatory meeting in "The Founding of the People" on the 27th. In order to conform to the formal atmosphere of the meeting, most of the actors present were dressed in serious Mao suits and seriously discussed the relevant matters of the national anthem and national flag of New China. Among the participants, only Deng Chao was wearing a shirt and vest with a foreign flavor, which made the meeting more lively and jumping atmosphere, which was very eye-catching. It turned out that Deng Chao played the famous painter Xu Beihong this time. As a generation of art masters, Mr. Xu Beihong has been engaged in artistic creation all his life and has studied abroad. His personal temperament and aesthetic standards are different. Therefore, it is reasonable to choose black handsome clothes with Western style when participating in the meeting. The new look that Deng Chao tried this time allowed the audience to see a different Deng Chao again, and to see the trendy, lively and romantic side of Deng Chao’s personal temperament.


Deng Chao stood out among the stars


  "The Founding of the People’s Republic", as the most ambitious film in 2009, gathered more than 60 A-list stars from mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, which not only became the biggest highlight of the whole film, but also allowed the extras involved in the shooting to see the grand scene of the star gathering. However, as soon as Deng Chao, who participated in the shooting on the 27th, arrived at the scene, many extras besieged him and asked to take pictures with him. Some extras even said that they were used to seeing stars in military uniforms and Mao suits. Seeing Deng Chao in a handsome black suit, they felt more and more spirited and cute. It can be seen that this Western-style dress made Deng Chao successfully stand out from the star pile.


  He became the object of everyone’s pursuit and love. Deng Chao admitted that such treatment surprised him, and of course he was already happy. But Deng Chao still did not forget that the key to the success of a character lies in the performance level and the presentation of personal temperament. Therefore, while having a handsome dress to "escort", Deng Chao focused on the inner world and connotation of Xu Beihong, hoping that the generation of masters he created, Xu Beihong, could continue to stand out among many characters.
