01:58After making a trip to the international film scene
02:00Now I've finally returned home.
02:02Returned to Malaysia
02:03In conjunction with the upcoming official release of the film
02:05Tim's creative team
02:07It started yesterday
02:08Marathon-style promotional trip
02:10Traveling north and south with movie fans
02:12Close interaction
02:16And the first stop of this homecoming campaign
02:19We chose the Patignan Mall in Kuala Lumpur.
02:21Officially launched
02:22For Tim's local return
02:24The curtain rises
02:30Tim adapted from the village of Sin Lo in Kedah
02:33Long-standing rural legends
02:35Set in the 1990s
02:37The story of a farmer by day
02:39The peasant woman who transforms into a witch at night
02:41Provide medical treatment to villagers
02:43The story of fighting against evil forces
02:45The film covers folk beliefs
02:47Land conflict
02:48Multiple topics including ethnicity and women's issues
02:51The creative team was once worried
02:53Will the film pass the film censorship smoothly?
02:56In order to bring Tim back to Malaysia
02:58Director Zhang Jiean revealed
02:59He personally visited the State Electricity Control and Inspection Bureau to communicate and coordinate.
03:03Ultimately, Mother Earth succeeded in preserving most of the core content.
03:08Successfully released in Malaysia
03:09For Zhang Jiean
03:11This is a breakthrough for local films.
03:14I think the process of talking to the electronic inspection
03:17I hope one day
03:18I hope that one day I won't have to go into that room anymore.
03:21After each return
03:24He immediately told me about God.
03:25Of course, I'm very glad this time.
03:27It should be one of these four movies
03:29Cut the least
03:30Minimal repairs
03:31I hope next time I won't cut it at all.
03:36While I was still hesitating
03:38When should we cast Fan Bingbing in this movie?
03:43He followed me back to my hometown rice paddies.
03:45Then he fell down.
03:47During the break
03:48I asked him a question
03:50You worked so hard to get this role
03:53Why
03:55He told me
03:56I want to start over.
03:58One sentence: I want to start over
04:00Fan Bingbing entered Zhang Jiean's cinematic world.
04:03From planting rice seedlings in the summer fields to living with water buffalo
04:07Zhang Jiean used a near-destructive method
04:10Let Fan Bingbing lose her halo
04:12In the movie, she becomes a peasant woman.
04:14She won the title of Best Actress on the Golden Horse stage.
04:17It also helped Fan Bingbing regain the strength to continue acting.
04:20I think there must be many disappointing aspects.
04:23Then a lot of very sad emotions
04:26But during that low point in my life
04:29There is
04:30There really are some people who shine.
04:33Just like Zhang Jiean
04:34Then when you work with these teams
04:37Do you think there will be an opportunity?
04:39I rediscovered some of my wishes and dreams.
04:44Without director Zhang Jiean
04:46Without Tim
04:47Then there were no green leaves like the ones I photographed earlier.
04:50What about these movies?
04:51Perhaps I was already attracted five years ago.
04:55Continuing Zhang Jiean's consistent creative team
04:57Familiar face Cai Baozhu
04:59He also reappeared in Tim's cast list.
05:02She has a profound background in stage plays
05:04This time, he made a bold breakthrough in Tim.
05:07Showing an almost beast-like performance tension
05:10Presenting a highly impactful character state
05:13It also allowed the audience to rediscover the acting prowess of this veteran actor.
05:18This is my fourth film directed by Gian.
05:21And he has also acted in countless other newsreels, etc.
05:25Everyone will see this colorful gemstone.
05:28This colorful gemstone's face
05:31My face is mine
05:32But will you surpass that face?
05:36You didn't see the colored gemstone.
05:38That's the key point.
05:40So if you didn't see the colored gemstone this time...
05:44If you see a ferocious beast
05:46Then thank you.
05:48You believed me
05:49From the applause at the Golden Horse Awards
05:51Returning to familiar land
05:52Tim completed a journey across borders.
05:56It also makes people see the potential of local films again.
05:59I think buying a lot
06:01They worked very hard for the story of their hometown.
06:04Some very important creators of storytelling
06:07So I think we should buy a ticket.
06:10Support and after watching
06:13Give us more of your thoughts after watching.
06:16And then this review is for us
06:18They are all a driving force for creation.
06:19Tim, May 14
