1905 movie network news Recently, a suspense crime film directed by and starring Zhang Junning released a special edition of "Self-Salvation", which showed that Zhang Junning broke through herself and played a vulnerable policewoman who was deeply hurt by emotion. She finally saved herself by saving other innocent women. The special also presents the new challenges faced by Zhang Junning’s first film producer.

The movie Chasing tells the story of Wu Jie (Zhang Junning), a policewoman who suffered from her husband’s depression and suicide and was at a low point in her life, who accidentally found the body of an unknown woman who had her heart cut off and her fingers severed, and conducted an investigation. In the process of tracing the case, she found that the details of the murderer’s cruel crime point to a terrible love killing, and all the clues lead to the illegal black intermediary Lin Yousheng (Ehan Juan). The case of love killing is confusing, and the high-energy reversal is thrilling. Can Wu Jie catch the real murderer, save innocent female victims and realize self-redemption?

In the "self-redemption" version of Zhang Junning’s special edition, Zhang Junning explained her understanding of the character Wu Jie. She said: "As a criminal policeman, Wu Jie is a man who has fought many battles, but his heart is full of holes and heavy emotional trauma." In the film, Wu Jie’s husband suffered from depression and chose to commit suicide in the car. This car is of great significance to the family and is a witness to their feelings. After her husband’s death, Wu Jie was unable to get out of emotional trauma for a long time. She worked as usual during the day, but at night she curled up in her husband’s suicide car and fell asleep alone. In order to show the gaunt policewoman’s state, Zhang Junning lost 14 pounds and almost lost her shape, and insisted on daily exercise to keep herself in a state of exhaustion.

In the special edition, we see that Wu Jie encountered a series of suspicious cases of love killings under the condition of emotional trauma, and through solving this serial murder case, she saved the innocent female victim and finally achieved self-rescue. Zhang Junning hopes that through the growing experience of the role of "Wu Jie", he will give the audience the courage to face the sad past bravely. She said: "Wu Jie is a powerful character. In the face of emotional trauma, she finally found a way to coexist with the pain and go on together. Many times we may not be able to find a good solution. Please give yourself more time. Looking back, we will find that’ the canoe has crossed Chung Shan Man’, and life is just such a period of practice that we need to enjoy the process.

In the special edition, Zhang Junning talked about her feelings of producing a film for the first time. She joked: "Producer is really not a job for people." In the process of film production, Zhang Junning needs to take other considerations besides starring: coordinating shooting time, discussing opening music, and attracting new sponsorship. She said frankly: "Being the producer of the film" Chasing "this time can help me think about film creation from a more comprehensive perspective." On the set, Zhang Junning needs to balance the dual roles of starring and producer, which often makes her feel contradictory.

Producer needs to consider the filming time and budget, but as an actor, Zhang Junning often hopes to spend more time polishing his acting skills and present the best state for the audience. When talking about the feeling of being a producer for the first time, she said: "This experience has provided me with a brand-new perspective, and I have benefited a lot from revisiting the actors’ performances and the whole production process from pre-production to post-editing." The film will be released on November 11th.
