When shooting the film "Old Well", in order to find the psychological feeling and screen image of being trapped underground for three days, Zhang Yimou really did not enter the rice for three days. [5]
-
"Old Well" won many domestic and international film awards, and Wu Tianming used the 100,000 yuan prize money to dig a well for Shiyu Valley, where the film was filmed in Zuoquan County, Shanxi Province. [6]
-
In 1986, Wu Tianming shot the movie "Old Well", and widely posted hero posts looking for the male lead Sun Wangquan. Zhang Yimou was chosen. [7]
-
After the production of Old Well, Wu Tianming learned that the road in Shiyu Valley, Zuoquan County, Shanxi Province, was short of money. He donated 100,000 yuan to the Lifetime Achievement Award of China Film Directors Association and got 200,000 yuan from Haier Group to help Wang Xianzheng, director of the State Administration of Work Safety, build a cement road with an investment of 500,000 yuan. [8]

Chen Wancai When shooting the explosion scene, the smoke did not disperse before entering the shooting scene, the nose was irritated by the smoke, and the bleeding was not stopped. After shooting the movie, he was hospitalized and suffered from nasopharyngeal cancer. [9]
Lao Jing, directed by Wu Tianming, can be seen as a microcosm of the struggle of the countryside to get rid of the dilemma after the reform and opening up. Lao Jing Village and Sun Wangquan do not exist as an individual, they symbolize the image of thousands of rural areas and farmers in China, and also reflect the spirit of contemporary rural youth who dare to sacrifice for a better tomorrow.

Zhang Yimou's role as Sun Wangquan in "Old Well" is one of the most acclaimed roles. With his simple performance, he shows the dual character of the rural intellectual youth in the new period, which is tenacious struggle and patience, highlights the dedication of the role, and gives the role profound cultural significance.
(Sohu Entertainment review)
[3]
The film revolves around the story of several generations of farmers digging Wells, reflecting the struggle spirit of the 21st century countryside to overcome nature and overcome self, reflecting different levels of national cultural consciousness. Through realistic expression techniques, the film shows the dedication of contemporary rural youth, and thus praises the tenacious perseverance of the Chinese nation.
