The film also hopes to bring the courage of "break out and start all over again" to every audience.

Point one:

Guan Hu has a high reputation for the author's film

Cannes double awards are supported by filmmakers at home and abroad.

"Dog Battle" won two awards in the 77th Cannes International Film Festival, "one kind of concern" and "Dog Golden Palm jury Award", becoming the only Chinese-language film to win this year's Cannes Film Festival. The Dog Array, which is regarded by the audience as the "author's masterpiece of expression" directed by Guan Hu, tells a story full of vitality in the cold and fierce northwest town. Some viewers said, "Director Guan Hu will always have a cold heart and human feelings," while the audience said, "this is an annual wild film with a rock spirit, wild and warm." The film is not only deeply loved by the audience, but also gained the support of filmmakers at home and abroad. Jia Zhangke was deeply moved after watching the film, and said that "Guan Hu has successfully returned to his original intention, very innocent and pure, and is the beginning of a new film stage."

Point two:

One man and one dog redeem each other and embrace a new life.

The friendship of people's favorite partners walking side by side touches the hearts of the people

"Dog Battle" is a film in which Director Guan Hu focuses on the topic of "people and Animals" again 12 years after the high-scoring movie "Bull fighting." The film tells the story of Jiro (Peng Yuyan), who just got out of prison in a small town in northwest China more than a decade ago, returning to his native land. In the face of prejudice and precautions, Jiro doesn't know how to start a new life. Forced to make a living to join the dog fighting team, he saved a stray black dog, and he also gained the courage to start again in getting along with the black dog. In the film, Jiro and Black Dog hold each other together to keep warm in solitude, which deeply touched the audience after watching the film. "Jiro and Black Dog are like a pair of mirror images of symbiotic relationship, not simple people and dogs, but more like the communication between people and hearts." Overseas film critics commented on the film, "one person, one dog, two stray souls find each other, the warmth and cruelty are just right."

Point three:

Wild charm! Peng Yuyan subverts and interprets the rough Man in the Northwest.

Cultivate a tacit understanding with animal actors to practice motorcycle stunts.

In the film, Jiro, played by Peng Yuyan, is jailed for wrongdoing. After being released on parole, he has changed from a high-spirited rock star in a small town to a reticent "marginal figure". Some viewers said, "Peng Yuyan's performance is very good, and he plays a very good image of a 'aphasia man' full of flesh and blood. Under the guide of Guan Hu, he is rough and wild, silent and resolute, and integrates with the northwest town. Peng Yuyan also challenged a lot of new things when he took part in the film. Peng Yuyan exposed that the first task of joining the group was to get acquainted with the animal actors. "We spent a lot of time training in the early stage, so it's hard to get the animals to believe you, let alone to act." And the part of Jiro driving a motorcycle in the film was also completed by Peng Yuyan for several days. "if the audience can believe Jiro's stunt after seeing it, I certainly hope it can be done well."

Point four:

The concept of "array" depicts a group of people in a small town.

Actors such as Peng Yuyan, Tong Liya, Jia Zhangke and Zhouyou interpret the faces of all living beings.

On the title of "Dog Array", Director Guan Hu explained in an interview, "Life is full of arrays, and you are often surrounded by the same group of people active in your life." In addition to telling the story of Jiro and Black Dog saving each other, the film also shows a real and rich group of characters through the encounter between Jiro and different characters in the town. A father who is full of estrangement but cares silently, a soul confidant who is destined to be with him, an enemy who is resentful because of unexpected mistakes, and a close friend who reaches out his hand in the darkest hour. Where Jiro will go in this familiar and unfamiliar "array" has also become a major attraction of this film. In addition to starring Peng Yuyan and Tong Liya, Jia Zhangke, Zhou you, Hu Xiaoguang, Wang Yiquan, Niu Xuan and other actors are also more anticipated.

Point five:

The vitality blooming in the dark hits the hearts of the people

Gain the courage to start again and embrace the strength of a new life.

The Dog Array tells a story of "starting again". The protagonist of aphasia, the stray black dog, Jiro and the black dog reflect each other and awaken the most primitive blood because of each other, and one person and one dog is "reborn" in the dark. Many viewers were touched by Jiro's wildness and tenacity. "Jiro lived a bloody life without admiration, and his vigorous vitality was reflected incisively and vividly on him." Peng Yuyan said that the role was also a change for him, and he learned the courage to start again from Jiro. The film also hopes to convey this inspiring power to everyone who wants to start again and everyone who is on the road. As Director Guan Hu said in his Cannes acceptance speech, "always on the road, always on the road."

The film "Dog Battle" is directed by Guan Hu, starring Peng Yuyan and Tong Liya, and starring Jia Zhangke, Zhou you, Hu Xiaoguang, Wang Yiquan, Niu Jiu and Xiaoxin.
