The film was praised for its "no urine spot" in one second.

The film is based on the Shanxi-Shaanxi Grand Canyon of the Yellow River, and tells a crime story that has lasted for 20 years. Qin Jin, played by Jiang Wu, killed a policeman in a gunfight 20 years ago and escaped. Jiang Han, played by Shao Bing, was the only survivor. Twenty years later, Qin Jin came back and met a beautiful and sexy song and dance girl here, Wei Wei, and had a close relationship. Wei Wei is actually the daughter of the police martyr who died that year. For many years, Jiang Han has been taking care of her. With the development of the case and the relationship between Qin Jin and Vivian, the 20-year-old secret was uncovered layer by layer, and the waves of the past fluctuated again. What is the truth behind that incident? Where will Vivian’s revenge go?

Starring Jiang Wu and Shao Bing are excellent powerful actors, and the image of a tough guy is deeply rooted in people’s hearts. What kind of sparks will they have when they cooperate as starring actors for the first time is very exciting. It is worth mentioning that the film won many honors at the Shanghai Film Festival and Macau Film Festival in 2018, and Jiang Wu also won the Best Supporting Actor Award at the China-US Film Festival.

Shao Yafeng, the director of this film, is directing a cinema film for the first time, but the previous short film "Catch" has won many praises. The director is also a hard-working and talented "scholar", with a bachelor’s degree in Guanghua School of Management, the top scholar in Peking University, and a master’s degree in scriptwriting in Beijing Film Academy.

The film does not simply apply the Hollywood or Korean crime film model, but incorporates a lot of local elements in China. The lens well shows the heroic and rough nature of the Yellow River Basin, and at the same time, it also creates a "chivalrous man" different from Hollywood superheroes, a typical oriental hero image. Many viewers said: "The picture is very grand, and the sense of substitution is also very strong. I feel that I am in the film." Some viewers also bluntly said: "This film is one of the few types in China, and it can integrate chivalry into a crime-themed film."

At the premiere, director surprise gift made a deep confession.

This premiere not only showed the content of the film to the audience in advance, but also made a surprise appearance with director Shao Yafeng and starring Shao Bing. Although Jiang Wu, another star of this film, was unable to arrive at the scene due to work reasons, which made the audience feel a little sorry, the director had an in-depth discussion with the audience on the film itself, such as creative ideas and shooting process, and the atmosphere was warm, which also made the audience know more about the film.

In the interactive questioning session, some viewers asked the director, "Why did you set the whole film in the background of the Yellow River Basin?"? The director said:

The Yellow River is very important in the film. One reason why the Yellow River was filmed is that in real life, the middle reaches of the Yellow River, Shaanxi and Shanxi are rich in cultural relics, and there are also many cultural relics crimes. However, this is a secondary reason, and the most important thing is to use the Yellow River to strengthen the emotions and artistic conception of stories and characters, which is an artistic consideration.

In recent years, there are few films set on the Yellow River. In the 1980s and 1990s, there were some films of the fifth generation, such as "Singing while Walking", but almost all of them were stories before the Republic of China. In recent years, the Yellow River has hardly been filmed in China’s films, and there is no progressive and contemporary story about the Yellow River. Therefore, we are also shooting with a special sense of responsibility and mission.

In Chinese’s mind, the Yellow River is a rich and complex element and a very special cultural symbol. She can be a portrayal of the national spirit, but also a symbol of fate, nature and life. In this film, it is a crime story on the surface, but it is deeply about fate, humanity, humanitarianism and heroes. It is a very heavy theme, so it is very suitable to be represented by the Yellow River. Therefore, we also took her very seriously. During the whole filming process, the director kept silent respect for the Yellow River in his heart.

The crew ran 10 thousand kilometers along the Yellow River, almost all of which were mountain roads, full of tunnels, bends and steep slope protection. The 2000-mile Shanxi-Shaanxi Grand Canyon, from the starting point, Laoniu Bay in Inner Mongolia, to the end point, Longmen in Shaanxi, can be said to be fearless of hardships and dangers. Many beautiful shots of the Yellow River are actually very dangerous to shoot. In order to get the best angle, the camera is mounted on the bank of a cliff tens of meters high, and the director and the camera crew are holding each other. One step away is the straight cliff and the surging river. In the end, the effect of the film was recognized by the audience and made us very happy.

It is reported that the film "Meet the Chivalrous Road" will be released nationwide on October 18th.
