Exclusive interview with Shawn Dou: I haven’t played masculine in my girlfriend "Thirteen Chains"
In the face of Dong Jie’s ability to calm down and play the role of anti-Japanese officer in the "Thirteen Women" in Shawn Dou.
Whether it’s the third child in Love with a Hawthorn Tree or Qu Qiubai in Autumn Flowers, both roles played by Shawn Dou are somewhat literary, and he doesn’t mind being called a "literary niche". The relationship between him and Angel in the film is beautiful and romantic. When asked about the difference between Qu Qiubai and the third child, Shawn Dou said: "I played the third child as my true color, and the role of Qu Qiubai is more complicated. I am far from him except that I have studied in school." Before filming, Shawn Dou did a lot of preparatory work. Not only did he read a lot of written materials, but he also contacted Qu Qiubai’s adopted daughter and did his homework.
Angel plays Yang Zhihua in Autumn Flowers, and Qu Qiubai are lovers. Although Dong Jie is eight years older than Dou Xiao, Shawn Dou admits that they have a very happy cooperation. "We have become good friends now, and she has a very special temperament, which can make me calm down and act with peace of mind, and I have learned a lot from her."
Shawn Dou also admitted that he really wanted to play an action movie now, and Zhang Yimou wanted to shoot flowers of war. After he recommended himself, he got the director’s permission to play an anti-Japanese soldier in the film. "At that time, I just mentioned (my own idea) to the director, and he agreed. In fact, I am definitely on call for Zhang’s play." Shawn Dou said that he will be filming in the group this month (April), but he still knows nothing about the role.
