Synopsis

A man returned home from years on the run to find his wife had died of cancer and his son gotten a divorce after his grandson’s birth. The once mighty gangster ended up living in a nursing home in his old age. In the nursing home he found warmth and love of a younger woman. As he tried to break the news of his May-December romance to his son, he discovered his son was living with a man who his son claimed to be a “close friend.” Three generations of Wu, the grandfather who hates to lose face, the father who thinks love trumps all, and the rebellious grandson, collided as they dealt with love, friendship and family.

Summary:

An all-powerful “Brother Quan” (played by Gu Baoming), fled overseas for more than ten years due to a shooting case. Unexpectedly, after returning to China, everything was changed. His wife died of a serious illness, and his son Huaiwen (played by Sun Peng) was also there. His wife divorced after giving birth to a son, and Wu Shuangquan, who has been calling the wind and rain for most of his life, got his wife and children in exchange. After entering the nursing home, he began to establish an underground order. It was not until he met Meijiao (Zhang Shiying), a Vietnamese overseas Chinese who often delivered food to the nursing home, that he felt warm in his later years.

Planning to go home to share the family relationship with his son Huaiwen and grandson Yiheng (played by Yan Yulin), and when discussing the second spring, he finds that there is an extra male friend in the family who claims to be his son’s friend.

A face-loving grandfather Wu Shuangquan, a father Wu Huaiwen who is desperate for love, and a grandson Wu Yiheng (played by Yan Yulin) who is just bursting into youth. It weaves together the different values ​​of love, affection, and friendship among three generations of men, and sees how they will find the intersection of mutual love in an incomplete and crippled family.

Behind the scenes:

The mini-series [Shuangquan] co-operated by Weilai TV Network and Guotuo Culture is in full swing. The actors Sun Peng, Gu Baoming, Gao Yingxuan, Zhang Shiying, etc. in the film will probably spend Father’s Day in 2013 on the set! Although Sun Peng has reported to his wife Di Ying in advance to play a comrade in this play, but on Father’s Day, she declined to bring her children to visit the set.

Frankly speaking, the role in “Shuang Quan” is his biggest challenge in the past 30 years since his debut. He also used the script to discuss gender education with his 13-year-old son, so that his son understands and respects homosexuality, but his son maturely said that the one he loves is still a girl. But later on I don’t know. In addition, the screen “filial daughter” Zhang Shiying is also a genuine filial daughter in private. She has a very good relationship with her father.

Every time she meets, she will learn from Qiong Yao’s movie and rush to hug and kiss. The father and daughter are so good that even their mother is jealous! Gao Yingxuan, who once participated in the movie “Lust, Caution”, is tall and upright, and this time he has acted as a gay man for the fourth time. I feel very sorry for my father who has passed away for three years. Because his father has a strict and serious personality, he could not accept his son acting as a gay man during his lifetime. , I hope to have better works to comfort my father who is already in heaven.

Sun Peng mentioned that no one thought that he could also be cast as a comrade. He also resorted to the trick of killing first and then playing – he had already promised the crew to perform, and then he went home and told his wife that he had encountered a dream script, but the role was very controversial. Unexpectedly, Di Ying immediately asked, “Are you playing gay?

That’s great.” Then he joked, “I thought you were going to come out!” My wife and son are both super high, not only don’t care, but also encourage him, let him let go of the big stone in his heart. In order to thank the director Zhu Feng for his insight, he spent more time and energy trying to figure out the role.

He shyly said that he didn’t dare to go to a gay bar to watch it alone, so he had to rent a bunch of gay movies and watch them at home. He also went to ask many gay friends, and joked that “Keep your distance from your wife during filming!”.

Father’s Day is approaching, but Sun Peng declined Di Ying to bring his son to the set to celebrate for him. He was afraid that they would catch his father and the hunk Gao Yingxuan in the play performing a passionate scene between men and women! In addition, Sun Peng also took the opportunity to take the [Shuang Quan] The script and his son come to a “gender education”, so that the son understands gays and respects other people’s different choices of love. The 13-year-old son has a very mature personality. He said that he loves girls now, but he won’t know in the future.

The screen “filial daughter” Zhang Shiying plays the proprietress of a Vietnamese snack bar in “Shuangquan” this time. She is really a filial daughter in the eyes of her parents in private, and she has a very good relationship with her father. She is so popular that she is too busy to see each other often. Every time she meets, she exaggerates like Qiong Yao’s movie and rushes to hug and kiss. The father and daughter are so good that even their mother is jealous! On Father’s Day in 2013, I even wrote a check to my dad to give away whatever he loves. He laughed and said that his frugal dad couldn’t bear to spend money on loving his daughter!

Gao Yingxuan, who once participated in the movie “Lust, Caution”, is known as “The First Brother of Beiyi” Said that he was a famous figure in school, because of his handsome and upright appearance, he has often played comrades for the director since “Seventeen-Year-Old Sky”. The father of 2000, because of his serious personality, could not accept his son acting as a gay man. Fortunately, after several years of training, he has just begun to show his prominence. ” and so on have wonderful performances, I hope there will be better works in the future to comfort my father in heaven.

The movie “Shuangquan” is not only the name of the grandfather in the film, but also a metaphor for the fate of the people in the film. Wu Shuangquan, a gangster, abandons his wife and son. Difficult to choose between the family and the other side. Although Sun Tzu Yiheng loves his father deeply, he cannot tolerate the gay lovers around him, and is irritable and rebellious. In the tug-of-war between gay identity and family responsibilities, there is no happy ending in the end. In the end, the family and friends sitting around on New Year’s Eve had fun.
