Yu Zheng Praises Film

However, in the upcoming National Day release of the movie Give You a Candy <出入平安>, she plays a pregnant villager, showcasing a remarkable leap in her acting skills, which has surprised many netizens. Even “golden producer” Yu Zheng (于正), who was invited to watch the film, praised her performance highly, saying it was unexpected and has left audiences eagerly anticipating the movie.

In the past, Gulinazha mostly portrayed “flower vase” roles with little depth, but in Give You a Candy, she sheds her idol image to play the pregnant villager. There is one scene, in particular, where she is separated from her husband, and her emotional breakdown is full and intense, displaying layers of sadness that gradually increase. This improvement in her acting skills has impressed many netizens, giving them a new perspective on her talent.

With the film garnering widespread praise even before its official release, Gulinazha has gone all out to promote the film during its roadshow tour, even performing a live Xinjiang dance spontaneously, showing off her graceful moves and delighting the audience. Yu Zheng, invited to an early screening of the film, had nothing but praise, saying, “It was truly unexpected. This is the most emotionally engaging film I’ve seen in the past decade, with twists and turns that made me laugh and cry. Every actor performed exceptionally, and the director did a fantastic job, I took away immense emotional value. I genuine recommend it with no bias. I rarely recommend bad films, so you can trust this one”.

After hearing Yu Zheng’s glowing review, many netizens expressed excitement for the film, pushing up anticipation for Give You a Candy to become a hit during the National Day (Guóqìngjié) holiday.
