Some people equate "life events" with "death". Some people point out that Zhu Yilong, the leading actor, used to be a traffic star, while others point out the story and shooting methods. All kinds of doubts failed to prevent this film from becoming a dark horse at the summer box office.
Life Events is obviously a low-cost film. The cost of online transmission does not exceed 60 million, and now the box office has exceeded 654.38+0 billion. This achievement has been a great surprise for the producers. In the current blockbuster movie market, Life Events focuses on an industry that has been neglected by China movies for a long time. It can be said that it has opened up a new way in subject matter, saying, "Every star is a star.
"People who plant stars" has since become a romantic and beautiful title for people engaged in the funeral industry. A movie makes us re-examine an industry that concerns our life and death and have a different understanding of them.
There are also people around me who are engaged in this industry, none of them. There are three funeral service shops opposite, the owners of which I am familiar with, but our neighbors seldom enter their shops, and they are all near and far, because it is difficult to overcome their psychological fear of those funeral supplies. Intuitive knowledge tells us that those things are unlucky. I always feel gloomy and don't want to get close. Because of their industry, we are used to staying away from them, and we always feel that they also have some bad luck related to death, which is the most intuitive cognition of many people to people in this industry.
"Events in Life" does not preach to the audience with grand narrative techniques, but only restores ordinary stories in life with very plain methods. Let's rethink life and death from the perspective of bystanders, the mortician is a life-and-death industry. With the narrative technique of tears in laughter, let us immerse ourselves in the story that the hero Mo Sanmei, a man with burning cigarette scar on his arm, has been in prison and is unprofessional on impulse, while the disobedient hero Xiaowen is rebellious and ignorant, but these two people eventually become father and daughter and realize two-way redemption through mutual affirmation. People who are despised and despised by people around them actually lack not preaching, but love and attention.
Only when a person is needed can he feel his importance and have a sense of responsibility. Mo Sanmei felt needed by Xiaowen, so she had a goal in life and understood the meaning of life.
Zhu Yilong and Yang Youen vividly portrayed these two roles, which is also the key factor for the success of this film.
"Life Events" will also become a turning point in Zhu Yilong's career, and he has taken another big step forward in his March into movies. Next, what he lacks is to participate in a film directed by a domestic heavyweight director, so that he can completely advance into the ranks of first-line actors in China and get rid of the negative impact brought by the traffic star label.
Zhu Yilong's resources have not been very good, and it has won many opportunities. With the popularity of "Soul of the Town", he didn't take the opportunity to participate in variety shows to make money, but took over very hard-shot dramas such as "Tomb Raider Notes". Restart, and then move to the big screen to shoot a disaster film like "The Peak Explosion". Later, he completely ignored the aura of a beautiful man in ancient costume. Playing the punk role of Mo Sanmei shows that Zhu Yilong is an ideal actor. His aim is not to make money by acting, but to become an accomplished actor.
"Life Events" will be a report card for Zhu Yilong to go to the big screen. It is obvious to all that he has proved his acting skills and commercial value with extraordinary performance. What he lacks is opportunity.
During the filming, Zhu Yilong learned the relevant knowledge from the mortician for more than a month. Yesterday he brushed a video sent by a mortician. He looked at Zhu Yilong's technique in the film from a professional perspective. The anchor said that Zhu Yilong's technique was very precise, which also confirmed that the crew and actors were serious and responsible in details, which was also a part of the success of Life Events.
I expect Zhu Yilong to get better resources. Good actors should be discovered by good directors, giving him a bigger stage and letting us see better movies. Only in this way can China's films have a virtuous circle and create more rich and beautiful spiritual food for the audience.
