A autumn rain and a coolie, the 2022 National Day holiday is coming to an end in the continuous autumn rain. Among many movies released at the same time, "
,000 Miles Homecoming " is ahead of its list and is definitely the biggest box office winner in the entire National Day holiday.
At 6 days after 2:42, it won 1 billion box office, almost three times the total box office of several other movies, which is enough to prove the audience's love for this movie.
"The Road to Return" is also the only movie this year that has been repeatedly praised by the audience from the plot to the actors and directors. If other movies drive reputation with a certain highlight, then "The Road to Return" is more like everyone gathering together to create an excellent work worthy of history.
So let's talk about who caused the reputation of "The Road to Return":
1: Textual three: Rao Xiaozhi , Guo Fan , Qin Haiyan
The filming and production cycle of the movie "The Road to Return" is 17 months, but the work cycle of three people is much longer than the shooting time of the entire movie, that is, director Rao Xiaozhi, producer Guo Fan, and chief screenwriter Qin Haiyan.
As the creative soul of the entire movie, Rao Xiaozhi, Guo Fan and Qin Haiyan all have personal creative characteristics. For example, Rao Xiaozhi, who amazed the entire film and television industry with a movie " Nameless ", is best at starting with a small person and then landing on Black Humor ; Guo Fan, whose representative work is " Wandering Earth ", wants to say, he wishes to study from his toes to his hair; and screenwriter Qin Haiyan is best at adapting the real story into a script.

The three of them gathered together for a meeting since the establishment of the project of "The Road to Return" and decided to read the prototype of the story, which is the evacuation of overseas Chinese in Libya in 2011. From various reports and news materials at that time, to media interviews and paper records, almost everything that can be found was gathered together, and then from this pile of mountain materials, we restore the thrilling evacuation of overseas Chinese story.
In other words, the original tone of this "Going Back" is documentary and restoration. It is precisely this principle of trying to restore the real story, which makes this movie have a documentary-like texture, which is also the fundamental reason why countless viewers can immerse themselves in the movie.
2: Soul duo: Zhang Yi , Yin Tao
If the director, screenwriter and producer are the skeleton of "The Road to Return", then the actors who make the audience cry, laugh and cry again are the soul of the whole movie.
To ask which character that the audience who watched the movie is the most impressed. Most people may vote for Zong Dawei, played by Zhang Yi without hesitation. Many viewers even believe that if Zhang Yi, who played Zong Dawei, was replaced by other actors, this movie would definitely not be as exciting as it is now. It is no exaggeration to say that within two hours of the movie being played, it will be difficult for the audience to accommodate other people's figures in their eyes whenever there is a scene where Zhang Yi appears.
Taking the most exciting scene, Zong Dawei was threatened by the local rebels. Only by playing roulette games can he have the chance to win the opportunity to lead the trapped compatriots to evacuate. The price of losing is to be shot and die, which means that he wants to bet on Zong Dawei's life. One is a vicious outlaw who rises up, and the other is a diplomat who has no power to fight back.
Zong Dawei was stunned for a moment before standing up to accept the challenge. With his trembling and his subtle reaction to calm down, the audience instantly remembered that this character is not just a diplomat who is responsible for leading his compatriots home safely. At the same time, he is also a father who has never seen his newborn daughter, and an ordinary person who is unable to resist in the face of the threat of death. Zhang Yi's acting skills in this section are enough to be a god!
Another character who would not be "stolen" by Zong Dawei is Bai Wan played by Yin Tao. This character is an executive of an aid company in Africa. After the war broke out, she had just experienced the pain of losing her husband and was about to lead her daughter to retreat with more than 100 Chinese people who were accidentally stranded in the war zone. She had no time to grieve and no chance to hesitate.
If Zhang Yi's acting skills make "The Road Back" like a thrilling storm, then Bai Wu, played by Yin Tao, is like a strong and blooming desert rose, tenacious and powerful.
Three: A duo of tall buildings from the flat ground: Li Miao, Liao Yi
After the release of "The Road to Return", almost all viewers could not believe that the city in the movie, which had strong African characteristics and was destroyed by artillery fire, was completely filmed in China. In order to shoot other movies, at most, they create a scene, while "The Road to Return" actually built a city in order to restore the 1:1 real world.
At the beginning of the film's project, director Rao Xiaozhi found the "ceiling" of domestic art director Li Miao. Originally, Li Miao did not plan to take it. He wanted to create a small border town with a sense of life and history out of thin air within four months. It was so difficult that it was unimaginable, but Rao Xiaozhi also directly "morally kidnapped" the other party: If you don't even accept it, then there will be no second person in China who dares to take this job.
So Li Miao was "forced to Liangshan" with his team. The photographer Liao Mian wrote the traffic lines and their scenes were built wherever they were. In various extreme environments, the chaotic "Nutu Border", the capital "Leptis City", and the "Sebrata City" destroyed by the war, etc. The entire scene was truly like someone living there for the rest of his life.
The script is good, the acting is good, and the scene is real. This "The Road to Return" truly interprets what "scattering is the sky full of stars, and gathering is a ball of fire". I wonder who do you think in front of the screen is the key to the success of this movie?
