Five years ago, "Wolf Warrior 2" set a record for the highest box office in the history of domestic movies. The story of evacuating overseas Chinese in Leng Feng shocked countless Chinese people. Afterwards, evacuation of overseas Chinese in frequently produced excellent works. Now this theme has been brought to the screen again. However, what Ah Huan wants to say this time is different from the previous one, because the one who completed the evacuation of overseas Chinese is no longer a heroic soldier, but a Chinese diplomat in suits and ties. In the trailer of
, the starring Zhang Yi and Wang Junkai is trembling in his heart. The drama tells the story of a war breaking out in Numia, North Africa. Zong Dawei, played by former resident diplomat Zhang Yi, and Cheng Lang, played by Wang Junkai, were ordered to assist in the evacuation of overseas Chinese together. When the mission was successfully completed, he accidentally learned that a group of compatriots were led by Bai Wu, played by Yin Tao, to go to the border evacuation point, so the two gave up their precious opportunity to go home and entered the war zone against the road.
, with bare hands, they led more than 100 people to move forward in the smoke and the wild sand in the sky, fighting wits and courage under the guns of the rebels. In the last 100 kilometers, how should they complete the task?
directed by Rao Xiaozhi and produced by Guo Fan and Wang Hongwei . For the first time, the movie "
In the early stage of creation, the director talked about the reason that made the theme the most touching of himself. "What impressed me the most were the real evacuated diplomats. They are ordinary people in life, fathers, husbands, and sons, but their responsibilities require them to rush to the front line." The producer also said, "The real situation they face is more difficult than what the movie presents, which is difficult for ordinary people to understand." Perhaps it is precisely because of the stories of more diplomats that the appearance of "The Road to Return" is the one that wants everyone to see.
The movie is adapted from real events. In order to achieve real texture and restore the appearance of the event, the director said in the scene layout: "The crew almost traveled all over the country when they were in the scenery." They inspected the closest landforms and weather on the spot, went to the desert, mines, and Honghu to shoot, built an African city 1:1, and even the Arabic logo on the candy paper was restored. When building, they encountered a lot of difficulties, because the local weather was too cold, and the water freezes as soon as it poured out, so it was impossible to construct. They could only use boiling water and cement when laying the foundation, which was very expensive and time-consuming. Not only that, the crew also encountered a mountain torrent unexpectedly, and destroyed the scenery that had been built so hard that they could only start over.
In the script creation stage, the director interviewed many real diplomats and led the crew to read a large number of evacuated reports, extending innovation based on real events, making the plot details more realistic. After watching the movie, the diplomatic staff said, "It's so real. I feel the thrilling behind the scenes through the screen. I'm really worried about them." On the same day, a diplomat who had a real experience of evacuating overseas Chinese said excitedly after watching it, "It's very close to the life of the diplomats. All the scenes are very realistic and restored. Thank you."
On the actor, Zhang Yi would go to the monitor to carefully check every time he finished filming, find out where he didn't do it well, and then try it constantly, using different performance methods to achieve better results. Even his old partner Yin Tao praised him for "as always, treating the show as life." In a scene where Yin Tao was pinched by the rebels, in order to be more realistic, she took the initiative to ask the other party not to be soft-hearted and pinched hard, which resulted in red marks on her neck.
In addition to the two veteran actors, the fledgling Wang Junkai also took it seriously. On the set, he often bent down to pick up handfuls of mud and sand and sprinkled it on his body, and his face was covered with dirt. He said, "This is the most natural makeup and hair." In terms of acting, he improved with his role, and contributed a picture full of tears at the end of the film, and the future is promising.
In this video, even the extras burst into strength.Among the 100-person evacuation groups, almost all the actors came from Rao Xiaozhi's drama troupe. He asked everyone to write biography of the characters and empathize with the characters to make the evacuation group more vivid and three-dimensional. In the scene of walking in the desert, the actors carried more than ten pounds of bags before the filming started, carrying the weight, and started filming again in a state of fatigue, from day to night.
In the film production, the film cooperated in depth with IMAX and was shot using IMAX special. The super large screen, high-resolution picture quality and explosive pictures make the audience immersed in the scene, and they can almost truly feel the thrilling journey of traveling through war and desert.
"Diplomerators are also very ordinary people, but they have missions and responsibilities, and they will burst out with the brilliance of human nature at critical moments." New themes, full and real characters, and the sweat and hardships given by the production team in it are destined to be extraordinary in this film.
"The Road Back" will be officially released on September 30. Perhaps only in the cinema can you experience the thrilling evacuation of the war zone, the thrilling journey of the diplomats on the way back thousands of miles away!
