On the evening of September 29th before, "The Road to Return" started its pre-release. Fortunately, I got the ideal position and watched this movie one step ahead.

Warm reminder: It contains a large number of spoilers.

On September 30, the annual National Day holiday officially started.

Before this, on the evening of September 29, " ,000 Miles Homecoming " started its pre-recorded screening. Fortunately, I got the ideal position and watched this movie one step ahead.

The moment when the easter egg was released, the nervous mood followed the plot and relaxed, I had a very definite idea: I want to brush the second time, and IMAX.

Because there are too many wonderful moments, I haven’t had time to taste it carefully.

I believe that friends who have watched the movie must have this feeling.

And the box office of "The Road to Go" seems to indicate this. When the box office of "The Road to Go" exceeded 100 million during the National Day holiday, the box office of "The Road to Go" had reached 54.36 million, and accounts for half of the total box office of .

What is the best thing about "The Road to Return"?

Why does it beat the other six movies in the National Day holiday? It was predicted by many media that the box office exceeded 2 billion yuan. Why does

make me urge to brush twice?

Today, Asiba talked about this "Way Back" worthy of two-time movie.

1 I really made

As a movie adapted from the real evacuation of overseas Chinese incident, director Rao Xiaozhi and his team suffered.

Before this, Rao Xiaozhi's impression of diplomats was only at the stage of the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the spirit of the correctness.

only suddenly woke up after contacting consular insurance personnel. They are also ordinary people with flesh and blood , and 's respective helpless . Due to different responsibilities, they must let go of their families and go to the battlefield.

, and many consular insurance personnel of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will leave a suicide note for before performing their tasks.

After the director team studied a lot of reportage about evacuation of overseas Chinese, Rao Xiaozhi led the team to make many modifications to many details.

solved the script problem, and the problem that made director Rao Xiaozhi scratch his head the most came. How to shoot

in China so that the audience can believe that this is a story that happened abroad?

In this way, the scenery is particularly important. After carefully selecting

, the director team decided to set up the outdoor scene on the Inner Mongolia border, where there are deserts, mines, and red lakes, which can be used to make the fake real.

In order to ensure the shooting cycle, the outdoor scene must be completed by the end of 2021.

The local winter is particularly cold, and the construction of a border checkpoint alone encounters many problems.

The environment is too cold and the soil is frozen to death. foundation cannot be built ; it will freeze after a while with cement, and can only use hot water and cement...

Interior scene is selected in Qingdao Oriental Film City , Art Setting Group used ,000 people , to 1 to build an African town,

more than 70 African houses, 1,000 people spent four months ,

When coconut tree and palm tree were transported from other places, the local African extras were dumbfounded, thinking that they had returned to China when they woke up.

Because the scenery of this small African town in "The Road to Return" is very good, the director of " Wandering Earth 2" filmed by Qingdao Oriental Film City, Guo Fan , has repeatedly wanted to come here to film.

is also the producer of "The Road to Return". He can still make the decision on the matter of scenery.

script, production intention,

director Rao Xiaozhi once directed " Nameless ", " Assassination of Novelists ", " Crowd of People ",

" Wandering Earth ", Guo Fan, director of

, plus Zhang Yi , Wang Junkai , Yin Tao and other casts,

In fact, "The Way of Return" has already been on four-fold insurance .

2 The plot is tense, no nonsense

In "The Road to Return", the three starring actors essentially determine the direction of the plot.

Zong Dawei:

As the first secretary of the consular protection center , this time he came to Numia to evacuate overseas Chinese His mood was particularly complicated , because at this time his wife Chen Yue was pregnant and was about to give birth.

The couple had been pregnant with a child before this, but unfortunately had a miscarriage when Zong Dawei performed other evacuation tasks, so the arrival of the second baby was very concerned.

There is no way, needs, Zong Dawei must be, and he is willing to go to .

Before going abroad, Zong Dawei had promised Chen Yue to return to China before she gave birth. just didn't expect that this time his work in Numia was not easier than before.

He should have returned to China on the last flight, but he gave the last seat to Taiwanese compatriots , and stayed in Numia, and returned to the embassy with his old friend Zhang Ning (played by Zhang Zixian) the new member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Cheng Lang (played by Wang Junkai).

Chapter Ning is a very reliable person in charge of his work. He soon contacted Zong Dawei with the ship, which can ensure that he returns to China on time to take care of his wife.

However, that night, Zhang Ning was mistakenly shot by the rebels.

Chapter Ning left a arranged evacuation mission, and also discussed waiting for his wife and daughter at the Numia border.

As a brother, Zong Dawei had to take on the task of evacuating overseas Chinese and escorting his good brother's wife and daughter back to China safely. had no time to consider his wife and children far away in Beijing.

This evacuation mission will take the water route, and the destination is the Numia border, and Zhang Ning's wife and daughter are also waiting there.

But this abacus is what Zhang Ning plays . The border approval officer is his college golfer. Arranges dozens of Chinese people to leave the country, which is just a matter of one sentence.

, but Zong Dawei was in a dilemma. First of all, most of the passports of this group of Chinese people were stolen and they could not handle the exit procedures normally; secondly, he did not know the senior official responsible for approval at the border.

In order to make the senior officials nod, Zong Dawei tried his best to and tried to please . He shared the interesting university stories he heard from Zhang Ning with the senior officials, pretending that the two were alumni.

even pretended to be a mysterious saying that local officials had to coup and protect the approval officers from jumping into the window to escape.

, but these tricks were discovered one by one by one.

helpless, Zong Dawei roared and said the sentence in the trailer: You have your bottom line, but my bottom line is to send our people out. Is this wrong?

Zong Dawei's heartfelt words hit the heart of the approval officer, and then he promised hundreds of Chinese people who had no visas and could not prove that they were Chinese to leave the country.

evacuation mission was successfully completed, but the wife and children of good brother Zhang Ning were not on the border. Everyone advised Zong Dawei to have no choice but to do anything in this situation.

At this time, it was tantamount to looking for them in the main urban area to find them in a haystack . Moreover, shells flew around in the main urban area. To put it bluntly, there is no difference between and dying.

After consideration, reason overcame sensibility. Zong Dawei chose to leave the country and board the bus, preparing to return to China to take care of his wife and have children.

When he learned that the rebels in the main urban area began to kill people, Zong Dawei entered Numia again.

This time, he still defeated his sentimentality rationally because he didn't go back, and the mother and daughter were very likely to not survive.

It is particularly difficult to find two people from a city without communication facilities.

Moreover, there are many levels and rebels in the main urban area. Sometimes, after getting off the car and saying a word, both sides will fight.

During this period, Zong Dawei and his group almost died in the fire. Fortunately, after they woke up in a coma, they found an abandoned factory from the mahjong necklaces on several children as clues.

Here, they found Zhang Ning's wife Bai Hu (played by Yin Tao) and daughter.

In addition, there are more than a hundred Chinese people. These Chinese people are workers under Zhang Ning, who are managed by Bai Hu in an orderly manner and are waiting for rescue.

It is too difficult to retreat from the war-torn main urban area to a safe area without transportation.

More than one hundred people can only walk, planning for food and water, and avoiding the rebels who will start conflicts at any time.

Over time, there are always people who have trouble with . , such as Wang Xun , Liu Minghui , which also laid the groundwork for Zong Dawei and Bai Huan to be captured by the rebels.

And one of the most reflects Zhang Yi's acting skills in the whole film was the few minutes of confrontation with the brigade commander of the rebel Railway Brigade.

Personally think the most classic line is: If you kill us, my country will make you pay your blood debts!

What tests Zhang Yi's acting skills the most is the part when he was forced to bet on guns by the rebels' investment.

Although Zong Dawei has experienced earthquakes, coups, and plagues, he faces the threat of death . As a flesh-and-blood person, he will also be timid and afraid of death.

But if he doesn't gamble, a friend will die. Once the gun is fired, no matter whether he is dead or alive, his friend will survive.

Even if revolver has only one bullet in , its survival rate is 80%.

wanted to save a friend, but hesitated. His wife was still unborn at home. Such a complicated mood needs to be interpreted in just a few seconds. Zhang Yi did it.

And this is just an appetizer, and the more amazing acting skills are still coming. I think it can be compared with the acting skills of Deng Chao who was euthanized in " Scarlet Sun ". At the end of the video, more than 100 people were safely escorted back to the motherland, but halfway through the border, the brigade commander of the rebel railway brigade brought his younger brother to call him.

Here, Zong Dawei was threatened by his life again in order to save Zhang Ning and Bai Huan's daughter.

This segment must be watched in the theater. The continuous reversal plot, coupled with Zhang Yi's actor-level acting skills, is the most exciting scene in the whole film.

Cheng Lang:

In order to make the plot more reasonable, There is a decent character in many movies to mess with . Cheng Lang played by Wang Junkai plays a role in changing the plot direction.

As a new member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, chenglang was sent to Numia to assist Zong Dawei in evacuation of overseas Chinese.

This person has a characteristic that is not a shortcoming. is upright and stubborn. He has not been spurred by society at a young age. Therefore, he sneered at some of Zong Dawei's actions when performing his mission.

When the embassy issued a temporary evacuation mission, Cheng Lang took the initiative to sign up, and it can be seen from this that he has a strong sense of responsibility.

Originally, he was in the same group as Zhang Ning to carry out the evacuation mission. After Zhang Ning unfortunately passed away, he became Zong Dawei's assistant again.

As an assistant, Chenglang almost played soybean in the first half of the movie . Although there are many shots, there are no lines.

His highlight moments mainly focus on finding Bai Wu.

After finding Bai Hua and hundreds of workers, Zong Dawei first thought about how to lead his compatriots out of the main battlefield in , and where to retreat is also a question.

comprehensively considering it, Zong Dawei planned to take his compatriots to the Dilat oil refinery dozens of kilometers away, because this is a treasure in the eyes of the rebels and government forces, and there will be no war.

In order to unify actions and not dispel everyone's enthusiasm, Zong Dawei did not tell everyone that "if you can't contact the embassy, ​​the refinery may not necessarily have rescue."

instead hid it from everyone, saying that there would be an embassy there to respond.

Now Cheng Lang quit. He stubbornly believed that he must tell everyone the truth, otherwise he was a fraud.

So before evacuation, Cheng Lang stood opposite Zong Dawei, and the two often argued over this matter.

Finally, a few days later, Cheng Lang couldn't hold it in, and the negotiations between the two happened to be heard by Liu Minghui (played by Wang Xun).

Liu Minghui returned to China with a heart of mind. He always believed that the embassy would pick them up at the refinery to return to China at the border.

This news was a bolt from the blue for Liu Minghui, so he ran away silently with a few "like-minded" workers.

Zong Dawei, as an diplomat, has the responsibility and obligation to recover Liu Minghui, so he and Cheng Langbing divided into two groups and agreed to meet at the oil refinery.

This also led to an accident on the way to find Liu Minghui, and he performed an actor-level acting.

And in the final border scene, Cheng Lang also relied on his wit to save Zong Dawei's life.

Bai Hua:

In comparison, the role of Bai Hua played by Yin Tao is not very important. Bai Hua's existence is more to connect several key nodes.

When Bai Huan heard that her husband Zhang Ning had passed away, her performance was not as collapsed as she imagined. Instead, after a brief sadness, she joined the evacuation work firmly.

3 movie realistic, I admire the corpse that dared to shoot

hanging up, civilians whose legs were blown off, and the baby who was crying on the road just died.

Like similar movies, "The Road to Return" shows us the cruelty of war, which brings more intense sensory stimulation to the audience on the big screen.

The movie begins, Zong Dawei and his group drive into the city. When Chinese passport is on, the government army opens the floodgates and releases. This also reflects the importance of diplomacy and strength of the major power. The lens of

is elongated, and several corpses hanging up not far away make this red passport look particularly precious.

After Zong Dawei and Bai Hun and others were captured by the rebel brigade commander, Zong Dawei said, "If you kill us, my country will make you pay your blood debts!" ​​The rebel brigade commander was shocked, and

further reflects the strength of the motherland.

As a movie with the theme of evacuation of overseas Chinese, "The Way to Return" has many different aspects, which are more realistic than similar movies.

First point, sometimes, Chinese passports are not universal:

After entering the war zone of Numia, Cheng Lang kept recording the experiences of people on the street with a camera, and his behavior also angered the government army, so the whole car was asked to get off the car by soldiers holding guns.

When Zong Dawei and others got off the car, they immediately showed their Chinese passport, saying that they were Chinese and hoped to be compatible.

However, Cheng Lang's camera was confiscated by the officials, and several people also faced an investigation under control. It turned out that the official in charge was corrupt, and Zong Dawei solved the matter with hundreds of dollars.

Second point, sometimes, saying that you are Chinese cannot solve all problems:

Zong Dawei and Cheng Lang were attacked by rebels during the evacuation of the overseas Chinese.

This scene reminds me of the scene in "Wolf Warrior". Wu Jing raised the national flag and made the war zone cease fire and let Wu Jing pass through.

But with the same problem, "The Road to Return" is not as ideally filmed.

When Zong Dawei used the speaker to express his identity: We are Chinese civilians! hour. The picture of

was given to the rebel leader, and he told his men: Don’t shoot, they are civilians.

The third point is, no need to do anything sensational:

After Zong Dawei and Bai Hua and his group escaped from the rebels' nest, they finally reunited with the Chinese people led by Cheng Lang.

Bai Hua's daughter finally looked forward to her mother. She ran straight towards her mother with her tired body.

ran towards her daughter who was thinking about her at night. Bai Hua also walked quickly over and walked over. At this time, the camera was far away.

Just as I was about to shed tears, the director did not give the mother and daughter a close-up shot, saying some tear-jerking remarks such as "Mom, I thought you would never come back."

4 Wang Junkai put down his idol burden, Zhang Yi Yin Tao made his first

Zhang Yi's acting skills supported the whole film without any surprise. Of course, the wonderful performances of Yin Tao, Li Xuejian , Cheng Taishen , Zhang Zixian, Wang Xun and others also improved the quality of the entire movie.

What surprised me the most was Wang Junkai's professionalism . As a graduate of Beijing Film Academy 017, he did not embarrass his alma mater.

In April this year, the online drama " Rebirth Gate " co-starred by Wang Junkai and Zhang Yi was released. Not long ago, "Broken Bridge" starring Fan Wei and Ma Sichun and Ma Sichun has given many people a new understanding of this new actor.

And in "The Road to Return", Wang Junkai directly removed his idol burden. In a scene after being shot and unconscious, he can clearly see his nose hair . If the cinema can press the pause button, I guess I can even count a few.

This also shows that Wang Junkai has made up his mind to compete with the team member Yi Yang Qianxi .

After all, from now on, the two have the same acting path, and there will definitely be some friction in resources in the future.

I believe that no need to say much about the acting skills of Zhang Yi and Yin Tao, everyone agrees with it.

Since the cooperation between " Chicken Feathers Flying to the Sky " in 2017, this is the first time that the two of them have collaborated on the big screen with after 5 years.

Zhang Yi's magical acting skills played a crucial role in the end of the film review, and Yin Tao's white face and horrified expression also sublimate the entire scene.

And what method did they use to connect with the embassy in the refinery?

How did you take more than 100 Chinese people, including the elderly, weak, sick and disabled, for 13 days?

Why did Zong Dawei, played by Zhang Yi and Bai Wu, played by Yin Tao, be captured by the rebels, and how did they escape?

Is it really that easy for the last batch of people to leave the country?

Did Zong Dawei’s wife give birth successfully?

What exactly happened during this period?

This is a movie worth watching. Director Rao Xiaozhi dares to shoot the most realistic things . does not force tearjer . Everything is based on reality first. It has not been released in such a movie for too long.

combined with the passionate interpretation of Zhang Yi, Yin Tao, Wang Xun and others, the audience never jumped out of the plot and thought about returning to the theater during the whole show.

In other words, this is a movie that has no urine content throughout the whole process.
