first emphasizes one thing. Before the movie is released and before the TV series is broadcast, it is normal to appropriately delete some shots. There are various reasons, some are because of timeout, some are because of the delayed plot, and some are because of the overwhelming popularity.
Simply put, making movies is like flower arrangement. It doesn’t just put the shots together in order, and they still need to be trimmed later.
"0,000 Miles Journey " was released, and the crew and the actors released a lot of video materials, some of which were not included in the main film. This article has compiled five more obvious deleted clips to share with the audience who follow this movie.
1. National anthem and national flag leads compatriots
This clip appears in the official promotional video of the crew of "0,000 miles home ". The Chinese Embassy in Numia sent Zong Dawei and Cheng Lang to the border between Numia and Tulis with the help of local driver Vadir to search for trapped compatriots.
After the car Zong Dawei and Cheng Lang was riding at the border, because there were too many stranded people at the border, it was difficult to quickly gather all stranded compatriots, so Cheng Lang muttered: It would be great if there was a horn.
Zong Dawei had an idea. He took out his mobile phone and connected it to the car audio to the maximum playback of " March ", and then opened the car door to let the sound go. As a diplomat, it should be a routine operation to store the national anthem in his mobile phone.
The national anthem sounded, and the compatriots around immediately rushed over like a tide. Cheng Lang took out the five-star red flag and inserted it into the car. The compatriots gathered under the national flag to cheer. In the moment of despair, they finally found the national anthem and the national flag. They felt the sense of security from the motherland. At that moment, many people shed tears on the spot. It's a pity that the clip of
was cut off later. Some netizens think that it may be because the director is worried that it is not very appropriate to fill the atmosphere at the beginning of the film. The author believes that this statement is quite reasonable.
2. Liu Minghui was abused by the rebels
Zong Dawei and Cheng Lang had a debate on whether to tell everyone that Dilite might not necessarily have rescued. Liu Minghui, played by Wang Xun, accidentally heard it, and then he led a small number of people to leave the large army on their own and look for other ways out.
Zong Dawei, Bai Hun and Wadir found Liu Minghui and others, but because several workers were found by the rebels while fetching water, they were arrested. In the rebel camp, Liu Minghui was abused by the rebels.
The rebels asked Liu Minghui to eat the food on the plate (there should be something that cannot be eaten). Liu Minghui refused to eat it, so the rebels pulled Liu Minghui's wife aside and beat him. In order to save his wife, Liu Minghui knelt on the ground and stuffed the things on the plate into his mouth.
rebel leader stepped forward with a grin, first rubbed the things on Liu Minghui's face, and then knocked him to the ground with another punch.
After Liu Minghui was defeated, the director shouted, and Emil, who played the second leader of the rebels, immediately pulled Wang Xun up and expressed his admiration for his performance. The two became good friends and then filmed a short video together. The plot of
is quite heart-wrenching. Director Rao Xiaozhi was filled with tears when he watched behind the monitor. Perhaps it was because the picture was too heart-wrenching. Considering the audience's feelings, this plot was cut off later.
Wang Xun generously said in an interview: As long as he acts with sincerity, he will have no regrets even if he does not appear in the end (in the movie).
It is worth mentioning that although Liu Minghui's character is small, Wang Xun has indeed done a lot of detailed work. For example, his equipment is prepared according to long journeys, and he has everything he needs to eat, drink, and use, and he has also put a lot of effort into it. Although not necessarily every audience can notice these details, we still have to praise it. This is the spirit of striving for excellence.
3. Desert trek
When Zong Dawei took Wadir and Bai Wu to find Liu Minghui and others, the remaining more than 100 people were all led by the young Cheng Lang. Did Cheng Lang, who had always insisted on telling everyone the truth, said that Dilit might not necessarily have rescued?
Although it is not shown in the movie, judging from the trailer footage released by "The Road to Return", Cheng Lang may have really said that it has brought great psychological pressure to the large army of more than 100 people. Some players shouted, "Don't leave, if we leave, we will die." This shows that the team has indeed suffered from disintegration and it is very likely that the water will be cut off.
Perhaps it was precisely because of the water cut and despair that when they arrived at Dilitte to discover the Embassy's convoy, everyone was as excited as if they were reborn. Some team members rushed to the pure water in the first time, proving that their water cut was quite serious.
When I watched the movie, I felt that there were few scenes in the desert. It seemed that the crew had filmed a lot, but for the connection between the plot and the length of the movie, some of them were cut out. For example, Zong Dawei insisted on not telling the truth and leading everyone to go all the way. This practice is the right choice in a desperate situation. If Cheng Lang still violated Zong Dawei's order later, although the whole body was still rescued, both for Zong Dawei and Cheng Lang, it will have certain damage to the establishment of his character, so it is understandable to cut it out.
4. Hassan was betrayed by his subordinates
Zong Dawei and border officer Hassan "mushrooms" for a long time. Once, a team of military vehicles came to the Border Management Office in the middle of the night. Zong Dawei thought it was a rebel, so he quickly went to call Hassan to evacuate and helped Hassan block the office door.
As a result, Hassan opened the door and the leading officer came in. It was Hassan's old subordinate Kamal. He led the team to reinforce Hassan, which was a false alarm.
ended with the video, the rebels suddenly attacked the border and quickly entered the border management office. The border officer Hassan was hanged on the national gate of Numia. This scene made many viewers feel uncomfortable. At the same time, some viewers were puzzled. Doesn’t Hassan have another subordinate, Kamal? What about others? Where is the troops he brought? Why was Hassan so easily captured and killed by the rebels?
According to the short video information released by Emil, the second leader of the rebels, we learn that when the rebels attacked the Border Management Office, Kamar, Hassan's old subordinate, turned against him. He betrayed Hassan and handed Hassan over to the rebels. This play of
is probably cut off due to the length of time, but if you think about it carefully, it is actually useful. Hassan's old subordinate Kamal surrendered to the rebels easily and even betrayed his old commander. It can be seen that the rebels were in full swing at the time.
In order to uphold his principles, Hassan did not surrender like Kamal, and was unfortunately killed by the rebels, which further reflects the noble character of Hassan, the "goalkeeper".
5. Mufta was shot dead by his subordinates
This is a widely circulated video. The rebel leader Mufta was shot dead by the second rebel leader Saleh in public, but in the main film, this scene was also cut.
Some viewers didn't understand why the rebels wanted to kill their leaders. In fact, this is the consequence of Mufta cheating in Russian roulette.
From the plot of "The Road Back", we can see that Mufta is a person who likes to engage in Russian roulette very much, and he wins every time he bets. His soldiers have long been accustomed to it and are not worried that his leader will die suddenly.
We know that the probability of death in Russian roulette is still quite high, especially the second-to-last shot, which is already a 50% mortality rate. Mufta often bets but never loses, which will bring a halo to his subordinates: "God and Mufta are with him." Their leaders are blessed by God, so the rebels devoted themselves to following Mufta.
Of course, in fact, there is no bullet in Mufta's gun, and he will not lose no matter how he plays it. On the contrary, his opponents do not know that there is no bullet in the gun, which will cause them to admit defeat or do irrational behavior. For example, Wadir was killed on the spot because he pointed the gun at Mufta.
When the second leader of the rebel Saleh discovered that Mufta's unbeaten roulette secret was cheating, his trust in Mufta immediately collapsed. Whether it was because of fooling his subordinates or fooling the gods, he deserved to die, so Saleh shot Mufta dead on the spot.
Why did you cut this scene? The author estimates that it may be because Mufta's death or not actually has nothing to do with the theme of "The Road to Return". If he has too many scenes, it will bring the effect of overshadowing the main point, so this scene was also cut.
In summary, the five clips deleted in "The Road to Return" have relevant reasons, and the rhythm and theme of the movie are not affected after the deletion. Therefore, we just need to take a look at the behind-the-scenes footage of the movie shooting. There is no need to feel regretful about this. The most perfect shot is already in the film.
