Film market finally showed up a well-known and popular movie. Last weekend, the drama "Handle Life Events " starring Zhu Yilong was released. The total box office exceeded 300 million yuan after its release, ranking among the top ten films released in 2022, and became the highest-grossing domestic film since this year's Spring Festival. As of 11:00 on June 28, the film had a Douban score of 7.5 points, and Taopiaopiao and Maoyan scored 9.6 points, with a good reputation. As the opening work of the summer season, "The Great Events in Life" has been completed.
Zhu Yilong's transformation is the biggest selling point of the film. Judging from the audience's comments, people still mixed praises and criticize the plot of the film, but generally affirm Zhu Yilong's acting skills. As a former traffic star, Zhu Yilong's transformation has also become.
said death, and even life
This is a typical story about redemption. Mo Sanmei, who was sent to prison for her girlfriend's fight, was dumped by her girlfriend after she was released from prison. While his father wanted to hand over the funeral shop at home to him, he thought he would not be able to do anything, and Mo Sanmei himself had no interest in the family career. Until one day, a "Little Nezha" holding an red tassel gun broke into his store and asked where his grandmother was pulled away by his funeral car, and his life began to turn from then on. In the following days, Mo Sanmei adopted this headache-inducing but pitiful "Little Nezha" due to various accidents, and this girl named Wu Xiaowen gradually became the most important person in his life.
in various film works, there are many similar two-way redemption stories. The characteristic of "The Great Events in Life" is that its story packaging chooses the Chinese folk funeral industry. Liu Jiangjiang, the director and screenwriter who made the first film, was the second master who was the village "having a big deal" (referring to the news of the funeral, the organizer of the folk funeral), and his uncle was a carpenter who was good at coffin. Therefore, he had different contact and insights about "big things in life" from an early age than ordinary children. He said that when he grew up, he gradually realized that "everything he did at the funeral was actually healing the living." Folk funeral rituals are often criticized for being cumbersome, but he found that "behind the seemingly cumbersome rituals, there is such a romantic affection." So, in the early spring of 2019, he began to write the script of "The Great Events in Life".
escorts Liu Jiangjiang's film debut with Han Yan , who once filmed "Get out!" Two movies with the theme of death, "Mr. Tumor" and "Handle You with a Little Red Flower" and "Handle 4" . Judging from the Douban ratings, Liu Jiangjiang's "The Big Events in Life" is even slightly higher than Han Yan's two works. Behind this should be the credit of the story based on the creator's real life experience. In "The Great Events in Life", Mo Sanmei shows all aspects of the work of a folk funeralist. In one scene where his father took him to renovate his face and body with his ex-girlfriend, who died in a car accident, reminded many viewers of the Japanese movie " Devourer " which was released in China.
makes people cry and laugh
One is the energetic "Little Nezha" and the other is the loser with a slouching eyebrows. The relationship between these two is full of dramatic tension in terms of setting. How did "Little Nezha" arouse Mo Sanmei's passion for career and even life? This process tests the skills of the script creator. In this regard, Liu Jiangjiang's choice was to "lift the weight as lightly", and he lifted up this originally heavy story in a light comedy way. The "fight" between the two protagonists is mostly a farce that makes people laugh, but there is also warmth interspersed between them. For example, Wu Xiaowen's electronic watch was broken, and she was very sad because it hid all the WeChat voices left to her by her grandmother during her lifetime. Mo Sanmei, who seemed to be unaware of gentleness, tried her best to do this, and finally found a master of technology to repair the voice, and sewed the small device with the voice of Wu Xiaowen hidden in the voice of her doll into the tail of her doll. In response, many viewers said: "I cried while laughing, and I cried again and again..."
However, judging from the audience's feedback, Wu Xiaowen's biological mother was arranged in the second half of the film, or a failure that was superfluous.The appearance of this character has brought the "temporary father-daughter relationship" between Mo Sanmei and Wu Xiaowen to a climax of being inseparable, and has also contributed the greatest sensational point of the whole film "Mo Sanmei chases a car in the rain", but from the perspective of the drama, it is inevitable to fall into clichés. Finally, Mo Sanmei invited Wu Xiaowen's biological mother to join the funeral shop and became a member of the "big family", which made some viewers feel "deliberate" and "inexplicable". The "last question" left by Mo Sanmei's father before his death in
is a brilliant work recognized by many viewers. The father, who arranged a decent funeral for countless people, designated his ashes to be placed in an empty plastic jar of middle-aged and elderly milk powder . As for what ceremony to be buried, he did not tell his son. Finally, Mo Sanmei thought of a way to put her ashes into the fireworks and put them in the sky. This echoes Wu Xiaowen's innocent view that Mo Sanmei's profession is "a person who grows stars", and also allows Mo Sanmei and his father to completely reconcile at the moment when the fireworks bloom brilliantly in the night sky.
Adults are good, and children are good.
Zhu Yilong has filmed many TV works over the years. He plays the "little master" in " Knows or Not Knows or Not, Not Knows or Not, Red and Thin ", and plays the revolutionary Lin Nansheng who abandons darkness and turns to light in " Rebel ". Today, "The Great Events in Life" may become its representative work of the film. In the audience's evaluation of the film, many people pointed out that its performance made them "shortly forget Zhu Yilong himself."
-inch head, gold chain, floral shirt, big shorts, and slightly camel-shaped body, Zhu Yilong first distinguished Mo Sanmei from her clean, upright and handsome idol-like role in the past from her appearance. But it is not just to make the actors "get dirty and ugly", but to make breakthroughs based on their certain compatibility with the role. This is the key to the ultimate success of the role of Mo Sanmei in "The Great Events in Life". Some viewers pointed out that during the film, they were moved by Zhu Yilong's "dog eyes" many times. Having a pair of "talking eyes" is indeed Zhu Yilong's strength, and his melancholy eyes can also contrast with Mo Sanmei's "Jianghu Man".
must admit that Zhu Yilong's opponent's outstanding actor is also one of the important factors in which he can perform his acting skills this time. Born in 2013, Yang En is only 9 years old this year, but she was discovered as an actor when she was 4 years old. She has starred in CCTV's legal column drama "Finally Find You" and the art short film "Far Away". She is a genius young actor. But she is a child after all, and Zhu Yilong once described that long-term encounters with children were his biggest challenge this time. The final method he found was to not distinguish between inside and outside the play, and his attitude towards Yang Enyou was always like Mo Sanmei and Wu Xiaowen in the film, so as to avoid the possible sense of character separation. In the
film, Zhu Yilong had many crying scenes. Some viewers pointed out that the crying scene showed many levels: after leaving his father, he cried with anger and regret; when he decided to send Xiaowen back to her biological mother, but after Xiaowen called him "Dad" for the first time, he cried with sadness and joy; after the "father and daughter" met again, he cried with loss and regained.

[Audience Review]
Fireworks are brilliant, and there is love in the world
Mocha: moved by Xiaowen and the third brother's halfway father and daughter, moved by the funeral master's profession to protect the decent meaning of the deceased, and attracted by a group of small people who are so ordinary that they are so ordinary that they are full of fireworks. Laughing and scolding, the world is full of fireworks, and there are emotions in the world! I cried while laughing, and I cried again... I was about to make two or three swipes, and the role of Mo Sanmei, played by Zhu Yilong, made me briefly forget Zhu Yilong himself. The third brother's handsomeness and wildness are awesome.
is secretly enchanting: birth, old age, sickness and death are both major events in life, but in this story of life towards death, the bond of family affection is untied by the strong dialect and the subtle tenderness, releasing a mess, and deconstructing the spiritual belt that is firmly tied up in the bones of Easterners. Also: Zhu Yilong is really bright, and that kind of performance that is full of movies is angry and vigorous.
Wawa: I have to say that this book is really suitable for Zhu Yilong, who is both slutty and warm, and makes people forget all the roles he has played for a short time. The film is also a rare funeral theme. The laughs are not vulgar and the tears are not sensational. In addition, the rhythm is well grasped. Wuhan dialect has its own market aura. It does not emphasize the "heavyness" of life and death, but instead feels the "lightness" of living in the present.
too many jokes, the ending collapsed
Jia Xiangdi: All the actors' acting skills are online. The director wants to express a lot, and I don’t think there is any need to add some plots. It is qualified as a commercial film.
Black Sugar Pearl Grandma Tea: 0.5 points to Zhu Yilong, 1.5 points to Yang Enyou. The actor's performance is not to be said, but it seems that only the actor's performance can be mentioned and said. A family film wearing funeral skin, selling dog meat with sheep's head. The plot is driven by no reason for conflict. I feel that the characters are all here to pass the level. After passing the level, then going into the next level... In the end, the mother came out and the whole game collapsed. The plot that was not very good in the previous one was in vain!
leaves no trace: barely Samsung, a movie with a very strange structure, maybe because of the market consideration, the director has implanted many entertainment elements into the heavy subject matter, resulting in lack of sensationality and funnyness. It can be seen that the director usually accumulates a lot of materials, and movies composed of reliable materials are destined to lack continuity at the emotional level. The so-called laughter requires the plot or character to promote it, rather than just relying on jokes. Photography keeps giving Zhu Yilong a close-up of his eyes, but this is the cruel part. His eyes are too clean and he can't see any stories.
