The film is also the fourth largest movie in the box office in 2022, the fourth movie in 2022 exceeded 1 billion, and the 96th movie in the history of Chinese films exceeded 1 billion. If you want to talk about the biggest dark horse in this summer movie, "The Big Events in Life" deserves it. Director and screenwriter Liu Jiangjiang focuses on the funeralist group, telling the story of Mo Sanmei (played by Zhu Yilong) who came out of prison and an unexpected encounter with the "naughty child" Xiaowen (Yang Enyou). The two strangers gradually get along with father-daughter-like emotions, learning the meaning of life and death together, and a kind of warmth of human nature slowly overflows. The reason why "The Great Events in Life" is well-known is because it is covered with a funeral cloak, and essentially tells the family story that can most empathize with the audience.
In recent years, from " Give You a Little Red Flower " to "Hello, Li Huanying " to "Big Events in Life", films focusing on family emotions have achieved good box office results and reputation. This type of film wins in a core ability, which is to know how to use a good story to hit the audience's tears. "The Big Events in Life" broke through the siege and injected a shot of augmented energy into the recovering film market.
