In a simple bungalow, a man rubbed rosary with his hands and muttered a few words. Everyone thought that this was a physiotherapist or masseur who was treating patients.

In a simple bungalow, a man rubbed rosary with his hands and muttered a few words. After the same simple ceremony, he began to "work".

looks like a craftsman and a craftsman. He straightens other people's fingers one by one,

Then he heats up the joints with a hot towel and moves slowly, so that the lying old man looks at ease and peaceful.

Everyone thought that this was a physiotherapist or masseur who was treating patients.

But in fact, he was facing a corpse that had long been stiff.

The reason why this process is to give the deceased people the greatest dignity and dignity.

Everyone should know this man, Zhu Yilong . These shots are from the newly released movie " Life Events ".

Thinking of the name "Zhu Yilong", it may be difficult for you to associate it with the profession of embalmer .

He is a professor in " Soul-Super ", the young master in "Knowing or Not", Qi Heng , famous for his gentle and handsome appearance, his role in his early years, a handsome young man in Yishui'er.

How come an actor who takes the idol route becomes a bearded coffin carryr?

Will Zhu Yilong succeed in a special theme movie like "The Great Events in Life"?

After watching the video, Brother Pi wanted to talk to everyone, so we might as well start with the story.

1, the irritable uncle + the ghost loli, this combination makes people shine

Wuhan, the streets and alleys of the city, and a street often shuttles through it.

His name is Mo Sanmei (played by Zhu Yilong). Because he hates the name "Three Sisters", he calls himself "Three Brothers".

He drove a small van, with a buzz cut, a cigarette in his ears, and a gold chain.

Wearing a floral shirt, he doesn't look like a good person.

In fact, in traditional cognition, this is indeed the case.

He was sentenced to a prison for fighting for his girlfriend and was sentenced to prison for several months.

Three brothers and sisters in the family, the second brother died young, the mother died early, and the father was seriously ill, so he was taken care of by his elder sister.

The third brother's family has been in funeral. Not only that, the old father once had the business of catching corpses in Yangtze River .

The old man always hopes that his son will inherit his father's business and let him inherit his "going to heaven" funeral shop, but from the bottom of his heart, the third brother never wanted to truly become a funeral practitioner. But for the sake of his father's store's house, he had to bring his good friends Wang Jianren (played by Wang Ge) and Yin Baixue (played by Liu Lu) to temporarily deal with his father's life.

All of this was broken by an ordinary job.

has a single job, and he comes to the door to tidy up his face for an old lady. Unexpectedly, in the closet, there are eyes staring at his every move.

The little girl is named Wu Xiaowen (Yang En You decoration), and she is the granddaughter of the old lady.

She was combed with two small hairs, carrying a tiger cloth bag, holding an red tassel gun , looking very much like a little Nezha.

In her perception, grandma was taken away by the man in front of her in a black box.

So, the third brother was relied on by Xiaowen.

"Give me back my grandmother, give me back my grandmother!"

In order to find his grandmother, Xiaowen not only pestered her all the way to heaven, but also broke into the life of his third brother.

Xiaowen has no biological parents. Apart from grandma, there is only uncle.

But I met my evil aunt. In order to earn some child support, the third brother agreed to take Xiaowen in for a few days.

But he didn't expect that although the little girl was named "Xiaowen", her personality was very terrifying.

In order to get back her grandmother, she not only fists and kicks the third brother, but also

will also use her own red tassel gun at any time.

made a big fuss in the funeral home and was almost sent to the crematorium. After causing countless troubles, the third brother confirmed that Xiaowen was his "broom star".

One day, the third brother finally couldn't bear it anymore and told Xiaowen the cruel truth: her grandmother is dead and can never come back.

Facing the chimney with white smoke coming out, Xiaowen, who had never had a mature understanding of death, finally knew what "death" means.

Looking at the crying Xiaowen, the softness under the hard shell of the third brother was instantly hooked out.

For the first time he felt that he was too cruel to this little girl. It was also at that moment that the third brother made up his mind to treat this little girl who had a connection with her due to death.

is an oil mixer mixed in the market,

is a little loli with no father or mother,

has intersection because of the special industry of "fury", and has also brought a shot of a strong shot for the Chinese film market that has been sluggish for a long time.

Why? Pige believes that there are three reasons:

First of all, "Funeral Industry" is a rare and special subject. Chinese people are always secretive about specific funerals and deaths. " Funeral " is generally unwilling to be mentioned, and funeral practitioners are also considered to be "making money from dead people" and "unlucky".

Under such a social consensus background, finding a clear incision and using comedy and story to show the mental path and growth of funeral practitioners is an innovation for the Chinese film industry.

Secondly, "The Great Events in Life" is not China's "The Devourer" and "White Rabbit Candy". It has the genes of our traditional funeral culture, and there are countless displays of funeral customs. Especially its clever fusion of tragedy and comedy is fascinating.

Third, the combination of uncle and loli is no longer new. From " The Killer Is Not Cold " to "Little Lolita" and from "Lolita" to "Fruit Hard Candy", there are many matches of loli.

And "The Big Events in Life" undoubtedly uses the best way Chinese filmmakers have produced a special story that makes people sad and joyful.

Douban's four-star and five-star are all proving the uniqueness of this movie.

And all of this is related to the two starring actors.

2. Zhu Yilong's roughness and Yang En's spirit make the movie have sufficient chemical reactions

stubble gold chain, buzz-headed and big shorts. This is not the first time Brother Pi has seen Zhu Yilong become a second-hand man.

Before, in " Peak Explosion ", he was soaked in ice water and filming again and again. Brother Pi is still vivid in his mind.

If the role of Hong Yizhou still retains the "handsome" and "free and carefree" of idol actors, then Mo Sanmei is the complete breakup between Zhu Yilong and Hua Meinan, and it is also the beginning of his true transformation into a powerful actor.

Shave off your long hair, kick the board and drag it, keep stubble, learn to smoke, walk twice and three times...

Back to his hometown in Wuhan to film, Zhu Yilong looked for the shadow of the "third brother" in the play from every detail of his life.

When he went to the funeral home, he met a man who looked like a third-year-old, with short hair, sunglasses, leaning against the back of the seat, and making a voice.

Zhu Yilong said that the specific image of the third brother suddenly appeared in his heart.

The feeling of fireworks was found like this.

Han Yan said that since then, all staff no longer called him "Zhu Yilong", but called him "third brother".

This fireworks are all right, how does Zhu Yilong show it? Once the film appears, it is enough to leave a deep impression.

drive to work, get off the car and spit in the green belt first.

Along the way, he put the cigarette in his mouth with a familiar face and greeted the neighbors.

The cigarette was not hot, so I picked up the paper money lit in someone else's burning paper basin, and accidentally burned my hand.

car drove at the door of the wedding store and stopped, and the boss's wife asked her to stop a little further.

"I won't!"

Use the collar of the shirt to wipe the mouth, and you never need to look directly at people.

Especially when his family suspected that he was stealing something dead, he took off his top and pants without saying a word to make someone search.

A set of smooth combination shots, some small actions and trivial things that are very common in life, the character "Lao San" who is in the oil and gas in the oil has appeared on the screen.

Spitting is his carelessness. Picking up paper money and lighting cigarettes means that he has no taboos in funerals. The argument with the population shows his strong personality, and looking at people with a squint means his arrogant attitude.

The four tags: prisoner, gangster, funeral practitioner, stubborn donkey, immediately gave the audience a very specific understanding of the "roughness" of the third child.

In addition, there are also details such as chopsticks referring to people and whispering big mouths. Under Zhu Yilong's skillful and natural performance, plus a sip of Wuhan dialect is pure and authentic, especially when the sentence "I'm a slogan" is released, the fireworks are brought out.

In fact, the third brother is also a miserable person.

Everyone died. Because his girlfriend was in prison, she was cuckolded after she was released from prison. She was not recognized by her father and had no career... The rough appearance was his protective color. Under the hard shell, his heart was actually very soft.

This polarized reversal personality change is also attributed to the young actor Yang Enyou.

It is no exaggeration to say that Yang En is one of the most aurasy little actors Pige has seen so far.

She and the third brother are actually the same kind of person. She has no father or mother and depends on each other for life. She longs to be loved and afraid of being hurt, so she often dresses up as "Little Nezha" and keeps her mouth shut.

In fact, deep down in her heart, she was as soft as the third child. This softness was gradually exposed in the head-on battle with the third child.

When Zhu Yilong and Yang En were playing again, there was always the love and warmth of the middle-aged and old father in his eyes.

There are two scenes that impressed Pi Ge the most, and they are also the two biggest tear points in the film.

The first scene was in the crematorium. The third brother told Xiaowen that grandma could not come back.

Yang En's crying scene suddenly broke out, just like a person's only hope in his heart was wiped out with one foot, and he felt a sense of tender despair.

Look at Zhu Yilong's eyes again. Although he was angry and determined, he was hesitant and pity. This is the key to the change in the third brother's attitude towards Xiaowen.

The second scene was to comfort Xiaowen. The third brother told him that his grandmother turned into a star. As a result, late at night, Xiaowen really got up and looked at the starry sky and wiped her tears.

"Do I never see my grandmother again?" Xiaowen's words completely shattered the third child's shell and hit the softest part of the audience's heart.

The lie of goodness has formed life and death , which connects the souls of loli and rough men, and at the same time breaks the dimensional wall, giving the gentlest background of family affection in "The Great Events in Life".

Pige was surprised by Zhu Yilong's transformation, and was also happy about the chemical reaction between Zhu Yilong and Yang Enyou.

Because it has been a long time since I saw this kind of warm expression and warm scene in domestic movies.

On the surface, Zhu Yilong has become "rough", but in fact, as an actor, he is gradually expanding his screen charm, approaching the most realistic and delicate human nature.

3. Life eliminates death, no major events

rather than "realism", it is actually a fairy tale for adults in the city.

As an old funeralist, the third son's father, Lao Mo, has a very deep understanding of life and death.

"Life is nothing big before death" 's core view of life and death is also extracted from the old man's words.

From the surface of this sentence, it seems to emphasize that "the major events in life" are "death", but in fact, the most profound core expression of the film is related to death, but every sentence is not related to death.

Although a long passage is used to tell the progress of the relationship between Lao San and Xiao Wen, the other line of the story is Lao San’s true understanding of the funeral industry and death.

This is his growth only, and it is also the core values ​​that the movie borrows the role of the third child, and wants to truly convey to the audience.

The transformation of the third child comes from two things.

The first thing is two funeral experiences.

The sixth, who was cuckolded, was crushed to pieces due to a car accident. At the begging of his ex-girlfriend, the third one asked his father to come out and be buried as his love rival.

Under the guidance of his father, he wore white gloves to endure the vomiting, put together the body, made up the appearance and sorted it out. His tolerance for his love rival and reconciliation with his father made his cognition open-minded.

There is another one, which is a little girl who died prematurely due to illness. The customized pink urn he prepared for the little girl was painted by Xiaowen.

originally thought that the matter was screwed up by Xiaowen, but he didn't expect that the urn was not only accepted by the parents, but also expressed deep gratitude to him.

The third brother therefore understands what is the best memory for the deceased.

The second piece is the funeral of two fathers.

In order to make money, the third brother agreed to an old man’s request to hold a “living funeral” for himself.

Although this is a taboo in the industry, after learning about the old man's story, the third brother was also mixed with emotion.

It turned out that the old man had a happy life, but since he received a demolition payment, his family was in chaos and everyone was staring at the money, so he came up with such a way to spend the money.

Then, the third son's father also passed away.

The so-called embalmer, my father gave the third brother a Taoist test question: hold a decent funeral for himself that is not expensive and decent.

So, the third brother put his father's ashes in fireworks and bloomed into the most beautiful stars in the night sky.

The "stars of ashes" in the sky are actually not an imitation of "Goodbye Lenin", nor is it a sensational sublimation.

Because the movie has long used the mouth of a small article to express the most romantic definition of funeral practitioners - the person who is a star.

Xiaowen's grandmother became a star, and the third brother's father also became a star.

At this point, the core of the movie is about to emerge: miss the dead and live actively.

Use a child to eliminate the seriousness of death and use a firework to sublimate the meaning of death.

Movie uses very warm stories to highlight the main creators' views on life and death. For anyone, death is the law of nature and the separation that must be faced in the world.

The embalmer gave the deceased the last dignity and dignity, and was also telling the living that it is a big deal to live a good life, cherish the present, and live the present well.

At present, Douban scores 7.5 after the movie was released, with praises everywhere. The mainland predicts that the total box office will exceed 700 million.

won the box office list on the day it was released, with 3 firsts in the hot search list and word-of-mouth list.

After waiting for 6 months in 2022, domestic movies finally waited for a king. With the help of good reputation, Brother Pi dared to assert that this movie will be the biggest box office dark horse in 2022.

Let's wait and see!
