waited for too long, and Zhu Yilong 's " Life Events " has finally come. The movie
was originally scheduled to be released during the Qingming Festival, but it was postponed for 2 months due to the epidemic.
The cinema that has just resumed business, someone went to watch " Jurassic World 3" and returned disappointed; and "The Big Events of Life" won a high score of 9.7 on the ticket purchase platform just by pre-recording in advance.
This movie is very special and is rare in shooting: the funeral industry. What is even more unexpected is that the leading actor of this subject is Zhu Yilong, who is the aura of a noble young man.
"Life" and "Death" are the ultimate propositions that everyone has to face, and the person who wanders between the two worlds is the funeralist.
If you just act sadly and show off your blood, it will be sensational and cheap.
After watching a movie, I just want to say:
Zhu Yilong, just right, just right.
Among the current top young actors, Zhu Yilong is a special existence.
His signature feature is that his expression is clean, and under his long eyelashes are a pair of electric eyes that contain both lingering stars, misty water, and a torch-flame light. Zhang Ailing describes Qiao Qiqiao's appearance, which can be used on Zhu Yilong:
"Under the dark eyebrows and eyelashes, the eyes are like a paddie field blowing by the wind, and sometimes the green light of the water under the rice is exposed."
He is one of the few male actors in the domestic entertainment industry who have both bookish and gentlemanly spirit, suitable for children of aristocratic families and revolutionary youths.
And in "The Great Events of Life", he plays Mo Sanmei, a funeralist who "eats deathly".
round buzz cuts, floral shirts, gold chains, and foot-sweeping. There is no elegance, only the spirit of a "social person".
Before smoking, lick it, swing your arms to both sides when you walk, and snore when you eat noodles... It makes people forget that this is Zhu Yilong, and they just want to call him: Third brother.
funeral industry does not need any domineering presidents or Wall Street elites, but rather they have to mingle in the market, deal with funerals all day long, be able to recite eulogies in literature, and be able to carry a coffin to be funerals in martial arts. It is definitely not possible to be too gentle.
Before the filming of the movie started, Zhu Yilong went to the funeral home to do his homework. I observed a driver in the parking lot, shaved his head, smoking a cigarette, listening to pop songs, and sending a WeChat voice.
He got inspiration at that time, and the specific image of the third person was immediately established in his heart.
Only one end of life needs others to help complete it. When you are alive, you cry loudly and your state is different when you die.
All life and death are indecent. What the funeralist does is to help the deceased go through the last journey as decently as possible.
says that "there is nothing big outside life and death". Their work is actually very sacred, but the third brother is always called "eat the dead" and has to face the roll of his eyes and be "unlucky". His unsuspecting things are actually a protective color.
movie was filmed in Wuhan. Wuhan is surrounded by the river and is a steaming city. It produces hot dry noodles weeks black duck , and is also a wealth of famous female writers. People in Wuhan are born with a sense of hotness that is like a knife-like mouth and a tofu heart.
Zhu Yilong is from Wuhan. He acted like this kind of thing without hesitation - it would be too slippery if it was a little more, and it would be too unearthly if it was a little less. He wanted to perform the market's fireworks. How did he do it?
In the movie, you can see that he expresses it through many details:
For example, he can talk about business in a dialect, quarrel with people with his waist on his back;
For example, on the ear Holding a cigarette, chewing gum in your mouth;
For example, when talking to people, you will unconsciously shake your shoulders;
For example, even though you are very concerned about Xiaowen, you are blaming like a cannon when you open your mouth: Why are you running around in the middle of the night? What should you do if you run away?
For example, even though you care so much about Xiaowen, you just start your mouth and blame me like a cannon: Why are you running around in the middle of the night? What should you do if you run away?
Funeralists seem to face life and death every day, but behind every funeral incident, there are ordinary families, people of all kinds, and even various lifestyles.
So this is not a profession that ordinary people can do. Behind this profession, it is not only the aftermath of the deceased, but also the flavors of life and various human natures.
So, the more I look back, the more I find that the third brother's heart is far less ruffian than his appearance, and his huge contrast appears little by little through farewells.
And behind these farewells is the one that the Chinese people value the most and are obsessed with: family affection.
The first time was to bid farewell to Xiaowen's grandmother.
The old man died in his sleep, with only his granddaughter Xiaowen beside him.
San Ge "started work" on the spot, wrapped the old man's hands and feet with a hot towel, patiently waited until the stiff body softened, then slowly broke it apart, and gently put it down.
There is light in my eyes, and my movements are not like dealing with a corpse, but like taking care of my own relatives.
Just as she carried my grandmother away, Xiaowen jumped out and shouted: Where did you send my grandmother?
Haven't been to kindergarten yet, the wildly growing Xiaowen can't understand "death", and was simply and roughly popularized by the third brother: Your grandmother was put into a big box and sent away! After
Every time the two met, Xiaowen held the red tassel gun , and stood against the third brother, shouting to him: Return my grandmother!
The third brother was really impatient and shouted like a cannon: Grandma was burned, turned into cigarettes, and drifted away!
This pair of "enemy" has their own armor and their own weaknesses.
The tugging and red head rope on the head of Xiaowen and the red tassel in his hand are like a little Nezha .
The third brother is wearing a golden hoop bracelet and tiger pattern shorts. He also has Sun Wukong ornaments at home, corresponding to Monkey King .
Monkey King and Nezha, one of whom was said to have "no childhood" and the other believed that they "have no parents", both popped out of the cracks in the stone.
The third brother saw Xiaowen being kicked around like a ball, and he immediately thought of himself, and he was passionate and lived with Xiaowen.
From the beginning, Xiaowen kept silent, either "returning my grandmother" or "let me go", and no one could subdue her. Until she lived together, she was nourished by human favors in the small funeral shop.
The third brother helped her repair the red tassel gun, repair children's phone watches, and restore grandmother's voice information...
She also dared to scold the third brother in the tone of a little adult: Don't eat voraciously when eating, don't eat anything that falls on the table!
From then on, the third brother had a weakness and was willing to bow to others for her;
She called the third brother "the person who grows stars". In order to help the third brother "start business", he introduced him to his grandmother's dance partner.
The two of them never get to know each other, because they appreciate each other and keep warm with each other because of their similar fate, contributing most of their laughter and tears.
The most tear-jerking climax was that her mother, who had disappeared for many years, came to pick up Xiaowen, but she still ran back to her third brother's [Going to Heaven] and called him "Dad".
The second time I bid farewell to Lao Liu.
This man is the new love of the third brother’s girlfriend Xixi.
Xixi disliked him for being childish and immature, and could not give the stability he wanted.
The third brother took the property certificate left by his father and rushed to find Xixi excitedly, and just happened to run into Lao Liu.
This is a great humiliation to a man.
He was once imprisoned for fighting with Lao Liu. After coming out, he found that his girlfriend was having sex with the man who let him go to prison.
So the third brother's reaction was like a fight between trapped beasts, turning against them on the spot, never interacting with each other.
But when Lao Liu died in a car accident, his girlfriend still came back in tears and asked the third brother for help because she wanted his man to leave in a complete manner.
The third brother agreed to take this order and crossed the brink of love and hate.
He and his father successfully spliced the unrecognizable corpse, breaking the long-standing barrier between the father and son.
The third time was to send my father away.
The third brother and his father Lao Mo have a deep heart knot:
He always thought that his father only had his eldest sister and second brother in his heart, and never had him.
Other children were taken out to play by their father since childhood, and he was taken to the crematorium by his father since childhood.
When I was young, I went to prison and had to take over the "family business" when I came out, but I didn't want to take over...
So the two of them met and were in close contact, which was a typical "Chinese father and son".
The father didn't know how to express his love for his children. His son was impulsive and angry, but he just wanted to get the answer - whether the father loved himself or not.
Lao Mo actually wanted to leave the house for his son, but he was afraid that he would do whatever he wanted, so he added the condition: to keep this store.
When he was fighting for bones in the morgue, the third brother's partner took a look and ran away. The old father was determined to win, and only his son could do it. In this alternative scenario of
, the father and son achieved a reconciliation that had not been achieved for decades while working together.
Next to my father's hospital bed, the third brother finally heard his father's warm last words. Finally, by setting off fireworks, he "sends" his father's ashes to heaven, completing the secret agreement between the father and son.
This father-son relationship seems absurd, but because of the special profession of funeralist, it is very consistent with the logic of life - those love that cannot be said between father and son may only be unforgettable only when experiencing parting.
There are two kinds of deaths in this world: the first is the death of the body, that is, medical death; the second is the forgetting of relatives, and this is the ultimate death.
In the cartoon " Dream Journey to the Internet" , death seems to erase everything, but it always leaves something. What can resist the passage of time, fight the decline of memory, and cross the boundaries of time and space is the concern for those who love you.
Mexican writer and Nobel Prize in Literature winner Octavio Pas said: Only death shows the highest meaning of life, it is the opposite of life and the supplement to life.
The core of "The Great Events in Life" is more oriental and more intimate to the hearts of the people: the dead have not disappeared, and the souvenirs of relatives can turn them into stars in the sky. The stars keep flashing and they can survive in another world.
Even Zhang Ailing, who has always been mean and cold, once wrote: They lie quietly in my blood, and die again when I die.
The separation of life and death on the screen dilutes everyone's love and hate, puts the past grudges aside, and the inner void is filled with it. If life is impermanent, then letting go and reconciliation is the best way to deal with it. Movies like
appear in such a difficult film market and such a low pressure at this moment, and it is worth contributing a movie ticket to it.
Chinese people have always avoided talking about life and death because it means despair, bad luck, and unlucky.
However, "The Great Events in Life" is very courageous and takes a different approach. It chose the background of the world of fireworks and earth, presenting it in the form of a bright clothes and angry horse. Laughs and tears fly together, eliminating the horror of death, and also using this theme to bring positive and warm power to the audience.
In the past three years of the epidemic, it is difficult and is the word I have heard the most.
Everyone is sailing against the current, striving forward, "turning" themselves, showing them to the whole world every day, but ignores that everyone will have moments of soft and fragility in their hearts.
Confused and sluggish, helpless and difficult, if it cannot be changed for the time being, it is better to temporarily hide in other people's stories and cry unscrupulously and silently.
If you can use this story to cherish the people you love, cherish the people you love, cherish the time you spent together, and regain the power to set off, it will be the most considerate comfort.
"The Great Events in Life" is a vivid and fragrant appearance of sentient beings, and it is also a affectionate letter to relatives. Through death, we think about how to live better. This is the best healing at the moment.
