The movie " Homecoming " starring Zhang Yi, Wang Junkai and Yin Tao was screened on a large scale last night (29th), under the circumstance that word of mouth increasingly determines the film's subsequent box office , the film party took a risk and decided to show it in advance, which is enough to see the confidence in the film. In the end, the box office of the screening exceeded 10 million, detonating the National Day file ahead of schedule.
"Homecoming" is based on real events, directed by Rao Xiaozhi (" No Name " " Crowd "), Guo Fan (" Wandering Earth ") and Wang Hongwei Produced, Focus The behind-the-scenes story of diplomat evacuation .
In 2015, when there was a riot in the Republic of Numia, Zong Dawei (translated by Zhang), a former resident diplomat, and Cheng Lang (Wang Junkai), a newcomer to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, were ordered to assist in the evacuation of overseas Chinese. Due to giving up their seats to Taiwan compatriots, the two who were going back and forth at random were forced to stay in the turbulent place for one night.
Zong Dawei's wife is about to give birth. She has a "none of their business" attitude towards the embassy's next rescue plan. . After his friend and colleague Zhang Ning ( Zhang Zixian ) suffered a sudden shooting death, Zong Dawei decided to put his responsibilities in the first place and resolutely took over Zhang Ning's action task.
Retrograde under the fire of war, standing up in front of the gun, the two diplomats will lead the trapped compatriots on a hopeful journey home.
The "true"
film is adapted from real events, and the background of the story is also built out. In order to create the Republic of Numia in the movie, the production team built an extremely restored North African city in Ningxia, which is immersive. Affected by the epidemic and the sudden nature of overseas filming, moving the entire overseas set to China is undoubtedly more conducive to the smooth progress of the filming. The movie " Manslaughter 2" built a Thailand Chinatown in Zhuhai. "Homecoming" was filmed in many places across the country, not only creating a damaged city raging with war, but also going deep into the sandy desert for hard shooting.
"Burn"
"Returning from Thousands of Miles" is dominated by literary dramas, and several of the shootout scenes are extremely explosive. It was a big explosion soon after the opening, and the sense of realism that came to the face was extremely shocking. The fierce battle between the government army and the opposition, there is no shortage of bloody scenes, and there is no shortage of tanks , mortars and helicopters . The scene is not ambiguous.
" burst "
National Day file, as the domestic film schedule second only to the Spring Festival file, has become a must for domestic blockbusters. The release of this year's National Day film has aroused heated discussions. Both in terms of quality and quantity, compared with the previous two years, there has been a serious decline. "King of the Sky" and "Homecoming" have long established their leading positions in pre-sale. After "King of the Sky" was abruptly withdrawn in the name of unfinished production, "Homecoming" has become the only hope to detonate this year's National Day file. In the past two years,
has successively detonated the "Me and Mine" series, Bona 's "China" series and the movie " Changjin Lake ", and the "main theme" movie has become a favorite of the National Day archives. "Homecoming" has the potential to be a big hit in terms of storytelling and completion, and it is the best choice for entering the theater during the National Day holiday.
The evacuation of diplomats
The film focuses on the country's overseas evacuation operations, focusing on the unarmed diplomats. In addition to the pursuit of sensory stimulation scenes, more emphasis is placed on the rationality of the storyline. The
film is not overly sensational, especially in the rendering of the righteousness of the country, it does not appear deliberate, but gives people an immersive, straightforward and brief. The whole film is like the emergency landing plane with the mission in the beginning, a sense of urgency from this to the end, and there is no urine point throughout the whole process. The diplomat played by
Zhang Yi has a rich resume and various skills to deal with emergencies, but he also has situations that cannot be solved by his retreat and personal ability. Taking off the coat of a diplomat, he is just like other compatriots. Ordinary people. Nothing like supermanThe ability to not be able, and some are just the responsibility to move forward.
Wang Junkai plays a new diplomat. By convention, this rookie role is mostly a troublemaker. He once caused a dispute with his partner. Fortunately, the film did not express this aspect excessively. As a newcomer, he knew very little about the evacuation of overseas Chinese. It was normal for him to be young and skeptical. After entrusting a team of more than 100 people to him, he still chose to start from the overall situation and resolutely complete the task. Giving hope to those in distress is the best way to keep them going.
is a combination of Chinese and young diplomats, and the film has always maintained their "civilian" attributes. They don't have the super personal ability like "Wolf Warriors", and they don't have the firepower cooperation like " Jiaolong Commando ". Some of them are just individuals who respond calmly and take care of the overall situation, and portray the characters more flesh and blood.
Finally,
"Returning Thousands of Miles" began to promote, many netizens compared it with last year's South Korean "Olympic bid" film " Mogadishu ", which also tells the stories of diplomats stationed abroad, all based on real There are many similarities between the two films.
Which movie is better is a matter of opinion. The difference between the two is also easy to distinguish. "Mogadishu" focuses on the relationship between South Korea and North Korea, while "The Journey Home" is a manifestation of the strength of a great power and a proof that "the motherland will never give up overseas compatriots". It's all really happened.
Therefore, "The Journey Home" is definitely not the Chinese version of "Mogadishu", it is the only Chinese evacuation operation in the world.
" please hold up your national flags and passports, we will lead you home!"
is right, don't rush to leave the movie when the subtitles start, and the "Wolf Warrior" appears in the easter egg at the end of the film. !
