under WIFI1905 Movie Network Special Feature 's movie "The Journey Home" is adapted from real events, and for the first time, it selects the perspective of a diplomat and focuses on a dangerous journey home. On the third day of its release (October 2), "Returning from Thousands of Miles" received a box office of 185.7 million, surpassing October 1, and the box office reversed. Up to now, the film box office has exceeded 500 million, temporarily ranking first in the National Day box office.
"Today's Film Review" specially invited Cong Shan, a former diplomat, former first secretary of the Chinese Embassy in the Republic of Congo, and then office director, to walk into this film with us.
The movie has a strong sense of reality, and the actors perform well. As a diplomat who has experienced similar incidents, Cong Shan said about his experience of watching the movie: "They seem to make me feel like one of us, and some of the explosions are like the explosion in our embassy. , almost very similar. When I saw "The Return of the Thousand Miles", I also recalled my experience in the Congo." The Republic of Congo is also called Congo (Brazzaville), and the other Congo is called Congo (Kinshasa), namely the Democratic Republic of Congo, two Congo suffered wars in 1997. When wars broke out, bullets hit the Chinese embassy at that time. After the war, nearly a thousand pieces of glass were replaced in the courtyard alone. The crew of
"Homecoming" strives to present the most authentic exotic scene to the audience, and chose the way of real scene construction. As a diplomat who has participated in the African evacuation operation, Cong Shan said: "I think their scene is very well matched, especially the scene of the desert, I have been in the Sahara Desert for three years. In the past, after watching the movie, when I chatted with the ambassador and his wife, the special adviser on the Middle East issue, we also said that the scenery is very similar to North Africa." Such a real scene was not filmed abroad, but the crew was on the set. The scene built inside. In the
film, Zhang Yi successfully played the image of a flesh-and-blood diplomat and won the full praise of Cong Shan. The filming of "The Journey Home" is very consistent with Cong Shan's work identity. The film brought him a lot of resonance. Zhang Yi, the hero of the film, created a flesh-and-blood diplomat in the film. He also has He was hesitant at that time, but he had no choice but to give up his small family for everyone, and resolutely lead his compatriots through the war to return home.
@congshan: is very common among our diplomats, and everyone leaves a small family for everyone. Take me for example. I have been working abroad for 15 years, which is equal to 15 years. I have not been with me. Beside my daughter, my own father died and was unable to come back. Zhang Yi created this image to let us know that diplomats are also ordinary people, just like you and me. They also have families and parents, and then they also have joys and sorrows. And there is a scene in it that moved me very much. When Zhang Yi called his wife, he lied in good faith, saying that he was in Dubai, and he was in Dubai on a business trip. In fact, he was in a country that was already in war.
@congshan: I recall that we also had this kind of hesitation at the time. Our embassy was bombed, and the embassy was also on fire. Everyone went to put out the fire. When you came back from the fire, everyone said a word. No, it means that each of us is allowed to hold the only big brother and make a phone call to our relatives at home in China. I called my mother at the time, and I also lied with good intentions at the time, reporting her peace or something. But the sound of gunfire outside, my mother found something wrong, and later my brother said, why are you making this call, my mother was frightened, but my brother didn't know what we were in at that time. It's like explaining last words at the end, but we dare not say this. Today is the first time I disclose this plot, and I have never said this before.
@Host Xiaoli: I also saw a detail in the video that Zhang Yi, as a diplomat, heard a reply "Go out" many times when he was looking for help. Didn't it also get a lot of rejections, how did you solve it?
@congshan: We need to overcome various difficulties in practice. For example, when I evacuated the embassy for the last time, and the second time when I cut personnel and sent people away, we were also rejected at the airport, and their planes were not allowed to take off. , and then I also went to negotiate, but fortunately my identity as a diplomat played a role. Because our national strength has increased, our current evacuation work is more advanced than in the past, and many methods are more advanced than in the past. In the end, when many people finally returned to the motherland, they felt very excited. I also feel that peace is precious.
is on the National Day holiday, dear motherland's birthday, Cong Shan also blessed the motherland in the program: "prosperity and prosperity". There is a saying, "How can the years be quiet, but someone will carry the burden for us." No matter how the times change, as long as there are diplomats, as long as the motherland is there, all Chinese citizens feel at ease in their hearts.
