is not afraid of being late for a good meal, "Chinese Ping Pong: The Jedi Counterattack" will be fully launched in theaters on February 17.
Is "Chinese Ping Pong" considered a "good meal"?
The author thinks: Forget it! The story of the film is complete and has a good sense of rhythm, the climax passages are well handled, and the emotional foreshadowing is perfect to make people cry. Among them, the author thinks the most worth mentioning is the details of this film.
To give the simplest example, the famous Belgian table tennis player Seve likes to lift his shorts very high during the game, which looks like briefs. Although Seve only has two shots in the film, this detail is perfectly expressed Come out, many old table tennis fans will fall in love with this movie at a glance.
This article expands to talk about the characters and prototype stories in "Chinese Ping Pong".
Dai Minjia-Deng Chao-Cai Zhenhua
The male number one in "Chinese Table Tennis", and also the number one male player in my country's table tennis world since the 1990s.
Before Cai Zhenhua became the head coach of the national table tennis men’s team, the Swedish men’s team of the World Table Tennis Championships won three consecutive championships. At the worst time, the national table tennis men’s team even lost to the Czech Republic. As long as they were men in individual events, they all lost. Due to technically backward morale Not high, it can be said to be very depressed.
After taking office, Cai Zhenhua is equivalent to the second start of the National Table Tennis Men's Team. After a few years of hard work, he finally returned to the country and ruled for many years in one go. "China Ping Pong" made Cai Zhenhua the number one male.
Many details of Cai Zhenhua's life and work are reproduced in the movie. Perhaps the most familiar to domestic audiences is the scene of him lying on the physiotherapy bed while receiving treatment and staring at the training of the players.
In the movie, Director Mi (played by Tan Xihe) who provided escort for Dai Minjia and the National Table Tennis Team should be based on Xu Yinsheng, then chairman of the Chinese Table Tennis Association, who can be recognized at a glance by his appearance. The prototype of Director Qi played by
Shi Liang should be Li Furong, then director of the Training Bureau of the National Sports Commission and vice chairman of the Table Tennis Association. The Ni Xiaodong played by Liang Chao should be Li Xiaodong, the former meritorious coach of the National Men's Table Tennis Team.
Bai Minhe—Xu Weizhou—Ma Wenge
Maybe many young table tennis fans are not familiar with Ma Wenge. After all, his national team career was in the downturn of the national table tennis men’s team. cover up.
In fact, Ma Wenge was the absolute main force and pillar of the national table tennis men's team during the downturn. He survived the most difficult years of the national table tennis men's team, especially in the Barcelona Olympics. He still won a bronze medal under the siege of European experts. very valuable.
Bai Minhe in "Chinese Ping Pong" can be regarded as the second male lead. After all, he has the most roles in the Five Tigers. Xu Weizhou deliberately darkened his skin in order to create a character. At least in terms of skin color, he is very close to the Ma Cultural Revolution.
Of course, Xu Weizhou's height of 1.80 meters is more than ten centimeters taller than Ma Wenge's. Taller. If Wang Liqin is filmed in the future, Xu Weizhou should be the first choice.
Huang Zhao—Duan Bowen—Wang Tao
It is said that Duan Bowen gained 30 pounds on purpose to play Huang Zhao, but in terms of perception, he still feels much thinner than Wang Tao, without the round and fleshy feeling of Wang Tao .
Duan Bowen is also much taller than Wang Tao. In fact, the height problem has been troubled by Wang Tao for many years. If he needs to grow a few centimeters, his journey as a national table tennis player will be smoother.
Duan Bowen's face and facial features are indeed a bit like Wang Tao, and his acting skills are also good. Many table tennis fans can immediately guess who he is playing as soon as they see his face.
In "Chinese Ping Pong", Huang Zhao's family background is very good. Both his parents and elder brother and sister-in-law live in villas in Australia. In reality, Wang Tao's father and mother are both artists of the ACFTU Art Troupe, and they also served as the head and deputy head of the troupe. His elder brother is also a musical genius. His family background is quite good, but it was his elder brother who went to settle in Australia.
Wang Tao’s father, Wang Shijun, once wrote a book "My Son Wang Tao", which I remember was made into a TV series. In the movie "Chinese Table Tennis", there is a scene where Wang Tao’s father eats Jiuxin Pills and watches a game. In reality, Wang Tao’s father directly Was sent to the hospital, too nervous and too excited.
Wang Tao really became familiar to the people of the whole country in the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. He and Lu Lin won the men's doubles championship together.It was regarded as a major breakthrough for the men's table tennis team back then. There are also several scenes in the movie that depict Lu Lin. In the film, his name is Lu Sen.
Gong Feng-Cai Yida-Ding Song
Cai Yida is Cai Zhenhua's son, formerly named Cai Yi, because his mother conceived him while in Italy. Although Cai Yida grew up in the training hall of the General Administration of Sports, his ambition since he was a child was acting, so he was admitted to the acting department of Beijing Film Academy.
Ding Song is close to 1.8 meters tall. Although Cai Yida is a bit distant from Ding Song in terms of facial features, he is very close in height and skin color. Coupled with his good acting skills, he performed the lonely and arrogant feeling of "Lonely Song" , so this role is still in place.
When Chen Wen and Gong Feng fight in the film, there is a saying that he has no relatives to visit him in the national team for several years. In fact, Ding Song and his mother had a six-year cold war because of family reasons, which made his character even more withdrawn. .
In the movie, Gong Feng was regarded as a secret weapon, and Ding Song was indeed a secret weapon in the 1995 World Table Tennis Championships. But in reality, Ding Song had already participated in many international competitions before the Tianjin World Table Tennis Championships. He only played against Karlsson. It seems that they fought once, so when Carlsson faced Ding Song, he had nothing to do, and Ding Song became famous in one fell swoop.
Ding Song is supported by the coach Du Yuancheng in "Chinese Table Tennis". The prototype of this coach is Lu Yuansheng, the meritorious coach of the national team. .
Dong Shuai—Sun Xilun—Kong Linghui
Sun Xilun was born as a child star. He was only 17 years old when he filmed "Chinese Ping Pong", and he was about the same age as Kong Linghui at the same time. Therefore, his role is highly restored. Kong Linghui was really so The image of tender little fresh meat. One interesting thing about
is that this character is named Dong Shuai. The word "handsome" sums up Kong Linghui's appearance and skills.
From the image point of view, Kong Linghui's appearance advantage in the national team at that time was very obvious, and his delicate face was particularly eye-catching. From the perspective of golf skills, Kong Linghui does not belong to a tough style of play. His skills are very comprehensive and his movements are smooth, which is pleasing to the eye. Therefore, the word "handsome" is indeed very expressive.
There is a scene in the movie. Hou Zhuoxiang (Liu Guoliang), who is also very young, is holding a purple sand pot in the national team dormitory and carefully playing with his hands. It doesn’t seem to match his age. He started playing in his teens baby pot?
The author believes that this episode should be a tribute from "Chinese Table Tennis", of course it can also be a teasing of Kong Linghui. After quitting the national team, Kong Linghui has been working on the project of purple clay teapots. He has also created his own brand. It is said that he also has table tennis ideas. pot.
made it too obvious for Dong Shuai to play pot, come on, let Hou Zhuoxiang play, who made the two of them have a good relationship.
Hou Zhuoxiang-Ding Guansen-Liu Guoliang
Ding Guansen was 29 years old when he starred in "Chinese Ping Pong", almost one round older than Liu Guoliang of the same period he played, so Hou Zhuoxiang in the movie looks a bit old-fashioned, but this is also in line with Liu Guoliang's personality .
Hou Zhuoxiang basically took care of all the jokes in "Chinese Ping Pong". For example, he and his teammates ran out of the dormitory to play in the middle of the night and were caught by the coach. Everyone else slipped away, but he was still pretending to warm up, which was very comical.
Before the final of the 1995 World Table Tennis Championships, Liu Guoliang approached Cai Zhenhua and wanted to send him to play, but Cai Zhenhua considered and did not choose Liu Guoliang.
In addition, "Chinese Table Tennis" has shown Hou Zhuoxiang's coaching potential many times. Surprised, he was very relieved: he was sure to win.
At the end of the movie, when the reporter's microphone was handed over to Hou Zhuoxiang, his line was very connotative: everything has just begun. In fact, as Cai Zhenhua's direct disciple and successor, this sentence can be called the finishing touch.
Wang Yao—Yu Haoming—Wang Hao
This Wang Hao is not that Wang Hao. This Wang Hao is a chipper. He was a member of the men’s team champion in the 1987 World Table Tennis Championships. Later, due to multiple injuries, he had to leave the national team to play in Europe .
Many people may wonder why "Chinese Ping Pong" will ask Yu Haoming to play this role, you will understand by comparing the photos of the two, the similarity is quite high.
In the movie, Wang Yao was ordered to participate in the World Table Tennis Championships in Gothenburg. In fact, before that, Wang Hao had been recalled by Cai Zhenhua to participate in the men’s World Cup competition, and he defeated the Swedish team Linde as the main player, together with Ma Wenge and Wang Tao. Defeating the Swedish team to win the World Cup was probably the earliest "two kings and one horse" combination.
The scene of Wang Tao lying on the ground after winning the Tianjin World Table Tennis Championship was first staged by Wang Hao after winning the World Cup. .
Although Wang Hao fell short at the World Table Tennis Championships in Gothenburg and failed to help the national table tennis team beat Sweden, the movie "Chinese Ping Pong" also gave him a very objective evaluation: he played very well.
Chen Wen—Aruna—?
is very interesting. Due to the change of "Chinese Ping Pong", Aruna, who played Chen Wen, became popular in advance, and his role as Mangcun Li Hongwei in "Hurricane" became a big Internet celebrity.
The role of Chen Wen in the movie is the second best player in domestic loop ball after the Ma Cultural Revolution, but he had to change to play as a sparring partner in order to cooperate with Gong Feng. Later, because of dissatisfaction with Gong Feng, he was withdrawn from the national team after a fight. This role is positioned Let the author also can't figure out who the prototype is.
However, maybe Chen Wen’s prototype is not a certain person at all, but the sparring players of the entire table tennis team. For example, Liu Guoliang’s brother Liu Guodong has played sparring in the national team. After training, he has to take care of Liu Guoliang to help him clean up the dormitory .
Chen Wen has two very touching scenes, one is the words he left to Dai Minjia when he quit the national team, and the other is his crying after seeing Gong Feng beat Carlsson, he is the representative of the team The hard work of the players, they are the unsung heroes behind the brilliant record of the National Table Tennis Team.
Lin Zhigang and Deng Yaping
"Chinese Table Tennis" mainly describes the men's team, but the members of the women's team who were thriving at the time also occasionally appeared in the film, among which "Deng Yaping" played the most. Qiao Hong.
What's interesting is that there are three scenes about "Deng Yaping" in the film, and in two scenes it is mentioned that she has feelings for "Brother Zhigang".
This "Brother Zhigang" is based on Lin Zhigang, who was the main force of the National Table Tennis Men's Team at the time, and his relationship with Deng Yaping is also true. After the two confirmed their relationship, they kept it a secret at first, and then it was known to the outside world.
It is said that the national team has an unwritten rule that if two players fall in love, one of them must quit the national team, so Lin Zhigang chose to return to the provincial team, but later he and Deng Yaping broke up for various reasons, until they both went abroad and reunited Walked together and got married in 2004.
It may be because Lin Zhigang and Deng Yaping finally achieved a positive result, so the movie "Chinese Ping Pong" "unscrupulously" exposed Deng Yaping's relationship back then.
On the whole, "Chinese Ping Pong" is indeed excellent in detail handling, restoring many characters and allusions in the history of table tennis, and leading the audience back to the passionate years.
One last detail, in the 1995 World Table Tennis Championships final audience, a spectator shouted with a Tianjin accent: Come on Gong Feng, give Carlson Na Na Long.
Absolutely!
