The movie tells the story of Gao Zhilei, a middle-level executive in a large factory played by Xu Zheng, who was laid off and turned to work as a delivery boy to make a living. In the final trailer, the extreme contrast of Gao Zhilei's career played by Xu Zheng is impressive. One second he was having a "passionate" battle with the delivery boy played by Wang Xiao, and the next second he became a member of the delivery station practicing "smiling". In addition, Zhu, the webmaster of the takeaway station played by Jia Bing, held a morning meeting with a loudspeaker in his hand. He had an extraordinary temperament and said "Use with caution", which made people laugh.
"Retrograde Life" is not only about the group of delivery workers, but also shows the various life styles of ordinary people who work hard to live. Delivery workers are just a profession. What is more vivid in the movie is the life story behind them. When they face the difficulties in life, how they will go against the wind and save themselves from fire and water thousands of times.
In the "Destiny" special, Xu Zheng shared the original intention of creating the film: "The delivery industry is the most familiar to everyone, but at the same time it is the most unfamiliar." But it is this group of people who are most closely connected with the real world. . "Retrograde Life" restores many real people and real details in life at a 1:1 ratio. Director Xu Zheng specifically chose the filming location next to a real takeout station to allow the entire crew to observe and understand real takeaways 24 hours a day. living and working conditions. In order to create a sense of reality, the crew visited takeaway stations in 16 districts and counties in Shanghai in the early stage of filming, conducted in-depth interviews with many real people and integrated them into the creation of the film, just to make every character in the film vivid. Live and very vital.
All the main creative staff actually ran food delivery all over the country before the filming of the film began, in order to understand the entire process of delivery workers from taking orders to delivering food. Everyone feels firsthand that this job is far more complicated and difficult than imagined. Whether it's the anxiety of getting lost in the streets or the rush of rushing to get the next order, the most common thing on the lips of the creators during the food delivery process is "I'm sorry." The crew also visited many delivery riders on the spot, followed their running footsteps, and recorded their thoughts and unknown details of their lives. Among them, a female rider shared her habit of involuntarily speeding up her pace once she receives an order. There is also a single king of a takeaway station who said calmly that the title of single king is just the result of spending more time and effort than others. Through constant experience and accumulation, these real stories and emotions were skillfully integrated into the performance and narrative of the film by the creators, making the film full of realism and appeal.
