's " Homecoming " exceeded 1.1 billion at the box office within 11 days of its release.
You must know that this achievement is already very rare in the current weak film market. The total box office of
's entire National Day file is only 1.4 billion, and the runner-up " Ordinary Hero " has a box office of just over 100 million.
When the gap between the first place and the second place is obvious enough, it can always explain some problems, and it proves from the side that some aspects of "The Journey Home" are right.
The fact that the audience can go to the cinema for "The Journey Home" has already explained everything.
The adaptation of real events is touching
"The Journey Home" tells the story of 's evacuation of overseas Chinese . It is a summary adaptation of my country's evacuation of overseas Chinese in the past 30 years. Many scenes in the film are prototypes of real events. It's the point that hits the audience.
The real thing is often more moving. Attentive viewers of
will find that although the movie fictionalizes a country called Numia, it is probably Libya that is guessed from the photos of the leaders posted on the walls of the officials' offices.
and some of the experiences of the protagonist Zong Dawei ( Zhang Yi) do have the shadow of "Libya evacuating overseas Chinese". In the
comment area, some netizens criticized the "roulette game" in the movie and thought it was not real enough. After all, the
movie has to be adapted, and some fictional elements are understandable.
In some war-torn and turbulent areas in reality, there are indeed many situations in which the opponent's will is suppressed by means of ruthlessness. Although the form of ruthlessness is not necessarily through roulette, this does not prevent the director from using it for rendering. tense atmosphere.
Some minor changes do not affect the overall reality. The main creative team of
strives for perfection
director Rao Xiaozhi has high requirements for the texture of the film. In order to restore the real environment of the diplomats back then, they have a good grasp of the details, ranging from buildings or extras' costumes, daily expressions, and small candy wrappers. The Arabic logos on it are all trying to restore, giving the audience a sense of documentary.
Rao Xiaozhi spent half a year making preparations, making field visits, surveying materials, and interviewing real parties. It is the attitude of the main creative team that
strives for perfection, and has a classic shot on the big screen. The audience seems to be there and feel the thrilling environment of the diplomats at that time.
This feeling is stronger than the fierce battle scenes in "Wolf Warriors 2" and " Red Sea Operation ". After all, diplomats are defenseless and can only rely on flesh and blood to fight against the rioters. The difference in force value of
undoubtedly increases the dramatic conflict between and , making the audience sweat for Zong Dawei, Cheng Lang and others all the time.
The actor's acting skills are in place. The success of the
movie is inseparable from the wonderful performances of the actors. Among them, Zhang Yi's acting skills are impressive.
Zong Dawei, played by him, shows the calmness, wisdom and responsibility of a diplomat, especially when facing difficulties, he also has to be patient to solve problems, because he has to take his compatriots home, and the responsibility on his shoulders is too great. It's heavy.
Zhang Yi also showed the diplomat's flesh-and-blood side as an ordinary person in the film. When facing the test of life and death, he went from fear to firmness. This change of mood deeply moved the audience.
Yin Tao plays Bai Hua in the movie. She is not only an ordinary trapped compatriot who needs to be evacuated, but also a family member of a diplomat, but her husband Zhang Ning ( Zhang Zixian ) unfortunately died. After
lost her family, Bai Hua showed extraordinary tenacity, and she chose to continue to help the masses evacuate. In
, there is a scene where Bai Hua protects the little girl in Numia, which is particularly touching. Facing the threat of the rebels, Bai Hua did not hand over the little girl, but hugged her and protected her with her body.
The other compatriots also surrounded the little girl and formed a human wall, while the rebels surrounded the little girl.The army was afraid of the powerful China, and did not dare to do anything, but the little girl was rescued. Through this scene,
Yin Tao made the audience feel the helplessness of life and death in war-torn areas. It is normal in turbulent areas to live by fluke and die randomly, which also reflects the preciousness of our peaceful life.
It is worth mentioning that Wang Junkai 's performance in the movie is also very outstanding, and his acting skills have made great progress.
Cheng Lang, played by him, is a growing character. He interacts with Zhang Yi a lot, and the two influence each other. He also learned how to be a mature diplomat from his predecessors.
Wang Junkai's acting skills can't be compared with Zhang Yi, Yin Tao and other predecessors, but he has made obvious progress, completed the role modeling well, and won the praise of the audience.
