Using a "magnifying glass" to see the details of "The Journey Home" is shocking, even better than the plot

The box office market of

’s National Day movie theaters this year was cold, mainly because the main theme movie covered the screen to a certain extent, which aroused the audience’s rebellious psychology, but no one thought that a dark horse would be killed under such circumstances. " Homecoming ".

The box office of the film was only 59.94 million on its first day of release. However, with various mutual recommendations from the audience and the release of the film's word of mouth, the box office actually declined. Up to now, the film has harvested 1.16 billion box office, accounting for 45.7% of the total box office. Reached 1.825 billion, becoming the handle of the National Day file.

and the quality of the film has also been highly recognized by the audience. It scored 7.4 points on Douban. The acting skills of the actor Zhang Yi and the queen Yin Tao can be called gods. The evacuation action gives a sense of security .

even has fans watching the movie with a "magnifying glass". They are really shocked by the various details to the extreme, which are even more amazing than the plot. Let's take a look together.

The plot rationalizes the details, and interprets the process of evacuation of overseas Chinese.

"The Journey Home" is the main theme of the film. In fact, it faces the same problem as " Wolf Warrior ", which is the ratio of authenticity and drama. The spirit likes to hear it, but it can't accept the show that is too magical, because it will be similar to the drama.

The audience also has some things they don't understand about the film. One is that Cheng Lang, a rookie diplomat played by Wang Junkai and , participated in the evacuation of overseas Chinese at the age of 25. Is this reasonable? Some people even suspect that it is intentional in order to add a top stream.

In fact, the level of diplomats is divided into 7 grades, the film mainly reflects 4, from top to bottom.

Li Xuejian is the ambassador to Numia, Cheng Taiyan is the counselor of the embassy, ​​Zhang Zixian, Zhang Yi, Li Chen are all first-class secretaries, and Wang Junkai plays only the attache of the embassy's consular protection center. Divide by age and experience.

Chenglang's original mission was to take pictures, so he took the initiative to invite Ying to participate in the evacuation operation. In the real situation of diplomats, the new generation emerges one after another, which is also a kind of inheritance spirit.

The second is that the evacuees are basically construction workers with a low level of education, which is related to the specific event that in reality, we help African brothers in economic development, and by sending experienced construction workers to help beautify the city.

In the film, Zong Dawei, played by Zhang Yi, set the evacuation site to the oil refinery. This move is also a starting point, that is, to confirm the rebels' fear of the national economy. I really love this little detail.

The third is the role of the passport. Zong Dawei showed the diplomatic passport to show his identity. In foreign territories, he enjoys diplomatic privileges and immunities, and there is no need for the rebels to get into unnecessary trouble, so the diplomat's Work can be carried out, not the protagonist's halo switch, and it is also to survive multiple times, and the behavior and activities are logical.

is adapted from the real background to create a small "foreign"

This fourth point is the behind-the-scenes details of the film. Maybe when you watch the film, you really think that you are shooting abroad, but don't think much about it. In fact, because of the epidemic and the situation Influenced by this, it is too expensive and difficult to make movies abroad.

Director Rao Xiaozhi spent at least 6 months after taking over, traveling all over the country to survey the scene, and then he chose a place with similar geographical characteristics to the prototype Libya, which is Shapotou, Ningxia, but it is only roughly the same. Most of it still has to be done on the side of the scene.

In order to restore the style of the small country of North Africa to the greatest extent, Guo Fan arranged for the continuous expansion of the art setting group, and the staff reached a small thousand people. Through the 1:1 ratio, they built this building with more than 70 standards. buildingArchitectural North African town.

Even the pockets of goods that have fallen everywhere have obvious Arabic signs on them. The director will check the scraps of paper and newspapers on the ground on the set, and try to reproduce the pattern as much as possible. The fourth highlight of

is the group performance. This time, the filmmakers are completely prepared to succeed if they fail, because their goal is to make the filming location a real "little foreign country".

So the presence of foreigners is very necessary. You may think that it's not enough to put dozens of foreigners in front of the camera, and let people cover their heads to deal with it, and the war is so serious in the film that sometimes you even see the faces of the protagonists. unclear.

But the director said that you need to know that IMAX cameras can't deceive people. If the audience finds out that they are not foreigners but Chinese in one or two shots, the audience will not trust you. It is rare for

to have this kind of awareness, and Rao Xiaozhi even mobilized the entire crew to cast a net across the country to find foreign actors, and the number of people has reached more than 1,000 people, which has attracted the attention of immigration bureau . The most touching thing about

is that there was a group performer of Syria at the scene. When he saw the war-torn studio, he burst into tears, because these are what he has really experienced. The tears of a rough and strong man with a beard are enough You can see how shocking the film is to the audience.

At the same time, there are 125 compatriots in the film. They are actually very important existences. They give the audience the strongest sense of substitution. It is these ordinary people who have no identity who have suffered this unwarranted disaster. The

actors did not choose general group performances. Most of them were actors from the Rao Xiaozhi Repertory Troupe. In the close-up photos, the audience could feel their emotions, because Rao Xiaozhi held a special meeting and created a "character" for everyone. "Little Biography", they are no longer background boards, they have become more alive.

They also carried out weight-bearing hiking training under the arrangement of director Rao Xiaozhi, so as to deduce the most realistic state of walking in the desert, and shape 125 compatriots on the way home.

The sixth point is a more subtle design. The real event adaptation cannot use the real location name completely. The war-torn Libya is called Numia in the film.

originally thought it just sounded similar, but in fact, as early as , 3rd century BC, , there was an ancient kingdom in Africa called Numidia. Its historical location is similar to that of Libya today. Even the name was not chosen arbitrarily, which really made the audience feel 100% of the film's intentions.

All in all, the plot and details of "Homecoming" can stand up to scrutiny, because the filmmakers really put their heart and soul into it, both the actors and the people behind the scenes are in their best condition to restore the grand event of the evacuation of overseas Chinese and perform It is not surprising that it has the style of a big country and won a high box office, so have you found any different details?
