The Spring Festival stall is just around the corner.
Unexpectedly, there is a movie with twists and turns.
It is "Chinese Table Tennis Jedi Strikes Back".
Set the latest on the third day of the new year.
Looking at the Spring Festival stalls for many years, this operation is extremely rare.
As a result, many netizens and industry personnel feel that this is obviously to be used as cannon fodder.
It has also become the least favored movie in this year's Spring Festival.
It just so happened that I watched the premiere of the film.
Today, I will tell you whether it is worth changing the gears and storms -
"Chinese Table Tennis Jedi Strikes Back"
In fact, judging from the response after the premiere, the reputation of "Chinese Table Tennis" is somewhat unexpected, and it has the appearance of a dark horse.
Not only the audience, but also sports legends and celebrities in the circle who have participated in sports movies have given quite high evaluations.
As a sports-themed movie, it is extremely difficult to win the recognition of the big guys in this field.
"Chinese Table Tennis" focuses on the national ball we are familiar with.
The story is about the Chinese table tennis men's team in the early 90s of the last century.
At that time, facing the surging Swedish team, the Chinese men's table tennis lost one after another in the World Series.
The whole world seems to have given the verdict to the Chinese men's table tennis -
Chinese era of domination of table tennis is over.
It was in this context that Dai Minjia, the head coach played by Deng Chao, appeared.
In the Italian sports world, he is known as the "godfather of table tennis" and is famous.
At this time, he was ordered in danger, received an invitation to teach the national table tennis coach, and decided to return to China.
However, almost everyone is not optimistic about this decision.
First, he originally enjoyed a high reputation and excellent material conditions in Italy.
Back in the motherland, the standard of living will only plummet.
Second, the national table tennis men's team is actually taking over a mess.
If you can't achieve results in the short term, you will inevitably lose your reputation.
However, known for his iron fist, he did not have the slightest timidity.
And boasted about Haikou when running for head coach -
"Win the Sweithlin Cup in two years"
With such bold words, he formed a new national team.
But at the same time, it has also attracted more controversy.
The main team member (played by Xu Weizhou) is his apprentice, although in terms of qualifications, he is an old-timer in the team.
But because of the long-term shoulder injury, it has become a big hidden danger in the game.
Also selected is the frustrated veteran (Duan Bowen).
Age is long, singles results are not outstanding.
Even his family does not support his love of table tennis, only hoping that he will find a "serious job".
There is a chipper (played by Cai Yida).
Thousand degrees of myopia, ridiculed as "blind people playing".
and two young players.
Lack of competition experience, and even less favored by the outside world.
As soon as the new team came out, everyone did not understand the layout of the head coach.
Even internally, the new army was treated as a "remnant of the defeated army".
And the least optimistic is the manager who is in danger.
In the eyes of others, a series of operations after he taught are completely elusive.
At the same time, he himself has suffered various criticisms.
Brush your hair and be said to be oily and floury.
Wearing a famous watch, he was said not to do his job.
Large-scale reforms, which are said to be authoritarian.
Especially after coaching, the World Table Tennis Championships failed to win the championship, and the ridicule and accusations came to the face.
As the director said:
"This film is not about how to succeed, but how to face failure."
The highlight of the movie is precisely this group of people who are not favored at all.
At that time, the national table tennis men's team fell from the peak to the bottom.
Domestic disappointment, foreign disappointment.
Fortunately, the manager withstood pressure from all sides and insisted on drastic reforms.
The team members who are not optimistic about outsiders are all amazing soldiers in his eyes.
For example, the main injured force, although plagued by shoulder injury, can still exert strong strength with treatment.
The most important thing is that as a veteran member of the team, he is like a "sea god needle" to everyone.
Another example is the chipper who is myopic in the thousand-degree degree.
After practicing for many years, I haven't been on the field.
Outsiders seem puzzled.
And the manager is convinced that this is his "secret weapon".
Once on the table, you can win amazingly.
There are also "Gemini" who are completely unknown to everyone.
Outsiders were even more puzzled why he used two new people.
Only he knows that this is the future of Guoping.
During the open selection competition, the two had a stalemate in the fight.
He could see at a glance that the two had their own strengths.
The Gemini plays tricky, unexpected, and on the international stage, it is a lethal weapon.
In the end, under Dai Minjia's unprecedented reform, the national table tennis men's team finally staged a headwind turnover.
For the grievance of not being favored for many years, he breathed a sigh of relief.
From beginning to end, he has never given up the belief that National Table Tennis will return to the peak.
He firmly believes that Guoping is not incurable, and firmly believes that these players still have unlimited potential.
Despite constant criticism, there have been repeated setbacks.
But he was never defeated.
Not only led the national table tennis men's team to counterattack this time, but also passed on the spirit of Chinese table tennis not to admit defeat forever.
"Chinese Table Tennis: Jedi Strikes Back" is 137 minutes long.
But when watching the movie, it doesn't feel long at all.
Because the whole story is very tightly paced.
Game after game, it is easy to drive the emotions of the audience, there is an immersive experience of watching the game.
In addition to the burning point, there are also laughter and tears.
The emotional drama contained in it makes every ordinary person feel the same way.
Especially the wife played by Sun Li.
The interpretation of the image of a family member standing behind Guoping is very moving.
Her husband abandoned the good life in Italy and lived in a cramped house after returning to China, and she was not dissatisfied;
Her husband was held accountable for his first championship defeat, and she was not afraid to lead and tearfully defended her husband.
It was her support that gave her husband a solid back that allowed him to move forward on the training ground.
Such a touching detailed story not only makes the characters in the movie fuller, but also greatly enriches the emotional core of the movie.
Let people of different ages see different points from it.
The audience of the older generation sees the feelings of the years.
In the familiar compound, a large group of people sat in front of the television.
In the era of material wealth, watching sports games together with neighbors became the most unforgettable pastime and happiness.
The movie evokes not only memories of the game, but also memories of time.
Middle-aged audiences see the comfort of life.
It is difficult to balance career and family, and it is unwilling to give up either one.
Those most realistic life problems are not only Dai Minjia's heart knot, but also the heart knot of countless middle-aged audiences.
This strong sense of resonance invisibly allows the audience to form a subtle emotional connection with the characters.
Young spectators, on the other hand, can see the blood of the table tennis competition.
From the tense sparring of players on the field, to the harsh judgment of the referee on the sidelines, to the cheers of the spectators outside the field.
This wonderful pinnacle showdown has appeared in front of you.
Let the audience also relive the passion and excitement of that time and feel the charm of national football.
In short, one word:
Burn!
And for all the audiences at the moment, this film has a more special meaning.
Now, three years after the epidemic was released, many viewers have just recovered from the illness.
A "sass" on the court invisibly gave us a different feeling.
It's not just a shout for players to win on the field, it's a cry for our lives.
The spirit of never admitting defeat and turning over against the wind of National Ping Ping will continue to each of us in reality.
It can be said that this film is actually a real family movie in this year's Spring Festival, suitable for audiences of all ages.
Moreover, table tennis, as a national sport, we have been in contact with it since childhood.
It can really achieve "zero threshold" to watch movies.
Interestingly, the screen is about turning over against the wind.
There have also been many twists and turns off-screen.
Since it was finalized, "Chinese Table Tennis Jedi Strikes Back" has also become an unpromising film in the eyes of some people.
The film unexpectedly forms a clever intertext with reality.
In adversity, it is not only the national table tennis team that year, but also the situation of this "Chinese Table Tennis".
In fact, I didn't have great expectations for this film at first.
Unexpectedly, after watching the film, I felt unexpectedly satisfied.
Not only the blood boiling, but also a feeling of exhilaration.
Will be immersed in the emotions of the characters, and burst into tears and cheers when they finally win the championship.
It can be called the most exciting movie in the three years of the epidemic.
Therefore, a good meal is not afraid of being late.
Although it was not until the third day of the new year that the film was officially released.
But with the momentum inside and outside the movie, it is entirely possible to become a strong dark horse and stage a Jedi counterattack in the Spring Festival file.
The blade of the sword is sharpened, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold.
Wait two more days, it's worth it!
