There is no embarrassment, Deng Chao and Yu Baimei's withdrawn "Chinese Table Tennis", is it worth watching?

Table tennis becomes a national sport, associated with a person, an event, a game.

A person is naturally Rong Guotuan, who created the "fast, accurate, ruthless, and changeable" fast-attack technical style of mainland table tennis, and is China's first table tennis men's singles world champion and the first world champion in New China.

An event is a small ball to promote the big ball turn, the famous table tennis diplomacy, a competition is the World Table Tennis Championships, now the World Table Tennis Championships is basically wrapped by the Chinese team, is the invincible king in everyone's heart.

But this was not the case before, "Chinese Table Tennis" tells a story about the "failed" World Table Tennis Championships, and also tells everyone how the era of "national table tennis" opened through the counterattack of failure and later birth.

"Chinese Table Tennis" is the second collaboration between Deng Chao and Yu Baimei, giving up comedy for the second time and making a serious movie instead.

This time, they reached a level above the standard, making "Chinese Table Tennis Jedi Strikes Back" a family movie suitable for the Spring Festival, but unfortunately it was withdrawn and released again on February 17.

Kurosawa once said, "A good movie must be both interesting and easy to understand." ”

The funny thing about "Chinese Table Tennis" is reflected in the contrast and funny, and her husband Dai Minjia, as the head coach, beats a swollen face and is fat outside, saying that he is the head of the family.

But after returning home, he was kicked out of bed by his wife Wang Ying, and the atmosphere did not dare to breathe, and the preset baggage one after the other was shaken cleanly and reasonable.

The joke in the film stems from Dai Minjia's "fear" of his wife, and the reason why he is "afraid" is because of his wife's dedication.

When Dai Minjia was abroad, the family lived in a large house, and the life was very good, and after returning to China, they were squeezed into a narrow house, and his wife did not complain too much.

Her husband's first victory failure was held accountable and condemned, and she was not afraid of leadership, tearfully defending her husband, speaking for him, explaining for him, and giving him support outside of life.

When the husband is most confused and critical, the wife asks the children to say "sa" on the phone, and uses the homophonic meme of her name "Ying" and "Win" to encourage her husband and be his most solid backing.

Career and family have never been difficult to take care of both, ignoring either is unwilling, it is this kind of love, understanding of "fear" that makes the movie interesting and unconventional.

As for easy to understand, "Chinese Table Tennis" is the most easy-to-understand film in the Spring Festival file.

There are no bells and whistles, no obscure terms, it is still a well-known story, and there is no threshold for watching movies.

The older generation of viewers can see the traces of the times, the feelings of the years, such as the lack of materials at that time, many people sit around and watch TV, cheering for the athletes.

Middle-aged audiences can resonate from Deng Chao and Sun Li's changing mode of getting along due to their careers in the film, while young audiences watch enthusiastic competitions and perseverance.

But taking care of audiences of every age also means that there will be hidden dangers of deficiencies in some places.

The genre of "Chinese Table Tennis" belongs to sports themes, and this kind of movie is not easy to make, especially sports genre films based on real events.

On the one hand, because if you are not careful, it will be made into a routine movie with only sensationalism and shouting slogans, on the other hand, because the audience knows the process and the ending, and then arouses their interest and needs innovation.

If you blindly show the picture of the game, it is better to watch the video directly, if you only care about the sweaty hard work, it will make the movie dull and boring, Deng Chao's choice is little known and a little generalized.

For example, in order to equip the team members with advanced training equipment, Dai Minjia took the team members out to find the boss to sponsor.

Originally, they were all proud of the country, but they became "clowns" on the wine table, performing pots and playing ping-pong for the bosses, flipping over on the spot, and temporarily putting down their faces.

They did this for four words, raising their eyebrows, because only by successfully winning the championship can all the contempt and insults be swept away, and can they be worthy of the dignity of shedding blood, tears, sweat and being trampled underfoot.

Winning the championship requires advanced analytical equipment, which is a cycle that cannot be avoided, which is also the best answer to "what kind of end is it worthy of the ups and downs along the way".

In the past, our impression of players was that they trained hard off the field, shining brightly on the field, and rarely saw another side of them that was unknown.

In "Chinese Table Tennis", Deng Chao added this paragraph to the plot, which is more effective than any big reason, and the audience can feel their sadness without too many lines.

When they shouted "sa" in the arena, combined with the original nod and waist, the mood went from low to high, and the burning in their hearts because of their victory became a true feeling.

It is precisely because of this just right adaptation that the existentialism in "Chinese Ping-Pong" came into being.

Human existence itself is meaningless, but people can shape themselves, achieve themselves, live wonderfully, and thus have meaning on the basis of their original existence.

The new five tigers of the national table tennis men's team were dubbed "remnants of defeated soldiers".

Old and old, small and small, wounded and blind, their future and life seem to have no light and future.

Dai Minjia's bold words about recapturing the Sweslin Cup in two years have not been fulfilled, and the journey of the team members to the World Table Tennis Championships in Gothenburg is not full of loads.

Doubts, invectives and crises flooded in, and if they choose to give up at this time, perhaps people will remember not their names, but this painful defeat.

But all battles that turn defeat into victory begin at the moment of crisis.

Dai Minjia was at risk of leaving class, and the players voted for him to stay, trusting and uniting each other, forging the men's team final of the 1995 World Table Tennis Championships and their nirvana rebirth.

This is the meaning of life, in the choice, in being worthy of yourself, in having an achievement, and when looking back, you will not regret it because of the temporary withdrawal of the year.

As mentioned in the movie, "to everyone who is not favored".

The exciting essence of "Chinese Table Tennis" is also here, which is the story of National Table Tennis returning to the peak, in fact, it tells the inspirational road of every ordinary person.

Before going to success, no one can predict what the future will look like, only keep climbing, there have been unwillingness, abandonment, anger, failure in the process, but there will be flowers in the past, this is the blood of ordinary people.

This is also the sublimation of the meaning of the ending of "Chinese Table Tennis", the previous generation slowly aged, but their spirit of never giving up easily and the way to deal with difficulties have been passed down, inspiring generations of young people.
