February 17,
The schedule has undergone many adjustments
"Chinese Table Tennis: Jedi Strikes Back" (hereinafter referred to as "Chinese Table Tennis")
Finally meet everyone.
As of press time, the box office exceeded 70 million,
#China Table Tennis Box Office#Related topics are on Weibo hot search.
"'Good movie' is no longer a criterion for watching a movie.
"Sense of ritual" is becoming more and more important,
"Mystery" is also becoming increasingly important. ”
Some netizens sighed,
As we all know, the story of "Chinese Table Tennis" is selected
To a certain extent, there is no "mystery",
Even though the film's Douban score reached 7.0,
created the best reputation of Deng Chao and Yu Baimei's directorial career,
At present, there is still a lot of room for improvement at the box office.
"Some people say we are a dissuasive group,
I hope that audiences with this idea will come and see this movie. ”
In the face of continuous bad reviews of past works, and even overdraft of word of mouth,
Deng Chao responded on the occasion of the release.
Compared with previous creations,
He seemed to be more attentive this time.
Some time ago,
"Deng Yu Group" and actor Liang Chao as a guest in "China Film Report",
Dialogue with movie channel host Luo Man, intern reporter He Junlin,
Talk about the film's creation over a thousand days.
When his father was young, he was the table tennis doubles champion in Chang'an County, Shaanxi Province
Affected by it,
Yu Baimei is also a super sports fan,
I always dreamed of making an exciting sports movie.
So he directed "Chinese Table Tennis",
It also became his "dream fulfillment".
The film tells the story of Chinese men's table tennis falling to the bottom in the nineties of the last century,
The new coaching team has carried out an all-round transformation of them,
Helped National Table Tennis make a comeback in the 1995 Tianjin World Table Tennis Championships.
"An unpromising coach,
A group of unpromising players.
At its lowest point, the Jedi fought back. ”
Deng Chao said frankly,
He is fully able to understand the characters in "Chinese Table Tennis".
Because he and Yu Baimei have also experienced failure,
I have experienced being criticized by everyone and ridiculed by online groups.
How hard it is for unpromising people to get things done,
He knows very well.
The story of the national table tennis crowd will Jedi fight back makes the two directors feel the same way.
They want to make "Chinese Table Tennis" their own style.
Deng Chao plays the head coach "Dai Minjia" in the movie.
He is not technically sophisticated
To this end, the famous table tennis coaches Shi Zhihao and Li Nan were invited to become "military masters",
Practice your table tennis skills from scratch.
Although ready to "suffer".
But wait until the coach says "Come on!" ”
So he "abused" him for almost two hours in class for the first time,
This also made Deng Chao shout, "I almost fainted!" ”
In particular, the character "Dai Minjia" is a "left-handed".
He felt a "headache" because of this.
So sure you're comfortable with using your left hand?
The solution Deng Chao came up with was,
Eat and play ball,
Let the colleagues around them stare at themselves,
Once he was found with his right hand,
He will need to be fined.
The film took more than 1,000 days from preparation to release.
The crew has always had 18 table tennis professional consultants "sitting in line".
Under the guidance of all the masters,
The "secret war" of Director Yu and Director Deng can always provide jokes for everyone,
Liang Chao, who also played a table tennis coach in the film, broke the news.
Of course
The source of the crew's jokes is the "living treasure" of Deng Chao and Sun Li.
The scene in the film where Deng Chao was kicked out of bed by Sun Li,
It only took one shot and it passed.
Yu Baimei joked,
This somewhat reflects the life experience of the couple,
Themselves are just their "recorders".
"Sun Li is the best head of the family."
Talking about his wife's constant companionship and encouragement,
Deng Chao said emotionally,
Over the years,
I am especially grateful to Sun Li for her silent dedication.
"I think we made a good movie,
If measured by life,
It is scaled. ”
gathered the efforts and efforts of the crew,
Deng Chao finally couldn't help but sigh,
I hope that the movie is dedicated to everyone who is not favored.
