On the one hand, frequent gear adjustments may consume the interest of a part of the audience; On the other hand, as soon as they see the familiar name of "Deng Chao Yu Baimei" on the director's list, it is estimated that many viewers will have a black eye in front of them and begin to be attacked by dead memories...

After all, "Breakup Master" and "Villain Angel" were the nightmares of many fans back then. So that as soon as Deng Yu and the two were combined, everyone resisted madly.

But this time "Chinese Table Tennis Jedi Strikes Back", they are finally reliable.

No matter the story, art, photography, performance, you can see their efforts and intentions, and they have indeed made significant progress compared with the previous ones. It is absolutely no problem to say that Deng Chaoyu has the best directorial career in Baimei. Even if you compare it in the dimension of domestic sports films, this movie is still wonderful and good-looking, and it can be worth the ticket price.

Many people may feel bored when they hear the movie about Chinese table tennis. With the strength of the Chinese team, who is not a winner? Do you still use to make movies?

Young audiences may only see that Chinese table tennis now dominates the world and seeks defeat alone, but they do not know that more than thirty years ago, Chinese men's table tennis also had a long period of darkest moments. This movie tells the inspirational story of how the men's table tennis from 1989 to 1995 came out of the trough and achieved the Jedi counterattack under the leadership of head coach Dai Minjia.

Since it is a sports film, presenting fierce matches on the big screen is often the biggest attraction. At this point, "Chinese Ping-Pong: Jedi Strikes Back" has done quite well. The film restores a total of three competitions, namely the Busan Invitational Tournament, the 1993 Gothenburg World Table Tennis Championships and the 1995 Tianjin World Table Tennis Championships. The film creates a tense and exciting atmosphere of the competition through excellent scene scheduling and photography, and the hard work of the actors, and the portrayal of the players, courtside coaches, commentators, live audiences and audiences in front of the TV makes the overall restoration more comprehensive.

Deng Chao's head coach Dai Minjia, who coaches in Italy at the beginning of the film, returns to China with his pregnant wife when he learns of the repeated defeats of the Chinese team he once played, and successfully runs for head coach with a short but passionate speech.

How to make the team that has fallen into a trough look new and return to the top is the focus of the movie. It can be seen that Deng Chaoyu Baimei must have done a lot of interview work and dug up a lot of stories from that year.

For example, how did Dai Minjia select the lineup that was later called the "Five Tigers of the Table Tennis Circle", but was ridiculed at the time as "wounded, blind, small, old and old".

In order to change the team's loose style and bad habit of smoking and laziness, Dai Minjia raided the dormitory and fired the team members who violated the rules.

The film devotes a lot of space to telling the technical and tactical adjustments that Dai Minjia made to the team after taking office. For example, take the players to practice their physical fitness, send the players to play in European clubs, let them be "agents", find out the opponent's technology and come back to seek a way to crack it, and even take the apprentices to drink with entrepreneurs and perform poignant scenes such as turning over heads in order to pull sponsorship.

The film's remarkable performance in audiovisual language is one of the most surprising advances of Deng Chaoyu Baimei this time, after all, their previous works are really lackluster in this regard.

Many of the compositions in the film can be seen to be carefully designed, such as the photo banner of the Swedish "Five Tigers" slowly falling at the end of the film, replaced by the Chinese "Five Tigers", symbolizing the transformation of the victory and defeat of the two sides. Dai Minjia planned to send the team members abroad to "lurk", and passers-by appeared fishing in the foreground. The scene of the coaching staff running by the sea with the team is a tribute to the classic sports film "Chariots of Fire".

There are also several transitions that are also beautiful, such as the circular staircase from the circular Colosseum in the painting to the circular staircase of the General Administration of Sports, and the circular lantern festival with round ping-pong balls. Not to mention the use of various slow-motion and rotating lenses on the playing field.

What is particularly impressive is that after Gothenburg's defeat, Dai Minjia's subjective lens to see everything around him, the whole world seems to have nothing to do with me after a huge setback, and the noisy arena is instantly silent, which is very vivid by such audio-visual processing.

If Deng Chaoyu Baimei was more or less a ticket as a director before, then this time from the finished product, they must have put in a lot of effort. I heard that Deng Chao gnawed a lot of movie-related books, and he also had a WeChat group with Wu Jing, where he often shared his favorite movies or his experience as a director.

From the performance point of view, this time Deng Chao also put away his previous hip-hop, most of the images in the film are more serious, the shape is a bit reminiscent of his appearance in "Chinese Partner", all a bit of Shanghai style. Although the overall feeling is that he is a little deliberate this time, it is still far better than the Deng Chao who spilled dog blood and exaggerated acting skills before.

Sun Li's performance was a bit of a surprise. In the past, everyone always complained that she could only act on TV, and she couldn't do it as soon as she was on the big screen, but this time she didn't contradict it in the movie, and she acted cute and pleasant. Maybe this is the magic of real CP, and the real life husband also plays two people in the movie, can there be no tacit understanding? Although the "master mother" she played still has not got rid of the "border" character of a good wife and good mother, the character's love, tolerance and understanding of her husband is indeed touching.

In addition, I have to mention the five actors who play the "Five Tiger Generals" in the film, and their performances are very wonderful and convincing. I heard that I practiced table tennis hard for a long time before filming, so I was able to restore the game scene well.

Xu Weizhou, who played Bai Minhe, painted his face black in order to get close to the prototype, so that Yi Bloomjun did not find out that this was Xu Weizhou from beginning to end, and he was suddenly shocked until the end credits.
