"It Doesn't Seem to Be So Hot" tells the story of a frustrated basketball coach who leads a group of mentally handicapped but skilled "young people" to challenge for the basketball championship. It is understood that the film uses young actors to guide the society's attention to the young people of heart. At the premiere event, the audience cheered continuously, and there was no lack of moving tears.
The film will be officially released on September 28, and a specially made accessible version for the visually impaired will be launched at the same time, which fully embodies the concept of "equality, participation and sharing", allowing the visually impaired community to experience the care given by people from all walks of life and integrate into social life more confidently.
The trough coach paired with the young man, and the "super luxury lineup" appeared with laughter
"It Doesn't Seem to Be So Hot" is adapted from the Spanish comedy film "Basketball Champion". Wei Xiang plays Wei Guozheng, a basketball coach who is extremely obsessed with victory, who is forced to enter a special school to teach because of his violation of the law.
Star coach Wei Guozheng, who has the glory of "seven consecutive championships", pursues the concept of "playing is to win". During the trough of his career, he met a group of players who loved basketball but "had a negative basketball ability", and was "forced" to train a group of young people with no basketball skills in a limited time to participate in the Special Olympics Basketball League.
In the league, Coach Wei led the players to sing all the way and overcome difficulties. At the time of the final, he encountered his lifelong rival and was deeply obsessed with winning and losing. And his joyful daily life with the young people of his heart eventually gave him the strength to achieve liberation and redemption.
The film was densely packed and the laughter was silky, and it was full of joy, which made the scene cheer endlessly. In addition to laughter, the film touched the audience with sincerity and healing, making the audience laugh and cry, and the atmosphere was full.
At the premiere, in addition to the main creators of the film, many industry guests and stars were present to support. Everyone turned into tap water and expressed their love and support for the movie. The ultra-luxurious guest group even turned into a "quawkwah group" on the spot, praised the movie, especially the young people, and shared their happiness and emotion with the audience.
The young man with acting skills appeared on the screen, relying on earning his first salary in life
During the viewing process, many viewers did not realize that among the young characters of the heart of "Home of Benevolence", the three roles of Leliang, Duo and Jianguo were all played by young people with no acting experience.
They have autism and Down syndrome, respectively. At the premiere scene, several young people also arrived at the scene accompanied by their parents and sincerely interacted with the audience. Yue Liang's mother, who spoke as a representative, said that her 24-year-old son received his first real salary in this movie.
Compared with physical disabilities, the employment of young people with hearts must face a higher threshold. Yue Liang's mother said, "There are 25.8 million people with intellectual disabilities in the country, of which more than 12 million are autistic, and this group is still in the corner, and not many people know about them. Many things are not that we do not understand, but that we do not understand. A lot of things are not that we are inhumane, but that we do not know. I very much hope that through this film, the people of the whole country can know our group, understand our group, give us tolerance and support, and give them a better environment for children like them to grow up. ”
Xing Wenxiong even called on all walks of life to open their arms to the young people at the scene, give them more opportunities for social contact, and promised that he would invite the young people to join in the next two plays, "Everyone has their own brilliance, as long as they have the opportunity, they will be seen by everyone." This is our greatest happiness as creators, I and all our friends at the 'House of Benevolence', thank you for your support, thank you! ”
Launch barrier-free versions of movies to promote the trend of helping the disabled
The greater significance of the film is to bring strength to more disabled people. Yang Cong, Deputy Secretary-General of the China Association for the Promotion of the Cause of the Disabled, said, "The film advocates the trend of helping the disabled, encourages and motivates the self-esteem, self-confidence, self-improvement and self-reliance of the disabled, and vividly publicizes the cause of the disabled. The main creative team not only made a good movie, but also spoke up for the intellectual disability group and gave them more understanding and support. ”
In order to further reduce the restrictions of viewing movies for people with disabilities, when the film is officially released on September 28, it will also launch an accessible version for the visually impaired. In the silent world, let more people with disabilities feel the blood boiling.
Data shows that there are more than 17 million visually impaired people in China who need accessible movies, and it is another group of disabled people who support barrier-free movie theaters.
Du Chengcheng, 37 years old this year, is a "blind movie special" docent in Qingshan District, Wuhan City, and is also a severely disabled person. For her, this is not an easy job: the explanation of a movie often takes 1 to 3 months to prepare, and Du Chengcheng, who cannot sit for a long time, often lies on the bed to write, and changes posture when tired, but she enjoys it.
In April 2018, General Secretary Xi Jinping met Du Chengcheng during an inspection tour of Qingheju Community in Qingshan District, Wuhan. Seeing Du Chengcheng in a wheelchair, the general secretary stepped forward and leaned down, held her hand affectionately, and praised her work as "a very meaningful work."
"All construction undertakings should include the cause of the disabled, and continuously improve the system for protecting the rights and interests of the disabled." General Secretary Xi Jinping has always stressed this. The standard of living of disabled people is a measure of social civilization. In General Secretary Xi Jinping's mind, the cause of the disabled is a "spring cause".
In June 2023, the Barrier-free Environment Construction Law, the first special law formulated by the mainland on barrier-free environment construction, was voted and passed by the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress and officially implemented on September 1. In addition to the "barrier-free" of the material world, people with disabilities need more spiritual faces.
In order to integrate into society and be self-reliant, whether it is Du Chengcheng in the blind film special scene, or Leliang, yes, and Jianguo on the set of "It Doesn't Seem to Be So Hot", they are making efforts far beyond ordinary people to prove their own value and win the respect of others.
As at the summary and commendation meeting of the Beijing Winter Olympics and Winter Paralympics, General Secretary Xi Jinping specifically mentioned a sentence that impressed him: "Just as a visually impaired athlete said on the field: 'I can't see the world clearly, but I want the world to see me.'" ’”
