This year's National Day stall "traffic jam" is serious, large areas are gathered, and the competition can be described by the word fierce.
But I never expected that in this case, a small-budget movie could even emerge after it was released.
- "Arriving Home at One O'Clock"
Relying on the starring Liu Haoran, Peng Yuchang, Yin Fang, three young starring, it and "My Hometown and Me", "Jiang Ziya", "Win the Championship", "Vanguard" tiger mouth to eat.
On the first day of screening on October 4, in the case of insufficient scheduling, it still won 25 million box office, Douban scored 7.4 points, and word of mouth and "My Hometown and Me" tied for the first place in the National Day file, becoming a dark horse.
Pi Ge watched this film for the first time, and he was excited, maybe we will witness the "black swan event" of the National Day file together.
(Black swan event refers to the occurrence of rare and unpredictable things that change the overall situation)
01、
A youth edition of The Chinese Partner
The director of this film is the young director Xu Hongyu, but the executive producer is the Chen Kexin we are familiar with, such a combination is similar to "Manslaughter", "Beneficiary", the executive producer is the real person, "Home at One Point" is a typical Chen Kexin style film.
The film review tells the story of three young people starting a business, one is responsible for express delivery, one is responsible for e-commerce operations, and one is dedicated to growing coffee beans, and the three of them have experienced points and finally pushed Pu'er coffee to the world.
One look at this plot to understand that this is a copy of Chen Kexin's "Chinese Partner", but its protagonist is younger, and the story it tells is more fashionable: e-commerce, outlet, express delivery, live streaming with goods...
In a clip in the film that directly contradicts "The Chinese Partner", Liu Haoran said: "Someone told me not to do business with friends. The companion asked him who said it, and Liu Haoran replied, "Three teach English."
Although it is an old bottle of new wine, the whole film gives people a good look, light comedy, moderate chicken soup, skillful rhythm change, just the right soundtrack, several combined together, even if the plot of the film itself is not fresh, but still gives people a very neat and comfortable feeling.
By the way, the soundtrack of this film is Chen Guangrong, no wonder the soundtrack of this film has given me goosebumps several times.
Through this film, I saw the heavy Chen Kexin.
During the filming of "Win the Championship", Chen Kexin was constrained by some pressure, and it was very rare for the film to have this degree of completion in the end.
"Arriving Home at One Point" is a relaxed movie, revealing a relaxed atmosphere everywhere, and the weightless Chen Kexin is back.

Performances by Peng Yuchang and Liu Haoran
Mention the protagonist of this film, Peng Yuchang, also to talk about the "Win the Championship", in that film, Peng Yuchang played the young Chen Zhonghe was controversial, he was once pushed to the cusp of the storm.
Some people questioned his acting skills, and some people directly said that his appearance began to "huang bo".
But in "Home at One Point", the best Peng Yuchang is back!
Among the many post-90s actors, Pi Ge is most optimistic about Peng Yuchang.
Circulated on the Internet a performance video of Peng Yuchang, a crying scene, just 5 seconds, the young man had red eyes, 5 minutes of play, he was affectionate and lush, this is talent.
In this film, Peng Yuchang and Liu Haoran played the opponent play, and after watching the whole film, Peng Yuchang's acting skills have ranked in the first echelon of the new generation.
The movie starring Liu Haoran broke through 10 billion yuan at the box office, his appearance conditions are better, and he also occupies the C position in the poster, although the acting skills of past works are also good, but there is obviously still a lot of way to go.
The most impressive scene was the quarrel between the three partners, Liu Haoran used a large paragraph of lines, desperately shouting to accumulate the effect, Peng Yuchang played by the guy returned a look and caught it.
Both actors are leaders in the new generation, Peng Yuchang has achieved good results, Liu Haoran can afford the box office, but also need to practice internal skills in the challenges of different types of roles.
03、
It is also a digression of "My Hometown and Me"
Although "Arriving Home at One Point" tells an entrepreneurial story, the final foothold is still in the word hometown.
Because of the local complex, the rural guy played by Peng Yuchang gave up his job in Beijing and returned to his hometown in Yunnan to start a business.
Also because of the local complex, the urban youth played by Liu Haoran followed the doctor's advice to come to the countryside of Yunnan, eager to cure his insomnia in the local atmosphere.
Or because of the local complex, the coffee youth played by Yin Fang grows the best coffee in the most rustic way and guards it like guarding his own homeland.
The three of them came together because of the local complex, and then fell apart because of the local complex, the coffee youth in the film will ask after others have tasted his coffee, probably means that you can smell the forest wind? This kind of mysterious and mysterious thing is actually nostalgia.
A cup of coffee that can drink nostalgia, it is no wonder that it can be sold all over the world.
Such a film about hometown, the whole film is full of topics, Pi Ge really suspects that it is a foreign feature film in "My Hometown and Me", and compared with the five stories in "Hometown", it is not inferior.
However, "Arriving Home at One Point" is by no means perfect. Pigo also has three concerns about it.
First, the film's advertising implantation is too much, all of which are hard implants, which destroys the mood, which makes the whole film look like an e-commerce promotional film.
Second, this film is too flattering, a film almost added the popular elements to the time, what e-commerce live broadcast, what online shopping, even Li Jiaqi pulled a cameo, the creator sewed these elements very well, but made the film lack of a real power.
To put it seriously, "Arriving Home at One Point" is essentially a "stitched monster movie", and the audience feels a shallow level of pleasure, and it is difficult to have the motivation to taste it after watching it.
Third, the protagonist's path to entrepreneurship is too simple.
A courier brother can make the white-collar workers in the workplace return to the countryside with a single word, help the villagers to buy some daily necessities online to become bigger and stronger, walk around the village can meet coffee geniuses, and take an international award without a word.
The three poor boys seem to have goldfingers, many problems are easily solved by opening their mouths and shouting slogans, the so-called setbacks are also like itching in the boots, and finally looking at the three boys' success, there is a sense of violation of the child pretending to be an adult.
Compared with "Chinese Partner", this film is more like a network cool article, a lot of deafening things do not ask questions, stop at the cool point, some pity.
After analyzing the three joys and three worries, it can be said that there are great variables in the box office trend of "Arriving Home at One Point", but the traditional National Day file, the champion and runner-up are 3 billion in volume, this year's "Hometown" and "Jiang Ziya" have difficulty in reaching this goal, so the cake that is evenly distributed naturally has the opportunity to compete.
Word of mouth determines the market, and "Home at One Point" has a great chance to counterattack in the next few days.
