On August 2, the realistic film "Reverse Life" held its "Good Luck Direct" premiere in Beijing. Screenwriter, director, producer, and leading actor Xu Zheng and a group of actors including Xin Zhilei, Wang Xiao, Feng Bing, Ding Yongdai, Ding Jiali, and Jia Bing all appeared to share their creative experience and feelings. The film will be released nationwide on August 9.

"Reverse Life" tells the story of Gao Zhilei (Xu Zheng), a middle-level manager of a large Internet company, who lost his job in middle age. With the support of his wife Xiao Ni (Xin Zhilei) and his family, he regained his courage and confidence and became a food delivery man. Starting from a new starting point, Gao Zhilei, who shuttled through the streets and alleys of the city, met a group of like-minded "knight" partners on the road, deeply experienced the warmth and warmth of the world, and redefined the new direction of life.

It is reported that in order to show the real group of deliverymen on the big screen, the crew conducted a lot of field visits in the early stage of creation, including interviews and observations of deaf and mute deliverymen and female deliverymen. "Everyone is actually familiar with the food delivery industry, but unfamiliar with it. I often order food delivery, but it may be just a matter of moving my fingers to hand over to the deliveryman. In this movie, I hope to provide an immersive experience, take the audience to run orders, and see the life of a deliveryman in a day." Xu Zheng said at the premiere.

"Gao Zhilei, played by me, has an ordinary family with elderly and young children. He has to shoulder the burden of life in the face of common problems such as the elderly's medical treatment, the children's schooling, and the family's mortgage repayments. We hope to convey positive energy through this story. Whether in the family or at the express station, everyone is protecting and watching over each other. Everyone yearns for a happy life. In fact, what we need to do is to accept and affirm ourselves. No matter how difficult the real situation is, we still have to see hope." Xu Zheng said.

Talking about the heroine Xin Zhilei, Xu Zheng recalled that during the preparation period, he was deeply touched by her performance in the hit drama "Flower". "Zhilei is a goddess in the drama, with a 'glorious beauty'. When I invited her, I told her that I know you have always wanted to be a powerful actress, and Mrs. Gao in "Reverse Life" is such an opportunity. You may not wear any makeup in the play, and appear in the film without makeup. Sure enough, she was very happy to accept this challenge." In this regard, Xin Zhilei said that the role of Xiao Ni she played was a role she had never played before, "She is another powerful woman in life, and she deserves to be seen by everyone."

Wang Xiao, who plays the delivery man "Lao Kou", recalled that he received a "small essay" from Xu Zheng before filming began. "I had a day's work at the time, so I didn't dare to read it, fearing that my mood would be too turbulent after reading it. He wrote a sentence at the end of the letter, saying that if you are willing to come, then come. If you are not willing, just reply to me with two words 'next time', without a long reply. I think the director is a very interesting person, and it is worth cherishing to be able to work with an interesting person."

Feng Bing, who plays the delivery man "Dahei" in the film, continues his image of "Lao Mo" in "Kuang Bi". Previously, Feng Bing was recognized while delivering food in Shanghai, and a short video of passers-by shouting "I want to eat fish" went viral on the Internet. "Actors are a passive profession, but we are very active in our own world. After the director told me about this role in October last year, I went to Shandong and Inner Mongolia to deliver food. Later I learned that the movie was shot in Shanghai. The different regional culture required me to experience life again. Our crew is a fighting collective that can fight and win."

Ding Yongdai plays Gao Zhilei's father in the film, and he had to portray the state of the character after a stroke for a long time. He said, "In my life, there are such patients in the families of relatives and colleagues. I have come into contact with them and they are not unfamiliar. I acted a little too much at the beginning, and the director asked me not to try so hard. Our crew is like a family. Driven by this warm atmosphere, my performance has become more and more natural." Xu Zheng joked, "In Gao Zhilei's family, Mr. Ding Yongdai and Ms. Ding Jiali, who play my parents, and my wife Xin Zhilei, are all actors from Northeast China. We are actually a 'Northeast family'."

As the "funny guy" in "Reverse Life", Jia Bing, who plays the role of Zhu, the stationmaster of the express station, did not change his funny nature on the scene. When the host asked him if Director Xu Zheng was one of his mentors in his acting career, Jia Bing immediately said seriously: "How can he be one of them? In the movie, he is the only one. This is a very realistic movie. On the set, I saw that everyone's performance was very different from the state in the comedy, especially Brother Xu Zheng. There was a scene where Gao Zhilei came to the express station to apply for a job. At first, I looked down on him as an urban elite and thought that he could not do this job. Until he said that his family had to live, I suddenly became a 'tear bag'."

During the on-site interactive session, the creators also gave each other the "five-star praise" in their hands and loudly encouraged the audience: "Everyone who works hard to live against the wind deserves a five-star praise! I hope that this unexpected good luck in life and the strength to start again can reach the hearts of every audience who has watched the movie "Reverse Life"."
