The process is reality, the ending is just an ideal. It is said that Xu Zheng, Shen Teng and Wei Xiang are the most recognizable mainland comedians. I wonder if there is any controversy. A comedian like Xu Zheng, who has such a distinctive style, has acted in several good movies and then became a director. He just can't help wanting to bring some sense of value.

How could Xu Zheng not know that there would be tearing in this film?

Sometimes we can't pay too much attention to the content itself, but the process and method of a conversation, just like a psychological consultation. Sometimes the method and attitude of the discussion can explain the problem. This has nothing to do with whether Xu Zheng has experienced life. I don't agree that an actor must experience life. This is a bit far-fetched. How do the leading actors of Emperor Wu of Han and Yongzheng Dynasty experience life? Do they travel through time? How do many actors who play marginal characters experience life, such as Wang Chuanjun and "Dying to Survive" and even Xu Zheng and "Dying to Survive".

Ultimately, it's all imagined reality.

"Reverse Life" is a cowardly title, especially since it makes the yellow outfit so recognizable, as if you can gain some power by putting the hard-working workers in the front. Do they really need you to speak for them? I have encountered this scene more than once, where the delivery guy cursed the administrator of the platform while using the hands-free mode, and cursed it to collapse soon. They will speak up themselves.

It can be pre-set about the basic direction of the story, especially the emotional direction of the story. I don't really agree with the idea that rich directors make money by filming poor lives. Artistic production (let's assume that all creations are artistic production) is itself a kind of imagination and reproduction. Those audiences who say that directors are superior, are they sure that they really understand the life of deliverymen? To put it another unfriendly word, how many deliverymen will buy tickets to see "Reverse Life" to see if it is filming their lives. Quan Hongchan said: What you ask... Who wouldn't be tired!

Is the life of Xu Zheng, a highly educated middle-aged deliveryman, a typical life of a deliveryman? How can you tell that he has to rely on this to make a living, including the basic fact that he is a full-time wife? Being a deliveryman is a means, not an end.

This is a flattering and opportunistic decision. How many stories about takeaway boys have you seen in comedy shows? How many are comedies? Which one is not sensational in the end? Which one has a little bit of irony, even if it clicks on what we call the "platform". So the situation of "Reverse Life" is predictable. In fact, we can even say that most of the time, we don't have as much compassion, empathy and sense of justice as we think we do. "Reverse Life" is also consuming a symbol, no matter what this symbol represents in your heart.

The above is actually not the point. And judging from the current box office trend, even if "Reverse Life" is comparable to "Decryption", it still makes a profit by selling 400 to 500 million RMB because it does not invite John Cusack, who is paid in US dollars, and there are too many high-tech products. The cost is well controlled, although Xin Zhilei is the popular boss lady of Huanghe Road. Here comes the point. Not counting the "Me and My" series, the last directorial film "Lost in Russia" directed by Xu Zheng was sold to the platform for 630 million yuan during the 2020 Spring Festival. In fact, according to the distribution ratio, this number is so beautiful that it cannot be added.

The director of Lost on Journey is not Xu Zheng, but Lost on Journey: Thailand, Lost in Hong Kong and Lost in Russia are the true level of Xu Zheng as a screenwriter and director. Hey, My Little Pony, No Man’s Land, Dying to Survive and Love Myth, especially the latter two that made Xu Zheng shine and almost become a performing artist, are the blessings of Xu Zheng as an actor. What I mean is that for an audience who is going to watch Life in the Past, Dying to Survive and Love Myth are two illusions.

Xu Zheng, the ceiling for being a director is not too high.

But I definitely didn't say that Xu Zheng is not a good actor.

And I want to say that among the top 30 movies in the history of Chinese box office, no matter what the evaluation criteria are, "Dying to Survive" is definitely one of the top three, or even better; the life-style comedy "Love Myth" should also give Xu Zheng an award for Best Actor. Life-style, yes, it happens to be something that "Reverse Life" basically does not have. To put it bluntly, it is hypocrisy. In addition, why is Jia Bing everywhere! (Jiang Nannan)
