The film is produced by Guan Hu, directed by Jiang Jiachen, written by Wu Tao, and starred by Li Jiuxiao and Wang Qianyuan. It tells the story of Liu Yonggan (played by Li Jiuxiao), the second-generation tofu pudding maker known as the "Shapingba Bolt", who gathers brothers from all walks of life including truck drivers (played by Wang Qianyuan) to form a grassroots rugby team, and everyone works hard together to fight for the Eternal Bowl championship.

The film takes "ambitious middle-aged people" as the entry point, and naturally combines grassroots middle-aged people with real people and real events. Through the down-to-earth narrative and moving dream melody, it shows the audience a different group of little people.

“Restore real scenes and experiences”

The character prototype highly praised the film

It is understood that the prototype of the film is a team formed 10 years ago. The prototype of Liu Yonggan played by Li Jiuxiao is Liu Yuanfeng, who is the founder of the dock workers team. In 2012, with his love and enthusiasm, he created the team as a student and began to recruit members; Li Yanshi played by Wang Qianyuan is a combination of the two prototype characters, Wenxue and Xie Tongyu. Wenxue and Xie Tongyu both have their own jobs and joined the rugby team after seeing the recruitment information.

The prototype of the fat baby in the film is Zeng Xi, who is a little older and plays the role of the big brother in the team. He takes care of the communication and relationship between the team members. The prototype of Ma Nong, played by Li Xueqin, is Hu Wenting. As the "glue" of the team, she is responsible for conveying the coach's requirements, arranging itineraries, logistics supplies, etc., and her main job is a product manager.

Today, the five prototypes came to the premiere in Chongqing, and brought helmets used by their teammates and thank-you letters from the end of previous seasons. "These items bear witness to the brotherhood between our team members, and everything is still vivid in my mind. The scenes of brothers supporting each other in the movie are very real, as if I have returned to the time when I worked hard with my teammates. I am very moved." Hu Wenting said.

"I got goose bumps when watching the movie, it was like a dream coming true." After watching the movie, Liu Yuanfeng was also very emotional. He said that he was surprised to see that something he insisted on and loved was made into a movie. Many plots in the movie, such as the conflict between Brother Yan and his wife over basketball practice, highly restored their real experiences. He was very grateful to the creative team for insisting on making this movie, so that the upright brotherhood and unyielding spirit of Chongqing people were presented on the screen.

The film vividly interprets the "Chongqing Spirit"

The entire film was shot in Chongqing, using the Chongqing dialect

The on-site director Jiang Jiachen revealed that when he first learned about this story, he was deeply moved by the passion, enthusiasm, and straightforwardness of the Chongqing brothers, as well as the tenacious, optimistic Chongqing spirit and the fiery team spirit. "I think I should be like them and bravely take the first step to make this story into a movie to express the passionate emotions of the Chongqing brothers."

Lead actors such as Li Jiuxiao and Wang Qianyuan also said that the feeling this movie brought them was just like the name of the movie, "collision", daring to charge and dare to break through, which is a spirit full of courage and unwillingness to admit defeat. As the lines in the movie say, "Chongqing people are strong, can endure hardships, can stand up, and never admit defeat", this is also a necessary factor for this story to happen in Chongqing. I hope that the film can convey the positive attitude of pursuing dreams and working hard to change the current situation in life, and tell everyone that no matter what profession or where they are, as long as they are strong, can endure hardships, can stand up, and never admit defeat, anyone can shine on the stage of their dreams.

It is reported that in the recently released trailer, the rugby team led by Liu Yonggan made a fancy appearance. Everyone walked to the field in uniform uniforms, looking like professional athletes. The overall style was full of vitality and passion, but also humorous and witty comedy. In order to restore the real story to the greatest extent, the film was shot entirely in Chongqing, and a lot of Chongqing dialect was used, which was full of Chongqing flavor. On August 23, "Clash" will be released nationwide, so stay tuned.
