Director Xu Zheng's realistic masterpiece "Reverse Life" has exceeded 200 million yuan in box office revenue in four days since its release on August 9. On the ticket purchasing platform Maoyan, "Reverse Life" received a high score of 9.3 points.
From Lost in Thailand to Dying to Survive, Xu Zheng always brings surprises to the audience. This time, he has set his sights on the group of food deliverymen. The film tells the story of Gao Zhilei, a middle-aged man who chooses to become a food deliveryman after experiencing a double blow to his career and family, and finds his direction in life again during the food delivery process. This seemingly simple story has sparked widespread discussion because of Xu Zheng's portrayal of reality in the film.
Some netizens said: "There is a scene in the trailer where the delivery man played by Xu Zheng stands in front of a high-rise building with fatigue written all over his face. At that moment, I seemed to see myself." Others said: "This movie made me see the hard work of the delivery men. They go through wind and rain every day just to deliver hot meals to us. It is really not easy."
Controversy also ensued, with some people questioning whether Xu Zheng could really understand the hardships of deliverymen and believing that the film was suspected of "consuming suffering."
Xu Zheng did not give much explanation, but just said: "I hope everyone can go to the cinema and feel what this movie wants to express."
