Special feature of 1905 film network Known by netizens as the real "wandering ball" in the Spring Festival file, the film was originally scheduled to be released on the first day of the New Year’s Day, but it was postponed to the third day for special reasons. After losing its first-hand advantage, it was attacked by two "giants" during the schedule. On the fourth day of the New Year’s Day, when the main producer created a live broadcast, the official announcement was postponed again and announced that it would be postponed to February 17. At present, the film has been shown, with Douban scoring 7, Cat’s Eye and Taobao Film scoring over 9. So what are the unknown stories behind the storm, a film that embodies the painstaking efforts of the main creator for many years? Can the filmmakers create another miracle when the table tennis team counterattacks the Jedi?
As a strong competitor of the Spring Festival, the film suddenly released a statement on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, announcing the postponement of the release. I believe this is a difficult decision for everyone in the creative team. Xiao Li, the host, recalled what she saw at Hengye Film and Television Company at that time. The phone kept ringing and everyone was very busy. Ma Shuang, the producer of "China Table Tennis Fight Back", said: "When we are ready to make a statement, this decision is actually extremely difficult, but we must control our emotions and not be knocked down by temporary difficulties. It is true that the film is very different from expectations. While watching the market, we are very complicated." Ma Shuang accompanied the film for 1825 days: "Still happy, no matter what the final result is, it is actually very happy and satisfied to be filmed."
"China Ping-Pong: The Jedi Strikes Back" will be released on February 17th, which will bump into Marvel Comics’s works after four years. Choosing this day to compete with the master, first of all, I believe that the power in the work, like the slogan of the film, is dedicated to the people who are not optimistic, because in and out of the play, there are a group of people who are not optimistic and ordinary forces that support the film to the end. When the film was withdrawn, Xuanfa’s colleagues cried in the office for a day, blaming themselves for not doing well enough, so that the audience did not understand the film.
The person who is not optimistic in the film has a coach. He is a coach who has never won a singles championship. Everyone is not optimistic that the team led by him can recapture swaythling cup in two years. There are older athletes close to 30 years old; There are also players with high myopia. Everyone pooled their money to buy a pair of contact lenses before he can play. It is in such an underappreciated and extremely difficult track that they ran out of their own lives. It is also such a spirit that people in and out of the play are always waiting for the moment of "Jedi counterattack" when facing difficulties.
I like this sentence in the film very much, dedicated to the people who are not optimistic, where I fell and where I got up; Where I lost the ball, where I won it back.
The film’s creative team carried out the spirit of "Jedi counterattack", and made a comeback on another day, fighting bravely, but it was not the biggest difficulty that the film encountered to withdraw the file and be attacked by a blockbuster. The earliest test happened in the early stage of the film, because it involved real events, and the creative team needed to find the prototype of the story to sign the authorization. This was not the authorization of one person, but everyone in the team at that time. In addition, the creative staff also need to explain the artistic processing parts of the film one by one, not to vilify and dwarf the characters, but to be dramatic.
Ma Shuang mentioned that it was not easy to contact Mr. Ding Song: "He didn’t answer the phone, and he signed the authorization of the real person at that time. He said that I read your script, and we liked it very much. At home, my daughter also read it, and she said on the ground, Dad, you never celebrate your birthday. Ding Song told her daughter that movies are movies, and truth is truth. I was moved for the first time. He understands what your career is, because for sports films, it is difficult to deal with the relationship between real characters and drama, but in this film, we have received the support of many prototype characters. This support is the most important support point for the project to persist for five years. "
Ma Shuang also remembers the scene of interviewing Wang Tao at that time: "He talked for more than three hours, and finally his mouth was thirsty. I said to pour you a glass of water. He said that he didn’t need to pour water, so he finished the story first. His last game, betting on him, he said that the 50-meter road he walked seemed to have finished his life, and there was no way to face it calmly. During that game, he saw a piece of red cloth floating in the gym. He said that you must shoot it. Many people said shoot it before, but it just didn’t happen. I have received too much trust, support, care and companionship, which are also the unseen parts behind the movie. "
It is also because of the support of the story prototype that the film is full of the power of truth and courage. After watching the film, the "Five Tiger Generals" in real life asked each other how many times they cried. For the ordinary audience, in fact, you can not just watch it as a sports film. The film shouted a slogan: "You can’t kill Xiaoqiang before you become a big devil!" " When the audience is faced with difficulties and encounters a low point in life, they may gain strength in the film and find the spirit to meet difficulties.
"I was the first audience to watch" China Table Tennis Jedi Counterattack ".On that day, I sat in the last row and found that no one took out their mobile phones. For more than two hours, everyone was mobilized and watched the film."
"This movie, I will definitely take the football team to see it all. Basketball player xin li cried twice, and I was more than her once."
"It’s hard to let the sportsmanship influence these next generation of young people."
Time goes back to April 16, 2018, when Ma Shuang was at a low point in his life and faced with the choice of whether to continue making movies. Many people around said that this project could not be done, and even the partners in the team questioned it, asking Ma Shuang why she was doing this every day. Did you ever think that it could not be done one day? Ma Shuang mentioned: "I told him that if I couldn’t do it, I wouldn’t do it. Later, because of this sentence, he could put down 90% of the work at hand and help me do it. That kind of belief is just like the power conveyed by the film itself. The world will give up on you. Do you want to give up on yourself? In the face of difficulties, we must have a mentality to meet it. I think the film itself can bring this power to everyone. "
I hope the audience can find some light and give some courage to those who are facing the low point of their lives in China Ping-Pong, which will be the best result of the film. I look forward to every audience, using a movie ticket to test the value of "China Table Tennis Jedi Counter-Strike".
