On December 1, the movie “Life Events” starring Zhu Yilong was released with a preview and poster. It was officially announced that it will be officially released on April 2, 2022. In the fixed-file poster, Mo Sanmei (played by Zhu Yilong) and Wu Xiaowen (played by Yang Enyou) are sitting side by side on the threshold of the “Shang Tian” funeral shop. The atmosphere of the city is strong. The simple sentence “Thank you, warm me” reflects the film. Warm and touching tone. The film is produced by director Han Yan and directed by Liu Jiangjiang. In terms of starring, in addition to Zhu Yilong, Wang Ge, Liu Lu, Luo Jingmin, and Yang En also joined the film.
The movie “Life Events” tells the story of the funeral director Mo Sanmei, who met the orphan Wu Xiaowen during a funeral shortly after being released from prison. The appearance of Xiaowen unexpectedly changed his attitude towards career and life. It is completely different from the sense of confrontation between the two people in the hand-painted concept poster that dislikes each other and collides with each other. In the finalized poster released this time, the third brother played by Zhu Yilong and Xiaowen played by Yang En sit side by side. The atmosphere is full of joy and warmth.
A lot of the image details of the concept poster are restored: Xiaowen’s “Nezha Same Style” hairstyle is eye-catching, playful and cute; the third brother has a round-inch hairstyle, wearing a floral shirt, and also wearing a gold bracelet. Zhu Yilong restored this in depth. The frenzied funeral director has also subverted the classic role he previously created, full of freshness.
In the preview, the third brother angrily scolded Xiaowen for running around in the middle of the night, but under his sullen tone, he could not hide the fear of losing Xiaowen. Xiaowen unexpectedly said with tears in his eyes: “My father is Mo Sanmei, and I live in Going to heaven at No. 73, Huai’an Road, Yuhua District, Yanjiang City, I will not lose it.” The third brother burst into tears instantly. In the short 30-second preview, the characters are full of emotional tension. The street lights and dialect lines all set the basic tone of the market for the film, pointing to the warmth and redemption of the little people on the margins.
The movie “Life Events” is produced by Han Yan. He has been cultivating realistic themes for many years, and his work “Get Out!” “Mr. Tumor” and “Send You A Little Red Flower” all show reflection and cherishment of life. The young director Liu Jiangjiang has been engaged in the funeral industry and has studied journalism and law. He has nearly ten years of experience in the production of livelihood programs. He not only has the natural advantage of directing funeral themes, but also has a nuanced observer perspective.
In the trailer, “Yanjiang City”, the address of Heaven in the trailer, is a combination of the names of Han Yan and Liu Jiangjiang, full of warmth and details in the universe. The movie “Life Events” presents the creative team’s attitude towards death and thinking about life, and is a masterpiece of healing.
