Last year's Qingming file "My Sister" came out of the circle with high reputation. This year, it is expected to reproduce the popularity of the small program. "Life Events" during the schedule will convey the touching healing meaning behind the funeral theme from the perspective of children.

Zhu Yilong subverts the role of the undertaker Mo Sanmei in the film. Judging from the information that has been exposed so far, the lights in the lanes and the lines in Wuhan dialect have set a simple tone for the film, pointing directly to the true feelings of mutual warmth and redemption between the little people on the edge.

The director said, "The film talks about how to live well"

  The movie "Life Events" tells the story of the funeral director Mo Sanmei who met the orphan Wu Xiaowen during a funeral not long after her release from prison. The appearance of Xiaowen unexpectedly changed his attitude towards career and life.

The film is supervised by Han Yan, directed by Liu Jiangjiang, starring Zhu Yilong and starring Yang En as a special friend.

  Yesterday, the creators of the film introduced the warm core of this scarce funeral theme in a special edition.

Han Yan is the producer of the film. He said: "This theme is more suitable for carrying our thoughts on life and death."

The director Liu Jiangjiang grew up in a funeral family. His special life experience gave him a unique understanding of traditional Chinese funeral culture since he was a child. In 2018, he gained script inspiration in a folk collection.

Liu Jiangjiang said frankly: "This movie is not about death, but actually about how to live well."

 Zhu Yilong personally learns the details of the burial and other work

  The reporter learned that during the preparation period, Zhu Yilong, the actor of the funeral director Mo Sanmei, went to the funeral home to collect customs, have in-depth exchanges with the local funeral director, and personally experience and learn the details of the burial.

  Zhu Yilong said with deep feeling that this industry is not so cold, and it can also make everyone feel warm.

  In the film, because of a word of consolation from Mo Sanmei, the orphan Wu Xiaowen begins to believe that the deceased grandmother has become a star in the sky.

This fairy tale-like metaphor not only warms and heals, but also accurately extracts the positive attitude towards life conveyed by the film through the separation of life and death.

Some netizens sighed: "What a unique angle! Telling death makes people feel warm, and I look forward to the story of the funeral director's third brother!"

  Continuing the consistent style of Han Yan

  At the end of October last year, the 4k restored version of the old Japanese film "The Undertaker" was re-screened in theaters in mainland China. This classic Douban film with a score of 8.9 has won dozens of international film festival awards including the Oscar for best foreign language film.

The film tells the story of violinist Dawu Kobayashi, from cellist to mortuary, he is constantly reconciling with his job, with his wife who doesn't understand his work, and with his father who abandoned him.

It was re-released more than 10 years later, and it still caused heated discussions.

  While domestic funeral-themed film and television dramas are rare, the scarcity of "Major Events in Life" seems very precious.

The producer of the film is Han Yan, whose past works such as "Get Out!"

"Tumor Jun", "Animal World" and "Send You a Little Red Flower" are all works of high reputation. Over the years, he has insisted on cultivating realistic themes, and his works all show the reflection and cherishing of life.

"Life Events" will continue Han Yan's consistent style, that is, "reconcile with yourself".

A little girl accidentally broke into Mo Sanmei's bad life, and used all kinds of irony and laughter to reshape Mo Sanmei's outlook on life and values, completing his "big event".

  It is reported that the movie "Life Events" will be released in advance on March 20, March 26, March 27, and April 1, and will be released nationwide on April 2.
