Beijing, February 27 (Reporter Shangguan Yun) "Flying Life", which was released five years ago, left the audience with an open ending, and the life and death of the actor and the ending became a big suspense.
In 2024, "Flying Life 2" will be released, inheriting the previous work, the director is still Han Han, and it still tells the story of Zhang Chi. As of now, it has received more than 7With a score of 5 points, the box office exceeded 3 billion.
Judging from the above two aspects, "Flying Life 2" has surpassed its predecessor. Some people joked that "Flying Life 2" broke the "curse" of the decline in the reputation of the movie sequel; There are also people who have more feelings than "funny" after watching the movie.
The story of Bayingbrook.
I haven't watched the previous work, but it doesn't affect my understanding of the main plot of "Flying Life 2".
Zhang Chi used to be an excellent racing driver and had a good result in Bayingbrook, but because the lead seal was not found, this result was not recognized, which also led to him under pressure and doubts, and he left the field with an injury.

Later, someone gave him sponsorship, and he felt that it was profitable, so he took Sun Yuqiang and Ji Xing, as well as the talented driver Li Xiaohai, and Liu Xiande, a driving school student who always failed the second subject, to form a team and plan to participate in the last Baying Brook Clara Race.
Because of lack of money, they were able to assemble only three race cars: one for crash tests; One with the best equipment and accessories, for Li Xiaohai to drive; The remaining one Zhang Chi drove by himself, and the configuration was relatively poor.
Initially, Zhang Chi had very low requirements for competition results. The lack of funds and the bad opponents also made Zhang Chi's originally somewhat rekindled racing dream gradually shattered, until he found the lead seal back then and proved his innocence.
After regaining his confidence, Zhang Chi once again drove on the Bayingbrook Circuit, opened his heart knot, and worked with his partner through bad weather, solving various problems created by his opponents, rushing to the finish line, and helping his team win the team championship.
"Mourning" and bloody?
In the evaluation of "Flying Life 2", "hot-blooded" is a high-frequency word. But the first half of the story is actually a bit "mournful", Zhang Chi is a very three-dimensional character, and Shen Teng performed his downfall and persistence.
In order to make a living, Zhang Chi worked as an instructor at a driving school. He learned to calculate, heard that someone was willing to sponsor the team, and knew that the budget of 4 million was not enough, but he still agreed, and planned to be perfunctory, and he didn't want to race with all his strength at first.
When encountering problems, Zhang Chi will make excuses for himself. Li Xiaohai can accurately grasp the critical braking time and easily complete the challenge. He also decided to show his hand, but it turned out to be ugly, and finally buckled the pot on the head of the brake pads.
But Zhang Chi has always been unable to forget the accident in the competition a few years ago, he has been living in the shadows, trying to train by himself, but he overturned while driving, was stuck in the car and couldn't move, and cried bitterly. When he saw someone coming, he held back his tears and pretended to be relaxed.

However, Zhang Chi's love for racing has never been extinguished, and after a few years away from the race, he still knows the rules of the race. After a few setbacks, he and his companions reformulated their plans to fight again.
Towards the end, Zhang Chi drove the scarred car on the track of Bayingbrook, as if he saw the car of five years ago and his young self again, and in an instant, he became one with it, and finally surpassed the results of that year.
This scene was evaluated by the audience as "surpassing himself", and Zhang Chi finally achieved reconciliation with himself.
The helplessness of the adult world.
Regarding the story of "Flying Life 2", Zhang Chi's mentality change has been discussed a lot. Some people say that after watching "Flying Life 2", I saw the helplessness of the adult world.
For example, after feeling the cruelty of life, Zhang Chi chose to compromise, pretending to turn a blind eye to the negative evaluation of the outside world, his face and reputation did not matter, and he became very confused about life, for a very good reason: to do one thing, most of it is to survive.
When forming a team, Zhang Chi needed to rack his brains to raise money, but Manager Ye only needed to chat with the person in charge for a few words, and he could be in a group with Zhang Chi in the collision test as he wished.
It's hard not to be reminded of the almost shout-out: "I respect the rules, but it has to be fair!" ”

While talking about racing, the movie also shows the problems that people may encounter in reality: falling from the peak to the bottom, the psychological gap is huge; Try hard enough, still fail; Some people follow the rules, while others profit from "not following the rules".
In the face of all kinds of troubles, Zhang Chi chose to persist and face it bravely, and moved forward without hesitation. Instead of dwelling on it, it's better to accept it calmly. One of the ways to overcome oneself is purity and persistence.
Comedy" label.
The movie has the label of "comedy", but judging from the lines posted by netizens, what many viewers feel from "Flying Life 2" may not be just "funny".
For example, mention "opportunity". "I've tried countless times and the opportunity will only come once or twice. "There is also unwillingness and relief. "But aren't you all in the past? "It's not in the past, I'm just taking it. ”
Another example: "I can not want grades, but I can't want my innocence." "Many times, people are obsessed with one thing, not simply to gain external recognition, but to give themselves an explanation.
In addition, one of the more controversial points in the film is whether Zhang Chi makes logical sense to finish the race. After all, although he used to be a good racing driver, he is now in poor health, poor racing conditions, and has been interfered with by opponents in the middle of the race, which may make it difficult to complete the race in reality.
There is also a view that this content may be regarded as a dream created by the movie for the audience: after years of tempering, there is still the enthusiasm to do their best for a worthy dream and full of hope. Perhaps, this is what touches people's hearts. (ENDS).
