In 2019, the movie "Flying Life" made a shocking debut.
Director Han Han teamed up with comedian Shen Teng to create a film that was both exciting and hilarious.
The film eventually achieved a box office revenue of more than 1.7 billion, which is also the pinnacle of director Han Han's work.
After 5 years, Han Han once again returned to this year's Spring Festival schedule with the "brake" of "Flying Life 2".
The story line of this sequel is more solid, the humor elements are more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the atmosphere is more enthusiastic.
So far, the box office of the film has exceeded 3.1 billion, ranking 18th in the list of Chinese film history, and Han Han is also among the famous directors in the 3 billion film club.
With the popularity of the movie "Flying Life" series, Han Han also expressed his expectation that the "Flying Spur Series" can continue to develop.
When Han Han expands his territory, his strategy is similar to Chen Sicheng's "Detective Chinatown Series", which focuses on online dramas.
Therefore, when "Flying Life 2" was a big hit, the first spin-off web series of the Flying Spur series, "Flying Life Love", recently started**.
Thanks to the blessing of the "Flying Life" movie series, this web series has also received widespread attention, and the number of pre-orders before the broadcast has exceeded 3 million.
As soon as it aired, the TV series quickly topped the platform's hot list, attracting more than 3.7 million viewers.
Across the network, it has accumulated 218 hot search charts and topped the hot list 23 times in a row.
Judging from word-of-mouth, many viewers in the Douban short comment area gave praise for the compact plot, cool and funny, and the treasure dinner drama.
Some viewers even commented that judging by the plot of the story, it is even more appealing than the movie version.
It seems that after the big screen is completely popular, the passionate "Flying Spur Series" will once again be sought after by the small screen.
Compared with the movie version, what are the unique highlights of the TV series version of "Flying Life"?
After completing the broadcast of 7 episodes in one go, Qingshi felt four words: innovation and inheritance.
First, let's talk about the topic of innovation.
In the TV series version of "Flying Life", Zhang Chi, Lin Zhendong and others are still the protagonists, and the core theme of the show still revolves around racing.
Although the characters in the story and the racing theme are the same, the plot of the drama version shows more creativity and imagination.
The series begins at the end of "Flying Life 1", in order to win the race, Zhang Chi decides not to brake early, as a result, the car slides off the track and falls off a cliff.
In the work "Flying Life 2", Zhang Chi was physically injured after an accident with Bayinbrook and became an instructor at a driving school.
However, the plot of this play has taken a new turn, and the seriously injured Zhang Chi's soul unexpectedly returns to five years ago, and the soul travels to the 21-year-old Lin Zhendong.
Lin Zhendong instantly transformed into Chi Zhendong.
At this moment, Lin Zhendong has not yet become a professional racing driver, he is indeed the rich second generation of Mr. Kobayashi.
Zhang Chi realized that his soul had traveled from the past, so he knew what he was about to encounter.
According to Zhang Chi's recollection, he and the team suffered a downhill race in Ningzhou in 2022, and due to the sudden rainstorm, Zhang Chi slid off the track during the race and lost the chance to win the championship.
After that, he participated in the invitational race of the Master Team in the hope of winning the championship, but unfortunately, he was so frightened by a flock of sheep that he overturned and even broke his leg, causing all the sponsors to flee.
Subsequently, the team members went their separate ways, and Zhang Chi was banned for 5 years for illegal driving, turning from a champion driver to an uncle who set up a stall.
So, in 2022, Zhang Chi decided to go against the sky to save the team, and he first appeared at the competition site in Ningzhou as a "Zhang Chi fan".
Before the start of the race, team manager Lao Ye was told to replace the tires with rain tires. Although Lao Ye was confused, under the pressure of the other party's large sponsorship, she still decided to change the tires.
The results of the race showed that the rain was really pouring down, and the slack who changed the rain tyres showed that he was in water, successfully changing the result of the race and winning the championship.
Thanks to this successful counterattack, Zhang Chi decided to continue to implement his strategy of changing his fate against the sky.
On the one hand, it is frantically providing financial support for the flying spur team.
On the one hand, Lin Zhendong's original plan to build the Devil's 19 Bend was transformed into a training place specially designed for the flying team.
He also made a special visit to Bayingbrook to plant trees to deter Zhang Chi, who might leave the track in five years.
It must be admitted that from the frustrated uncle's soul to the young boss, and in the future, the creative design of the drama version of one body and two souls is really fun.
Qingshi originally thought that this drama would continue to develop according to the model of this cool drama, but the screenwriter made another reversal.
Zhang Chi's soul can't last too long after the crossing, as long as his heartbeat exceeds 120, his soul will return to the present, and the real Lin Zhendong will also return to his body.
In other words, although Zhang Chi has the opportunity to travel to another time and space, the real Lin Zhendong will also come back to cause trouble."
Therefore, Lin Zhendong Bendong five years ago has become the biggest uncertain factor.
At the same time, Zhang Chi also realizes that the ending of the story cannot always be changed.
I was well aware that in the 2022 Everything, I suffered a car accident and broke my leg due to a flock of sheep that suddenly appeared on the track.
Therefore, in Zhang Chi's race, Zhang Chi, who was soul-piercing Lin Zhendong, deliberately chose the wrong direction, causing Zhang Chi to rush off the track and avoid the sheep.
After the race, Zhang Chi lost control during the demonstration of motorcycle skills and accidentally injured Lin Zhendong's leg.
Therefore, whether Zhang Chi can successfully go against the sky is not only the biggest unsolved mystery of the series, but also deeply attracts the attention of the audience.
In terms of the production team, the TV series "Flying Life" also shows a lot of innovation.
Han Han only served as the executive producer of the TV series, and the lineup of directors and actors is completely new.
Directed by November, the director has a brilliant talent for passionate competition and humorous storytelling, and his work "Flying Race" complements his style.
In the choice of actors, he no longer followed the image of Shen Teng's big male protagonist in the movie, but chose two male protagonists.
According to the plot content that is currently being struck, the performances of the male protagonists Hu Xianxu and Wang Yanlin are very good.
Hu Xianxu has appeared in the work "Flying Life 2", and the new generation of car kings he plays shows the temperament of a genius driver.
This time, Hu Xianxu undoubtedly became the central figure and played the role of Lin Zhendong.
Because of the soul-piercing plot in the play, Hu Xianxu actually played two different roles.
In other words, Lin Zhendong is not only himself, but also Zhang Chi, his appearance carries two different souls, so Hu Xianxu needs to show two different states.
Whether it is Lin Zhendong's calm and domineering characteristics, or Zhang Chi's humor after soul piercing, Hu Xianxu's performance is very good.
The directors have praised Hu Xianxu undoubtedly the chosen Lin Zhendong.
Wang Yanlin's role in the play is Zhang Chi.
Although Shen Teng's version of Zhang Chi Zhuyu is ahead, Wang Yanlin's version of the performance is equally eye-catching.
Compared with the loss and decadence in Shen Teng's version, the character he plays is younger and more energetic, perfectly showing the passion and enthusiasm of the racers.
The drama version not only sets up the two male protagonists, but also provides a lot of descriptions for the other members of the team, forming a series of character images.
Yan Hexiang plays the team manager Lao Ye, Kan Qingzi plays the team agent Li Xiaohe, and Qu Zheming plays the navigator Sun Yuqiang.
Each character has a distinct image, which makes the whole plot richer and more appealing.
Next, let's further the topic of the inheritance of the drama version.
Although the lineup and storyline of the bluestone drama are brand new, the audience will feel that there is some kind of similarity with the movie version in the process.
For example, there are just too many laughs.
In the movie version, Han Han showed his unique "cold-style humor" to bring the audience a comprehensive experience, and in the TV series version, jokes are also endless.
In the play, Lin Zhendong is an indifferent young man in daily life, while Zhang Chi is a neurotic person in daily life.
Therefore, when two very different and completely opposed souls are in the same room, the jokes created by "them" are enough to fill the atmosphere of the whole comedy.
The play also cleverly uses contrasts to create many laughing moments.
At the beginning, some people doubted whether he had a car for Zhang Chi, who was about to compete?
Zhang Chi contemptuously stated that his navigator was transporting a brand new car to the competition venue.
Unfortunately, Zhang Chi's car encountered an unexpected incident during the transportation in the next second and was soon slapped in the face.
We can also go back to 5 years ago, when the reporter interviewed Zhang Chi about his preparations for the competition.
Li Xiaohe, the agent of the team, enthusiastically revealed to reporters that Zhang Chi has formulated a set of scientific and healthy diet and fitness plans.
However, when the picture suddenly changes, Zhang Chi is comfortably lying on a chair and playing a game while enjoying the burger.
This kind of plot full of contrasts makes the audience can't help but laugh out loud.
For example, the super burning car race.
In the creation of the Flying Spur series, the racing scene is undoubtedly one of the most attractive parts.
In order to show the tense chase in the racing race more vividly, the show carefully designed 9 real-life scenes with their own characteristics.
On the course, the competitors chose a variety of different terrain features, such as bamboo forests, desolate deserts and high-speed curves, which made the rally show a unique visual appeal.
In view of the filming technology and complexity of the racing scene, the crew used a lot of production resources.
The team designed to shoot racing scenes uses the most advanced camera tools in China.
So, even though it's a web series, the racing scene in it is still full of passion and energy.
During drag racing, the riders demonstrated efficient and skilled hand and foot maneuvering skills, and it did.
It also includes heart-pounding drag racing scenes.
In the play, every shot can make the audience feel the sharp rise of adrenaline, so that the audience can directly experience the tension and excitement of the game.
In the movie, Han Han expressed the emotion of "paying tribute to everyone who loves and dedicates himself", and this theme is also continued in the drama version.
From the title of the drama version of "Flying Life Love", we can clearly feel this.
Zhang Chi showed this deep enthusiasm.
Whether it's five years ago or five years later, his passion for racing remains the same.
Lin Zhendong also showed such deep emotions.
When Lin Zhendong was young, his father accidentally disappeared from the racetrack, which caused his face to change dramatically when he lifted the car.
In order not to grieve his mother, he decided to ban caring-related items in his home and kept his deep feelings for racing deep in his heart.
Although Lin Zhendong seems to be a little resistant to racing on the outside, he is full of passion for it deep down.
Especially after Zhang Chi's soul passed through Lin Zhendong's body, Lin Zhendong gradually realized that he needed to regain his passion and love for racing.
This is exactly the message that the TV series version of "Flying Life" hopes to convey to us through Zhang Chi and Lin Zhendong:
In order to hide the passion in your heart, you must put your heart and soul into it.
Even if there is only one chance left, give it your all to complete that Bayingbrook rally.
Because, the depth of love can rival the passage of time.
This is exactly the way we live and the goal of life in the first place.
Hu Xianxu is speeding through life
