Story:upper/better/previous/a surnameIn the early 1990s, the China table tennis men’s team was at a low ebb, and Cai Zhenhua (Deng Chao), who was the head coach of men’s table tennis at that time, was ordered to form a new team to lead Ma Wenge, Wang Tao, Ding Song, Liu Guoliang and Kong Linghui. After a period of hard training, he finally fought back and returned to the top in the 1995 Tianjin World Table Tennis Championships.
Reveal the past of the national ball
The film named after the word "China" seems to be born for the National Day screen. It is a movie that can instantly ignite the blood of the people. The whole process of preparation, shooting and production of this story is inseparable from a character — — The film’s director and starring Deng Chao.
He picked up the guide tube for the fourth time, and selected the most ups and downs in the history of table tennis in China for all sports fans and even the audience in China.
When it comes to table tennis, young audiences will think that China has an ace teacher who can win almost all the prizes in the World Table Tennis Championships and the Olympic Games.
However, the film "China Table Tennis Fight Back" did not aim the story at these glittering achievements, and even did not set the story background in 1981, the most brilliant year of table tennis. In that year, China table tennis won all the gold medals in the World Table Tennis Championships, and the title of "Dream Team" was born.
China table tennis team won seven world champion commemorative stamps, which were issued in 1981.
Nor did it set the story in 2008, which impressed the audience the most. At the Beijing Olympic Games that year, Guoping won all the gold medals in all events, and there were many shocking scenes of three five-star red flags rising at the same time at the award ceremony.
On the contrary, the movie "China Ping-Pong Strikes Back" sets the story background in the 1990s, which was the darkest time for men’s table tennis in China.
Since the China team was completely annihilated at the World Table Tennis Championships in Dortmund in 1989, it fell to the seventh place at the World Table Tennis Championships in Chiba in 1991, and failed at the World Table Tennis Championships in Gothenburg in 1993. Faced with doubts from all sides, Cai Zhenhua, then the head coach of China men’s table tennis, was ordered to form a new team, namely Ding Song, Ma Wenge, Wang Tao, Liu Guoliang and others who were later called "Five Tiger Generals".
As early as five years ago, in the script development stage, Deng Chao and Yu Baimei chose these characters in this period as the core of the story after repeatedly soliciting the opinions of table tennis experts. "The most important reason is that this story has a very strong and unique drama. Compared with the dominant position in most periods in the history of table tennis in China, this process from the trough to the peak in the story will inspire more people."
Deng Chao, as a director, is constantly trying new propositions, from the establishment of the style of Deng’s hi-fi drama to the healing attribute of focusing on warmth and inspiring dreams.
China Ping-Pong is a brand-new territory adapted from a true story, showing the stadium and sportsmanship. How Deng Chao shows the greatest charm of sports stories "unyielding" and "fearless" is another selling point of the film.
Self-polishing Deng Chao
The important task of leading the film also falls to Deng Chao, who has rich performance experience. From the actor’s point of view, Deng Chao, who has been debuting for more than 20 years, can always polish himself into the most suitable shape according to the different characteristics of each movie role.
He can play Shao Qing, a thoughtful Dali Temple,
Turned into a gloomy and kind Xin Xiaofeng,
He can be the unrestrained Xu Tailang,
But also in the sub-decoration form, personality completely different sub-danger and state.
Now, it is a brand-new challenge to play Cai Zhenhua, the coach in China Ping-Pong.
A figure who can bear a heavy burden and provoke the future of table tennis in China, who has been written into the history of table tennis, needs Deng Chao to try to figure out his manner, habits and even thinking mode. After challenging different types of roles, Deng Chao faced the biggest challenge in his acting career — — Play a real person.
With the help of Yu Baimei, a friend, and Sun Li, a lover, Deng Chao can completely immerse himself in the role and witness the ups and downs of the national table tennis arena at that time from the perspective of himself and the coach.
"China Table Tennis" and "Coach" adopted a similar perspective, thus getting a more macro perspective, and because of the emotional integration of the coach, the table tennis team has a more grounded temperature.
Back in 1991, when the storm was coming, Cai Zhenhua made such a speech in the final chapter of the inaugural speech of the coach.
"Maybe our coaches and players will go through the most muddy part of the long road of table tennis in China, but we will get out of this mud and rush to the light. Perhaps history will mercilessly leave us in the darkness before this light, but we still feel gratified and proud. As long as we get out of the mud, it will make the latecomers meet the light, and I am willing to be the paving stone on this muddy road. "
After seven years of low ebb, Guoping once again stands at the top of the world table tennis world.
What "China Table Tennis" wants us to remember is that every glory and every flash moment in the current national table tennis arena is closely related to the "mud" that we have passed.
On the evening of October 2nd, witness the glorious moment of Guoping together on the screen!
