Xu Zheng responds to controversy over "consuming suffering" in "Reverse Life"

The movie "Reverse Life" directed and acted by Xu Zheng is currently in theaters, with a cumulative box office of about 260 million yuan. Since its release, "Reverse Life" has been in the controversy of "consuming suffering". Recently, Xu Zheng responded to the controversy of "consuming suffering" during a roadshow.

Xu Zheng said: "I find it very difficult to make movies now, because it is impossible to make a movie that satisfies everyone. After watching a movie, everyone has different feelings. Different audiences will see different details and have different expectations. But if you criticize a movie without watching it, it is not fair to the movie."

"Retrograde Life" tells the story of Gao Zhilei (played by Xu Zheng), who was once high-spirited and high-spirited. Under the pressure of life, he "stalls" in middle age and deviates from his original life trajectory. The impulsive decision instantly turns him from the "little pride" of his family into the "scraps" of society. However, he never expected that this was only the starting point of his "retrograde life". The continuous changes came like a storm, forcing him to face himself again. When the burden of life really weighed on his shoulders, he chose to become a delivery man and start again from a new starting point. Gao Zhilei, who shuttled through the streets and alleys of the city, met a group of like-minded "knight" partners on the road. During the time they spent together, he deeply felt the warmth and warmth of the world. He gradually found the courage and faith he had lost in this "retrograde road" full of hardships and redefine the new direction of life.
