The movie "Express of Destiny" tells a "domino of destiny" that happened within 24 hours and was triggered by a debt of 100,000 yuan. Among them, the interlocking and fatalistic labyrinth narrative, seemingly absurd stories and amazing lines have a wonderful chemical reaction and are interpreted into a high-quality black humorous comedy.

　The first novel attracted Jiang Wen, Lou Ye and other young Fei Li talents to hide.

Nowadays, Fei Li, who often plays the roles of director, screenwriter and actor, is not from a regular background. Born in 1978, he worked as a designer before, and he can write novels in his spare time. Later, zuoxiao zuzhou, a friend who knew Fei Li’s talent thoroughly, persuaded him to write the story in his heart, and he began to embark on the road of film creation. In 2014, Fei Li was nominated for the Best Original Screenplay Award in the 51st Golden Horse Award for his film The Intruder. The first attempt at the director’s "Express of Destiny" was to shine at a well-known film festival.

At the 9th FIRST Youth Film Festival, Destiny Express nominated four awards, including best feature film and best director. Jiang Wen was the chairman of the jury of the film festival that made Destiny Express deus ex, while Yan Geling, Bao Dexi, Dai Jinhua, Zhang zhen, Huo Tingxiao and Du Yuan were the judges. "Destiny Express" won the recognition of most review judges under the strict lineup of its "top-level brick-patting group". Zhang zhen and Bao Dexi paid attention to the actors’ performances. Zhang zhen said that "the actors’ self-contained performances are in harmony with the colorful life scenes in the film", while Bao Dexi said that "the film provided unforgettable performances". Director Lou Ye praised the subtlety of the film structure, saying that "the express delivery of fate is also a jigsaw puzzle of fate, and the destinies of small people are interconnected and spliced with each other, which seems to be watertight". Yan Geling, on the other hand, saw Fei Li’s super-high talent and amazing wisdom through her works. She said that "the talent of the author presented in Express of Destiny is a kind of wisdom beyond talent." . Jiang Wen even called it "the most exciting movie I have seen in recent years". Therefore, Fei Li became attached to Jiang Wen, and Jiang Wen named Fei Li as the screenwriter of his new film "Evil Does Not Suppress Righteousness". Jiang Wen said: "The attention Li Fei has received is not worthy of his talent. I hope I can help him."

In addition to the FIRST Youth Film Festival, Fei Li’s "Express of Destiny" also gained a lot of praise. Cao Baoping, the director, lamented that "I hope Fei Li’s film creation can always be so free", while Andy Lau expressed great concern for the director himself, saying that "the author writes beautifully and shoots skillfully, which makes him feel comfortable as a screenwriter and director", so he specially met with Fei Li and revealed his intention for further cooperation. In addition to Andy Lau, who was amazed by the film, Zhou Yun, Summer Xu and Eddie Peng Yuyan, who are also actors, also expressed their high recognition of Fei Li after watching the film. Zhou Yun once said that "every actor’s performance is properly attached to their destiny", and Eddie Peng Yuyan even praised Fei Li’s talent. "The director proved to me that you can make amazing brain-burning comedies without convergence and following the trend." Summer Xu, on the other hand, directly booked many heroines of the next play from Fei Li. "This play once again showed me the great possibility of performing, and I hope to be the heroine of Fei Li next time."

In addition, zuoxiao zuzhou, who encouraged Fei Li to embark on the road of creation at the beginning, said after reading the film that "there are not many first novels that can keep me from urinating, but Fei Li’s" Express of Destiny "is definitely one of them."

"Humorous Comedy" May Dark Horse "Destiny Express" is full of cleverness.

After Crazy Stone, there are few movies with black humor in China. "Destiny Express" fills the gap in this theme. Similarly, it is a comedy with distinctive typology. Fei Li uses a multi-line narrative structure to pay tribute to "Pulp Fiction" and intertwine the mixed life of the protagonists overnight to form a tragicomedy. The sharp realistic dilemmas faced by the young people at the bottom are hidden under the appearance of characters, such as "whether love will start with face value, be obsessed with character, be defeated by material things and die of embarrassment", "Is the Dover Sect of the young people in Beipiao really peaceful or too tired" and "the hidden rule of entertainment circle: actors have to be directors if they want to play" … …

Although "Express of Destiny" is a film with distinctive typology and great commercial value, it actually costs only a few million, and Gu Changwei and other big names are also friends. And such a small-budget movie can break through in May and become a dark horse with a hot reputation. In the face of numerous favorable comments, director Li Fei was modest, saying that "many things are coincidences".

Golden sentences are frequently praised. Netizens call "my heart’s broken, old fellow."

With the film "Express of Destiny" being shown in the First Film Festival and the Shanghai Film Festival, fans’ favorable comments began to appear on various platforms. Netizen mustard green beans said, "It can be seen that the director’s aesthetic is high, and the actors’ performances are all wonderful. It is said that it took less than 3 million yuan. It is very good for domestic films to be made like this with so little money. Five stars encourage!" Douban netizen VInnncent left a message that "the whole journey without urine is too enjoyable", but it is more the voice that ordinary fans expect to see on the big screen.

Destiny Express tells the most real life with seemingly absurd stories. It is precisely because of this that Andy Lau said "this is a story that can happen anywhere" after watching the film. Use this to affirm the universality and realism of film values. In the movie, Zhou Xiaotie, a young debt collector from the north, speaks a local dialect, which is funny and full of golden sentences. For example, "I’ve been in Beijing for a day, and I’m tired" and "I don’t like impulsiveness now" have caused netizens to imitate, and some people even left a message "Every sentence hits the point. I have pierced my old iron! "
