"My youth" is a typical Chinese youth film.
In the early stage, there were family conflicts, and men lived in an environment full of domestic violence.
His father is a heavy drinker and gambler. After losing his job, he drinks at home all day. His mother is also a shrewd woman. He has to be blamed by her husband for supporting her family. If they don't agree with each other, they fight.
At this time, the male owner carries a stool to the next room, grabs the earplug that has been prepared for a long time and inserts it into his ear. Then he reads a book by himself. He is used to everything. Occasionally he stares at the sky outside the window in a daze, and his eyes are empty and confused.
In contrast, another family is warm and peaceful. Her father is promoted and comes back with a doll. Her mother is busy cooking in the house and the whole family is happy.
This is the starting point of the story, which tells the story of youth between the male and female protagonists.
When the novel was published, it was popular all over the country and swept the campus.
But after these years, the development of the Internet is changing with each passing day, information explosion, including a variety of novels, movies, this kind of plot has been used rotten, when the film was launched, it was also said by many netizens that the plot was too old-fashioned, and the film was put into the category of making money with feelings.
Story is an old story. Many similar movies are synonymous with bad movies.
But we have to see who's shooting.
Director Xie Kun has a great reputation in the industry. In the past, the style of the film was literary and artistic. He can really make a flower out of such an old story as "my youth".
The original work itself is not a story of ups and downs. The biggest conflict in the whole film is the conflict between the two families after they find out the love between the man and the woman, even the beating and scolding.
Before the separation, the contradiction is the change of the woman's outlook on life and values, and the conflict is her thoughts.
Generally, the female owner feels that this is not the love she wants. The love she wants is not to be furtive all the time, not to play hide and seek with her family, and not to be nagging in front of her parents every time she goes home.
That's what feelings are. It's a matter for two people. If one side chooses to give up, it will fall apart in an instant. It's not something that one person can get through hard work.
The man felt the change of the woman. He worked hard and maintained it madly. He was not willing to let go.
Finally, the man got into trouble because his father was addicted to gambling, and was seriously injured by the door-to-door debt collector. After more than ten days in the hospital, facing the breakup proposed by the woman, he said a good word calmly.
He loved her deeply and wrote in his diary that the world was dark and she was the dawn that lit up the world.
After a few days, the man calmly and calmly agreed to break up. There was no more sorrow than the dead eyes. The picture was fixed in her mind.
……
The reason why this story was so popular in those years was very interesting. High school students like to read the part of high school chapter, which is about their ideal sweet love.
What college students like is the chapter of breaking up and struggling.
From high school to university, I don't know how many people have this kind of experience. With a broad vision, the Three Outlooks have changed, completely different from those in high school.
People who come out of the campus and enter the society see what they think at the end of the story.
Everyone's youth is made up of regrets. Many things you miss, you can't ask for any more.
At the class meeting, the woman asked the man if he wanted to go to the high school together. The man said with a smile, "no, now the school has been renovated. It's no longer what it used to be. Even if we go back, we can only see strange places. It's not the result we want."
The girl's face and fingers were pinched together, her knuckles turned white, and her smile began to force her up. The whole class was in a trance.
At the end of the story, they are not together after all.
As the male owner Joanne said, even if it is to go back, it is not necessarily the result they want.
The heroine in his heart was buried in his memory when he broke up. It was his dawn that lit up his whole high school career, but it went out at the moment of breaking up.
Accompanied by the tears of the female owner, the theme song interspersed in it.
……
Many of the people who came to see the film were girls, belonging to the more emotional part. The film itself didn't force tears, but it was always sour and astringent. But at the moment when "later" started, the song and the movie plot were interspersed, which directly destroyed many people's tear glands.
And the end of memory, the remaining sentence, "some people, once missed, will not be." Let there be sobs in the cinema.
Chen Ran also felt that he was very worried.
The cinema is a very magical place. If this kind of film is watched on TV, he certainly can't watch it. In the atmosphere of the cinema, everyone is watching it attentively. He not only watches it, but also is infected by the plot.
He didn't read the novel ahead of time. He just saw the outline of the story. Now it seems that those who tell the old story are really wrong. It's really old-fashioned to take out three chapters separately. They can be rubbed together and expressed by Xie Kun's unique camera language. That can't be so bad.
In the end, the cinema lights up, many people have not got up, sitting there waiting to see if there are eggs, by the way wipe tears, tidy up mood.
He just saw the scene and knew the movie was ready.
How much energy can be generated depends on how much emotion is sold.
Chen Ran turns to look at Zhang Fanzhi. She doesn't cry like other girls. She can only see her eyes when wearing the mask. Her eyebrows are slightly frowning, but her eyes are not red.
"How do you feel?" Chen Ran asked
"Pretty good." Zhang Fanzhi said in a dull voice.
Chen Ran hears some nasal sounds from her voice. It seems that she is not as calm as she is now.
He believed Zhang Fanzhi had never seen it at the premiere.
……
They walked out of the cinema hand in hand, and the people passing by were still sobbing in a low voice.
"Isn't that a good movie?"
"Well, I feel better than the original, especially when the song came out at the end, my heart was so sad."
"Novels and movies are definitely different. We have to adapt them. OK, don't cry."
"I just feel sorry for Joanne."
"Poor lady."
"She made it herself."
"Er... In fact, a lot of girls are similar to female owners now..."
"Are you talking about me?"
"Do you think I dare?"
The conversation between the young couple was quite interesting.
Chen Ran came all the way, and all he heard was the discussion of the plot and the generous praise.
After he came out, he felt a little more comfortable. Seeing that Zhang Fanzhi didn't say a word, he should still be thinking about the movie. He said, "the movie we saw is still a little interesting."
"Well?" Zhang Fanzhi's side head.
"Remember the first movie we saw at the beginning? After 30 days of chasing love, the woman finally sat on the bed and cried." Chen Ran jokingly said: "now this one is the same. Both films end with the female owner regretting crying. In the past, it was popular to abuse scum men, but now it seems that it is popular to abuse female owners."
Zhang Fanzhi didn't say a word. He also thought of the rotten film at the beginning. Both films focused on emotion, but they couldn't be compared together.
"This movie is going to be popular, and it's a very popular one. Later will scare a lot of people."
What's the reputation of watching a movie? In fact, we can see some in the cinema. If most people can't wait to leave as soon as the lights are turned on, there must be something wrong with the movie. After "my youth" has just been broadcast, there will be a staff list. All the audience are still sitting quietly, waiting for the song to finish to see if there are colored eggs. This reputation will definitely explode.
In fact, as Chen Ran said, the opening score of the film reached 9.6. Although it was only zero, the number of scenes was not too many, and most of the scores were from the original book powder, the opening score of 9.6 was very rare.
……
Zhang Fanzhi originally wanted to send Chen ran home, but now it's too late. Chen Ran is not sure that Zhang Fanzhi will go back alone after sending him home, so he plans to go to Zhang Jia again for another night.
She took a deep breath and apparently just recovered from the movie.
"Why do you think the mistress has changed her mind?" Walking to the car, Zhang Fanzhi asked abruptly.
Chen Ran thought for a while and said, "there's a performance in the film. Her love view is too idealistic. After going to university, with the influence of environmental factors, she feels that she can't stick to it. In fact, there are quite a lot of such situations. When I was in college, I had a girlfriend whom my roommate talked about from high school. Every Friday, I would take the train to find her. Then, it didn't take long to break up... "
Zhang Fanzhi listened quietly. She didn't have so many things to do when she was in University. After listening, she looked at Chen Ran again and asked casually, "if it's you, will it change?"
Chen rancai recognized her meaning and said, "I can't guarantee it."
Seeing that Zhang Fanzhi's brow was slightly frowning and his face was not good-looking, Chen rancai said with a smile: "since we met, I seem to have been changing. At least when we met, I didn't treat you the same as now."
Zhang Fanzhi realized that Chen Ran was deliberately ridiculed, glanced at Chen Ran, but was not angry. When they both got into the car, she whispered, "me too."
Chen ranzheng tidies up his seat belt. Looking back in a little surprise, Zhang Fanzhi drives with a calm face, as if those three words were not what she said just now.
If Chen Ran didn't hear that, he thought he was hallucinating.
He doesn't care what Zhang Fanzhi's expression is. Anyway, he is very happy. He always looks at Zhang Fanzhi's side face and smiles.
When I returned to Zhangjia, it was already late at night.
Director Zhang and his wife have not fallen asleep. As soon as they open the door, aunt Yun comes out of the room.
Zhang Fanzhi frowned and said, "why didn't you sleep at this time?"
Aunt Yun didn't have a good way: "it's not to wait for you. I'm afraid you'll come back hungry at night."
Chen Ran felt in his heart that Aunt Yun was not the reason. He should be worried that he would turn Zhang Fanzhi away.
Second, they always support Chen Ran and Zhang Fanzhi, but they haven't decided what they want to do. At least when they meet their parents and get engaged.
