Millennium director

"A very clever transition design, through a paper airplane flying between two windows, traveling through time and space without leaving any trace."

Film critic Li Wen, sitting in the back seat of Auditorium No. 1, was writing non-stop in the notebook she carried with her.

As soon as the movie started, it left a very good opening impression on everyone watching the movie.

Wu Yuan, who was sitting in the first row, raised his eyebrows and was a little surprised.

In the script, he did not design this plot. Obviously, Li Yang designed this scene himself.

The effect is not bad!

Wu Yuan is not the kind of director who insists on filming according to every detail of the script after giving the script.

Making a movie is actually a very personal thing in itself.

If you take the same script and the exact same script content to two different directors, the final film will never be exactly the same, or even very different.

The script can only guarantee the success of a movie and ensure that the main plot is OK, while the director determines the upper limit of a movie.

There is no doubt that Li Yang's upper limit is much higher than that of a pure newcomer or even a layman-turned-director like Nine Knives.

"Don't be nervous." Looking at Liu Yifei, who was tensing up next to him and nervously listening to the discussion of the film critics in the back row with his ears raised, Wu Yuan comforted in a low voice:

"Director Li Yang did a great job, and you and Ya Wen also performed well. Believe in yourself."

"This movie will be successful."

The main story line of Li Yang's version of "Those Years" is no different from the original version, but it is different from Nine Knives in the lens language and style presented.

Better than him!

After all, Li Yang graduated from the directing department of Nortel. It can be said that every student who entered the directing department before Nortel expanded its enrollment was extremely talented.

The story of the movie "Those Years" itself is not complicated at all, it can even be said to be very simple.

The male protagonist Ke Jingteng and his gay friends also like the beautiful and well-behaved girl in the class.

They are ignorant and full of yearning for love.

They use all their self-righteous tricks and means to express their love clumsily.

But until the end of youth, none of them could catch the girl.

Including Ke Jingteng, who originally looked very promising.

The love of young people is always warm and simple.

When he failed in the college entrance examination, Ke Jingteng took off his clothes and wiped Shen Jiayi's tears.

During the holidays, Ke Jingteng waited patiently by the phone in order to contact Shen Jiayi.

The two of them spent their first Christmas together, eating snacks together, making trouble together, walking on the railway track together, taking a walk together, and setting off the Kongming Lanterns together.

Although no one said that confession, it seemed that they were already doing things as a couple.

But what makes people love and hate love is its uncertainty.

Especially the throb of adolescence, no one can be sure whether the girl he likes will agree to be with him.

Because he was afraid of failure, when Ke Jingteng was setting off the Kongming Lantern, he asked "Let's be together" across the Kongming Lantern, but refused to hear Shen Jiayi's answer.

I only dare to write on the Kongming Lantern "How about being together?"

Just when all the viewers thought that the window of love between Ke Jingteng and Shen Jiayi was about to be broken, the plot of the story took a turn for the worse.

The love that was originally possible becomes increasingly missing as the sky lantern rises.

Youth itself is regret.

In the eyes of good students, fighting may be just fighting. Because of this incident, the two had differences.

In Shen Jiayi's eyes, Ke Jingteng is naive and ignorant.

In Ke Jingteng's eyes, Shen Jiayi doesn't understand or understand herself.

Girls' maturity always catches boys off guard.

There is a saying in the movie that is very good.

"The cruelest part of growing up is that girls are always more mature than boys of the same age. No boy can resist the maturity of girls."

After this quarrel, and the fact that they went to different universities, the two people who were already very close gradually started to drift apart again.

Until, two years later, a sudden earthquake occurred. Ke Jingteng held up his PHS phone and searched everywhere for a signal, hoping to call Shen Jiayi, fearing that something might happen to her.

At the same time, the same was true for Shen Jiayi on the other side.

It turns out that the two still can't forget each other.

If those words had been spoken at that time, would everything have been different?

"If there is a parallel time and space, maybe we will be together there."

When Ke Jingteng looked up at the starry sky and said these words to the PHS, Shen Jiayi in the movie and the audience outside the movie were silent.

"if"

It's such a beautiful word.

It's a pity that there is no if in this world.

Ke Jingteng finally missed Shen Jiayi.

Just like most people miss that beloved girl in their youth.

Shen Jiayi got married, and Ke Jingteng was not the groom.

It turns out that the scene at the beginning of the movie was when Ke Jingteng was going to attend Shen Jiayi's wedding with his gay friends.

As a guest.

As we drank and drank, scenes of time flooded into our minds.

After so many years, Ke Jingteng thought that he would not wish Shen Jiayi happiness.

But he found that he wanted the girl he liked to be loved and happy, even if the last person was not him.

In the most beautiful years of youth, it is also a pity to be separated from the girl you like most.

What we have had is beautiful, and life is about growing up through constant misses.

But it’s those things we missed that made us who we are today.

Of course, at the end of the movie, the Easter egg appears.

Wu Yuan plays a guest role as Shen Jiayi's husband, wearing a white suit and making a grand appearance with Shen Jiayi on his arm.

When Wu Yuan's face was revealed, countless viewers looked stunned and immediately burst into laughter.

Without him, there were rumors of an affair between Wu Yuan and Liu Yifei, and it was once very popular.

Generally, artists who are rumored to be involved in scandals in the industry will not say that they are inseparable, but they will deliberately keep a distance to prevent the scandal from going too far.

Nowadays, it is not very popular to hype scandals and CP.

After all, today's celebrity artists all have to adopt single persona and rely on single persona to attract fans.

The same is true for Liu Yifei. Although she doesn't deliberately adopt a single persona, her fans, whether male or female, obviously don't want to see her in love.

Logically speaking, Wu Yuan should try to avoid having too intimate behaviors and actions with her in front of the stage.

But he still came to play Shen Jiayi's husband.

Many Bingxue smart audience members had ambiguous smiles on their faces.

However, more of the audience's attention is still focused on the big screen.

"Those Years" doesn't have any clichés like abortion, car accident, terminal illness, etc. It just talks about a missed love, it's simple and simple.

There is no complete main story line, and the narrative rhythm is mediocre, but it brings people a greater sense of touch.

Because this is youth that once happened to everyone.

It is precisely because of this simple ordinaryness that makes people feel more cordial.

At the end of the movie, Ke Jingteng rushed out and violently kissed the groom played by Wu Yuan.

The flickering lights bring people to the parallel time and space that Ke Jingteng hopes to exist.

There, there are four big characters written on the Kongming Lantern: "Okay, together!"

There, after the quarrel, Ke Jingteng returned to Shen Jiayi, wiped away her tears, and said to her: "I'm sorry, I was too naive."

Perhaps, in a certain parallel time and space, Ke Jingteng and Shen Jiayi did not miss each other and lived happily together.

But this happiness is obviously not something that Ke Jingteng can enjoy now.

The scenes in the movie return to reality from parallel time and space.

After being scolded for being childish in the rain, the lovelorn Ke Jingteng cried until his nose ran down.

Wu Yuan smacked his lips, and said with some surprise: "Ya Wen's crying scene is good."

"It's this kind of sincere crying that makes people moved and unforgettable."

"Hey, Yawen, how did you prepare this scene when you were filming it? The effect is very good!"

Zhu Yawen's cry was indeed well acted, and it can be regarded as one of the highlights of the film.

Other actors also looked at Zhu Yawen curiously, wanting to learn from him.

Only Zhu Yawen smiled awkwardly, "No, no, no, I was just acting blindly. I can't tell how I planned it."

As he spoke, Zhu Yawen glanced at Wu Yuan with very resentful eyes.

How did he do this crying scene?

Of course you put your own feelings into it!

Which relationship should I take on behalf of?

Of course, it’s the life of a lost dog who has a crush on failure!

"Shen Jiayi" is also his youth!

He used his own actual experience to prove that how could there be so many successful crushes in school?

Unsatisfactory endings are the majority.

Zhu Yawen can also completely substitute himself into the role of Ke Jingteng.

Not only him, but most of the guests watching the premiere could easily insert themselves into the story.

Which teenager has never fallen in love with that girl in the class who was pretty and had good grades, and then, years later, she died without a cure.

In addition, classes, exams, handing notes, whispering, nervousness about checking results, and battles of wits with teachers

Every clip in the movie can remind people of their own memories. All the images are so real, just like themselves yesterday.

Who hasn't had those years of their own, their own Shen Jiayi?

"The girl we chased together in those years"

The "we" here refers to every audience who watches this movie.

The last shot of the film is a close-up of a red envelope.

On the red envelope, there are eight big words written: "Happy wedding, my youth."

With the BGM of the same name from "Those Years" playing again, the film ends.

Only at this moment did the audience understand what it meant in the scene at the beginning of the movie when Ke Jingteng combed his hair like an adult and put on a handsome suit.

"Pah, pah, pah, pah!"

Even before the rolling credits at the end of the movie appeared, the four screening rooms were already flooded with applause.

Most of the guests who came to watch the movie were born in the 1980s.

In the years since they entered society, they have only worked hard for houses and cars. Stress and exhaustion have already eroded their bodies and minds.

The appearance of the movie "Those Years" immediately caused huge sighs.

This movie is about their youth!

After watching this movie, everyone will inevitably have an idea in their hearts.

I don’t know if I can meet the Shen Jiayi/Ke Jingteng I missed again in parallel time and space.

If you meet, will you be brave enough to hold his hand this time?

"The heavy rain I missed in those years, the love I missed in those years."

"I really want to hug you and embrace the courage I missed."

Listening to this ending song, countless guests shouted with red eyes and smiles:

"nice!"

"This is my youth!"

“I want to watch it again!”
