"You are a teenager" is directed by the young director Zeng Guoxiang, the flow Xiaohua Zhou Dongyu and the flow Xiaosheng Yi Yangqianxi respectively play a youth themed work reflecting campus violence. IP adaptation + traffic niche, this movie caused countless netizens' heated discussions when it was self-announced. Although in recent years, audiences have not bought the "IP adaptation + traffic niche" account, such as Lu Han a while ago. The large-scale bashing of "Shanghai Fortress" has proved that the audience's taste has improved.
But this "you of young man" is coming aggressively. Not to mention anything else, although Dongyu Zhou is a small flower, she is also responsible for the new generation of acting. She has a high starting point for her debut. She is well-known for her role in "The Love of Hawthorn Tree" directed by Zhang Yimou. The weight is full, and he has performed well in the movies "I like you" and "July and Ansheng", and he also won the Golden Horse movie with Ma Sichun who played July, which shows his superb acting skills.
Yi Yang Qianxi, not to mention, this summer’s "This Is the Second Season of Street Dance", Yi Yang Qianxi’s performance is amazing, even once defeated Han Geng, Luo Zhixiang and other older generation of street dancers, becoming the hearts of young people. The new generation of hip-hop king in China. It is not only his professionalism in dancing, but his humility, low-key and warmth make a deep impression. When it comes to acting, I believe that everyone will never forget his outstanding performance in "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an"-with old dramas like Lei Jiayin, there is no show of timidity, nor is it robbed of brilliance or even suppressed by him. It is worth looking forward to.
On the poster of this movie, Qianxi Yi keeps an inch that is very different from the elegant image of the past. His eyes are sharp, and he has the impulse and momentum peculiar to teenagers. No wonder the netizens just watched such a still. The circle of friends raised their arms and shouted, "For the four-character brother's inch, I also want to watch this movie, rush!" Besides the cool inch of Yi Yangqianxi, the cold and sharp eyes, what is more expected is this This film tells the most beautiful golden period in one's life-youth.
Who hasn't been frivolous in youth? Whose youth has no wine and stories? It’s just that youth is one thing that we will perceive and perceive when we run out of it. In youth, people squandered wantonly, and the energy of the body was so much that it seemed to always be like 21-year-old Wang Xiaobo. At that time, we dared to love and hate, and bravely fight for everything and even life for the people we want to protect.
Youth is not a topic, but a group. Every one of us has been a member of the group. Seventeen or eighteen years old, we have endless exercises, endless group fights, endless jokes between classmates, endless girls, endless love affair... But in this movie In the film, what the director wants to express, in addition to these elements that are found in many youth films, he also deliberately talked about a theme: campus bullying, perhaps because it is too realistic and sensitive, so the film has some twists and turns. But in the end, it went into the cinema as it wished, and it can be presented in front of the audience openly. This is really great news. Starting today, we also have heavy, powerful, and youthful movies that dare to talk about real issues!
"You are a teenager" is adapted from Jiu Yuexi's novel. It tells the story of how two teenagers who were changed by a campus accident on the eve of the college entrance examination protect each other and become ideal adults.
, as the young director who has successfully directed "July and Ansheng", Zeng Guoxiang was accidentally ambitious and gathered the original cast of "July and Ansheng" in this film (produced by Xu Yuezhen, screenwriter Lin Yongchen, Li Yuan, Xu Yimeng, director of photography Yu Jingping , Styling director Wu Lilu, voice director Huang Zheng, etc.) In "Youth of a Youth", Zeng Guoxiang wanted to smear youth with an explanation of the "tough guy", so it tells how a teenager instantly becomes an adult in order to defend his beloved girl The story also awakens a generation of beautiful memories about youth.
, as a realistic youth film, focuses on hot social topics such as campus violence, college entrance examination, family education, etc. Its tentacles are no longer a boring and superficial topic of discussing middle school students’ premature love. "Good director + good theme + good actor", the audience's expectation of this film is naturally not low. It is worth mentioning that "You are a young man" was nominated for the new generation unit of the 69th Berlin International Film Festival. The 69th Berlin Film Festival was screened, but the tipping point official suddenly issued an announcement saying that the film wasAnnounced withdrawal from the Berlin Film Festival due to post-production issues.
Looking back at the midsummer of this year, there are not many works with similar fate to "Youth in Youth": "Eight Hundred" was withdrawn due to technical reasons; "Great Wish" was renamed "Little Wish" after it was released, but the audience seems no longer Buy it, as 90% of the audience have been waiting for Xu Haofeng's martial arts work "Hidden in the Blade" is far away. There is no news until now, which shows that this summer is not friendly to domestic movies.
As a person in the film and television industry, I believe that the reason why "You are a teenager" has gone through so many twists and turns is probably because the content of the film is too real-a lot of depictions of the living conditions of the bottom people, the campus and the dark side of society. And the whole series of transitions in which the entire "Young You" announced that it was withdrawn and suddenly released, also made me feel, "The right path in the world is the vicissitudes of life", everything is just as the wise ancestors taught us, "You must choose that one. It’s a harder but more correct way.”
"You are a young man" also shows us that we may be in the dark quagmire. At this time, if someone is accompanied, take a hand, so that the world will not be full of despair. Don't give up this world, and even let people renew the courage to face this world, re-full of confidence and hope for the future, that would really be very grateful, this is salvation. "Young You" emphasizes mutual companionship, common redemption, courageously face all darkness, and march towards a bright future together!
thanks director Zeng Guoxiang for his persistence, the two leading actors and many actors, and the hard work of the entire team behind the scenes. Director Lou Ye once said: "Don't be afraid of movies." I hope we can have more works that reflect the real society like Japanese and Korean movies in the future, and I also wish "You are a teenager" at the box office!
