If you want to take stock of the big “unpredictable cases” in the film and television industry in 2019, when "You are a teenager" will definitely be on the list. On October 25th, "You are a teenager", which had disappeared for nearly four months, was suddenly announced for national release. The news immediately set off the topic list, and the box office reputation did not disappoint. I'm curious, why did the movie withdraw? What is it talking about? How to quickly detonate the domestic film market after the return?
If life can tear off the beautiful filter of youth, expose the evil that is surging in it, mix with the pain of growth, and then put it into a bizarre world, cruelly wrapped in tenderness, and let people see mixed tastes, this is the movie "Young You".
High school girl Chen Nian is introverted and has excellent grades. The only thing she ever wanted to do was to get into a good school. However, an accident in high school changed her destiny completely. Then it intensified and rose to verbal abuse, assault and campus bullying.
When Chen Nian was the most lonely and hopeless, Xiaobei appeared. This was a young man who made trouble on the street and inadvertently became the gentlest light in Chen Nian's world. He protected her and accompanied her to face the violent storms of the world. Two 18-year-old teenagers, one to the left and the other to the right, now stand at the same time at the entrance of the adult world.
We are always accustomed to singing youth. When it comes to youth, all we associate with are beautiful, pure, beautiful, and fluttering in white. For example, the first movie "Sadness Goes Against the River" about campus bullying, although the author really wants to show a story about scars, the protagonists in the lens always maintain a glamorous sense of fashion, even in the climax of emotional outbursts, they still do not Lack of soft light and filters. In the coat of attention to reality, what actually hides is the ungrounded illusion of "Little Times".
Looking back at "The Young You", the lens is "dirty". Because the parts of the teenagers are all in the night and rain, the teenagers are no longer raging, and the actors are always in a cold and cold environment, rain and tears. Perhaps this should not be the whole of youth, but without fairy tales, this is the world of campus bullying.
Someone said: Youth is like a wild forest. It is the transition zone between teenagers and adults. It is the intersection of children's fairy tales and socialization. Not everyone can walk through the wild forest to the avenue, and some people will get lost and fall into the mire. This is the reality of youth. "Cruel Youth" was also a genre of Chinese movies, such as Yang Dechang's "Guling Street Juvenile Murder", Jiang Wen's "Sunny Day", Jia Zhangke's "Platform", Wang Xiaoshuai's " Seventeen-year-old bicycle, "Green Red" and so on.
But with the changes of the times, the youth described in the lens has also undergone a fundamental change. "Speaking of sorrow in order to give new words" has become the mainstream of youth films. To grieve for sadness, to separate for separation, youth becomes frivolous and meaningless. When "Young You" appeared in front of us, it was realistic, calm and cruel, but the core was always wrapped in gentle emotions, so when it returned, the box office and word of mouth exploded.
After watching "Young You", I recalled the "Young Me". At that time, the students were divided into different groups, the most naughty ones, whoever had the hardest fist was the boss. Most of the time, the class leader with the best academic performance is the class leader, and the least helpful is also a learning committee member. Occasionally there is a father who is a cadre, and from time to time he writes "My Village Chief Father" and reads in the class. Looking back now, most of it is still beautiful. I hope that in the future, through our efforts, the small part will be better.
