"When I made "Reverse", I wanted to film youth. I hope that whether you are in adolescence, or those who have stepped out of adolescence and entered the adult world, after watching "Reverse", you will feel that it is good to be young." Director and screenwriter Chang Yudi said . On June 14, the movie "Flip" appeared at the Shanghai International Film Festival's "Belt and Road" Film Week.
"Reversal" tells the story of drama school student Sun Xiaolei (played by Bian Cheng) who is facing the first important competition in his life. The delayed voice change period makes him anxious. While preparing for the competition, Sun Xiaolei unexpectedly became friends with two competitors - the boyish female veteran Shi Jiahui (played by Zhou Meijun) and Xie Tianci (played by Chen Shaoxi) who came from a famous Peking opera family.
"Inverted", the main creator of "Inverted", won the first venture capital award at the 15th First Youth Film Festival and the winning project of "China's Good Stories" at the 34th China Golden Rooster Film Venture Capital Conference. The characters in the film each have their own characteristics. Sun Xiaolei was born in a family of opera and had high hopes from his father, but he was a "wonder" who remained silent in the eyes of his classmates. Fearing that he would lose his clear childlike voice, he was full of fear of "reversing his position". Shi Jiahui is the only girl in the old student class. She is straightforward, straightforward and carefree. She enjoys playing the role of a boy as an old student, but she also longs to be recognized as a girl. Xie Tianci, a carefree and talkative person, dreams of becoming a big star. He disdains Peking Opera in words, but he insists on opera in his heart.
"When I actually saw the finished film of "Inverted", I felt that it was not the actors I chose, but that they had been waiting for the roles. They were the characters themselves, waiting to be filmed." "Inverted" on June 14 "At the post-screening sharing meeting, Zhang Yudi said that some of the actors have opera skills, and some have undergone long-term Peking opera training for the film.
""Reversal" allowed me to relive my most painful period, and I felt the same way." Chen Shaoxi, who plays Xie Tianci, grew up acting in elementary school and graduated from the China Academy of Opera. "The period of voice change determines the life of an opera actor. Many people experience reversal." I chose not to do this business. My teacher once said: It is better to trade early than to trade late. When my classmates were in the third year of junior high school or in the first year of high school, their voices would have a perfect transition period. I was the only one who had not liquidated my position, and suddenly I liquidated my position when I was about to take the college entrance examination."
Chen Shaoxi's technical secondary school graduation drama is like the story of Sun Xiaolei in the film, "On the stage, I suddenly lost my voice and couldn't sing no matter how hard I sang. "Looking back, Chen Shaoxi wanted to say to Sun Xiaolei, "It's okay to be disappointed in life. There will be many choices in the future. It's up to us to step by step and become the best version of ourselves."
In Zhang Yudi's view. , it may not be so important for ordinary people to reverse their positions and change their voices, but there will be one or two key moments in everyone's adolescence, such as college entrance examination, postgraduate entrance examination, and job search. "Any choice at the fork in life, everyone will say that it is like thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge. If If you are squeezed down, there may be no way back in your life. When I filmed "Reversal", I wanted to say that youth is not a single-plank bridge, but a complicated overpass system. If you go wrong at one entrance, you may end up at the next one. If you take a wrong turn, you may end up in another landscape. "Reversal" is not Sun Xiaolei's reversal, it is a transition that everyone must go through in adolescence. No matter which way you go, the important thing is. They are the group of people who accompany you through your adolescence."
Zhou Meijun, who plays Shi Jiahui, went to the crew of "Failure" on the day after the college entrance examination. "I originally planned to dye my hair that day, but I was told to meet the crew. I said, okay, work is the most important thing.” That summer, Zhou Meijun did not dye her hair, but cut her hair short and became a female senior student, Shi Jiahui. Be yourself, because she loves it and insists on being herself in a track that the public thinks does not belong to her. "
The main creator took a photo with the audience
"Everyone may have such memories in their youth, including the summer in "Reverse Position". , with endless energy, playing with my friends day and night. Suddenly, the summer was over, and after a few summers, youth was also gone.Huo Xueying, the screenwriter of "Falling Back", is happy to see the audience finding themselves in the teenagers in the film, "The similarities between the characters in "Falling Back" and us are not only the beautiful parts of youth, but also the anxiety of adolescence. We were both longing for and confused about growth. They are the same, standing on the bridge of youth, going to the adult world, they don't know what is on the other side of the bridge. The emotional relationship between them stems from dependence. They hug each other for warmth. Everyone smells similar scents on each other and cuddle up together like small animals. This kind of sincere friendship is the most valuable in adolescence. "
Huo Xueying is a fan of Peking Opera. The classic arias of "Wujia Slope" and "A Dream in the Boudoir" run through the entire film of "Reverse Position". "Many people will think that Peking Opera is too old and don't want to get involved in it." In fact, one or two hundred years ago, before movies and TV series became popular, people were used to going to theaters to listen to stories. Peking Opera is a story-telling drama. It has spanned hundreds of years and is still able to convey emotions and expressions to this day. It also gave wings to "Reverse Position". "
