As a matter of fact......

Youth movies belong to a very special existence in the film classification.

It's said that it's a literary film, but it's not counted, he can't shoot a really deep thing, but you don't want to talk about a literary film, but there are always some people who make it into a literary and artistic novelty, and then shoot it into a depressing tragedy from the perspective of the so-called adult at the end.

Even at the end, he added an ambiguous literary sentence like "That year, I ran in the sunset, this is my youth" and other ambiguous literary words to earn a wave of tears.

There are very few such films at the Venice Film Festival, there were some in the past, but as the times began to progress, such phenomena rarely appeared, and more films that reflected the current situation of society and the status quo of the times...

Of course, "Our Youth" is different.

The movie itself is the handover of the baton between a well-known director and a cutting-edge director, and this gimmick was hyped very early, well, as early as when Shen Lang was still eating and waiting to die.

The Venice Film Festival is naturally an important part of the process.

Although the film festival awards in this world have not really become a manipulative tool of big capital like another Huaxia, the Tianhui public relations team has taken turns to pave the way, and all kinds of relationships have been dotted, and then if nothing else, at least the probability of being nominated for the award has been greatly improved......

Zhang Yijun didn't want his last movie to go wrong......

At the same time, Zhao Yu didn't want his first movie to officially rise to go wrong......

At least......

Anyway, after receiving the nomination award, there will be another official award, right?

Smaller prizes are no problem.

Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing to hold the consolation nomination award and not return to China.

Mustn't this be a stain on Zhang Yijun's retired life?

But......

From entering the screening room to the end of the movie......

Except for a few people in the back row of the Italian jury who were still pointing fingers, there were fewer and fewer others.

"Why did they leave?"

"Obviously, they are not interested in our films......"

"Don't we have PR?"

"Well, however, PR can only guarantee a higher probability of getting the nomination...... But it's normal for youth movies to be like this......"

"This ......"

"And the thing that PR is busy with now is to suppress your messy scandal......"

"Why is this ......happening?"

With Zhang Yijun's helpless voice, Zhao Yu looked back at the gradually empty screening hall......

He couldn't accept this fact!

....................................

"The baby is in high school, and it's in the city...... Well, it's a good high school!"

"There are very bright fluorescent lights, and I heard that there is a big TV, a big TV ......."

"The kind of TV ...... that can be connected to a computer"

"That's nice......"

"I want to see if the classrooms in the baby's school are really that big, really that ...... It's ...... like on TV."

“......”

If the overseas version of "Our Youth" and the domestic version are really seriously compared, they are definitely two versions.

The same plot, the same story line, but different clips and soundtracks render the plot into two completely different concepts.

The opening film is dark, and then the darkness slowly takes on a hint of white shimmering......

Faintly, a simple mud house that makes people feel incredible is exposed in front of the camera.

The long shot slowly moves forward, and it seems to be a gust of wind, blowing the door open......

The long lens continues to move forward, to a light bulb......

The lights were dim.

Then, a faint voice rang out......

The camera gradually pulled down, and slowly pulled to a TV, in which an enrollment advertisement was playing, in which the trees were shady, the white long roads, the bustling city coming and going, and the classrooms that were so white that they seemed to have a sense of sacredness......

In front of the TV, an old farmer who described it as withered was watching the TV in a daze.

His lips moved.

The eyes reveal a struggle......

"It's so clean in the city......"

"I ......"

"Going...... Take a look?"

After saying this, the wind outside the house sounded, and the old farmer looked out of the house as if he was frightened.

"I ......"

After closing the door, the old farmer lowered his head.

It's still the dim lights, it's still the TV with the admissions advertisement......

And......

There seemed to be some rot on the table, half a bag of bananas tied with red string......

Next to the banana, there is a photo of a child smiling......

"Happy Birthday, Dad......"

“......”

..........................................

in the screening room.

Some critics were stunned when they saw the opening scene.

They don't believe that this version of the movie is "Our Youth" at all.

The editing narrative style is different, the post-processing style is different, and even the content details are different.

For example, this plot does not seem to have appeared at all in the Huaxia version......

"Shen Lang made two movies?"

"No! It's a movie......"

"But why does it feel weird?"

“......”

With the gradual development of the plot, film critics are even more confused.

All kinds of spoof plot stories that are messy in the Chinese version suddenly seem to have become montage narrative memories in this version......

It seems to be some messy nonsense, but there is a character-driven effect in the plot.

The plot is still advancing on the screen in front, and the plot is advancing to the school.

...... in school

One by one, seemingly inconsequential characters appeared.

The calm class echoed with Checoer's piano song "Youth Blooming", and the melody gradually swelled up, and students in clean clothes walked in one after another......

Outside the window, white doves swept by, and then flew into the distant sky......

"Goo-goo-goo"

Faintly, it was as if you could hear the sound of pigeons.

At this moment, everyone felt that they had returned to the simple and beautiful era they once had......

"The teacher is so ......"

“......”

The students who stood up had big smiles on their faces, and those who hadn't seen the movie would not have noticed the empty seat next to one of the heroines and the other student lying on his stomach......

With beautiful music, everything is so beautiful and everything is so serious.

Unconsciously it creates a sense that this is a city full of hope and cleanliness.

"Chicoer is really a master, and his soundtrack is really amazing!"

“......”

Some people sighed.

If there is no soundtrack by Checole, it is estimated that this kind of good feeling is really difficult to feel......

Peaceful, peaceful......

And then......

A transfer student walked in.

The soundtrack gradually became "Melody of Love".

"Report!"

“......”

All the students looked to that side and ......

Cai Jiaming and Qin Yao looked at each other.

Seems......

Ten thousand years at a glance!

All of them have a feeling that the male and female protagonists are about to be together......

But......

Unfortunately, he is not the main character.

....................................

Every scene change will be accompanied by a switch of music, and every time the music is switched, it is perfectly integrated into the atmosphere of the plot.

At first, the music was very good, and when the fans got used to it and decided to immerse themselves in it......

Gradually, the soundtrack began to change ......

As the soundtrack began to change, an indescribable sense of unpleasantness floated through everyone's hearts.

Like, a storm has come.

In fact......

The storm has come completely!

Suddenly, an old farmer with a knife appeared......

"Which of you bullied the baby!"

"Who of you!"

"Who of you!"

"Ahh

“......”

Blood-red eyes.

The spirit of having a nervous breakdown.

He stared at everyone, questioning everyone......

roared, as if he couldn't suppress the roar in his heart.

The roar, accompanied by the prelude to Checo's "The Rainstorm is Coming", startled all the fans.

Then, someone recognized!

This person is the old farmer at the beginning of the film......

But......

This man has no fear!

There is no cowardice......

He just......

It's like madness!

What's going on?

The sound of the collapse made everyone feel the same way, especially the blood-red eyes, mixed with tears, and the sewn trouser legs......

Everything about this old peasant seems to be out of step with this world......

When they saw this scene, the critics were stunned again.

This scene did appear in "Our Youth", but it was not like this when it appeared, the corner of the shooting seemed to be on the other side, and the soundtrack was completely different, the Chinese version could indeed hear the roar, but with the soundtrack of "Auspicious Ruyi", it really made people's mentality collapse inexplicably......

But this version ......

..............................

"Jeff, who is this actor?"

"Huh?"

"Who is this actor?"

"He's like...... Call...... Well, no, it's called Zhou Fu, and the name of Huaxia should be pronounced upside down......"

"The emotions are very contagious, and it doesn't look like a show at all! There is one, in Chinese terms, it's called "three points into the wood"! Is this person here?"

"This man...... I ......"

"Let's keep watching and see how he finishes and performs. ”

"Hmm. ”

In the corner, an old man is watching a movie seriously.

In fact, he was also amazed by this crazy acting skills.

He has made so many movies and met a lot of roles, but there are really not many who can really perform the feeling......

It's basically an actor-level existence.

Subsequently, he continued to watch the movie, but the more he watched it, the more he felt that the movie was weird.

The narrative style, as well as the shooting angles, and even the style of the plot and the rhythm of the soundtrack......

Very much in line with Italian musical films, but not purely musical films.

"They bully the baby!"

"They bullied him!"

"Why did they bully him!"

"Why do the people in the city bully us......"

"Why ......"

"They're bullying us!"

“......”

Everyone felt crazy, but in the end, it was full of despair that could be felt through the screen......

Then, the old man saw a very ironic scene in the whole movie.

A teacher is not a teacher......

A transfer student is not a transfer student......

It's not pancake fruit that sells pancake fruit......

The principal is not the principal......

The black humor accompanies every narrative, and the small background of the content makes him feel amazing again!

Of course, the plot seems a little unreasonable.

However, the more I felt unreasonable, the more I felt this deep irony......

Afterward......

Slowly, the plot began to advance again, pushing to the life of the collapsed farmer, to the fire a long, long time ago......

In each scene, the desperate roar of the peasants is sublimated, and with the background music, it seems to make this sublimation to the deepest artistic texture.

The old man exhaled deeply, depressed, but full of indescribable catharsis.

Even, the ending begins a kind of reflection on material and dreams......

Once, a barber who dreamed of being a teacher finally felt that his dream was to be a barber because of material things.

It's like a circle......

And then......

One by one, the cycle of cause and effect!

"This Zhou Fu! He has to be the best actor!"

"That...... Mr. Al, the actor is director Shen Lang...... He's a male partner...... Here's what it says, well, that's what the movie stuff looks like......"

"What!" The old man in the back row stared at this scene in disbelief, and then, exhaling deeply, he finally nodded, "My nomination ticket, just give him, just the Best Actor Award, he must win!"

"Hmm... I'd like to nominate for Best Screenplay for this film...... This movie seems to be a bit interesting..."

"Good!"

..............................

The preview screening is over.

Fans left the cinema feeling a trance.

Film critics are even more mixed.

"Why is such an excellent movie edited into such a mess in China!"

"Losing the original essence, it's like slapping yourself in the face!"

“......”

"This kind of movie can't pass the ...... in China"

"However, even if you can't pass the trial, you can't cut it like this......

“......”

Several film critics compared the domestic version, and once wanted to scold my mother, but felt that if I didn't scold Shen Lang, I wouldn't be in a comfortable mood.

..............................

Chinese.

Zhou Fu rubbed his temples after closing the door.

The business in the store is very good because of the relationship with "Our Youth......

He has become a celebrity in the store, and every day a group of people come to the store to take pictures with him when they don't have anything to do.

It would have been a very happy thing, but, for some reason, since the filming, he has always had insomnia and ......

I can't sleep......

Emotions have been immersed in the movie and can't extricate themselves.

He understands that he has depression, and he has been too deep into the play, and he has not come out yet.

"Forget it......"

“......”

"Toot toot. ”

“......”

"Toot toot. ”

“......”

"Hey, Director Shen...... I have a passport, but as I said before, I don't want to go abroad......"

“......”

"Hmm? I might ...... To be nominated for the Best Actor Award?"

“......”

"Then, whether or not I can be nominated for the Best Actor Award first, I'll come here......"
