After the movie ended, many people were in tears and made their own comments in the barrage.

"I watched the best micro-film and was very moved. ”

"I remembered my boyhood and my unfulfilled dreams. ”

"Dreams never fade. ”

"The theme song is so good. ”

After watching the movie, Liu Wei was deeply moved, and immediately logged in to Douban, recalled the plot in his mind, and prepared some film reviews.

Netizens who watched the movie came to Lin Xuan's Weibo to comment.

"I take back my previous words, the script is very well written, although the story is a bit cliché, but it is not as strong as other youth films, it is very beautiful and moving. ”

"The front is very funny, I can't help but cry when I see the end, there are laughter and tears, I like it very much. ”

"The way the front is funny is not quite the same as other movies, it looks a bit ridiculous, but youth itself is absurd, anyway, I laugh very happily. ”

"I think this micro-movie is so moving, at least half of it comes from the theme song "Old Boy", the lyrics are very appropriate to the movie, and it deepens the mood at once, and as soon as the theme song at the end comes out, plus those pictures of ordinary life, tears burst instantly. ”

“……”

Netizens praised it and recommended it to their friends.

"Have you watched Lin Xuan's micro-movie "Old Boy" written by him?"

"Nope. ”

"No, don't look at it. ”

"Is it pretty?"

"There are laughter and tears, it's very beautiful. ”

"What's the story?"

"It's a story of two old boys chasing their dreams, but it's not as hard as other movies, the front recalls the youth in an absurd and funny way, and the back is very close to reality......"

"Okay, don't spoil it, I'll go and see it. ”

……

"Penguin Video has released a micro-movie, which is a work written by Lin Xuan, which is very good-looking. ”

"Is it? Isn't Lin Xuan writing songs?

"You can see it when you see it, it's very moving. ”

"Then I'll take a look. ”

……

"Lin Xuan has released a new song again, which is very good, and the lyrics are very moving. ”

"Isn't the latest episode of 'Summer of the Band' not aired yet?"

"You don't know, Lin Xuan wrote a micro-movie, called "Old Boy", which has just been launched on Penguin Video, and the theme song is "Old Boy", you go and take a look, with the plot of the movie, it will definitely make you teary-eyed. ”

"Okay, for Lin Xuan's song, I'm going to take a look at it too. ”

……

Under the spontaneous publicity of netizens, the topic became very hot, and "Old Boy" quickly spread on the Internet, and some netizens recorded the picture of Xiao Dabao singing and put it on Douyin and Station B, all of which got high clicks.

By noon the next day, the movie had reached 15 million hits, and it was still growing rapidly.

At the same time, Douban's score has also been released, with 30,000 people giving a rating, with a high score of 9.2, which is second to none in the micro-movie.

Movie reviews have also been released.

"To be honest, the whole story is not new, and even a little old-fashioned, but compared to other stories of the same type, this "Old Boy" The reason why many people are moved by it, on the one hand, is that Lin Xuan's theme song is just right, Lin Xuan's songwriting strength is obvious to all, although his lyrics are more straightforward this time, but they are closely integrated with the movie, which is very impressive, and the melody of the song is also tear-jerking, I believe that many people are like me, in the end of Xiao Dabao's singing, and in the freeze-frame pictures, left tears.

On the other hand, the actors' performances are very down-to-earth and very intriguing. We seem to see our own shadow in the protagonist and supporting characters, are we not just like the characters in the movie, youth is whistling by, but still nothing has been achieved, do you still remember the dreams of the past?" - Liu Wei's personal movie channel

"In everyone's youth, there will be a lot of wild ideas, but when everyone is thirty years old, and the year of establishment is quietly coming, we will all compromise with life, life is like a ruthless carving knife, changing our appearance, and the song "Old Boy" at the end sings our common mood. —A Guide to Human Cinema

"There is no great joy and sorrow in the whole movie, there is no life and death, just some ordinary little people, but these little people seem to be everywhere around us, making us seem to see ourselves and find the memories of our youth. - Watching a movie

"From boys to old boys, from dreams to reality, "Old Boy" is like a sharp knife that pierces the hearts of the post-70s, 80s and even 90s. - Open Film Class

There are also many film critics who have left the perspective on the other side.

"I think the comedy performance of this movie is very special, different from the traditional comedy movies in the past, it looks very absurd, not logical and realistic, many of the jokes in the movie are out of reality and exaggerated, but it is very funny, and the laughter in front is extremely dense.

The director's casting is also very interesting, several supporting roles with no scenes are very outstanding, often bringing people a sense of contrast, inexplicably being poked at the point of laughter, the actors' performances are also very distinctive, the audience knows that such a performance will not appear in real life, it is very absurd, but they can't help laughing.

I feel that this film has opened up a new direction of comedy that is worth learning from all comedians. —Movie Weekly

“……”

No literary and artistic work can conquer everyone, some people appreciate it and some people scold it.

"The first half of this movie has no logic at all, and the director's technique is not remarkable, funny for the sake of being funny, cliché, kitsch, quick success, in the face of this serious sentimentality, the director uses kitsch comic style to dissolve it very frivolously, the good memories of youth have become vulgar jokes, and the whole movie is just consuming the general public's sense of loss in life. - Xiao Li said the movie

However, most people like this movie, and many people watched the comments of "Xiao Li Says Movie" and went back.

"Come on, let's go find your serious sentimentality, compared to so many pretentious youth films in China, this micro-film can make people laugh and leave tears, I think it's already very good. ”

"This movie is not about winning by technology, besides, the movie itself still has to resonate, many directors can't even tell the story well, what's the use of technology alone, who will pay attention to how awesome your lens language is, we just want to see a moving story. ”

"I'm just an ordinary person, I saw myself in the movie, and I was very moved, an elite like you, I want to find your serious sentimentality to find it somewhere else, don't be disgusting here. ”

Those bad reviews were quickly drowned out by the overwhelming number of positive reviews.

Lin Xuan has been paying attention to the movements on the Internet, and he naturally saw those bad comments, but he also smiled and didn't mind at all.

Everyone's life is in their own experience, different cultural backgrounds and life experiences will develop different aesthetics, my fairy grass and your arsenic are very common, there is nothing to say.

It's normal for someone to not like it.

Lin Xuan's purpose in choosing "Old Boy" is to push Sun Tian and other roommates to the front of the stage, he has already achieved his goal, that is enough.

Moreover, when Lin Xuan watched this movie in his last life, he still liked it a lot, although the story is old-fashioned, but it is not easy to impress so many people with an old-fashioned story.

……

With rave reviews on the Internet, Penguin Video immediately increased its promotion of the micro-movie, and directly recommended "Old Boy" in the best recommendation position on the homepage.

The whole micro-movie quickly became popular on the Internet, blowing a whirlwind of youth nostalgia.

Many people praised this micro-film as the best micro-film in China, and they rushed to tell each other, and posted various links on their social platforms to recommend it to friends.

The word-of-mouth effect coupled with the platform's vigorous publicity, the click-through rate of the whole movie began to grow explosively.

On the third day of the movie's launch, the number of clicks on the movie has exceeded 60 million, ranking as the highest-clicked micro-film in China.

……

"Lin Xuan, I'm on fire, I'm on fire, my brother is really on fire, my Weibo fans have exceeded one million. Sun Tian's incoherent voice came from the phone.

Lin Xuan had expected this, and said with a smile: "Congratulations, you're about to reach the peak of your life, hahaha." ”

"I see that many people say that the laughter in front is very dense, saying that my performance is full of comedy, originally we were a little repulsed by that kind of absurd way of acting, but I didn't expect everyone to like it so much, thanks to your persistence, buddy, thank you for writing the script, and I pulled a few brothers at a critical time. ”

"Fuck off, thank you sister, brother. Lin Xuan didn't have a good airway.

"Hey, hey, that buddy won't be polite to you, I'll take you to a good place to play back. Sun Tian said with a sly smile.

"Don't brag, ......it's up to you," Lin Xuan said disdainfully.

Chen Kai snatched the phone, his face was also full of excitement, and said:

"I didn't expect it, who would have thought that a micro-film could attract such a high degree of attention, much higher than the attention attracted by many movies, many interviews have come to the door in the past two days, and the production units of some variety shows have also contacted us, and many crews have also sent us invitations. ”

Lin Xuan said with a smile: "Now the media and entertainment companies are responding super quickly, and if you are popular, you will naturally have commercial value if you have a topic and attention, and businessmen will naturally come to the door immediately after profit." ”

"That's right. ”

Chen Kai nodded, and said:

"Okay, I won't tell you yet, I was interviewed with Sun Tian, Zhou Fan and Director Yan Hao on a talk show, and now we have to rush over, let's go back and talk. ”

……

In the eyes of ordinary audiences, at most, they think that this movie is very good-looking, the laughter is intensive, and in the end, it makes people cry, and it is a rare micro-movie masterpiece.

However, industry insiders have paid attention to the other direction of this micro-film, that is, this kind of comedy expression that is different from the traditional comedy, as well as the contrasting casting and novel comedy performance.

This movie is full of Stephen Chow's nonsensical things, which are very novel to people in this world.

Many film critics have paid attention to this, some people who feel absurd and disdainful of it, and some critics say that this micro-film has created a new form of comedy expression, and the actors' performances have also created a new way of comedy performance.

Many people who like this micro-film praise Yan Hao, thinking that he has injected new vitality into traditional comedy, and are very much looking forward to his follow-up works.

Subsequently, the video of Sun Tian and others accepting a certain talk show was broadcast, which surprised netizens.

"Director Yan Hao, how did you come up with this form of comedy, now many people say that you have created a new direction for comedy, can you tell us what you think?" the host asked.

Yan Hao smiled bitterly and said honestly: "I really can't answer this question to you. ”

"Why?"

"Although I am a director, I am mainly responsible for the second half of the film, and the comedic absurd style in the front is not my idea. ”

"Oh, it wasn't your idea, but whose idea was it?"

It was Lin Xuan's idea, and he determined this style of comedy, I was actually not optimistic about it at first, and I also objected to it, thinking it was a bit too surreal and did not conform to the logic of life. But Lin Xuan is very determined, and now the results have come out, this form of expression is very popular with netizens, and many people are laughing and crying, I admire Lin Xuan very much. ”

"Lin Xuan, he has never accepted media interviews, but it's a pity that he can't interview him face-to-face. This script was written by Lin Xuan, but I didn't expect Lin Xuan to not only write songs, but also write scripts. ”

The host sighed, changed the subject, and asked:

"So, Director Yan Hao, can you tell me about your casting ideas? Many of your supporting roles are impressive, and there is a strong contrast with people's inherent impressions, bringing a strong comedic effect, how did you come up with this idea?"

Yan Hao smiled awkwardly and said, "Actually, Lin Xuan is also led by Lin Xuan in terms of casting. ”

Sun Tian echoed:

"Yes, the casting is completely Lin Xuan's idea, originally we didn't approve of it, how can a social big brother have thin arms and legs, and he feels that a gust of wind can blow down, which is completely different from people's impressions, but I didn't expect the comedy effect presented in the end to be so good. ”

Zhou Fan also said: "Lin Xuan said that the purpose of his casting is to break people's inherent impressions, saying that this must be very effective, and it turns out that he is right." ”

The host's eyes were full of surprise, and he said: "In this way, Lin Xuan is not only responsible for the script and theme song, but the style of the movie is basically determined by him." ”

All four nodded.

"Sun Tian, the performances of the comedy part of the many supporting roles of several of you have also attracted a lot of attention, using exaggerated expressions and rich body movements, which are also different from traditional comedy, what do you think?"

Several people glanced at each other, and Sun Tian said, "This is still Lin Xuan's idea." ”

The host of "???" was confused, how could it all be Lin Xuan's idea.

Sun Tian explained:

"At first, I was more reluctant to perform that way, I thought it was a bit too exaggerated, and I couldn't find the connection point of emotions, and some reactions were very inexplicable, but Lin Xuan insisted on letting us act like this, and he persuaded us, but I didn't expect it to cause such a big response. ”

The host was a little speechless and said, "In this way, the comedy style of this movie is completely dominated by Lin Xuan?"

Several people nodded.

As soon as the show was broadcast, netizens found out that this kind of comedy was completely led by Lin Xuan, and there was nothing to do with Yan Hao, and Lin Xuan's Weibo suddenly exploded.

"I'm Nima, it turns out that this style of comedy is Lin Xuan's idea??, do you want to be so talented. ”

"You wrote the theme song, you sang it, you wrote the script, you trained the actors, and the comedy style was your idea, which can be said to be your work. ”

"I, Nima, you, a singer-songwriter, wrote a movie script without doing your job, and actually created a new form of comedy in one fell swoop, don't you want to be so awesome. ”

"It's the man I like, it's just amazing. ”
