Extra ten
"You at the Same Table" was released on May 1st, to be honest, this movie is too patterned, the magic weapon of domestic youth films: early love + going abroad, by the way, there is the sentence at the end: We all lost to reality...
In other words, Wen Zhang's line in "The Age of Naked Marriage" is really loud: Reality defeats love!
It is widely used in all kinds of domestic films.
"Predecessor Three" and "Later Us" are in the final analysis: reality defeats love...
From this point of view, the Golden Rooster Award for awarding the best newcomer director to Wen Zhang is definitely deserved!
The first draft of the script of "You at the Table" is short and tightly written, and the background is the "era when you will blush when you wear gloves and hold hands in winter", which is more in line with the feeling of the 60s. And the plot setting is too cruel, the ending is that the male number one goes to prison, the female number one jumps off the building, and the male number two becomes a monk.
Of course, such stories are more flavorful, but unfortunately, the audience is developing towards a younger age, and there are more and more young audiences.
The post-80s and post-90s generations are generally indifferent to the tragic story!
And youth films, filmed for the post-80s, of course, must conform to our sense of the times!
decisively changed the director and screenwriter, and replaced it with a post-80s director...
This is done very right, when the film project is established, the first thing to consider is the class you are facing, if you want to win the award, then go to the road of human nature, the more tragic the story setting, the better, the best protagonist is a psychopath, if you are facing the audience, then don't fix so many things that we are not interested in.
Wang Xiaoshuai's "Intruder" suffered a huge loss, he complained about the market, complained about the theater chain, and the reality forced an 'artist' to become Xianglin's sister-in-law...
Back to "You at the Same Table", first of all, it is certain that "You at the Same Table" is definitely not a good movie in the general sense, whether it is the performance of the actors or the logic and editing of the work, it is full of problems, but it is a very neat structural form!
In a flashing way, the past 20 years before 80 years are told in a general way, at the same table, first love, fighting, Little Tigers, tin toys, English textbooks with Li Lei and Han Meimei, White Rabbit toffee, college entrance examination, parade, SARS, 911, opening a house, abortion, brothers, women, rivals, going abroad, breaking up, getting married, missing youth...
It's enough for our audience to see this thing in the theater!
In addition to the fact that "You at the Table" has been sung for 20 years, the short and tight things at the bottom of the box are understandable box office hits.
This film, Huiwen invested 60%, and the main control distribution...
……
I often wonder why our directors can't make youth films?
Many people, like me, often watch the whole movie in search of a sentence, such as Angel Amilial: Who can I talk to without your beautiful scenery;
Another example is the subway to spring: I don't know what's wrong with me, I just miss her very much at this moment;
Another example is many of Wong Kar-wai's movies, "East Evil and West Poison", "Chongqing Forest", and "Springtime".
Two days ago, I saw such a sentence: One day, you think of a person for no reason, she has made you look forward to tomorrow, but she does not appear in your tomorrow at all.
It's from "Goodbye Jinhua Station", a search on Douban, the score is quite high, a micro movie...
Search again for the director, Bi Xinye, born on January 18, 1990...
Tsk, the same surname Bi, a certain person who has been grinding for twelve years has brought a piece of shit to the audience...
Bi Xinye, the masterpiece "Together Through the Window", "Together Through the Window" I know, in line with the deep hatred of domestic film and television dramas, I have not had the courage to click on it, after watching "Goodbye Jinhua Station", I feel that I really need to find a time to take a good look.
"Goodbye Jinhua Station" is an ordinary work, and it is estimated that the cost of the entire work is less than 10,000, a micro-movie, and a graduation work, which is understandable.
The story is also very simple: a boy in the third year of high school gets up early every day because of the alarm clock given by his mother, but because of this, he meets a girl from the same middle school upstairs, and the boy secretly has a feeling, and on the way to and from school every day, the girl gradually develops a good impression of her, but when she wants to develop further, the girl is forced to move in order to study.
The climax of the story is that the boy reads the poem he wrote in front of him, and the girl smiles slightly, turns her head and says 'like'...
If you change the general director, it is estimated that you will directly arrange a kiss scene or a hand-holding scene, "Goodbye Jinhua Station" does not have these...
The boy seemed to be encouraged and jumped straight up!
You see, when you say it, it's cliché.
Don't say it, but it tastes.
There is no cliché and bloody love, and the theme is very simple, but it really makes an impressive emotion that is difficult to express in many youth romance films of the same type.
What makes this film so fascinating?
It may be the simplest sense of youth!
Bi Xinye is a good director.
Throughout the movie, the girl who lives on their upper floor doesn't say a word, and it is not until the end, at the end of the film, that she says "like".
This is reminiscent of Jiang Wen's "Bright Days in the Sunshine", I really don't know if what really happened when this girl said "I like it", or if it was just what the actor imagined.
In Being and Time, Heidegger divides time into three different states, and the present time we live in is always fleeting, and the so-called present is just a point that constantly becomes the past. So, is it necessary to ask the girl next door if she ever said the word "like"?
In recent years, there has been a wave of youth films in the theater every once in a while, harvesting the itch of the post-80s and 90s generations who have lost it in the years. But after a wave of hustle and bustle, in addition to the superimposed disappointment, the times seem to have gradually accepted this confusion. The rare youth films that can be regarded as well-received are basically from Taiwan, and for mainland audiences, the fresh little taste is good, but there is always a faint sense of strangeness.
"Goodbye Jinhua Station" is full of sincerity, I am moved that it is willing to wear that cheongsam with lice, it is not gorgeous, nor cool, but it is real.
The girl has only one line of all her lines, but this one sentence has the heaviest weight.
"One day, you think of someone for no reason, who has made you look forward to tomorrow, but she does not appear in your tomorrow at all. ”
I have seen this sentence many times, and it shows that it comes from "Goodbye Jinhua Station", which made me interested in this film.
It's just that I haven't seen this sentence in the film.
But what does it matter?
If I had to do it all over again, I'm sure I'd still like you, just as I would if I looked up at the stars in the dark night.
Haruki Murakami once said that memories will eventually fade away, and what remains in our bodies is only the beauty after filtering out the ungood. How life "fades with the years and grows old with memory" is only our pen and image. Every film and television creator is a dreamer after all, just to leave your and my names in the world.
By the way, the poem written by a boy to a girl goes like this:
It's a noisy world
I've never felt quiet
His prosperity
His prosperity
It only brings more exhaustion to people
More complaints
So I covered my ears
Don't listen to his exhaustion
Don't listen to his prosperity
Don't listen to his prosperity
And I don't listen to his complaints
So I thought my world was quiet
It's just that there is always such a person in this world
Even if she didn't say a word to me
But I could hear her
(This section has nothing to do with the work, so it's free...) I was so disappointed to simply watch "Later Us"... Bad movie, garbage, grass, pay me back 25 yuan!)
