BJ Jingshan Park on the shore of the North Sea, green trees, soft grass, winding paths, kingfishers singing, in the early April sunshine, the breeze blows, there is a sweet smell of nature.

Li Xiuping spread his hands and sat on a stone chair, he was dressed casually, looking young and energetic. He closed his eyes and looked intoxicated, "It's so warm here, it's so comfortable." ”

"Then you can sleep a little longer," Reba sat next to Li Xiuping, who was reading the script with her head down. She has long hair and a shawl, wears a simple long-sleeved sweater with blue jeans, and her young face and slender figure look infinitely youthful.

"Thanks, I'll sleep again, I'm tired for the past two days. ”

Li Xiuping has been really tired in the past two days, he wants to make a movie, the first step is naturally to set up a project, that is, to send the relevant materials for filming the film to **** for review, these materials include the film review application form, no less than 1,000 words of work outline, screenwriter authorization letter, business license, proof of funds, film production license application and a lot of other things, which can be said to be extremely complicated. In order to successfully pass the review of the bigwigs, Li Xiuping read the prepared materials back and forth several times, checked them repeatedly, and after confirming that there were no problems, he sent them to the BJ Radio and Television Bureau for review.

The film review process is first reviewed by the provincial bureau of radio, film and television, and then the approval opinions and materials are handed over to ****, and the **** reviews them again, which is generally completed within 20 working days, and the specific time depends on luck.

Now that the film review has not been completed, Li Xiuping showed the written script to Reba, which is not because Li Xiuping is careless, but that this will not affect future shooting.

It stands to reason that the movie has not been reviewed yet, and the script may not meet the requirements and may have to be revised, but in fact, this review is extremely lenient in terms of subject matter, as long as it is not written in the outline anti-social, anti-zf, or involving ethnic and religious issues, the reviewers generally look at it casually and give it. Because this review is just to issue a shooting license to the film production company, after the film is made, there will be another review, and then the film screening license will be issued, and the second review will be much stricter, and the film needs to be handed over to the bigwigs of radio and television for review, and the blind film is too dark and does not comply with the regulations The film cannot be released at all.

The review standards are different before and after, so many producers or directors review the theme of radio and television when the film is established, and the subject matter of the review may be a positive and helpful character story, and the shooting theme may be a mess of all kinds of negative and negative tragic reality.

This is why many films were banned, but they passed the review at the beginning, because the story outline given by the producer during the first preliminary review was too different from the story filmed, and it was not a theme idea at all. This is also one of the important reasons why nearly 600 films are shot in the mainland every year, and only more than 200 are released.

Although the subject matter of the preliminary examination is relaxed, Li Xiuping does not dare to be sloppy, because he heard that the preliminary examination sometimes has spot checks, and no one can guarantee that the bigwigs of radio and television will suddenly raise the audit standards on a whim, so Li Xiuping tried his best to do a good job and improve the audit materials.

Different from other materials submitted for review, the story outline sent by Li Xiuping is the plot of the movie he wants to shoot, and he did not deliberately write some positive content in order to pass the review, because the story of Li Xiuping's youth film is very sunny and healthy, and it is definitely not the routine of ordinary youth films in the mainland in the next few years.

In 2011, the bent youth film "Those Years" became a big hit, breaking many records in the three places across the Taiwan Strait, and since then, a group of directors in the mainland have taken a fancy to the theme of youth movies, and a number of abnormal youth movies have begun to appear in the mainland, including "To the Youth", "What Year in a Hurry", and "Disappearing Generation" are representatives, the routines of these youth films are smoking, fighting, drinking, car accidents, abortions, tearing, and going abroad.

Li Xiuping's script for this youth film was written in his previous life, and he studied a lot of youth film materials in his previous life, according to his research, in the next few years, the vast majority of mainland youth films can really be said to be garbage, smelly and disgusting garbage.

As one of the film genre films, youth films are popular all over the world because everyone has their own youth, whether it is painful or joyful, almost all audiences can find resonance in youth films, which is why youth films are very popular.

Whether a youth film is good or not, whether it can move people, this is a very serious issue, the reason why mainland youth films represented by "To Youth Stupid", "What Year in a Hurry" and "Disappearing Generation" are scolded and abandoned by the audience is because these youth films only express some extreme behaviors in adolescence, and they have forgotten the most important core of adolescence - growth.

In this regard, the directors of the bend have done better, and the popularity and shine of bend youth films have to start from the 80s, because it was the era when film masters such as Hou Xiaoxian and Yang Dichang began to rise.

In 1983, Hou Xiaoxian participated in the production and directing of the youth film "The Story of the Little Pen" was released, this film is a reflection of the story of the mainland veterans and the new generation of crooked children, in the same year, Hou Xiaoxian also directed "Wind Cabinet Native People", which tells the story of the crooked youth in the sixties, two years later he also directed "Childhood Internet Affairs", and two years later produced "Love Peak Dust", these movies are very historical, showing the confusion and insistence of the people in the sixties and seventies, and the protagonists grow and transform in the general trend.

In 1991, Yang's pinnacle work "Kuling Street Juvenile Killing Time" was released, in 1993 Cai Mingliang's "Young Naza" was released, in 1995 Chen Yuxun's "Hot Bag Fish" was released, in 1996 Yang Zhichang's "Mahjong" was released, and in the same year Chen Yuxun's "Love Lai" and so on.

The above crooked youth films are very contemporary, and the audience can clearly feel the crooked social phenomena in which the protagonists live in the movie, all of which belong to the small and big movies, and watching these movies is equivalent to watching the crooked social survey report.

After the new century, the people of Wanwan began to think of small happiness, and the style of film changed greatly, and small clarity and small happiness began to become the mainstream of Wanwan youth films, among which "Blue Gate", "I Heard", and "Those Years" were representatives.

Whether it is the works of masters such as Hou Xiaoxian and Yang Zhichang, or the later works of Xiao Xingxing, the crooked youth films pay great attention to the growth of the characters, and this growth is guided by the changes of the times and the characters themselves. And the bloody youth films in the mainland, they all blame the growth and time, love has changed, that's the fault of time, friendship is gone, that's the fault of time, the protagonist is nervous, that's still the fault of time, the core of the movie is that everything can't withstand the impact of time, it can be said that it is very pessimistic and negative, but they talk about the ruthlessness of time, but they don't express the social characteristics of different times and times, why this is happening, and what the future will be like, it's just a disease-free moaning @ groaning like a quarrel tearing @ force, just a phenomenon, no core。

Time - in the bloody youth film in the mainland, it is extremely important, because it destroys almost all the values of the protagonist, but it is lighter than a feather, because it has no characteristics, just a sentence ten years later, five years later.

This is the important difference between crooked youth films and bloody youth films in the mainland, there are actually many good youth movies in the mainland, "Sunny Days", "Little Five" and "Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle" are all good, but they were later distorted by the messy movies such as "Disappearing Generation" and "To the Youth", so that a few years later, youth films were reduced to fan movies and became simple money-making movies.

Li Xiuping does not have the skills of Changhou Xiaoxian without Yang, he can't make that kind of big-time movie at present, but he feels that he must at least do it to the extent of "Blue Gate" and "Those Years", maybe he can set a benchmark for bloody youth films in the next few years, so that the audience can more clearly understand what a good movie is and what is a movie worth watching.

"It turns out that this movie is not only for Lingling, but also for the development of Chinese films. Li Xiuping laughed at himself in his heart, he originally just wanted to find Jiang Lingling in the name of the movie, but when writing the script, he remembered the research of his previous life, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of responsibility in his heart, and he felt that he had the obligation to do better.

"Whoa!" Reba was still reading the script, and from time to time she drew a circle of horizontal lines with her pen.

Li Xiuping squinted and looked at Reba, nodding secretly in his heart, Reba is actually not very in line with the image of the heroine, Reba is too beautiful, not very down-to-earth, the heroine of youth films should be ordinary, so that the audience can resonate more, fortunately, now that the makeup technology is good, Reba should be able to transform into the appearance of the heroine in Li Xiuping's heart, and Reba works very hard, which is what Li Xiuping recognizes the most.

"272, have you finished reading it, ask me if you don't understand. ”
