Chapter 470: "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years"
People live too realistically, so they always hope to pursue the relaxation and naturalness that are unattainable in reality, and to experience the touches that are too late or dare not try in reality.
In the last plane, Taiwan's ghost nine knives tried to use the movie "In Those Years, The Girl We Chased Together" to remember his youth, and he also ingeniously served as the lyricist of the movie's theme song "Those Years".
"Standing in front of the mirror in a daze, awkwardly tying a red tie knot", "Combing your hair like an adult and putting on a handsome suit", "I want to go back to those years, back to the front and back of the classroom seat, and deliberately please you to scold gently"...... There is no deliberate sensationalism, just a real reminiscence, but it allows all those who listen to pull the memory back to the green years when they could laugh out loud and be wantonly.
The three mixed-race girls must not have watched the movie "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years", but looking at the words on the song sheet and listening to Du Xinghe's clean and pure singing voice like a clear spring, they were all moved.
Speaking of which, among the three mixed-race children, only Yan Ruisha is a native of China, who grew up in China since she was a child, and her mindset is no different from that of ordinary Chinese girls, except for her belief in Orthodox-Christianity. She also spent her student life on campus in China.
Because of the appearance of the doll, girls like her are despised in Chinese schools, and not all Chinese children like to play with her, especially naughty boys, who usually tease her for looking strange.
Fortunately, she has her own beliefs and is very open-minded. doesn't care what others laugh at her, as long as she has a good time.
Of course, not all of her classmates looked down on her, in junior high and high school, she also had good friends who played well, and there were also boys who had a crush.
The boy would take a dozen more stops every day to accompany her home, until she got home and got off, the boy got off from the back station, and then took a dozen stops home.
It wasn't until long after graduating from high school. At class reunions. Yan Ruisha realized that the boy was accompanying her by sitting on the bus for so long every day.
At that time, she was so moved, if she had thought that the boy was accompanying her on the bus for so long, what would she say. She'll also confess to the guy she has a crush on.
But alas. Her body is so thick. I'm not very aware of relationships, and it's too late to say anything.
Now listening to the song sung by Du Xinghe, I think back to the years when I chatted happily on the bus. Yan Ruisha's nose was sour.
"The heavy rain that I missed in those years, the love I missed in those years, I really want to hug you, and embrace the courage to miss" "I once wanted to conquer the world, but in the end, I looked back and found that every bit of the world is you" Du Xinghe's singing voice, with stubbornness in the gentleness, helplessness hidden in the excitement, listening with a touch of sadness, how Yan Ruisha expected this song to be sung to her by that boy. Wouldn't it be nice if you could do it all over again?
Wang De and Roland University had studied abroad before, although they had not experienced the Chinese-style middle and high school campus life, but they had a better sense of musicality, and they could hear a lot of deep touches from Du Xinghe's song.
It's no wonder they are like this, Du Xinghe is singing this song, and he himself is moved.
Singing this song, he thought of many of his young and ignorant years in his mind, and of course, he would also think of the very good movie "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" from the previous plane.
This movie is not the first time he has remembered it since he came to this new plane, he remembered it when he saw Cai Xiaobai before, and then he was noisy and played in his mind by the wolf of Huaguang.
He can be said to be very familiar with this movie, and at this time, singing this classic "Those Years", a lot of movie pictures appeared in his mind.
If listening to a movie theme song can remind people of the plot of the movie, it means that the movie theme song is quite successful. I have to say that this song "Those Years" has such an effect.
On the other hand, from Du Xinghe's own point of view, he thinks that it is actually quite difficult for this movie to be scored 60 points, just like the repeated "naivety" in the movie lines, the film technique of this movie can also be described by this word.
In addition to a little trace of professionalism that can be seen in the post-editing, the plot jumps, camera techniques, picture layout, tension and fullness of the story, dialogue, tones, props, and a series of details, etc., are not very professional and even "naïve" -- including the unanimously praised film score and sound effects -- the difference between them and the shoddy Taiwan-Bay idol drama is that the camera equipment is expensive.
However, on the whole, Du Xinghe still has to unswervingly give it a full 5 points.
Just because of emotion, memories, and sincerity.
The youth of each and every one of us is like this.
We probably wouldn't jerk off in class, probably wouldn't have the guts to be naked in front of our mom, and probably wouldn't have fucked a college roommate's asshole yet.
But other than that, we've all been there.
We also sat barefoot side by side under the flagpole by the playground to talk about the future, folded the boat lights and put them in the stinky river pond next to the school, pressed the corridor lights downstairs of her house on the night of heavy rain, and frantically called our mobile phones until they ran out of battery when the earthquake came.
In front of girls, we have changed magic, written love letters, played basketball and played handsome, and borrowed rubber to talk;
We've pulled out the valve core of the girl we like, cut the ponytail of the girl we like, painted her white shirt with a ballpoint pen, and grabbed the snake and put it in her drawer;
We would deliberately stay with her, deliberately walk in front of her with heavy buckets, deliberately quarrel with her, deliberately ride around a bend - following her on a different path after school;
We weep together when she is sad, laugh together when she is happy, relieve her when she is embarrassed, and silently bless her when she leaves......
We all hugged our guitars and made a fuss about the girls' dorm on the day before graduation, but in fact, everyone just wanted to sing to one person;
We've all gotten together to see Ai Iijima, Madoka Ozawa, and O-Uraanna, but neither of us knows what it's really like to be other than a pistol;
We've all handed love letters to good brothers, and the girl herself has been in love for three years;
We all slumped when we fell out of love, but in fact, those wonderful girls have always helped us grow;
We all have our hearts beating faster when we confess, and our hearts are snickering when we face confessions;
We are all looking forward to growing up quickly at the moment of youth, and moving our youth at the moment of growing up......
There is a dialogue in the movie that gives Du Xinghe quite a deep memory, the five boys who have all liked the heroine, said at the girl's wedding: "If you really like a girl, it is absolutely impossible to sincerely wish them eternal happiness." Those like us who put arrows in the back are true love. ”
However, when the girl took her husband's shoulders and walked down the red carpet, smiling and sweetly satisfied, the boy said to himself: "I was wrong - it turns out that when you really like a girl very, very much, when she is hurt and loved, you will sincerely bless her and be happy and happy forever." ”
This is probably true love.
Even in this materialistic and filthy world, such love must exist.
At the very least, we are willing to envision its existence.
For those who have watched this movie, there are naturally many people who are moved, and there are also those who disdain.
It's not a full-fledged film, and the writer-director Nine Knives lacks the editing skills and the ability to make a good story into the structure of the script, and he can't carry the values and thoughts of youth in a youth film - which is actually important. A certain Cheng dù said that he only had the ability to try his best to fully present the memories that he could not get back, but he was reluctant to throw away.
Compared to Christopher, who made "Memory Fragments" at the age of 30? Nolan, Tim who made "Edward Scissorhands" at the age of 31? Burton, Luc who made "Killer Leon" at the age of 34? Besson, David who filmed "The Seven Deadly Sins" at the age of 33? Fincher, as well as Guy Ritchie and Kubrick, who also filmed "Two Big Smoking Guns" and "Glory Road" at the age of 29, the 32-year-old Nine Knives must be a director with no future, but his sincerity, the nostalgia, reverence and even some fear of the lost youth are enough to make every audience who sees this movie pay respect.
Du Xinghe once thought about transplanting this film to this plane, but this is quite difficult, after all, this film is very characteristic of the times, it is a mixture of many elements - the unique way of thinking and outlook on life of this generation in the late 70s of the previous plane, and at the same time, at the level of love understanding, made a completely different interpretation from the past.
From Du Xinghe's personal point of view, the nine knives reveal a strong sense of narcissism in both the original novel and the film works, and this "feel-good" sense of superiority makes the overall tone of the movie more weird; On the other hand, his delicate narration of the ambiguous emotions of his youthful and strong student days is directed to the hearts of the people, which is simply a true restoration of our past years.
The pure and fiery memories of youth, the rich imagination that is very good at telling stories, the not so rich life experience, and the relatively pale film skills, the combination of the four contradictions is a bit strange. But that's why so many people love to see it and are fascinated by it.
Coming to a new plane, youth has changed, but singing "Those Years", Du Xinghe's feelings of remembering youth are still there. Fortunately, in this new plane, he will re-experience the best youth, and he cherishes such a life immensely. (To be continued......)
