Chapter 62: You and Me in Those Years
Yuan Yumei led the team, Hu Ge and Liu Yifei set out from Yanjing, and the first stop was the Magic City, which was also Meng Qingzhou's home court.
Tangtang and Yang Mi both went to Xingmei Cinema in the Magic City. Although they didn't come, they were still very concerned about his movies.
"Tangtang, did Meng Qingzhou really not have that with you?"
"Mimi, are you crazy? What should I do if someone hears it?"
"What are you afraid of? It's just the two of us. Haven't you answered me yet?"
Tangtang was no better than the gentle Mimi. She was so embarrassed to say such a hard-working thing, and she just shook her head with courage.
The little fox felt mixed in his heart. Is it because he has great charm or is it more important for Meng Qingzhou to regard Tangtang?
This is a very tangled question. Yang Mi, who is not as good as the one who is weak, cannot think through it.
That is, I am so charming, haha, when I think about it, my confidence instantly bursts out!
"Mimi, you're too..."
The relationship between the two women seemed to have made rapid progress during this period. Not only did Meng Qingzhou besides it, they could make an appointment for a party in private.
"What's wrong with this? Confucius and Mr. Lu Xun both said that it's not shameful!"
"Okay, okay, you little erotic girl, let's go to the movie."
"Cut, you will know what to do when the time comes."
After "Those Years" won 8.8 million on the first day, the box office exceeded 10 million for two consecutive days, especially in the hearts of young people who are just entering society, which can be said to have aroused great resonance.
The soul chicken soup articles that can be seen everywhere on the Internet tell the regrets and interesting things of youth. For the current release of "Those Years", this is tap water!
As a post-85s, I have truly experienced the transformation from simple to complex communication tools. I sent notes, called, wrote letters in elementary and junior high school, and went to high school (about 2000) to get an email and QQ.
Later, I had a cell phone and could only send text messages. I went to college and spent every day online. The more mature we were, the more developed the communication tools were, and the more immediate it was.
When I was a child, I wanted to call the person I like, but because I only had the phone number from the other party’s home, I felt embarrassed to call it. I often blushed and hung up with my heartbeat after dialing the number.
Later, when I had an IC phone booth, I would wander around the phone booth for a long time. When I wanted to say something but didn’t know what to say, I would write a diary and write letters. Every week I would go to the wooden mailbox of the school to read through my own letters.
Since Meng Qingzhou has called Liu Yifei back to participate in the promotion, he certainly will not be unable to do anything. He wrote down his pseudo-creation process and his understanding of the movie on his blog!
Most people are talking about "Those Years", which evokes memories of youth.
Indeed, as a director, my intention is to focus on youthful emotional cards.
But, apart from the memories of youth all over the ground, what else is left?
That is the difference between restlessness in adolescence and the love thinking between men and women, as well as this maturity and childish competition.
Please remember one sentence first: what boys pursue is the process, and what girls want is the result.
No matter how hypocritical, lustful, rough, or thick-skinned a man is, he will become a pure little boy or a polite gentleman in front of the woman he likes, but you know, that is not necessarily himself.
Men and women who pretend to be mature are actually the most childish.
Please keep being childish ~
I want to make this movie for those still childish boys, hoping that they can empathize with it, and also want to make the grown men feel sad.
The May Weekly magazine of "Watching Movies" gave a full three editions, introducing the complete story of the movie, and the article was accompanied by a short article by Meng Qingzhou on his blog.
The title is sensational: Shen Jiayi, where are you!
Five days after its release, the box office of "Those Years" has reached 40.12 million. Kim Sook-ri and Yuan Yumei are almost happy. With such a box office trend, can the box office exceed 100 million?
If Meng Qingzhou was there, she would definitely tell them that starting from 2006, domestic movies would have had a box office of over 100 million yuan, which would have been a surprise to the public.
"Those Years" set off a topic about youth, love and dreams that are reflected in reality. There is no story about the movie itself, or even the director and actors, which can attract the audience's attention.
"If it weren't for the last kiss, the movie itself wouldn't be worth five stars - we have all experienced such love. It is not profound or even superficial, but it is broken because it is not dusty and dirt, and it is bitter and sweet. This kind of childishness is to be frozen in the frame of time, and the memorialization with youth is just at that time. Because it is not perfect, you're the apple of my eye."
"I tried to watch a group movie next to her. The sound of heartbeat that shook her hand was still echoing. Before changing seats, I learned that I would be at the same table with her. The night before I went to do so, so excited that I could sleep all night. Youth was a rumbling heartbeat, a slept insomnia all night. The annoyance of not tall figure, as low as the humbleness in the dust, all dissipated with the end of youth. This bright youth film that I had given up twice has the purest taste of youth."
Every boy has a Shen Jiayi in his heart.
She may be the one who always pokes you with a pen behind you, the one who pinchs you with a piece of green and purple next to you, the one who always likes to block your view in class,
It may also be the one that many boys in your class are most well-behaved and most beautiful, or even Shen Jiayi, who is from the next class you pass by in front of her window whenever you have time, intentionally or unintentionally... Every story begins with the purest and most beautiful time.
Shen Jiayi, played by Liu Yifei, is really fresh and cute. She really looks like a goddess of academic dominance, so beautiful that she is beyond words.
On the second weekend, the box office in the three days was 10.22 million, 11.05 million and 11 million respectively. Since then, the total box office of "Those Years" has reached 80.35 million in nine days of release, which can be said to have exceeded 100 million.
Meng Qingzhou's directorial ability has also been recognized by most people in the circle. The two movies are enough to show his progress.
Film directors have the attribute of selling their skills, which is undeniable. How to shoot a movie or not is good or not depends on the skills, that is, the technology of making movies.
Director, he has a "judgement" element in it, and he wants to sell this craft to the audience.
On the other hand, the connotation of the movie is "ism"! This involves the cultural level.
The director will stand on the shoulders of poets, musicians, writers, painters, etc. to see life. He needs to integrate this ability.
This is actually the so-called "ism", which is at the philosophical level and the social level, which requires learning.
Meng Qingzhou is now standing on the verge of cultural people and exchanges his bad reputation for the business card of the new generation of directors!
The Beijing News made an appointment for Meng Qingzhou's first personal interview.
The interviewer was Fang Yun from the Xinhua News Agency Entertainment section. He didn't know what others would ask, and he waited for Fang Yun's arrival in the office at the agreed time.
"Director Meng, hello, I am Fang Yun from the Beijing News. Thank you for agreeing to this interview!"
Chapter completed!
