For many of us, the third year of high school is a special existence in the memories of youth.
Senior year, senior year
In this year, the pressure of the college entrance examination hangs over everyone's head.
It's like the sword of Damocles hanging overhead all the time.
But, it's still beautiful.
At the age of sixteen or seventeen, the sweetness, bitterness, hard work, and miscellaneous tastes of learning.
The faint affection between teenagers and young girls is also like the green buds drawn out of the trees in early spring, with the new green that crosses the sky, announcing our arrival to the world.
Today, another youth drama focusing on the life of the third year of high school ushered in the premiere:
"Accompany you to the end of the world".
The drama is adapted from Xia Mingyou's classic campus essay "Three Years of K Class", starring Zhang Yao, Xiao Yu, Zhou Ye, Lin Tinghan and others. It tells the story of 17-year-old girl Jing Zhihui, because of an unexpected small car accident, which led to the failure of the placement test, and finally entered the three-year K class with a poor learning atmosphere.
The show was actually filmed in 2019, but for various reasons, it has only been able to air online until now.
A cast of youthful invincibility
Zhang Yao in 1997, Zhou Ye in 1998, Xiao Yu in 1999.
The cast of "Accompany You to the End of the World" can be said to be invincible.
The heroine Xiao Yu, who was still a college student at the time, was her first film and television work in the true sense. Compared with Zhang Yao and Zhou Ye, her performance in the play is obviously lacking.
As for Zhang Yao, he has starred in many film and television dramas, and most of them have achieved good reputation, such as "Young You One Inch Acacia", "Breaking the Cocoon" and so on.
And Zhou Ye's popularity can be said to have made a qualitative leap in the past two years.
In "Young You", the bad girl "Wei Lai" played by Zhou Ye made many viewers itch their teeth, and the success of this film also laid a solid foundation for Zhou Ye's acting road.
In last year's blockbuster drama "Mountain and River Order", Zhou Ye also appeared.
In "Accompany You to the End of the World", Zhou also played the female number two Liu Xichuan, a "foodie" student with extremely poor sports but excellent popularity.
Compared with the female number one Xiao Yu, Zhou Ye's performance is obviously much more natural.
On the one hand, this is indeed due to her relatively rich acting experience, on the other hand, the character is very pleasing, and it is also one of the keys to the success of Liu Xichuan, played by Zhou Ye.
Especially in the opponent scene between Zhou Ye and Zhang Yao, her interpretation of Liu Xichuan is smart and agile, and extremely cute.
It is worth mentioning that this is also the second cooperation between the two after "Young You".
Slightly distorted high school junior life
It is also a youth drama that focuses on the life of a senior in high school, but on the road closer to reality, this "Accompany You to the End of the World" is not as good as the "Don't Go After School" broadcast a few days ago.
But on the other hand, the latter also has its own unique advantages.
At the beginning of the episode, we can see a frame of pure black subtitles:
The cruelty of the college entrance examination is reflected in all aspects, it has both the huge energy of "one test for life", and in many aspects, there is a variety of competition, such as the independent enrollment of some 985.
Under such tremendous pressure, the college entrance examination has long been no longer a "battle" for single candidates, but an ultimate "arms race" from parents to teachers, and then from schools to students.
Therefore, from the moment Jing Zhihui entered the three-year K class after losing the placement test, she made up her mind to return to the A class.
The battle, from this moment on, was officially fought.
First the request for a make-up exam was rejected, and then the class teacher designated as the K class leader, and then because of the arrival of the first xie Jingyuan and the transfer school bully Liu Xichuan, the only two recommended places in the K class were completely out of touch with the third ranked Jing Zhihui.
While "Accompanying You to the End of the World" touches on many aspects of high school life, most of them are superficial or handled in a more playful and casual way, so it will look slightly distorted.
For example, in "Don't Go After School", the desks of high school seniors are piled with various books and tutoring materials, and when they go to the canteen to eat, they not only cannot sit down to eat, but often have to continue to read while eating.
But in "Accompany You to the End of the World," you can hardly see the signs that high school juniors are desperately studying.
This has a lot to do with his original novel.
Xia Mingyou's campus texts, more often, are like a cloaked in college entrance examination or university, but inside is a love drama or idol drama.
For example, for Xie Ihara's setting, it is a bit outrageous:
With an IQ of 200, he can read 20,000 words a minute and recite 400 words.
"Accompany you to the end of the world" did not "accept all the orders" for the original work, but made more rational changes.
However, the facial setting of youth romance novels is still not exempt from vulgarity.
