On August 12 this year, director Chen Kaige was 67 years old, but the most rare thing is that no matter what kind of controversy and spitting, this Chinese film director with a character like an old naughty boy has always maintained the creative passion of a teenager and the initial enthusiasm for the film, no matter how many film eras he has experienced, his works have an indelible "youthful spirit".
Chen Kaige's famous work "Farewell to the Overlord" is a history of growth full of youthful spirit
Director Kaige is very good at shooting juvenile dramas - from his well-known overseas "Overlord Farewell", childhood and adolescent two generations of small beans, small stones full of personality, flesh and blood scenes, a smile, the corners of the eyes and eyebrows are all with their own acting skills, you can fully feel the director Ofcapie's heartfelt blood and full passion for teenagers (including girls) drama.
Director Triumph from the initial original intention and imageization of youthfulness, after several transformations, transformed into today's unpredictable images and figurative existence, although there are various unpredictable possibilities in the process, but never changed, is the "young original heart" that Director Triumph does not forget. As his autobiographical bestseller "Young Triumph" published that year said, "When people reach the age of 13, they think that they are very important to the world, and the world is just ready to forgive your naivety" - it is the most precious thing not to ask the world to be more kind, to do a good job, and to maintain a pure juvenile heart.

From the film works of director KaiGe for more than 30 years, the cabinet owner has found some clues of "youthful temperament", or the pure initial heart circulation twice and three times, or the "no crazy devil, no life" to play the extreme, or fearlessly create a fantasy world, playing is a heartbeat-like excitement and adventure... Not seeking to please everyone, this triumphant youthfulness is the ultimate feeling of playing in the bone marrow.
Chen Kaige's youthful spirit, the cabinet master is here for you one by one.

"If you don't go crazy, you won't live", this sentence is the true description of Cheng Dieyi's "crazy maniac" in the middle of "Farewell to the Overlord". Director Kaige also entered the state of "no madness and no life" because of this play, and his state of filming is like Cheng Dieyi, obsessed with a thing, he must start from one end, not forget his original heart, dream and die for it drunk, as long as he lives in such an extreme world, how happy should it be?
On the set of "Overlord Farewell", taking advantage of the gap between Zhang Guorong's makeup, Chen Kaige was thinking about how to deploy the next scene
"From one end to the other"? If there is no alternative appearance of childhood little beans, and the forced completion of young little beans, how can it achieve the later "drama madman" Cheng Dieyi? Director and screenwriter Reed of The Triumphant have adapted Li Bihua's original text step by step into the wonderful history of the blood and tears of the old society generation of male Dan, and the pen and ink depicting from childhood to adolescence account for 1/4 of the entire film, in a length of 50 minutes, XiaoDouzi completed the "barbaric growth" from an alternative teenager to a generation of male Dan Cheng Butterfly.
The friendship between XiaoDouzi and Xiaoshi in childhood first appeared, which made a very good preparation for Cheng Dieyi and Duan Xiaolou, who later became horns
Ma Mingwei's childhood little bean has a bit of a brother's charm between the eyebrows, and the casting first succeeded in a big step. Xiaomingwei, who was only seven or eight years old at the time, had a kind of stubbornness of "out of the mud without staining", and his eyes could simply kill people - in the face of the abandonment of his mother, he first doubted and then despaired, and when he faced the disgust of a group of drama boys, he resisted death and was strong, and this childhood little bean became the "big male protagonist" in the juvenile group. Later, he was rescued by the small stones of his childhood, and the few lines of tears left unconsciously by looking at the punishment in the snow from the window became the only model of juvenile performance in film history (although he did not receive any awards, in the heart of the cabinet owner, Ma Mingwei's performance was definitely an unparalleled juvenile male partner in any Chinese film award).

Ma Mingwei's emotional two lines of tears can be recorded in the history of the best performance of the teenager
Xiaomingwei outside the play took a photo with his brother, do you want a pair of large and small versions?
Ma Mingwei's childhood little bean charm just sets off fei Zhenxiang (Sun Wukong, who starred in the Zhejiang version of "Journey to the West" after adulthood, and the director of "Nuqing Xiangjiang") played the childhood little stone "Tiger" - praise for the old little boy tiger head, mixed, fearless, naughty and moralistic. The cuteness of the little stone in childhood is not clear, which is reflected in the kind of righteous anger in him, the inexplicable care of the brothers in the drama class, the domineering spirit of the big brother, and the thoughtfulness of the small beans.
The childhood stone dressed as a line head is still a face of acting
Fei Zhenxiang's scene directly shows the "tiger" strength of the childhood small stone
Compared with the childhood XiaoDouzi and XiaoShi, the two young actors in their youth have some difficulties - Yin Zhi (who cameoed in "Mei Lanfang" directed by Kaige after adulthood, played a male and female costume to assassinate Mei Lanfang, a fan of Mei Lanfang's unsuccessful attempt) Must complete the inheritance from the super rebellion of childhood to the adult generation of male Dan, from the scene to the emotion, it is a super difficult beginning and turning. Yin Zhi faces the dependence of his brother Xiaoshi, the completion of the "beating" of the harsh class master, and the strong violation of the obscene husband, all of which have a sense of layering - the so-called juvenile qi is not presented as a teenager with an adult appearance, but a natural state of precociousness but still juvenile appearance. The young bean is exactly like this, and there is no sense of violation of the "little adult" style.
The young xiaodouzi played by Yin Zhi was so fiercely "perfected by himself"
Yin Zhi's costume is much more moving than everyday
Yin Zhi and his brother appeared on the set
Zhao Hailong played the juvenile small stone than Fei Zhenxiang's childhood small stone a little more, less "tiger", a few years older has gradually been assimilated by the rules of the drama class, but the affection for the small bean is still unchanged, when the drama class rules and the "love of stone beans" conflict, the small stone is still the "time bomb" that is not stingy...

The youthful "Overlord Farewell" is indispensable to the wonderful point of Xiao Laizi, who is very close to Xiao Douzi - the two sneaked out of the drama class to see the famous horn acting, and when they felt tears, Xiao Laizi's sentence "They are all called horns, how many beatings have to be beaten" said the classic. Youthfulness is such a natural outpouring, while rebelling, while wanting to return, while naughty, while anxious to grow...
"They're all horned, how many beatings do they have to get?" Xiao Laizi's line has become the finishing touch of the "youthful spirit" of "Overlord Farewell"

After "Farewell to the Overlord", director Veuve Veuve-Ge filmed another work of "no crazy devil, no life", "Wind and Moon", and the youthful atmosphere in the film was even stronger, although this strong youthful atmosphere was shrouded in a haze. Zhang Guorong, Gong Li and Lin Jianhua play the three adult protagonists uncle Young Master Yu Zhongliang, Miss Ruyi and distant cousin Dragon Boat Festival, and the love and hatred between the three are intertwined, and the drama is so thick that there is an invisible sense of tearing.

In fact, the juvenile era of the protagonist has already begun to see the beginning - Wang Ying's Xiao Ruyi's superficial innocence and innocence, transformed into a sense of horror of evil charm and laughter, is a hidden killing machine in this spiritually distorted mansion; Ren Lei's Xiao Zhongliang was originally a pure and virtuous teenager, but he was forced to a mental breakdown by the twisted behavior of his sister (He Saifei) and brother-in-law (Zhou Yemang), first fear, and then a vicious look was the most fatal blow in the ultimate juvenile temperament of the whole film; the only innocence gave The Little Dragon Boat Festival, played by Greene, he is also the smallest among the children. It is also the most valuable juvenile temperament.

In addition to the young actors, there is also a touch of "thick ink" in "Wind and Moon" - or the young girl's Zhou Xun (who was once an alternative to the heroine Ruyi, but changed roles because of her young age) Although there are only two scenes, they are wonderful rivals with their brothers. Zhou Xun in the first scene is a small dancer who has just debuted, and she has no choice but to show a complex sense of helplessness of "I am willing".
"Wind Moon" Zhou Xun's first scene, pure love little dancer debuted
The second is a senior dancer who has not long since cultivated into a refined, and her hairstyle has changed from smooth straight hair to playful curly hair, and people have also become butterflies that swing freely, and dancing with her brother has also shed the green feeling of her debut, although it is still girlish and Lolita's face.
"Wind Moon" Zhou Xun's second scene, the flower butterfly in the happy scene picks the brother
"Wind Moon" is zhou xun's first "youthful" cooperation with director Kai Ge, which can be said to have ended up in a full hall after the first test of crying. She entered the historical blockbuster "Jing Ke Thorn Qin King" directed by KaiGe for the second time, and became the only juvenile qi in this film - Jing Ke (Zhang Fengyi) found the helpless blind girl in the corner after entering a family to kill everyone at the beginning of the film, the blind girl played by Zhou Xun had no tears in her eyes, only full of hatred, the dagger in her hand was hesitantly inserted into the front of this exterminating enemy, and she failed to hand blade the enemy but fell in a pool of blood, but the girl's determined eyes made Jing Ke afraid, and became the haze of his life... Zhou Xun, who has no dialogue and only relies on his limbs, opened a surprising prelude to "Hedgehog Qin" with a wonderful performance of just 3 minutes, and "youthful qi" also completed the task and left the scene wonderfully.
In "Hedgehog Qin", Zhou Xun plays a little blind girl, with empty eyes but murderous opportunities
It was this look that became a haze that shrouded Jing Ke's life
Like "Farewell to the Overlord" from Xiao Douzi to Cheng Dieyi, when director KaiGe directed the biopic "Mei Lanfang" many years later, Qi Hua (Mei Lanfang's milk name), who was also played by a childhood and teenager actor, gradually transformed into Mei Lanfang, the most famous Peking Opera master in the "Four Famous Dans". "Xiao Baoyu" seconded from "New Red Chamber Dream" Yu Xiaotong was still a childish little Zhengtai, in the eyes of director Kaige, his youthful temperament just fit the temperament of childhood Qihua, although there was only one elegant turn, the sad sense of confusion on Yu Xiaotong's face was full of stories - Director Triumph really picks young actors, and Yu Xiaotong after tuning is full of drama (this scene is much more exquisite than xiao Baoyu who single-handedly picked dozens of episodes of "New Red Chamber")!
Yu Xiaotong, who is still Xiao Zhengtai, played the childhood Qi Hua in "Mei Lanfang"
In the blink of an eye, he was replaced by "Young Qihua" Yu Shaoqun, who was a beautiful teenager who amazed many people at that time, and the low eyebrows of the "drama bully" grandfather Yan Thirteen (Wang Xuexi) and the sympathy for Qiu Rubai (Sun Honglei) who fully supported him were quite in place, not to mention the beautiful Peking Opera appearance, which was simply comparable to his brother's Cheng Butterfly dress, and also made the appearance of the dawn who played the adult Mei Lanfang have to be criticized.
Yu Shaoqun's young Qi Hua also accounted for 1/3 of the entire film
Yu Shaoqun's costume is beautiful, comparable to his brother's costume
At the same time as Yu Shaoqun's teenager Qi Hua, there is also a young Fu Zhifang's Ah Jiao Zhong Xintong, the first appearance is to help the teenager Qi Hua to the thirteen grandfathers to pay tea, this show does not lose the etiquette and do not forget the spirit of the cleverness, is definitely the first step of Ah Jiao from a naïve girl star to the acting school to lay the foundation (unfortunately, several performances of Ah Jiao were not exposed in the final version, only a few stills can see the stubborn youthfulness on her body). It is also because of this clever appearance that the transformation to the "adult FuZhifang" Chen Hong is not so abrupt.
Although he failed to show his face in the final version, the young Fu Zhifang played by Zhong Xintong was also all drama
