When one enthusiastic female fan after another asked Wang Junkai for an autograph, Yi Qianxi, who was uncared for by the side, looked a little lonely.
For the TFBOYS combination, Yi Qianxi, who had a pot lid, a collapsed nose, a smile on his teeth, and a slit, became the most unnoticed of the three.
Has it been in obscurity like this?
No, after that, Yi Qianxi began his own path of changing his life against the sky.
In 2018, he participated in the reality show "This! It is street dance", Yi Qianxi's solid dance skills, let many people get his handsomeness for the first time;
In 2019, starring in the web drama "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an", he and Lei Jiayin could not drop the chain, and the costumed little prince circled a wave of fans;
Since then, he has starred in the movie "Young You", with Xiaobei's role, the Hong Kong Academy Awards for Best New Actor, the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Newcomer and other awards, silently stunning everyone.
Until 2021, Yi Qianxi still has four movies to be screened, and one of them has attracted huge attention as soon as it was officially announced, and it has been linked to multiple hot searches.
What movie?
It's Miracle.
At present, the reading of this film has reached 140 million, and the amount of discussion is highly 273,000, and the reason why this movie has such a high popularity is not only because of Yi Qianxi, but also because of director Wen Muye.
Speaking of director Wen Muye's masterpiece, a "I am not a medicine god" is enough weight.
In 2018, "I Am Not a Medicine God" was released, and while the film won 3.1 billion yuan at the box office, it also ranked 42nd in the Douban Top 250 list with a high score of 9 points on Douban, and also triggered the society's discussion of drug prices, which can be called a phenomenon-level movie.
One is the starring film debut to amaze the audience, the other is the director's feature film debut is a blockbuster, yi Qianxi and Wen Muye's cooperation, it is difficult not to look forward to.
01. It is not only Yi Qianxi who has changed his life against the heavens, but also Wen Muye.
Wen Muye, a fledgling leader of young directors, actually has an unknown past behind today's seemingly unlimited scenery.
In 2004, the 19-year-old Wen Muye was admitted to a three-book school with a score of 290, majoring in radio and television editing and directing.
In the first year of Wen Muye's freshman year, the teacher assigned everyone a homework for shooting a short film;
What he did not expect was that after handing in the short film assignment, the teacher praised Wen Muye's short film in front of more than 140 students for being well-shot and talented.
A Wen Muye, who grew up in the eyes of others as a "poor student", found self-confidence for the first time because of the teacher's praise.
I want to be a director!
Wen Muye, who slowly developed the idea of making a movie, has since opened a difficult path to the directing department of the Beijing Film Academy.
Wen Muye, who usually loves to watch movies and brush dramas, due to the poor cultural class, took the exam for a full 3 years, and finally entered the Beijing Film Academy in the third year with a line-wiping score.
Wen Muye, who is strong and strong in Shi Chengtian, has been shooting a short film every year since 2010 to hone his directing skills.
From the FIRST Youth Film Festival to the Global Chinese College Student Film and Television Awards, he has gradually entered Ning Hao's vision with his short films, which has won many awards.
"'I'm Not a Medicine God' will be handed over to you to shoot."
In the face of Ning Hao, whether as a producer, or Xu Zheng as a star, when the official announcement of "I Am Not a Medicine God", no one noticed the unknown newcomer director of the film.
From being inspired by real events to polishing the script over and over again with screenwriters Han Jianu and Zhong Wei, the film script alone has been written for nearly 2 years.
Finally, "I Am Not a Medicine God", which returned to ben within 1 day of release, became a hit, and Wen Muye also became Xu Zheng's eyes:
"People who are born to be directors."
For this sentence, Wen Muye responded unusually soberly:
"No one is born to do anything, I just work harder, prepare more, and be more calm on the spot."
Just as the silent efforts of Yi Qianxi, who learned art at the age of 2 and dance at the age of 5, finally broke out, Wen Muye finally ushered in his moment of breaking the cocoon into a butterfly.
From the opponent of the Best Newcomer of the Hundred Flowers Awards to the two major "Gemini Stars" that have changed their lives against the sky, people can't help but look forward to the fact that the movie "Miracle" may really create a "miracle"!
02. What story does Miracle tell?
First look at the main creative team, most of the new films continue the production team of "I am not a medicine god".
Director and screenwriter Wen Muye, producer Ning Hao, screenwriter Zhong Mengwei, plus Xiu Mengdi, screenwriter of "My Motherland and Me", old friends gathered again.
And Zhou Chucen ("To Our Simple Little Beauty") and Han Xiaohan will join them as new friends.
Looking at the content of the film, the theme is like the history of the struggle of small people in the big era.
The story of the film takes place mainly in Shenzhen, and the protagonist is 20-year-old Jing Hao, who should be played by Yi Qianxi.
According to the plot summary, it mainly tells the story of Jing Hao, who came to Shenzhen with his young sister to work hard, experienced many hardships, and finally succeeded with the spirit of Yugong moving mountains.
At present, the film has been turned on, and the latest exposed poster contains ingenuity and reveals some information.
First of all, from the overall point of view, the background of the poster is an integrated circuit board, and the surrounding area constitutes the shape of various high-rise buildings.
From China Resources Headquarters Building and Kingkey 100 Building, to Diwang Building and Shenzhen Window of the World, there are various landmark buildings hidden in Shenzhen.

It can be seen that it is a Shenzhen entrepreneurial story related to the integrated circuit board.
Secondly, in the center at the bottom of the circuit board, it is both the shape of The Shenzhen Ping An International Financial Center and at the same time like a rocket;
On the rocket, Yi Qianxi's name was written, which seemed to imply that he would soar into the sky.
Finally, in the upper left corner of the poster, the circular circuit resembles the sun, and the sun's light source projects down, illuminating the word "miracle" in the title, as if to herald hope again.
It can be said that a poster hides a lot of careful thoughts, which shows director Wen Muye's pursuit of details and grasp of quality.
Combined with the above information, the story time of the film may be before and after the reform and opening up, showing the transformation of Shenzhen from a poor small fishing village to a modern metropolis, and the protagonist becomes a witness and participant in that era.
03. Can Miracles Create "Miracles"?
To say that the reason why "I Am Not a Medicine God" can be so successful is naturally inseparable from the sitting of Ning Hao and Xu Zheng, the two major soul figures.
So, what exactly did director Wen Muye bring to this film?
The first is the realistic presentation of grounding.
From the friendship between shantytown residents and old ladies presented in early short films, to the high-priced anti-cancer drugs in "I Am Not a Medicine God", director Wen Muye has consistently focused on realist themes.
And the new film is likely to show the inspirational story of "beating workers" in a grounded style.
The second is a straightforward and delicate narrative.
Entertainment, sociality, and soul are the "three natures" that a good movie in Wen Mu's ambition should have.
Just as I thought it was a "comedy" and turned out to be a "tear gas" "I am not a medicine god", Wen Muye balanced emotion, comedy, action, criticism and other elements very well, and thus received a high evaluation from screenwriter Song Fangjin:
"I think your (Wen Muye)'s control is one of the best of all the directors in China."
Not surprisingly, "Miracle" should also be a genre film that is both commercial and artistic.
Among them, the brother-sister relationship between the protagonist Jing Hao and his sister should be an important tear-jerking point in the film.
Seeing here, whether it is the re-joining of Ning Hao and Wen Muye, or the starring role of Yi Yanqianxi, who has both traffic and acting skills, the new film is stable?
It can't be too optimistic, in fact, it still faces a big challenge -
Without Xu Zheng, can Yi Qianxi carry the male number one?
After all, "Miracle" is Wen Muye's second feature film after "I Am Not a Medicine God", and the two films will inevitably fall into a comparison, and Yi Qianxi will face two challenges.
First, can the acting skills be carried?
First of all, "Young You", although the role of Yi Qianxi in the film is very heavy, it is actually Zhou Dongyu who really picks the beam, and the two acting skills are complete with each other;
And to Yi Qianxi's "Send You a Little Red Flower" picked the beam, and Liu Haocun, whose acting skills are more jerky, it is a bit of a mutual "unveiling" meaning, and many netizens complained:
"Seriously suspect that the four-character brother is imitating Jaylen's acting."
It can be said that Yi Qianxi's acting skills are still in the growth stage, and the director's tuning and the opponent's play are more important.
According to the starring lineup of the new film shown by Douban, the one who plays Yi Qianxi's sister should be Zhang Xiran, as a small actor born in 2013, who previously performed well in movies such as "Manslaughter";
Although the little sister's acting skills are good, but the roles are all supporting roles, this time by the "00" after Yi Yan Qianxi and the "10" after Zhang Xiran hand in hand, the opponent performance remains to be seen.
In addition, if Wang Chuanjun and Yongmei can really join in, it will undoubtedly add more acting chips to the film.
Second, can the box office bear it?
Whether it is the 1.56 billion of "Young You" or the 1.43 billion of "Send You a Little Red Flower", Yi Qianxi's current box office performance remains at about 1.5 billion.
This box office performance is naturally good for a new generation, but there is still a big gap compared to the 3.1 billion of "I Am Not a Medicine God".
It can be said that without Xu Zheng, a starring actor with a high national popularity, for Wen Muye and Yi Qianxi, there is a relatively great pressure to create a high box office.
On the whole, compared with "I Am Not a Medicine God" that exposes social ills, "Miracle", which presents the history of the struggle of small people, seems to have a stronger main theme color, and may have more youthful atmosphere like "My Motherland and Me".
In any case, whether it is "post-85" director Wen Muye, or "post-00" starring Yi Yanqianxi, their appearance has brought a youthful atmosphere to domestic films, and they are all promising film successors in the future.
There are talented people in the Jiangshan generation, how "Miracle" performs, let's wait and see.
