The Box Office Champion of May 1 was released.
Five days after its release, as of 11 o'clock tonight, it grossed 597 million.
I heard that the audience who went to see it, without exception, cried.
But this crying method is divided into two groups:
Moved to cry.
It's hard to see crying.
As far as personal viewing experience is concerned, Sir has only one sentence -
Tears are expensive, please don't waste them.
Your wedding
It has not yet been released and has completed the warm-up.
The number of people who want to see the number of people exceeding one million, this number, basically thanks to a man:
Xu Guanghan.
With the reputation accumulated by "Want to See You", Xu Guanghan's single strength is enough to rekindle the audience's expectations for domestic youth love.
But pay attention, just expect.
The turning of domestic youth love, is a Xu Guanghan enough?
Now Douban 5.2 has given the answer.
Once again, everyone was deceived by "youth" feelings.
01
Nonsensical crying
"Your Wedding" is not good to cry?
This is an unavoidable problem.
Sir looked up all the online reviews about "Your Wedding" for crying.
A subtle intersection was discovered.
Did you find a problem?
The good cry of the movie is not more about the movie itself.
It is a line full of painful literary meaning.
Even some sane netizens know the quality of the film in their hearts.
So there was a strange comment of "tears while making bad reviews".
Sir also specifically rummaged through the following lines that appear in the film:
"I don't know, never had, and after having and then losing, which one hurts more?"
"I used to be silly, worrying about the future and wasting the present."
"The feelings of adolescence often begin for no reason, and the end is even more unexpected."
......
truly.
This kind of chicken soup passage that seems to resonate easily, each sentence gives people a sense of substitution of "isn't this talking about me".
But, seriously considered.
But it is also like a universal formula, and it does not make any difference which character or which movie it is on.
So, it's not so much about being moved by the story, it's about being salty and crying by this bowl of chicken soup with too much spice.
So, is "Your Wedding" good or not?
Back to the plot.
The film is based on the Korean film of the same name, Your Wedding.
The film is roughly composed of three stories, corresponding to the three stages of life, high school→ college→ into society.
Sir watched the scene, there were two places, the audience laughed together.
You Yongci (Zhang Ruonan) pulls Zhou Xiaoqi (Xu Guanghan) over the wall to go to the "grove".
Misunderstood by Zhou Xiaoqi as going to the woods to do something shy, he twisted and worried about whether it was going too fast.
As a result, "Grove" is a kebab shop off campus.
And when he returned home from the rain, he was accidentally turned over by You Yongci to a certain color disc with "Mysterious Universe" written on it.
You Yongci asked Zhou Xiaoqi curiously, when did boys see this?
Zhou Xiaoqi mistakenly thought that this was asking for a specific time, saying "11 o'clock in the evening."
11 o'clock thus became a meme for You Yongci to ridicule Zhou Xiaoqi:
"Every day, at 11 p.m., I was thinking that Zhou Xiaoqi was going to start busy again."
These youthful and shy laughs are like small theaters that appear deliberately to shake their wit.
It doesn't help the barren and fractured plot at all.
The opening follows the old setting of "bad boy + good student", and then the protagonist frequently stages the template of reunion, miss, misunderstanding, and separation.
However, compared with the past domestic youth films, "Your Wedding" has brought the PPT narrative to the extreme.
To think of a play is a play, there is no need for the coherence of the transition and the motivation of the characters.
For example, the first time You Yongci and Zhou Xiaoqi separated was because of You Yongci's alcoholic father.
But this role does not have any explanation later, and the next time it appears directly is the funeral.
It is as if a tool to promote the development of the plot appears only because the protagonist's emotional path needs a seemingly reasonable obstacle.
Again, the two missing contacts of Zhou Xiaoqi and You Yongci are also inexplicable.
The first time was because her father came looking for her, and You Yongci had to move.
But what does moving have to do with breaking off contact with Zhou Xiaoqi?
The second time was because after Zhou Xiaoqi taught You Yongci's scumbag boyfriend, the two gambled and broke off contact.
But judging from the reunion dialogue, it didn't take long for You Yongci to learn the truth.
These settings are to put it bluntly, in order to create a scene where the two leading actors have been reunited for a long time, just like the elementary school student essay, to rigidly buckle the theme of "missing".
What is left for the audience is only a few thin declarations of love.
In the intense dramatic conflict of Your Wedding, we see neither love nor reality.
02
Self-deluded love
Netizens joked about the movie as:
"The Life of the Male Protagonist of the Love Brain Who Moved Himself".
The whole story is quite suspenseful: has the so-called love of the male protagonist really existed even for a moment?
We can only see Zhou Xiaoqi's perspective alone, lacking the psychological portrayal of the heroine, so that the role of You Yongci is more like a tool person who assists Zhou Xiaoqi in crazy love for 15 years.
She is more of a recipient of this love than a participant.
Who is she?
You simply can't understand.
For a while, she was an introvert and a good-achieving transfer student;
But as soon as she turned her head, she climbed over the wall and slipped over the wall more than the little bastard.
In school, she is cheerful and open-minded, can ignore the eyes of others, and show affection with the male protagonist;
After being discovered by the male protagonist of the family problem, he immediately had no place to look at himself and cut off all contact with the male protagonist.
From beginning to end, she was a Schrödinger's You Yongci.
Sometimes cheerful, sometimes introverted.
Sometimes generous, sometimes fragile.
And there is no logic between this transformation, simply because the film has to collage some assumptions to her.
Only to create such a vague-faced, split personality of the stitching monster.
Because Zhou Xiaoqi said a sad sentence of "regretting meeting You Yongci", saying that she would give up and give up, did she really love the male protagonist?
Even worse is the typhoon confession.
Zhou Xiaoqi, who retired from the competition, finally confessed in the rainstorm.
You Yongci's first reaction was to avoid.
It wasn't until Zhou Xiaoqi blocked the overturned billboard for her that You Yongci was moved to kiss Zhou Xiaoqi passionately on the hospital aisle on the spot.
For a moment, Sir couldn't tell if it was love or sympathy.
All of the above.
Even if the director is willing to distribute the time of the dog's blood evenly, he will bother more about You Yongci's original family and growth process.
All have a chance to circle back.
And the more completely collapsed role is the male protagonist Zhou Xiaoqi.
In "Want to See You", Li Ziwei crossed time and space only to retrieve the lost Huang Yuxuan.
It's infatuation.
"Your Wedding", Zhou Xiaoqi only revolved around You Yongci for 15 years.
It's called licking a dog.
Why is the gap so big?
Because Zhou Xiaoqi's admiration for You Yongci strengthened his own efforts and ignored the needs of the other party.
He did a lot for her:
Swim hard, quit re-reading, get into college, and set off fireworks at school.
Even in the crucial game, he can give up for You Yongci.
He seems to be circling the goddess all the time, but on what occasion did his actions really benefit her?
Indulging in self-motivated efforts only increases the other person's pressure and sense of indebtedness.
In youth films, of course, there can be immature protagonists.
But since "Your Wedding" did not shoot the change and growth of feelings, it did not want to deceive the audience's empathy and tears.
We can't see the arc of Zhou Xiaoqi's character, and it is difficult to believe in his growth.
A contrast between the Korean version and the Chinese version, the reason is hidden -
At the end, farewell speech at the wedding.
The Korean version of "Your Wedding" focuses on the present.
I've been really happy lately
It's also fun to teach children
That's all thanks to you
Because of you, I have a new dream
You can go to college and meet good friends
You can also become a teacher
Because you're around you changed me
Thank you suddenly
Appeared in my life
But the Chinese version is still telling the past.
In my youth, a lot of time was spent in fights
But there was a fight that I will never forget in my lifetime
Because that was the first time I met you
From that time on, I had only one thought a day
It's about being with you
In order to be with you, I desperately studied
Just to go to the same university as you
To be with you
I also do a lot of silly, impulsive things
But I was lucky
Because we used to love each other so much
If only I could have grown up sooner
Is it not going to lose you
That is, the movie does not really take this love seriously at all, and where will it understand "your wedding, my coming-of-age ceremony"?
This story-0 movie is just using cheesy templates that constantly cue your first love and your youth.
You're crying.
Why are you crying?
The chicken thief of "Your Wedding" lies in the fact that it threatens your weakness and wants to force you to break through the defense.
03
Blown to the head of the foam
Efforts have been made to avoid the "pregnancy, abortion, car accident" element of traditional youth love.
"Your Wedding", still failed to complete the headwind reversal.
The biggest problem is --
It shoots youth into the opposite of reality.
Sir counted the changes to the remake of "Your Wedding", and there were three of them:
The Korean version of the male protagonist's studio was changed to fireworks on the roof of the dormitory;
There is no typhoon day in the Korean version, Zhou Xiaoqi chooses between You Yongci and the game, and the male protagonist only confesses as usual after breaking up with his girlfriend;
The Korean version of the male protagonist has no dreams about sports, and the depression is only a shoulder injury that makes it difficult for him to find a job in school.
These three changes happen to be the key reasons for the low score.
To create romance, suspended off the ground.
I don't know when it began, our understanding of youth is like a fresh version of the eight-o'clock farce.
If you are not careful, you will face a big choice of love and dreams.
At every turn, there will be unrealistic battles.
Take the plot of fireworks.
You Yongci had a fever on her birthday and couldn't see fireworks with her boyfriend.
Zhou Xiaoqi did not know where to get a few boxes of fireworks and moved to the roof of the dormitory.
Downstairs, the onlookers took the opportunity to confess one by one.
Then, I don't know where to get a glow stick wholesale.
It's like a concert.
After the fireworks, Zhou Xiaoqi walked downstairs and shouted to himself, "You Yongci, Happy Birthday."
Students, where is such a university in China?
The film is about youth, but you just don't understand what it has to do with you.
Zhou Xiaoqi and You Yongci are not like high school students.
More like two floating ghosts, in their world, classmates, teachers, and the pressure to go to school seem to be absent, wandering around every day.
You Yongci's "girls' club" in the university, the club activity turned out to be a cheerleader for the men's football team.
Like what?
Female cheerleader with soccer captain.
This is a bridge stage for American high school students.
Some say "Your Wedding" is "Those Years" 2.0.
This made the not-so-special "Those Years", the wind review was even more harmful.
Even if it is just a story of the first love of a young boy who is crazy to chase girls, why can "Those Years" still move people?
Not romantic.
It's all about everyday life.
This is reflected in two aspects.
The first, youth group image.
10 years later, looking back at "Those Years", we can still remember the characters in the film.
In addition to the two protagonists, there is Liao Caibian, who loves to perform bad magic tricks, Hu Jiawei, who loves to draw, and Ah He, who has a fat man in every story...
These various figures constitute the youth group portraits of those years.
The dramatic conflict of excessive force actually weakens the shaping of the daily sense of the character.
In "Your Wedding", you can't call the names of a few good buddies last week.
In a campus that lacks atmosphere and relationships.
Without this detail as a support, the plot picture of youth in the movie seems to be vain and ungrounded.
Look at "Those Years.", on the other hand.
The campus scene was restored with extremely heavy pen and ink.
Every scene has a "record" to follow.
In summer, rows of bikes are neatly parked.
Graffiti on textbooks.
Penalty stand during class.
Even the story of Shen Jiayi using a ballpoint pen to tie Ke Jingteng's back shirt can find the prototype from reality.
△ "Kangxi Lai": The story of Da Ping and the school student era
The story of Ke Jingteng and Shen Jiayi closely revolves around the daily life of the students.
For example, good students and poor students do not deal with them at the beginning;
Play between classes;
A bet on late self-study...
These are all stories that will really happen around you.
These ordinary and real details really restore the audience's memory of campus love.
At the end of the day -
The theme of youth love is a topic suitable for subtraction.
Subtract the thoughtfulness of adults and the conflict curiosity of business love.
Subtract the self-indulgent vanity of the puffiness, and subtract the disease-free groaning of the chicken soup article.
otherwise.
The bubble of "May 1st Box Office Champion" blows no matter how big and gorgeous, it can't stand a poke and break.
