I don't know what Tang Danian has for the plot of the elderly man living alone with his grandchildren and girls, worrying about the marriage of girls, the girl's emotional unhappiness and unexpected pregnancy, the two movies written by him that are nearly twenty years apart, "Beijing You Are Early" and "Looking for HanJi", are telling such stories.
Ai Hong, the girl in "Beijing You Early", sells tickets on the bus, is particularly strong, and her interaction with boys is both active and natural, and she is a natural male conqueror. In this film, she is constantly moving from one male to another. At first, she got along with her colleagues who sold tickets together, and then a new driver master came up on the bus and became her second boyfriend. Although everyone is a bus company, but the driver has technology, a higher status, no need to do chores, the driver's father is still the old man of the bus company, which is a family background.
Her third boyfriend picked her up on the bus, claiming to be an international student from Singapore, haunting the hipster and expensive foreign-owned company area, taking her to clubbing to listen to Cui Jian. After she became pregnant, the boyfriend disappeared, she went to the international student building to find him, and the doorkeeper said that she had not heard of any international students in Singapore. The camera swept behind her, and the dark-skinned and Arab-blooded students walked past.
Hearing about this, her first two boyfriends went from enemies to friends, banded together, and beat up the third boyfriend.
Afterwards, two men waited on the side of the road late at night for the bus, and the last bus had been missed, and one said to the other: Let's go. Just at this moment, the sprinkler truck at night drove by, and the fan-faced water column glowed under the street lamp, and there was unspeakable heartache and romance at that moment.
"Hello Beijing" is a great masterpiece.
Ai Hong is a small person in the era of great transition, trying to seize the opportunities in the big era and enhance her social class through her own gender dividend. Her first boyfriend was from the bottom like her, and her second boyfriend was honest and peaceful, did not want to go out of the system, and only she bravely challenged fate with her only little capital.
In the recent new film "Looking for Han Ji", the once-rushing class of the big era is becoming more and more solidified, and the heroine Wang Zhao is an extreme flattering personality, and she and the male protagonist Du Wei are small people who are willing to be marginalized. Wang Zhao found a father for the child in his belly, and will also form a family of three to live in the future - curious if they will be chicken babies?
"Looking for Han Ji" is worth watching just because of the performance. It is rare to find such a relaxed and natural modern drama, the character goes out to pull on the down jacket zipper, chat will chat about "this day to take off the autumn pants early", the community is narrow enough to be able to enter and exit, can only calmly and straight backwards and backwards out - "Looking for Han Ji" is a movie with a realistic spirit, at least the details are realistic, which is not easy.
What disappoints "Looking for Han Ji" is the language of the film, which can be said to be no pursuit - Tang Danian is mainly a screenwriter.
The film language of "Beijing You Are Early" is too good, with dilapidated bungalows, old public houses, buses, tall foreign companies, vibrant universities, and the streets of the early 1990s, and the scheduling of each scene is calm. The psychological activities of even small characters are also handled delicately and richly, and the personality and feelings of each character have a beginning and an end, and the feelings between several people are not clear, but they are clearly filmed.
Then again, the two films are really similar in some places, and even the male protagonists sing a song. The third boyfriend in "Beijing You Are Early" sang Cui Jian's "False Monk", with the kind of exaggeration, rebellion and enthusiasm of the 80s of the last century; Du Wei's folk songs in "Looking for Han Ji" tell some plausible life feelings, at best, it is a small freshness.
"Beijing You Are Early" is a movie that makes people feel emotional. Director Zhang Nunxin has been dead for many years, and the fate of several male and female protagonists is regrettable, and the film made by screenwriter Tang Danian a few years ago was inexplicably parachuted into the May Day period in 2021, with a fiasco at the box office and a mixed reputation.
The Beijing culture, which was once popular and carried out dimensionality reduction strikes against literary and artistic youth across the country, is outdated, Wang Shuo Feng Xiaogang is all in the past, and the Beijing flavor of "Looking for Han Ji" only makes people feel retro.
