Yesterday, the movie "The Years That Missed You" starring Xu Guanghan and Kiyohara Goye was officially released.
This film is adapted from Blue Fox's online travelogue "Youth 18×2 Japanese Slow Train Wanderings", which tells the story of Jimmy (played by Xu Guanghan) who returned to his hometown and found a postcard sent by his first love Ami (played by Kiyohara Goya), so he decided to take the train, and a journey full of memories began.
Both actors have very good popularity. Among them, Xu Guanghan starred in the MV of Jay Chou's "Three Years and Two Classes" when he was a child. In 2019, Xu Guanghan not only starred in the movie "The Sun is Shining", but also challenged the two roles of Li Ziwei and Wang Quansheng in the time-traveling drama "I Want to See You".
And Kiyohara Goye, who was born in 2002, was praised by many viewers as a "beautiful girl with temperament". In 2015, Kiyohara Goya announced her debut as an actress in NHK's morning drama "Asa", and since then, she has appeared in works such as "Vicious Daughter, Holy Mother" and "My Business is Long". In 2022, Kiyohara Goya contributed excellent acting skills in the movie "Those Who Are Not Protected", and at the 45th Japan Academy Film Awards, she also successfully won the "Best Supporting Actress".
When mentioning his impression of Xu Guanghan, Qingyuan Goye said, "When we first met, I thought he was a very gentle person, because of the language barrier, so I communicated through translation, and gradually got to know more in the process of contact, and when I finished filming this film, I felt that he was very considerate." ”
The director of this film is Michito Fujii, and previously, "The Rest of My Life" starring Nana Komatsu and Kentaro Sakaguchi is his masterpiece. In addition, the producer of this film is Zhang Zhen, who everyone is very familiar with, and this is also the first time that Zhang Zhen has participated in film production as a producer.
I have to say that Xu Guanghan and Qingyuan Goye have a strong "CP sense". In addition to the poignant plot, the music of this film also aroused strong resonance among the audience, for example, the promotion theme song "Birds Chasing the Wind" brought by Zhang Yuan sang fiercely to everyone's hearts. This song "Birds Chasing the Wind" was written by Lin Yifan and composed by Shan Xiaoyuan, "The world comes and goes in a hurry, and what can't catch up is not only the wind, some people rub shoulders and meet, and some people run to their respective skies", the moving lyrics are matched with Zhang Yuan's affectionate voice, singing about the nostalgia for the past and the expectation of reuniting with each other again. This is a very moving song, accompanied by a tender melody, and the various pictures of Jimmy (played by Xu Guanghan) and Ami (played by Kiyohara Goya) in the film will also come to everyone's minds.
It is worth mentioning that the well-known Japanese band Mr. Children also sang the theme song "記憶の旅人" for the film. Actually, director Michito Fujii is a loyal listener of Mr. Children, and he began listening to the group's songs when he was in his teens, so when the director was filming the film, he had the idea of "hoping that Mr. Children would sing the theme song", and Mr. Children readily agreed.
Mr.Children's lead singer Kazutoshi Sakurai's voice is very gentle, with a soothing melody and sad lyrics, which slowly conveys the regrets buried in my heart. When it comes to the inspiration for the song, Kazutoshi Sakurai says, "I used to have 'things that really existed' in my heart, and now I have 'things that I strongly want to get' in my heart, and from the beginning to the end of the film, there is a warmth of nostalgia that flows through, but it seems that I can't touch it again, which is anxious and unbearable, and all I can do is show it in the form of music on the basis of the film." ”
As Zhang Zhen said, "People can't have youth and feelings about youth at the same time, I hope we have the ability to grasp when we are some, and have the courage to let go when we miss it." "In short, this is a movie that will evoke memories of everyone's youth, are you ready to go to the cinema to watch it?
