As a special cultural pattern, youth films show the groups of young people living in modern society but outside the adult world from a unique perspective, and divide their own territory with obvious intergenerational characteristics. From "To Youth" and "Hurry That Year", to "Later Us" and "Young You", youth films take the group portrait-style growth memory as the story basis, evoking the collective youth memory of a generation.
This year's Mid-Autumn Festival, a youth film called "My Youth Has You" became a dark horse, the box office broke through tens of millions on the first day of release, and also achieved the top three good rankings of Mid-Autumn Festival movies, bringing a wave of fans to watch movies. Among them, Liu Dongqin, who plays the male protagonist Qiu Fei, has been recognized by the audience by virtue of his speculation on the role and details.
This film is Liu Dongqin's first big-screen work in his life, and it is a new opportunity for him. This year, Liu Dongqin also signed a contract with Siba Film and Television, backed by a strong platform, coupled with its own strong strength, I believe that Liu Dongqin will bring us more excellent works in the future!
Step inside the character
The movie "My Youth Has You" takes nostalgia as the keynote and constructs a narrative mode in which memory and reality are intertwined.
The film begins with Zhou Zhou, a 38-year-old architect, on her way home, discovering the hero Qiu Fei's photography exhibition, which covers her 20 years ago, thus beginning a memory of the green years.
The main line of the story is the love story of Qiu Fei and Zhou Zhou, although there is no vigorous bridge section, but this green campus love is as fresh as the summer breeze.
Qiu Fei, played by Liu Dongqin, initially had some anger. As soon as he entered school, he laughed with the male classmates in the dormitory and peeked at the female classmates with binoculars. From the moment Zhou Zhou appeared in Qiu Fei's telescope lens, a green love sprouted.
Later, Qiu Fei and Zhou Zhou were reunited by the shell necklace. On the military training ground, even if the phalanx is far away, their eyes are always intertwined.
Qiu Fei is a scumbag, he has no intention of studying, and he was admitted to this university because of an accident. But because of this love, I found the meaning of going to school, that is, with Zhou Zhou.
When Zhou Zhou missed class, Qiu Fei pinched his throat and pretended to be a female voice to answer and record the explanation for her. In order to find the book "Towards the New Building" written by Cobusier for Zhou Zhou, he ran all over the city to buy the original English version, and if he did not understand English, he stayed up late with a dictionary to translate. Qiu Fei broke into Zhou Zhou's youth with enthusiasm.
With a clean smile without any city government, Liu Dongqin showed Qiu Fei's youthful temperament of brilliant sunshine, and also interpreted the throbbing of youth as delicate and continuous.
For Liu Dongqin, the role of Qiu Fei is not just a superficial image of scum. He deeply pondered the character's heart and dug deep into the character's inner sparkle.
Qiu Fei, who he plays, is not just a "bad" student, Qiu Fei, who has just entered the university dormitory, once shouted loudly that "college is not for mixing."
In order to protect Zhou Zhou, Qiu Fei experienced a bar fight; in order to protect his friends, he experienced a billiard hall fight. In the end, he took on all the responsibilities alone, took over the crime for the senior, and was expelled by the director of teaching played by Shen Teng.
Although Qiu Fei's academic performance was not good, he was full of ideals and enthusiasm, eager to find the exit of his soul, and his heart was full of kindness and expectations for the future.
A rivalry between Liu Dongqin and Shen Teng has also made many viewers have a strong emotional resonance and sense of substitution.
The two "good" words have very different meanings. Liu Dongqin's "good" is firm and powerful and without hesitation, that is Qiu Fei's courage and responsibility, and he is willing to bear the consequences of all this alone.
Shen Teng's "good" has a kind of helplessness of hating iron not steel, and he is also a little unbearable. What teacher under the heavens really wants to expel students? It's all about pushing students to get better.
The performances of the two actors are real and delicate, showing a deep line skills.
After being expelled, Qiu Fei still chose to stubbornly leave, leaving Zhou Zhou with only a translated copy of "Towards the New Building".
This youthful love still can't consume the pressure of reality, and Qiu Fei and Zhou Zhou can only go to the end of the world from now on, leaving this unfinished fragment of youth.
Although Qiu Fei had some intentions and immaturity at his age, he still knew what he wanted and then moved forward.
Life is not just about a piece of paper. As long as you don't give up and run towards your dreams, no matter what the road is, you will be able to reach the other shore one day.
Every look in Liu Dongqin's eyes in the film seems to carry a drama. Especially the scene where zhou zhou said goodbye, see how many people cried...
This film is adapted from Sun Rui's best-selling book "Grass-like Years", which is the youth memory of many post-80s readers. For book fans and people of that era, it is a record and epitome of youth, and it is also a meaningful growth and aftertaste.
Liu Dongqin confirmed the plasticity of his performance through the role of Qiu Fei, and also let the audience feel his solid performance skills. He really went into the heart of the character and gave the character a soul.
Sixth year as an actor
This year, it is already the sixth year that Liu Dongqin has become an actor...
Unconsciously, Liu Dongqin has taken the road of actors more and more freely and steadily.
Born into an ordinary family in Changsha, Hunan Province, he has had a keen interest in acting since childhood. Out of his love for literature and art, he followed his own preferences before the college entrance examination and chose the road of art examination. Not to fail to live up to his hard work, he was successfully admitted to the Shanghai Theater Academy and became an actor before graduating.
Liu Dongqin once played the classic role of Qin Ming in the TV series "Forensic Qin Ming 2: Scavenger". At that time, he withstood the doubts and pressures of the outside world, inherited the forensic doctor's consistent calm and calm style, and did not forget to show his witty and humorous side, and won a lot of recognition in the industry.
Later, Liu Dongqin's composure and wisdom in the fantasy suspense drama "Heart House Hunter" once again impressed the audience. Qin Yiheng, a psychologist played by him, and Jiang Shuo, played by Hou Minghao, joined hands to enter the "heart house world" of the people involved in the case, explore and find out the key clues to solve the case in the inner world, so as to uncover the true face of the six fingers step by step. He not only shows a solid foundation in acting, but also holds his own unique views on the shaping of characters and the control of emotions.
Among the new generation of actors, Liu Dongqin has a strong plasticity, and the roles he plays rarely collide. In the movie "1921", Liu Dongqin played the patriotic and enthusiastic young man Shi Cuntong; in the historical drama "Hundred Refining into Steel", Liu Dongqin played the revolutionary hero Xiao Hua... Each character is a sight to behold.
The excitement continues, Liu Dongqin also has a number of film and television works to be broadcast. "Love is Delicious", "You Are My Hero", "Heartbeat on the Tip of the Tongue", and the Xian Xia drama "Hua Rong" that he is filming in Hengdian and so on...
