Awesome! Juvenile》
Episodic version
01 "Ranger" sloppy, melancholy small double
In 2015, Sun Lingfeng, a former captain of the national baseball team, founded the "Strong Baseball Angel Baseball Base".
Baseball once changed the fate of Sun Lingfeng, and he always said that if it were not for baseball, he would be a rogue, and he hoped that the sport would change the fate of more children.
The criteria for selecting children from all over the world are simple and crude – ages 7-12 and poor families.
In 2017, director Xu Huijing came to the base and began to record this story, and the stories of these teenagers and coaches gradually unfolded in front of the public.
At first, the director shot according to the way the group portrait was filmed, but after a long time, they found that the place already had its own order and lacked an "interloper".
The director instructed the coach that if new children came to the base, they must be told.
Until a boy named "Sloppy" appears – the "bad boys" of the base come.
Ma Hu's hometown is in Ningxia "Xihaigu".
The family conditions are not good, but it is the "boss" of the school.
Running with his heels was not a problem, and in this way, Ma Hu followed the teacher of the base back to Beijing.
It is said that there is meat eaten there for three meals a day.
Sloppy is really not an ordinary child.
Within a few days of arriving at the base, the originally well-organized place had been turned upside down.
Hiding the gloves of the other team members, looking for someone to fight, provoking, no rules, no manners, and before long, he became the isolated one.
In the winter, the base is cold, in order to be warm, usually two small team members sleep together, and it is not long before no one sleeps with sloppy.
He felt very unhappy here, because the people in this place did not recognize him as the "boss".
But while everyone was tickled by this naughty boy, they gradually found that this child had become like this, and they did not blame him.
Three months after Ma Hu was born, his mother and father had a fight, and his mother left and never came back.
Dad worked outside the home and didn't come home much.
There was also an aunt, but as soon as sloppy entered the door, she would be beaten out by her uncle.
Grandma is old, can't do any work, sloppy eat a hundred meals and wear a hundred clothes to grow up. After eating this meal, I don't know where the next meal is.
So when he first came to the base, he ate himself up all at once, and I was afraid that the next meal would be gone.
This boy who wants to be the boss at the time also has a vulnerable side, dare not sleep alone, but no one wants to share a room with him, he can only tie himself with a belt, but also hold his own "big white".
Tomorrow tomorrow, I quarrel with people every day, because I am naughty and mischievous, but my father called the video, and he still told my father that he ate well here, and everyone was very good to me.
Especially one day, the director team interviewed Ma Hu alone, and on the way back, Ma Hu suddenly sang a song: Mom, Mom, I miss you...
Directly broke everyone's defense.
The problems of the original family made him an insecure child, and he relied on mischievous ways to win the attention of others.
Ma Hu said that the people in his family gave him a nickname, "Ranger".
Another "male protagonist" Xiao Shuang is very different from sloppy personality.
He looked a little melancholy, and there seemed to be a lot of things hidden in his heart.
The same is true of the facts. Before Xiao Shuang was born, his father died of a sudden illness, and after birth, his mother left him and his twin brother and left.
The uncle decided to give away Xiao Shuang, but he grew too small when he was a child, and the other party exchanged Xiao Shuang for his brother. Many people persuaded Uncle Da to bury The Little Double, and he couldn't feed it anyway, and Uncle Da didn't agree.
Later, the uncle died, Xiaoshuang lived with his aunt, the aunt died, and Xiaoshuang began to follow the second uncle again.
When he first arrived at the base, Xiao Shuang did not eat for several days, and he thought that the second uncle did not want him.
There is also captain Dabao, a single parent, whose mother is unable to raise him;
The youngest Haixin, whose father fell into the mine while working in a gold mine, had multiple crushing fractures on his body;
Little Sword, Mom died of drug addiction, Dad was in prison...
It is such a group of children, the family is poor, malnourished, the future road can almost be seen at a glance, Sun Lingfeng wants to give them a chance.
02 Master
Sun Lingfeng found his coach Zhang Jinxin to teach children. Zhang Jinxin has taught baseball for more than 40 years, and Sun Lingfeng said that "more than 50 percent of the players of the Chinese baseball national team were brought out by this old man."
He had a good temper, and the children liked him and called him "Master".
The master not only taught the ball, but also taught the children to be human.
Some children who seemed incurable to others also had shining points when they arrived at the master.'
The master looks at the child accurately, the small double is stable, but the personality is not strong enough, the more sloppy people are more and more energetic, but there are too many bad problems to change.
Master instructed him: Sloppy, people must gain the respect of others, first of all, they must respect others.
Both Master Shi and Sun Lingfeng hoped that these children would be able to go out of their own way in the future.
Director Xu Huijing once said in an interview that at the beginning of filming, his vision of this story was "legendary".
A group of children from poor backgrounds, after such training, turned around and became a special cattle person, but for a long time, he did not wait for this scene, and in the children, he never staged the drama of growing up overnight.
It was a sentence from the master that woke up the director - "Teach children not to be in a hurry, but to keep an eye on one thing to the end, keep staring, and some changes will slowly occur."
Whether it's a movie or a series, the same is true of how you feel when you watch it.
Change happens unconsciously.
The sloppy tiger who gritted his teeth and said that he was a stray dog gradually integrated into the group.
He gradually understood what Master said, to win the respect of others, we must first respect others.
Even the youngest child is not afraid of him, "his personality has changed."
This child, who almost became a "rogue", was rescued.
03 Cheerful little double, honest sloppy
I believe that many people who have seen the movie remember the end of the film.
Xiao Shuang's second uncle was sick, and Xiao Shuang returned home because of an arm injury, but he refused to return to the base.
A lot of people don't understand his choice.
The director said that he did not understand at first, but later he understood that what Xiao Shuang really needed was the company of his relatives, and he wanted to accompany the second uncle.
At the end, he stood next to a big tree on a hillside in his hometown and shouted to the second uncle on the hillside, Don't leave me behind.
Many people say that after watching that film, they will not forget the tree and the face.
Happily, Xiao Shuang has now returned to the base.
Xiao Shuang said that he had a dream in which he was with the team members again, and what the master often said to him: Losing is not terrible, what is terrible is that he does not dare to face it.
Nowadays, Xiaoshuang and Sloppy have changed.
The melancholy little pair became cheerful, and the "boss" sloppy became honest.
Ma Hu has become the main force in the team, and even knows that he has to worry about the master, he knows that the master's knees are not good, and when he is fine, he will take the small team members.
And Sun Lingfeng is still working hard for the future of the baseball team.
It was he who brought the children out and showed them the wider world, and he couldn't put them back, that was too cruel.
His expectation is that even if these children do not enter the professional team professional team national team in the future, they can be directly converted into his employees and have a job.
"Hopefully, one day, you won't see their past bumps in them."
