Wang Xiaoshuai, born on May 22, 1966 in Shanghai, graduated from the Directing Department of Beijing Film Academy, chinese film and television director, screenwriter, one of the "sixth generation directors" of Chinese film.
Wang Xiaoshuai's movie is more of a sad plot. From the filming of "Seventeen-year-old Bicycle", it went to the international film festival market and won awards.
However, after eleven years of wandering, in 2012, when "I 11" was filmed, it seemed that it had shifted from sadness to confusion, and the years of youth were even more sad.
Until the advent of "Long Days on Earth" filmed in 2019, Wang Xiaoshuai's film directly hit people's hearts, from sadness to confusion to the depths of people's hearts, thus moving towards more maturity.
The director of "Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle" used the prop of the bicycle to show the dangling and melancholy youth of the two youths.
Seventeen-year-old rural teenager Ah Gui (Cui Lin) found a job in Beijing as a courier, because he was promised that when he earned six hundred yuan, he could own the silver shift SUV that the company had temporarily borrowed him.
But just when the dream was about to come true, the bicycle was lost, and Ah Gui fell into despair.
Xiao Jian (Li Bin) is a Beijing teenager of the same age as Ah Gui. Father may have given him a promise of a bicycle, but it has never been fulfilled.
In order to earn face in front of his companions and bubble horses (Gao Yuanyuan), Xiao Jian stole money from his family to buy a second-hand car, not wanting that this car was lost by Ah Gui.
After Ah Gui found out that the bicycle he relied on was "stolen" by Xiao Jian, he began to desperately retrieve it at any cost, and the two teenagers fought to protect their simple dreams.
Eleven years have passed from "Seventeen-year-old Bicycle" to "I 11", which seems to be stepping in place or returning to the original starting point of the director's exploration of youth.
"I 11" In the 1970s, in the third-tier area of the southwest, countless Shanghainese came to this barren land with lofty ideals to build a country.
At this moment, the battalion units of various countries are still in chaos, and the young friends wang xian (Liu Wenqing), Balatou (Zhang Keyuan), little mice (Zhong Guo meteor), and Wei Jun (Lou Yihao) who are studying in the children's school are living a carefree life.
Wang Xian broadcast gymnastics action standards and was selected as the lead gymnastics, so he begged his mother (Yan Ni) to make a new white shirt for him.
However, when he was playing by the river, his shirt accidentally fell into the water, and as a result, he accidentally encountered Xie Jueqiang (Wang Ziyi), a murderer who was hunted down by the police, and deduced an unexpected story.
It was another seven years, "The Long Day" came out, and the director who had explored the film industry for a long time began to penetrate into a new field, that is, people's hearts.
The film "Long Days on Earth" tells the story of the joys and sorrows of several families in China in the thirty years from the early 1980s to the beginning of the 21st century.
When it comes to the main line, it is a typical character narrative, especially the pain of three times the loss of his son endured by Yao Jun.
At the beginning of the story, The Yaojun Liyun family had a very good relationship with their colleagues Wise and newly built two families, and the three families were as close as one family.
Liu Xing, the son of Yao Jun, and Shen Hao, the son of Ying Ming, were the only seedlings in the family, and they were born on the same day in the same month of the same year, so that the parents of both sides made a pact of "being brothers for a lifetime".
However, the wise wife Haiyan is in charge of family planning work, and under the high pressure of the family planning policy, Haiyan does Liyun work to beat off the second child and is infertile for a lifetime.
A few years later, an accident caused by Shen Hao occurred, and Yao Jun lost his beloved son Liu Xing.
The shadow of the Hand of Fate hung over Yao Jun and Li Yun, who decided to leave this sad place and go south.
However, the passage of time can only make people grow old and dilute the past, but the scars in the depths of the soul are difficult to heal.
The earth is long, thirty years is just a thought. Everything will pass, and this has really become a hurdle that cannot be passed in a lifetime. In the end, no one reconciled, just forget it.
Life is like this, and it is also against the heart to let the things that cannot be lived be forced to pass. It can only be a temporary dilution, and after a long time, it will fade and fade, slowly run in, and the sky will last for a long time.
