The Hong Kong film "The Backseat on the Sixth Floor", released in 2003, still had a good box office performance in the context of the fierce competition of Hong Kong films that year, and the word of mouth was unanimously applauded. So how did such a small-scale literary film achieve such good results, let's take a look at this classic inspirational chicken soup movie that is almost forgotten.
Backseat on the Sixth Floor is a Hong Kong youth comedy film directed by Wong Ching-jin, starring Lam Ka-hsin, Lo Chiu Yin, Sen Mei, Chow Chun Wai, Tang Kin Hong and Chow Yong Yong, released on June 4, 2003. The film tells the story of six young people who are young and fiery and occur in the back seat of the sixth floor.
The film as a whole is a youthful inspirational, comedy-oriented, but touching drama film. Candy (Lu Qiaoyin), Karena (Lin Jiaxin), Liang Wing (Zhou Junwei), Jean (), leo (Zhou Yongyong), Mei Yan Bao (Sen Mei), six people due to a coincidence encountered a one-year lease of super flat bamboo shoots, the six decided to rent this place——— the back seat of the sixth floor, but also extend the game they played in elementary school indefinitely. They name each person's New Year's goal and set a deadline, and after one year, the lease expires, and each person must also achieve the goal that everyone set a year ago. The six of them had made what was supposed to be a game terrible and serious in two months, and it was sad to go to heaven to carry out the wish they had made ten months ago.
First of all, Candy, played by Lu Qiaoyin, is a godmother who makes a living from tarot card fortune telling, and is often ridiculed by the landlord, and his biggest wish is to find the person who is related in his life. In the film, there are two handsome policemen, one is Xiao Zhengnan, and the other is Su Yongkang, who has a secret affection for Candy and dates her. Candy maintains an ambiguous relationship with both of them, taking turns dating, but never thinks that the final matter will be revealed, and it will end up empty.
But what is amazing is that suddenly one day before the end of the play, another policeman (Ren Xianqi) politely knocked on Candy's door, and suddenly surprised the audience and couldn't help but bless them.
Karena, played by Lin Jiaxin, is a small writer who sleeps late every day and is eager to publish a novel of her own. Introduced by a friend, she met an editor at a publishing house named Jason. Jason was always in a secluded shape and only contacted Karena by phone. But Jason's maturity, steadiness, knowledge and humor revealed on the phone deeply attracted Karena, and she unconsciously fell in love with this mysterious person. And with his encouragement, she began to create "The Backseat on the Sixth Floor"—the story of her and her friends. But neurotic, she often wants to give up halfway, can't continue to create, and her relationship with friends is becoming more and more awkward.
Leo, played by Zhou Yongyong, has always had a crush on Karena, but he is hesitant to confess because he is not confident. Just kept quietly observing Karena, watching her language on the phone with Jason vague and sullen.
As the plot progresses, Jason tells Karena that we don't want to play anymore, he just thinks it's a game, and then the "daddy" on the phone says it all. However, Jason still encouraged her to complete the book "The Backseat on the Sixth Floor", of course, at this time Karena was crying bitterly and could not help herself, and our 10,000-year-old otaku Leo finally gathered enough courage to kiss Karena when it was time to shoot, but the ending was very sad: rejected.
Jean, played by Deng Jianhong, a guy who only wants to make money, goes to business, engages in investment, and the most bizarre thing is to sell breast enlargement pills, of course, there is no accident, and finally they all lose.
Sammy plays The beauty boy looks like a black man, the main comedy in the film, of course, his other film works we are already familiar with his style. "The Back seat on the sixth floor" is also not ideal, and I think his biggest ideal may be to reunite with the little girl of the green plum bamboo horse.
Liang Wing, played by Zhou Junwei, does not want to study and plans to make a personal album, but his mother Du Lisha asked him to study in the United States, so the relationship is tense. Liang Wing repeatedly went to the record company to introduce himself as a sample, but he was rejected again and again, and he had no choice but to sing to the landlord's grandmother. Later, in order to let him go to the United States to study, his mother personally went to the back seat of the sixth floor to play honest and bold with them, and scared a group of small children into the room. At this moment, the song "Sea and Sky" sung by Liang Wing's mother outside was heard, which deeply shocked Liang Wing and his friends. In the end, Liang Wing finally understood his mother's pain.
In the end, the six people had to run their own things because of their dreams, busy lamenting youth, busy looking forward to the future, each of them suffered from gains and losses, which fully demonstrated the young people's confusion about the future and the unyielding tenacity.
In the end, the ending was happy, and "The Backseat on the Sixth Floor" was finally published, and everyone was excited. This also alludes to the fact that young people are constantly experiencing pain and hardships, and finally reap the results that are proportional to their efforts.
The mysterious man jason in the film reads at the end:
Youth is like sugar cubes
Angular, brittle, absurd, sweet
This sweetness is only melted and tasted by the heat of the tip of the tongue
You can't always watch the fire from the other side
There will always be such a stage in life
A stage where nothing is done is also happy
A stage where nothing is also sincere
They are ridiculous and cute
Laugh at them
It's all because we've been ridiculous
Love them
Because we've also been sweet.
At present, many young people are busy "to their lost youth", but what is youth like? Youth is not only full of emotional entanglement, but more is actually the ideal of the vision, we dream, once on the lonely road painful experience, now where to go, this is the best tribute to youth.
