Chapter 220: Being Beautiful Means You Can Do Whatever You Want
Ever since the film "Those Years" was launched and it was officially announced that Gu Qingge would play the female lead "Lu Manwu", many fans of the original novel have been paying close attention to all the information about it.
The main reason is that it is really not easy to be a fan of the original book these days.
Whether it is adapted into a TV series or a movie, the plot is often changed beyond recognition, as if the screenwriter's presence cannot be reflected without such a major change.
We have to admit that sometimes some dramas that have been greatly revised are indeed successful, but they will inevitably discourage fans of the original novels. And even more dramas, after being changed beyond recognition, not only have their reputations plummeted, but their ratings are also extremely poor.
So much so that now many fans of the original book, when they hear that their favorite work has been adapted into a TV series or a movie, can't help but complain that it has been "miserably adapted into a movie."
However, since the screenwriter of the movie "Those Years" is the original author [Nan Gezi], fans of the original book can still rest assured.
During the filming of a movie, there will always be all kinds of gossip and rumors.
There are rumors that although Nan Gezi is indeed the screenwriter of "Those Years", he did not even come to the crew, so he is actually just a nominal screenwriter and has no real power at all.
The person who can really change the entire movie script at will is the heroine of this movie - Gu Qingge.
After this credible rumor spread, many fans of the original novel "Those Years" suddenly became nervous.
The main thing is that this rumor is indeed very credible. Even during the filming of "Those Years", Mr. Nan Gezi was still serializing "The Great Ruler", but he still updated it with 20,000 words every day without fail. How could he have the energy to take care of the movie "Those Years"?
And with Gu Qingge's current status, she can indeed be a drama queen in this movie and change the plot however she wants.
A fan of the original novel seriously analyzed, "Gu Qingge didn't really want to be in this movie in the first place. She was forced into it by the public pressure created by Nan Gezi and Yi Jiangnan. So she must be very unhappy about it. Maybe she'll just go all out and do something reckless, ruining Nan Gezi's hard work..."
As soon as this analysis appeared, some fans who were already very disgusted with Gu Qingge because they felt sorry for Teacher [Nan Gezi] also expressed their disapproval.
"Gu Qingge knows nothing about screenwriting. If she really changes it randomly, the movie will definitely be a disaster."
"In fact, in the film and television industry, the reason why many dramas fail is that some big-name actors bring their own screenwriters and mess things up."
"Gu Qingge is also considered a big-name actor?"
"Isn't that nonsense? She has such a huge influence in the music industry and has an astonishing number of fans. Even if they haven't read the original novel 'Those Years', they will definitely buy tickets to the theater to support Gu Qingge."
"That's what I told you. It would have been better if Gu Qingge hadn't been cast as the female lead. She doesn't understand 'Those Years' as well as I do!"
"I'm mainly worried about the ending of this movie. Please don't force my goddess Lu Manwu to marry another man. That would be even worse than the ending of the original novel. I'd rather see Lu Manwu and Yu Yuyu together!"
…
Many fans of the original novel are looking forward to the rivalry between the two talented women Lu Manwu and Yu Yuyu in this film. They feel that the interaction between them is even more exciting than the interaction between the male protagonist Fu Jingnan and the female protagonist Lu Manwu.
The male protagonist, Fu Jingnan, seems to be a tool responsible for humor, comedy, sensationalism, and promoting the plot...
When many readers were following the youth drama "Those Years", they couldn't help but tease Mr. Nan Gezi, saying that he was writing a youth story that was destined to have no result from the perspective of the victim.
However, Mr. Nan Gezi's writing skills are so strong, and his mind is so evil that he keeps readers on suspense until the end, making readers think that the tool-man male protagonist Fu Jingnan may have a chance to achieve his wish. After all, he is so miserable in reality, so it would be nice to YY a little.
This is the fundamental reason why readers felt so uncomfortable after seeing the ending. They felt like the male protagonist Fu Jingnan. After all this time, the clown turned out to be me.
But looking back, the more they savored it, the more they felt that Teacher [Nan Gezi] had laid such a deep foreshadowing, and the hidden thread between Lu Manwu and Yu Yuyu was so well written...
Maybe this movie shouldn't be called "Those Years" at all. Wouldn't it be better to just call it "Dancing, Rain and Dog"?
In any case, the selling point of this work is the extremely real youthful feelings. From the perspective of the male protagonist, it is a story of secret love that reaches its extreme and ends in vain.
At this time, although many fans of the original book were very worried that this classic youth film would be "tragically adapted into a movie", as soon as its trailer came out, the fans still went to watch it with a clear conscience.
Li Heming, a freshman, is a loyal fan of teacher Nan Gezi and also likes "Those Years" very much.
Before that, he couldn't help but make some comments online criticizing Gu Qingge, thinking that she would ruin the movie.
Li Heming is actually a bit of an angry young man, and he is also a keyboard warrior. Anyway, as long as it is someone or something he doesn't like, he likes to criticize it on the Internet, and he feels very good about it.
But in reality, he is a taciturn man who looks honest and reliable.
With rejection and prejudice in his heart, Li Heming finally clicked on the trailer of "Those Years".
The first person to appear in the trailer is naturally the male protagonist in high school uniform. Although he looks handsome, he is a bit unkempt and always looks lazy.
Before meeting Lu Manwu, the male protagonist Fu Jingnan was a man with a very high opinion of himself. He appeared in the trailer, and the lines he spoke were all kinds of toxic chicken soup, such as "Never move yourself. Most people's seemingly hard work is just caused by stupidity" and so on.
I don’t know why, but when Li Heming saw the male protagonist saying such heart-wrenching lines, he felt like laughing.
He knew the actor who played the male lead, who seemed to be some school idol from the PLA Art Academy, named Xia Ting. However, he had no idea what works Xia Ting had done before.
But this did not prevent him from thinking that the casting of the male lead was indeed good.
It felt like this actor was not only handsome, but also inexplicably down-to-earth, completely embodying the male lead he had imagined in his mind.
Some actors are like this. The first time you see them, you will find them very likable.
The next shot shifted to a classroom full of students, and "Lu Manwu" played by Gu Qingge also appeared. She sat in the back seat of the male protagonist. When the male protagonist was lazy and sleeping during the study class, she poked the male protagonist in the front seat on the back with a pen.
This scene immediately brought back Li Heming's memories. It was absolutely a perfect restoration!
"The beginning of the trailer is pretty good, it really has that vibe. Gu Qingge's performance as Lu Manwu, apart from anything else, really nailed the look and temperament! She's the kind of actress who can draw audiences into the cinema with just her face..."
Although Li Heming had complained about Gu Qingge on the Internet before, when he actually saw her in the movie wearing a pure white school uniform, he found that he could not resist her damn charm!
Just because you are beautiful you can do whatever you want?
To be honest, it is true!
"I think you should just shave your head." Lu Manyu said to Fu Jingnan with a faint smile on her face.
"If I win, you have to wear a ponytail for a month." Fu Jingnan stretched out a finger and said confidently.
"Sure, a ponytail or any other braid is fine." Lu Manwu agreed.
It turned out that what they were going to compete in was gaming skills.
The male protagonist Fu Jingnan lost, but Lu Manwu still tied her hair into a ponytail, but not because of him...
The scene changed again. Fu Jingnan and other classmates who liked Lu Manwu were sitting on the edge of the playground, but their eyes were fixed on Lu Manwu. She walked gracefully across the playground, still so beautiful, and everyone was stunned.
I have to say that director Guo Yifan is very good at filming. Since the heroine Gu Qingge is so beautiful, her beauty should be displayed in all directions and without any dead ends!
In this way, the audience will also agree with one thing from the bottom of their hearts, that is, if they met a girl like Gu Qingge in high school, it would indeed make their hearts beat fast.
In addition to the male and female protagonists who have lines in the trailer, Yu Yuyu obviously also has some lines, but she read a poem "Yu Meiren" given to her by Lu Manwu.
"Oh my god, how come the actress who plays Yu Yuyu is so beautiful!"
Li Heming was shocked. The overall appearance of the movie "Those Years" was too high. I just don't know how good the new actress who plays Yu Yuyu is at acting. After all, this talented woman role is quite difficult to play...
After the lines were finished, the song "Misplaced Time and Space" finally sounded in the trailer -
"A movie that doesn't fill half the row
Until the lights suddenly came on when the show was over
Subtitles are fixed on a certain production and distribution
I watched them go in a hurry
Like a repeater who overestimates his own abilities
Failure to complete the mission of passing the imperial examination
Fate is not a matter of guessing rock-paper-scissors
..."
When Li Heming first listened to the song, combined with the movie clips in the trailer, he felt quite moved. However, since it was a song composed by [Remembering Jiangnan] and written by [Nan Gezi], it didn't seem like much more than that.
"I blew the evening breeze you blew
Then shall we hug each other?
But I woke up empty-handed like a dream
My heart is empty
I blew the evening breeze you blew
Have you seen the same scenery?
Like disturbing time difference, staying in dislocated time and space
It's empty, empty
I blew the evening breeze you blew
The air is filled with heartache
But we, finally, in this dislocated time and space
End in nothing
..."
When Li Heming heard the chorus of this song, he immediately felt that this song was really good!
Although the lyrics of [Nan Gezi] teacher are a bit mediocre, there is a line "I have felt the evening breeze that you have felt, so can we be considered to be hugging each other?", which is enough!
These lyrics are so delicious that they must have been written by Nan Gezi!
This song tastes just as good when eaten with his "licking words"!
As the song ends, the trailer ends with a scene of Lu Manwu wearing a wedding dress. At the very end, a blue sky and white clouds appear with a line of words on it - Those years, the girl we chased together.
Li Heming became anxious. He wondered if Lu Manwu would really marry another man?
After all, the ending of the original novel is not "healing" enough...
