"China Partners" has officially entered the filming process.
Three male protagonists.
Lu Hao plays Cheng Dongqing.
Zhang Xiao: Meng Xiaojun.
White Crane: Wang Yang.
All the scenes have been set up.
The first scene of the film is a simple but clean farmyard.
This is the home of the protagonist Cheng Dongqing in the film.
Background: Early 1980s.
Having just experienced the spring breeze of reform and opening up, the college entrance examination was resumed. Cheng Dongqing, who grew up in the countryside, had taken the college entrance examination twice, but both times ended in failure.
But he didn't want to give up and wanted to try again.
He knelt with his upper body naked in front of his mother and the uncles and elders in the village, begging stubbornly.
His mother agreed with tears in her eyes, borrowed money from everyone in the village, and gave him another chance.
The story officially begins here.
…
This time, Cheng Dongqing finally got into university.
The imperial capital is wealthy.
This was his first time in the imperial capital.
It was also his first time to leave his hometown, a small county town in the 18th tier, his first time to ride a train, and his first time to see the bigger world.
He wore a pair of Huili brand sneakers that had been patched several times, a pair of large-size army green pants, a double-strand vest, carried his bedding on his back, and held a thermos in his hand as he walked into the sacred halls of the university.
Standing in front of the glorious university gate, he looked like a country bumpkin.
Country bumpkin?
Cheng Dongqing himself has never denied this word.
Like many college students from rural areas, he is inferior, sensitive, and friendly, but also proud, stubborn, perseverant, and studious.
All the time, I am thinking about changing my destiny.
…
At school, he met Meng Xiaojun and Wang Yang.
"Cheng Dongqing, where do you most want to go?"
When they first met, the two people who were both born and raised in the imperial capital asked about Cheng Dongqing.
"Go to Tiananmen Square and watch the flag-raising ceremony."
Cheng Dongqing answered expectantly and devoutly.
Just this answer made the two of them burst into laughter.
"Cheng Dongqing, let me tell you, in this school, and even in all the schools in the imperial capital, all the young people with ideals and dreams want to go to the United States the most."
Meng Xiaojun is full of enthusiasm and ambition to make plans for the future.
Meng Xiaojun's grandfather, a PhD student who returned to China from the United States, gave him his first English dictionary.
His father, who was one of the second group of PhD students who studied in the United States and returned to China, gave him a second English dictionary.
America is Meng Xiaojun's family heritage.
It was his destiny.
Meng Xiaojun gave a speech at the school, in which he said:
——In this world, no one tells young people how to live. For this generation, the most important thing is change, change everyone here, change everything they do, but the only thing that remains unchanged is the courage at this moment. If young people can do this, they can change the world.
And there is only one place in the world where this can be done - the United States.
…
If Cheng Dongqing is said to be a gifted child who went from the countryside to university through the college entrance examination and achieved his goal of making the leap from a fish to a dragon.
Meng Xiaojun was the son and grandson of the dragon who was born in the Dragon Palace.
But, in that era, many young people like Meng Xiaojun dreamed of going to the United States.
A generation, whose values, world outlook, outlook on life and values, had not yet been fully formed, was greatly influenced by the trends of capitalism and liberalism.
Of course, even now, there are still many such foreign slaves.
…
Another of the three protagonists, Wang Yang, is a typical representative of another type of young college student.
A sophisticated egoist.
Literary youth.
prodigal son.
Rock singer and poet.
One could even say he is a cynic.
Wang Yang was keen on attending various dances. He liked to wear pajamas, be unkempt, and recite poetry aloud on the balcony.
As a prominent figure in the school, he often gives interviews to reporters.
Lucy from the United States is one of his many interviewees.
Wang Yang feels that his generation yearns for everything American, so they try their best to understand America, even better than native Americans.
In contrast, Americans don't understand China very well, and even think that Chinese people have to play a game of table tennis before discussing anything.
In addition, Wang Yang has watched more than one hundred American movies and is familiar with all the American kissing styles.
Lucy fell for his handsome appearance and humorous conversation.
They left traces of their passion in many deserted corners of the school.
…
Unlike these two people who have decadent values of worshipping foreign things and fawning on foreigners, Cheng Dongqing, as the protagonist, is naturally a representative of extremely positive values.
He is very poor at speaking foreign languages and is often laughed at in class.
But he just smiled and prepared to study hard.
Because he couldn't afford an authentic Oxford dictionary, he wanted to borrow one from Meng Xiaojun, but when he saw the "never loaned" stamp on Meng Xiaojun's dictionary, he consciously took his words back.
Then go to the library.
Cheng Dongqing vowed that he would read a thousand books in his four years at university.
It was in the library that he met Su Mei for the first time.
Su Mei played by Gulina.
She was wearing a white dress, with short hair draped over her shoulders, and she looked quiet and elegant. Cheng Dongqing was stunned.
He felt like he was in love.
Of course, it's a one-sided crush.
He wants to pursue Su Mei.
But, there is a type of girl who will reject you before you even open your mouth.
Su Mei ignored him completely.
Cheng Dongqing was in tears.
Meng Xiaojun comforted him, saying that crying for a woman was one of the most pathetic actions a man could take, and that he himself would only cry for one thing in his life, and that was when he appeared on the cover of Time magazine.
