Chapter 434 Word of Mouth Explosion
In 2011, there was not a single decent youth film in China, and if one had to be pulled out, it would definitely be Old Boy, released online in 2010.
The reason why the old boy is popular is because he has aroused the resonance of a generation, from youth, ideals, to reality.
It's a pity that Old Boy was only released on the Internet, and because of limited funds, the filming was not very good, and many places were simply taken away.
Zhou Yuwen's novel is actually a deepening of the old boy. Of course, the focus is on love, but apart from love, Zhou Yuwen also includes the struggle before the college entrance examination, the love after the college entrance examination, and the confusion in college.
In the end, of course, I will spend a little time talking about what the group of friends in high school did. The most handsome one became an insurance salesman, and the most inconspicuous one became the most accomplished one.
Everyone gathered together and sighed with emotion. Although the protagonist at this time is a third-rate writer, he can be regarded as well-dressed, giving the audience a certain degree of substitution.
If the old boy broadcast is about youth in the 80s, then Zhou Yuwen's broadcast is more suitable for those born in the 90s to watch. Although people born in the 90s are only about 20 years old now, this does not affect their yearning for the future in the slightest.
There are joys and sorrows in this movie. People who watched this movie left the movie theater. Some people cried and swore that they would never be separated again, while some couples got farther and farther apart.
In the end, everyone couldn't help but parted their clenched hands.
"Break up,"
"Are you going to find her?"
After a while of silence, the man said, "I don't want to leave regrets for my youth."
In short, after the premiere of the movie "Hello Youth", word-of-mouth completely exploded, and countless people began to post their impressions on QQ Zone, Tieba, and Weibo.
"This movie is really good (tears) (tears), I've already bought a movie ticket, and I'm ready to do it again!"
"I fucking admire Zhou Yuwen so much! I originally watched it with my girlfriend, but after watching the movie, my fucking girlfriend doesn't want it anymore! Zhou Yuwen is amazing! The hope of domestic movies! My day! I strongly recommend it!"
"This movie is so real! The male protagonist almost got caught by his mother, hahaha! The director really dared to shoot it!"
"The male lead is too handsome, I can't do it anymore, I'm going to drool, I definitely want to do it again! Let's do it again!"
After a wonderful movie is shown, most people feel a sense of unfinished gap in their hearts. For the first time, they realize that the original movie can still be made in this way. The movies they watched before seem to be those directors of the middle-aged and older generation. I use my mature and stable lens to shoot life, such as A World Without Thieves, Do Not Disturb If You Sing, etc. These movies are naturally good-looking, but they are only suitable for middle-aged people. Most young people will not choose to go to other places except for dating. Watching such a movie in the cinema, but some crudely made movies feel empty and unsubstituting.
The good thing about Zhou Yuwen's movie is that young people are really involved in it, and many scenes are actually experienced.
For example, in high school, the teacher yelled over there: You are the worst class I have ever taught! "
"The physical education teacher is sick, and I will take an exam in this class."
At this time, the physical education teacher appeared outside the door and said awkwardly, "Am I sick again?"
It's such a small shot, which is actually very common, but it resonated with most people. When Zhou Yuwen was shooting these, he just wanted to add what he had seen before to add a little more fun to the movie, but he didn't expect this The spiritual world of young people in this era is much emptier than they thought.
It's been a long time since the movie ended, and few people are willing to leave the movie theater.
Ultimately, they choose to go out and buy another ticket and watch it again.
The plot is not important anymore, what they like is Zhou Yuwen's shooting method, the kind of summer in June and July, the French sycamore trees bring a green shade to the land.
The school in the afternoon is boring, everyone is lying on the desks, the classroom is surprisingly quiet, only the sound of pens rubbing against paper, that is the youth that everyone has experienced, it is the youth of generations.
Seeing these shots, the audience was really empty in their hearts, so they watched them over and over again.
"What do you mean by your movie theater! There is no Rise of the Planet of the Apes? Why are there so many movies for this bad movie?"
In the front hall of the cinema, people who just watched the movie couldn’t help being angry. Only one of the seven screening halls was showing Rise of the Planet of the Apes, and the rest were showing Youth Hello, and the hot-tempered people couldn’t help but curse.
And at this time, the audience who had just watched the first scene of Hello Youth poured in.
"Is there any other schedule for Youth Hello?"
"Yes, the latest one is ten minutes later."
"Give me another ticket, no, two more tickets!"
"Me too, give me one too."
"All the halls are lined up for me today, and I will reserve the night!"
"This movie is so good. It's the first time I saw such a good movie. Really, I feel like I saw my high school."
"Damn it! At that time, there was a girl like the heroine by my side, and I blamed me for being so stupid! Cao!"
"Watch it again and watch it again!"
Regardless of men and women, after watching this movie, I don't want to leave, and I'm arguing over there to watch it again.
And the audience who saw this scene stared wide-eyed and small-eyed later.
What the hell?
Isn't it just a movie that was hyped up by capital? How do you say it's a good movie?
How about we watch it again?
Thinking of this, the person who was still cursing just now couldn't help but said to the front desk: "Give me two movie tickets too."
"Sorry, the recent shows are sold out,"
"How long will it take?"
"It will take an hour."
"so long?"
That night, countless people rushed to tell each other. Some people may think that after watching this movie, this movie is too good, and it is about themselves, but the person who watched the movie with them is not the one they want to watch, so they directly He ran to the school dozens of miles away in one breath, found the girl who wanted to watch a movie together, and yelled.
The girl didn't know why, so she was curious, why did she come to find herself so late?
And the boy didn't say anything, just took her to watch the movie.
That means, isn’t the movie about us! ? Let's not miss it like in the movie, shall we?
We have to be together forever, okay?
So that night, many boys and girls cried over there.
In a word, Zhou Yuwen's movie is really popular, and it is even more popular than the original time and space. The original time and space movie, because it was filmed on Baodao, may not have done enough publicity. With a box office of more than 80 million, most people watched the pirated version, but Zhou Yuwen was instantly popular when it came up.
And it received rave reviews, and countless people posted on the forum that they cried heart-piercingly after watching this movie.
"One of the best youth films ever!"
"After watching the movie, I went crazy and looked for the theme song sung by Zhou Yuwen on the Internet, but I couldn't find it after searching for a long time. I was so angry that I watched another movie and recorded the theme song!"
"Boss sent me a copy, I also like to listen to it, what's the name of this song, it's so nice!"
""Those Years, The Girl We Chased Together!""
"Zhou Yuwen is too talented. Not only is he handsome, but the movies are so good. I heard the comments on the Internet and thought he was overconfident. I didn't know until later, ah, it turns out that everyone who said him It's rubbish!"
"Yes! Handsome and talented! I love her so much, it would be great if it was my husband!"
"No, I feel like I can dream of him tonight. It would be great if I could touch his abs!"
"Love love, has he made any other movies!"
"Youth Hello" became an instant hit, and the theme song "Those Years" became the most searched keyword on Baidu on the first night. QQ Music, Kuwo Music, and other players have search records. For a few days, Zhou Yuwen's voice could always be heard no matter in the streets or alleys:
The heavy rain that I missed in those years
those years of missed love
.....
I only found out when I looked back at the end
The world is bit by bit
it's all about you
When watching a movie that night, Zhou Yuwen prepared a mask in advance, but because he didn't wear it when he entered the movie theater, he was stared at by many people when he went out.
In the end, a brave girl couldn't help but came over and asked, "You are Zhou Yuwen, aren't you?"
"No." Zhou Yuwen shook his head.
"You're a liar! You are! You take off the mask!" As she spoke, the girl started directly.
"Ah ~ Zhou Yuwen! It's Zhou Yuwen! It's really Zhou Yuwen!" The girl screamed.
"Zhou Yuwen? Where is Zhou Yuwen?"
Everyone looked in response, and suddenly saw Zhou Yuwen, and started screaming, thinking about the lead actor in Yuan Shikong, Zhou Yuwen was tall and tall, not at all inferior to the original lead actor, and the original time-space lead actor hadn't sung yet, Zhou Yuwen even sang the theme song , this attraction will definitely detonate the audience.
Countless girls surrounded him and screamed like they saw their own father.
Fortunately, Zhou Yuwen was clever, and took Zhang Nannan's hand and sneaked away, but even so, the movie theater was immediately paralyzed, a group of girls were looking for Zhou Yuwen over there, and everyone who caught them asked Zhou Yuwen, where was Zhou Yuwen?
At this time, Zhou Yuwen had already left with Zhang Nannan.
During the 11th Golden Week, the screenings of Hello Youth in cinemas are basically full. Young people in their teens like to watch this kind of movie, and older people in their thirties prefer to watch it.
Strange to say, before Zhou Yuwen's movie was released, all the experts on Weibo were:
Why do cats and dogs want to make movies? Don't even piss to see how many catties you have.
Hehe, I'll sit and wait for you to be sprayed into shit.
Making a movie is an accumulation, not a one-off.
And when the movie was released, all these bad reviews and bad reviews suddenly disappeared. Looking at the words of these experts:
"I have to say that Teacher Xiao Zhou is really a genius. What he makes are not movies, but the youth of a generation."
"I watched "Youth Hello" over and over again in the cinema alone last night, and I couldn't help crying. Everyone has such a girl in their hearts, but Teacher Xiao Zhou was able to capture what I wanted so perfectly. Come out, I think no one will be able to make such a good-looking movie as Mr. Zhou in the future."
"Teacher Xiao Zhou is really a genius, I want to ask him more."
