Chapter 531 “We Live in the Gutter, but There Are Always People Looking up to Us

Amid applause, laughter and cheers, Li Yang finished his premiere speech in a screening room that can accommodate 500 people.

It was nothing more than the same old routine, talking about how hard it was to shoot, how much the actors had paid, and how important and exquisite this movie was.

But he didn't play the victim. Wu Yuan never liked directors playing the victim at the premiere of their own movies. It was too fake.

After Li Yang finished his speech, the lights in the screening room gradually dimmed, and the big screen lit up. "Better Days" that everyone had been looking forward to for a year began to be shown.

The familiar dragon logo and the logo of Light and Shadow Times appeared first.

With a roar of thunder, the movie began to be shown.

The story told by "Better Days" is actually very simple, which is a campus bullying incident on the eve of the college entrance examination.

Chen Nian is a very introverted girl with excellent academic performance. She wants to get into a good university and climb out of the gutter with all her heart.

But her classmate's suicide incident involved her, and also brought out a series of unknown secrets.

Liu Beishan was a gangster who did nothing all day, but he broke into Chen Nian's world. The fate of the two boys and girls who would have never had any intersection began to change.

Wu Yuan watched it very seriously and was very satisfied.

After the post-production of the film was completed, the company held a film viewing meeting. All the company executives who came to watch the film were very satisfied with the finished film.

Li Yang's strength is indeed strong. Whether it is shooting techniques or post-production, it reflects his professionalism.

The acting skills of the two leading actors are all online. The film uses a lot of close-up shots to show the emotions of the characters, forcing the audience to enter their world, so that the audience can empathize more and arouse more empathy from the audience. This is also the biggest feature of the film.

It can be said that this movie itself is a gamble, and all the bets are placed on the two actors.

If the actors' emotions are well expressed and performed well, the audience will also be brought into the situation.

But on the contrary, if the actors' acting skills are a mess, then the movie will achieve nothing.

It was also because of this challenge that Wu Yuan asked Liu Yifei to try to break through himself.

He won the bet.

Liu Yifei abandoned the fairy image that impressed the audience and showed the audience her acting skills after being trained by Wu Yuan for nearly ten years.

Zhang Yishan's acting skills were also amazing. He said dirty words, took off the shiny appearance of the child star in the past, and struggled in the mud of youth.

Both leading actors made all the audience present "refresh" their impression of them.

It turned out that they were so good that some stereotypes that were originally attached to them no longer fit them.

"Everyone's eighteen years old is different. Some people's youth is sunny, while others' youth tasted the silence of the adult world early."

Sitting in the back row of the screening room, the specially invited film critic, Weibo big V [Xiao Pian Pian Kan Da Pian], was holding a notebook, watching the plot carefully while recording all the first thoughts and feelings when watching the movie.

"Many details of the movie really moved me!"

"At first, Hu Xiaodie drank the yogurt in the box first, because she knew she was about to jump off the building. She was like the yogurt that was drunk. Her life was incomplete."

"The homonym of Wei Lai's name is "future". If the future after adulthood is like this, then such a future is better off not having it."

"Police Officer Zheng's name is homophonic to "justice". He represents the struggle and hesitation of people who have just become adults between adolescence and adulthood. The photo of Chen Nian's mother in the corridor was torn off by Xiaobei silently, and the daisies on the road to the college entrance examination were tied one by one by Xiaobei."

"School violence has always been a problem that has received widespread attention from society and the media in recent years. The teachers, classmates and The police officers could have prevented the incident from happening. They are not non-existent, but they are not the key to preventing the tragedy from happening. "

"When faced with such incidents, we may not be able to ask others to be kind, but we can keep a kind heart ourselves."

"Don't just be an indifferent bystander. You have to know that a small action of yours may change their lives."

"Not every Chen Nian has Xiao Bei's protection, so should those who don't have Xiao Bei's protection suffer such a thing?"

"When Xiao Bei pretended to be a rapist to take the blame for Chen Nian, it really forced my tears out."

""I am nothing, I have no money, no brains. But I like someone, I want to give her the best ending. "This may sound childish in the adult world, but it is the most unforgettable love words of a teenager."

"For Xiaobei, Chen Nian is his future."

"Only when Chen Nian wins, he will not lose."

"For this world, we are all too small, so small that we are insignificant, and all we can do is to try our best to protect what we want to protect the most."

"Before the college entrance examination, Chen Nian asked her mother "Do you believe me?", because the person Chen Nian wanted to protect and gain trust the most at this time was her mother."

"When Chen Nian accidentally killed Wei Lai, Xiaobei asked her "Do you believe me?", because the person Xiaobei wanted to protect the most was Chen Nian."

"Chen Nian did not let Xiaobei take the blame for herself, but chose to share the responsibility with Xiaobei."

"The overlapping shadows of two people on the prison viewing mirror are undoubtedly the highlight of the whole movie. Two people from different worlds finally become overlapping lives at this moment."

With the continuous essays of [Watching Big Movies with Small Films], the story on the big screen has gradually come to an end.

"There will always be shadows on the road, but there will always be sunshine when you look up."

"We live in the gutter, but there are always people looking up at the sky."

On the driveway wrapped in buildings of different heights in a mountain in Chongqing, a 5D magical city specially found by the crew.

A ray of sunlight passed through the middle of two high-rise buildings of different heights and hit the ground of the avenue. Chen Nian was in the sunlight in front, and Xiaobei was in the shadow behind.

"You walk in front, as long as you look back, I will be there."

Xiaobei had a bright smile on his face, watching Chen Nian step by step into the sunlight.

This is the mutual redemption between the two teenagers.

"Just go to Beijing."

Going to Beijing means growing up, escaping school bullying, and living the happy life you want.

No one knows what the future of Chen Nian and Xiao Bei will be like.

But at least at this moment, at the end of the film, the two are free, liberated, and full of hope and expectation for a new life.

The film ended and the ceiling lights came on.

After a few breaths of silence, a loud shout of "good looking" broke the silence.

Wow————

Thunderous applause. (End of this chapter)
