Then there was a not so beautiful kiss, the hero and heroine kissed each other when they met for the first time.
If it were placed in an idol drama, it would definitely make the audience climax on the spot, but here, it can only make people feel boundless depression and uncontrollable distress.
The movie continues.
The next day, Xiaobei found Chen Nian and asked her how much money she had been robbed of, and then took her to a mobile phone repair shop to repair her mobile phone that was broken by gangsters that day.
In this plot, Xiaobei clearly shows his usual habits, whether it is his habitual demeanor or actions, or his conversation with the mobile phone store owner...
All of this made Chen Nian know that he was different from himself, a person who wanted to go to a prestigious university to change his life. They were not from the same world.
Hearing Chen Nian say that they were different, Xiaobei lowered his head with a gloomy face and asked, "What's the difference?"
"Didn't you see everything?"
"Either you are bullied by others, or you bully others."
"Then which one are you?"
Xiaobei lowered his head again and carefully helped Chen Nian fix his phone. He didn't reply. Maybe he was doing both...
Chen Nian and Xiao Bei also started to know each other because of this incident, and the two gradually became friends.
Next, Chen Nian's mother fled to other places because of debt collection.
Chen Nian was ridiculed and bullied by her classmates every day, and was chased for debts by loan sharks. In order to study with peace of mind, she had no choice but to move to Xiaobei's home temporarily.
The cohabitation life of the male and female protagonists officially begins. In the next twenty or thirty minutes, all the previous depressed emotions are swept away, and the audience is shown a collection of some of the beauty and warmth of the daily relationship between the two.
In order to prevent Chen Nian from being bullied again, Xiaobei quietly warned Wei Lai and others, and then followed Chen Nian to and from school every day, silently protecting her.
It was also during this period that Chen Nian and Xiao Bei slowly developed some feelings for each other.
Xiaobei would still be beaten and bruised as he struggled to make a living on the streets, but when he returned home, someone finally bandaged his wounds, and someone finally asked him if he was in pain. They became each other's only support in suffering.
But the good times did not last long after all.
Wei Lai's small group framed Xiao Bei as a criminal suspect, causing Xiao Bei to be taken away by the police for investigation. Wei Lai and others took this opportunity to severely retaliate against Chen Nian.
They beat her on the way to school, took photos of her, and even cut off her hair!
Chen Nian curled up and protected her body with her hands. Her body was dragged hard, and her injured face dangled in front of the camera. However, she remained silent and stared at the group of people with hatred in her eyes.
The person who bullied her.
The eyes of everyone in the screening room were all focused on Chen Nian.
A young girl was tortured into such a pitiable state, and many people shed tears.
Xiaobei came out of the police station because he couldn't get through Chen Nian's phone. He rushed home extremely uneasy. When he opened the door, he saw what he least wanted to see...
Chen Nian's clothes were torn to only a few pieces, there were bruises on the bridge of his nose, and his face was covered in blood...
Seeing Chen Nian who was so injured, Xiao Bei clenched his hands into fists, and the veins on his neck suddenly bulged.
Suddenly, he pulled out an iron rod from the house and rushed out to seek revenge. The disheveled Chen Nian hugged the furious Xiaobei tightly from behind.
Hearing Chen Nian's cries that could no longer be suppressed from behind, Xiao Bei's face twitched in pain.
"They have really improved their acting skills!"
"I said before that Brother Yuan has good acting skills and can play any type of role, and he looks like anything he plays, but those sour chickens just didn't believe me, and they said that the vase is all about face. Now I can finally slap them in the face!
"
"The pursuit of acting in idol dramas is to quickly complete the performance above the passing level. There is enough time to act in the movie, so the pursuit is absolute quality. Brother Yuan is the most standard amphibious actor template in the new era. He can switch himself at any time according to needs.
The performance tension.”
"Yes, some so-called acting and movie stars may not be able to perform well when they act in TV series. TV series don't leave actors a lot of time to try and make adjustments like movies do."
"You know how to be a movie star..."
The movie continues to advance.
The camera showed a close-up of Lin Qingyuan, showing him with his naked upper body and cold eyes as he picked up the clippers and pushed his cool back in front of the mirror.
At this time, regardless of whether it was Irene or not, the female audience could not sit still, and there was another commotion in the screening hall.
"This figure, these abs...ssssssssssssss!"
"It's so handsome that the screen explodes!"
"Is this a photo shoot?!"
"Yudi's figure and eyes are so astringent!"
There is no doubt that in the hearts of these female fans, this is definitely the most handsome scene in the entire film, bar none!
However, Lin Qingyuan's head-shaving scene almost flashed by, and it jumped to the next scene in just ten seconds.
The audience had no choice but to calm down, forcefully recover their wandering thoughts and get back into the movie.
Although I have seen the poster of "Young You" online in advance, and I know the short-cut hairstyles of Chen Nian and Xiao Bei, I have also speculated about what will happen between them.
But at this time, watching Chen Nian's transformation from a long head of hair to a short haircut still made everyone watching the movie uncomfortable, and seeing Xiaobei becoming Chen Nian and shaving his hair into a short haircut, everyone was also deeply moved.
Xiao Bei, played by Lin Qingyuan, is really a rare warmth in this depressing movie.
And this scene is destined to become one of the classic shots of this movie.
In fact, the director thought so too.
This scene was filmed for two days. On the first day, Zhou Qiuyu's head was shaved, and on the second day, Lin Qingyuan's head was shaved.
Plenty of time is enough for each talented actor to fully demonstrate his talents in front of the camera.
Zhou Qiuyu gave a movie-level performance, and Lin Qingyuan also showed an extraordinary performance.
"Lin Qingyuan was not overshadowed by Zhou Qiuyu at all." This is the evaluation made by the vast majority of the audience.
As the movie progresses, the time in the story is getting closer and closer to the college entrance examination, but the plot has some ups and downs.
It turned out that when Wei Lai and others were bullying Chen Nian, a neighbor uncle on the street took a video. Wei Lai was afraid that Chen Nian would call the police, so she begged Chen Nian not to call the police.
Now Chen Nian just wants to seriously prepare for the college entrance examination and change his life, so he naturally hides away and doesn't want to pay attention to her.
However, Wei Lai kept pestering her and asked how much money Chen Nian wanted. He kept insinuating that Chen Nian's mother was being collected for debts and that as long as she had money, she wouldn't have to hide.
The anger and resentment that had been suppressed for a long time suddenly broke out. In a fit of anger, Chen Nian pushed Wei Lai.
Wei Lai failed to stand firm, fell backwards, rolled directly from the top of the long stone staircase, and died unexpectedly.
Chen Nian was panicked and didn't know what to do, so she told Xiaobei about it.
After Xiaobei was silent for a moment, he resolutely told Chen Nian that she should take the college entrance examination with peace of mind and leave everything to him. He just wanted to protect Chen Nian.
So Xiaobei borrowed a car from his brother to dispose of Wei Lai's body on his own, and deliberately left evidence for the police that could convict him.
On the day of the college entrance examination, Wei Lai's body was found, and the police found Chen Nian.
Because Wei Lai had bullied Chen Nian for a long time, the police naturally suspected that Chen Nian killed Wei Lai out of revenge.
Although Chen Nian was panicked, he did not admit it.
Because there was no direct evidence, and Chen Nian still had to take the college entrance examination, we had no choice but to let Chen Nian go.
Xiaobei, who was hiding outside, also discovered that the police were beginning to suspect Chen Nian. At the same time, he also knew that if the police continued to investigate, Chen Nian would definitely be unable to bear the pressure and surrender, and her dream would be shattered.
So on the day after the college entrance examination, Xiaobei kidnapped Chen Nian in front of the police who were following Chen Nian.
The two ran into an abandoned factory, and Xiaobei deliberately made it look like he wanted to rape Chen Nian.
This scene is the most sensational and touching scene in the whole movie.
Xiaobei is determined to give up his own life to take the blame for Chen Nian, but he needs Chen Nian's cooperation.
What Chen Nian had to do was actually very simple, just say that she didn't know Xiaobei.
"I am a person without a future, but you are different!"
"If I like someone, I want to give them the best ending..."
"Only if you win, I won't lose."
"You go first, you go to a safe place first."
"We will meet again, right..."
"Don't forget, you owe me one more time."
When Xiaobei took the last moment to say these words, Chen Nian had tears in his eyes, as did the entire audience.
Lin Qingyuan's performance was so immersive that almost everyone, male, female, old or young, burst into tears when they saw this scene.
At least Chen Encui and He Yuwen had hugged each other and started sobbing uncontrollably.
Industry insiders and film critics at the scene also nodded their heads, approving Lin Qingyuan's performance.
Stunning, absolutely stunning!
Although Ma Fei in Galaxy Cram School and Li Guoliang in The Climber have already allowed this group of film critics to see Lin Qingyuan's explosive acting skills, the space occupied by those two characters is too short and they cannot become standard samples for judging actors' acting skills.
And "Young You" is enough!
At the end of the movie, Chen Nian, who decided to surrender, followed Zheng Yi to the detention center to meet Xiaobei.
Xiaobei couldn't believe it when he saw Chen Nian when he came out, but he didn't show too many expressions on his face.
Chen Nian's face and eyes were a little worried, because she violated the agreement between her and Xiaobei.
Accepting that the truth of the matter was discovered by the police, Xiaobei couldn't help but smile from the bottom of his heart when he saw Chen Nian's arrival.
The two looked at each other through the window, and Chen Nian, who had been feeling depressed these past few days, finally laughed with relief.
But when Xiaobei thought that Chen Nian would go to jail for manslaughter, and that her life, her ideals, and everything else would be in vain, the smile on her face gradually disappeared, and tears flowed out uncontrollably.
Chen Nian knew why he was crying, so she comforted him with a smile. However, as she smiled, she found that she had also started crying without knowing it.
They looked at each other without words, only a thousand lines of tears.
The camera switches and the two people's faces are reflected on the glass window.
Xiaobei and Chen Nian were crying and laughing, and the emotions on their faces were so complex that it was shocking.
This is Zhou Qiuyu's Oscar-nominated scene, and Lin Qingyuan's performance is also not bad.
In the eyes of many people, his performance is even better than Zhou Qiuyu's.
Finally, the screen turned and came to the scene that appeared at the beginning of the movie.
Echoing the beginning and end, long-haired Chen Nian keenly noticed a student lowering his head thoughtfully during class, with a timid look, as if he had seen himself back then.
After class, she accompanied the student home. The camera moved back and Xiaobei, as an adult, followed Chen Nian with a smile just as he had protected Chen Nian back then.
Chen Nian seems to have realized what she said before: "If possible, protect the world."
Xiaobei, who was following Chen Nian, no longer had to wear a hat to hide his identity, and he could finally look upright and look directly at the surveillance cameras on Luyu.
"You protect the world, I'll protect you."
He also fulfilled his promise to Chen Nian.
Although everything now is not as good as the future they once imagined, everything now is developing towards a better future, isn't it?
At this point, the video ends.
The lights in the screening room came on again after more than two hours of darkness.
At the same time, Lin Qingyuan's pre-recorded charity Easter egg calling for attention to school bullying began to play.
All the audience in the screening room stood up and started applauding. This was undoubtedly a successful movie.
The two leading actors are undoubtedly excellent actors.
