the Internet Movie "old boy" recalls youth singing and crying after 80
in November 5th, the film director Xiao Yang and starring Wang Taili attended the short film meeting in Beijing. Before meeting the meeting, two people told the newspaper reporters the process of "old boys", and was pleased to mention that investors found them to take real movies.
who are these two people?
the "chopsticks brother" in "old boy" is a real combination of Xiao Yang and Wang Taili's amateur video film for music, where the previous work "where you are" has been a good reaction on the Internet. Xiao Yang, the director of the film, was born in 1980. Born in Chengde, Hebei, he claimed to be in the middle of 70 and after 80. After graduation from the advertising major of Beijing Film Academy, he took an advertisement directly, but it was always in a state of full and hungry. In 2005, Wang Taili, a music broker, introduced the advertising shooting task to Xiao Yang who had not yet graduated, and the two became friends from then on. From Shandong, Wang Tai Li was born in 1969, this year has been 41 years old, in 1997 with his father's 1800 yuan to Beijing, 600 bought a pager, 300 to pay rent, with the rest of the 900 yuan began to drift north, "then every day to cut noodles."
early this year, "chopsticks combination" was seen by the "11 degree youth series". Pan Qin, the vice president of Youku, told reporters that 10 young directors had taken into consideration diversification. Yin Lichuan was a new person who had just made a film, Zhang Yadong had never made a film, but Xiao Yang was on the Internet, and the script was on the Internet. It is also in line with the current mood of nostalgia, so the "old boy" has not been finished, the investor is full of expectations, after the finished product is more surprising, so Youku will be "old boy" arrangement of the press line.
creative use MJ to remember the youth
"old boy" with Michael Jackson from glory to death as a dark line, together two men, Shaw Dabao and Wang Xiaoshuai's growth experience. Xiao Yang said that it was Michael Jackson's sudden death that stimulated him to finish the story. After learning Michael Jackson's death in June 25, 2009, Wang Taili called him and said, "MJ is gone. We don't have much time. It's time to do something meaningful." The two people just wanted to give "the old boy" to "thank you" with his original MV. The short film of the previous two was the original MV with a famous song.
Michael's sudden death made them more ambitious. Xiao Yang feels that Michael Jackson's life and the 70 after the growth trajectory is more consistent, "when he is most brilliant, we are carefree in high school and are full of expectations for the future." When he was entangled in child abuse, we entered the society and faced challenges. When he died, we faced the choice after 30 years old. He changed from a mythical idol to a mortal mortal. We also changed from sunshine boy to a struggling little man in a big city.
nostalgic because the reality pressure is too big
Xiao Yang in the advertising director of the wedding, in small and medium time, often bullied male bag white, grow up after the Mercedes Benz. Xiao Yang also encountered a similar thing: "a group of old students talk about the past, talk about the past, and talk about now on the trembling, the most feared to mention is to make money, because the gap between each other is huge." In the old boy, a broadcast sample was inserted, and the announcer spoke about the country's rapid development, while the other said it was forced and soaring. Xiao Yang and his friends often exclaimed: "the development of the country is really fast, and it is a little behind." Perhaps all kinds of emotions touch many people's nerves, so the old boy got a great response after being on the line.
Xiao Yang analysis, "70 after the nostalgia is a trend of thought, when we were very happy when we were young, the times gave us a chance to dream, but now the pressure of survival has reached a critical point, and we can only find happiness in the memory."
Xiao Yang does not deny that he has been influenced by the MV "Kurumi" of the Japanese group Mr Children, which tells the story of a few Japanese middle-aged men who reminiscent of the music dream of the year and reorganizing the "Uncle rock band". Xiao Yang said he wanted to express the common thoughts, life and grievances of the 70 generation after that. For example, the first half of the story joins Li Chunbo's "Xiaofang" and the animated cartoon "Hua Xianzi" theme song. These are all 70 memories.

It was also moved to tears.

The old boy made Xiao Yang the attention, but in order to plan the short film, he did not take the advertisement in half a year, the length also expanded to 45 minutes in the first 10 minutes, and the Shaw also almost spent the savings. "The old boy" was quoted in the music of a lot of famous songs, but basically no copyright. Xiao Yang consulted friends of the Phonetic Association. The answer was that there was no problem to be used for commercial screening, but the tailed koshaw had been in contact with the Japanese copyright agency, the Chinese version of the Japanese original song.

years later, they embarked on a different life path. One became a wedding host and the other was a small boss of a barber shop. Although it is not down and out, it is not satisfactory. The middle age crisis has plagued two people. A film maker was a student who had been classmates many years ago, and the activity aroused the dream that they had left in their hearts, so they formed a "chopstick combination" and a group of 90s to participate in the draft...
filming
tenderness and tenderness to tighten the skin
the 30 year old Xiao Yang was trying to make a good middle school student, so he made the first half of the story absurd, slightly disguised as "the vicissitudes of the face". But Wang Taili has been 40 years old this year, the eye wrinkles are difficult to cover up, two people can not afford to spend computer processing, only to stick to the corner of the corner of the eye with a glue cloth, using the way to cause the skin tense feeling. During his filming, Wang Tai Li encountered his father leaving, so many of Wang Xiaoshuai's joyous scenes were played out by his sadness.
dancing skills to find a stand up show, space step
Wang Tai Li has never learned MJ's space dance steps when she was in middle school, and she could only start training at the age of 40. He invited the teacher to practice for two weeks, and the last play lasted 26 hours. However, in the movie, Wang Xiaoshuai and the red leather dance dance still find a substitute. Many of the wonderful dancing steps of the back were done by professional MJ imitators.
supporting all kinds of
old boy supporting roles are also amateur actors, but most of them are distinct and have their own characteristics. The only professional actor is Yu Beibei, who plays the "school flower". Bao Xiaobai, who was bullied when he was a teenager, played the role of Xiao Yang. Fat daughter-in-law is their landlady who often goes to a dumpling hall. Xiao Yang said the landlady had a strong desire to play and used to be a guest in their short films, and this time she volunteered. Asked how much the pay is, Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "that is, the cost of losing time, the 10 jin dumpling money is almost the same."
the "enchanting man" in the barber shop is a deputy director. The fat man in the barbecue stall is a field producer, and the red coat is also a director, and the rest of the actors are basically the crew. (newspaper reporter Yang Lin)
"old boy"
"maybe one day I am old boy"
"please leave me in that day, if one day I quietly leave, please bury me in this spring" - a song called "spring", a song by two migrant workers. Later, through the popularity of micro-blog, the video of a netizen retransmitted by a little girl was forwarded to more than 15000 times in a few days. The reason for her forwarding is only a few words, "too damn handsome."
this is indeed too handsome, two old men, two smoked hot throat, and two faces with strong persistence. In the rental room, they may be a bottle of liquor just down, so this is considered to be more than Wang Feng's rock and roll version of "spring" was born. It is said that one of them, because of the naked upper body in singing, wants to delete the video, but like this kind of singing with vigorous vitality, how can it not be better to run with the virus as soon as it is put on the Internet. It is no longer exclusive to a singer's work, but it has become the voice of countless netizens.
must be written to the names of the two migrant workers, Liu Gang and Wang Xu. After being red, they took part in starlight avenue, challenging the microphone and other TV programs, compared to the more original ecological singing in the rental house, and their air was no longer so strong, but it did not prevent them from continuing to cause extensive and strong resonance. After several college students meticulously filmed their production of MV, the new round of spread is beginning again.
at the same time, a movie video named "old boy" is also widely transmitted through the Internet. "The old boy" is the founder of Shaw central and Wang Taishi. In 2007, they took a "memoir of the male geisha". This time, the old boy was filmed, and the film was promoted. Wang Bing, the musician, said, "let me do it." At noon, listen to the songs that cry again. "
"where are you accompanying me now? What do I look like when I have loved someone? Did the original wish come true? Do we have to sacrifice now? Life is like a ruthless carving knife. It changes our appearance. Has it never been bloomed before it wither? I have a dream... " Like the spring, the lyrics of the old boy's tail song are helpless, sentimental, and hidden to a deep sense of power. The story of
old boy is about a pair of middle-aged brothers' memories of campus life and their feelings about the state of existence. Those old boys, who had eaten tears on their faces and wept silently, had been abused by their wives and looked expressionless in their taxis. These pictures depict the vicissitudes and desolation of men in the bottom society, which is more difficult to realize the dream they once realized. Corresponding to the reality of the living environment, I believe that many men will forget an old man should have the reserve, want to wantonly shed tears.
the heat of "spring" and "old boy" continues to heat up, the essence of which is not the quality of the work, but the two works that focus on the people who have been neglected and neglected. The bottom of the people has not formed such a reaction for a long time through the sound of literature and art. It is assumed that there are dozens or hundreds of such works every year, and the domestic literary and artistic land is not so barren, and we do not have to endure the undesirable, empty and tasteless works.
the literary and entertainment circles, which have been held by the college, have withstood the impact of the grass roots show programs such as Super Girls, but the creation of shadow, sight and song still belongs to the few elite with the right of entertainment. The popularity of "spring" and "old boy" has witnessed the vigorous force of the creation of the people. If it is not suppressed and widely erupted, its future will be totally beyond our imagination.
it's winter now, but the poet said, "If winter comes, can spring be far behind?" I saw the old boy in the spring, wiping away memories and sentimentality and running all the way to the road leading to freedom and happiness.
