Perfection of Rebirth

Chapter 325 So Hot That I Have No Friends

In Jiang Hui's view, whether it is movies or microfilms, they are all kinds of art, which must come from life.Only something very "grounded" can attract everyone's attention and be widely respected.And "Old Boy" is a more life-like art work. Of course, some plots or pictures are exaggerated, but in terms of the overall style, it is more realistic. This is what Jiang Hui paid great attention to when writing the script, and it is also the most capable. A place to interact psychologically with the audience—almost every audience can more or less find their own shadow from the protagonist, see their own memories from the camera, or discover the life or experience they are having.

Just like a sentence that appears at the beginning and end of the film: Dreams are like classics, they will never fade because of time, on the contrary, they will become more precious.

In Jiang Hui's plan, this sentence is not only an echo of the film, but also an expression of the theme of the film, namely youth and dreams.In the movie, Xiao Dabao played "Xiaofang" for her in order to pursue the beauty of the school, and Wang Xiaoshuai danced "I Can't Stop Loving You" for her.While Wang Xiaoshuai was dancing for the school belle, the fat girl Hao Fang had been paying attention to Wang Xiaoshuai for a long time.After many years, Wang Xiaoshuai married Hao Fang, and Xiaohua married Bao Xiaobai, a wealthy manager.

All of this reality is very cruel.Although Xiao Dabao in the film loves to play the guitar, after many years he is just a taxi driver and a wedding officiant.When hosting, he often made up things, so he was often beaten and scolded, but he had to force himself to smile.Wang Xiaoshuai, who is very passionate about dancing, opened a barber shop many years later, and was often beaten and scolded for cutting bad hair for customers.Although life is cruel, they always have the pursuit of dreams in their hearts. The dreams and idols of their youth are still in their hearts.
