Chinese female writers, Yishu and Annie Baby have huge readers and fans, but they are the two people with the least film and television adaptations of the works. They are imaged far less than Zhang Ailing . Maybe it's because it's difficult to shoot. Yishu is better, but this is the first time Annie’s work has been made into a movie.
After watching " July and Ansheng ", it was the afternoon of Mid-Autumn Festival, and the sky was filled with cool rain. I was pulled out of the couple in groups of three or three, and I was alone, like July walking in the snow, like Ansheng leaving on the train, like Jiaming in the movie, which is so warm and vague that there is no blood and only one shadow.
02
I questioned a long time ago. Questioning the casting of the film.
The women in Annie's writings should not be more suitable for the roles of the actresses who are turbulent and dark, which are the early Zhou Xun , the Hao Lei , or the subsequent Tan Zhuo and Qixi .
I question Zhou Dongyu and Ma Sichun are too tender, not literary, not experienced enough, and do not know the taste of sorrow.
Fortunately, they didn't disappoint.
03
The first Annie baby I bought is a pirated book.
When you were a student, you know, there was no money. I saw a thick book "Anne Baby Works Collection" in a shopping stall bookstore. I bought it for 20 yuan. At that time, she had not started writing " Lotus ", which was a collection of all her words before. It was winter, it seemed. I bought
and started watching it during the winter vacation and found a large number of typos. The paper quality is also poor. He was deeply harmed by pirated books. Use a pencil to modify other words while reading - it has become a thick exercise book for modifying wrong sentences.
Later, I went to university and the school library borrowed the first genuine books " two and three things ", " red shore flower ", and " rose island ". They were damaged and mottled, covered with sweat stains, body odor and color spots of countless seniors.
Later, the literary young woman R borrowed two books from another literary young woman, " Little Reunion " and " Su Nian Jinshi ". He asked me which book to read, and I chose the latter.
I am not shy away from it at all, I am one of Anne's readers.
04
I also know two such girls.
I know July , I was in the same class for three years in high school, and in college, she took a car to my school several times. She just wants to live a stable life, return to a small city, take care of her husband and children, and live in the food, rice, oil and salt. I can't give it to her. A long time after we lost contact, she called me one night and told me: She was going to get married. I know that was a farewell ceremony. She said she had been waiting for me for many years and finally married someone else.
She is a good girl, she is finally going to get married. After a long time, we added QQ and chatted several times like two old classmates who seemed to be innocent. She already has two children. She lived the life she wanted. I am also experiencing the most burdensome loss in my life. Then, I don’t know how long it took, but I broke up my friend. She once said that she hopes that when she is old, she can sit on a rattan chair under the setting sun and talk about the past. Such a picture is so beautiful, but it has nothing to do with me.
She may be July, but not mine.
Ansheng , I only had one year in the third year of junior high school. She was in the same class. She was enthusiastic, active, ostentatious and vivid, and she laughed and joking with the boys. For a while, we got very close. Maybe I was actually very sad when I saw her alone, but at the same time I found that she was actually listening to various sad songs. We were cold wars, uncomfortable, frustrated, and reconciled. At that time, I was not sure that such friendship was love. Later, I went to different high schools and didn’t have a mobile phone. I wrote several thick long letters. She is still very close to the boys, and I will feel jealous.On her 20th birthday, she invited me to attend. I thought I would confess my love, but left with frustration.
When she was in college, she came to my city and we went to watch the re-screening version of " East Evil West Poison Ultimate Edition ", like a farewell movie. Later, many years passed, and Weibo reunion, she no longer had the turmoil she was as a teenager. She also got married and had children, like every girl, and eventually returned to her family and children.
She may be Ansheng, but not mine.
What is so similar to the plot of the drama is that my July and Ansheng, and later because of me, they met each other and knew each other, but maybe they had never met each other and would no longer contact each other.
As I gradually alienated from them, I began to get very close to boys. I began to understand the direction of my body, desires and emotions, and I also began to understand what I wanted. I went on another road.
I didn't become their family after all.
I am not Jiaming.

He lowered his eyebrows and she looked up.
You see, our lives are actually far more mediocre than movies.
06
"July and Ansheng" This story has three reversals .
I read the original text before. I thought July was like summer weather, with the scorching sun, passionate and unrestrained, but in fact I was warm and obedient; I thought peace was like a name, the years were quiet, the world was stable, but in fact my nature was wild, and I was not at all safe.
The second reversal was to see the actress. Zhou Dongyu, who has always been timid and weak, has played the wandering and moving Ansheng, and has a charming atmosphere of wild weeds; Ma Sichun, who has played the carefree and lively "Li Bara", has become the restrained, forbearable, restrained and implicit July.
Perhaps, this is the deliberate intention of director Zeng Guoxiang . Only by leaving the impression can you better enter the story.
07
The most unexpected last reversal is the ending .
The ending of Annie's novel is that An Sheng and Death, leaving the child behind. July and Jiaming took this child with him and lived together from then on. The ending of the movie
, the child is in July, An Sheng lives with the child, and none of them are with Jiaming.
and, exchange life, replace version.
July has become a peaceful life that is lightly built and wanders around the world, and it has become a July when the dust settles and returns to its starting point.
In An Sheng's version of Jiaming's kindness, he left without saying goodbye in July and there was no news. She went to "travel in a foreign country, eat and drink with confidence", and she lived a life of wandering, traveling around the world, and being free.
In the novel version written by Anshengfu under the pseudonym July, July is heading towards the end of the world and the lighthouse at the end.
The version in Ansheng's heart, July is always at the age of twenty-seven, and the last delivery room, leaving the child behind, she goes to heaven. There are many more
, version .
Nicole Kidman said in "Rabbit Hole": "Some places you exist, but I am floating." This is the "parallel universe", a tragic and comedy version. In other versions, "I'm doing well in that place."
This is their version and ours.
In different parallel spaces, these versions travel through each other, never alternate, and never meet.
08
I don’t know if it is Chen Kexin ’s auxiliary function. Such a very dangerous story that can be filmed is actually good. Image telling, scene scheduling, rhythm control, and lighting use all make people feel comfortable.
Even if I become harsh and naughty, I want to say that the ramen explosion in some scenes in Zhou Dongyu looks very similar to the landlord’s aunt, or I am worried that the Ma Sichun with a high nose bridge will hit the nose when kissing with a high nose bridge.
In fact, there is another obstacle during the movie watching process. It is to occasionally stop and force yourself to remember who is July and who is Ansheng:
Oh, the one who runs while crying while running while driving is July, the one who sticks out his face and holds up his tongue and can't hold out his tears in the bar; the one who wants to stop and land is July, the one who doesn't know what his life will be like, so it's Ansheng; but in the end, the one who turns into a new migratory bird in the imaginary version, and the one who can't stop is July, the one who cuts his hair and returns to campus and classroom to study is Ansheng, and they live the life that they want the most.
Yes, at some point, there will be such confusion, and panic.
Perhaps, consider it as the director's deliberate behavior, July and Ansheng are originally twin flowers .
I wrote a long time ago that orchids have a kind of sister called Hui. They are originally twins, but one has been moistened by the sun, rain and dew for many years. Even if he lives in the deep mountains and valleys for a long time, it is still bright and clean, attracting countless attractions. The other is planted in the corner of the wall and shines on the back of the moon, gloomy, lonely, and cold, and is accompanied by darkness.
When the growth environment is exchanged, their indications will also change gradually.
is like July and Ansheng.
09
Beautiful and seductive, let’s talk about the male protagonist Jiaming .
If you write an article, compare the male personality of Jiaming that appears in both Yishu and Annie , it may be interesting.
The person who plays Jia Ming in the movie is Li Chengbin .
is a new man, but I have watched his other two dramas before.
early summer, watching the stand drama " A Handful of Green ". He is a man who married Xiao Moting, the girl in the play, and grew old together. He has a firm and beautiful nose and side face. He wears an orange or light green flying officer uniform, which is heroic.
(According to the fact that I have written "A Handful of Green" before, it would be boring if I have no regrets in life. Although the Taiwan Golden Bell Drama Award declines, it is still predicted that the drama will be a popular winner)
At the end of the summer, in the northern city where the train trip is more than ten hours, I watched the movie " Liu Lan Cafe " and saw him again, playing the third or fourth male lead, with few roles, and I can see basketball playing well in the film, but I am still very handsome.
Some people say that he looks like Xiao Peng Yuyan , but in fact he has been signed by an agency founded by Zheng Yuanchang .
Maybe we will fall in love with people who are similar to our lovers, such as July and Ansheng.

Many years later, I have actually confused the two stories of " July and Ansheng " and " August Weiyang ". Both of them are falling in love with the same man, one is dead and the other is alive. Such confusion is like that youth. Those who borrow and read books, those who have liked or never liked, will blur their faces one by one.
Zhang Ailing has written an unfamous novel called " Classmates and Young People Are Not Guilty ", which is also the story of the friendship between two girls. The title of the book is from " Eight Poems on Autumn Anniversary" by Du Fu . "Sloppy" refers to low and thinness. "None is cheap" means that no one is worse than anyone else.
Later, I also like to use it as the word "see". The artistic conception seems to be a layer of distortion, but it also seems simple and straightforward.
The classmates and boys are not seen.
Whether it is July and Ansheng , or Weiyang in "August Weiyang", whether it is Zhu Suosuo and Jiang Nansun in "Jin Xiyue", or Green Snake and White Snake , or you and me.
is really, one day it will "none see you".
11
Watch "July and Ansheng", Chen Zhilei said he thought of " Green Snake ", Xuan Zhizhi Yao said he thought of " Golden Years " and " Rose Story ", and some people thought of " Flowers and Alice ", I thought of " Princess Revenge " and " Veronica's Double Life ".
No one seems to notice that the English name of the movie is "soulmate", soul mate. The high school English teacher tells us that in a person’s life, the best love is to meet a soul mate.
July and Jiaming are not soulmate; An Sheng and Jiaming are not soulmate. Perhaps, July and Ansheng are the ones soulmate. So they finally became each other, they became each other's souls, the white bird in the soul, the moon above the white bird's head.
12
They were only thirteen years old when they met An Sheng in July.
When one dies and leaves the other, it is already 14 years later.
They are all twenty-seven years old.
What separates them is life and death, and time.
The long stalemate and alienation on the way, and later looking back, it turned into a flash of things.
is like those, we thought that the long ones would eventually whizz by.
