Recently, writer and screenwriter Rao Xueman's popularity has been a bit high.
In a certain speech, she talked about the popular "little ear" Chen Duling, and related topics landed first in the hot search.
The eight-year-old drama version of "Left Ear" was launched, and there was another wave of fierce publicity.
The film version of "Li Bara" Ma Sichun and "Zhang Yang" Ou Hao both ** Rao Xueman's Weibo to show their support for the drama version, and the fans who had eaten this pair of CPs expressed their emotions (what a match they once were).
As a representative writer of "Youth Pain Literature";
Rao Xueman and her ups and downs have influenced countless young men and women, leaving deep traces in their youth.
However, by now, about "Is Rao Xueman outdated?But the controversy has long overshadowed the memory filter.
In April 2015, the youth film "Left Ear" directed by Su Youpeng and written by Rao Xueman was officially released.
The film achieved a bumper harvest at both the box office and word of mouth.
In terms of commercial performance, the box office exceeded 200 million in the first weekend and 400 million in ten days.
The final cumulative box office reached 48.5 billion, which is a very bright achievement in youth films.
In terms of professional awards, director Su Youpeng and actor Ma Sichun were shortlisted for the Golden Horse Award for Best New Director and Best Supporting Actress respectively.
Although the score on Douban is only 57, but it still does not affect it being regarded by many people as a model of domestic youth films.
In the film, the soul character with the most important role is the heroine Li Er.
The crew boldly used Chen Duling, an outsider who was completely a blank sheet of paper.
At that time, Chen Turin was still a student at Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, and he unexpectedly became an Internet celebrity with a pure and beautiful ID photo.
Rao Xueman became interested in her, and after confirming that the other party was not "cheating", she actively recommended her to the crew.
As Rao Xueman said in his speech, Chen Duling, as a newcomer from a non-professional class, really doesn't know anything about acting.
Although she worked hard, the final result was still not qualified.
Su Youpeng and Rao Xueman both have a feeling of "guilt" towards Chen Duling, they broke her originally calm and simple life, brought her to such a complex entertainment industry, and let her grow savagely, constantly experiencing and maturing.
In the past eight years, Rao Xueman did not dare to contact Chen Turin too much, and the communication between the two was limited to superficial greetings, and she guessed whether Chen Turin was doing well or not, and only made a rough judgment from the value of the gifts she gave.
Now, seeing her come out of the circle with a supporting role in a TV series, her charm is seen and affirmed by more and more people, and she is sincerely relieved and happy.
Chen Turin can indeed be regarded as a representative of "turning the tables against the wind".
made a shining debut with the title of "Left Ear" heroine", but failed to convert this luck into popularity, and is still a small transparent existence in the entertainment industry.
The heroine dramas are one after another, but the complaints about her acting skills are also higher and higher (her own ability is not up to standard, and she is not to blame the audience).
In the past two years, he has continued to improve his business capabilities, and he has found his own way of playing, so his career seems to have opened up and reached an unprecedented new height.
Other actors who watched the movie "Left Ear" also occupied a place in the entertainment industry, and their careers are becoming more and more prosperous.
Ma Sichun, Yang Yang
Ou Hao, Guan Xiaotong
I have to say that Director Su's vision for selecting actors back then was very vicious, not only the actor's temperament has a super high fit with the role, but also has infinite starlight.
After the success of the movie "Left Ear", Rao Xueman began to continuously develop his own IP, but the results were not satisfactory, the web series "Seventeen Years Old That Will Hurt", "The Golden Castle of the Little Demon", "Secret Fruit", the movie "Secret Fruit", "About Winter" and so on hit the street continuously.
Among them, the cast of "About Winter" can be called luxurious, the male protagonist Huo Jianhua, the female protagonist Ma Sichun, and Qi Qin's classic old song "About Winter" as BGM, but after its release, both the box office and the evaluation were lackluster, and it could not be compared with "Left Ear" at all.
Chen Feiyu and Ouyang Nana, the stars of the movie "Secret Fruit", are also high-value youth idols, standing there is as beautiful as a pictorial, but even so, they can't attract young people**.
ps: Rao Xueman thinks that Chen Feiyu became popular through "Secret Fruit".
But the fact is that Chen Feiyu basically relied on the aura of the "second generation of stars" to win a steady stream of resources, and then went out of the circle with the current puppet drama "Ignite Me, Warm You".
Even though he was defeated repeatedly, Rao Xueman still did not give up.
There are three works that have been completed but have not yet been released, namely the online drama "Leaving Song", the movie "Hourglass" and "Love That Never Loses Contact", all three of which are sluggish in popularity, which is a bit of a "enclosure and self-congratulation".
Among them, "Love That Never Loses Contact" also invited Internet celebrity Ding Zhen to make a cameo appearance, but it still did not bring any popularity to the movie.
Compared to the story and the actors themselves, the topics outside the movie are more lively.
In August this year, the movie "Hourglass" was filmed in a city in Fujian, and Rao Xueman posted an article, complaining that the onlookers of passers-by seriously affected the filming of the movie.
Cruel words: "If you do this again, I'm welcome, just hang up." ”
It even threatened to drive away passers-by.
The local residents were also very angry about this, saying that the filming seriously affected their normal life, and the attitude of the crew was arrogant and excessive.
As soon as the topic came out, most of the netizens accused Rao Xueman, bluntly saying, "I really don't know what 2.08 million is noble."
Even if she hurriedly posted an apology, she couldn't stop the surging complaints from netizens.
Under the manipulation of the commotion, Rao Xueman's popularity declined, and with her "youth pain literature", she was constantly dissed "This wind has long been outdated".
Once, youth pain literature was quite hot.
started with "To Our Dying Youth", which won a box office of 100 million yuan in 2013;
The follow-up "Little Times" series, "You at the Same Table", "The Year in a Hurry" and "Left Ear" have also caught the craze of "remembering youth".
The investors made a lot of money, and the leading actors also soared, from the second and third tiers to the popular Xiaosheng Xiaohua.
But ten years later, the audience's tastes and values have changed dramatically.
Sentimental campus men and women, faint thoughts moaning without illness, car accident abortion amnesia three-piece ......
The routine characters and plots can no longer resonate with us, and will only make people feel exaggerated and pretentious.
After all, in most people's memory;
Compared with love, the student years are more occupied by academics, family affection and friendship.
Rather than "whether they love me or not", it may be that "the rise and fall of grades", "relationship with parents", "alienation and closeness with friends", and "self-body and appearance management" are the things that adolescent men and women are more concerned about.
"Youth School", which is based on the college entrance examination, may be closer to high school life in reality.
Recently, the drama version of "Left Ear" filmed in 2015 was airborne, and it did not cause a splash, in addition to the dim star of the starring lineup, the stale and dull story is the biggest reason.
Rao Xueman's youth is already far away from us.
The last sentence:Some youth books are just left in memories, and there is really no need for film and television.
