The movie “Our New Life” focuses on the little people and draws on the real lives of the common people. The five post-80s directors use five unit stories to tell the ordinary lives of ordinary people. The five units are: “The Enemy and Enmity of the Square” directed by the Olympic Games. “Record”, “Calm Down” directed by Bao Bell, “Concert on Clouds” directed by Yao Tingting, “The Most Burning Red Sunset” directed by Lu Zhengyu, “All the Way” directed by Zhang Luan.
In the unit story “Concert on the Clouds” directed by Yao Tingting, four rural children collide with the adult world in order to realize their dreams. Yao Tingting cherishes their stubborn innocence, “Everyone can pursue their dreams, especially now on the Internet. The information is very advanced, and you can let others see yourself in many ways. The children in the mountainous areas I have met before, in fact, each of them has a dream in their hearts, so I especially hope that through this creation, such a theme can be presented Come out, don’t forget the dream in your heart, it will come true one day.”
Lu Zhengyu tries to explore the emotional dilemma of middle-aged and elderly people in “The Most Burning Red Sunset”, “I especially like the red sunset, which gives me the feeling that it is full of power. The social label for mothers may be hard work and calloused hands. Yes. But everyone has the right to pursue their own preferences and live their true self! I hope everyone can pay attention to them. In addition to their mothers, they also have their own names, dreams, and new things that belong to them. Life. Two generations communicate more and talk more, and there are things that machines cannot replace.”
Zhang Luan’s “All the Way Forward” focuses on the love and redemption of young people: “There are many directions in a new life. Our film presents five different perspectives. I want to tell everyone through this story that we must bravely start from Go out of the haze and move towards a new life in the future.”
Several directors have tried to use the most intuitive images and stories to shape the character of a serious life, use ordinary people’s stories to move people’s hearts, and convey the truest happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy in the chai, rice, oil and salt. As Director Lu Zhengyu said: “It is thousands of little people who support our new life together.”
“High-quality goods” is the road of development of online movies, and “Our New Life” has made a new attempt on this road. Yao Tingting said, “Everyone may have prejudice against online movies and talk about’net feel’. We can’t use such labels to limit our creative ideas and limit our creative imagination. I think the director should tell a good story. This is the basis for fully expressing what you want to express and the characters you want to create.” Lu Zhengyu added: “I don’t think there is a difference between online movies and cinema movies. Some are just technical differences, but we are all in Committed to telling good stories that are closely related to the audience.”
