In 2020, the 16-episode youth drama “The Sky of the Wind Dog”, directed by Zhang Yibai and Han Yan and screened by Li Zelin, was broadcast and won the love of young audiences. In the movie “The Sky of Burning Wild Youth”, the three behind-the-scenes creators once again joined forces, from small screen to big screen, with a new form of singing and dancing as the carrier, continuing the style of youth and joy, and trying to create a true youth song and dance film in China.
In the movie, the “Old Dog”, a teenager who came to Hainan for repetition alone, met a group of “salted fish teenagers” with similar smells, and met a group of uneven “weed girls”, but these young people ignored the eyes of others and insisted. Participate in the dancing miracle contest together. Regardless of the outcome of the game, as long as you can meet a group of friends and do something together even if others find it silly, it is also a happy and unforgettable thing in youth. For the main creators, they also met good friends in the process, and together they did a “stupid” thing that required courage like “shooting a local song and dance film”. The filming of the whole film has gone through the hot summers and rainy winters in Haikou. Several youthful young actors gathered together. From behind the scenes of the rehearsal to the front of the filming, they spent several months together, and let this group of teenagers play together. Forged a deep friendship outside.

After the TV series, Peng Yuchang, who appeared in the movie “Old Dog” again, said: “This movie is worth 120 or even 150 points of hard work, so that we can leave ourselves without regrets. I am honored to film such a movie with everyone. A youth musical.”

Newcomer actor Xu Enyi counted down the precious memories of getting along with each partner, “They worked hard to integrate me into this group. Siwai Ge and You Hao would dance with me, Sun Rui and Xiao Liao would always accompany me, and Xiao Hu would give me away. Boasting a beautiful necklace, Peng Peng will cheer me up when I am tired.”
Compared with Xu Enyi, who made her film debut at the age of 17, the experience of other actors is even more difficult. Sun Rui has been in the women’s group for 8 years and has gone from being “little transparent” to the number one position; Siwaige has also worked hard to become a singer and actor from a dance teacher; Liao Yueying thanked the movie for allowing her to move from an online platform to a big screen. At the scene, she inspired many boys and girls like her with a passionate and powerful speech. She said: “I used to be a fat girl with a very low self-esteem. Now I want to tell everyone that I am fat and I am strong! I am fat and sunshine! I am fat and my treasure! I can bring happiness to more people. I am very lucky and very happy!”; “Ali” Hu Yuxuan shouted to his mother “I finally starred!”
For the domestic film market, youth films are not uncommon, but youth musical films are really rare. “The Sky of Burning Wild Youth” has made a bold attempt.
In order to bring better performances, Peng Yuchang, Zhang Youhao and others entered the group several months in advance for “devil” training. Although the post-00s rookie heroine Xu Enyi has learned dance since childhood, she has no performance experience and faced the movie scene for the first time. It is also stressful. Three years of preparations for filming, countless overturned music arrangements, and the scenes of young girls dancing under the scorching sun and heavy rain, all means that the creative team is the ultimate in every scene and even every frame. pursue.
As a rare domestic youth song and dance film, “The Sky of Burning Wild Youth” truly integrates the story with song and dance, rather than “dancing for dance.” From the solo dance of the heroine Xiao Huang on the rooftop, to the double weed dance of the old dog and Xiao Huang, and the dance in the rain, the classroom group dance, to the ultimate dance on the sea platform, the singing and dancing scenes in the film are extremely rich—— One person, two people, dozens of people to hundreds of people, let the song and dance give full play to the unique wanton and energy of youth.

At the premiere, there was also a special group of “Burning Wild Boys” who appeared on stage with the protagonists. They are dancers who have trained and filmed with the protagonists for several months. When it comes to the hard work of dance training, they have a great say: “Sometimes they will train overnight. Some have a leg injury, some fainted from heatstroke, and they are worried that they will be expelled if they don’t dance well enough. But whether it’s the main creator or someone else, everyone Very kind and attentive, working together to do one thing, really like a class group.” Before joining the group, Peng Yuchang, who has zero dance foundation, shared, “Everyone will take me to dance and accompany me to add lessons and practice. Thank you all, it’s an honor to shoot with you all”. Speaking of everyone’s most impressive and favorite dance clips, many actors unanimously chose to dance together in the rain at the entrance of the unisex school. “Because it happened to be the coldest winter in the history of Shanghaikou during the filming, everyone wore shorts and shorts for four days in the heavy rain,” explained director Han Yan. But the reason Peng Yuchang likes most is that it has nothing to do with the script or the shooting, but because everyone spontaneously screams and sings in the heavy rain.
When asked why they chose to shoot a musical in the first place, the creators recalled, “Singing and dancing is actually an ideal in the minds of many creators. In a limited career, I can meet a group of like-minded partners to do this together. Why not do a’stupid’ thing? I also hope that there will be more musicals in China in the future, and “The Sky of Burning Wild Youth” can also become the one that everyone can remember.”
It is reported that the movie “The Sky of Burning Wild Boy” was released nationwide on July 17.
