Adapted by his junior high school experience

Dedicated to yourself who is about to graduate

The seventeen -minute micro -film plot is not complicated.

Until one day, Wang Jie suddenly withdrew from the rivers and lakes and became a hairdresser. Looking at the older brother Wang Jie, who shouted the customer "brother", Shao Ziqiang was very incomprehensible. At the end of the film, Shao Ziqiang proposed to make money with Wang Jie. Wang Jie rejected him and explained, "I have to work well, you have to study hard."

The author of the film is Wei Haixiao. He just graduated from the director of the Communication University of China this year. This micro -film is his graduation work. "This movie was adapted from my real experience in junior high school." Wei Haixiao introduced that he was often bullied when he was in junior high school. Later, he met a big brother. After being bullied, he took the lead in himself and took good care of himself. The two became the best friends. Later, the elder brother suddenly disappeared. Some people said that he was going abroad, and some people said that he was fighting as a brain shock. "It's already a year after my junior year after seeing it again. I met him in a milk tea shop. I asked him if he was in 26. He nodded. I said something about the past. Is there any impression that he shook his head and left, and it was quite emotional at the time. "

This video has more than one million playback volume on the Internet, which has resonated with countless netizens. Some netizens left a message, "Seeing this movie, I think of Mayday's" Summer Light Years ", at least in the youth, we in youth. They have been crazy, and there have been such one or two small hair with you to grow up. "" The film depicts two young people with deep feelings since childhood. There are young crazy and helplessness of life. Some people's tenderness. "Some netizens gave their suggestions on professional issues such as tone, editing, mirrors, and cloth light.

Wei Haixiao told reporters that the name of the micro -film "I'm not a teenager" has two meanings. The first layer means that the elder brother in the film is no longer a teenager. He really wants to work hard into the society for his own livelihood. The second layer is what you want to say to himself, and you will graduate soon, and you are no longer a teenager. "I want to express it as a growth, and now I look back at it. The so -called rivers and lakes, the older brother and the younger brother in the past were just the past clouds. When we were young, each of us thought we were the protagonists surrounded by stars. It is found that everyone is unlikely to be the protagonist, we are ordinary people. "

The alma mater completed the school part of the school

Completion is inseparable from the help of the principal as scheduled

"When I set up a project, I also considers what kind of subject matter will be loved by everyone. Later, I decided to go to the theme of youth, shoot my own student, and hope to resonate with everyone.

The pressure of life is actually a momentary thing. Essence "I'm Not a Youth" took about four months from the project to complete, mainly filmed in the Xuzhou hometown of Wei Hai's smile. There were more than thirty people in the crew, and a total of more than sixty people.

"The most difficult thing is the venue problem, because we are a student, there are not many resources, there are not many budgets, and the epidemic is repeated, and it is particularly difficult to communicate with the community." Wei Haixiao introduced Those who are responsible for outreach, they have a budget and resources, they are relatively simple, and they can only play hard on their heads. "Frequent patting, people in the community come to drive us away, which has affected the progress of the film, and the long -term consumption of the time is also large."

He could particularly understand our industry. Meeting, and coordinating teachers and students to act as group performances. "Wei Hai said with a smile that his graduation design can be completed as scheduled, and it is inseparable from the help of his alma mater.
