If you could travel back to 20 years ago, what would you want to do most? If you knew what your life would be like 20 years from now, would you still go there with enthusiasm?
The recently popular summer movie "Safe Escape from the 21st Century" uses this fantasy setting of traveling back and forth in 20 years.Zhang RuoyunWang Zha, played by Wang Zha, is pure and sincere. He can travel to 20 years later by "sneezing" and use his 18-year-old mind to peek into the adult world. In the film, Wang Zha and his friends take on the responsibility of life and death for mankind.
Zhang Ruoyun said,This imaginative and wildly romantic film is a "love letter" from the 36-year-old to his 18-year-old self.. How does he polish the details of his performance? What stories are there on and off the screen? Let's take a look ↓
Did you feel like you had eaten cyber mushrooms after watching the movie?
The film combines the crazy and evil aesthetic style of two-dimensional animation and the interesting jokes with a far-ahead mental state, which made many viewers exclaim: "It's like eating a cyber mushroom" and "It's crazy and I like it"...
Zhang Ruoyun said that this kind of "madness" is largelyWild imaginationIt is like the bizarre dreams of many people born in the 80s and 90s. If you think about it carefully, you can find reflections in each picture and story in it, and they are all integrated with people's emotional background."We are doing this very seriously, not just for the sake of being crazy."
For Zhang Ruoyun, this movie gave him a lot of room to "let go". He recalled that after reading the script, he was able to "align brain waves" with the director and conceive the final presentation effect, so he refused to read the storyboard script and relied on his imagination of the role to complete the performance in his own "room and space".
But Zhang Ruoyun never skimps on details. The last line of the film is:Light up the night", Zhang Ruoyun recorded these five words over 20 times. He has been looking for a feeling: "Just like the 'many years later' written by Marquez at the beginning of One Hundred Years of Solitude, it contains the depression and fatigue of being eroded by time for a long time, and also a kind of tenacity of not admitting defeat. "
If you have the opportunity
Would you choose to travel back to when you were 18?
In the movie, Wang Zha travels between 1999 and 2019 with an 18-year-old soul. To interpret this 18-year-old innocent boy with a 38-year-old body, Zhang Ruoyun believes that any roundabout acting skills are contrary to this role. The only thing he needs to do is "MutuallyLetter Role”。
To play a role well, one must explore the character's soul. Zhang Ruoyun said that every time he receives a new script, he will "take out a part of his own experience for the role." In his understanding,Wang Zha is everyone’s 18 years old, the beautified self in memory。
"When we look back, we think that being 18 was wonderful, and we often remember the innocence, justice, bravery, and passion of youth. When we grow up and face the pressure of reality, these shining qualities of our youth will help us cope with difficulties."
Of course, Zhang Ruoyun also admitted that he was not perfect at the age of 18, and he was also anxious, cowardly, and confused. During his growth, he also blamed his younger self for "holding back".
Zhang Ruoyun said that he had indeed fantasized about traveling back in time to change his imperfect self like in the movies, but now he no longer has this greedy idea - the cognition of an 18-year-old is destined to be "not perfect".If you really change the past, even if you make up for the negligence at that time, you may lose the good things you may have in the future.。
Zhang Ruoyun said that he felt that he was gradually getting closer to his 18-year-old self. "When you become a good adult and you can speak for him, you will find out how precious he is."
I walked out of the theater laughing and then started crying
What's going on?
Wang Zha's brain capacity is obviously smaller than that of an ordinary person, and the "height difference propeller" he longs for... The film is filled with a lot of jokes and laughs.
But Zhang Ruoyun does not think that "Safe Evacuation from the 21st Century" is a pure comedy movie. After careful appreciation, some viewers read the pain of growing up from it, and some viewers feel lost because they did not become their ideal selves...
Zhang Ruoyun said:We packaged some sad emotions into a jokeIf you understand the sadness in it, then we are bosom friends, but it is also sad because there is one more sad person in the world; if you don’t understand it, then just laugh and walk out of the cinema happily, making everyone happy is also the meaning of this movie. ”
For Zhang Ruoyun, this movie is a "love letter" to his 18-year-old self. He used to envy those imaginative creators and had no resistance to the theme of "saving the world". This script made his dream come true when he was young. He wants to give this work to all those who were or are young like him, telling everyone:There are many interesting adults in this world. We should be full of hope for the future.
