Li Guoqing praised "Better Days": I haven't seen such a good domestic film for a long time

The quarrel with Yu Yu has come to an end, but Dangdang founder Li Guoqing is still active on Weibo. Today, he commented on the new domestic film "Better Days" and said that it has been a long time since he saw such a good domestic film.

Li Guoqing said: " When I had dinner with film and television company bosses or directors before, I always questioned why their youth films could not be unforgettable. After watching it tonight, we all felt heartbroken. I was crying in the second half, and I was so cold and shivering when I came out of the theater. "

He said frankly that novels, screenwriters, and directors can tell such a good story, although it is a basic skill, but it is rare in the mainland. It not only contains unforgettable love, but also social injustice, school bullying caused by the original family, and the era of the single-plank bridge of the college entrance examination. Zhou Dongyu, Yi Yangqianxi, and Yin Fang have superb facial acting skills. Thank you Hou Xiaoqiang and Zhonghui for your efforts in the success of the film.

"Better Days" is a movie adapted from Jiu Yuexi's novel, directed by Derek Tsang, and starring Zhou Dongyu, Yi Yang Qianxi, Yin Fang, Huang Jue, Wu Yue, Zhou Ye, Liu Ran, Zhang Yao, Zhang Yifan, Zhao Runnan, and Gao Xuanming.

The film tells the story of two teenagers whose fates were changed by an accident on campus on the eve of the college entrance examination, and how they protected each other and became the adults they wanted to be. The film was shortlisted for the New Generation Unit of the 69th Berlin International Film Festival.

The film was released on October 25, 2019. At present, the box office has exceeded 700 million.

The following is the full text of Li Guoqing’s Weibo post:

It's been a long time since I've seen such a good domestic film (Better Days). In the past, when I had dinner with the bosses or directors of film and television companies, I always questioned why their youth films couldn't be made unforgettable. After watching it tonight, we all felt heartbroken. I kept crying in the second half, so I was shivering all over when I came out of the theater. I remembered watching Romain Rolland's (John Christopher) in high school. The person I fantasized about loving was in danger, and I stepped forward to protect her. To this day, when I ride a bike or walk, I often repeat the picture in my mind: to protect the person I love and deal with criminals or rescue her from under the wheels, I became disabled, and was tortured by the desire to be given every month (actually enjoying the daydream of love). Although it is a basic skill for novels, screenwriters, and directors to tell stories so well, it is rare in the mainland. There is not only unforgettable love, but also social injustice, school bullying caused by the original family, and the era of the single-plank bridge of the college entrance examination. Zhou Dongyu, Yi Yangqianxi, and Yin Fang have superb facial acting skills. Thank you Hou Xiaoqiang and Zhonghui for your efforts in the success of the film.

The only complaint is that there is a line in the movie: protecting others from lightning is the immature love of minors! It is actually the alienation of happiness and true love for adults.
