Domestic youth romance films once entered the tales of playing truant, car accidents, pregnancy, and love triangles, which made people more and more disgusting.

The "Midsummer Future", which is currently being screened, avoids these "dog blood" plots, telling the emotional impact of a young couple and a native family on a child. It may not be sensational enough, but true enough. Frankly, it has won a lot of praise from the audience.

　　"Midsummer Future" was released for 12 days and received a box office of 238 million yuan. Its online score was as high as 7.4 points. Some viewers even thought, "This is the best youth romance film in recent years."

　　Director Chen Zhengdao is well-known for shooting suspenseful crime films. His "Master of Hypnotism" and "Secret Visitor" are all good at creating suspenseful atmosphere. There are also two main suspense factors in this "Midsummer Future": one is Chen Chen played by Zhang Zifeng Is there any love between Zheng Yuxing, played by Wu Lei?

The other is "MING" that Zheng Yuxing is crazy in love with. What kind of person is it?

The answer was not revealed until the end of the film.

From this perspective, "Midsummer Future" is also a suspenseful youth romance film.

　　Aside from the suspense factors, "Midsummer Future" is actually a plain youth love story, but behind the plain plot, it reflects a theme that is critical to the growth of teenagers, that is, how to learn to "face" and face True love, facing the imperfect native family, facing the desperation of love, facing the unavoidable loss and frustration in life.

　　In fact, "Midsummer Future" tells a secret love story.

Chen Chen unilaterally fell in love with Zheng Yuxing, and Zheng Yuxing was crazy about "MING". Many viewers hope to see Chen Chen and Zheng Yuxing, the CPs, come together and achieve mutual love, but the film disappointed everyone. .

　　Some people say that the hardest thing in the world is to make people you like love yourself.

This may also be a design of nature. If everyone can find someone he likes, then all literary and artistic works will not be necessary.

This is a simple truth, but for young people, accepting this reality is a painful process in their hearts. This is what the film "Midsummer Future" wants to express.

　　In the past youth romance films, the influence of the native family came more from the parents’ pressure on the children’s college entrance examination. The parents of Chen Chen and Zheng Yuxing in "The Future of Summer" also had this point, but in addition, the emotional life of Chen Chen’s parents was The description of her influence is even more profound, especially since the two kept hiding their children after their divorce, fearing that it would affect her college entrance examination. At the same time, the two secretly dated their lovers and wanted to cover it up.

This seemingly good behavior for the children actually broke Chen Chen's heart, and even made her deliberately fail to enter the university. This is rare in the past domestic films.

　　Zhang Zifeng, who plays Chen Chen, is a leader among the "post-00" actors. Her performances in films such as "Detective Chinatown" and "My Sister" have proven her ability to manage complex roles.

"Midsummer Future" may be the performance closest to her real life state, because she is similar to the age of the character, she does not need to deliberately perform it, only when Zheng Yuxing clearly tells her at the end of the film that she does not like her, her performance Only when she was able to show her skills, her face showed multiple levels of complex emotions.

　　Although it is a long-term view, the sharp-eyed audience can also see clearly that the "MING" that appeared on the stage at the end of the film is actually a male, which also means that Zheng Yuxing likes a male.

This plot has passed by, but it also reflects the tolerance and progress of this era.

　　The feeling of watching "Midsummer Future" is like returning to when I was young, watching my friends around me become a "goddess" or "male god" in his heart, but a discerning person can see at a glance that this person doesn't like him at all / She, no matter how she persuades, it is useless.

　　This is what love should look like when you are young, and it is also the point that this film can impress many viewers.
