Original Arui New Weekly
This year’s netizens want to persuade the protagonist of the youth film to study hard. /Youth School
"Pi 2" ushered in a grand finale, which was not satisfactory. Qian Sanyi, the hero of Xueba, chose not to continue his college studies, but the netizen just wanted to wake him up: "You were admitted to Tsinghua!"
It’s coming, it’s coming, and the story of my family is back.
As soon as "Youth School 2" was broadcast, the fans’ voices trembled with excitement. In the first part, the spiritual restoration of the family atmosphere of the college entrance examination, as well as the emotional line between the ghost horse girl Lin Miaomiao and the genius Qian Sanyi, have earned everyone’s expectations for the second part.
Now that the finale is coming, the discussion area of the series is full of grievances. It’s just that the family drama has become a youth love drama. What is more unacceptable to many people is that the hero talks about a love, so why give up his studies?
Last time, I said that Lin Miaomiao stayed in her hometown and went to two universities, while Qian Sanyi went to Tsinghua University. In order to reunite Qian Sanyi with Lin Miaomiao in the second film, the screenwriter took a lot of thought.
At the beginning, Qian Sanyi didn’t change his true colors. During his undergraduate course, he went to Switzerland to study abroad for scientific research, but he suffered from depression because of his tutor’s suicide. After dropping out of school, he returned to his hometown, treated the disease and talked about love with Lin Miaomiao. Unemployed, he just needs to walk around Miaomiao all day. Lin Miaomiao often asks him for help at work, almost using him as a free labor force.

This kind of love relationship is not what the audience wants to see.
When the finale of the play was on demand ahead of schedule, # Qian Sanyi didn’t graduate # rushed to the hot search. He finally chose to give up his studies in Tsinghua and go to work in Shenzhen. This makes many viewers feel that others have set up a collapse.
Someone commented: "It’s good to get the bridge of depression and pave the way for the love line in stages. Why should the favored one become a mortal in the end?" Qian Sanyi is obviously not such a person. "
Netizens also inevitably calculated for Qian Sanyi, whether it is worthwhile to give up this degree, and then think carefully: No, this is the protagonist who has given up his studies.
The leading characters in youth films, all of them go and study hard for me.
In the first part of Pi, under the strict control of parents, Lin Miaomiao became rebellious. Before the college entrance examination, she did not concentrate on her studies, but spent a lot of time and energy on eating and broadcasting. This made many viewers hate her.
Because Lin Miaomiao had the opportunity to meet Qian Sanyi and others, she was admitted to the elite middle school by her extraordinary performance, and her parents entrusted her to enter the key class. Her three good friends have much better family conditions, and even if they don’t study hard, there are other ways out. One can go into business, and the other can go into a theater. What’s more, Qian Sanyi comes from a Kochi family and studies hard, while Lin Miaomiao can be said to be ordinary in all aspects.
If she had studied hard, she would have hoped to go to a 211 university, and she would have the opportunity to advance side by side with Qian Sanyi. However, the live broadcast delayed the review of the college entrance examination, and in the end she only got two books.

In real life, Lin Miaomiao, who is studying in two local universities, has almost no possibility of intersecting with Qian Sanyi, a top student in Tsinghua University. Two people will live in different worlds and no longer have much in common.
Fortunately, this is just a TV series. In the second part, Qian Sanyi came home from depression and they were reunited.
The audience looked forward to Lin Miaomiao’s healing of Qian Sanyi’s heart, and the two of them worked hard together to make progress. Unexpectedly, in the ending, Qian Sanyi turned out to be just a college dropout. In order to treat the disease, he has dropped out of school for two years, and he will not graduate unless he goes back to school to continue his studies. In the end, instead of going back, he chose to do scientific research.
In the play, friends commented that Qian Sanyi "Shang Zhongyong never graduated". /"Youth School 2"
Many netizens are dissatisfied. On the one hand, they feel that it is unreasonable to give up Tsinghua’s education and still do scientific research. On the other hand, they feel sorry and sad for him. Someone concluded: "If I see the protagonist of a novel or TV series delaying his study, I will go crazy with anger."
Looking back, there are actually quite a few protagonists who have suffered academic setbacks like Qian Sanyi.
In "The Best of Us", the male host Yu Huai failed in the college entrance examination and was admitted to Tsinghua when he repeated his studies, but he had to choose a local university to take care of his sick mother. This has become a "difficult meaning" in the hearts of many drama fans.

In another work of the same series of "Zhenhua Trilogy", "Orange Born in Huainan", the male host attended Peking University in Huainan, made a big mistake in one thought and was expelled, and never continued his studies.
In "Suddenly Summer", Zhang Yuan, the male host, was originally a seed player in a top university, but he failed in the college entrance examination and finally gave up his studies to start a business. Netizen commented: "One step is wrong, and it hurts him if you think about it."
It is not unreasonable for the man to drop out of school and start a business. /"Suddenly this summer"
Such a plot arrangement makes it hard not to think of the routine of early youth pain works.
In Left Ear, Xu Yi, a top student, fell in love with Li Bala, a bad girl, and finally got into three universities. Since then, she has been very decadent.

In that year in a hurry, Chen Xun, the male host, deliberately gave up a big question of 13 points in the college entrance examination in order to go to the same university as Fang Fen, the female host. This bridge has been ridiculed by netizens for many years, and so far many teachers will say before sending students to the examination room: "Don’t give up the last big question for that ta."
Domestic youth films always seem to like to shoot the drama of the protagonist’s academic frustration, which may provide a negative teaching material for middle school students while increasing the abuse of the plot. But every film uses the same routine. For the sake of drama and drama, netizens who have studied in college can’t stand it anyway.
How did "genius fall into the world" become the favorite of screenwriters?
It is always a pity that a genius learns from God and degenerates into the mortal world, but how did it become a classic bridge that the screenwriter couldn’t put down? There are reasons left over from the times.
In the past, youth pain literature was still very marketable. After Xueba fell in love with the scum, it is common in these novels to hand in blank papers for the ta exam and give up big questions. Don’t give up your studies for love. What has the protagonist never done? Puppy love, sex, abortion, cheating, breaking up, which novel does not "whole" the whole process, are embarrassed to say that they are youth literature.
These things are naturally something that adolescent girls dare not do. However, the exaggerated plot written in the novel can make them substitute themselves into the sadness of "looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle", thus temporarily escaping from the pressure of schoolwork. Those behaviors that seem melodramatic now are easy to resonate with them at that time.
Slightly melodramatic sentences are almost standard for youth films. /"In a hurry"
In 2012, The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years was a hot box office, and was later described by many people as "a good film brought out N bad films". After 2013, youth films adapted from novel IP began to blossom everywhere, such as To Youth We Will Die, Tiny Times and You at the Same Table. "Novel adaptation+popular star starring+large-scale publicity+low quality" has become their standard.
Film critic Jack Ma once analyzed that these films can generally earn more than 10 times the box office investment, and they can be returned within the first week or even the first day of release. No wonder capital favors IP adaptation so much.
The problem is that the original works used for film and television adaptation are usually created several years ago or even more than ten years ago. For example, the novel "Left Ear" was published in 2006. When the film was released in 2014, it was barely the last bus to catch up with the trend of "youth pain" and was called "too dog blood". After all, the audience is tired of the old routine of moaning without illness.
Times have changed, and youth films that are prone to abortion are not popular. The film had to find a way to break through from other aspects. If you try to be true, in fact, you have a high demand for scriptwriting skills, and if you are not careful, it will easily become a dull running account. In order to make the plot memorable, the best way is to create conflicts.
If you don’t have an abortion or cheat, you’ll probably have to make a fuss about your studies.
As a result, the genius who looks less "dog blood" has gradually become a common new routine. If one party in love fails in the college entrance examination, can’t you abuse the audience with "long-distance love"?

Originally, under the premise of ensuring quality, it seems that having regrets can make people remember their works better. From time to time, you will think of the role that makes you "unable to understand", which is also the embodiment of the vitality of the work.
As everyone knows, the audience now doesn’t buy it. "Plain is true", ignorant innocence, hazy feelings and hidden feelings are more touching to them than dramatic conflicts.
In "Hello, Old Times", although Lin Yang tried to change to liberal arts for Yu Zhouzhou, his mother was worried that he would always delay his study around Yu Zhouzhou and once asked him to transfer. This is more like the youth of ordinary people. In the end, they were admitted to Peking University together. There is no such thing as "genius falling into the world", and they can also get a high score of 8.6 points in Douban.

Give up your career for love, this netizen can’t do it.
In any case, today’s audience really don’t like watching the protagonist sacrifice for love.
The primary reason is naturally more routines and aesthetic fatigue. When netizens spit out the finale of "Youth School 2" and think of a series of protagonists with similar endings, they will feel boring.
The screenwriter may want to show that there are other ways out of step by step, but the audience is beginning to feel that it is unrealistic to give up their studies or careers.
Some netizens said: "Nothing else can be substituted, but I will be very angry if the role gives up the college entrance examination or something."
Those young girls who have read the literature of youth pain have grown up and suffered social beatings. They found that it is really important to go to a good university.
I studied hard all the way myself, and some people have all kinds of regrets about the college entrance examination. When they saw that the protagonist could have gone to Tsinghua Peking University, they were self-indulgent, and they naturally felt a strong sense of substitution, so they wanted to study for the protagonist.
The man turned in a blank paper, and the netizen was mad. /Basic Law of Genius
This audience, reading is much harder than the leading role in youth films. In a sense, the "sense of substitution" of netizens’ role learning in TV series may be the mapping of academic anxiety in reality.
Because they know that Lin Miaomiao, who had the opportunity to go to 211 but only got two exams, will actually drift away from his former friends, and his work and life will not be as satisfactory as in the drama. However, Qian Sanyi, who could have gone back to Tsinghua to resume his studies but gave up, probably won’t be recognized by the society.
Nowadays, people are more enterprising than one. They just want to "make money" and live a good life. They think that academic career is much more important than love. Do you want to change your college entrance examination wishes for the people you like? Do you want to quit your job for someone else? Most people’s answer is "no".
Modern netizens firmly believe: "With a career, even without love, there is at least money."
On a social media, netizens answered "Will they change their college entrance examination volunteers for the object?".
Of course, this is not to say that people don’t need love. People just stop paying for the bitter drama, and their understanding of love has already gone beyond "bottomless spoil" and "unilateral redemption".
This contains a more positive attitude towards life: they hope that they deserve a beautiful love, rather than sacrificing their better selves for love.
Back in the TV series, for those characters who give up their academic career for love, netizens just want to say: "It is the first thing to live a good life, and the self-righteous efforts and sacrifices are all burying mines for the future." "People who are not responsible for their own lives can expect ta to be responsible for you?"
What the audience wants is not the "industrial saccharin" of one party accommodating the other in love, but an equal relationship.
At the end of the first episode of "School of Youth", the original author Liu Liu responded: "If you want Lin Miaomiao and Qian Sanyi to be together, you should encourage Lin Miaomiao to do his best to be excellent, so as to be worthy of the excellent Qian Sanyi. The prince and Cinderella thing can only be used to paralyze ordinary you. Real princes, married lovers, all have super powers. "
It’s a pity that "Pi 2" changed its screenwriter, and the plot development ran counter to this passage.
Who doesn’t want the accusation of Lin Miaomiao’s ex-boyfriend to be false? /"Youth School 2"
Qian Sanyi doesn’t have to be depressed to be a good match with Lin Miaomiao, nor does she have to help her work so much to fall in love. What the audience wants to see is that they have their own careers and a better future together. The love we appreciate is not worship or attachment, but seeing each other’s beauty, accompanying each other and working together.
When can domestic dramas have such "Lin Miaomiao" and "Qian Sanyi"?
