The singing and dancing actress starts by transmigrating into a trainee.

At the same time, renowned film critic Ruan Shaohui published a VB article.

"I went to see director Qian You's 'Youth Without Confusion' today, and I really have to say, after two years, I'm impressed."

Director Qian has grasped the style of youth films this time, especially in his use of light and shadow, using contrast between light and dark to increase the sense of layering;

Its color scheme also draws the audience into the campus filled with the sound of cicadas.

The plot and pacing are well-controlled, with surprising yet reasonable twists and turns. The plot avoids excessive embellishment, making it feel more realistic.

I've seen a lot of comments from everyone, so I'll just talk about some small details of this movie.

The female lead, Wang Ke, has a name that, when reversed, means "desire." From the very beginning, it was stated that the female lead longed for family affection, which also laid the groundwork for the changes in the female lead later on.

The scene where Wang Ke and the school heartthrob appear, with the scenery behind Wang Ke blurred and slowed down, easily conveys Wang Ke's secret crush on the school heartthrob and foreshadows their final fate.

The opening scene of the movie shows the female lead looking on with envy as a child, and then the scene where she finally receives the prize.

This also signifies that the female protagonist is finally able to take control of her own life, and represents her growth.

The mother, who never appears throughout the story, represents not only warmth but also a spiritual force and hope, which can also be seen as a dream that has been pursued.

The female lead's final smile seemed to be a sign of acceptance of the past and a release from her obsessions.

In fact, what she let go of was not only her obsession, but also her abandonment of family ties.

Considering her upbringing, she lacked her mother's presence, and although her father was by her side, she did not receive his love.

So it's also telling everyone that if you lack parental love in your childhood, you will become indifferent to family love when you grow up.

Children should be given more love and care; once they grow up, it will be too late to make amends.

This film tells the story of growing up, which, although somewhat cruel, is an inevitable part of life.

This might be helpful for those who are feeling lost; hopefully it will bring them some hope.

What surprised me even more was the performance of the female lead, Song Yue.

After watching it, I only felt two words: natural.

First of all, Wang Ke's inner emotions are quite complex, even contradictory.

She clearly longed for her father's love, but pretended to be strong and said she didn't need it at all.

She's like a hedgehog with its quills raised when facing her stepmother, but becomes a lively and sunny high school student once she leaves home. She's a good friend who can laugh and joke around with her friends, but a shy and secret admirer when facing the school heartthrob.

Matsumatsuki clearly has a deep understanding of the character's personality, background, emotions, and motivations.

Even the slightest movements are reactions and psychological changes in specific environments.

Just like the conflict with her father, the emotions escalated layer by layer. Even when she was thrown away, her right hand unconsciously braced itself on the sofa, which shows that she was very familiar with her surroundings and that this was a physical response to it.

Just like the home you've lived in for over ten years, you're naturally very familiar with every place, so familiar that you can find the refrigerator with your eyes closed.

Also, when she gets home late and opens or closes her bedroom door, she unconsciously lifts it up slightly to prevent it from creaking.

Every simple little movement feels real, as if you are using conscious techniques to shape the body into a character.

Moreover, she is able to grasp the rhythm and intensity of the performance, neither being overly exaggerated and appearing artificial, nor too subtle and failing to convey the character's emotions.

This illustrates the need for strong control.

All of these factors combined make her performance so natural, so natural that the audience believes such a person really exists in the world.

It's a pleasant surprise to see a newcomer in the film industry with such acting skills, and I'm also happy that there are more and more newcomers like this in the film industry.

Finally, one last thing.

Because I was pleasantly surprised by Song Yue's acting skills, I searched for her acting experience and found that she only has one TV series.

I watched it, and you can clearly see the changes in Song Yue's acting skills in this TV series. From her initial naivety with a lot of talent, to her gradual use of acting techniques later on.

I almost watched too much of it by accident, which is why this review is only being published now.

To reiterate, acting skills, whether based on talent or technique, ultimately serve the script. Neither is inherently superior; it's simply a matter of which performance is more outstanding.

Many people couldn't help but laugh after seeing this VB.

This reminds me of two years ago when Ruan Shaohui also posted a film review late at night about Qian You's film "Youth in Reverse".

It's so pretentious it's nauseating. It tries to depict youth but ends up just whining and moaning. The production quality is as rough as a bumpy dirt road from the 1950s, and the actors' performances are a disastrous example of what not to do.

The insults were absolutely brutal.

As Ruan Shaohui said, not many people actually watched that movie. Because of that movie's huge failure, Qian Youna faced many twists and turns when preparing this film.

Even now, that film review hasn't been deleted, and everyone can't help but dig it up and read it.

The difference between the two is so great that everyone else thought that Old Ruan had been bribed by Qian You.

Everyone was curious about just how impressed Ruan Shaohui was that he praised him so highly.

As for whether what Ruan Shaohui said is true or not, people can still believe it.

Over the years, Ruan Shaohui's film reviews have generally been objective and fair.

Especially the all-star production "Revelation" from a year ago, which was praised by almost everyone for its good plot, cool special effects, and so on.

As a result, Ruan Shaohui gave it a scathing critique, saying that the plot adaptation was so bad that even a dog wouldn't want to eat it, and that the seemingly cool industrial-style special effects were actually worse than five-cent special effects, and that the film made people look neither human nor ghost.

At the time, Ruan Shaohui's Weibo account was flooded with support from fans, but the final result was just as Ruan Shaohui had predicted. The so-called 600 million yuan big production didn't even reach half of its box office, and it flopped so badly that even its own mother wouldn't recognize it.

Ruan Shaohui used to be a professional film journalist, but now that he's retired, he works as a film critic. He doesn't make a living from this; he just loves watching movies.

And despite his age, his sharp tongue is incredibly scathing when he criticizes others.

This is also why he attracts a portion of his fans.

What surprised everyone even more was that he actually praised Matsue's acting skills.

Matsue and the others knew that the members of the very famous group 'Miracle' were going to hold a concert soon.

Can someone with such a large following act in a good movie?

Previously, movies used popular celebrities, but that was just to boost box office and fleece fans. Basically, they could make a quick buck on the first day, but the box office would plummet in the following days.

However, since Old Man Ruan has said so, they will have to see if it is really as good as he says.

As a result, some people opened their phones to buy tickets, only to find that all the nearby cinemas were sold out. This is getting more and more interesting.

Qian You was just about to go to sleep when a message popped up on her phone.

The blogger you're following has posted something, go check it out!

Qian You saw Ruan Shaohui's blog post, and after reading it, the smile on his face almost reached the sky.

He now has a love-hate relationship with Ruan Shaohui.

His VB post back then did indeed get him a lot of flak, but he also knew it was the truth.

But it was also because of his words that he put in a tremendous amount of effort into this film.

Qian You could finally go to sleep peacefully.
