Today, the 39th Golden Awards announced the winners, and “You Young” won eight awards including best film, best director, best actress and best new actor. Among them, the most controversial is probably the best screenplay award jointly won by Lin Yongchen, Li Yuan and Xu Yimeng. “Congratulations to Keigo Higashino”, “The Trend of Hong Kong Films” and so on.
This is actually the question of the extent to which we as a viewer have jurisdiction and the scope of the controversy between the original work and the controversy: Whether the original work is suspected of controversy and the film adaptation script was sentenced to “death penalty”? Can we still talk about it at the play level?

The original “Youth of the Youth” is a typical youth pain novel, lacking reasonable logical clues, and the one-way redemption emotion between the protector and the protected is not brilliant. Therefore, how to add on the existing “campus bullying” issue, transition from the character state, inner thoughts to specific actions, “reduce the romance setting, and truly show the social part” has become a problem in front of the screenwriter team .
This is the second collaboration between the screenwriter team after “July and Ansheng” in 2017. Hong Kong novelist Lin Yongchen is the soul character of the team, leading the construction of the story frame and reversal. It was she who proposed to introduce the original novel at the beginning of the film “July and Ansheng”, but without explaining the author, Chen Kexin said that “from the novel to “The perfect export of movies”, everything becomes logical. Mainland screenwriters Li Yuan and Xu Yimeng are responsible for making the plot more reasonable and creating “grounded” dialogue and details.
