How do you evaluate the movie "Little Times" adapted from Guo Jingming's novel?

I don’t want to discuss the content of the movie "Tiny Times" itself, or the creation itself, because I can’t talk about anything, and I personally have no interest in the movie story itself. But from the perspective of this film and the domestic film market, I am very interested in it, and I think "Tiny Times" is very valuable, because it is witnessing the absurdity of this era and the barbaric growth of the film market like a road roller. In terms of film positioning, Hollywood can have the big movie "Sex and City" and the American TV series "Gossip Girl". Why can't China have a movie like "Tiny Times"? (If you insist on watching the end credits, you will witness the largest and densest cluster of fashion logos in the closing credits in the history of Chinese films. It will make people almost have a phobia of things). I saw many people online saying " "Little Times" is the Chinese version of the "Twilight" series of movies, but so what? From a market perspective, whenever someone starts to compare Chinese movies with Hollywood movies, it is already considered progress and praise for extremely backward Chinese movies. If "Du Lala's Promotion" is a turning point in the combination of China's best-selling book market and movies (there have been many thriller-themed movies made about Internet horror novels before, but they were not very influential), then "Tiny Times" should represent China The combination of best-selling books and the film and television industry has reached a new level - text authors directly become film directors and screenwriters.

Although China’s best-selling book market is not large, and the vast majority of the domestic book market is still teaching aids, the close contact between best-selling books (novels) and movies is an irreversible trend, and it is also a trend for movies. One of the important signs of rapid market development. The novel "Gone with the Wind" in film history was published in 1936 and the film was released in 1939. The film producer purchased the filming rights in 1936 before the novel was officially released. This is the earliest successful case of combining movies and best-selling books that I know of, and it was also the time when the Hollywood studio system was beginning to enter its heyday. From this perspective, from the perspective of film practitioners, cheer for "Tiny Times". This is another "new face" domestic film that has never appeared before (this has no logical relationship with whether the film is good or bad). In the current era of resource integration, whoever can provide fresh and stimulating content will be able to break through the siege (the quality of content has an inevitable logical relationship with word-of-mouth. Content probably refers to whether the story is interesting and clear. Whether the actors are engaging and whether the director has some original ideas). No matter how many people say something bad about "Tiny Times", it is just a youth movie (there will be another episode, and maybe the series will continue). Compared with toxic air, toxic food and toxic ideology, , the toxicity of this movie and novel, which is always criticized as "toxic" to teenagers, is negligible in my opinion.

The experience of watching this movie is very strange to me - it's like a strange uncle accidentally broke into the erotic dreams of girls. He was helpless, on pins and needles, struggled, and then fell asleep. I fell asleep repeatedly, woke up, watched the ending, waited until the subtitles ended, and then exited.

"Tiny Times" may be a documentary from the perspective of the youth spirit in 2013, and perhaps this is its greatest value.
