August has arrived.

Huang Xiaoming scored 358 points on the college entrance examination, far exceeding expectations.

Yes, it's higher than my score in my previous life.

I also received my admission letter from the Beijing Film Academy.

The Huang family held a grand celebration for the student's graduation.

Fang Yuan also got to enjoy several big meals.

However, the plot changed later on.

Aunt Zhang tells everyone she meets that it was fortunate that Yuan had done some crazy things before the college entrance examination.

That's why Huang Xiaoming got good grades.

At this moment, the guests would burst into laughter.

He jokingly said that it was a good method and he would definitely learn from it.

Fang Yuan was too ashamed to live.

When good things happen, people are in high spirits; that's Huang Xiaoming for you.

Well, even without any happy occasion, he's still the same.

He flipped through Fang Yuan's masterpiece, praising it while simultaneously offering his critiques.

Yes, Fang Yuan has started his book-copying project again.

To get closer to her senior, she and her best friends began a series of clumsy yet adorable attempts:

Phase Three: Confessions and Missed Opportunities (Graduation)

On the day of her junior high school graduation, Xiao Shui mustered up her courage and confessed her feelings to A Liang.

Ah Liang transitioned from a football player to a professional photographer.

A Perfect Reunion:

Nine years later, Xiao Shui returned to China to participate in a television interview and reunited with A Liang.

After clearing up all the misunderstandings, their nine-year-long mutual unrequited love finally came to fruition.

The core theme is transformation for love and reunion with regret.

First love is really just a small thing.

The most important thing in youth is to grow into a better version of yourself for the sake of love.

"Back to 20" is a fantasy comedy film released in 2015.

It is a remake of the South Korean film "Miss Granny".

The story revolves around a 70-year-old woman who unexpectedly returns to her 20-year-old self, regaining her youth, musical dreams, and love.

The story of ultimately choosing between family and self.

Shen Mengjun (played by Gui Yalei):

At 70 years old, she has an eccentric temper and is prone to nagging. She has raised her son with great difficulty all her life, and her biggest regret is not becoming a singer when she was young. Due to escalating conflicts with her daughter-in-law, her family discussed sending her to a nursing home.

Heartbroken, Shen Mengjun passed by a "Youth Photo Studio" and wanted to take a memorial photo.

Unexpectedly, after leaving the photo studio, she miraculously transformed back into her youthful 20-year-old self.

Shocked, she decides to change her name to Meng Lijun (played by Yang Zishan), keeping it a secret from everyone, and live for herself for once.

By chance, Meng Lijun met Xiang Qianjin, the grandson of Xiang Qianjin, who was forming a band.

With her beautiful voice and talent that had been buried for many years, she joined the band and became the lead singer.

She used her wisdom as an elderly person to help the band write songs and change their style, overcoming all obstacles and making the band quickly become popular, while she also rekindled her dream of becoming a singer.

Having regained her youth, Meng Lijun experienced three wonderful romances:

With Xiang Qianjin: Grandmother and grandson become teammates, the grandson develops a budding affection for her, leading to many funny situations.

With Tan Ziming: The music director was attracted by her unique charm and began to pursue her, allowing her to experience young love for the first time.

With Li Dahai: The old man recognized her, silently protected her, and reminded her that time cannot be turned back.

Just as she was enjoying both career and love success and was about to stand on the final stage, Xiang Qianjin suffered a serious car accident and urgently needed a bone marrow transplant with a special blood type. Only Shen Mengjun, who had returned to her 70-year-old self, was a match.

On one side is a vibrant and wonderful youth that has been regained, and on the other side is a beloved grandson who is connected to them by blood and needs to be saved.

Meng Lijun ultimately gave up the chance to stay young forever, and donated blood to save her grandson at the finals.

As blood flowed out, her body rapidly aged, reverting to Shen Mengjun.

Xiang Qianjin was rescued, and Shen Mengjun returned home.

After this experience, the family members learned to cherish each other more, and their relationship became harmonious.

Although her appearance has aged, she has no regrets, because she has truly lived, loved, and fulfilled her dreams.

Core theme: Youth is precious, but family is priceless.

The film uses a fantasy setting to explore themes of aging, family, dreams, and life choices, bringing both laughter and tears.

"Lost in Thailand" is a classic Chinese road comedy released in 2010.

Starring Xu Zheng and Wang Baoqiang.

Set against the backdrop of the Spring Festival travel rush, the film tells the story of a boss and a migrant worker who are forced to travel together due to a series of coincidences.

The journey was full of unexpected situations and hilarious moments.

The story of mutual redemption and rediscovering one's original aspirations amidst a series of mishaps.

The ending of the story:

After returning home, Li Chenggong (Xu Zheng) felt deeply guilty in the face of his gentle wife.

He completely abandoned the idea of ​​divorce, returned to his family, and privately resolved the issue of unpaid wages owed to Niu Geng and others.

Niu Geng (Wang Baoqiang): Although the process was tortuous, I finally got my wages and believed that "there is true love in the world".

Core theme: There are different social statuses, but no one is inherently superior or inferior in human nature.

Amidst the chaos of the journey, we rediscover lost kindness, responsibility, and family bonds, experiencing laughter and tears.

Writing a novel based on a movie is relatively easy.

"What's wrong with your brain?"

Huang Xiaoming laughed as he watched.

"Next year, I'll apply to the Beijing Film Academy, just like you."

"I'm not going."

In fact, Fang Yuan knew that he didn't have many choices.

These things I wrote will eventually end up on the screen, since they aren't very literary.

Even those with high literary merit couldn't recall it.

I want to apply to the Central Academy of Drama.

"Central Academy of Drama? Why?"

"There are many beautiful girls at the Central Academy of Drama."

Actually, what Fang Yuan wanted to say was that he wanted to go to the Central Academy of Drama to learn more.

After all, he had experience from his previous life.

The screenwriting major at the Central Academy of Drama places greater emphasis on basic skills and literary foundation.

Beijing Film Academy focuses more on the film industry.

Another reason is that screenwriters from the Central Academy of Drama are more likely to be hired into the formal staff.

For people from Shandong province, the ultimate goal is to get a government job.

Fang Yuan felt that a stable life was more important than anything else.

"Wow, are there few pretty girls at Beijing Film Academy?"

"Hmm, not as many as the Central Academy of Drama."

Of course, there are fewer than at the Central Academy of Drama. Fang Yuan knew that the Central Academy of Drama's 96 acting class.

Eight golden flowers.

Zeng Li.

Moreover, it seems that Chen Hao was also in the class of '97 when he enrolled.

He's a heartthrob!

I don't know if he remembers the time correctly.

Wait, it seems there really are some great beauties in Huang Xiaoming's class at Beijing Film Academy.

The most beautiful Chang'e.

"It's not good for someone so young to be thinking about beautiful women."

"No wonder he invited female classmates to his house, under the guise of tutoring."

"Get lost, it's just tutoring."

"Oh? You've got your eye on her?"

"How could that be? You're acting like a boy. I was just helping out."

Do you really believe me if I say I have no interest?

"Damn, even if I had ideas, I'd go to Lin Xiaotong, not Chen Xia!"

Wow! Lin Xiaotong, she's a top student and a beauty!

"You're awesome!"

"I'm just saying, I'm nobody."

"Look at you, getting impatient!"
