From horror to youth

After last year's horror film "Please Close Your Eyes When It's Dark", the famous director Forrest Gump suddenly turned around and turned to the theme of youth campus. He took a fancy to a documentary novel "Sheep with Wings" written by Shenzhen girl Niu Niu, which recorded her study and life in Britain at the age of 16, and adapted the novel into a script. Shooting started in Britain last October.

The movie "Seven Hours Time Difference" truly records the heroine's experience of studying alone in Britain at the age of 16. In order to achieve the real effect, Forrest Gump spent 21 million pounds to shoot a panoramic picture in Britain. Apart from Niu Niu and Edison Chen, there were several China students who went to Britain from various places. The other actors and other crew members were almost all British. During the scene selection in England, Forrest Gump found a girls' school to be auctioned, which has a teaching building and student dormitory full of British ancient culture, a wide football field, a quiet grove in the park, and there is no one to disturb it. Everything is perfect, and it has become the shooting place of the film.

In an interview with reporters, Forrest Gump revealed his idea of taking risks to shoot this expensive youth campus film. He said: "In the past two years, several high-selling young novelists, such as Han Han and Jing M.Guo, have emerged, and their works have been adapted into TV series and put on the screen. Niu Niu is the only one of these young writers who has received western education. Her vision is broad, her historical burden is light, her writing is obviously light and more entertaining. This is the main reason why I want to turn the novel into a movie after reading it. Moreover, the current upsurge of studying abroad is higher and higher. Everyone imagines foreign schools as paradise. Few people really understand the life of China students abroad. There is no film and television drama with this theme in the market, so I dare to take this risk and spend 21 million yuan to shoot such an expensive youth movie in the UK. "

About the original work

At the beginning of 22, Niu Niu created a 15,-word debut novel, Sheep with Wings, based on her experience of studying in middle schools in Britain. Since its publication in May 22, the book has been reprinted eight times, with a total print run of 15, copies. The overseas Chinese copyright of the novel was bought by Taiwan Province Minsheng Newspaper Co., Ltd. in July 23. In July 24, cartoons adapted from the original novel were published and welcomed by young readers.

In 23, Niu Niu adapted the book Sheep with Wings into a screenplay "Life Translated", where she acted as a screenwriter and played the heroine. This film, invested and produced by Shenzhen Dream Tunnel Film and Television Culture Development Co., Ltd., tells the story of a 16-year-old China girl who went to Britain alone, reflecting the process of a generation of young international students studying abroad, growing up, striving for self-improvement and struggling, and the sunshine mentality reflected from it. This film is the first youth campus feature film shot in a panoramic way abroad in China at present, and it is expected to make its domestic premiere on October 27th, 24. On the eve of the film's release, Niu Niu will also launch a new work "Electric Shock in London", revealing the details of the film "Time Difference of Seven Hours" from the perspective of a newcomer.

in June, 24, Niu Niu became the host of the TV program "Niu Niu uses 1 sentences in English skillfully".

The famous saying in the original book

The test is both tempering and growth. In accepting the most real test of society, people grow the fastest and mature the fastest.

We don't have to be tit-for-tat with adults in the period of judgment, and we don't have to be rebellious in the period of judgment.

sixteen knows no national boundaries.

In May, the gloomy sky was finally replaced by a clear and transparent blue, and the continuous drizzle gradually turned into mild sunshine. Outside the window, thousands of fresh and elegant yellow and white daisies are dotted with green grass. When the breeze rises, the soft and delicate tidbits of dandelion are flying in the air, quietly adding a ray of unreal romance to the campus in early summer. Under the clear sky, everything is gradually becoming clear and transparent. All the things that can't be solved, all the knots that can't be opened, seem to be clear in the bright sunshine in summer.

Now that you have grown up, you should believe in yourself and rely on yourself. Learn to be strong and stand up for yourself.

Walking on this campus, you don't need to study at all, just like getting smart.

Attachment: A passage from Shakespeare read by Niu Niu in Seven Hours Time Difference

Hamlet:To be, or not to be- that is the question:

Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer

The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune

Or to take ar ms against a sea of troubles,

And by opposing end them. To die- to sleep-

No more; and by a sleep to say we end

The heartache, and the thousand natural shocks

That flesh is heir to. 'Tis a consummation

Devoutly to be wish'd. To die- to sleep.

To sleep- perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub!

For in that sleep of death what dreams may come

When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,

Must give us pause. There's the respect

That makes calamity of so long life.

For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,

Th' oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely,

The pangs of despis'd love, the law's delay,

The insolence of office, and the spurns

That patient merit of th' unworthy takes,

When he himself might his quietus make

With a bare bodkin? Who would these fardels bear,

To grunt and sweat under a weary life,

But that the dread of something after death-

The undiscover'd country, from whose bourn

No traveller returns- puzzles the will,

And makes us rather bear those ills we have

Than fly to others that we know not of?

Thus conscience does make cowards of us all,

And thus the native hue of resolution

Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,

and enterprises of great pitch and moment

with this reward their currencies turn awry

and lose the name of action.
