Love Little Yellow Book

Most girls start to fall in love with romance novels at some point in their lives. These novels have different names in different eras and regions: Mandarin Duck and Butterfly School, Voice of Wei Mi, Ice Cream Literature... I started to come into contact with this category of novels when I was in junior high school. At that time, everyone called it "Little Yellow Books".
These "Little Yellow Books" are small in size and easy to carry. School girls often go to the nearby bookstore to rent a few books and put them in the drawer, in case they encounter boring subjects, they can be used for emergency and relieve their brain nerves drained by the teacher. . In fact, looking back, most of these "little yellow books" are not yellow, but girls of that age are so innocent, they will feel blushing when they read the kiss between the hero and heroine. I remember back then, I once turned to a copy of Qiong Yao's "Caixia Mantian" at home. I was lying in bed with snot and tears, and there was a pile of toilet paper on the table, which made my family think that I had just transferred to a school and was bullied
... Come on, I've read so many romance novels, ahem, I'm also a senior reader, and the author Nicholas Sparks is definitely a wonderful flower. First, he is a male writer. I know quite a few writers of romance novels, but the number of well-known male writers who write novels can be counted on one hand. Second, the proportion of his novels being made into films is extremely high. Sparks began to write in 1995, and now has 18 novels, which is hardly worth mentioning when compared with Xi Xuan in Taiwan at the same time. However, 7 of his novels have been adapted into movies, and Xi Jing currently only has one TV drama that has been adapted. Of course, there are many factors, such as the difference in film and television culture and environment in the two places.
The third is that Sparks' film of the same name is no less of a quality than the novel. Generally speaking, if a novel is adapted into a movie, I usually prefer the novel, because the movie always has less characters, or is not as full as the novel in terms of characterization, etc. However, most of Sparks' movies of the same name are really high-quality, and I don't mind watching many of them several times, such as A Walk to Remeber ("Memories of First Love") and Message in Bottle ("Message in a Bottle") every time I watch it. , I always think: How can such a pure and touching story come from the hands of an uncle? What a shame for a female writer! I especially like The Notebook, which in my opinion is even slightly higher in overall quality than the original novel. The setting and the handling of the shots in the whole film are very nostalgic, and the dreamy love scenes in the readers' minds are very delicately displayed in the real shots. I give it full marks for perfection. I started to like actress Rachel McAdams from this film. Actor Ryan Gosling's infatuation in the film also made me feel good about him.
The ability of these films to enhance the audience's relationship with the actors made me silently compare Sparks to Uncle Qiong Yao in the United States until... until The Lucky One ("Lucky Charm") appeared. The film continues the consistent style of Uncle Sparks, as always, caters to the dreamy feelings of girls: a silent heroine lives a plain life, and then a handsome guy comes from thousands of miles away, just for you...
However, the fault lies in the actors and actresses. It's not that their acting skills are bad, the problem is their looks. The purpose of the Xiaohuangshu movie is to be dreamy enough. "Lucky Charm" has a perfect score in the framing, which is absolutely dreamy, but the actor's appearance can be said to fail. The imagination of readers who like Xiaohuangshu is generally amazing. In terms of appearance, readers will have a frame in advance. The actor Zac Efron, who plays the silent soldier in the film, has a very tender face. Although he has grown a beard and is mature, I can't help but see him as a cat with a crooked mouth when I look left and right. Fortunately, Zac was very dedicated and kept his face tense in the film, otherwise I would have laughed out loud in the theater. Since the male actor looks very young, the actress should choose someone as sweet as McAdams, but Miss Schillng, who is thin and tall, is not like this. The whole movie feels wrong.
