Special feature of 1905 film network Movies and online dramas are the most popular film and television works recently.
The box office of Later Us exceeded 1.1 billion, and director Rene Liu became the highest-grossing Chinese female directors in history. "Beijing Women’s Picture Book" was launched for 26 days, with a cumulative broadcast volume of 1.06 billion.
These two films and TV plays are very topical at present, and they all point to the old-fashioned topic — — North drift.
Although everyone has been talking about "fleeing" in recent years, countless people still stay or come to this city every year. Some people are for ideals, some are for love, and some are for making money … …
Xiao Dianjun’s colleague sent a circle of friends late at night after watching "Later Us". "There are very few dramas drifting north. After watching it, I can ask myself why I came to Beijing."
Similarly, when Xiao Dianjun saw the eighth episode of Beijing Women’s Picture Book, he once asked himself why he came to Beijing. However, sometimes such questions can’t be answered directly.
Just like in "Beijing Women’s Picture Book", Chen Ke moved into a single apartment from the basement. From admiring LV bags to being able to bear limited brand handbags, she would also ask herself, if this goes smoothly, why did she come to Beijing in the first place?
By the eleventh episode, the complete works lamented that it was difficult to return to their hometown. Yes, no matter how long you stay in Beijing, in the eyes of some people, you are still a foreigner; When you return to your hometown, you are already a "city dweller" in the eyes of your hometown people.
After the beginning of "drifting", there has always been a problem of identity. Only when you are with friends will you have a sense of existence.
Although the two films mentioned above focus on girls, we can’t ignore Jing Bo Ran’s role as a "boy drifting north" represented by Lin Jianqing in Later Us.
To this end, Xiao Dianjun found six younger brothers born after 90 to listen to their stories of drifting north.
X，Film director, 28 years old, drifting in the North for 4 years.
In the eyes of friends, X is a person who can live very well. Even if there are more film projects in the company, he rarely sees things about work in his circle of friends, and it is difficult to hear him talk about the "misery" of work at the party.
In his mouth, he can always "spit" everything at work into fun. Think that this is the fourth year of his "drifting north". Fortunately, I just jumped from the public relations advertising industry to the film planning industry last year.
For him, this is a new beginning.
Thinking of coming to Beijing four years ago, the purpose is simple — — For love. At that time, the object had been working in Beijing for one year, which also made him pack his bags and rush to Beijing immediately after graduation. Of course, in his eyes, there are more opportunities in Beijing and his horizons will become broader.
After arriving in Beijing, they lived together for four years and never moved. Living outside the East Fourth Ring Road is an old house, but it is big enough for two people, and occasionally I can entertain a few friends for dinner. On holidays, two people will definitely not stay at home, but will definitely go to parks or museums to find novelty.
They planted a bunch of green plants on the balcony. On holidays, when the sun just shines in, they will sit there and play games. In his eyes, isn’t life like this? Usually, he doesn’t go to bars himself, and several friends live nearby. When he has time, he will drop in, basically watching movies and playing games.
It seems that in the eyes of some people, this daily life is too dull. However, if it hadn’t happened in Beijing, even if it had returned to my hometown, this state of life might not have been established.
B，IT industry, 27 years old, drifting north for 4 years.
This year is the fourth year of B drifting north, and it is also the fourth year of graduation. In the eyes of other friends, he is in a seemingly good state — — With an annual salary of nearly one million and a Beijing work permit, the next step is to consider the problem of buying a house.
However, looking back at the past few years of graduation, it was not so smooth. Born in e-commerce, he chose to start a business in the city where the university is located at the beginning of his senior year. Unfortunately, it didn’t last long, and the first bucket of gold didn’t earn much, so he ended in failure.
Later, when the school recruited, I voted for Ali’s resume, which is one of the places that most people with e-commerce majors want to go, but unfortunately they didn’t get it.
Later, after going around, I finally received an offer from M’s family, and I started a trip to the North.
Now, B, who is ready to consider buying a house in Beijing, is living more and more frugally. Living outside the West Fifth Ring Road, if the rent rises in 400 yuan, it will change to a cheap house, even if the area is getting smaller and smaller. Usually, if you work overtime for a long time, you will wait until after 9 o’clock before leaving the company, because you can reimburse yourself by taking a taxi. However, often because of the location of the residence, master Didi has not taken the order, and he will wait until 11 o’clock or even 12 o’clock in the company.
Recently, in order to save money, B borrowed money to enter the stock market. However, the state of the stock market is not as he hoped, and it has been trapped. No, the most frequent growl I hear from him every day is "I lost it again today!"
E，Book editor, 26 years old, drifting north for 2 years.
A few days ago, e just got a train ticket in the circle of friends, which read "the third year of entering Beijing."
In fact, e sometimes still doesn’t know whether she came to Beijing because of someone else’s words or because of the so-called ideal. After graduation, e did not go to Beijing immediately, but played a safety card: he worked in the school for one year.
At that time, he had a date for more than four years. Before coming to Beijing, he had been hesitating about feelings. Until one day, the object said that if you think about bad results because you are going to be away from home, it means that neither of them has been serious about this relationship.
Of course, I broke up later because of a long distance.
At the beginning of Beijing, E was in a hurry and ran into the south wall. At one time naked resignation stayed at home for a long time. But it was that unemployment that E gradually touched the magic of Beijing. For him, Beijing is full of opportunities.
Nowadays, E is slowly gaining a foothold. Although it can’t be said that it is excellent, at least in the industry, with its own fixed circle of friends, if you really encounter any problems, you can also find corresponding friends to help solve them.
Usually, I don’t go clubbing, just stay at home. Except for going out to watch a popular cinema film occasionally, there seems to be no other excessive daily arrangements. Every time I ask him, what are your plans now? He would say, I want to save more money and travel once a year.
L，Film and television publicity, 25 years old, drifting north for 2 years.
To be precise, l only graduated for two years. However, if you count college time, he has actually stayed in Beijing for six years. Why did you come to Beijing? Maybe to stay away from parents, after all, big cities will be more diverse and inclusive.
I majored in journalism, but I have never had any news ideals since my freshman year. I have been practicing frequently since my sophomore year, trying to find a way I like.
From the very beginning, the program director, to the editor of WeChat official account, to the user operation of the travel website, and finally started the internship related to movies by mistake.
When I graduated, I broke up with my partner who had been together for more than two years. Fortunately, my career was not bad, and a well-known film and television company in an industry successfully turned positive.
Generally speaking, the past two years have not been very good. In the past two years, I moved four times, my long-distance relationship was green, my virtual currency lost money, and my home was stolen … … Anyway, I met all the things I should have met and shouldn’t have met. It’s just this inch. After working for two years, the bottleneck has also appeared: at work, it does not reflect value; In life, parents rush back to get married as soon as they call.
Career planning and life planning are becoming more and more chaotic. But fortunately, I have always been optimistic and want to stay in Beijing.
Y，Advertising industry, 24 years old, drifting north for one year.
Y has been considering whether to stay in Beijing or leave Beijing this year.
When I was an intern in my senior year, I wanted to feel the freshness of Beijing, so I invested in a 4A company. After the internship, I also successfully turned positive directly. I have been working for less than a year, and I have already started to take small projects.
The company is near Sanlitun, but it has been living in the northeast Fourth Ring Road, simply because the rent is cheap. Y is a typical young man’s state. On Fridays and Saturdays, he likes to hang out in bars with friends, but he doesn’t drink much, only one glass at most.
Usually on Fridays, he likes to work overtime in the company until 10 o’clock, and then go to eat a hot pot or something like midnight snack with his friends. After 2 o’clock, the nightclub doesn’t charge tickets, and then he goes in for a high meal. If friends leave early, he is used to sleeping on a friend’s sofa. After all, it is too expensive to take a taxi back from the Drum Tower.
When I went home for the Spring Festival this year, I chatted with my friends in my hometown about my experience in Beijing and suddenly had the idea of going to Shanghai. In his view now, Beijing is too big, and even after staying for one year, he still hasn’t found a sense of existence.
W，Artist agent, 23 years old, drifting north for 4 years.
W After failing in the college entrance examination, I came to Beijing. At that time, the idea was very simple, and there must be many opportunities here. When I first came to Beijing, I did almost everything, but it was not the most tiring time.
Later, I slowly began to adjust my work. Starting from the artist’s publicity, I followed the first-line male stars, also took the flow actresses, and was also dragged to take the film project. Tired? In fact, I was very tired. I was busy until midnight and fell asleep directly in the hotel bathtub. When running publicity with artists, I hardly stayed at home for two months; When I was sick, I stayed at home alone, and it was really unbearable to call my friends for help.
Last year was probably the most carefree year and the most "miserable" year for W. In the middle of the year, I completely ended my cooperation with the flowing male stars and entered a long-term unemployed life. Although an olive branch has been thrown at him, it has not been accepted.
This time, he really wanted to rest. After working as an artist for so many years, his life and rest were irregular, which led to his poor health.
Recently, he officially said in a circle of friends that he was going to take up his post again, but this time he brought a newcomer who had just returned from overseas. Compared with previous artists, this newcomer has not produced any works.
However, in his view, never underestimate the potential stocks, who knows what will happen in the future.
Seeing this, Xiao Dianjun wants to ask, are you living in your hometown or wandering around?
