《老男孩》:緬懷青春 重拾夢想

導(dǎo)讀：“夢想這東西和經(jīng)典一樣，永遠(yuǎn)不會因為時間而褪色（fade），反而更顯珍貴。”青春系列電影之一《老男孩》讓眾多網(wǎng)友直言“飆淚”、“淚流滿面”。《老男孩》為何走紅，它又是憑借什么賺取了千萬觀眾的眼淚？

  What does it take to touch a generation?
  它是如何感動一代人的呢？

  It`s a question faced hundreds of times by Xiao Yang, whose online film Old Boys is resonating deeply with Chinese born in the 1970s and 1980s.
  這正是肖央思索了無數(shù)次的問題，而由他導(dǎo)演的網(wǎng)絡(luò)短片《老男孩》使得中國上世紀(jì)七八十年代生人產(chǎn)生了強(qiáng)烈共鳴。

  In the movie, Xiao plays a wedding party host who loves singing, while his real life business partner Wang Taili plays a hairdresser who loves dancing.
  在電影里，肖央飾演一位喜愛唱歌的婚慶司儀，而他現(xiàn)實生活中的合作伙伴王太利則扮演了一位熱愛舞蹈的理發(fā)師。

  But their youthful dreams have been replaced by reality.
  而他們年輕時的夢想早已被現(xiàn)實取代。

  At the end of the movie, the two old boys walk onto a talent show to realize their dreams, even though everyone is making fun of them.
  在影片最后，盡管所有人都取笑他們，兩個老男孩還是選擇登上選秀舞臺去實現(xiàn)他們最初的夢想。

  When they sing a beautiful elegy to youth, a lament for all the things lost along the way, many were in tears. The song features the music of Ohashi Takya`s Arigatou, with lyrics written by the pair, known in the film and in reality as the Chopstick Brothers.
  當(dāng)他們唱起動人的青春挽歌，悼念一路走來錯失的所有，許多人都流下了眼淚。這首歌的旋律來自大橋卓彌的《謝謝》，詞作者便是短片中的二人組，即現(xiàn)實中的“筷子兄弟”組合。

  The film has been viewed online more than 26 million times since its Oct 28 debut.
  自10月28日首映起，該短片已經(jīng)在線播放超過2600萬次。

  "I didn`t see that coming," said Xiao, 31, who makes a living shooting commercials but who had long considered shooting a film.
  31歲的肖央表示：“我之前根本沒想到這部片子會如此受歡迎。”他靠拍攝商業(yè)廣告為生，卻一直都想著要拍一部電影。

  The old boys` story came easily. As fans of Michael Jackson, Xiao and Wang told a story about ordinary people recapturing their lost dreams - performing Michael Jackson songs on the stage -- in memory of their icon and their own dying dreams.
  《老男孩》講述的故事很簡單。作為邁克爾•杰克遜的歌迷，為紀(jì)念自己的偶像和逝去的夢想，肖央和王太利講訴了一個普通人重拾夢想的故事，并安排他們在片中上臺演繹杰克遜的歌曲。
