Character evaluation

Yang Yazhe's directing style is very open, which also gives actors a lot of room to play and improvise. "The lost boy" is Yang Yazhe's first film, but he presents the most difficult children poetically, and the audio-visual language also reflects the rich and exquisite. Through two mischievous, whimsical little boys, he narrates their friendship and family relationship in a humorous way, so that the audience can wake up their friends in laughter and tears Memories of my childhood. In the movie "girlfriend · boyfriend", although Yang Yazhe tries to put her feelings into the social background, the method is still very shallow. Yang Yazhe's criticism of the rigid system and inappropriate traditional values can show his sympathy, which also makes him construct a world view of the author with brand recognition. In addition, when directing the MV "home (III)", Yang Yazhe, the director of Guicai, presented a more shining and moving level of "home" for the MV with the camera language full of love and emotion (Netease, Sanlian Life Weekly, Sina, Mai Ruoyu, Sohu, hongwangping).
