Poster of Spice Girl at the Bottom
On April 14th, the Japanese film "Spice Girl at the Bottom" was released. It has been almost five years since the last Japanese live-action film "Norwegian Forest" was released in China.
The film, starring Arimura Kasumi, a popular actress in Japan, is adapted from a true story. It tells the story of Shayega, a beautiful girl with the lowest score, who was admitted to Keio University, the top five famous university in Japan, after a year of hard work.

Let’s take our school in China as an example. This is equivalent to the so-called "miracle" in which high school students rank in the bottom ten, who were destined to be admitted to Peking University after hard work.

When Spice Girl at the Bottom was released in Japan last year, it only won 300 million yen at the box office in the first week. However, due to its high reputation, the film stayed on the charts for three months, and finally the box office was close to 3 billion yen, making it the sixth in the annual box office.
After the news that the film will be introduced to China came, some insiders said, "It is suggested that all high schools organize students to watch the film, which is really like a dose of chicken blood during the preparation period."
As a small electricity who has seen the film in advance, it can be said responsibly that this film will really rekindle the fighting spirit of life for you who have no confidence in yourself. However, do you think it will be a style with the speech of the dean at the opening ceremony? That would be wrong about it!
What’s different about this movie’s inspiration?
First of all, the heroine Shayega didn’t go through some important events like the characters in our film and television works, and decided to turn over a new leaf. She wanted to take an examination of Keio University, and it was a slap in the face. She thought that "Tokyo University sounds very rustic, and Keio University sounds like a lot of handsome guys", so Ping tian teacher, who was full of confidence, made Keio University’s suggestion her goal. (Dongda lying gun)
Shayega’s knowledge only reaches the level of primary school students.
Here, let’s take a look at Keio University in Japan. This world-class university in Tokyo is a private university with the most outstanding aspects in politics, law, economy, business and medicine. In the ranking of Japanese university graduates who are most likely to become presidents of listed companies, Keio University ranks first all the year round, and CWUR ranked 34th in the world university in 2015.
When Ping tian teacher encouraged Shayejia to work hard at Qingda University, she also told her that "there are many female anchors who graduated from there, and many people married into giants after graduation."
Yuki Furukawa and Shô Sakurai also graduated from Keio University.
Secondly, Shayega in the movie, despite his efforts to stay up late studying for his own goals, has two plots that should not be photographed in China’s movies:
As a result of studying in Zhisheng High School, Shayega has never studied from the first grade to the high school, and has a carefree eating, drinking and having fun with several friends all day. After deciding to start working hard for Keio University, although she studied hard every day, she didn’t stop eating and singing K with her friends. She took time out to do problems while singing in KTV, and recited English words on her bicycle when she got home from a party with her friends until her best friend said, "We won’t play with you until you are admitted to the university. We sincerely hope that you can be admitted."
Seeing her playing against time with her friends to study, the impact force is actually greater than seeing her sitting at her desk all day studying hard, especially seeing her riding a bicycle and reciting "she her her hers" on her way home in the rising morning light. This scene is the most people want to put down her mobile phone and return to the long-neglected study.
Shayega endorsed by bicycle.
The friendship that doesn’t seem to be the main theme in this movie is also the most powerful proof in the sentence "We won’t play with you anymore". A friend is not a person who is happy to eat with you every day. A friend really understands what you need and then gives you the most appropriate help.
There is also a plot, that is, Shayega can’t help sleeping in the school class because of the rapid progress of his homework in the private school outside the school and staying up late to study every day. When the teacher, who always disliked her, invited her mother to school, her mother not only did not say that she would be strictly disciplined, but also told the teacher that Shayega had too much to cram and studied for a long time every day. "If you don’t sleep in class, when will this child sleep?" How many domestic movies do parents ask teachers to allow students to sleep in class?
Shayega’s mother supported her wholeheartedly from the beginning.
And the core figures of this film, besides the No.1 female, Shayega, the spice girl at the bottom, and Ping tian teacher who helped her create miracles. This private school (cram school) teacher can also be said to be a kind of unsuccessful person in society. But he always sincerely believes that these "waste wood" students in the eyes of others have the greatest potential. Even if the spice girl gets 0, he will praise her for finishing the paper, which shows that her attitude is not bad. In the end, the heroine said, "I also want to be that kind of person, a person who works hard for the future of others." After watching this movie, I believe all the students who are still at school expect to meet a teacher like Hirata.
In Ping tian teacher’s eyes, no student is a waste.
As this is an adaptation of a true story, everyone knows that Shayega finally got into Keio University as she wished. After her dream came true, the film was handled with humor and warmth.
I bet with her that if she could be admitted to Keio University, the male teacher streaking on campus was photographed like this.
Realizing her goal and growing up under the influence of Ping tian teacher and her mother, she finally eased the relationship with her father.
This movie can give people direct inspiration, but it is not a bowl of inspirational chicken soup, or it is a stimulant with no side effects and lasting efficacy, which will be more appropriate.
Unfortunately, few Chinese films in recent years can do it.
I thought it would make people excited. A Xin, trying to reach the boiling point quickly with a dry phrase "chase after dreams", fell into the bloody and shocking plot.

Adapted from the blind pianist Huang Yuxiang’s true story, Flying Against the Light makes people feel a little warm, but the tone is too small and fresh, but it is on the verge of being reduced to a music video.

As for mainland inspirational films, I don’t know what the goal of inspirational is after watching them, and become CEO. Marry Bai fumei? Reach the peak of life? Anyway, not all the protagonists in "Chinese Partner" have succeeded in the end.

It is a pity that the box office of movies is far less than that of China’s booming Japan, but I know very well what kind of stories can be called "inspirational" in the world of young people; And what kind of ending can "inspirational" lead to?
