Just like the most direct perception of most viewers, "Future Summer" shows distinctive characteristics of the times. Whether it is the setting of Zheng Yuxing himself as a campus internet celebrity, or the use of short videos to explain and advance the plot, they all reflect the reshaping of campus life by the mobile Internet.
Social media is not a fleeting presence in the film, but plays an important role in promoting the plot. WeChat, Douyin and other modern social media are present in several important plot twists.

This is the second time director Chen Zhengdao has shot a youth film since "Summer Light Years" in 2006, but "Summer Future" is not just a youth film. The movie is also an excellent author's movie, presenting the growth mood of the Internet generation in the most delicate and sincere way.
Although each generation has its own unique memories of youth, the reason why youth movies can continue to arouse the emotional resonance of audiences of different eras is because they all express the same theme. That is, on the eve of entering the adult world, learn to love and be loved, bravely identify and accept yourself, and learn to tolerate loneliness. This is also the theme that Chen Zhengdao has been trying to express since "Summer Light Years".
