This felt like the younger version of the series, but the movie was nothing compared to it, although it had many bits that were exactly the same. The boys and girls who were the friends of the protagonists have basically no role here, they're just in the background to show that they exist, but they don't really matter.
Since a movie is much shorter than the series, obviously, many things had to be eliminated, so they cut completely the roles of Nana and Zhen.
The actors are all different ( I think, actually the one playing Cao Guang looked like him, but am not sure). The actress playing Bei Wei Wei was not bad, I liked her, but both her and her friends looked so young, maybe this version was based in high school and not in a university? I don't know :-/
The only thing that was better here, is that Xiao Nai approached her when they first met, which makes sense since he knew who she was but she didn't, and is much nicer.
Details:
It starts with Wei Wei playing the game, and when the power goes out she rushes out on her bike to get to the nearest internet café and keep playing there, with lots of others doing exactly the same, although it's dark already outside.
When pictures of her coming out of a BMW get online, she openly confronts him in his class, showing how easy it is to misinterpret things. He's studying journalism apparently, and she exposes his lie and bad views of the world..
Xiao Nai is the school genius. Yiran stops him on the street to tell him that she likes him and invite him to see her performing, but he refuses.
In the game, her partner Zhen Shui Wu Xiang left her to marry Xiaoyu YaoYao, and after the wedding Yi Xiao Nai He asks her to marry him and he plans a big ceremony (which was really too long, it was boring).
Cao Guang asks her out - in a rather annoying way, in my opinion - but she says that she wants someone from her computer science department, and she tells him that she likes Xiao Nai, and he hears her because after hearing that he was asking her out had come straight to see what was happening.
Wei Wei knows Ko from the internet café, who got married in the game but then she disappeared.
Wei Wei is tricked, probably by YaoYao, into now showing up for a big battle, and then she's accused of being a traitor handing their boss over to Nai He's team, so she leaves her guild.
When Nai He hears about it he challenges Zhen Shui, who is Cao Guang in real life, and of course Nai He wins and then courts her.
They schedule a final fight for couples together, but he doesn't show up so they lose, but then his friends tells her that he had an accident but is ok now. Nai He asks her to meet so she goes out to buy a new dress, then runs to meet him on a bridge. He approaches her saying he was waiting for her, then takes her for a ride on his bicycle to go to the basketball game, stopping only to buy some snacks.
Yiran is very rude, but she leaves when Xiao Nai sits beside Wei Wei.
The next day he tells her that he knew all along who she was, when he asked her to partner up in the game, because he was the one she passed when she ran to the internet café that night, and he went in to see her play.
He takes her to visit his company (a bit messy but ok) which is full of games, and they hug.
When the guild leaders get married, there's a guild reunion and she's invited too. Cao sees her with Xiao Nai and YaoYao insults her, so he can say that he doesn't care as long as she wants to be with him...
At a business meeting, Xiao Nai and his friends find out that the big company copied their game.
Wei Wei goes home for the New Year holidays, but when she goes online his friends tell her that they were tricked and that Xiao Nai is all alone at school, so they all go back to spend New Year with him.
He kisses her, and she kisses him back.
There's a very long scene with the fireworks, too long.
They play the game then they decide to simply make another game, just like that, and Ko offers to help. On tv people start talking about the demo release of their new game, which is very popular, and four years later there's the official launch of the complete game, with lots of fans already.
During the ending credits, Hao Mei talks about the game he used to play before, and Ko says that he's the one who partnered up with him...
It was all very rushed and not very involving...
