In 2005, the mainland also released a very good movie, which is a romantic comedy film - "Waiting Alone", starring Xia Yu, the youngest Venice Film Festival film emperor in history, Li Bingbing, an actress who was very popular in the mainland at that time, and Gong Beiyuan, a well-known actress.
On the surface, this "Waiting Alone" seems to be a comedy and a farce, because the play is full of funny scenes of gags, including some actors' dialogue paragraphs are also very interesting and classic, suitable for people of all ages.
In fact, while this film brings laughter to the audience, it is also a rather serious discussion of the love and marriage concept of urban young men and women, as well as the subtle psychology of facing the opposite sex and emotions.
This movie seems to have so many characters, in fact, the whole movie revolves around the interrelationship between Chen Wen, Liu Rong, and Li Jing.
Let's start with the male protagonist, Chen Wen, played by Xia Yu.
Chen Wen is an urban youth full of romantic ideas, and he also has some literary and artistic feelings, so he has a perfect state of his own conception for his love and other half. From beginning to end, Chen Wen is looking for his lover according to his own state. Chen Wen has always turned a blind eye to the thoughts that his friend's sister, Li Jing, intentionally or unintentionally revealed to himself. Until one day, he met the girl he thought was perfect- Liu Rong, played by Li Bingbing. The director deliberately used popular names such as Chen Wen and Liu Rong, perhaps to make the audience feel that the content presented in the film is happening all around us.
As the online passage says, good-looking skin bags abound, but interesting souls are rare. Chen Wen is a big boy full of interesting souls.
Most of the young people with romantic feelings like Chen Wen are temperamental people, and once they meet the object of their choice, they will pursue it desperately.
When he met Liu Rong, Chen Wen's whole person became excited and desperately pursued Liu Rong, and the state he showed was no different from what we usually call "licking the dog" today. In particular, Chen Wen showed fidgeting when waiting for Liu Rong's phone call, and after answering the phone with Liu Rong, he wanted to talk and stopped.
What "licking dog" hasn't experienced this?
When a man pays his heart, dignity and IQ will all go offline.
Later, perhaps it was his sincerity and sincerity that touched Liu Rong little by little, just when Chen Wen thought that Liu Rong really accepted himself, he suddenly saw Liu Rong with another BMW man on the street.
In an instant, Chen Wen knew that he was just a spare tire for Liu Rong.
After experiencing a painful struggle, Chen Wen gradually walked out of the shadow brought to him by Liu Rong, so that when Liu Rong took the initiative to come to the store to reunite with him, Chen Wen was still able to calmly reject her.
This is also a shining point of Chen Wen's romantic feelings - in the world of love, you can make yourself able to hold and put down.
Chen Wen continued to wait for his expectations in his small shop, and continued to wait for the perfect love that belonged to him.
In other words, Chen Wen guarded his "interesting souls" and did not let them dissipate at will.
Let's start with the heroine, Liu Rong, played by Li Bingbing.
Personally, I think that although Xia Yu is the emperor of the film, he is not in place for Chen Wen's role, too contrived when pursuing Liu Rong, and too rational after the death of love.
On the contrary, Li Bingbing showed Liu Rong, the heroine's heart, subtlety, and deep concealment, and even said that it was a little bit of the city government.
Does Liu Rong like Chen Wen or not? Maybe it's really like she said in the film, she likes Chen Wen just a little, likes Chen Wen's fun, enthusiasm, and likes his talent.
However, don't forget. Liu Rong's profession is an actor, an actor who has not yet become famous and aspires to fame.
In addition to needing idealized love and an interesting soul to accompany her, she also needs resources, resources that can help her succeed. Chen Wen's advantages, BMW men may not necessarily have, but BMW men have the resources, Chen Wen certainly does not have.
In the era when the film was broadcast, there was no such thing as "raising a spare tire" in the mainland. And Liu Rong's thoughts are actually the girl's "spare tire" psychology.
Liu Rong is just a small actor who has just started her acting career, and she has not yet completely secularized and materialized. She was not willing to refuse the fun and enthusiasm that Chen Wen could bring her, so she did not reject the interaction with Chen Wen.
A very impressive bridge section is that Chen Wen called Liu Rong at night, and after the phone was connected, Liu Rong's words made Chen Wen's fiery heart drop to the freezing point: "Which one are you?" ”
What Chen Wen couldn't imagine was that Liu Rong was deliberately snubbing him, or that he wanted Chen Wen to know that you weren't even qualified to be me a spare tire.
Liu Rong, who is an actor, is undoubtedly reading countless people, and for Chen Wen, a stunned and a little silly young man, it is natural to pinch their little thoughts.
When her interaction with the BMW man was broken by Chen Wen, in the face of Chen Wen's chagrin, Liu Rong also blamed him for making unreasonable trouble, and as everyone knew, she had completely broken Chen Wen's heart.
Later, when Liu Rong discovered that the interesting soul that Chen Wen possessed was really a precious quality, she tried to save her contact with Chen Wen, but Chen Wen had completely passed her off.
So after missing Chen Wen, will Liu Rong cherish the next Chen Wen she meets even more? Or will it become more realistic and materialistic?
Finally, start with Li Jing, played by Gong Beiyuan.
Gong Beiyuan is a little sister who has lived next to Chen Wen since she was a child, dressed in a trendy dress, and hides her love for Chen Wen's big brother very deeply, so that even she is unwilling to admit her feelings for Chen Wen.
As mentioned earlier, Chen Wen is a young man with an interesting soul, and Liu Rong did not appreciate and cherish him at first. Gong Beiyuan knew how to appreciate Chen Wen, and had always secretly liked him and was willing to help him do anything.
So did Chen Wen really get Gong Beiyuan's affection for himself?
I think he's always been very clear in his heart, but he just keeps pretending to turn a blind eye.
As Zhang Shaohan sang in "Dear That's Not Love":
"It's like the elves live in the wrong forest,
That love is wrong and transparent. ”
In Chen Wen's view, Li Jing's feelings for herself are a beautiful mistake.
Therefore, Chen Wen would rather be alone than continue to undertake such an originally wrong feeling.
When we dissect the film from the perspective of the three protagonists of the film, we will find that "Waiting Alone" shows us the complex and delicate relationships and psychology in the world of love through a seemingly simple love triangle.
Although it is a commercial film, the creators can contain so many things in the film, and it is indeed a good work that is popular and acclaimed.
