Last Friday, due to the temporary withdrawal of "Assassination Storm", the urban romance film "We Who Once Loved Each Other" starring Chen Bailin and Guo Caijie became the "main force", but the performance of the film has nothing to do with the main force, whether it is the schedule and the box office, it cannot shake "Antiques Bureau Central Bureau" and "Fame and Fame", which has been released for more than a month. The reputation of the film is even more defeated, and the evaluation of a netizen is to the point: this movie is drunk from the beginning to the end, and I am almost "drunk" to see it. The character performance is too thin, and there is no narrative of any plot, creating a character without vitality.
Nightclubs are a small society with a mix of fish and dragons. If the nightclub culture and human sophistication can be portrayed deeply, the story will also be very interesting, but "We Who Once Loved Each Other" does not do this. The previous film introduction introduced the story as follows: The film tells the story of young men and women represented by Alan (Chen Bailin) and Meng Jie (Guo Caijie), who struggle and fall in love in the big city. After watching the movie, I found that the creators were afraid that they misunderstood the meaning of the word "struggle", and the screenwriter was obviously a person who grew up in a honeypot, and his so-called "struggle", that is, he had been drinking in the bar, so he had the evaluation of the audience above.
Many of the plots of the film are familiar, such as the misunderstanding between Alan and Mengjie, which is caused by the text on the mobile phone screen, and such a plot design is really too old-fashioned. At the end of the film, when Alan found out that he had misunderstood Mengjie, the picture of chasing all the way to the airport appeared on the screen countless times, and the screenwriter obviously did not want to spend more brain power, simply copying it.
Xiao Ai, played by Xiahou Yunshan, is even more inexplicable. Because Xiao Ai broke up with her boyfriend, she came to the nightclub every night, sat in the ex-boyfriend's favorite position, drank the ex-boyfriend's favorite wine, and drank herself to pieces. Not to mention that there are still girls who are so obsessed, even if there is, they must make the story behind it convincing. But the movie is constantly appearing xiao ai drinking pictures, only to the end, only to briefly explain the ex-boyfriend, the original xiao ai's affectionate wrong payment. The plot design is too superficial and sloppy, and the inner world of the characters cannot go deeper, the main reason is that the creator's observation of life is not meticulous and profound enough.
The singer Shang Jin played by Wei Tour is a rare character in the film who has a little connection with "struggle", and the film also shoots the friendship and mutual encouragement between him and Lei Zi, but the film does not make Shang Jin's music wonderful, and simply adding a rap style to the song can make him stand out on the stage, which seems to be too relaxed. Shang Jin's story also does not match the style of Alan, Mengjie, and Xiao Ai's story, and seems to be specially inserted for the word "struggle".
The only thing that impresses people is the very abrupt title and the subtitles of the creators at the beginning of the film, because the font covers the screen, which catches people off guard. Overall, this is a novice director's practice work, from the film shown in the director's skills, in the future to be able to eat the director's bowl of rice, it is not small.
