You may ask, do we still see less of the love stories of modern people? Yes, there are very few classics.
There are only a few things that can be said, such as "The First Half of My Life", falling in love after losing marriage, the love card battle of mature girlfriends, the choice between love and bread... It is said that it has contributed a freshness and small romance of modern people to talk about love for the public.
Recently, Ma Yili and Wu Yue, the main actors of "The First Half of My Life", "clashed" again, this time they joined hands with Xu Zheng, Ni Hongjie, Zhou Yemang and others to fill the ritual sense of modern people bravely talking about love, bringing a new love movie "Love Myth".
This film completely subverts the previous "routine" love sweet pet drama or "chicken feathers in a place" emotional pain literature, but from the perspective of a mature "love revolution", it shows the "love picture book" of modern people.
Two men and three women compose "Modern Love Illustrated Book"
Before the final trailer of the movie was exposed, the author had already brushed the clips of this film on the short video platform, and several character images had been set off in just ten seconds.
Miss Li (Ma Yili) lives a single life with her daughter, Bei Bei (Wu Yue) is keen to dance tango after divorce, Gloria (Ni Hongjie) has money and leisure, her husband "disappears", and three women with very different styles intersect because of Lao Bai (Xu Zheng).
Lao Bai is an ordinary Shanghai "uncle", teaching the elderly to draw, he has a good friend Lao Wu (Zhou Ye Mang) to talk funny, and does not give up chasing romantic steps in his life.
After a few meals, one after another, the living room of the old White family became a meeting point for everyone. Those golden quotes about the philosophy of life, about the emo that contemporary mature women will have anytime and anywhere, about the mature emotions that have experienced the vicissitudes of the sea or choose to love, push and pull among these people.
In the final trailer of "Life Full Open Wheat" released by "Love Myth" yesterday, it shows the emotional confrontation of these people more deeply, and the ambiguous measure contains the modern emotional attitude and self-deprecation and self-consistency in life.
The final trailer begins with a witty scene: Lao Bai is strictly worded and corrects Miss Li's daughter, and his pursuit of Miss Li should be "visiting the door"... This picture is already unbearable, making us full of curiosity about Lao Bai, a cute and ordinary Shanghai man.
And Miss Li, Lao Bai's crush, freely controls the intimate scale with Lao Bai, pulling herself in the process of not being willing to be in love with expectations; her ex-wife Bei Bei is brutally and innocently preaching her emotional logic; the red-faced Gloria dashingly and charmingly "warns" Lao Bai not to fall in love with herself; and all of this is ruthlessly pointed out by Lao Bai's confidant Lao Wu that it is just "not very refreshing brain".
And mature as the old white, even if you have seen the vicissitudes of the sea after reading thousands of sails, when love comes, you still have to comfort yourself: in the face of feelings, you still have to hold the mentality of "living to be old and learning from the old", learn from women, learn from the past, and learn the philosophy of emotion from the little cobbler on the street (Ning Li).
Of course, in addition to the concept of love, "Love Myth" also discusses some popular social phenomena, such as how to look at the living conditions of contemporary artists, how to evaluate "Ma Bao Male", and some insights on death, which arouses our thinking.
Xu Zheng Ma Yili led the performance of "Shanghai Friends"
The good strength of the actors is another major advantage of "Love Myth". I have to admire this young post-90s female director, the choice of the three heroines is inevitably too precise! Ma Yili, Wu Yue, ni Hongjie, they are themselves representatives of independent women in the show business circle.
Ma Yili and Wu Yue created extremely impressive female characters in "The First Half of My Life" and won the Magnolia Award. In recent years, Ni Hongjie has also accumulated many breakthrough performance attempts in word-of-mouth masterpieces such as "Over Spring" and "Skyscraper".
Ma Yili once said that what impressed her about "Love Myth" was that several protagonists had their own problems and practical difficulties in life. But even so, they are still very positive, a feeling of vitality.
Wu Yue believes that the script is written with great humor, and an ordinary play about Shanghainese feels like the story of a group of people living around him.
Ni Hongjie sighed that she could see their past youth and the life they longed for from the eyes of the vivid characters in the script. With the heavy acting skills of the three "big green clothes", the actors and the role images are highly compatible, which will inevitably gain the unanimous favor of male and female audiences.
Some insiders commented that "Love Myth" is a new type of love film with "heavy characters and light events", of course, "heavy characters" In addition to the three heroines, the "axis" lao bai that connects them is the most important choice, and he is the absolute core of the five-person relationship.
Lao Bai, played by Xu Zheng, each relationship is very delicate. In front of three independent women with a completely different view of love, he is sometimes a middle-aged man with a bland and trivial life, who once thought that he no longer needed to be accompanied; sometimes he is an impulsive boy who has seen all kinds of life and is still willing to jump into love; sometimes he is a roundabout temptation in love and truly interprets "men are teenagers" in love...
In addition to Lao Bai's relationship with the three women, it is also interesting to have his relationship with "Old Iron" Zhou Ye Mang, who prides himself on being a "love saint" and gives advice behind Lao Bai like a military master, and his own emotional problems are also cut and messed up.
Talking about why he became the producer and star of "Love Myth", Xu Zheng replied: "I think it is rare to encounter a play with such a real quality of life. It has a lot of life details and life scenes, and it is very close to the urban temperament. ”
Among the main creators of the two men and three women, Xu Zheng, Ma Yili, Wu Yue and Zhou Yemang all graduated from the Shanghai Theater Academy, and these four people are also authentic Shanghainese; Ni Hongjie, whose hometown is in Jiangsu and graduated from Tongji University, is also "half a Shanghainese", and this group of old friends interpreting a "Shanghai love story" can be described as a master.
The unique sense of humor and freshness created by the Shanghai dialogue also adds a sense of real market and fireworks to the gorgeous oriental magic capital, making people feel full of "small luck in the world".
It has the style of a mature woman
There are also voices of independent women
There is such a group drama clip on the short video platform that is the most impressive-
Bebe: "It is incomplete for a woman to have no children in her life. ”
Gloria: "What a liar! It is incomplete for a woman not to dump a hundred men in her life. ”
Miss Li: "It is incomplete for a woman not to earn a million in her life." ”
Gloria: "It's incomplete for a woman not to live for herself in her life." ”
Miss Li: "It is incomplete for a woman who has not wandered the world in her life." ”
This clip scene received 1.33 million+ likes on Douyin, and the fresh outlook on life and blunt lines of adult women triggered a wave of comments - "The lines are so dare to say, I want to see some real female protagonists." "Wu Nong's soft-spoken mood is very enjoyable with the greeting and sending between the characters."
In fact, there are many scenes like this with refined dialogue and comfortable confrontation in "Love Myth". In particular, the expression of the adult women's concept of love and outlook on life in the film breaks the solidified cognition that mature women must be virtuous wives and mothers.
The portrayal of the three female characters in "Love Myth" fits the trend of the times of the rise of independent women, but it does not deliberately amplify the light and power of independent women, everything comes from life, true and free.
For these precisely transmitted female expressions in the film, Shao Yihui, as a screenwriter and director, gave a unique answer: "Because modern women are more and more aware of their own and inner comfort, I also want to convey a more free and free attitude towards life in the film, which is an emotional resonance that I look forward to in the end of this film." ”
Shao Yihui, who has lived in Shanghai for six or seven years, believes that Shanghai's inclusiveness and modernity can allow different people to live with dignity and dignity. This difference, this decency, is more reflected in each character, a large number of life-like charm details in the film, are the results of the daily delicate exploration of the main creative team.
Female audiences have always been the main force of the film market, and "Love Myth" uses light brushstrokes to match the actors' life flowing performances, making a valuable voice for independent women in this era.
"Love Myth" this movie, rare, let us carefully taste the plot, can get emotional sublimation, I believe that whether you go with your lover to see, girlfriend to see, or even with parents or children to see, you can get a different kind of touch.
At present, "Love Myth" has officially opened pre-sale on the Taobao ticket and cat's eye platform, and if you want to punch your lover or girlfriend with your lover or girlfriend on December 24, you may wish to book this romance in advance to avoid missing it!
