In recent weeks, with the release of movies such as Manslaughter 2 and Lion Boy, the Lunar New Year Party has finally entered a white-hot stage. At this time, there is a romantic comedy with a very unique temperament to join the fight of the New Year file, and this movie is the unique temperament of the love myth movie. In the thirty-second trailer set in front of the island, it can be seen that the movie is full of a large number of appeal lines. The joking dialogue between middle-aged people and children, as well as the end of the drama of life, reveal the fireworks that belong to the unique temperament of the magic capital. In a word, the myth of love is a film that is deeply bound to the city of Shanghai.
Set in Shanghai, the film focuses on a man and three women living in the city and their respective circumstances. A large number of dialect dialogues in the film will belong to the city's cultural heritage and unique temperament to highlight the undoubtedly In order to better restore the atmosphere of old Shanghai, the love myth is to invite the whole Shanghai team. The male protagonist in the film plays Shanghai's uncle Lao Bai, who is born and raised in Shanghai. In this film, he not only starred, but also served as the supervising producer of the film, providing the film with a large number of details of life with local characteristics. In the film, three female characters with very different personalities and different styles were invited to play Ma Yili, Wu Fan and Ni Hongjie, of which Ma Yili and Wu Yue were also born in Shanghai, and the two Xu Zheng were the only non-Shanghai non-Shanghai non-opera graduates of the Shanghai Theater Academy, and Ni Hongjie also graduated from Tongji University and had many years of life experience in Shanghai.
This team can be said to be the team building of the play, but for the audience, the team building of the play is just one of the highlights. More importantly, this group of local actors who grew up in wuhe area understands the fashion avant-garde and tolerance of why Shanghai is called the magic capital, and better understands the city's streets and alleys, and the cold and warm fireworks inside and outside the alleys. And this point coincides with what the post-90s newcomer director Shao Yihui tried to express through the film's directorial Virgo. Unlike the cast built by the troupe, director Shao Yihui graduated from the Beijing Film Academy, and his knowledge of Shanghai comes from the six or seven years he once lived in the city. In his eyes, the city of Shanghai is both modern and inclusive, allowing human dignity to live. His love for the city has all been transformed into those very life-like details in the script, which is full of the delicacy of female creators, and also touched Xu Zheng and all the main creators for the first time.
Generally speaking, our rookie directors often choose to express themselves or the stories around them when shooting long-form Virgos. But as a cutting-edge filmmaker, Shao Yihui boldly used the Shanghai team and filmed the Shanghai story. As a post-90s generation, his first work even chose to tell the love story of middle-aged people. In this story, Lao Bai is a typical Shanghai uncle who calls himself a miscellaneous family and specializes in teaching the elderly to draw. Under the basic coincidence, Lao Bai's life and the three women have an unexpected intersection. Miss Li is a typical Shanghainese woman, living a single life with her daughter, and her self-requirements and gender relations are very high. Lao Bai's ex-wife, Babe, always lives in a world she has created, believing that after divorce, her husband still belongs to herself and easily confuses love and affection. Gloria is a rich and idle husband, a missing rich woman, and her daily life is always full of freedom. Of the three female characters, she is a woman who dares to love and hate.
It is also the most yearning for freedom, in a word to describe Miss Li is a piece of ice shellfish, is a cup of warm boiling water. Gloria is a fire. The three female characters interpret three completely different beauties, and of course they have something in common. People reach middle age, are financially independent, and have their own code of conduct and life code. All three women appeared in Lao Bai's life overnight. The love life of a man and three women can be imagined how wonderful it will be. Of course, this is still not the biggest theme of the movie Love Myth. Although the movie plays the slogan of love no matter how old it is, in the trailer, it also does its best to show the beautiful affairs of Lao Bai mediating between the three women. But the real story that love myths want to tell unfolds between the three female characters, Miss Lee Bebe and Gloria. In the film, they have their own lives, problems and dilemmas that they need to face. Despite this, they still face positively and optimistically, face the daily patience and meticulousness of chai rice oil and salt, and dare to pursue in the face of sudden love, not afraid of failure.
In the words of the lead actor Ma Yili, they are all very vital people, and the exuberant vitality of this person to middle age may be the spiritual belief that the love myth tries to convey. At first, the three women will have some misunderstandings and hostility around Lao Bai, but once they no longer care about this man, the contradictions between the three women will disappear, and even a happy sisterhood will be born. Just like the stills of the movie, Miss Li and Gloria, who were originally lovers, sat on the ends of the table with words on the round table. Not only can you negotiate, but you can also appreciate the love, marriage, and friendship interpreted by the three female characters, which is the real highlight of this haipai drama. This is also the love that director Shao Yihui wants to express, which is a very interesting proposition. In the love of middle-aged people, it feels that love is not so important, but there are many parts of love, and even sometimes friendship is more important than love. Of course, for love, for age, everyone will have their own understanding.
The story told by the love myth will be different after different people see it. In the last week of 2021, it is better to take advantage of the release of this movie and ask the people who want to meet to see the middle-aged love of this Shanghai well.
