Is this scumbag line that comes from the mouth familiar?
Now it's up to a woman to say it.
Is this suffocating motto of life familiar?
A new version is now available:
It has been a long time since I have seen such a domestic love movie that keeps pace with the times. From "Love Myth" just appeared some time ago. After reading it, I just want to sigh, old spirit forehead.
Some people use the middle-aged version of "three women grab a man" to summarize this movie, Xu Zheng played Lao Bai is the male protagonist, the three women are Miss Li (the woman that Lao Bai likes) played by Ma Yili, Gloria played by Ni Hongjie (Lao Bai's student), and Bei Bei played by Wu Yue (Lao Bai's ex-wife),
Doesn't it feel like there must be a lot of dog blood scenes?
Not a single one. There is no female competition, no tearing flowers from each other, and even the love enemies who are widely circulated on the Internet eat on the same stage to cultivate the scene, and there is no scene of red wine and rotten smell like "Little Times".
On the contrary, the small mouths of several women are mixed with alcohol, and they are full of energy.
When watching the movie, I heard the boy next to me ask his girlfriend, what does this movie want to express? At the end of the scene, another man in the front row sighed: I was actually watching a group of middle-aged people fall in love.
I like that it doesn't deliberately want to express anything, it doesn't want to tell any chicken flying dog jump or Mary Sue love story, you can't even say what it is talking about, it is a natural middle-aged life, gently flicking, hitting hard.
What about love? Love is buried in life, faintly. Because in the interaction of middle-aged people, there are really not too many male and female complaints, more is the degree of attack and defense and cold and warm self-knowledge. Going too fast can scare timid middle-aged people.
There is no label on every man and woman, no bitter vendetta, no age anxiety, no problems to be solved, no one to save anyone, just living and living.
And these middle-aged people, not only understand life, most of them also pay attention to tidying up, dressed up or flamboyant or exquisite, live happily.
In front of these shining middle-aged people, Huang Minghao and Wang Yinglu, who are dressed in simple clothes, instantly become dull and dull...
Engage in fashionable middle-aged man True Wild
Ni Hongjie
A fire in winter
The first thing to talk about is naturally my favorite - Gloria played by Ni Hongjie, who wrote a famous quote as soon as she appeared:
But I think Ni Hongjie herself, don't be too spiritual! Completely played the cuteness and eccentricity of Shanghai women! How can someone be so pompous, so clever, so clever, so hooky, but not annoying at all!
She's like a dangerous wildcat in her mouth, and she likes to scratch you a few times and make you unable to catch her. Wipe your mouth when you're done eating and run.
And if you look at her clothes, you can also feel how free-spirited and pompous and dangerous this woman is...
To go to a funeral, you have to dress up like a sexy killer.
The director revealed that in order to portray gloria's heat and vitality, the characters' clothes are mainly yellow and orange.
Hot enough to look like packing the whole of Lijiang, although living in the metropolis every day, but every day to go on vacation... To be honest, several sets of styling I think if it is not Ni Hongjie to wear, it must be finished.
In particular, this printed long dress that looks for young fresh meat to sing K open the ladder is called a dazzling, but with her wavy rolls, it is like a fire in winter.
How can someone wear such a cheesy dress so brightly and stylishly?
This romantic bohemian long skirt + ripped denim jacket is a set that many people think she is very beautiful, which is fully in line with her "uninhibited indulgence and love of freedom" characteristics.
And the cool color system just neutralizes her own brilliance, making the whole person look clear and agile.
Ni Hongjie herself shared in Vlog that Gloria's dress also has a very distinctive feature, that is, the accessories are very large and fried, and the design is quite exaggerated.
Earrings in the shape of her pair of knives and forks made the straight man Lao Bai, played by Xu Zheng, look very shocked.
In the play, Gloria also tried the crazy way of "big necklace + printed skirt". Yu Bo felt that this was really only she could hold, and put it on others, that is, the national dance teacher.
If the guest officers usually want to wear large necklaces, it is best to use monochrome clothes to make the shape clear.
And wear a printed skirt, if you want to be not dirty, or choose small flowers, the color saturation is low, especially the bottom color is a light color. Skirt length can be above the knee, wrap type, milker's parallel neckline can be.
Ma Yili
Also wear Jimmy Choo downhill
Ma Yili can be said to be the fashionable responsibility of the whole movie, I have a girl friend said, countless times in the process of watching the movie, she can't help but sigh, how beautiful. I really want to ask her for a link.
She played Miss Li, an advertiser, in her 40s, married to a foreigner, although she walked down the slope of her life after divorce, and took her daughter to live in a depressed attic, but still insisted on arming herself with great dignity.
As soon as it appears, the shoes are the legendary Jimmy Choo that a woman must have a pair of in her life, or the explosive Agnes, or the intricate and exquisite lace model.
It can be said that whether it was before or now, Ma Yili's love for Jimmy Choo has not changed.
Fragment of "The First Half of My Life"
Those chicken feathers of life did not seem to prevent her from enjoying life, and in Miss Li's world, even if it was downhill, she had to walk sexily.
Not to mention that she is a literary and artistic person who likes dramas and exhibitions in her bones, so she likes to dress up, but also pays attention to texture, and prefers shirts, sweaters and coats with simple design and no lack of details.
The color system is also a high-grade blue purple system, and I like to wear it in a set of colors, which is very suitable for urban beauties who want to improve their temperament.
Many of these items are from the national model Lu Yan's eponymous brand Compe Moi, she herself is a supermodel, reading countless clothes, not only understand what high-end clothes are like, but also understand the inner needs of women who want to become strong and independent.
Therefore, the design is simple and advanced, and modern and elegant, the key is to wear very solid.
But Miss Li is not always dressed up so kochi cold, many times to see lao bai, will dress more gently. Or with a ruffled shirt, or simply full body powder, both the playfulness of a girl and the charm of a mature woman.
Later, he became acquainted with Gloria, and was also pulled into the printed girl group, and the whole person opened himself from cold to hot... (Although I still prefer Miss Lee above!)
Wu Yue
The mouth is stronger than the clothes
Wu Yue's old White ex-wife Bei Bei, who has the attributes of Shanghai women's arrogance and strength, contributed famous sentences at that Shuluo field dinner:
Although the rhetoric is sharp, it is more conservative in terms of dress, basically a combination of polka dot shirts + cropped pants, like a well-behaved class teacher in school.
The only thing that is more interesting is a set of red qipao looks that you change into when you go to tango, which is graceful and luxurious.
Zhou Ye Mang
Even girls can learn his silk scarf matching method
Although the discussion on the shape on the Internet now basically focuses on these three female characters, I think that the old Wu played by Zhou Yemang is not at all fashionable and does not lose Ma Yili.
When he was young, he studied in Paris, had no children and no daughters, and chased romance, so he did not look at the dull unclely dress, but pursued refinement and foreign style.
Like a striped shirt, I like to use silk scarves to match ah, very traditional impression of the French.
The same is wearing a denim shirt, you can see how many levels higher the old Ubi uncle dressed up old white. Lao Wu knows how to tie his shirt into it to raise his waist line, and he will also tie a swaggering silk scarf to perfectly balance the wind of the hottest woman at the moment.
This kind of silk scarf matching method, even girls can learn, not too modern!
And Lao Wu also follows the trend, and there are often very disturbing clothes on his body. For example, Cai Xukun and Jing Bairan love to wear flower shirts + suits, and I feel that I can go to "Trend Partner" at any time to make a cameo.
I didn't expect Shanghai to be so pyrotechnic
In addition to the plot, clothes, and those nice BGM, I like "Love Myth", but also in it, very Shanghai.
Most modern plays set in Shanghai focus on the city's prosperity, grandeur and busyness.
But "Love Myth" is different, it portrays a shanghai that is exquisite and urban.
You will see the rich and idle old white to go to the temporary supermarket to sweep goods, Miss Li's feet jimmy Choo shuttle through the old alley, all of which is particularly real and has a special temperature.
Director Shao Yihui said that when she wrote the script of "Love Myth", she subconsciously thought of the public life of Shanghai with strong fireworks. Scenes that don't look very tall, such as tango bars, wet markets and shoe repair stalls that appear in the play, are actually the director's own usual visits.
The cafés in the movie are also very Shanghainese. The director said that cafes in other places are basically confined spaces, while those in Shanghai are semi-open, and everyone can sit outside leisurely, and it seems that passers-by can even lead dogs.
The location is familiar to me. Basically concentrated in the "Julu Road, Fumin Road and Changle Road" area composed of Julu Road, Fumin Road and Changle Road, it is actually an "old internet red land" in the hearts of Shanghainese. There are many old buildings scattered in the quiet, Chinese and Western styles coexist, and when the weather is good, it is comfortable to walk on the road.
When I watched the movie, I still wanted to eat the rice made by Lao Bai, watch him rejoice and make osmanthus sugar lotus, buy butterfly crisp, and prepare snacks, all of which were a kind of enjoyment.
Because although he doesn't look trim, he can actually live. And love to do housework. In fact, it is also a feature of Shanghai men.
Shanghai writer Jin Yucheng once wrote, "Only a man in Shanghai in all of China can greet the dusk, carry the duck bought from the farmers of northern Jiangsu in the vegetable market, crouch at the entrance of the alley, pull out the duck feathers with a tweezer knife, and prepare dinner before the twilight four." The director also said in the interview that when he went to the vegetable market, it was basically all men buying vegetables.
In order to fill the Shanghai flavor, the actors in it are basically authentic Shanghainese, and the whole film is basically speaking Shanghainese.
Although some people think this is very strange, I think, on the contrary, I think, huh. After reading what to describe, I want to use it: Spiritual!
Seeing this, it is estimated that some guest officials will want to ask: Since this drama focuses on real life, why should it take the name of "Love Myth"?
Director Shao Yihui said that he just wanted to have a sense of contrast, "The whole film, from the story to the characters, is a very urban, very plain, very life flowing feeling, so, called 'love myth', there is a strong contrast." ”
Yes, not everyone can become a myth, Miss Lee, Gloria and Bebe, in fact, are not so mythical beings, nor are they models of perfect women.
Everyone has their own chicken feathers, but you will still yearn for their state and no longer be afraid of becoming middle-aged.
Because as the director said, "These women, even if their fate is drifting, can enjoy themselves, can make waves, but never drag mud and water." ”
