The hot search list of the first two days appeared the topic of "716 Jay Chou Day", it is said that because on July 16, 2003, 800 million people simultaneously listened to his album "Ye Huimei" in the "Name of the Father", so everyone set this day as "Jay Chou Day" to recognize his contribution to Chinese music.
I have to say that Jay Chou is indeed a musical talent, in 2000 his first album "Jay" came out as a hit, his unique musical style like a virus spread to the world, and is still sung by people orally.
However, not only music, Jay Chou also once appeared in movies, Fujiwara Takumi in "Head Character D" and Second Prince Yuanjie in "Full of Golden Armor" are all good characters.
However, the pinnacle of film work so far is not as an actor, but as his first director of the film "The Secret That Cannot Be Said" released in 2007.
Some netizens said that the most unsuccessful place for Zhou Dong as a director was that he made a movie that he could not surpass in the future.
Although the film's rating was only 6.3 at the beginning of its release, good works usually take time to precipitate, and more than a decade later, a rating of 8.0 is already the best proof of the quality of this movie. In February this year, the famous South Korean film production company Hybrid decided to remake Jay Chou's Taiwanese film in the second half of the year.
"The Secret That Cannot Be Said" is a movie directed and starred by Jay Chou, and his silly and cute performance adds a lot of color to the movie, and the feeling of Fujiwara Takumi in "Head Text D" can be faintly seen. The heroine Gui Lunmeng is also achieved in this movie, pure and beautiful and chuchu moving. Huang Qiusheng once again starred as Zhou Dong's father, and the interesting father-son relationship became a big laugh in the movie.
However, the biggest success of this film is not in its Cass lineup, director Jay Chou's gradual and inductive plot arrangement is quite in line with his cold personality, and the elaborate layout and details of the grass snake gray line reflect the meticulousness of this artistic genius.
At 100 minutes of length, the director used the first 60 minutes of meticulous preparation to achieve the climax of the last 40 minutes.
Originally, I would have thought that this was just a pure campus love story, especially in the previous hour, ye Xianglun and Lu Xiaoyu's sweet love developed rapidly, and although Qingyi had a crush on Ye Xianglun, it was not difficult to force people. It really seems like a bland love bridge without twists and turns, and the music of the film plays an extremely important role in setting off the plot and creating the atmosphere.
Until the day of the graduation ceremony, the plot unexpectedly changed suddenly, and everything in the past, everything that had been, Ye Xianglun's world was suddenly subverted. Constantly recalling, constantly searching for answers, searching for one encounter scene after another, dictations around them, and finally piecing together a complete answer.
The plot rhythm of the last 40 minutes is completely different from the first 60 minutes, the interweaving of the scenes, the blowout of the amount of information, and all the answers are shaken out in one breath, so that the audience is overwhelmed, all the way to the end, and even tears.
Until the end of the film, Jay Chou's "Secret That Cannot Be Said" and Cai Qin's "Lover's Tears" will continue to linger in the ears.
It's a time-traveling film in which a 1979 schoolgirl inadvertently acquires a sheet music called "Secret," and by playing the piece in a specific piano room, she is able to travel through time to the same place 20 years later, where she meets the teenager in 1999.
This is not a parallel universe, nor is it a step back in time, because every crossing will change history and affect the development of the story later, it should be said that this is an extremely advanced plot design, and it is no wonder that more than a decade ago, this movie could not be understood by everyone.
If you have to find a similar cross-over plot, the 2006 Japanese animation film "The Girl Who Traveled Through Time" may be somewhat similar, and the "Hello, Lee Huan Ying" at the beginning of this year may be some reference to the concept of this movie, but in fact, in comparison, it is also weak.
Lu Xiaoyu's nine crossings, each crossing, left some small clues in the plot, but at the time of watching it was not inadvertent, coupled with the director's sometimes audio-visual confusion, let us not think so.
It is precisely because of the buried huge clues that when the last one is revealed, it can make the biggest brilliance of this movie.
If these nine crossings are revealed one by one, it will be less interesting to watch this film, so I just want to add some hidden clues.
The first encounter between Ye Xianglun and Lu Xiaoyu was in the 100-year-old music building at the school.
Ye Xianglun is a new student who has just transferred to this school, and Qingyi introduced him to the campus all the way and took him to the front of the music building. From Qingyi's mouth, we know that this music building has a long history, and we also know that this music class will be demolished after the graduation ceremony, which sets the final ending for the whole movie.
The encounter between Ye Xianglun and Lu Xiaoyu is somewhat of a taste of love at first sight.
When Lu Xiaoyu broke into Ye Xianglun's classroom and sat down in the last row, Ye Xianglun's smile attracted criticism from the teacher. The real scene of Lu Xiaoyu in the lens, Qingyi sitting in front of her is a virtual scene, this contrast between reality and virtuality, the position of the two girls buried in Ye Xianglun's heart, and we can still see the smile on Qingyi's face under the blur, in the eyes of the teacher, Ye Xianglun's object of favor is Qingyi. Therefore, in the corridor, the teacher's second misunderstanding of Ye Xianglun.
The second crossing, the sunset, Ye Xianglun and Lu Xiaoyu were eating ice cream cones on the side of the road, Lu Xiaoyu said: "I have not eaten", Ye Xianglun did not ask in detail. Because it's true that the ice cream of 1979 is still in a cup.
The third time she crossed, Lu Xiaoyu saw Qingyi for the first time, so she could talk to Qingyi. The fourth time, the music teacher opened the cabinet door in the piano room, faced the road rain in the cabinet, but said "when I didn't see", we once thought that he was pretending not to see the road rain in the cabinet, but we didn't want him to just pretend not to see the words on the cabinet door.
These two clues of these two crossings made us completely eliminate the doubt that only Ye Xianglun could see Lu Xiaoyu before, and even more that everyone could see Lu Xiaoyu. I have to say that these are two extremely painstaking arrangements.
The fifth crossing, Ye Xianglun and Lu Xiaoyu passed by Lu Xiaoyu's door, and a vague figure in the floor-to-ceiling window looked at them, but it was actually Lu Xiaoyu who was insane 20 years later. This character appeared twice, the second time without showing his face, and the director cleverly used a top-down perspective to look at Ye Xianglun downstairs through the window to reflect the light rain on the road upstairs.
On the seventh crossing, Ye Xianglun told Lu Xiaoyu the news that the piano room would be demolished at the time of graduation, and the expression on Lu Xiaoyu's face revealed her uneasiness about the approaching limit, so she taught Ye Xianglun to play the secret.
Ye Xianglun complained that Lu Xiaoyu bounced too fast to learn, Lu Xiaoyu said, "I play so fast when I go back", which is another casual pun, Ye Xianglun thought she was talking about going home, but Lu Xiaoyu meant going back to the past.
When Lu Xiaoyu made a graduation ceremony agreement with Ye Xianglun in a way of pulling a hook in the seventies, Ye Xianglun also did not care that "this is still popular now", which also implied that they were not people of an era.
The last time they crossed, Ye Xianglun and Lu Xiaoyu had an air-to-air conversation with correction fluid on their desks. Ye Xianglun can see the words left by Lu Xiaoyu, but Lu Xiaoyu can't see Ye Xianglun's words, one in 1999, one in 1979, crossing can change the present, but now it can't change the past.
So when Ye Xianglun went to Lu Xiaoyu's house, her mother would tell Ye Xianglun that Xiaoyu didn't know where to go again. It is precisely because the road rain in 1979 has crossed again and again, so that the current road rain is intermittent.
Although when we talk about director Jay Chou, we always vaguely feel that this identity is somewhat incompatible with him. But I have to say that in this "Secret That Cannot Be Said", Jay Chou wrote an extremely pure love story with great care.
There is no paper drunk gold fan, no chaos and abandonment, and there is no plot of those dog blood. What we see is only Ye Xianglun and Lu Xiaoyu's desire and persistence for each other, as well as this love that spans time and space.
