In the last second, four beautiful "little swans" held hands and sang "friendship lasts forever", like a dream, Chu Chu moving.
In the next second, three ordinary girls dressed in school uniforms danced hotly, and were hurriedly stopped by the teachers in the audience.
Instantly real.
In the last second, several girlfriends were still complaining that the aunt's brain hole was too big, and they even questioned whether the child's father was his own father;
In the next second, he was also suspicious, and couldn't help but smile and ask the child's mother: "Is it his?" ”
Sudden irritation...
Die laughing, this smells right!
The film version of "Love is Delicious" was really waited for by me.
The original cast, continuing the gentle knife of the drama version, cuts through the soft light filter and wonderful fantasy. Combining real female existence, interesting male and female relationships, moving female friendships... Show them one by one.
Sincere, light, unconventional. Most importantly, you will definitely see your shadow at some point.
Ordinary girls
In 2021, the drama version of "Love is Delicious" came out of the circle by word of mouth, and 260,000 Douban netizens scored a high score of 8.1. The real and down-to-earth characters, and the funny and non-procrastinating, light and not bloody fast pace, are impressive.
As soon as the movie begins, familiar inner flavors come to the face - Liu Jing, Fang Xin, Xia Meng, three good girlfriends who grew up together and do not distinguish each other.
As heroines, they are different from other big heroines from the beginning of their names - ordinary.
Liu Jing, confused.
30+, unemployed. Against all odds, he started his own business and resolutely opened his own restaurant. The inspirational heroine's buffs are stacked full, and MCN companies have taken the initiative to find her as a shop blogger.
Who knew that as soon as she opened her mouth, it was real: my store was losing money every day.
Summer dreams, restless.
When I went to school, I was a top student, and after work, I was the vice president of a large factory. It stands to reason that she is also a good seedling of the big heroine, but she is not white, young or thin, with a clear purpose and strong desire for control. Such a woman is obviously difficult to make the traditional overlord feel pity.
Therefore, Xia Meng's two relationships are both strong women and weak men: ex-boyfriend Wang Jichong is his subordinate, and he can't stand being in a low position and gossiping and breaking up.
The current husband Lu Bin is a fitness trainer, who also has a deep sense of crisis and tries to improve his status in the relationship through some means.
Who would have thought that one day Xia Meng would be "sanctioned" by these two men together.
At work, in order to keep her department, she had to curry favor with the big IP author KK. And this KK is actually a good brother of ex-boyfriend Wang Jichong. Back home, she has to beg her current boyfriend Lu Bin to pretend to be herself and take the game-addicted KK to the king.
Reduced to the bottom of the food chain... This day is a minute fryer.
Fang Xin, anxious.
Recognized as beautiful and gentle, but miserably "green" by the scumbag ex-husband.
has already written a high-burning script for her in her brain for housewives to return to the workplace to beat the face scumbag, who knows... As soon as she changed to a particularly satisfying job, she and her boyfriend Zhang Ting "made a trouble" - an unexpected pregnancy.
What to do, the child and the career want it, Fang Xin can only hold his stomach and continue to roll in the company.
A woman with some talent but frustrated entrepreneurship, a woman who has been hit by a series of storms of career and love, a woman who faces a choice between self and responsibility.
They are not so glamorous and not so miserable; Not so invincible, not so vulnerable. It's so real and ordinary that even the "flaws" are empathetic.
And the process of falling in love with them was full of surprises. Just like opening a piece of chocolate, biting into the outer layer of nut chips, the sweet and mellow filling will overflow the mouth.
It turns out that about love, about friendship, about ourselves, there are such vivid and interesting ways to open -
Unrestricted relationships between men and women
Let's start with love.
Several love lines of "Love is Delicious" exude a unique sense of fashion and freedom in the city.
Bloody but true, exaggerated and not frivolous.
Especially Liu Jing, her emotional experience is placed in a certain petal life group, and she definitely has the potential to rise tall on the ground.
#你相信男友用约会软件是为了找群演吗? #
Hearing Jiang Shanmu shout this explanation to Liu Jing's back, the dean burst into laughter. It's okay to cheat your sister, don't deceive yourself.
#你相信女孩会在社交软件遇到真爱吗? #
In order to take revenge on Jiang Shanmu, Liu Jing also registered an account and met a man named Xiang Dongliu on the dating app.
Although nothing happened, Liu Jing became a little curious about this mysterious man in his heart.
At first glance, this breakup and acquaintance are full of gimmicks, right?
But a closer look reveals that these topics are more than just eye-catching.
The node at which Liu Jing chose to break up is delicate.
After discovering that Jiang Shanmu uses social software, she first uses the Cold War to escape the conflict. And officially proposed to break up because Jiang Shanmu posted a celebratory circle of friends after the finalization, but did not send a message to himself.
An understatement, but it shows the most real mentality and needs of girls: attitude is really important.
Liu Jing's opportunity to flow eastward was also just right.
The yuppie's appearance and eight-pack abs did not make Liu Jing have evil thoughts. A meal conquered Liu Jing's stomach, and then shook her heart. The two have a spiritual resonance in the field they share a common passion.
Two details can be seen that "Love is Delicious" is delicate and in place for women's psychology.
The same is true of Xia Meng's relationship with Lu Bin. Strong as a summer dream, it will also naturally show the gentleness and cunning of the little girl in love.
In order to let Lu Bin help him break into KK's social circle, Mr. Xia is a coquettish and well-behaved person in private!
You see, the distinction between strength and weakness between men and women is a concept of flow.
Xia Meng is strong and has the ability to resist life risks; Lu Binqiang, including him, has a broad and inclusive mind to withstand pressure. It is precisely because he gives him enough security that the hedgehog-like Xia Meng will reveal his soft belly.
The relationship between Fang Xin and Zhang Ting was even more dramatic.
Fang Xin, who likes to follow the trend, is a big deal when he rebels.
After an unexpected pregnancy, she decided to keep the child, but she had not yet thought about whether to marry Zhang Ting.
"Is pregnancy a sufficient condition for marriage?"
This proposition is bold and sharp, but it leads people back to the simplest and most often overlooked essence of marriage: whether you are married or not, parents and children are not important, you and that person are the most important.
Zhang Ting's state is obviously debatable.
It does not limit the way of understanding, does not stipulate the mode of getting along, and does not impose the final result.
There is no sadomasochistic relationship that wants to die or live, and there is no official match who forcibly makes up a couple. The man who flows water, the heroine who beats iron, and the attitude of treating love lightly, I give full marks!
Bursting flashing female friendship
Let's talk about friendship.
"Love is Delicious" portrays women's friendship equally lightly and warmly.
At least ten pairs of good girlfriends can perfectly restore the daily life between girls, so well versed in the unspoken rules of women's social interaction.
Girlfriend iron rule (1): Do good deeds without leaving a name, do bad deeds leave a girlfriend's name.
Xiang Dongliu asked Liu Jing's name, Liu Jing returned to "Fang Xin" for the first time and "Xia Meng" for the second time.
Die laughing! The more intimate, the more it can withstand such jokes, which does not affect the feelings, but will become the next mutual damage talk.
Girlfriend iron rule (2): Never say bad things about her partner before your girlfriend breaks up completely, so as not to eat a boomerang.
Early one morning, Liu Jing pulled Xia Meng and Fang Xin out for breakfast and solemnly announced that he had broken up with Shanmu.
Xia Meng and Fang Xin didn't lift their eyes, one packed, the other hit, ready to leave the scene quickly.
The scumbag bureau that I thought was complained about became Liu Jing's criticism day.
Because I know too well, complaining is often the most accurate and interesting.
Here, Liu Jing complained that Xia Meng loved to add oil and vinegar:
Over there, Xia Meng still took Liu Jing's "Aquarius, play fine":
Countless of you come and go, simply playing me and my girlfriends!
Of course, because I know too well, I know best where to poke the knife when I quarrel.
At the rehearsal site of the annual meeting of Xia Meng, a fierce quarrel broke out between the three.
Fang Xin struggled with whether he should marry Zhang Ting, Liu Jing was confused between career and love, and Xia Meng rehearsed the dance with the two regardless of one force.
The three people had their own troubles and said their own things, and the long-accumulated contradictions were about to erupt.
Fang Xin commented that Xia Meng was "self-centered", Xia Meng was dissatisfied with Liu Jing's "hesitation", and Liu Jing angrily scolded Fang Xin for "being so able to pretend"...
The fierce words were like throwing knives, piercing everyone in blood.
I wanted to rush into the big screen and stop them and shout "don't fight, don't fight"...
But guess what?
On the day of the annual meeting, the three girls appeared as promised.
Daily laughter and scolding are just a façade of intimacy, and it is only after an argument that the truth of the maintenance of a long-lasting friendship is unearthed - appreciation of each other's personalities, unconditional trust in each other.
I especially like their little agreement in the play: after a fight, you have to say something you didn't do right.
This point directly breaks the cognitive misunderstanding of most people - female friendship is not simply out of the sensibility of "chat", but also rational consideration and management.
In the matter of picking girlfriends, girls are much stricter than picking boyfriends.
In the movie, through Fang Xin's mouth, this agreement was sublimated again:
It's too easy to criticize a person in this day and age, so I don't want to hear you guys criticize yourself here
As a result, the shortcomings of the three people have another saying in each other's mouths.
Xia Meng's "self-centeredness" is strong but not selfish, and can always help friends "nosy".
Fang Xin's "pretending" is because she is strong enough inside and does not need to protect herself with a strong appearance.
Liu Jing's "hesitation" is that she wants to use her own way to make judgments and try bravely.
The meaning of sisterhood is here—we can't accept ourselves, but we shine in the eyes of sisters.
So, don't be afraid, the sky and the earth are big, and the sisters are the biggest.
Not ordinary self-salvation
From the drama version to the movie, the most valuable point of "Love is Delicious" is that by shaping various emotional relationships, it presents the self-contours of Liu Jing, Xia Meng, and Fang Xin that are becoming clearer and clearer.
Liu Jing, ostensibly a difficult choice. Entangled repeatedly, she can always choose the "wrong answer" that some people regret for her.
Choose to open a restaurant between opening a restaurant during the pandemic and returning to work in the bank.
Between the absolutely rich second-generation Song Chao and the casting director Jiang Shanmu, choose Jiang Shanmu.
In fact, she is an extreme romantic, hesitant and just listening to her inner voice.
Choosing Jiang Shanmu is a real beating for him, and he chose to open a restaurant because of his true love.
There is right or wrong in the choice of utilitarian, and it is worth it for the effort out of sincerity, no matter what the result is.
Fang Xin, how many people envy her beauty, but they don't know that beauty is her lifelong enemy.
Because of the beauty, I was avoided by many people when I went to school, I was raised by obscene customers after work, and I was insulted by the master when I took a taxi It is a special profession...
It also makes her easier to be picked by men, coaxed into marriage by rhetoric, and constantly falling in illusory love.
The appearance did not bring practical convenience to Fang Xin, but instead backstabbed her deepest.
Therefore, after waking up from the dream, Fang Xin's biggest fear was to receive preferential treatment.
Whether it is the advantage of appearance or the identity of a pregnant woman, her own character and ability are not recognized, which makes her extremely anxious.
When the company endured the feeling of vomiting, resisting Zhang Ting's excessive care, may be the beginning of her real mastery of life.
She is no longer kidnapped by the voices and rules of the outside world, and no longer acts as the object of other people's desires and expectations.
She began to bravely reject downward freedom.
Xia Meng, the appearance is indestructible, in fact, among the three, she is the one who doubts herself the most.
She envies Fang Xin for being beautiful, Liu Jing is interesting, and she can be eye-catching by nature.
Hard work is the merit she chooses for herself the day after tomorrow, so she lives extra hard.
I don't want to let people glimpse my deep inferiority, burying my head and desperately rushing, but I don't know how dazzling and charming I am now.
There is no shortage of excellent and stubborn girls like Xia Meng in the world, only the voice that praises them.
The look and feel of "Love is Delicious" is so light and comfortable.
Three ordinary and real pleasing girls, a few vivid and interesting loves, a friendship that will not end the curtain.
It depicts the shining points of ordinary women's daily lives, and does not shy away from showing the contradictions and anxieties they press on their hearts.
Sensationalism and sublimation are full of restraint that is a little to stop, like a feather, sweeping lightly and gently, itching, laughing, and there is no afterglow.
As the title of the film "Love is Delicious" -
All the taste of "love", the bittersweet and bitter of life, are hidden in the food, and you need to taste it yourself.
The mouthful of braised pork that Liu Jing swallowed with tears was sour with regret.
The sip of beer that Xia Meng poured in the corner was still bubbling with unyielding defeat.
The chopstick shrimp that Fang Xin swallowed by her neck was the brave first attempt at seafood...
Perhaps, the ending of the story has long been implicit in their food choices.
Whether it seems good or bad to outsiders, they choose to follow their inner decisions and sing along the way.
It's okay to be wrong, it's okay to be late, and it's harmless to overdo it.
When you reconcile with your imperfect self, you will find that learning to love yourself is the subject of your life.
Of course, with sisters around, it will be happier and easier to get credits!
