After "No Problem", the new film "Love Song 1980" directed by Mei Feng was launched in Miyun, Beijing, starring Chunxia, Li Xian, Mai Zi and others, and will be filmed in Beijing, Dalian, Inner Mongolia and Sichuan, with a shooting cycle of about 2 months.
Like "No Problem" adapted from Lao She's original novel, "Love Song 1980" is also adapted from the novel, the original book is "The Lover of 1980", which tells the love story of several young people in Beijing in the early days of reform and opening up. According to the synopsis of the film' story: "College student Masatake drowned, and his younger brother Zhengwen fell in love with his brother's girlfriend Mao Hazel. Mao Hazel's mystery and imminent departure make The Text painful and confused; and the eagerness and deep love of another woman, Tan Lili, also makes the Body Text feel confused. Spring to autumn, a few young people, each going to life. ”
The original author, Yu Xiaodan, grew up in Beijing and worked as an editor at the Foreign Literary Review, translating Nabokov's Lolita, Fialta's Spring, and Raymond Carver's What You Do in San Francisco.
In the 1990s, Yu Xiaodan went to the United States to study fashion design in New York, and after graduation, he became a lingerie designer and began to live another life. It wasn't until 2006, when the deceased got together one by one on the Internet, that she remembered Beijing in the '80s—memories that were so fascinating that she quit her job to write the novel "Lover in the 1980s."
In the preface to the novel, Yu Xiaodan introduced that the original name of "Lover of 1980" was "Di Tang".
The two words '棣棠' come from the Book of Poetry, "Brother Yan I Zai Yong Di Tang 鞯鞲.". According to the legend of the "Yamabuki No kabuki" of the Japanese shogunate era, Yamabuki is the name of The Begonia, which tells the anecdotes of the great general Ota Michizuki who studied and sang hard. Yu Xiaodan said that the woman in this story is very subtle, very similar to the mood of her novel.
The director Mei Feng, who directed "Love Song 1980", also had a college life in that era. 28 years ago, Mei Feng graduated from the Chinese Department of the School of International Relations, was assigned to the Propaganda Department of the Political Department of the Inner Mongolia National Security Department, and was admitted to the graduate school of Beiying five years later, and stayed on as a teacher. He collaborated with Lou Ye and participated in the creation of "Summer Palace" (co-screenwriter), "Purple Butterfly" (screenwriting consultant) and "Spring Breeze Drunken Night" (screenwriter), "Floating City Mystery" (screenwriter).
In 2014 he began filming the film "No Problem", which won the Best Artistic Contribution Award at the Tokyo Film Festival and the Best Adapted Screenplay Award at the Golden Horse Film Festival.
In 2016, after the shooting of "No Problem", Mei Feng said in an interview that he wanted to make a "youth film" and "not the kind of youth film on the market".
