Director Azuma wanted to make a film that was close to real life, where the audience could see problems similar to those of the characters in their own lives and see how the characters in the story solved the problems. For example, Li Dongshuo is a high school student, 18 years old, he does not understand what the future dream is; like Yu Jing is twenty-eight or nine years old, marriage, feelings are very important things for her; and Xing Zhiyuan, in his early thirties, single-mindedly advocating that he will succeed if he has a dream, but he has not achieved what he wants, full of confusion. "I hope there is a movie where a lot of things happen after three people meet, there are no absolute good guys and bad guys, everyone will be selfish and afraid, through these living characters, let the audience find their own points, cherish what they love, and understand themselves." 」

The role of Yu Jing is an untouched role for Ke Jiayi, and this music healing film shows a brave girl with a lot of personality and hard work for herself. In the movie, the three characters are caught in the emotional whirlpool, and Ke Jiayi believes that Yu Jing is very hesitant, in a state of first encounter with emotional injury, she does not know what she wants, she needs time to repair and sort out her mood. At this time, there were just two people in her life, and even though she might have a little heart for each one, she didn't know in her heart whether to start a new relationship. She also has a very decisive and brave side, she can resolutely put down everything in Taipei and start a new life again, which is a very brave thing, many people may only say this, but not much can really do it. She started a new life in Hualien and met new people, in fact, she was also exploring herself and understanding her own emotional outlook. ”
"Everyone has a love song in their heart", hoping that new characters will have breakthroughs and challenges
Ke Jiayi said that she was deeply attracted by the musical elements in the movie this time, she is a full-fledged music fan, listen to all kinds of music, and even "listen to music" in the subtle way is of great help to her performance, when she encounters a scene with relatively large emotional fluctuations, she will listen to some music that precipitates and calms down, so as to enter a better performance state: "I very much agree with the concept of the movie - everyone has a love song in their hearts, music is very story, and it is related to a certain good memory. For example, the music you often listen to during a certain period will make you remember the mood of the time when you hear it in the future. I listened to a lot of Chinese songs in high school, and now when I hear them, I think about where I went with my classmates at that time, what were you busy with, and what was popular at that time? Music is something that is closely related to emotional memory, and it is important. ”

"Do you know that 'Want to See You', which you play two roles alone, is very popular in the mainland?" Hearing this question, she smiled and shook her head and said, "I don't know, I always have a feeling of being an outsider, although many people will say this, very red, very hot, but I don't know why I always have a feeling of being an outsider, including the feeling of being a bystander when I get to the award ceremony, in short, I am really happy that this play can be liked, everyone has made a lot of effort, this journey I have gained a lot of things in my heart, and I have also experienced a state that I have not experienced before." Just like after "Want to See You", I really think very seriously about the direction of future performances. Ke Jiayi thought about it and said seriously: "I was wondering if the role I played next could have new breakthroughs and new challenges, and I wouldn't have thought about this before." Now I hope that my performance will not only bring the audience a sense of perception, but also bring new growth and new attempts to myself. ”
【Dialogue】
I learned to play the piano while filming "Your Love Song", but the director only kept it for two seconds
Beijing News: Is Yu Jing similar to your personality in the film? Look at the surface is intellectual and gentle?
Ke Jiayi: Really (laughs), it seems that everyone misunderstands me so deeply! In fact, Yu Jing is a certain kind of face of mine, I am not so much like her, she is a person who looks gentle on the outside, but is quite strong on the inside, and she has a very brave side. When I was acting, many times I could feel the kind of persistence she had in her feelings, and I felt that I was too persistent, in other words, I might not be like her.
Beijing News: What are the difficulties in her performance? What do I need to do to prepare?
Ke Jiayi: Familiar with the script, this role is a music teacher, before shooting I had a special piano lesson, practiced for a long time, because I did not understand the staves, I had to memorize the position of the keys on the piano, and then spent a lot of effort to play, because the director needed to shake the camera up to shoot me playing the piano, and the final scene of the scene was only retained for two seconds (laughs). In addition, I also learned a dance lesson, because there was a scene to dance with Xing Zhiyuan.

Beijing News: So this movie unlocks a lot of artistic cells in you?
Ke Jiayi: Haha, yes, the new skill learned should be to play the piano, playing the piano is really quite fun, although I have no foundation, I used a stupid method, but in the end it is very rewarding to be able to play the song out. Recently, during the epidemic period, I have rarely gone out, and in addition to work, I really want to buy a piano and study at home.

Beijing News: There are comments that you play an 18-year-old high school student who has no sense of violation at all, where do you think the secret is?
Ke Jiayi: I think that's a great person, have they really seen 18-year-old high school students? (Laughs) Actually, I think the audience may feel that there is no sense of discord is the reason for this play, and he believes in the plot and sees it, and he can accept me playing at the age of 18. Otherwise, I'm really not that age, physically, physically, physically it is impossible to go back to 18 years old, but every time I perform, I work hard, take good care of my life, and then rely on styling.
Beijing News: What kind of role do you want to try at this stage?
Ke Jiayi: In fact, I have very few singing scenes in this movie, basically the students are singing, so I hope to play a female lead singer, or someone in the orchestra, I don't want to be a teacher anymore! [Laughs]
