Hailed by audiences as the best domestic youth film "Waiting Alone", it was filmed in 2003 and released in 2005 two years later.
The film is dedicated to the man who slipped away. The girl we used to miss in those years.
The story takes place in Beijing at the beginning of this century.
Chen Wen, played by Xia Yu, helps high school classmate Li Liang run an antique shop and writes his thriller novels in his spare time.
Friends introduced the film and television actor Liu Rong to Chen Wen, and Liu Rong, played by Li Bingbing, met all of Chen Wen's imaginations of the lover in his dreams: big eyes, white skin, and generous fall.
Liu Rong's feelings for Chen Wen confuse all the audience, maybe this is the love in the hearts of the post-80s. It is neither a psychological sustenance, nor a material need, nor a physical need. Liu Rong repeatedly bowed down to Chen Wen, but made it clear that he only wanted to be friends.
Compared with the glass sugar ring that Chen Wen gave to Liu Rong, Liu Rong gave Chen Wen an expensive gold pen in return.
Liu Rongmiao is difficult to catch, and Chen Wen thought of a small trick to let Li Liang's sister Li Jing pretend to be a woman who is close to him to stimulate Liu Rong. Li Jing is played by Gong Beiyuan, which is a scene praised by the audience, which allows Gong Beiyuan to gain countless fans.
Liu Rong seemed to be touched and asked Chen Wen to visit her residence.
When the editor wrote the copy, he repeatedly scratched his head, saying that he did not know what kind of text to use to describe the emotional state of Liu Rong and Chen Wen, and Fang Fang told the editor's uncle that a woman would take a man who pursued her to her residence, which was the expression of the promise, which was the case after the 80s, 90s and 00s.
Chen Wen must have known this too, and after he was ecstatic, the birthday party turned into a spoof.
Chen Wen was extremely depressed, but Liu Rong appeared at Chen Wen's home, and the two kissed, and Chen Wen's confidence reached its peak.
Li Bingbing is the kiss scene filmed seven days after entering the group, there is no misalignment, it can be seen that it is a real tongue kiss, Li Bingbing's calmness and Xia Yu's crampedness, just right to reflect the position of the two in the emotional world.
Chen Wen saw Liu Rong intimately with a successful man, from quite confident to no self-confidence,
Li Jing accompanies Chen Wen after the loss of love, and Chen Wen discovers that Li Jing has always had a crush on him.
Liu Rong looked for Chen Wen and wanted to be a friend again, but Chen Wen had no passion.
Li Jing went to the south, Chen Wen went to the station to say goodbye, and the two of them looked at each other hand in hand, speechless.
"Waiting Alone" is still the highest-rated domestic romance film in Douban today, which is repeatedly played on the CCTV movie channel.
The director of the film, Wu Shixian, is of mixed Chinese and American descent, a cattle man, who is not only the director of the film, but also takes over other positions such as producer and screenwriter post-editing, and plays an important role in the film.
At the end of the film, there are two big pits, Chen Wen stays alone in Beijing, will Liu Rong still go to her? Li Jing went to the south, is there a follow-up between them?
Douban has always had the entry for "Waiting Alone 2", and Wu Shixian admitted that he has always had the idea of making a sequel, but "Waiting Alone" is very successful, and shooting a sequel has made him daunted.
Gong Beiyuan, played by Li Jing, is actually a southerner, and Li Jing is Gong Beiyuan's favorite and closest character to herself. In order to play Beijing Da Yan well, Gong Beiyuan designed a dirty braid for Li Jing, which formed a strong visual contrast with Li Jing's transformation at the brightest point in the film.
Wang Shuo, an old cannon in Beijing, and others named Gong Beiyuan to grasp the state of Beijing Sayou'er very accurately.
I know that there is a question: who is the image that best fits the "smart smile and beautiful eyes"? The highest answer under the question is: Li Jing in "Waiting Alone".
This is an unforgettable character, not only because of Gong Beiyuan's extremely recognizable beauty.
Chen Wen missed Li Jing, making all the male audience sigh. Gong Beiyuan, who is over 40 years old, has a youthful and unchanging face, and there is still a girlish innocence in her eyes.
Don't worry about it anymore, Gong Beiyuan is married to Wu Shixian, the two are very affectionate, and the children are in elementary school.
Lao Geng also missed a girl named Xia Wei. Do you have it too?
