The first is the content of the story. For an ordinary audience, no matter what drama, what country, what era, what actor to perform, to win his (her) heart, the most basic thing is the appeal of the story.
"Xing You" is a love story, a lingering love story in which it is difficult to have a family, but it eventually becomes a family.
The male protagonist Do Min-joon came to Earth 400 years ago. He disguised himself as a human being out of curiosity, and encountered a human girl Seo Yi-hwa. He was poisoned in the process of protecting her and had to stay on the earth because of the spacecraft that he missed. Yi Hwa gave her life for him, and Do Min Joon spent 400 years alone on earth with his eternal thoughts for this girl. After 400 years, Du Minjun was expecting the spaceship of the mother planet to come and pick him up again, but he didn't expect the face that disappeared from the earth and survived in his heart for 400 years to appear again. , appeared on the popular star Qian Songyi. I stayed because of her 400 years ago, so why don't people after 400 leave because of her? That face was like a bundle of ropes, tying him tightly to this beautiful planet. Do Minjun carefully touched his wound and began to remind himself to forget. But the more he suppressed himself, the more he couldn't help but pay attention to her and protect her. Repression, if painful as a person feels, makes the story interesting when applied to him. The repressed Do Minjun is always duplicitous. At two o'clock in the morning, I heard Qian Songyi shouting that she had a stomachache. She said to herself, "It's none of my business," while getting dressed and going out to lie to the goddess that he was going to the hospital for errands; In danger, he could not be persuaded by the constellation, but he even stole shoes. When the goddess asked him why he wanted to steal shoes, he confidently quoted "Zhongshan Wolf" to deny it. As soon as the camera turned to the shoe cabinet, he looked at the pair of "stealing shoes". "Hey," he shook his head and sighed, it was so cute; the udon noodles that he had packed especially for Qian Songyi, but he said it was given by someone else, he wanted to eat it with the goddess, but he said he could eat it himself. Okay, but it’s better to eat together; anger Qian Songyi for being too close to keep her away from him, but secretly move her steps to approach others; rejecting others for the first time on the ice, but freezing time to kiss secretly; After the museum refused for the second time, it hid behind her back and watched silently, using her super power to help her call a taxi; hearing Qian Songyi's cry for help, she flew over without even putting on her coat, and found that the goddess was safe and sound. , but hid behind the tree and muttered...
There is nothing special about a man falling in love with a woman. The special thing about "Star You" is that the male protagonist is an alien, a species that has never been seen in the ranks of boyfriends. He has superhuman ability, teleportation, freezing time, clairvoyance and ears, all kinds of skills enable him to save the heroine from all difficulties, punish the wicked who bullied her and murder her, and block the car with wind and thunder. Our lovely Qian Songyi was in a bad mood and crashed into a car, don't be afraid, he moved in an instant and hugged her away; the car failed to stop, don't be afraid, he fell from the sky in an instant to help her block the car; being poisoned, don't be afraid , he moved her to the hospital in an instant, and helped her to wash her stomach in person; if she lost contact, don't be afraid, he can appear in front of her with a loud shout. There is nothing special about having super powers. American Superman, Spider-Man, Batman, etc., catch a lot of them. But unlike the Spider-Man who hurriedly rushed to save others despite their affectionate lover, Du Minjun's super power is Qian Songyi's patent, and it is only used on her, even if the landslides and tsunamis call for help, He only cares where she is and whether she is safe. Women all have the desire to be protected, so this kind of episode is really endless, especially now that there is an imbalance between men and women, there are more women than men, and it is not surprising that the ratings have hit a new high.
Do Min Joon has lived on earth for 400 years, and he has experienced so many things that he can't even hold his mind. But he has no desires or desires, and he is neither good nor evil, which is also the law that he has always been alone. Only because of Yihua's fate and Qian Songyi's robbery, he forced him to participate in the disputes of ordinary people and stretch his fists. The setting of such a male protagonist with a mysterious identity and special abilities adds infinite charm to this love story and adds an infinite motivation for the audience to see to the end. What's more - taking off the cloak of alien superpowers, Do Minjun is not a diaosi like me. He has the appearance of a jade tree facing the wind, a demeanor that is not afraid of honor or shame, the connotation of learning to be rich in five cars, and a wealth of wealth. A too good male protagonist is an essential element of a happy love story, and although it is cliché, it will not be offensive. Moreover, this extraordinary man has regarded all living beings as grass for 400 years, and in his heart, he only sees Yihua Songyi, and his feelings are so specific that it cannot be added. This is the dream of many ancient and modern women!
Although Do Minjun has a rich material foundation and a deep emotional foundation, and has gained Qian Songyi's deep affection, he cannot control and place this feeling at will. Because being the creator of God sets up a lot of contradictions for him. For example, the spaceship he had been waiting for for 400 years finally came, and he was finally able to return to his home planet. Is there anything in the world more desirable than returning to your hometown? Not to mention he waited 400 years. In fact, there is, it is love! Deep love and this yearning are evenly matched. Between choosing and giving up, Do Minjun was tossing and turning. He tried to jump out of love, tried to be indifferent, tried to refuse. Therefore, he rejected Qian Songyi in the ice and snow, and said to her against her will: "I hate you, I hate your endless entanglement!" Maybe it was best for him that Qian Songyi didn't confess, he would rather go in the ambiguity Enjoy the love that may not be available in the end, but Qian Songyi forced him to reply, he had to disguise himself and said "no" with all his heart. The moment Qian Songyi turned to leave, he felt the pain of loss, used his superpower to freeze time, and gave her a kiss from the audience in front of the beautiful crying screen. Our story is about love, so what can rival love? Yes, it can't. At this moment, only one rival in love appears, and even if Do Minjun has cool superpowers, it is difficult to get out of the abyss of love. Du Minjun, who was already determined to leave, even had the determination to sell the house, but when he saw that the buyer at the door turned out to be Qian Songyi's suitor Huijing, he was so jealous, even Xingxing's jealous jar. Overturned rhythm. The play is also constantly interspersed with clips of Do Minjun giving lectures at the university, and comparing the disdain of jealousy during the lectures with his own micro-expressions and words due to jealousy, it really makes people laugh. . When Hui Jing risked his life to save Qian Songyi with a flesh and blood body without superpowers, Professor Du finally couldn't hold back. He completely put the matter of returning to his home planet behind him, and used his housekeeping skills to please the goddess, lighting his eyes, kissing trapeze people, not being able to contact the saliva of earthlings or revealing his identity.
The battle between the heart of returning home and love has been decided, and love has the upper hand. What follows is the battle between life and love. Before he fell in love with Qian Songyi, Do Minjun's feelings were joyous and anticipatory, because there were only three months left before returning to the home planet, and all life and death on earth had nothing to do with it. But when he couldn't bear to leave because of his deep love, he couldn't escape the problem of death, because the author God set him to stay on earth and die. Regarding death, Do Minjun made three choices. The first time was when he knew that Qian Songyi had fallen from the coercion and was dying, he ran to Li Zaijing's office angrily and carried him to the roof. The irrational Do Minjun was about to throw the villain from the high-rise building. Lee Jae-kyung reminded him, "If I die, you will die too." The rule is that he must die if he kills the earthlings. But Lee Jae-kyung's reminder obviously didn't work, and Do Min-jun roared: "I will kill you even if you die!" Lee Jae-kyung still knew the professor's fate, and immediately threw out a sentence: "If you die, no one will protect Qian Songyi! " Du Minjun suddenly woke up and slowly put the villain down. He realized that death is not terrible, but losing a lover is terrible. The second time was when Do Min-joon was out for a while when they went on a trip, and Qian Songyi cried and called his name anxiously. Seeing his lover looking anxious and heartbroken behind his back, Du Minjun surrendered again and said to Qian Songyi, "I won't leave, I won't leave anytime." In fact, the words in his heart were : "I won't leave even if I die." The third time, Do Minjun passed out after a nosebleed. When Qian Songyi came back and saw his appearance, she thought he was really dead, so she fell on top of him and cried. At this time, Qian Songyi already knew the secret that he would die if he didn't leave the earth, so when he woke up, the beauty Yizhihuachun persuaded him that he must not die for her, as long as he didn't die, even if he left. Would rather die for love, can't die for love, die or not, love has the final say!
It is said that Du Minjun's rival Huijing, although he has quietly pursued Qian Songyi's perseverance for 15 years, is also a handsome young man of pure and good quality, but in the end he could not win Qian Songyi's heart, nor was he able to How much affection he has won from the audience, I am very sorry for him, but we have to understand in our hearts that this is necessary. Compared with the male protagonist, he seems too frail, and has no way of impressing the female protagonist, and even the female protagonist's younger brother despises him. But the main reason is that he is just a pusher for our theme love, and any love story is indispensable to such a setting, which is similar. Not only Hui Jing, but even his brother Zai Jing, the big villain in the play, can only help promote the plot. I have to say that the screenwriter doesn't seem to be really good at writing suspenseful stories. Although the murder case is interspersed, the case is simple and boring. From the second episode, the cause and effect of the case can basically be guessed. It's just that his frequent acts of evil gave Do Minjun many opportunities to protect Qian Songyi, adding fuel to the warming of their relationship.
The reason why a story can be a story is because the road to a happy ending is bumpy, because the characters in the story are caught in all kinds of thrilling fog and unpredictable, because they are so unstoppable and heartbroken. This is the charm of "Star You".
The second is the performance of the actors.
I know basically nothing about Korean stars. It is said that Kim Soo Hyun, who plays Do Min Joon, has acted in many TV dramas, and he is the most popular in "Star You". From the bottom of my heart, I think he's acting Du Minjun is really beautiful, his face seems to have been carefully sculpted, his image is plump, and he is stern and restrained. When he first came to Earth, he was an innocent, curious and ignorant teenager. We saw fearlessness and scruples from Kim Soo Hyun's face. After 400 years of vicissitudes, Kim Soo Hyun showed Do Min Jun's calm, restrained, solemn and unsmiling image. When standing on the podium and teaching the class calmly, we can see a scholar with temperament and cultural accomplishment. From the acquaintance and love with Qian Songyi, Kim Soo Hyun has been integrated into it. The first time they met Qian Songyi, Qian Songyi mistook him for a perverted stalker and taunted him fiercely. Kim Soo Hyun's face was expressionless, but his eyes showed contempt. There are also many micro-expressions that are just right. I like the way he is drunk the most. It completely releases the child's frankness. He muttered to himself in confusion, and instantly moved to Qian Songyi's boudoir to sleep for the night. When he woke up the next day and found Qian Songyi sitting next to him, he suddenly got up like a child who did something wrong, hesitating and fumbling. Before there was no love, he was basically a man with facial paralysis. After he had love, he became a person who cried, laughed, and had flesh and blood. When he overheard Qian Songyi rejecting Hui Jing's marriage proposal, he smiled emotionally in the elevator. When the two were officially in love and play, he unfolded a smile with no burden at all, like a flower that bloomed without regrets. When he watched the video of Qian Songyi's marriage proposal, he laughed happily and then cried sadly, and it was so natural that it was like he was Do Minjun.
Out of my deep love for Do Min Joon, as a fan, I deliberately went online to find the introduction and promotional poster pictures about Kim Soo Hyun. But slightly disappointed. I love Do Min Joon more than Kim Soo Hyun. From image to deeds. Do Min-joon's beauty is created by the director and screenwriter, serving the character from shape creation to lens beautification. Of course, there is Kim Soo Hyun's acting skills and the degree of integration into the role. In the end, we still have to thank Kim Soo Hyun for bringing us Do Min Joon.
The heroine Qian Songyi is played by Quan Zhixian, who used to be famous in the movie "My Sassy Girl". Although I haven't seen that movie, I have heard her name. After a lapse of more than ten years, she has experienced marriage and childbirth and standing in front of the screen, but she still looks like a goddess. Qian Songyi's life experience is that her parents divorced. When she was a teenager, she made an appearance in order to earn money to support her family. The story endows her with multiple personalities. She is strong and arrogant because of pressure, sensitive and inferior because of loneliness, ignorant because of missed learning opportunities, and outgoing because of her living environment... She is such a complicated person, but Jun Ji-hyun plays it very well. She can initiate a drunken madness and shout open sesame at the door of other people's houses, and she can ask people's love with her shoes nervously; she can talk to people about her philosophy quietly and intellectually, making people ashamed or admired; she can be ashamed or admired; she can be as low as dust Confess to her beloved with tears in her eyes; she can also step into the red carpet in a fairy dress full of aura... Watching the show of Quan Goddess, you sometimes burst into laughter, such as the plot of drunkenness and sleeping bag Sometimes she burst into tears, such as her confession in several episodes at the end; sometimes she was awe-inspiring, such as when she told Do Minjun about her experience and a few conversations with Shimei; sometimes she was amazed, such as in the last episode Gorgeous appearance on the red carpet.
The other supporting roles are very good, and there are also beautiful and handsome guys. Korean films like to pile up eye-catching stars. In particular, I want to mention that the handsome officer Liu has more knowledge than Kim Soo Hyun, but he is not the protagonist, the camera is not beautified enough, and the clothes are not detailed enough. I personally think that the hero and heroine of a romantic film must be handsome and beautiful, and they will look pleasing to the eye and dreamlike. "Star You" does this.
There is also the spiritual connotation of the film.
In addition to a good plot, a good film must also have a guiding meaning. The spiritual theme of "Star You" is to praise the attitude of love. For love, do not succumb to material things. For love, do not care about the situation. Qian Songyi is a person with multiple personalities, and she is particularly prone to nerves and nagging, but it does not affect her image in the hearts of Do Minjun and the vast number of fans, relying on her brilliance in human nature. His career plummeted and his life fell into a trough. It was so difficult to sell and pay the rent, but he still refused the marriage proposal from the wealthy son Huijing. Because she felt that she had no love for him and could not yield to herself. After falling in love with Do Minjun, she felt that Do Minjun's identity was mysterious, but she told Do Minjun that even if he was a wanted criminal, she would not mind. When Do Minjun confessed that he was an alien, Qian Songyi said, "I simply like the man next door, and I don't care who he is." When her mother asked who Do Minjun was, she Said: "No matter who other people say he is, in my mind he is the one I love deeply." When she learned that Do Minjun would die if he stayed on the earth, she reluctantly persuaded him to leave, leaving only loneliness and sadness for herself . Do Minjun's madness for love needless to say.
In addition to love, Qian Songyi also conveyed positive energy in other aspects. For example, when Qian Songyi told Do Minjun about her experience on the balcony, when she was sad when she was angry or hungry because of losing weight, she would be comforted as long as she saw her poster on the building opposite the balcony. move on. Another example is that Se-mi loves Hui-kyung, and ran over to tell Qian Songyi that the person who rescued her 12 years ago was Do Min-jun, so that she could spark with Do Min-jun, and Hui-kyung would give up on Qian Song-yi. After seeing it through, Qian Songyi said to her: "jealousy, resentment, if you want to get down in these quagmire, don't pull me down." What we see is a strong woman who is not easily discouraged and is not easily influenced by others .
Finally, let's talk about some external things added to the plot.
Although there are not many scenes in "Star You", it is related to the limitation of space. South Korea is so big, how can there be so many scenes with beautiful scenery. But the director didn't save money either. Inside from the use, clothing, food, housing, transportation and other uses are tall. It is said that the bicycle that Du Minjun rides is equivalent to about 20,000 yuan, and the private cars are all big-name brands. The costumes are even more incredible. The male and female protagonists seem to have another task in addition to acting, which is to go to the fashion show. They change clothes almost every shot. The clothes are as eye-catching as the actors, and I never get tired of seeing them, making me cry.
In the play, the screenwriter also tried her best to show off her knowledge reserve. For example, Professor Du's lectures are all theories of a famous psychologist. The books that the professor reads, all types and levels, it is estimated that the screenwriters have read them. Especially mentioned "Edward's Fantasy Travel", "Nine Dream Clouds" and "Bright Heart Treasures", you must read them when you have time. I don't read enough books, and I'm embarrassed to even watch TV shows.
In general, although "Star You" also has dog blood, the good part is enough to make thousands of viewers bow down.
