This different terminal allowed Qin Fen (Ge You) to earn 2 million yuan, and it also led Feng Xiaogang's new film "If You Are the One" to attract continuous advertising placements. Tsinghua Tongfang, China Merchants Bank, Hangzhou Xixi Wetland Park, Hokkaido Tourism Bureau, Hainan Airlines, Subaru Motors, Motorola, China Mobile, China Unicom... all came together in a manner that everyone could accept. The advertisements in the movie are extreme to a certain extent, and they can be as interesting as the movie itself, which we already understand in "Big Shot". In the current downturn, commercial films are indispensable. The placement of advertisements, which account for half of the total investment of "If You Are the One", must be treated as part of the film's fun. In this regard, Feng Xiaogang has always had both sides, which is worthy of both advertisers and audiences.
Through different terminals, the future seen is still a brilliant money scene.
As for the story, the two paragraphs, which are clearly different but still well connected, respectively confirm that "If You Are the One" will either become a Feng-style version of "Love Call Transfer", which is joyful and cliché; or it will develop into "Life with a Cup of Wine". Sad and long-lasting.
Feng Dao rejected the lively policy of Lunar New Year films many years ago. As a result, the first half of "If You Are the One" tells the story of a blind date with an older man, although the protagonist Qin Fen encounters a gay man, a female yin house salesman, a pregnant woman looking for an adoptive father, a female investor who chooses a man like a potential stock, and insists on "December 1st" The Widow of 'Day'", but has always maintained restraint in her lines and performances. Ge You's iconic face was no longer allowed to show bursting jokes, and only the sketches were left to Fan Wei, who played the role of a venture capitalist. This time, from the mouths of so many individual characters, I am afraid it is not easy to spread many annual Feng-style sentences, or in other words, these sentences have long been rooted and applied in the lives of urbanites. "To pick a target, you must pick a good man who falls below the issue price", such a rough and not rough conversation, in my colleague Lao Wu, I don't know how many sentences will pop up every day, and his wonderful blind date story of fighting wits and courage has long been spread across the network. Only the appearance of the remaining female Liang Xiaoxiao (played by Shu Qi) made the first half of the episode, which had not been raised, tend to be more calm and even depressed. She was a resentful woman who exhausted her youth in her entangled love with a married man. Shu Qi's thick lips that have swallowed the warmth and warmth of her life and her charming eyes are destined to successfully create a resentful woman who makes people feel pity and love.
With Shu Qi's low tone after entering the play, the second half of "If You Are the One" could have become a warm work that inadvertently found the meaning of life, like "Life with a Cup of Wine". But under the current harsh Chinese public aesthetics, a director who seeks the meaning of life is destined to be ridiculed and sarcastic. As Yan Geling, the screenwriter of "Mei Lanfang" felt, "Chinese people are a little cynical when they suppress for too long. When they encounter solemn and serious emotions, they feel that they are fake and solemn." Therefore, the second half of "If You Are the One" is indifferent. The narrative tone is submerged in the magnificent Hokkaido scenery under the lens of Lu Le. The cynical Qin Fen, although showing a love mentality that gradually entered the play, cannot be revealed in depth. This kind of openness of the hippie smile is actually another kind of naked self-protection; The "sunset cliff moment" that finds happiness, but cannot be shown more the tragedy of being ruined by a love. As a New Year's Eve, the movie gave her a suicide attempt, and gave her a Titanic-like warmth of mountains and seas that left her cell phone on the cruise. But we are still convinced that she always remembers the number of the married man. Qin Fen will never be able to regain all the possessions of her soul, but the inevitable and tragedy of cheapness, the spiritual world behind the left men and women fighting the gunpowder, is not what this film is about. want to express. Maybe thought about it too, but beware the harsh current reality won't allow it.
In this way, the second half of "If You Are the One" is far from the spirit of "Life with a Cup of Wine", and leads to a scenery film like "Battle of Okinawa".
Towards the end of the film, Qin Fen bids farewell to his old friend in Hokkaido, and remembers his childhood years. Now his friends have disappeared, and loneliness has struck. After parting, the old Hokkaido friends sang Japanese folk songs with tears in their eyes and drove the Subaru to the mountain road. More than 3 minutes of footage always follows this guy who is not the protagonist. In the theater, some people were worried about "will there be a car accident", and then someone retorted in a low voice: "How can an accident happen if someone sponsored a car!" Could it be the request of the car manufacturer?
Walking out of the theater, a young man in front criticized dissatisfiedly, "Why is this bad movie, especially the part where the car drives away, why is it necessary?" The older man in the back sighed with emotion: "It's a very good movie, the car situation is in the mountains of Hokkaido. Duan, it makes me very sad."
Indeed, the film has no account of the past of the two old friends, and the sudden sense of loneliness will make many people inexplicable. But maybe people with rich life experience don't need any kind of story to lay out. Such a character who lives far away from his homeland and makes a happy life will inevitably have loneliness written on his face, even if he has nothing to do with the narrative of the whole movie. I believe that such a car shadow on the mountain road, the sculpture in the distance through the lens, can indeed make people with rich experience feel the same.
Similar to the different voices caused by this group of sudden shots, "If You Are the One" will also be a movie with praise and bullets. Since the present is mean, why not take out a different terminal and look into the future?
