"If You Are the One" also doesn't have any surprises, and the script is familiar, like a copycat version of the Taiwanese movie "Marriage Revelation". Putting these two films together, I would come to a strange conclusion: commercial director Chen Guofu has a better sense of humor than comedy veteran Feng Xiaogang. Perhaps, many people will disagree with my opinion. In the movie theater, I was bored, but the man and woman next to me burst out laughing. However, I always feel that it is the credit of Ge You and Fan Wei, which is entirely brought about by the performance, and has nothing to do with the director.
The whole movie is lackluster, except for one detail that I can't forget. In Hokkaido, Ge You bid farewell to Wu Sangyi, an old friend whom he hadn't seen for more than ten years. Ge You took out a wad of money and said, I didn't bring anything to Japan this time, I'll give these to my sister-in-law and children. Wu Sang declined, but Ge You insisted on putting down the money, saying, "Money doesn't matter to me, I just lack friends." After that, Wu Sang drove back, singing songs on the road, and suddenly shivered and cried. This is the part that strikes me as incredible: a big man driving, singing, crying. It's sensational, of course I know it, but it's too long, too procrastinated, and very unusual. When Wu Sang was crying, I closed my eyes embarrassedly, and goosebumps all over.
Although I don't like Feng Xiaogang, I also know that he occasionally has the urge to "I dedicate my youth to you", but I still can't understand how he arranges it like this. It's sticky and not like his style. After the show, on the way home, I kept thinking about it. Suddenly, I remembered Wang Shuo's words before: "Feng Xiaogang has always treated me very well. Among the directors I work with, he has given me a lot of money."
Fireworks burst, firecrackers blared. It turns out that the secret is here, "Money doesn't matter to me, I just lack friends" is Feng Xiaogang's self-approval. Wu Sangche got slower and slower, sang deeper and deeper, and shed more tears. This is the emotional expression of a man who was moved. Feng Xiaogang was really looking forward to seeing his friends being touched by him, and he liked to see his friends being touched by him, so he insisted on not cutting it and playing the whole thing. He slowly appreciates with us, he savors with us, and he tells us what the greatest pride in a man's life is—that is, to make another man cry for himself.
Moved, what the main theme of the big words, moved China, moved the world, moved all mankind. We hope to impress the rulers, that is, they want them to raise their hands, not to suppress everywhere; the rulers want us to be moved, that is to see our loyalty and obedience, not tossing around. Why does Feng Xiaogang want his friends to be moved? He paid the money, his friends were moved, and he himself was moved. He saw his own kindness and righteousness, and also saw that others had taken on this unrepayable debt of love.
Inspiration is a reward. When my efforts can't make me laugh, I want others to cry, which is touching.
