There is a dilapidated street in Beijing's red brick and green tiles. This is Chen Wen (Xia Yu)’s only asset in this city, and it is shared with his good buddy Li Liang. The treasure of the
town shop is a pair of brightly colored old underwear. It is said that Brother Fa once wore it. On the day Li Liang brought it, he was hung on the wall interestingly by Chen Wen. Used by celebrities, happy!
In his sophomore year, Chen Wen opened such a small shop in order to dream of dropping out of school. At that time, he had nothing.
After so many years, compared with others, what embarrass him is no longer only dreams, but also the love that has never made progress.
Chen Wen’s dream is to be a writer, but the horror novel he wrote is only a fan of Li Liang’s sister Li Jing (Gong Beimi). Li Jing is a tomboy-like girl who is straightforward. She admires Chen Wen's work very much and always believes that he has this talent.
Regarding love, Chen Wen hasn't talked about love a few times, until the unexpected encounter with Liu Rong (played by Li Bingbing), did he finally feel that he has found his "perfect dream lover".
Chen Wen has many buddies, but not many reliable ones. The three children who introduced Liu Rong to him are not reliable, but fortunately they are a typical self-acquaintance, and they automatically put her among friends after seeing Liu Rong a few times. Regardless of whether they would like it or not, they introduced Chen Wen to her, and then said astonishing, "Even if you two know each other, let's go home together!"
Chen Wen couldn't hold back, spraying Liu Rong in front of him. A look.
Fortunately, Liu Rong is different from other Beijing girls. She didn't bother to take Joe, nor did she slapped her ears, kicked Xiao San'er's ass lightly, and opened the matter openly. After
, as Chen Wen said in his confession, he completely fell in. The most classic clip of
is that Chen Wen waited for Liu Rong's call and numbly walked from room to room.
“I’m the most annoyed of this. I forget what I’m going to do as soon as I enter the house. I guess pets live like this for a lifetime.” This sentence of
is really classic, and the director’s cold humor in some small details always makes people Absolutely.
For example, the abrupt buddy named "Xie Tingfeng", and for example, Chen Wen was thinking wildly in the bar later, if the music and lights were turned off while dancing, a group of people would dangle there sweating profusely, how funny they would think .
Finally, Chen Wen waited for Liu Rong's call, and the two began dating, sticking together every day.
Liu Rong is an unknown little actor. He would basically be with him when he was not too busy, but Chen Wen could not find a chance to pierce the window paper until he was stimulated by the big money.
"This is my friend Daming."
"This is Chen Wen, he is in the international antiques business." The two sentences of
seem to be similar, but if you think about it for yourself, you will find that there are still too many introductions to Chen Wen. A somewhat deliberate compliment, close to each other. After
was taken away by Daming Liu Rong halfway through, Chen Wen scratched his head anxiously. But he always felt that Liu Rong was not that kind of girl.He repeated the sentence many times. So even if Liu Rong was not so enthusiastic about him, he still decided to confess.
Li Jing asked Chen Wen why he liked her so much. Chen Wen said that when he was seventeen, he made a list of the lovers of his dreams. Liu Rong seemed to be walking out of it, especially her humor.
Li Jing laughed, and then fell silent, her eyes inexplicable. The
confession trick was provided by the buddy who taught Chen Wen to pick up girls. He stood downstairs in Liu Rong’s dormitory with deafening music, and handed her a sugar ring that had been rushed down in a hurry. .
Liu Rong was not happy.
Chen Wen can't see clearly without God's perspective. There may be some ridicule from the roommate upstairs, or it may be because he really doesn't like it. In short, Liu Rong was angry and cold, and refused his love.
"If I were a girl, I would have fallen in love with me."
Chen Wen, who originally thought Liu Rong must be affectionate to him, finally began to face reality. The plot of the
movie has been intensive, and even a nonsense that seems insignificant has its own role. So Chen Wen picked another loss in the bombing of the men's help group plan that the brothers chatted about-
made Li Jing pretend to be his girlfriend to make Liu Rong jealous.
has to say, the effect is amazing.
Li Jing looks like a crazy wild girl, but she looks sexy and beautiful in her dress, and Liu Wen almost straightens her eyes. He habitually touched her head to show praise, she smiled and squinted, cute and cute. The episode of
brought Chen Wen and Liu Rong back to their former relationship of "friends" because of the confession that the incident had almost dropped to a freezing point. It's just that every time Chen Wen couldn't help but want to confess, he would be interrupted by Liu Rong just right.
One night suddenly, Liu Rong broke into Chen Wen's house uncharacteristically. They leaned against each other, with a peaceful and joyful smile on her face. Liu Rong said, okay if we are good friends for a lifetime, then raised his head and kissed him.
The moment she came up to kiss, Chen Wen was directly overwhelmed by the surprise. He couldn't hear anything, he just knew to hug her and kiss back hard.
The next day, Chen Wen galloped across the street with a smirk, flashed into the mall, bought gifts, and rehearsed the surprise for Liu Rong in his head. If
is not bound by gravity, I am afraid that the whole person will fly lightly. What do you mean by
?
Life ups and downs has always been caught off guard.
Chen Wen turned his head inadvertently, and the girl opposite was leaning against another man with a smile.
is Liu Rong and Daming.
When people are in distress, they are always sad and happy, and there is really no expression that can describe the collapse of the sky at that moment. So Chen Wen just walked over quietly and silently, handed the precious gift that she had held a moment ago into her hand, and then turned and left.
"I decided to live my own life, so love is temporarily sentenced to probation."
The cynical young man finally got discouraged, and he shrank himself in the room, blending in with the depression. The aunts downstairs were still dancing the ding-ding-dong square dance. With that voice, Chen Wenmeng was in the quilt, and it seemed that the aunts had jumped onto the bed!
Li Jing came to see him with breakfast. She said, either live well or die quickly. The girl
always saw him through countless times. It's just that he has been looking at others, never trying to look at her sincerely.
So he could only understand her love after she had been in love for a long, long time, under the reminder that the onlookers finally couldn't stand it, and in the heavy heart in that iron box.
Chen Wen suddenly felt a little at a loss. The girl
is sincere. In order to cater to Liu Rong, Chen Wen said that he likes Budweiser, and Li Jing laughed at him for his favorite Heineken.
The birthday party where he lost his face was also when Li Jing knew that he loved Liu Rong, so he wanted to make preparations for him at Liu Rong's house.
Even when Liu Rong came to look for him, the silly girl was reluctant to leave because he was afraid that he would be injured, and finally found a bad reason to go outside to see the ants.
She asked him before: "Where do you like her?"
Chen Wen: "She meets the characteristics of all my dream lovers, especially her humor."
Chen Wen: "What kind of tea do you drink?"
Li Jing: "Any kind of tea except the police will do."
His identity was by his side for so long, but he realized that it was love.
On the day Li Jing left Beijing, Chen Wengang fired the magazine owner who had been asking him to change. He happily threw the manuscript into the trash can and rushed to the train station.
Li Jing said, you are talented, you should write something from your heart.
Chen Wen smiled and hugged her and said okay, he asked her, "Why don't you think we two have not been well in more than ten years?" Li Jing smiled with tears.
Chen Wen still didn't say that sentence in the end, he stood stubbornly, watching the man go further and further.
He told Li Jing that the train would come back again after leaving.
just, the train is back, but it may not bring people back.
As Chen Wen himself said, if life is like a fairy tale, then he should have a good ending, but this is reality.
At the end of the movie, Chen Wen insisted on writing with a pen. On the white paper, the large characters soaked with ink are extremely clear.
Someone once accused Liu Rong of the potential of a green tea bitch.
The third-line star, she always keeps an ambiguous distance with Chen Wen, and interrupts him appropriately when he is about to confide in him. But Brother Pi suddenly remembered how she was leaning on Chen Wen's shoulders in peace and joy. She said, "We just do this for life, okay?" It looks too cautious.
Actually think about it carefully, Liu Rong seems to have always been alone.
Her work was not as good as she wanted, acting as a small role that died after flying a shot, followed by the same advertising content. Her roommate was mocking when Chen Wen confessed, and the rich Daming looked at her only frivolous. She said, I just wanted to be happy.
Everyone has their own way of living, and Pi Ge thinks that her only fault should be that she knows that there is no Chen Wen on the way she chose, but she still has a gentle and greedy love for him. Since
has chosen fame and fortune, it will hurt others and self if he wants to be sincere.
And until the end, Pi didn't know if Chen Wen had loved Li Jing. Maybe it's love, but fate is playing tricks. Maybe not in love, just used to her being around.
However, like most people in this world, when he finally realized her deep love for him, the girl who was only affected by him with a smile and a face slipped away from him after all.
regretting the person who slipped away from the side while waiting alone, may be the fate of most people. Fortunately, life will eventually let us learn to cherish.
Wish everyone can cherish the person who has not left, and wish everyone can be cherished.
"Waiting Alone", this movie will allow you to watch for a lifetime. If you haven't seen it, go and watch it.
