"If You Are the One 3" is finally released!
Qin Fen and Liang Xiaoxiao smiled and said goodbye to the audience together, expressing their gratitude with the most sincere intentions. They did not deliberately sensationalize, but I laughed and shed tears.
This difference is so sincere, just like the concept of "treat each other with sincerity, don't disturb if you are the one" that the movie has always emphasized, which makes people red-eyed.
After watching "If You Are the One 3", I suddenly discovered that the "If You Are the One" trilogy is actually a complete closed loop. The
trilogy corresponds to encounter, love and marriage respectively. It is a complete love story and a complete life.
Feng Xiaogang spent 15 years telling a deep love story. The backside of Feng's comedy is also a tragic one.
"If You Are the One 1" starts with a "blind date". Qin Fen, played by Ge You, is all serious in his irregularity, and full of sincerity under his laughter, making most of the absurd plots in the film both hilarious and in line with the truth. sense.
For example, the first person who came for a blind date was an old male friend Jianguo (played by Feng Yuanzheng). Later, there was a salesman selling cemeteries, a Taiwanese woman with a child in her belly, and a stock friend whose life was stock trading... Or later, with Xiao I accidentally walked into a Japanese funeral in Hokkaido, and went to the Four Beauties Tavern with my friend U-san to have fun. However, the photo in front of the pub was taken forty years ago, and now the four beauties are almost 300 years old together. .
Until Xiaoxiao left the passionate Qin Fen to commit suicide by jumping into the sea in order to commemorate her dead love, the tragic core of this story was completely exposed: what you asked for was not available.
Xiaoxiao couldn't get what she wanted from her ex-boyfriend, and Qin Fen couldn't get what she wanted from Xiaoxiao.
Not all encounters have results, not all starts come true, not all love is responded to, and nine out of ten times life is unsatisfactory. It is the normal state of life to ask for something but not get it. This is the true meaning of the hardship of life.
Fortunately, at the end of the film, Xiaoxiao was rescued by Qin Fen, and the gears of fate began to turn in a new round.
"If You Are the One 2" opens with "Farewell", which is also unexpected and full of Feng's humor.
Li Xiangshan and Mango's divorce ceremony was very formal, and every aspect was the opposite of the wedding ceremony. The divorce vows were sworn over money, the rings exchanged were meant to get back what you had, the word "囍" was cut, and the dove was let go, but that's it! They just let each other go.
Although the ceremony was grand and joyful, it was still difficult to hide the helplessness of separation. In life, we often have to use lively scenes to cover up the sadness and desolation of parting, so that we can force ourselves to give up and leave our original life. Qin Fen, who presided over the ceremony, and Xiaoxiao, who was looking for marriage, couldn't help but feel touched when they faced this scene, so they decided to have a trial marriage.
It's easy to fall in love but hard to get along. Qin Fen and Xiaoxiao's trial marriage was warm but full of twists and turns. As time went by, Mango found a new love, but Li Xiangshan unfortunately suffered from a terminal illness. When people are about to die, they look down on money and material desires. They spend 500,000 yuan on a bottle of wine and spend money like water, but they just want to get drunk. This time, they really say goodbye.
Compared with divorce, death is the real separation.
How small and helpless people are in the face of the ancient power of birth, old age, illness and death. A ceremony, a farewell party, tells how many joys and sorrows, partings and separations, life and death. This is life, a life of sorrow and joy that cannot be escaped whether it is successful and outstanding or ordinary.
No one could have imagined that the late Li Xiangshan would appear in "If You Are the One 3" in this way. After Xiangshan's death, part of his ashes turned into a green radish that continued to grow. Twenty years later, it is still there in Qin Fen's home. It's lush and lush, not a word of sadness is mentioned, but there are tears everywhere.
The "comedy effect" of Feng's comedies is not presented through physical incoordination or characters making fools of themselves, but by bringing "joy" into tragic situations, where one sadness and one happiness collide to create hilarious jokes. After the audience smiles knowingly, they will discover the essence of tragedy that Feng Xiaogang explores in the guise of comedy.
Therefore, "If You Are the One 3" has great stamina. It is obviously a comedy, but it makes me cry all the time.
In this era of rapid change, new technologies are emerging and AI is capable of many tasks, but love still seems to be unable to be replaced by artificial intelligence. The plot of the bionic intelligent man in "If You Are the One 3" appropriately highlights this point. love is the greatest sincerity of the times, and it is also the element of the series that best touches the current significance.
Feng Xiaogang's insistence on self-expression and his love for the film itself are his return after 13 years with Ge You Shu Qi in "If You Are the One 3". This is the end of his love for Qin Fen and Shu Qi. It is also a confession to the audience and a grand farewell to himself. Although this persistence is clumsy, it is sincere.
The "sincerity" in "If You Are the One" actually has three meanings: the first part is like orange, which is the beginning of warmth, the bright sunshine orange; the second part is sincere sincerity, feeling the contradictions in life in a trial marriage, But be honest with each other and love each other sincerely; the third part is like a journey of mountains and rivers, the scenery is a journey, saying goodbye is also a journey, maybe meeting someone is a journey, and being alone is also a journey, but A journey is a lifetime.
Although the spiritual core expressed in the "If You Are the One" series is profound and sad, it is all in the form of comedy, making everyone laugh and move to tears. never expresses suffering. This humanistic care is touching and more thought-provoking.
Life is impermanent, and the only thing that can keep people grounded is a firm self. Life is short, and only true love can last forever. At the end of this year and the beginning of the year, I will definitely go to a game with "If You Are the One 3".
