Perhaps many people have watched "If You Are the One" and "If You Are the One 2" when they were young.
Because of Feng Xiaogang's unique "Feng's comedy" style, these two films have occupied a place in the film industry and achieved both box office and word-of-mouth success.
However, every director has a bottleneck period.
Therefore, Feng Xiaogang has been in the shadow of the film industry for a period of time. He was even compared with many younger directors. It is the same as before when "the talent was exhausted". No matter how he has his own style and strength, he will follow suit. As the heat ebbs, it is forgotten.
However, after watching Feng Xiaogang's latest film "If You Are the One 3", everyone will know that Feng Xiaogang is not exhausted.
His strength has not faded at all. This movie is very groundbreaking. Compared with the "blind date" scene in "If You Are the One", this movie is full of Feng Xiaogang's innovative style.
First of all, the movie poster surprised many people.
is somewhat similar to the old Japanese comic movie posters. The posters are full of bright colors, and the fonts are red, orange, yellow, green, blue and other colors. Such exaggerated features have changed the style of director Feng Xiaogang in the past.
Not to mention that at the beginning of the movie, everyone saw a very magical story. This is not a vigorous youth love story.
Presumably, all the vigorous elements are present in "If You Are the One 1" and "If You Are the One 2", so the director focused more on a deep-seated marriage issue.
Moreover, all the protagonists in the movie are no longer young. They are middle-aged and have experienced too many vicissitudes. They can no longer love each other as passionately as young people.
Many people feel that this movie is like Feng Xiaogang's work, but with more features and a more gorgeous tone, like a romantic fantasy from a middle-aged person.
When the temples are dyed white and the scenery is dyed with youth, everyone will find more unique thoughts in it.
The lives of middle-aged people can be similar, but similarity does not mean empathy.
Therefore, in order to avoid making a dull and stereotyped story, Feng Xiaogang also used a lot of element settings.
For example, it integrates technological elements such as bionic humans, smart butlers, and drone delivery, making this movie suddenly full of futuristic science fiction.
Different people have different feelings about the configuration in the movie. Some people think it is simply a "bad science fiction movie".
But some people also think that the movie itself is good.
's current focus is on love, which is also the core soul of the work, and science fiction only makes the movie more unique and connotative, without feeling like it is superfluous.
Another advantage of this TV series is that it explores an issue about love and human nature.
You can never identify an android with the same appearance as another person.
It's not because the two are not similar, but because even if they have too many similarities in appearance, their connotations cannot be exactly the same.
Neither the connotation nor the emotion can be replaced by an android. This is not the origin of love. The rhythm of love is between two living people, not between a living person and an android. There are many emotions. It's simply irreplaceable.
Unfortunately, "If You Are the One 3" still has some flaws.
Many viewers don’t think this movie is not good to watch, but rather feel that it is somewhat “deliberately pretentious”.
The so-called "high-end" is not enough to cater to the market, and it does not perfectly meet the needs of movie viewing. Under the beautiful pink-blue tone, it also incorporates some weird elements of current affairs news.
For example, the husband has been waiting for ten years and is unwilling to move. These cases have lowered the plot style of the entire TV series and are excessively vulgar and gimmicky.
Of course, there is a saying that "flaws cannot hide the advantages".
From this movie, people can see that after experiencing the interference of the audience and the incentive competition of the market, Feng Xiaogang finally used poetic language to interpret love and marriage, leading his movie to a fate destined to be polarizing.
Some people can appreciate it, while others say they can’t.
This is not so much a change Feng Xiaogang made after seeing through human nature, but rather a trade-off he made for himself under the rapids of the market.
put his literary and artistic dreams into play in this movie. Although "If You Are the One 3" has ended, Feng Xiaogang's literary and artistic dreams are still not over.
