Yang Zi , Fan Chengcheng "Long Time Love" is a hit. The male and female protagonists are not anxious about their love, but it makes the audience extremely anxious. The story of the supporting character Lan Yifei also makes the audience fall into suspense and brain-burning. One-third of the plot of
has passed, and the audience is still confused: is Lan Yifei alive or dead?
If Lan Yifei has passed away, she has "responded" to Huang Yingzi many times, and the communication between the two is mutual. But if she is still alive, many plot points reveal that something is "wrong".
After carefully reviewing the foreshadowing laid by the screenwriter, you will find that Lan Yifei is probably the biggest "knife" in this drama. Huang Yingzi's world is missing a psychologist "He Dun", and the world of the six-person group has always been full of regrets. Forward.
Illogical "existence"
Starting from the first episode of "Long Time Love", no one except Huang Yingzi has actively mentioned Lan Yifei in the adult plot, and the relationship between Huang Yingzi and Lan Yifei also has many illogicalities. .
In the story from Huang Yingzi's perspective, Lan Yifei contacted her on the phone and had a hasty meeting in the hotel.
This shows that Huang Yingzi has Lan Yifei’s phone number. Similarly, he should also have a vx number. But every time Huang Yingzi takes the initiative to “contact” Lan Yifei, it is through email, a popular contact method more than 10 years ago.
In the Hangtiancheng old friend group, there were only four people in the group at first. Jiang Yi and Lan Yifei were missing. Jiang Yi lost contact after going abroad in 2010. At that time, vx had not yet appeared. It was normal for him to be absent from the group.
Lan Yifei, who has always been in contact with Huang Yingzi, is also not in the group, which is very strange.
Initially, in Episode 7, it was thought that Lan Yifei might be avoiding Guan Chao, who became her "ex-boyfriend", but the subsequent plot revealed that Guan Chao has been taking care of Lan Yifei's grandmother, which shows that Lan Yifei and Guan Chao are not the same. There is no contradiction.
If Lan Yifei was still alive, unless her job was extremely special, the handling of these contact information would be unreasonable. The most important thing is that after Jiang Yi entered the friend group, Huang Yingzi said that all 6 people were there.
There are obviously only 5 people in the group, why do you say there are 6 people?
True and Fantasy "Meeting"
In the first ten episodes of the plot, adult Huang Yingzi and Lan Yifei met twice. Once she informed Lan Yifei that after Guan Chao got married, she received Lan Yifei's letter in a taxi. Call her and ask her to meet at the hotel.
Pay attention to one detail. Before Huang Yingzi received the call, the camera specifically showed her falling asleep in a taxi. At this time, the taxi was about to enter the tunnel. After
and Lan Yifei parted ways, the camera cut to a distant view of the taxi, which had just exited the tunnel.
Is the director preferring scenes on the protagonist’s journey, or is he hinting that the meeting between Huang Yingzi and Lan Yifei is actually just a dream? Watch it a few times and you'll find that the latter is more likely. The exchange between Lan Yifei and Huang Yingzi in the
story is also very thought-provoking.
Huang Yingzi told Lan Yifei that she felt "unwanted", which was what she felt in her heart, but she never dared to express these words in front of others, and she always tried hard to show that she was living a good life.
Lan Yifei encouraged Huang Yingzi to gather others together and told Huang Yingzi that he was needed by his friends. These happened to be what Lan Yingzi longed for most in his heart. The conversation between the two was what Huang Yingzi was most helpless and longed for.
can be understood to mean that Lan Yifei understands Huang Yingzi best, or that Huang Yingzi does not need to disguise herself only in front of Lan Yifei, because Lan Yifei is different from other friends, she is still the Yifei she was when she was a child.
Only in front of our childhood friends, we don’t have to hold on to our adult dignity.
The second time the two met was at Guan Chao's wedding.
The camera flashed, and Huang Yingzi and Lan Yifei looked at each other. From this shot, the audience could easily see that this was Lan Yifei in Huang Yingzi's fantasy. This time "meeting" Huang Yingzi was the same as the last time, with tears in his eyes.
At the wedding, Guan Chao said he was "consummated" because his friends gathered together, but when others were busy with work and couldn't come, why did he regret that when Lan Yifei couldn't come, he was consummated?
Huang Yingzi's "fictional" world
Objectively speaking, the wedding scene clearly hints at Lan Yifei's death. What mainly affects the audience's judgment is the "connection" between Huang Yingzi and Lan Yifei, as well as the "agreement" of everyone.
When Huang Yingzi mentioned that Yifei was pursuing her dream abroad, her grandmother agreed with her statement. When Huang Yingzi mentioned Yifei's attitude towards her father's news, Jiang Yi and her relationship were all based on Lan Yifei's presence in the world. of.
These performances prove that Lan Yifei is still alive and can become an excellent dancer as she dreamed of when she was a child.
but pay attention to details.
When Huang Yingzi and his grandmother talked about Lan Yifei, the camera deliberately did not show Guan Chao and Zhuang Yuan.
Lan Yifei replied to Huang Yingzi's email and mentioned that the big explosion made her meet her friends, but recalling the plot, Lan Yifei and Huang Yingzi have been neighbors since childhood, and only Jiang Yi met on the day of the explosion.
From these foreshadowings, it can be deduced that on the topic of Lan Yifei, others have been cooperating with Huang Yingzi and do not really agree with the "current situation" of Lan Yifei in her description. The person who corresponded with her was probably Jiang Yi.
Huang Yingzi understands the various "fictional" worlds of idol Ding Ye best. She restored the "ventriloquism" invented by Ding Ye in his book. The book says:
"I like to make up things, such as a book." , an ideal, a friend..."
She said:
"Fiction does not mean deception. On the contrary, fiction constructs a kind of reality, a poetic reality."
In literary creation, she resonates with her idols because of the beauty of "fiction". In real life, will she use fiction to make up for her regrets? Over time, has she regarded fiction as reality?
is very likely.
6 group, five people's childhood dreams were severely beaten by reality. Huang Yingzi's insistence on fairness and justice needs to compromise with reality, Jiang Yi's freedom and freedom are coerced by capital, and Fang Mingyu's comfortable life has become a daily life of social animals.
Guan Chao failed to become a champion athlete, nor did he get to the end of his first love. Zhuang Yuan chose a major he didn't like, so even his graduation thesis was very difficult.
Only Lan Yifei is living the career she dreamed of when she was a child, working hard for her favorite dance, having countless world tours, and looking forward to the future in love.
Maybe it’s not that Lan Yifei is too lucky, but that Lan Yifei’s current situation is exactly what Huang Yingzi imagined.
Fang Mingyu said that everyone has grown up, but Huang Yingzi is still stuck in the past. Maybe it does not mean that she attaches too much importance to childhood friendship, but that she has never been able to get over the tragedy of Lan Yifei.
Her friends couldn't bear to expose her fantasy, so they tried hard to maintain her fantasy, but they were also worried about her fantasy.
Because the fictional world is destined to be fictional, Huang Yingzi will have to face reality sooner or later. Facing the reality that Lan Yifei has left, she needs a "psychiatrist" to pull out the scars hidden in her heart and heal them. The "psychologist"
may be part-time with all the friends, or may be assisted by Jiang Yi and Ding Ye.
No matter who breaks through this layer of paper first, both the audience and Huang Yingzi need to face this "big knife" of the plot. Love is the sugar and future in Huang Yingzi's world. Lan Yifei, Huang Yingzi and the group of six cannot escape the regretful past. .
