The Chinese version of "Bouquet" is not available yet, but two days ago, sir took the time to watch a popular domestic romance film after watching " Dune ".

The story is adapted from one of the short stories "Wang Jinjin I Lost Twice" in Zheng Zhi's book "I'm Waiting for You at the End of Time".

has a rating of only 6.3 on Douban. Popular comments are:

is obviously talking about reality.
However, the effect presented has nothing to do with reality.

Domestic "Bouquet"? It doesn't deserve
Let's start with this story.
is the same as "Bouquet", this is a story about people staying together because of the same preferences.
but the difference is.
"Lost" has an additional "love at first sight" setting.
In the college entrance examination examination room four years ago, Bai Xiaoyu (played by Tan Jianci) suddenly had a stomachache. When he handed in the paper in advance and went to the toilet, he accidentally knocked over Wang Jinjin (played by Zhang Jingyi)'s desk, causing her answer sheet to be scratched. A very long line.
Then, they fell in love with each other at first sight.
four years later.
The two met again at a graduation job fair.
was originally a candidate in an examination room. At this time, one of them was looking for a job, while the other inexplicably became a recruiter for a company. (Graduate early?)
Then in the bar, they learned that they both liked Edgar Allan Poe.
The two of them got together that night!
The next day, Wang Jinjin took Bai Xiaoyu back to her hometown of Haicheng to meet her mother.
has grown by leaps and bounds.
What can I say? Sir was confused when he saw the love story. He fell in love at first sight just because he met him once. Are you together just because you like the same author?
You must know that Edgar Allan Poe is not a niche writer.
still remember what Bernard Shaw said: "The United States has produced two great writers-Edgar Allan Poe and Mark Twain." If this is the reason for falling in love, then the number of lovers must be at least a million, right?
How is such a plot handled in "Bouquet"?
They first discovered that they liked each other and knew Mamoru Oshii personally.
And this is just the premise.
What's more important is that they have the same hobbies in all aspects: wearing the same sneakers, reading the same novels and movies, and the same hobby of using movie tickets to make bookmarks.
The heroine said this when she arrived at the hero's house:
My bookshelf is almost exactly the same.
Only such a coincidence will make the audience believe that maybe they are really destined to be different in this world.
instead of like "Lost".
coquettishly recited the original text of Edgar Allan Poe's novel in the taxi.
But no matter what, the story directions of the two are generally similar. They both talk about the vulnerability of love in the face of reality .
In "Lost", " career is out of sync with " -
Bai Xiaoyu opened an escape room with his friends, but due to an accident that disfigured a customer, he had to sell the store in order to compensate, and his career plummeted.

Bai Xiaoyu opened an escape room with his friends, but due to an accident that disfigured a customer, he had to sell the store in order to compensate, and his career plummeted.
On the other side, Wang Jinjin gave up her novel dream and turned to literary planning in the film and television industry. She was promoted to producer because she was appreciated by an actor.
one is going downhill.
one starts to shine.
This contrast also led to cracks in their love.
Bai Xiaoyu felt that Wang Jinjin was drifting away and abandoning her original dreams and pursuits, while Wang Jinjin felt that Bai Xiaoyu was standing still, making her always cautious for fear of hurting him.
Finally, the two had a big quarrel over a small matter of not bringing the key.
and parted ways.
And what about "Bouquet"? What they are talking about is " spirit is not synchronized with " -
There are no successful legends here. The male protagonist has to go to work, which mostly brings about spiritual deviation.
The heroine has always insisted on herself.
Earlier we mentioned that the novels they like are similar.
but later.
One detail is that in the bookstore, the heroine saw a new book by a pure literature author that they both liked, and she happily wanted to run over and let the hero read it.
found that he had picked up the books on success.
makes sir feel the same.
The game that the male protagonist originally played after get off work was "The Legend of Zelda", but as work pressure gradually eroded, he finally had no choice but to put the switch on the shelf and turn on his mobile phone to play games like Gem Match.
When a person's spiritual world changes completely.
The foundation of their original love also quietly collapsed.
so you see.
Although "Lost" seems to be a sexual version of "Bouquet", in essence, the two directions are completely different. The quality of
is also very different.
Especially when the former has not even laid the foundation of "love".
At least sir was on pins and needles while watching the movie.

Domestic Love Collection Dacheng
"Lost" is currently rated 6.2 on Douban, which is slightly lower than the original work, but to Sir, it is still a bit high.
not only because of the comparison with "Bouquet".
This is because in this we can see the common problem of almost all domestic romance films, which are unabashed and try to cope with the audience through clichés.
For example, the "love at first sight" in the examination room mentioned earlier -
Why do two people fall in love with each other?
here can basically be summed up in two words:
" depends on face ".
Logically speaking, if a person can’t even hold his bladder, he obviously has no time to care about the “scenery” around him, and if a person’s table is knocked over by someone rushing to the toilet, it is obvious that he will not feel love. of.
Then there can only be one explanation:
Both of them were deeply attracted by each other's appearance.
So much so that the two of them didn’t see each other for four years, and the male protagonist couldn’t forget him and would never fall in love. The female protagonist also recognized him at a glance as the man she had a romantic relationship with back then.
The sense of reality is minimal.
Or, the literature that is common in domestic romance films -
is filled with a lot of self-movement.
has such a plot:
Wang Jinjin and Bai Xiaoyu separated, one joined the group to film, and the other returned to his hometown to open a branch. This separation means that the two of them will most likely break up.
When they separated, both of them were angry.
One is counting tens in his mind, thinking that after the other person turns around, he will pounce on him, and the other is also counting dozens in his mind, thinking that after counting, the other person will try to persuade him to stay, and then he will stay.
No one spoke first.
Please, what else can this setting be besides " narcissistic "?
is both pretentious and confusing.
Even, we have seen the common suspended in domestic love -
Just think you are talking about the career gap.
But isn’t the word “career” too childish for you?
When the two of them first got together, they had this setting: the male protagonist earned a salary of 6,800 yuan, but rented a house in Beijing worth 4,500 yuan.
sir knows you want to say that the two of them are poor.
But do you think this setting is really in line with normal people’s psychology?
The heroine’s path to success is more casual.
She was originally a literary planner, but later because of a few words, she persuaded a big-name actor to play the second female lead, and was later promoted to a producer.
reaches the sky in one step.
You can say that maybe there are such outrageous examples in reality, but since you want to highlight the heroine's ability, you can at least let the audience see it in your speech and behavior, right? Not just a few simple words:
is the second female lead, but she is very good. When
sir saw this sentence, he thought that the heroine had learned to cheat like others.
at the end of the day. A movie like
is more like an AI-based work based on the big data of domestic love. The love is abstract, the script is suspended, sensationalism and hypocrisy fly together, exaggeration and outrageousness dance together.
You don’t even understand it until the end.
Why is there a scene where the male protagonist’s eyesight becomes weak? Why does the female protagonist suddenly get back together with the male protagonist? Why is it Edgar Allan Poe instead of Su Dongpo? Everything in
is a symbol.
includes love.

Castles in the Air of Love
Of course, you can say that the fundamental reason is that romance movies are no longer popular nowadays.
is like previous years.
" If You Are the One " " 33 Days of Love " " Beijing Meets Seattle " not only had high box office, but also had a good Douban score, but later the reputation became worse, and there were also " Your Wedding " and " Me" Movies like "Let's Be Together " and " So Many Years " have high box office.
Look back at last year.
In domestic romance, only big IPs such as "The Ex 4" and "Twinkle Twinkle Star" have achieved success at the box office.
So the audience doesn’t believe in love? There is some truth to the statement
.
After all, under the pressure of reality, people would rather "welcome the God of Wealth" than just "Valentine's Day".
but.
The more important reason here is that is actually the creator who took a step earlier and no longer believes in love.
Take "Lost" as an example.
After watching the full film, we will find that even in the scene where two people are kissing, it is difficult to see love in the eyes of the male and female protagonists.
There is only "calm" here.
It will make people clearly feel the traces of the characters performing for the camera.
Of course there is a problem with the acting skills of the actors.
But more importantly, it is a question of the director’s requirements and understanding.
For example, when talking about the role of Wang Jinjin, the director once said something that was difficult for Sir to understand, that is, "she will make it easier for people to believe in love."
Is there anyone who is born to believe in love?
sir doesn't think so.
Love is inherently indefinable, ambiguous and complex, and it requires repeated exploration by the creator.
and categorically say that someone is born to believe in love.
is not so much blind confidence.
It is better to say that he himself does not want to find out what love is, which is a kind of laziness.
Yes.
It’s not that we no longer believe in love, but that domestic love has been a castle in the air for too long. The creator of
no longer ponders the word love.
Otherwise you can't explain why Wong Kar-wai's "花" can still become such a hit when we care less and less about love. The relationship between Po and three women can also be talked about for a long time.
He can't stop ng.
What I want is not so much the beauty of the character, but rather, finding a feeling.
A kind of ambiguity emanating from the eyes to the body.
Something that can be defined as love.
Unfortunately, among current domestic romance film directors, fewer and fewer people believe in love.
Just like what Peter Chan said:
"Nowadays when directors make romance films, there is always only the contradiction between the male and female protagonists. I think it will definitely not look good, because there is no analysis in such romance films, and there is nothing to shoot. It is all based on feelings. Very empty."
So they can only rely on "sensation" or "sense of ritual" to tinker.
Use slogans sentence by sentence.
turns the word love into a "hard setting".
And for such a romance film, who can Do you still really believe it?
Speaking of this, sir thought of the ending of "Bouquet".
The difference from "Lost" is that when the two were trying to get back together, "Bouquet" saw the young couple at the table next to them, and finally Realized that their so-called deep love is just self-movement.
After all, it is not reality that kills love.
It is the difference between you and me that is magnified by reality.
So in the end.
After the two met on the street, they still share the same feelings. Frequently waving hands and saying goodbye to each other.
We don’t need to be moved by ourselves.
Even if we are still 100% in tune with each other.
And this kind of dignity.
has surpassed the numerous forced reunions in domestic films.
