Even if it is destined to end with regret, why does it start? The movie "Meet You" is to tell such a story. Zhou Can and Yu Jiaoyang are a pair of young lover. They met from high school campus and spent 8 years together. Love allowed them to accompany each other to grow up, and also went to different choices in life.

The director Luo Luo was good at portraying love. He started writing in early 2000. She was called the "Queen of Campus" because of her delicate and moving emotional story. Beginning in 2015, Luo Luo got involved in film and television and completed the transformation of "writing and excellent guidance".

In recent years, her "The leftovers are king," sad flowing into the river "," If the sound does not remember "several love movies have responded well, and the phenomenon and topic of deep social groups based on love is the phenomenon of the entry point.

The film "Meet You" is a real love movie, starring Li Wenhan and Xu Ruoxi, and was released in the Qixi Festival. Luo Luo is called "a very pure love film". Regarding how young people are in love, how to accompany each other, and how to separate with regrets, the process seems to be plain, but it is the ordinary daily life of ordinary lover.

Tell too much love story, but Luo Luo has never been tired. In an exclusive interview with "Blog World", she still has too many things she wants to discuss and express.

The love of ordinary people, unrepaired regrets

In 2019, iQiyi Films and Hengye Films want to make a "movie that reflects the love life of modern young people". They found the direction of the story of the project "Meet You".

Earlier, several movies have been directed, all related to youth love. In the past novels, she always puts love in the social environment and discusses with family, friendship, and affection. After becoming a director, her work will extend the tentacles to farther in addition to love -elderly female marriage, campus violence, depression patients and other social group phenomena.

This time, she felt that the positioning of "Meeting You" can be more pure -aside from a wider issue of discussions, and focuses on depicting the love of a pair of young people itself.

But this "pure" does not leave society, but has the universality of the other side. In the process of collecting materials for the script, the Luo Luo referred to a large number of love stories on friends around and online forums, listening to different people to tell the intimate relationship they are experiencing.

She found that they were all facing conflict, confusion, and contradictions that could overcome and cannot overcome. Especially when falling in love and breaking up, people are often most expressive. It is with these true stories and love moods that Luo Luo began to create the original script of "Meet You".

This is a long -distance running of ordinary people, which can see countless lovers in ordinary life. Zhou Can (Li Wenhan) and Yu Jiaoyang (Xu Ruohan) met in high school. They walked together through the green time, entered the university together, and suffered setbacks together. The pace of life is difficult to reconcile ... The plot of this story is bland, and there is no dog blood drama that derailed, miscarriage, and car accidents. No matter how fierce contradictions are, it is just a common thing in the world.

"Regret" is a theme set by it. From the perspective of Luo Luo, this is a universal topic about love now. "Many lovers at first love each other, but in the end there is no way to come together. The story of breaking up may be more than those who really enter the palace of marriage. many."

She is eager to show a resonance story in the movie. In this story, she can see a pair of people who love each other, why they can't come to the end. "I believe that if they give them a place expressed in their hearts, they are willing to watch a movie related to their own real experience."

The English name of the movie is: Almost Love. Luo Luo said that this name contains a sense of regret of "a little bit" -she played an analogy, "Just like a zipper, as long as the two people are almost a little bit, there is no way to match the trajectory of life perfectly. The boy wanted to say, 'You wait for me again.' But the girl wants to say, 'I have been waiting for you for a long time, I don’t want to wait anymore.' "

"The characters they perform are more real than the script"

Zhou Can and Yu Jiaoyang, the hero and heroine of "Meeting You". The labels originally written by Luo Luo were: Xueba and funny women. In these two characters, she gathered the side of many real characters observed in her life.

Zhou Can is a dull school hegemony, thoughtfully, and always hidden in his heart. Luo Luo described him with a group of contradictory vocabulary- "On the one hand, there is a responsibility, on the other hand, want to escape." Yu Jiaoyang is a female image that is used to creating: Sunshine, proactive, and the guidance in the relationship. Her ancient spirit, weird, carelessness, and the sun is cheerful. There is a kind of character that is almost "whimsical", which is in sharp contrast to Zhou Can.

The names of the two people are "bright sun." They met in high school. Yu Jiaoyang was excluded on campus because of some misunderstandings; Zhou Can was forced to let go of painting dreams, and he was most depressed and confused in life.

On the eyes of youth, they all illuminated each other. Yu Jiaoyang asked Zhou Can to pick up his brushes, and Zhou Can gave Yu Jiaoyang's trust and support without prejudice. "The two people's particularly beautiful encounters allowed them to cherish each other soon." At the starting point of this love, the descendant wanted to give it a moving youth. From campus to society, there is an obvious segmentation line -the two parties still love each other, but it is difficult to not be affected by external pressure. Falling in it has invested a lot of observations for modern love life. "For example, because of some of the invisible pressure given by this society. Boys always want to make some achievements in their careers and wait for your good material conditions to promise your good material conditions Talking about getting married again. "The inconsistent pace of the two sides often allows those who love each other to gradually.

The casting is an extremely "metaphysical" process. From the perspective of Luo Luo, the casting process of "Meet You" is "When you see this boy and girl, there will be a voice in his heart," Hey, that is him. "

When Xu Ruoyu came to the interview, the eyebrows accidentally fell off and cut it stupidly to the neck. At the time, Luo thought: "This girl is a bit different. Like the one in the script, there will always be some strange and strange things.

"That night, she agreed with the producer and producer: it was her.

Li Wenhan surprised Luo Luo. "He is handsome in appearance, and he is very big in his heart. He is also very real and grounded." Luo Luo further explained this feeling, "When you feel that when you meet him, he will be very polite to him, he will be very polite It will also be very open -minded, he will also express some ideas with you, saying that I really want to fight for this role. "So she quickly determined that Li Wenhan can perform the role of Zhou Can, and the youthful sense of youth he has. It is suitable for the early high school stage, and his personality and grounding are very suitable for Zhou Can's workplace positioning in the later period.

In the subsequent shooting, the two actors also gave her more surprises. During the shooting, she and the two actors discussed around each scene, making them closer to the role, and also drawn some real traits from them, adding vitality to the "paper man" in the original script. From the perspective of Luo Luo, "they let the two characters originally on the paper become more real and lively."

In the script, Yu Jiaoyang is a "funny woman". In addition to the great performance of Xu Ruoyu's performance, it also gave a girl a girl's shyness and moving in the face of her lover. "Xu Ruoyi is in the state of the girl in the face of the boy's feelings. I think the interpretation is particularly good. It is much richer than when I do the script. "

Li Wenhan expanded Zhou Can's multi -facetability. Luo Luo felt that he was writing a script from the perspective of women. And Li Wenhan will take the initiative to discuss with her and give the truth to this role. "When he becomes a true and specific person, even if it is a school hegemony, it is impossible to laugh at the face of 24 hours. Li Wenhan is in In many places, some boys are unique to interact with girls with some small movements and skills, which gives him real emotions. "

Li Wenhan as Zhou Can

The most impressive scene was the sunrise by the beach -in that scene, Zhou Can and Yu Jiaoyang faced the rising sun rising by the beach, promising the common future. Because the sunlight is only 40 minutes, once the sun is completely rising, it cannot be filmed, so the shooting time of this play is particularly tense. At 3 am on the same day, all the creators went to the beach and hurriedly hurried the time to rack the machine.

Fortunately, Tiangong is beautiful. On the day of the clear sky, there was no wind, and the blue sea surface was as flat as mirrors. Li Wenhan and Xu Ruoxi began to shoot first when the sky was before. After shooting twice, the sky was gradually bright, and the picture in the monitor was fell: a pair of boys and girls stood by the sea, and there was a power windmill in the distance slowly rotating. Finally, the sun rose, a golden color.

She was moved by this picture, "This picture was established, the play was established, and the couple of" Sigh of the Suns "was established."

"We need love more"

At the end of the story of "Meet You", the scene is still by the sea. The sky is still beautiful, the sky is clear, the sun is gentle, and the sea is blue. A girl recalls the years of youth and recalls the years with the boy.

The interpretation of this ending is: "How do I summarize, we have gone through for so many years, what is it meaning to me today?" Many memories seem to be to outsiders, in fact, to ourselves and and Past time.

It feels that it is this bland but intriguing ending that it has the effect of "healing". In the first half of the film, the two spent the best and most dreamy youth on campus. In the second half of the film, under the discipline of real life, they had hurt and regretful. They eventually missed each other, but they still blessed each other and felt the way that they had worked together.

"I hope it can comfort some people who regret in love in detail and plot. I hope it is a movie that can truly cure the audience." Luo Luo told "Blog World".

Falling likes youth love movies. She feels, "Youth is beautiful, love is beautiful, and movies are beautiful, so youth love movies are beautiful."

Director

In a sense, love movies are simple structure- "Most love movies are nothing more than, how do two people fall in love, and then how to get along, eventually come together, or not to come together." Luo Luo laughed with a smile. "But in the seemingly simple, it is difficult to make, and everyone has its own experience and views on love." From the perspective The most difficult, but the most magnificent topic. Among the 1.4 billion people, why is I see you, and then do you see me? Why can we get along? Or why do we get along? Some things that are particularly interesting can be excavated. "

A few years ago, Luo Luo once felt that people's demand for love was reduced. "Before the Internet, it was quite popular that we had a career and we had money." After the epidemic, she felt that people's demand for love rose again. " Perhaps because of these uncertain reasons, everyone will have some suppression effects in spirit. You will need a spiritual communication. You hope that someone can give you a full hug to help you resolve all loneliness of all loneliness. . Just like you do not eat takeaway alone after get off work, but open the door at one go, you can hug someone first. "

Thinking about it, after the end of "Meeting You", we will continue to have sex movies, "Because this topic we face is really interesting. It contains various rational and irrational emotions of humans. I once quoted a sentence written in "The Art of Love" in "The Art of Love" in the beginning of the script -there is no activity like love, as much as love and expectation, but with regular failure End. Love is an art, and it requires an ability. It can be discussed and learned by movies to make me feel interested. "
