Movies for "2022 Shanghai Coffee Culture Week"? It's not difficult to think about it.

When I was young, the cafe is almost extinct in the streets of Shanghai. Rao is like this, the term "coffee" will emerge when chatting between the neighborhood. Remember clearly that the aunt who lived next door was a tender female worker in the third class. Go to work at 10:20 in the evening and get off work until 6:20 the next day. Auntie said that the most difficult for the middle of the night in the middle of the night. You must drink a cup of coffee tea to top get off work. Seeing me very curious about coffee tea, my aunt deliberately took out a piece of Shanghai coffee factory from the cabinet to see a piece of block that was better than the brick chocolate in the cabinet. Open the water and stir well. Do you want to drink? "I know that I can't eat other people's things, but the 7 cents a piece of coffee tea is too tempting a little girl, I nodded slightly ... Sweet, bitter, and bitter again Unbearable.

Although that coffee tea and coffee are two things that are not at the same time, the "coffee" first experience it gives me, it has made me not like to drink coffee so far. The huge coffee hobby group -57.9 cafes per square kilometer in Nanjing West Road Street, Jing'an District, Shanghai, can see a cafe in almost a dozen steps. After the addition of vinegar tea, Jun did not see every morning, holding a cup of coffee into the company has become the habit of young people.

I heard that the movie "Four Seasons Cafe" created by the famous Shanghai writer Chen Danyan's participation in the filming has been killed, and I remember that I could see the film as soon as possible to solve the doubts that I had been in my heart for a long time. By reading Chen Danyan's work accumulated in the understanding of the female writer in Shanghai, I believe she will definitely give the answer I want in the film.

As a result, it was not just Chen Danyan for me.

"Four Seasons Cafe" is a film co -directed by Wang Xiaolong, Zhou Hongbo, Chen Danyan, Shu Haolun, Yang Yang, Aimati Mc Mcyati, Jin Jianan, and Yang Yan. Coffee and ice cream are combined by 7 short films including coffee and ice cream "cold extract", "cafe" and "rich people's Changle". After admiring these 7 short films one by one, my biggest feeling is that several directors did not have a perfunctory attitude because I did not do a proposition composition of "2022 Shanghai Coffee Culture Week". The genre adopted by only 7 short films can "read" until they repeatedly pondering the relationship between Shanghai and coffee before they chose their own expression. Therefore, after the film, the "Four Seasons Cafe", "People's Cafe" and "The Music of the People" are short documentary. Although the self -directed and self -directed "whistle" is difficult to discern for a while, it is the most stamina.

Jin Jianan's documentary short film "Fumin Changle" is the opening scene of "Four Seasons Cafe". The short film cleverly produces the names of the two roads and Changle Road with two roads and Changle Road. In addition to setting the tone of the entire movie "Fugu and Changle", this name also partially answered the long -standing question that I had accumulated in my heart. Why coffee became a necessity for Shanghai citizens. This short documentary with the chief person in the community cafe as the narrator, by shooting the consumer groups of a community cafes located in a community cafe located at the intersection of Fumin Road and Changle, show these elderly people who should not get close to coffee. Coffee demand. Of course, a auntie is because the daughter particularly likes the coffee coffee coffee to bring a cup to buy two cups of coffee every day. More aunts and uncle are sitting into this small cafe to satisfy herself. Essence These uncle and aunts who are carefully calculated in their lives, they will not be afraid to bring containers to drink coffee in order to save a few yuan, but this does not affect their idle sitting in the cafe to drink coffee to discuss the fun of the parents in the short -term in the short -term. Essence The moment they reserved the life of a disposable camera sent by the coffee owner to each other, they also wrote their momentary joy and sorrow on the walls of colorful paper on the walls of the shop. The photos of different emotions and the comments on the wall are the reason why Shanghai citizens include coffee into the essential life? Except for clothing, food, and living, everyone needs to vent their emotions. The uncle who wrote a word "Life is as bitter as coffee" laughed is a difficult life, and does not say that life is as mellow as the bitterness of coffee?

Since the cafe is a tree hole of Shanghai citizens, drinking a cup of coffee is not their live episode, but part of life. Those uncle rock uncle who once surging youth on the stage, with the passage of years, they are no longer the protagonist of the stage, but they do not prevent them from governing the past in the four -line warehouse. After the problem of whether to write a relocation agreement, the location of the harmony was selected in the cafe that was familiar with them; had the relationship faded, did you still have to go on the marriage contract? Men in Shanghai talk about their girlfriends who work hard in different places to talk about love, maybe I think the rich coffee incense can dispel gap; as for why Xinjiang compatriots who have settled in Shanghai, how can I bring friends from their hometown to the cafe to reintegrate the old? In their ears, they also felt that going to the cafe to have a drink with the best friends, which was already in Shanghai. "Four Seasons Cafe" is such a movie like Shanghai and coffee stories that are randomly grasped by "2022 Shanghai Coffee Culture Week" on the screen. But, can you really grab a few stories at will, can you achieve such a movie named after coffee?

In the "whistle", every shot of "Four Seasons Cafe" condenses the thoughts and efforts of the creators.

Writing Shanghai, also writing the writer Chen Danyan in the eyes of Shanghai people, once said that her writing, especially the writing outline, was completed in the cafe. This is also one of the 7 short films of "Four Seasons Cafe". The ministry, give it to her, right? If you grab a story at will to complete the "homework", Chen Danyan can put himself on the screen in the cafe on the screen. Working in it, it is easier here. Coffee is very fragrant, and it encourages inspiration. " If Chen Danyan goes on according to this idea, it will be a clever and beautiful art film, but every practice of her always seek to break through her path. The whistle left the coffee to find the whistle -in fact, every story in "Four Seasons Cafe" is related to the cafe, but the cafes set off by the cafe. Interesting people in this city.

Readers who are familiar with Chen Danyan know that in recent years, the writer either is on the road or the people and things she met on the road. If it wasn't for the epidemic, she would definitely bring us more exciting exotic stories in the past three years. In the past three years, the footsteps have been suspended, but the heart that yearn for the distance has never stopped. Therefore, Chen Danyan wants to find a whistle to protect herself and make herself elegant. The whistle "came from this. As Chen Danyan took the cafe to find out the whistle through the Internet, the plot slowly advanced forward, we gradually felt that the whistle in the movie had broken away from its practical "flying" in a vast image space, for example, it seemed to be in it in Calling peace and harmony can return to the world, so that the "Chen Danyan" who wants to survive the world can easily walk in the urban and rural and avenue path she wants to set foot.

Thinking of the meaning of the layer of "Spirit", the people who watched the movie couldn't help crying.
