The texture of "If Love Is God's Will" is like an old photo.
The short trailer and the scenes in it, the most impressive thing is not the love, but the postcard-like pictures.
In fact, it is difficult to have anything new in the promotion of this kind of movie, especially in the trailer. After all, the story of the movie itself is not very exciting.
The routine may have been considered novel twenty years ago, but in this era, it does not appear to be new.
Although the response from the internal viewing party was good, representatives from various theaters still have great doubts about such a literary and fresh romance film. Otherwise, the length of "If Love Has a Will" is not
It is short, and this film is indeed very artistic, so even if they feel that it is indeed a rare and excellent film after watching it, from a commercial perspective, they still have no confidence.
】
Because it has been many years since a movie like this has become a big hit.
This can be said to be a pure romance film, and literary and artistic films usually go the route of competing for awards, but "If Love Has God's Will" does not follow this path, because literary and artistic romance films, in fact, do not win awards in terms of awards.
Not popular.
These days, whether it is foreign film festivals or domestic film festivals, pure romance films are really not favored by them.
Although "Life is Beautiful" also contains love, in fact, the fundamental reason for winning the award is anti-war.
Therefore, romance films are not favored by various film festivals, and they are even better than science fiction films.
Unless it's a deformed love, or a special kind of love, this type of movie really doesn't please the judges.
For this reason, the key is to see how the on-demand screenings are received before theaters will consider how many films to schedule.
The media and film critics specially screened it. Although it is not Li Yi's film, Mu Qing's reputation is not bad, and it can be said that in the field of domestic romance films, especially in the field of literary and artistic romance films, Mu Qing's reputation is particularly resounding.
Therefore, many media and film critics came to attend the first special screening for media and film critics.
And what’s interesting is that the proportion of female film critics and the proportion of female media people is much higher than that of other movies.
This is actually determined by the type of movie itself.
Xu Fangfei is a romance writer and film critic. She must watch almost all literary and romantic films. Unfortunately, the film market is getting bigger and bigger, and the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.
big.
This time Xu Fangfei was invited to attend the screening of "If Love Is God's Will", and she still had high expectations.
Although from the trailer, it seemed that there was nothing particularly outstanding about the plot, she had watched many literary and romantic films, and knew that these days, if she wanted to be innovative or unique in such films, she would not be successful.
Not advisable.
What she loves most is the kind of pure literary romance film with a bit of sweetness and a bit of sadness.
The movie started quickly.
On the big screen, the first thing that appears is the green mountains and green waters, the gurgling small streams, the small wooden boats on the riverside, and the wooden trestles. The colors are darker, giving people the feeling of jumping out of old postcards.
A layman watches the excitement, an expert watches the door.
In fact, it can be seen from the opening scenes that the main tone and tone of this movie will be the tone of old photos.
Then the heroine finally appeared on the big screen, and the camera was shot from inside the room through the door.
The sweet-looking heroine Lin Zixi is collecting the books she posted one by one.
Holding a large stack of books, he returned to the room and went upstairs.
Suddenly she was attracted by the wonderful scenery outside the window. Her hand slipped and the book fell to the floor, but she ignored it.
Instead, he walked toward the window.
"I remember when I was a kid, I saw a rainbow across the river!"
She opened the wooden window and chased away the pigeons parked on the window sill. She supported her chin with one hand and looked at the big rainbow across the river in the distance.
"At that time, my mother told me that the rainbow is the door to heaven, and people enter heaven through that door after death."
After watching Rainbow, Lin Zixi returned to the room and picked up the fallen books.
"My father passed away when I was a child, and my mother went abroad. I wanted her to get married again, but she didn't want to!"
Just as he was talking, the book suddenly fell down again.
She was so angry that she couldn't help blowing her hair.
"My name is Zixi, my blood type is type O...I have been practicing Taekwondo since I was a child..."
Next is a scene of Lin Zixi practicing Taekwondo.
She obviously looks like a pretty and quiet girl, but she actually has such a side, which makes people a little funny.
She opened the cupboard door.
He put the book in, but quickly opened it again, and the camera showed a close-up of a box in the cabinet.
In this way, the audience is told that this box is the key.
Sure enough, the next moment, she opened the cabinet door again.
"This box contains my parents' letters and diaries. My mother sheds tears every time she reads the letters. The beautifully written letters and the atmosphere of the past contain my mother's first love."
She held the dusty box and placed it on the coffee table.
When he opened it, it was filled with letters.
The curtains moved with the wind, like people's hearts. She picked up an envelope, took out the letter paper from it, and read it.
The phone rang, forcing her to put the letter back.
Suddenly a gust of wind blew outside the window, blowing all the letters in the box to the floor, and the pages of the old diary kept being turned by the wind.
The call came from Zixi's good friend Xiuxiu, and a name was mentioned on the phone, Shang Ming. Judging from Zixi's reaction, it was not difficult for the audience to find that she had a special reaction to this name.
The other party invited her to watch a play.
"I'm very serious. I met Shang Ming through Xiuxiu. One day she asked me to write an email to Shang Ming. I wrote letters for her for two months..."
She wrote: "Today I saw you reading on the bench. The scene was like a picture on a postcard..."
My best friend Xiuxiu came over while chewing a chicken leg, took one look at it and said with disdain: "Eh, so childish!"
"Do you want to rewrite it?" Lin Zixi asked.
"No, I like it, I like childish letters!" Chen Xiuxiu said with a smile while eating chicken drumsticks.
As soon as the camera turned, the drama club was performing a drama. The star was Shang Ming, the boy Lin Zixi had a crush on. Then suddenly her best friend came on stage holding a bouquet of flowers, put the flowers in Shang Ming's hand, and told him that she had written two letters for him.
letter of the month.
The boy I have a crush on is also the boy my best friend likes.
So Lin Zixi could only keep this secret love silently and secretly in her heart.
She came to the drama club and watched them rehearse.
He turned his head, but she was shy and did not dare to look at him.
The music sounded, and the lines of the drama were like her state of mind.
"The first time I met you, you had already stolen my heart, but now that you are by my side, I feel that we will be together forever..."
The camera kept switching between the faces of Zi Xi and Shang Ming.
