I love every role she plays: Jingqiu, an ignorant and simple girl in Love with Hawthorn Tree, white eggplant with clear love and hate in Running for Love, and Li Ansheng, a free and easy sister in July and An Sheng ... This time, she played Gu Shengnan, a quaint little chef in Like You, which once again brought different surprises to the audience.
As soon as Gu Shengnan appeared in the film, he looked cynical, with unkempt short hair and tattooed arms. She wanted to help her best friend row love rat's car, but she accidentally went to the wrong floor of the parking lot ...
And this poor car owner is the male owner of this film-Lu Jin, the president with tens of billions of assets, played by Takeshi Kaneshiro. This person is quite rational and mean, accustomed to rigor and calculation, and even cooking instant noodles is a must, not less than one point, not more than one second.
The appearance of "substandard" girl Gu Shengnan completely disrupted Lu Jin's orderly life. What Lu Jin never expected was that this little girl who was always in trouble was actually the chef who could make gypsy witch soup with unique flavor in the hotel he was about to buy.
One is a creative chef, and the other is a picky eater. Through the confrontation of several dishes, the two men changed from mutual dislike to gradual affection.
In movies, food is fate, a token, and a password to unlock each other.
As Gu Shengnan's line in the film said: "Everyone has a password in his body. People who are picky about food just don't find the right person to unlock the password."
Many people say that this is just a story of an overbearing president falling in love with Cinderella, and I think this is clearly a story of finding a bosom friend in the mountains and rivers. Gu Shengnan has never been waiting for the prince to save her Cinderella, but a creator with unique personality, looking for someone who knows her taste.
Referring to love with food makes the simple content of the film more full and romantic.
A creative and bold gypsy witch soup unlocked the password of Lujin taste buds; Fresh Japanese matcha with lamb chops, borrowing the concept of "one session for one session" in Japanese tea ceremony, is a metaphor that they are rare and cherished in the world; Hot Argentine Chili sauce with summer barbecue reveals the unspeakable feelings of girls ...
"Blowfish Illusion" is undoubtedly the most romantic scene in the movie. In fact, tetrodotoxin is one of the most toxic neurotoxins in nature. After poisoning, the extremities are paralyzed, breathing is difficult, and it is easy to die. However, the director designed the dreamland after poisoning to be dreamy and interesting-the world of Gu Shengnan and Lu Jin suddenly rained cats and dogs.
"Your house is leaking. Let's go outside to take shelter from the rain." Two people, with a bright yellow flower umbrella, skipped to the street. One shouted that it would rain heavily and the other let it rain lightly, as if the whole world listened to them.
They hid on a bus with an umbrella. Gu Shengnan took the broken umbrella handle and smiled and said to Lu Jin, "Your hair is wet. Let me blow it for you. Mine is negative ion and won't hurt your hair." Lu Jin, who was gradually awake, wanted to stop it, but in the end she cooperated with her.
This seems to be what love should look like. I am willing to accompany you to pretend to be crazy and sell silly, and I am happy to show my sweetness, completely ignoring the eyes of passers-by. Beautiful dreamland is often fleeting. The appearance of a private chef (Lin Chi-ling) who has been cooking for manager Lu for seven years makes the plot turn around.
"How can you eat two people's cooking at the same time?" Gu Shengnan cried bitterly. Eating like a lover, if you like my cooking, it means that you understand my heart. Sister Zhiling, who decided to cook for manager Lu only at the age of 20, also agrees with this value. Cooking is a metaphor for love, which makes the vulgar love triangle interesting. The departure of Zhiling's sister implies that "food" and "love" are inseparable in her cognition.
Comparing food to love, director Xu Hongyu said, "For example, I didn't like coriander before, but later I fell in love with it, so maybe when you meet someone, even if this person doesn't meet your preset, you will still fall in love."
There is often no reason to like a dish, and so is falling in love with someone.
"I don't know, I can't imagine, I can't help liking you who can't cook, just as I can't imagine, will I like you who can't make mistakes, because I can't choose, I only like your advantages, but I don't like your shortcomings, do you understand, Gu Shengnan? I can't choose whether I like you or not! "
At the end of the film, Lu Jin gave Shengnan a gift-he borrowed a terrace where he could see the sunset. The old house, the dim yellow lights, and the life of fireworks are picturesque.
Two people sat side by side on the balcony, quietly and seriously watching the sunset. This is the simplest appearance of love. Someone asks you how warm the porridge is, and someone is with you at dusk.
I once read a passage of unknown origin, which is popular, but it makes sense:
Good women and good men all over the world should be ironed before cooking cigarettes and frying pans, knowing that life is a serious and lazy thing. Your food nurtures your heart, spleen and lungs, and you are what it is.
Aesthetic food and love, can not live up to.
