In Chinese movies, it is above the standard, especially in terms of the director's debut. The film is full of delicious food aroma and gorgeous color, as well as the sour and sweet love. Although the whole story is very cliche and Mary Su, the director/screenwriter arranged a lot of humor and cuteness in the plot, and handled the details well.

Takeshi Kaneshiro's steady performance and cold humor (he seldom plays comedies, but always feels that he has a melancholy temperament) make this overbearing CEO role more credible; Zhou Dongyu's performance went a little too far, but the rebellious girl role was originally exaggerated and flying, and she still showed that kind of cuteness, unconfidence and stubbornness (but I didn't like her scene with another private chef, and the whole thing was out of control). The two protagonists didn't make the story look too thin and pale.

The first half of the film is good and interesting, but there are still some problems in the script in the last 2 or 3 minutes. The emotional crisis between the two people and the flip are not beautiful enough, which leads to the mood not being brought to a high point. Director Xu Hongyu is an editor, so it is not surprising that the film is cut smoothly and lightly. However, I think it's a bit too fragmented and fancy-there is a scene in which the hero and heroine talk (as if it were a discussion), but the lines are not very interesting, but the lens changes repeatedly, which seems to be beautiful. In fact, the script will be really beautiful after polishing. It seems that directors from domestic editing backgrounds are prone to this problem.

That's all, but I actually want to talk about this film from the perspective of a film practitioner and industry-I think its real value is also in this respect!

judging from the two films, July and An Sheng and Like You, Chen Kexin/we are making a production machine for urban love movies. In other words, the former is more literary and the latter is more commercial. However, the two films are actually commercial films with some author's film style.

At present, it is precisely such directors that are in short supply in China-including producers like Chen Kexin who are good at tapping talents and controlling projects.

In this sense, if Chen Kexin-→ Young Director-→ July and An Sheng and Like You can stably produce about 1 romantic films at least up to the level of these two films every year, then the mainland Chinese film market will be completely different!
