Fan Bingbing and Zhang Ziyi’s battle for love ＂Very Perfect＂ Stars Statue

Young directors and big names have joined, and such cooperation models have appeared more and more frequently in the domestic film market in recent years. Zhang Ziyi’s first film as a producer and starring, with Fan Bingbing, Su Zhixie, He Rundong, Lin Xinru, and Yao Chen starring in it. The second feature film of Yimeng, a director studying in the United States, is destined to set off a boom this summer.

Zhang Ziyi

From the perspective of the heroine Sophie, it is simply a process of "losing love, striving for love, and regaining love." A series of small tricks, tricks, and surprises derived from "love" occur in the middle. Finally, it conforms to the label of "urban fashion romantic comedy", and the lovers finally get married. Such a story may be suitable for a summer that needs a touch of coolness in a heat wave, for urbanites who are busy all day, and for people who have a vision of sweet love, but it is still the old saying – benevolent people see benevolence and wise people see wisdom. There is a market, and everyone gets what they need.

Although, as far as the whole movie is concerned, the demand for acting is not so harsh or extreme. But just seeing these actors with enough weight and hot topics appear on the big screen at the same time, it is already worthy of the name of "urban fashion romantic comedy".

Supporting actors with leading roles

Looking at the whole movie, under the light of Zhang Ziyi and Fan Bingbing, the aura of the other stars was relatively discounted a lot. Observing one by one, one of Sophie’s girlfriends, Lu Xiaoxi played by Lin Xinru, has capable short hair, smoky makeup, and black main suits. The overall shape is good enough, but apart from the shape, there are not many memory points. Sophie’s second best friend, Li Li played by Yao Chen, has curly hair sheep head, and blingbling gold and silver jewelry all over her body. The big-mouthed beautiful woman’s comedy talent is still unstoppable, and because there are not many scenes, the place where she can stand out is relatively limited. However, "YOU seduce my husband!" This line is believed to be popular for a short time. Then, Mr. Right, who wrote a happy ending with Sophie, and Chang Rui, played by He Rundong, gave the character the words "no merit". There are no distinctive characters, and He Rundong’s tall and healthy appearance, sunny and handsome face, and natural and friendly performance are used just right. However, if you replace it with someone else, I believe it will not make much difference. In the end, Sophie’s ex-boyfriend, Lee Jiefu, who was originally thought to be the most central and interesting, recruited Su Zhixie, who is absolutely guaranteed to be popular in Korea, to play. However, the result makes people feel a little regretful that he is "overqualified". In the movie, Mr. Su took a foil route. The two beautiful women were just competing for the goal, and he always felt that there was a little less personality and a little less independent advocacy. The innocence, confusion and helplessness in the eyes that the plot needs are revealed from time to time. Or it should be said that in the background of big-name women’s plays, it is enough for men to play in moderation.

The two major characters that made their debut

As two major domestic A-list actresses, Zhang Ziyi and Fan Bingbing’s show on the same stage is definitely one of the biggest attractions. In the movie, the two characters are also in tit-for-tat positions, Li Jiefu’s ex-girlfriend – comic book collection Sophie and current girlfriend – big star Wang Jingjing. One is in the process of "revenge" to regain his old love, and the other is in a big confrontation to defend his new love’s acting skills. The cartoonist’s fanciful moves are against the big stars’ acting skills that are still proficient in life, and it was thought that this was the main axis of the narrative. In fact, compared to Zhang Ziyi’s most important appearance, Fan Bingbing can perform in relatively few places.

Fan Bingbing

I’m used to seeing Zhang Ziyi in all kinds of big productions. The first time I saw her in a "non-blockbuster" or a comedy, I was really not used to it when I first started watching it. Due to the needs of the plot, the exaggerated performance method and the innocent and romantic expression that seemed to be a little beyond age finally stopped feeling discordant in the middle of the movie. Little clever, little bad, little evil, little confused, all the characters need are fully displayed and not annoying, which is not bad. At the same time, the plot comic-style narrative, the prominent details and color matching in the scene, and the full transformation of the clothing add a lot of points to the three-dimensional shaping of the whole character, or these are the essential elements of the so-called urban fashion drama.

In the end, Fan Bingbing was mentioned because this character, who seemed to be the protagonist but did not have too many roles, but who felt like nothing more than Fan Bingbing, was well-interpreted. As far as the character itself was concerned, Fan Bingbing could definitely perform with ease at her current level, and just the aura and aura of a big star were already natural to her. Under the premise of the plot and the needs of the character, it also required skills to show one’s beauty to the greatest extent, and she did it. Especially in the rock climbing arena, she watched Sophie with tears in her eyes and duplicity, saying, "Play acting with me, can you?" The scene was particularly classic. In addition, due to the needs of the play within the play, a series of shapes from ancient times to the present appear distinct under the interpretation of Fan Bingbing, which also makes the picture feel rich and layered again. Although the way of handling the ending is a little stiff, there is no reasonable plot overkill to reflect Wang Jingjing’s inner transformation. Maybe the director doesn’t think there is such a need, it’s just wishful thinking of me as a viewer.

The movie has not been released in the whole country, and the topics are already numerous. Some people say that the movie is not bad, it is worth watching; some people say that only the big names have no content, and it is not worth wasting money; some people say that this is a brand new attempt in Chinese film; some people say that this movie has seen too many shadows of movies, just like Korean idol movies… In this circle, the more topics, the easier it is to attract attention. Whether you love it or not, if you just want to find something to make yourself happy in the hot summer, if you don’t care so much about the imperfections under the perfect, then this movie ticket should still be considered, if you still have some money in your pocket.
