On August 10, the Chinese Valentine's Day, the movie "Negatives Make Positives" was released nationwide, and the universe-level romance officially arrived. With the movie premiere, seaside music party and other activities with a strong sense of Chinese Valentine's Day ritual, the popularity of the film continues to soar. Through the different life attitudes of four urban men and women, the film asks the audience "What is love?" The film is interesting, novel, and has a unique and tipsy temperament. It has won the love of many audiences, and the "freedom" and "courage" of love have become hot words for audience discussion.
Highlight 1:
Zhu Yilong serves as co-producer for the first time, and the creative team has more and more treasures to dig
After the film premiere and the seaside music event, Zhu Yilong once again broke through his own wonderful performance and surprised the audience. In the movie "Negatives Make Positive", in addition to being an actor, he served as a co-producer for the first time. The audience said that the quality of the film was "strictly selected by Zhu Yilong and trustworthy!"
Another surprise identity of Zhu Yilong was also revealed today. On the 10th, the film released the MV of the movie's ending theme song "The Man Who Originally Lived in the Arctic Chose Adventure", which was sung by him. This is the third song in the movie's "Heart-Stirring Playlist" series.
"Just one more pass, one more mountain top", even if they are in the far North Pole, they must bravely meet each other despite numerous obstacles. Zhu Yilong conveys the gentle power of love with his low and soothing voice. In the movie, Huang Zhenkai, who dares not break the trajectory of his life, after meeting the free and easy Li Xiaole, is like "raindrops from the South Pole falling on the surface of the Arctic Ocean", his numb heart regains courage, his ability to perceive love is awakened, and he resolutely chooses to rush to love, take risks, and embark on a new journey.
Just as the song goes, "I believe that in the parallel universe, we are still resonating in some form", we must believe in the healing power of love, and the person who "negatives equal positives" with you will definitely light up the wilderness in your heart. Zhu Yilong also said in an interview that the special thing about this movie is that it not only tells about "love", but also contains many things. "Negatives equal positives" is actually a positive and optimistic attitude towards life. Sometimes in life, when you are numb and "lack of energy", you need to bravely break some of your own settings and views on things.
In addition, the film released new stills of Wang Yitong, Chen Minghao, Hu Maotao, Li Xiaochuan, Xue Xuchun, and Liu Enjia on the 10th. It is worth mentioning that actor Wang Yitong received the director's unique "cosmic signal" and directly transformed into an "alien director" and made a mysterious appearance in the film, which made the audience exclaim "I didn't expect it!"
In addition, director Wen Shipei's debut film was shortlisted for Cannes, editor Kong Dashan was the director of "Cosmic Exploration Editorial Department", and director of photography Feng Yuchao was nominated for the Asia Pacific Photography Achievement Award for "Jiao Ma Tang Hui"... Many netizens said that this is a treasure trove of talent that will be revealed the more you dig! The gathering of these young filmmakers also allowed the audience who saw the movie in advance to feel the texture of the film.
Highlight 2:
High-value lineup, the current concept of love resonates with urban men and women
As the only adult love movie during the Chinese Valentine's Day period, the movie is close to the current views on love and emotional state, making many viewers say that there is finally a movie that "raises the most common emotional views of modern people but movies dare not present", and they believe that this is the love movie that is most suitable for the physique of young people today.
Zhu Yilong, Qiu Tian, Jiang Qiming, and Zhu Zhu are all in a pleasing lineup, and the "bold" and "romantic" style of performance makes the film full of emotional tension. "Turn off the lights, we can go anywhere", in the film, Huang Zhenkai and Li Xiaole whispered in the dim light, the ambiguous atmosphere reached a climax, and the fully displayed charm of the actors made hormones overflow the screen. "What is more intimate than exposing the body is exposing vulnerability", in love, we don't need to be the same person, nor do we need to be perfect people, we just need to meet the person who happens to be "negative equals positive". The contemporary and novel concept of love for adults has aroused deep resonance among urban men and women.
Speaking of the four main characters in the film, Director Wen Shipei said: "These four different people show four completely different concepts of love." Huang Zhenkai is a person who is opened up by love. In Zhu Yilong's eyes: "Because of the appearance of Li Xiaole, Huang Zhenkai, who used to live a life of mediocrity, has more views on the world and understands himself more." Huang Zhenkai gained the courage to break through himself because of love. Li Xiaole used disguise to avoid intimacy. Qiu Tian said frankly: "Li Xiaole's unrestrainedness is just a manifestation of her contradictory heart, and Huang Zhenkai allows her to love boldly."
Daomingsi (played by Jiang Qiming) represents a more realistic concept of love that does not dare to bear the cost of love. Jiang Qiming described Daomingsi as: "All he can give is companionship." Zhu Zhu said: "Lalifa (played by Zhu Zhu) is sober and independent." Love is not everything. Her love principle is to love yourself first before loving others. They reflect the four typical love attitudes and life states of young people today, providing new answers for the audience to face questions about love and life.
Point 3:
Alien pink bubbles help love happen, and the special movie theater is full of romance
Director Wen Shipei and Zhu Yilong said that "Negatives Make Positives" is a sweet but not greasy love movie. The core of the movie is contemporary, novel and romantic. On this basis, the director designed and added alien elements to dissolve the audience's real emotions in a wild, interesting and fun way. Many people said that they like this restrained narrative because it can make them more immersed in the real heartbeat moments during the viewing process.
In the film, lawful office worker Huang Zhenkai and mysterious and changeable Li Xiaole meet unexpectedly. In their shared life, Huang Zhenkai's daytime is Li Xiaole's night. With their inverted living habits and very different personalities, they slowly get used to each other's presence in their shared life. Love is just around the corner when the alien crew of "Love Observers" from Galaxy Film Studio shoots Cupid's arrow - "Bubble of Love" - at the two of them. The two people who long for love but dare not love fall in love at this moment!
In addition to the online "Heart-beating Playlist" series, the movie also specially created the "Midnight Moment of Love" for the Chinese Valentine's Day, and set up a "Midnight Kiss" scene in the theater. The audience can kiss each other with their favorite people at the midnight Easter egg moment. The theater will randomly drop "surprise bubbles", and the pink bubbles will fill the theater to promote the occurrence of love! In addition, the film also set special names for many viewing scenes at special moments. The "Love You Forever" scene at 13:20 and the "Love You Love You" scene at 21:21 made the audience say "It gives a full sense of dating ritual." This Chinese Valentine's Day, instead of just saying "I love you", it is better to kiss hard at midnight and prove your love with actions.
Point 4:
There is ingenuity in the beautiful shots, and many metaphors bring healing from love
The high-level lens aesthetics and rich and comfortable screen tones form the film's unique tipsy temperament. Many viewers couldn't help but sigh that they finally saw a high-level and romantic domestic love movie. This Chinese Valentine's Day not only made them feel a full sense of ritual, but also gave them a rare life experience. They all said, "I want to go wild, I want to quit my job, I want to love!" "It's like seeing a running unicorn on the way home from get off work, and a furry wind blows." "This moment seems to be stripped out of time, frozen in the moment of falling in love." Love is a sense of ritual, but also an emotion and a feeling of life.
Regarding the film, the first wave of moviegoers also talked about the details of the film with great relish, such as the meaning of the "meow meow meow" code agreed upon by Huang Zhenkai and Li Xiaole, the film's constantly changing frames, the meaningful animations in the ambiguous scenes, the design of reflecting each other's figures in the eyes of the two people looking at each other, etc. Every little detail is worth savoring.
Zhu Yilong also shared at the premiere that Huang Zhenkai has a circle and a triangle tattoo on his shoulder. The triangle represents Huang Zhenkai's stability in life and work, and the circle represents Huang Zhenkai's freedom to get closer to Li Xiaole. After hearing this, the audience said that this "expression of love" that belongs exclusively to Huang Zhenkai is really thoughtful and has highlights. There is a corridor at the door of Huang Zhenkai and Li Xiaole's room, which is also free, and the length of the corridor will change according to the distance of the relationship between the two.
In the film, the OK gesture element also appears frequently. Like "Meow meow meow", it has become a special kind of tacit understanding between the two. Many viewers expressed that they like this carefully designed little idea very much. This love movie is novel enough and has enough details.
The important setting in the movie - the "Remote Control of Life" in the Galaxy Film Studio, carries the creative ideas of the main creators, which are presented to the audience in a dramatic form. Many people are attracted by it and say it is interesting, fun, and amusing. In fact, the "Remote Control of Life" also implies that Huang Zhenkai's life is controlled by aliens, but love can give people courage, breaking the "script of life" and breaking through the framework of life rules, which is also what the movie wants to express.
There is no standard answer to life and love, but at least in the short 100-minute romantic escape of the movie, each of us can gain the possibility of perceiving our true self, reject boredom and numbness, gain romantic healing, and awaken our ability to "love" and "perceive the world" again. The romance and healing of love on the 2024 Chinese Valentine's Day is in progress.
