the movie "wish you happiness!", which will be released on september 15, is "happily" starting its national roadshow, but this may not be a story about happiness. if you have watched the movie trailers circulating on social networks, you will probably see the familiar arrogant and willful "su daqiang", the couple xiao yang and song jia who are forced into a corner by life and blame and question each other, and the aggressive wu yue who is not "intelligent" at all. it can be said that "wish you happiness!" tells a story of getting along with misfortune - a couple luo yu (played by xiao yang) and bai hui (played by song jia) are involved in a dispute over the ownership of the embryos of an elderly man (played by ni dahong) who lost his only child during the cool-off period of divorce.
this is an unsolvable problem
"lost-single-child families" seems to be an unsolvable problem. on one hand, the elderly parents who lost their only child, and the middle-aged mother who has been taking care of her daughter in a vegetative state for two years and who herself suffers from cancer, are fighting in the hospital and court for a fertilized egg regardless of their dignity, and even want to fight each other; on the other hand, the lawyer and the doctor couple who lost their only daughter in an accident are regretting and suffering in the endless dark night, unable to get out of the quagmire of life. yesterday, at the campus screening of shanghai theatre academy, a young audience asked the creators questions about the loss of their only child: "children in asian families have a close relationship with their parents. after an accident, how should parents get out of this bondage?" screenwriter you xiaoying said that people will face many impermanent and unknown situations, and the pain can be big or small, but it is inevitable. movies are a kind of "exposure therapy". you keep approaching and facing it, it is possible, "it's not about carrying it, it's possible to carry it forward." director kang bo also said that he actually does not have an answer. he hopes that after watching the movie, the audience can feel the energy stimulated by the protagonists after experiencing trauma, be inspired by the courage they convey, and find the answer to their own happiness.
the truth of life is painful
perhaps every audience has a different understanding of the significance of a fertilized egg, but the loss of life is regrettable again and again, and they deeply empathize with the parents who are still alive in the film. whether watching a movie or communicating and speaking, sighs and tears are always inevitable. yang li said after the screening that she would empathize with this movie when she thought of some mistakes she had made in her life or relatives she had lost late at night. zhong chuxi deeply empathized with a scene in the film. when luo yu asked bai hui at the civil affairs bureau, "will you still choose to get married if you know the result of divorce?" bai hui answered "yes", her emotions were a little unbearable, "i like this kind of life attitude of 'seeing the unbearable result, but still having the courage to embrace this relationship'". fu shouer said that although she liked the movie, she felt uncomfortable, "the most painful marriage is that you know the other person is a good person and you can't blame him." this is also where she admires this movie the most, "everyone is pitiful, everyone is miserable, everyone is trying their best to live, and everyone seems to be responsible." in particular, the scene where xia meiyun, played by wu yue, recounted her inner struggles at the bedside of her daughter in a vegetative state made her burst into tears. even as a mother, she had thought about giving up her daughter's life, "this is the truth of life." at the screening at shanghai film city, a male audience member said that after watching the movie, his attitude towards childbirth had changed a bit. producer yin lu was very excited to hear his sharing and said, "it's very good! the premise of happiness is that boys can understand girls. i was very happy to hear this man's speech just now. i hope more men will watch it so that they can understand their female partners better after watching it."
