Most women will repeatedly ask men a question, do you love me or not?
Even if he loves you at the moment, there is no guarantee that he will love you all his life. Because people change, no one can guarantee that they will never leave anyone. Only yourself, never leave yourself.
In Chen Kexin's If Love, some people will be entangled in the love stories of Sun Na (Zhou Xun), Lin Jiandong (Takeshi Kaneshiro) and Nie Wen (Jacky Cheung), but it is the role of Sun Na that moves the kitten more.
Sun Na lived too sober. She always knew what she wanted, and she paid a lot of price to realize her dream. But this role is also disgusting, because she is too selfish and too philistine.
At the beginning of the story, Sun Na was already a successful actress. Someone came to her to write a memoir. The man said, "Your history of struggle has an exemplary role for young people today."
Sun Na said, "If they are as bitter as I was when I was a child, they will naturally work hard and don't need me to demonstrate."
Memories are too bitter for her to remember. She said that the only use of the past was to make her stop thinking about going back to the past.
At this time, she has been with the famous director Nie Wen, and her old lover Lin Jiandong has also become a popular star.
This is how fate plays tricks on people. Walking around, Sun Na and Lin Jiandong meet again. Lovers who meet after a long separation are red-faced if not red-eyed. But Sun Na didn't. She has always denied that they ever knew each other.
Sun Na has forgotten the past, but Lin Jiandong will always remember that he wakes up in a nightmare every night and needs medicine to fall asleep.
10 years ago, they first met in Beijing 1995. Sun Na just came out of town, wearing a military coat and carrying a big bag. When Lin Jiandong went to check out, he sneaked into the shop and ate the bowl of noodles that Lin Jiandong had not finished.
After eating, I had the cheek to ask Lin Jiandong if I could take a bath with him.
This girl from a small town has no money and no job, but this cheeky one. A small-town girl with nothing wants to stand in a big city, and she always has some perseverance and persistence that others don't have.
When we met again, she had found a job in the song and dance troupe. Although she is a barber, she is ambitious and wants to be a singer. She said, "Of course singing will come to town. Who will listen to singing in the country? "
At that time, she had just arrived in Beijing and felt that the outside world was wonderful and the future was infinite.
When we met for the third time, she was not as down and out as before. Lin Jiandong spent all his money on filming and couldn't afford the tuition. She gave him the address and asked him to stay with her.
By this time, she didn't want to be a singer. She said, "There are only 100 people in the karaoke room, and a cinema alone can seat hundreds of people. Being a star is certainly better than being a singer. "
And she also said, "Of course, you have to go to Hollywood to make movies."
When the foreign producer invited her to live with him, she smiled and said, OK.
When she got home in the evening, she had dinner with Lin Jiandong. In the middle, she turned off the light. She gave herself to him before she left.
The next day, Su Na left without saying a word. She went to see a foreign producer. Lin Jiandong knew she was leaving, but he couldn't keep her.
Finally, the foreign producer left, but he didn't take Sun Na with him. Su Na went back to where they lived and lay in the snow.
Maybe she's just thinking about how cruel the world is, but she doesn't regret making this decision, because Sun Na is too sober, and she always knows exactly what she wants.
As the lyrics say, the outside world is particularly generous. If I go out, I can come back to life. If I stay here, I can't see the present. I want to go out and find my future.
Lin Jiandong said, we're not going anywhere. If you don't go to America, I won't go to Hong Kong. But she didn't give him an answer. In her heart, she still longs for the outside world.
Lin Jiandong introduced some producers to her, and she left his world again.
Only this time, she left him a sum of money, which she has been saving since she came to Beijing, enough for him to go home. She hopes he can forget everything here. She said that the person who loves you the most is always yourself.
At this point, they lost contact forever, and the difference is ten years.
Ten years have passed, and she has been with Nie Wen. She needs a performance, and he needs a partner. I thought we broke up after filming a play. Unexpectedly, this shot is five years, and they want more and more things.
Lin Jiandong, meeting Sun Na again, was dissatisfied with her everywhere and always mentioned their past.
Sun Na told Lin Jiandong to stop pestering herself. He said that as long as she went back to Beijing with him, he would leave her alone.
Nie Wen found something was wrong with Sun Na and Lin Jiandong. As a director, he disappeared for several days.
Lin Jiandong and Sun Na also took this opportunity to return to Beijing. That night, they recalled the past. He talked a lot that night. That night, Sun Na really came back. She is no longer a star in the sky, but loves Lin Jiandong's old grandson.
Lin Jiandong didn't leave until she woke up the next day. She often leaves when he is asleep. This time, when she woke up, she found that he was not with her.
He left her a recording. He said he had been waiting for this moment for ten years. He also told her that he just wanted to get back at her last night. He reminded her that the person who loves himself the most is always himself. And this sentence was once what she said to him.
He left, but before boarding, when the ticket inspector asked him who the other ticket was, he couldn't help running back to find her.
Back on the set, Sun Na is sober Sun Na. Ten years ago, my grandson chose his career. Ten years later, Sun Na will still choose his career.
The play was over and Nie Wen left. He doesn't know whether Sun Na is with him because of love or because he can make her famous.
Lin Jiandong also left, because they can't go back, and the past can only be the past.
Does Su Na love them? I like it.
Ten years ago, she loved Lin Jiandong. He gave her a bowl of noodles and a hug. Ten years later, she also loved this Nie Wen who lived with her day and night.
As for Lin Jiandong and Nie Wen, do they love Sun Na? I like it, too. Only Lin Jiandong's love gradually turned into hate, and he hated Sun Na for abandoning himself. Nie Wen changed from using at the beginning to liking, and later recovered his reason. There is no denying that they love themselves the most.
Only after directing the play did Sun Na learn to accept himself in memory. She remembers everything that happened in Beijing, instead of deliberately forgetting it.
She will also remember that she always wanted to have a simple relationship with Nie Wen. Go to Qinghai if you want to shoot, and shoot from summer to winter.
Zhou Xun is really a halo actress, and her petite figure supports her strong ambitions and dreams. She played the role of Sun Na well, and her talking eyes also showed the tenacious vitality of the small town girl.
When there is only love in your world, you will find that the other person is your world. But when you pursue yourself and live for yourself, you will find that the outside world is wonderful, although difficult, but also very satisfied.
Some women are born to fight for their dreams. They have ambitions and goals. Sun Na is such a woman.
If I stay with Lin Jiandong, this man may support her, but he can't support her dream. To this end, she chose to leave.
In this world, the person who loves you the most is always yourself. The only person who can realize your dream is yourself.
