Secret/secret that can't be told

This film is the first big-screen work directed and performed by Jay Chou. The story is also from Jay Chou's own creativity, and the process of planning and shooting has aroused great curiosity and expectation from the media and audience.

The plot of the film describes that Ye Xianglun (Jay Chou), a high school student, comes from a single-parent family and goes to school where his father (Huang Qiusheng) teaches. Under the influence of his father, he loves music and is good at playing the piano.

One day, a new classmate Lu Xiaoyu (played by Kwai Lun Mei) who also likes playing the piano came to the class. The two hit it off and their feelings became more and more enthusiastic. However, Xiaoyu is always quite mysterious and often plays a beautiful tune that has never come out. Whenever Xiao Lun wants to know more about Xiaoyu, she always hesitates, saying that it is a secret. But one day, after a misunderstanding, Xiaoyu never came to class again. Miss Xiao Yu feeling, flustered Xiao Lun determined to find out the skeleton in my closet.

After leaving the cinema, I really don't know how to make a proper evaluation of this film. Say good-looking, so-so, but it is not difficult to say good-looking. I can only say that if I go to Jay Chou, the fare should be worth it. Of course, I still go to find the heroine Kwai Lun Mei ~

As far as the whole story is concerned, the theme is actually not novel, and it even has the suspicion of old feelings that travel through time and space. In 2000, Gianna Jun's Invisible Lover, as well as earlier love letters (I'm not sure, because I watched the clip but didn't watch it carefully, so I sweated ~) were the same theme. Bottles filled with new wine, coupled with the romantic elements of the piano, are indeed more interesting in vision and hearing than love letters that travel through time and space.

The dialogue in the movie should be said to be well written. It's really like a 18-year-old middle school student saying something stupid when he is in love. Boring, but true. I laughed until Xiao Lun began to realize that light rain might not exist. Jay Chou said that if you are 28 years old and don't arrange a 18-year-old play, you won't have a chance. Look at Xiao Lun's words, actions and expressions. They are funny everywhere (there is no derogatory meaning here). Strangely, it is said that many people have seen this kind of pain. Why didn't I feel a moving point from beginning to end? My contact point should be quite low, and a little sensational music will be moved to no avail. Unfortunately, there isn't one here.

The supporting role in the play is really eye-catching Not only Ceng Kaixian, the beautiful second-time heroine, but also A Lang (Huang Junlang), a good friend of Xiao Lun, and Xiao Lun's father (Huang Qiusheng) shine at the moment they appear. A little bad Aaron dressed as Elvis Presley at the dance is even funnier. Don't talk about Xiao Lun's father. You don't need to do your best to hand in your homework. I think you will completely overshadow Xiao Lun. As for Ceng Kaixian, to be honest, it is more beautiful than laurel with literary flavor.

In fact, the most beautiful part of the whole show is the English-style campus, the old campus and the beautiful school uniform, which is even more beautiful with the yellow tone. The best piano music is the first one. Although I don't know Chopin or Mozart, the beautiful piano sound is equally touching.

This film is rumored to be Jay Chou's autobiography, which tells the story of Jay Chou's own love affair at school. Therefore, Tamkang Middle School also generously lent out the school building to meet the needs of Jay Chou. Anyway, more than 30 students were invited to be extras in Jay Chou Sea during the winter vacation, and every effort was made to ensure that the stills could not be leaked. Wearing a school uniform similar to the uniform, Jay Chou wandered around as an actor and directed behind the camera-really busy!

Jay Chou's first film "Unspeakable Secrets" is currently being filmed. Jay Chou told reporters in the New Year that the story in the film is much more wonderful than his first love.

In the movie, Jay Chou and Huang Qiusheng continue their father-son relationship, and Kwai Lun Mei, whom he worships, also joins in. Jay Chou said that movies are about youth. "The film expresses the hope that everyone will cherish the best things around them, including love and affection, which is much more wonderful than my first love. The main scenes are basically in my alma mater, Tamkang Middle School. " He said.

Jay Chou explained that he chose to shoot at his alma mater because the story happened on campus, and the environment of his alma mater was more familiar to him and the scenery was beautiful.

Jay Chou said frankly that being a film director is much more stressful than being an actor, and it is certainly more difficult than filming MV. He said: "The first time I filmed Initial D, I didn't have many lines. I have a fever all the time when I shoot golden flowers. Those scenes were shot in a relatively short time. Film directors should be more careful and spend a lot of time preparing. The hardest thing is to learn a lot in a short time and learn to take care of it. "

Jay Chou said that this was his first time directing a film, just like his first album many years ago, and he felt very nervous. He claimed that he stole it from director Liu Weiqiang and learned his three unique skills: quickness, firmness and accuracy.

At the beginning of next month, Jay Chou will come to Shanghai to co-star with Ah sa in Zhu Yanping's new film Slam Dunk. Today, the film Unspeakable Secrets directed by Jay Chou will be shot again. This film, which recalls Jay Chou's first love as a student, co-stars Jay Chou, Kwai Lun Mei and Huang Qiusheng.

65438+ 10/8, Jay Chou gave himself the most unforgettable gift for his 28th birthday, and started filming his directorial debut "Unspeakable Secrets". The film investment is HK$ 6,543,800,000, all of which is funded by Jay Chou Communication. The film was shot in a middle school in Jay Chou, so he chose to shoot it during the winter vacation when no students went to school. At his alma mater, Jay Chou would make movies in the piano room, teacher's office and classroom.

After Jay Chou introduced that the film would record his emotional stories during his school days, it caused a lot of speculation. In this regard, Jay Chou denied the rumors years ago, saying that the film was just a fairly pure campus love. And the story is not only his own, but also the stories of people around him. The Unspeakable Secret is Jay Chou's long-planned directorial debut, and Huang Qiusheng plays his "father" again. Among the young actresses in Taiwan Province, outstanding Kwai Lun Mei and Jay Chou played a couple, and friends Liu Genghong and Nan Quan Mama made guest appearances.

In a recent interview, Kwai Lun Mei, the heroine, once commented that Secrets I Can't Tell was the most relaxed and comfortable film she starred in. Kwai Lun Mei also praised Jay Chou's high EQ, and his composition and split mirror are very thoughtful.

Jay Chou directed for the first time, which can be described as giving full play to his talents. The story is about a love triangle in high school. It seems that I saw his shadow in those years, and I really want to say what he didn't say in those years with movies.

Hong Kong producer Jiang Zhiqiang made a special trip to Taiwan Province to arrange the distribution and publicity of Jay Chou's new work. It is known that the film will be released by the American Columbia team. Since Hollywood business cards are mostly released in June and July, the film "Unspeakable Secrets" will be released in the summer vacation of August, mainly for students. Jiang Zhiqiang and Jay Chou have high expectations for this film, and plan to participate in the "Tokyo Film Festival" held in Japan in June+10, 5438. In terms of Jay Chou's local popularity, if this film can enter the Tokyo Film Festival, it will definitely set off a climax.

Behind-the-scenes production of hourly paid extras in 8 yuan

Jay Chou's film Unspeakable Secrets will be finished at the end of February. On the 23rd, he urgently recruited 600 extras to film the graduation ceremony, and only about 400 people were present. The film promoted him as a "screenwriter, director and actor", but he stayed in the lounge that day and didn't show up until nearly 4 pm, which caused a lot of complaints, because their hourly salary was only NT$ 33 yuan (about equal to RMB 8 yuan).

On the evening of 22nd, there was a news in the working edition that "Jay Chou's new drama urgently needed 600 people to perform". The actual working hours are from 7: 00 a.m. to 7: 00 p.m., and the salary is only NT$ 400 yuan, which means that the hourly salary is only NT$ 33 yuan, and students should bring their own costume performances. Netizens directly criticized "treating students as cheap labor". A reporter witnessed the performance. At seven o'clock in the morning, many students rushed to Tamsui Station to get on the bus and go to Tamkang Middle School. Although the teacher mobilized Jay Chou's younger brothers and sisters, only about 400 people gathered at the scene, which was strictly controlled. Check your identity to get into the studio. Even going to the toilet is watched by staff.

Many students don't care about the reward of seeing their idols, but it took two and a half hours to shoot the graduation concert just by allocating seats, which led them to complain: "Why do we have to wait so long?" Others said: "400 yuan is a lot, a waste of time!" " But some diehard fans said, "Not bad! You can see idols if you have money. " Ironically, Jay Chou's nominal director didn't show up for most of the day. Instead, Zhang, the assistant director, ran around the venue. Jay Chou occasionally comes out of the lounge 1 minute to pay attention to the shooting progress, and then goes back to the lounge. He didn't appear until nearly 4 pm. Fans thought they could film with him, but he went to find a beautiful actress to sit on the stone steps and chat, and let the assistant director support the audience alone.

In this regard, the crew denied that Jay Chou was a "nominal" director, saying that Jay Chou conveyed the idea of moving the mirror and shifting to the assistant directors and photographers, and let them carry it out, but he was the soul who mastered the power of on-site scheduling.

Jay Chou's first film has the shadow of first love.

Jay Chou's directorial debut, The Unspeakable Secret, is a film about love in middle school. He does not deny that there is a shadow of first love in the film. "I hope that through movies, everyone will cherish everything around them, including love and affection. I also hope to share my memories of my school days with more people, and hope to infiltrate this nostalgic feeling into the film. If I can go back in time, I hope to meet my ex-girlfriend and explain to her why we broke up. Because I was young at that time, many things were not clear. "

Jay Chou said he wanted to be a director. "I always wanted to make a movie about music or young people. This film has been planned for a long time. Now that I am 28 years old, I will be over-aged in making movies in middle school in two years, and I will be laughed at. " Although he has made an MV before, Jay Chou admits that he is definitely a newcomer as a director. "I don't know much about shots. The first time I made a movie, it seemed that the first album was released many years ago, and I was very scared. Fortunately, Huang Qiusheng was a director and gave me a lot of advice. "

As for the heroine, Jay Chou said that Kwai Lun Mei's image and feeling are very similar to those of her schooldays. "The first time I saw her acting skills, I was very impressed, so I first thought of looking for her to play the heroine."

Huang Qiusheng praised Jay Chou as a better director.

As a good friend who watched Jay Chou grow up on the film road, Huang Qiusheng pointed out bluntly that Jay Chou is better as a director than as an actor. "When he was a director, he was very patient and had a high emotional intelligence. He was very Liu Weiqiang's fan in lens use, fast and accurate, and he was a master." As for this love movie, Huang Qiusheng also said that he was very optimistic. "There have been very few scripts of this type in recent years, and they are all written for young people. I think it is good. When asked about the pay, Huang Qiusheng said with a smile that Jay Chou didn't give him the pay, and it had nothing to do with him. This time, Huang Qiusheng, who plays the green leaf in Son, joked with the media. I hope Jay Chou had better make a small movie and find him as the leading actor.

Although I'm not interested in Jay Chou, the film itself is so exquisite that I have to sit up and take notice. Although the plot of the film is very similar to the love novel starring Che Taixian, Ben was secretly glad to catch a handle that could attack Jay Chou's plagiarism, but after reading it, he felt it was unnecessary. Because other parts of the film, such as music, photography, two lovely heroines, and even the chosen scenery are very pleasing to the eye. The similarity in the plot did not prevent the audience from enjoying these audio-visual languages, so I finally gave up this attempt.

There are many scenes similar to The Legend of 1900 in the film. The first paragraph is about Jay Chou as the piano prince of the new pk school at the beginning of the film. Dedicated players, sometimes excited, sometimes nervous, sometimes cheering audience, similar to the piano pk section of 1900 Legend; The second paragraph is the end of the film. In order to meet his lover in the piano room that is about to be demolished, Jay Chou is still playing music that can take him back to the past, regardless of the collapse of surrounding buildings and the falling of tiles. And this is exactly the same as the ending of 1900 Legend.

Personally, I don't think this is plagiarism, but it may be more appropriate to call it a tribute. After all, Jay Chou is also a musician, so he probably has deep feelings for the movie 1900 Legend. Moreover, as can be seen from the film, this passage is integrated with the creator's feelings, not simple imitation and shameless plagiarism. Of course, this is just a personal guess.

The first two-thirds of the film is very much like a "love novel", but in the end, it suddenly turns around and surprises almost all the audience. A sweet and astringent first love story of middle school students suddenly becomes scary, suspenseful and even fantastic. Although the sudden change of plot and style is surprising and incredible, it will definitely make all sleepy audiences sit up straight in an instant.

Watching and chatting, I found that everyone was basically full of praise for this film, and there were basically no fans of Jay Chou here. Therefore, this must also be less water and credible.

The most terrible part of the film has to be mentioned that Jay Chou's lines are really unbearable, and his ambiguous pronunciation has to rely on subtitles to make the audience understand whether he wants to "take you home" or "I'm blind".

I still doubt one thing. Although Jay Chou can write songs, play the piano (the piano performance in the film is really unforgettable) and direct the MV, directing a 90-minute film with narrative as the main purpose is beyond the competence of a singer who directs the drum for the first time. If it is really entirely under his personal guidance, I can say that Jay Chou has another fan. To say the least, even if the director's work has nothing to do with him, his talent in the film is still amazing.

Detailed plot

Xiao Lun lives with his father. My father is a music teacher in Tamkang Art Middle School, and Xiao Lun has an extraordinary musical talent under his influence since childhood. On the first day when Xiao Lun transferred to Tamkang Art Middle School, when he visited the campus, he was suddenly attracted by a mysterious piano music. Xiao Lun followed the sound of the piano into a piano room with a history of one hundred years. Xiao Lun found that the pianist was a delicate girl, Xiaoyu. Although they didn't speak, between their eyes, both sides had a subtle feeling. Xiaoyu is Xiao Lun's classmate. Because Xiaoyu is always late for class, he is often forced to sit in the back row with Xiao Lun. The relationship between the two people has also advanced by leaps and bounds. But whenever Xiao Lun asked about the mysterious music he heard in the piano room that day, Xiaoyu always replied vaguely, "That's a secret that can't be said ..." A romantic and suspenseful love began. ...

Finally, he found that Xiaoyu and he were not of the same age, and they were 20 years apart. Xiaoyu is also a student of Xiao Lun's father. When Xiaoyu was studying,

One day, I suddenly found a piece of music under the piano in the music classroom. The name of the music score is Music Score. It also says that if you play this piano piece quickly, the first person you see is the person you like in the future. While Xiaoyu was playing, things in that classroom kept moving. Unconsciously, she came to this classroom 20 years later. The first time I saw Xiao Lun, she was attracted by music.

Because there is another girl in Xiao Lun's class who likes Xiao Lun, but only Xiao Lun can see the light rain. One night, Xiao Lun made an appointment with Xiaoyu to meet in the piano room, but Qingyi (a girl who likes Xiao Lun) arrived first. Xiao Lun closed her eyes and thought it was a light rain, so she motioned for her to kiss him. Unfortunately, Xiao Yu just saw it at this time. She thinks this is Xiao Lun's empathy. She didn't go to school for several days.

Xiao Lun has been looking for Xiaoyu for a long time. In fact, Xiaoyu came to the music classroom and played the song "Secret". Now the time has gone back to 20 years ago. Xiaoyu told Xiao Lun's father, that is, her class teacher. Everyone thinks Xiaoyu is crazy. Xiaoyu's mother specially bought Xiaoyu a medicine for treating mental illness. She was laughed at by her classmates at school. A classmate wrote a note to Xiaoyu during recess, asking her if she lost her virginity after 20 years. Xiaoyu is very sad. After returning home, she refused to go to school again.

When Xiao Lun was with Xiaoyu, she once said to Xiaoyu, I will play a tune specially for you at the graduation ceremony. When Xiaoyu graduated, Xiao Lun's father came to Xiaoyu's home to find Xiaoyu, hoping that she could attend the graduation ceremony. Xiao Yu remembered what Xiao Lun had said. After taking a photo with Xiao Lun's father, he went to the piano classroom again. Twenty years later, she came to Xiao Lun's graduation ceremony and listened to Xiao Lun's performance. At this time, Xiao Lun found the light rain that he had been looking for for for five months. Xiaoyu saw Xiao Lun looking at her and ran away at once. Xiao Lun ran out before Xiao Yuqing played the piano. Xiao Lun caught up with her and hugged her. Because Xiaoyu has asthma, she runs very slowly. He said to her, "Promise me you won't disappear again." Xiao Lun's father chased him out and shouted at him.

After the graduation ceremony, Xiao Lun came to the classroom. He only saw his two friends stealing from others. (Stationery such as pens and correction fluid) Xiao Lun asked them if they had seen light rain. They are very strange. Xiao Lun continued, it's the woman who danced with me at the dance. They were all surprised after hearing this. "At the ball, you were obviously dancing alone." Xiao Lun realized Xiao Yu feeling a bit strange. ! ! ) She also forbade Xiao Lun to play this song in the school piano room. Xiao Lun was very confused, so he came to Xiaoyu's home again. He saw the photo of Xiaoyu and his father. After the book was opened, Xiao Lun and Xiaoyu's mother also saw it. Xiao Yu painted Xiao Lun 20 years ago. Xiaoyu's mother found that she was wrong about Xiaoyu. She was very sad at once. When Xiao Lun came home, she talked to her father about Xiaoyu.

Xiao Lun's father said that Xiaoyu was a student before he was 20 years old. He plays the piano well, but some people like to think about it. He also said that he liked a boy after 20 years. They all think Xiao Yu is crazy. After listening, Xiao Lun suddenly realized that he immediately ran to the school music classroom (because Xiao Lun and his family planned to tear it down after graduation). When he went there, he found many people tearing down houses there. He climbed in through the window and bounced up as soon as possible. The house has been under construction. Xiao Lun's father watched the rain at home. Secret > The score found that Xiaoyu wrote the words Ye Xianglun (Xiao Lun) I love you on the back of the score 20 years ago. Xiao Lun's father realized that it was his son. He also ran to school. At the same time, Xiao Lun finished the last paragraph and finally came to the world of light rain 20 years ago.
