Shao Yihui’s social profile picture is Ginsberg’s photo. Ginsberg continued to break gender prejudice throughout his life and defend women’s rights. He was the second female justice in the history of the United States. Shao Yihui also likes female writers such as Beauvoir. In her private film list, there is no shortage of female films such as “Women’s Politics”.
“I don’t know which role I should take.” Shao Yihui mentioned her confusion when reading some romance novels at home and abroad. Female characters were severely facialized: they were either “morally flawless” or “extraordinary style.” Since neither of them can resonate, she had to bring in a male role. “Female creators can write about women’s unique life experiences.” Shao Yihui told reporters from Southern Weekend.
The film debut “Myth of Love” directed and written by Shao Yihui is currently in theaters, with a Douban score of 8.3. The story is set in Shanghai, with Shanghai dialect. Shao Yihui has lived in Shanghai for six years, renting in the former French Concession, writing novels and scripts, and usually likes to go to cafes. There are many locals and old uncles among the friends, and Shao Yihui is willing to chat with them.
The three Shanghai women set in the movie have their own characteristics: Miss Li of “Blue Rose” has a free soul but is controlled by an unfree family; Gloria of “Red Rose” is rich and romantic, and no one understands. “White Rose”’s helplessness; Beibei of “White Rose” pursues equality, looks in line with men everywhere, and hides her inner trauma.
A man named Lao Bai strung their real love together. He is a painter, and at the same time he worries about firewood, rice, oil and salt. “Lao Bai respects women and is willing to listen to women,” Shao Yihui described the image of a man he admired. “He knows that being a housewife is not easy, and he can understand the plight of women.”
The relationship between men and women in movies is often “upside-down” with daily life: men and women get together, and the three women do not lose their words and control the party; men and women love, women have active choices or considerations, but not entirely entrusted to men; men and women friendship, Women are helping men realize their long-term dreams.
The dark line of the movie-“Mythical Love” is interpreted by Lao Bai’s friend Lao Wu. This old Shanghai Kele has no children and is solitary. In the 1990s, looking for the fountain in the square in the film “Sweet Life” by the Italian director Federico Fellini, Lao Wu met and fell in love with the Italian film star Sophia Rowland in Rome. The story is also true and false, and “Myth of Love” also has the same name as Fellini’s other work.
Shao Yihui graduated from the Beijing Film Academy. In 2019, her “What are the people who graduated from the Beijing Film Academy” hit the Internet. At that time, she graduated for four years, rejected projects, failed to create, and had a hard life. She sold e-cigarettes in Moments.
At that time, Shao Yihui had already completed the preliminary script. The following year, she took the script to participate in the FIRST Youth Film Exhibition Venture Capital Film Project, won the awards and got the investment. In another year, the film landed and was released.
