Sample impression:
You have to think, disassemble, and capture the code to have fun
Thomas (Lin Baoyi)
Ken (Chen Huanren)
Joyce (Wei Shiya)
"Bridge of Sigh" is a kind of Rashomon The way, each episode is developed from the perspective of a character, telling the suspenseful love relationship. Thomas (Lin Baoyi) and Sammy (Zhou Jiayi) are childhood sweethearts friends and business partners. Joyce (Wei Shiya) and Ken (Chen Huanren) are a couple who have lived together for eight years and their relationship has become dull. Joyce is unforgettable. When I was young in Belgium, I hit it off with Thomas and developed a warm feeling. However, because of a movie ticket, Joyce was found to be inadequate, and what followed were lies between people, Concealing, misunderstanding, missing... The first three episodes were filmed from Thomas, Ken and Joyce from three angles. They have completely different interpretations of this intricate relationship. N angles and N modern mentality of marriage and love are deduced. Three versions of Rashomon's story.
After watching the pure Cantonese version of the play in advance, the discussion and controversy among the media reporters was as intense as when the "Margaret and David-Mung Bean" premiered at the premiere. Coming shock. For the quality of "Bridge of Sighs", there are a lot of praises, and there are also a lot of confused and doubtful voices: "The pictures, mirroring, composition, editing, stories, and emotions are all full of literary and artistic sense, and they have dumped several streets of old TVB dramas." "When I watch the first three episodes, I feel a little clouded, and I even need to search for annotations while watching it. This is a work that has depth and tests IQ." "I like this feeling that I can't shoot even if I derail." Too esoteric, not very friendly to ordinary audiences, and may be unconscious or impatient"...
When we interviewed Lin Baoyi, the director and star of the show, he had already expected these opinions, and he The original intention is: "We have requirements for every audience who watches, and ask them to watch carefully, can they see the truth of this suspenseful romance?" In Lin Baoyi's view, audiences who love watching movies and foreign dramas are used to Fighting intelligence with the director, disassembling the camera, capturing the secret code and information, and finding the pleasure of watching the movie; and the audience spoiled by the old Hong Kong drama thinks that they can see what the story is saying without thinking about it on the sofa. The era of watching dramas should have passed. He said: "We should have some new concepts and new methods to express each different story., It is now 2020. Making "The Bridge of Sighs" has a certain degree of viewing risk, because the average audience is used to watching TV shows with their eyes, but this show is not only watched with eyes, but also with their heads. "If the audience can't see through what he wants to say, he says, "It's okay, look at it again, three or four times." You taste, you taste; if you can see clearly and are moved by the images or emotions inside, he It’s also very satisfying.
Production team:
The original team of good word of mouth, discussing the truth in the relationship
《玛嘉"Lee and David-The Mung Bean" is a 2016 high-scoring Hong Kong drama.

Lin Baoyi said that she wanted to explore the background of human nature. Past romantic dramas focused on the beautiful parts of love. "Bridge of Sighs" is different. It talks about couples getting along, the stages of love dying, and even cheating. The description of the mentality is extremely realistic. "Thomas, who I play, is an unhappy person. Maybe he is very happy on the outside, but he never says true love in his heart, so he seems a little lonely. I think love is the common language of the whole world. Both good and bad people need love. If you want to have a deep friendship with another person and talk about feelings, there will be complicated things. You can look at human nature from love, and see how much your boyfriend and girlfriend love you when they want to love you, and how much they don’t love when love is gone. ”

actor blessing:
Powerful people gather, Lin Baoyi and the two goddesses love and hate entanglement
The lineup of "Bridge of Sigh" can be described as a collection of powerful actors in Hong Kong drama. Producer + actor, It is Lin Baoyi, the male god of Hong Kong drama. He has dominated the TVB screen for many years. In classic dramas such as "Golden Branch Desires", "Pearls of Light" and "Heaven and Earth", his role styles are different, and he can be arrogant and gentle and affectionate. This time he took another shot for four years after being absent from the screen for a long time. The male protagonist Thomas is cold on the outside and hot on the inside. He is a bit scornful and affectionate. He can always see through the lies of others, but he also did unscrupulous nasty things when he was young. There are multiple levels of roles. Lin Baoyi has no sense of hand, and still finds the feeling at the peak of the performance. He said: "I told the two directors that I would forget all my previous classic roles and start over. I am just an ordinary person, to act as a three-dimensional person. I will try my best to put myself into the role. Zhou Jiayi laughed at me when he talked to me earlier: ‘The way you spoke just now, it’s really Thomas! ’”
The heroine Zhou Jiayi is the “Margaret” in “Margaret and David-Mung Bean”"The love-hate entanglement between her and Lin Baoyi in the play makes the drama fascinating. "The Bridge of Sighs" is the two again joining hands after four years of separation. Zhou Jiayi plays the role of grassroots, and Sammy, who is depressed and shy towards emotional expression, starts a two-way relationship with Thomas. Secret love creates new sparks.
Another emotional drama with Lin Baoyi is the goddess Wei Shiya, who has both appearance and acting skills. She has "Forgive him 77 times" and "Leak secrets" Movie masterpieces such as "The Sigh" and "Dark Heaven". Joyce in "Bridge of Sighs" is a Hong Kong girl who enjoys freedom and desires a sense of security. Walking between two men, she can easily be characterized as a "cheating woman" ", but Wei Shiya’s performance is by no means dog-blooded, and women’s emotional swaying and making choices was told by her. Wei Shiya said: "I sympathize with Joyce and agree with her from a certain angle. practice. I hope that all the girls will feel the same as me after watching this drama. I would rather have no love, no one around me than just pick someone you don't like or fit because of loneliness. This is more painful than having no boyfriend around you. ”
In addition to the above protagonists, there are Chen Huanren, Qin Pei, Jiang David, Zhang Zhaohui, Bao Qijing, Wu Yongwei and other powerful actors blessing. Each role has a unique soul. Exposing humanity, suspense, and testing IQ, the texture and acting skills of "Bridge of Sighs" are above the standard and worth looking forward to.
