Restore 12 secrets of behind-the-scenes production that you didn’t know about Like You

"Like You" Zhou Dongyu stood in front of the hotel room 1123.

1905 movie network news Produced by Chen Kexin and Jo Jo Hui, directed by Xu Hongyu, starring Takeshi Kaneshiro, Zhou Dongyu, Sean, Ming Xi, Zhao Yingjun and Zhang Guozhu, and featuring Gao Xiaosong, Lin Zhiling and Yang Youning, the film is being shown in cinemas all over the country.


In addition to hilarious comedy design, sweet love story and tempting gluttony food, many viewers also said that after two or three brushes, I like you found some new details and suspected coincidences. In this regard, the film side answered questions one by one.


1. Guilei Hotel


    In the movie, Lu Jin (Takeshi Kaneshiro) wants to buy the Rosebud Gloria Hotel where Gu Shengnan (Zhou Dongyu) works. The film named "Rosebud" is a tribute to director Xu Hongyu. In that movie, "Rosebud" was Kane’s last words before he died.


In "Like You", "Guilei Hotel" was taken from Shanghai landmark — — Intercontinental ruijin hotel. Before the film started, the director basically looked at the antique hotels in Shanghai, and Ruijin Hotel was the most impressive. The room 1123 where Lu Jin lives is the room 1123 of Ruijin Hotel. Because everything in the room is expensive, there are many restrictions on shooting, and all the scenes related to this room are shot continuously in 36 hours. In Takeshi Kaneshiro, there was a scene in which Lu Jin tossed and turned in the room and couldn’t sleep. In fact, not only the actors, but also the staff were almost asleep.

 

2. Be happy and happy


When Lu Jin first arrived at Guilei Hotel, he was frightened by the joy and heart of the twin waiters. This passage is not only a tribute to Xu Hongyu, but also based on the real experience of producer Chen Kexin. On one occasion, Chen Dao met two waiters who looked exactly the same at the front and back of his usual hotel, thinking that something strange had happened. Later, he learned that the hotel really had a pair of twin waiters.

 

3. Instant noodles

  

In Like You, Lu Jin took a box of instant noodles with him. In fact, Takeshi Kaneshiro will bring a lot of instant noodles when he goes out for filming.


In the movie, Lu Jin’s way of cooking noodles was inspired by Wu Junru.


"My instant noodles are not particularly delicious, and my aunt’s instant noodles are not delicious at home. I must do it like this. She has her own method." Director Chen Kexin said.


In addition, 12 years ago, in the film directed by Chen Kexin, the heroine Lao Sun (Zhou Xun) took a box of instant noodles from Lin Jiandong (Takeshi Kaneshiro). In that play, Lao Sun and Lin Jiandong were not together, leaving the audience with a sigh. Twelve years later, Takeshi Kaneshiro played a romantic film again, and Lu Jin, with a box of instant noodles, finally got his lover back.

Wukang building

4. The most beautiful sunset


The place where Takeshi Kaneshiro and Zhou Dongyu watch the sunset side by side is located in Wukang Building, another landmark building in Shanghai, formerly known as I.S.S Normandy Apartments.


Both Chen Kexin and Chen Hongyu like Wukang Building very much. It is located at the junction of several roads, which is rare in itself. Moreover, the architectural style of Renaissance is sandwiched with some classicism. In their view, it is "very new york and very Shanghai".


"When I first visited the Wukang Building, I saw a 90-year-old grandfather sitting alone on the balcony watching the sunset. Although he was the only one watching, the scene still made me feel warm and romantic." Xu Hongyu said. It is this scene that contributed to the most romantic scene in the film.

 

5, vegetable market confession


The scene of Lu Jin vegetable market confessing Gu Shengnan was taken in Zhenbei vegetable market in Shanghai.

  

This scene was made at the insistence of director Xu Hongyu. Because Gu Shengnan is a chef, he often goes to the vegetable market. When Lu Jin appeared in the vegetable market, it meant that he was going into Gu Shengnan’s life.

 

6. Glasses


The glasses Takeshi Kaneshiro wore in the movie came from Claire Goldsmith. Audrey Hepburn’s sunglasses in Breakfast at Tiffany’s and agent Kingsman’s exquisite glasses all come from this brand.


I wonder if you have noticed that Lu Jin will take off his glasses for people and things that attract him, which is also a sign that he takes off his armor.


 In addition, all Takeshi Kaneshiro’s clothes in the film were sent to Shanghai by Hong Kong Haute Couture. There is also embroidery "LJ" in the pocket of pajamas, which is the abbreviation of Lu Jin, showing the intention of Virgo team.

 

7. Danma Beef


Takeshi Kaneshiro likes teppanyaki very much. At the beginning of the movie, Lu Jin eats teppanyaki at the airport, which can be said to be tailor-made. Takeshi Kaneshiro also personally consulted a familiar Japanese teppanyaki master to study the thickness of the iron plate and use it as a tricky line setting in the movie — — But horse beef really needs a 10 cm iron plate. The thickness of the general teppanyaki iron plate is less than 10 cm.

 

8, puffer fish


Because puffer fish is not easy to get close to, it always looks angry, and Lu Jin gives people the feeling of this character. When director Xu Hongyu was angry when he was a child, his mother would say that he was like a puffer fish. The whole person was bulging and "poisonous".


The scene in which Lu Jin and Gu Shengnan ate puffer fish poisoning and produced hallucinations was inspired by a video Xu Hongyu saw on Weibo — — A dolphin teased the puffer fish and made it swell up. When playing football, "the puffer fish seems to be very happy, as if it had drunk wine", and the same is true when people fall in love, as if they had drunk wine.

 

9. Boss


Gu Shengnan’s dog is called "boss". Peter, a bull terrier, is 11 years old. Because producer Chen Kexin’s English name is also Peter, directors and screenwriters are used to calling him "boss", so they conveniently named the role of the puppy "boss".


 In fact, two dog actors participated in the audition, and only Peter, the dog, took the initiative to walk through the crowd and walked to Takeshi Kaneshiro. He was very docile, so it can be said that he won the role himself.


 In addition, there is a cat in the movie, which is the pet of director Xu Hongyu. You can find it in Weibo!


10. eggs


In the movie, the scene of Gu Shengnan and Lu Jin fighting eggs made the audience open their eyes and burst into laughter. In fact, there are more ways to make eggs when shooting. Takeshi Kaneshiro really ate 18 egg dishes when shooting.


All the close-ups of food in Like You were specially shot by the food photography team for a week. French food is checked by Jason Oakley, a chef with the title of Michelin two stars. The Taji pot used to make Moroccan Taji stuffed pigeons was specially made in the United States, with only three pieces.

The kitchen where Gu Shengnan worked was built in 1: 1 according to Michelin-level French cuisine.

Gu Shengnan’s kitchen was built according to the standard Michelin-level French kitchen 1:1, and all the details were set according to the standard, with a cost of 2 million yuan.

Lin Chi-ling plays Takeshi Kaneshiro’s personal chef in the film.

11. English film title


The English film like you is called "This is not what I expected". This is the inspiration that director Xu Hongyu got from chatting with a female chef. The female chef said that she had received a note from a troublesome diner — — This is not what I expected, this is not what I imagined. She is puzzled: "You can say that the food is salty and raw, and everything can be improved. This is not what I expected, I don’t understand. "


Xu Hongyu believes that this sentence itself has a double meaning, which can be done too well, beyond expectations, or it can be done too badly. In Like You, Lu Jin played by Takeshi Kaneshiro is such a troublesome and picky eater. And this sentence also points out the theme of this movie — — Love is unpredictable.

 

12. Lu Jin’s car


In the movie, Lu Jin opened the Audi Q7. This design comes from the producer’s circle of friends — — The "old money" of more than three generations will not be obvious. They are rich, but they will not pursue luxury cars and will consider practicality more. Including Lu Jin’s iphone for mobile phones, iwatch for watches and other details, are all practical.

 

"Like You" is on.
