Learn Chinese through Chinese Movie: January 2011 爱出色 "Color Me. Love"
2010 Chinese urban romantic comedy "Color Me. Love" (Chinese name: 爱出色 "Ai Chu Se")
It is not only a great movie, but also a great way to get a taste of contemporary Chinese language, culture and everyday life.
Released in November 2010, "Color Me. Love" is a modern Chinese dating movie.
With so many popular films with ancient kung fu themes on the market, watching a romance movie like "Color Me Love" can provide a fresh experience.
Set against the background of Beijing's thriving art and magazine publishing worlds, this movie is a love story between 汪晓菲 Wang Xiaofei, a fashion magazine intern played by 姚晨Yao Chen , and 栾亦鸿 Luan Yihong , a modern and arrogant young painter who has a chaotic past with other girls.
As one of the most popular Chinese actresses, 姚晨 Yao Chen, rose to fame in 2006 by playing a funny kungfu girl in My Own Swordsmen. Her signature big mouth (or sassyness) and carefree laugh are amply displayed in this film.
The Prada-wearing devil, the editor-in-chief character in this movie, is played by 陈冲 Joan Chen, a very famous star in China in the 1970s due to her role in the popular movie called " Xiao Hua " (Little Flower). She went to the US in early 80s and came to international attention for her performance in the 1987 Academy Award-winning film The Last Emperor
Many movie scenes are in landmark buildings in modern Beijing, such as the new CCTV tower outside of the window of the editor-in-chief's office and the underground highway near Beijing Olympics stadium. Thanks to the movie director, who knows how to shoot a film about fashion in a very appealing way, many luxury brands, Cartier, Hermes and Versace, show off their latest goods to create a dazzling fashion world.
