"Maybe love is not a necessity in life, but comedy certainly is. We hope to use a light-hearted and joyful romantic comedy to allow everyone to escape reality for a short while." Wu Yawen, director and screenwriter of "True Love Business", said at the premiere.

On March 11, the romantic comedy film "True Love Business" held its premiere at the "True Love Three Guarantees Party" in Beijing. Director and screenwriter Wu Yawen, starring Zheng Hehuizi, Zuo Lingfeng, Liu Tong, Jia Bing and other main creators appeared after the screening and shared their feelings and interesting stories about the filming with the audience. The film will be released nationwide on March 15.

Premiere scene

"True Love Business" tells the story of contract couple blogger Xu Xiaoli (played by Zheng He Huizi) and her "hired boyfriend" Hao Zha (played by Zuo Lingfeng) who suddenly encountered a crisis of losing fans. Faced with the sudden drop in traffic and pressure from her boss, Xu Xiaoli had no choice but to plan a fake marriage.

"True Love Business" is Wu Yawen's first big-screen movie written and directed by herself. At the premiere, she said that the inspiration for this creation came from a "proverb" on the Internet, which is "a wise man does not fall in love". "I don't know if you know that each of us tells at least 25 lies every day, especially girls who have to say something against their will in many situations and cannot be completely themselves. I first wrote the character of Xu Xiaoli. Although she talks nonsense, she is actually a person who dares to pursue true love. Indeed, many young people nowadays do not believe in love, but each of us actually desires a sweet and beautiful love in our hearts."

Zheng He Huizi had acute gastroenteritis that day and rushed to the scene with an IV drip. "I have not thought about how to win back the lost fans, but if I put myself in her shoes, I will first show the cute side of Xiaoli, and I will find a suitable time to confess to everyone the points that are not so popular with everyone."

Zuo Lingfeng said that the character he played in the film was burdened with strict family rules. "If the plot develops further, I think there will be more family rules between Hao Zha and Xiao Li on how to love their wives. There may be about 100 of them. In fact, couples should be patient for a while and calm down, but take a step back and 'the more you think about it, the angrier you get'."

Liu Tong, who plays Hao Zha's friend in the film, added, "A real overlord doesn't need someone to help him/her when he/she is in love. Here's a sincere suggestion for everyone: if you want to pursue someone, you must first make her feel your presence."

Jia Bing said that he was invited by the film's chief producer to participate in the film. "I actually only stayed on the set for one day, and I didn't know what to say. We had a lot of sparks on the set, and I didn't know the result until I watched the film today."

During the post-screening interactive session, Zhang Chiyu, the director of "The Lone Moon", said: "During the past Spring Festival, everyone ate too much 'big fish and big meat'. It's a good choice to change the taste occasionally and watch the small happiness brought by "True Love Business". The host Xie Nan said: "'True Love Business' has a light and transparent texture, just like a massage for the audience's soul. Now people often say that 'the praise at the premiere' cannot be believed, but this movie can really make us find our own happiness after busy work."

Comedian Cai Ming did not change her "venomous tongue" character in the past Spring Festival Gala skits when commenting, and joked that all the young actors in the film had to call her "Cai Ma" when they saw her. "I received a WeChat message from Liu Tong last week, saying that there was a movie starring Zuo Lingfeng and asked me to attend the premiere. He was embarrassed to invite you, but I was. Zuo Lingfeng, don't you know me?! Everyone sees that he is very free and easy in the play, but he is very shy in real life. In fact, many people in real life are socially anxious, but this does not prevent you from shining on the big screen."

"I started making movies when I was 19 years old. This morning (March 11), I just said goodbye to my old mentor, Director Yu Yang. He was the director and the leading actor in "The Handcuffed Passenger". You can imagine the pressure he was under at the time. In order to maintain his figure, he asked me to supervise him and only allowed him to eat a small bowl of rice a day... He dedicated his whole life to the Chinese film industry. The feeling that "True Love Business" gave me was that youth is great! As long as generation after generation of filmmakers come forward, Chinese films will always be there," said Cai Ming.
