Golden Rooster Award for Best Screenplay: Shao Yihui "The Myth of Love".

At the 35th China Film Golden Rooster Awards, Shao Yihui, who was nominated for the Golden Rooster Award for the first time with his self-written and directed debut film "The Myth of Love", surprisingly won the Best Screenplay Award. Regarding her award-winning speech, Hong Fan pointed out three winning points to "Today's Film Critic": The first is that the film has a romantic background and is very real and believable at the same time.

The second is that the film reflects the regional culture of Shanghai; the third is that it is close to the perspective of feminism. The seemingly contradictory romanticism and authenticity are cleverly combined in the narrative of "The Myth of Love", with images such as art movies, hand cream, and snacks all blended in.

The so-called tragedy of reality and the detachment of romance from reality are not concerns for young creators like Shao Yihui. Breaking through the rules, even contradictory things can be combined in a very interesting way. Regarding the Shanghai culture shown in "Myth of Love", Hong Fan continued to tell "Film Critic Today" that there were no landmarks in the eyes of outsiders such as the Oriental Pearl Tower and the Bund.

Instead, it is written from the perspective of local residents, such as the alleys and other spaces where they live. The protagonists walk around the streets to buy clothes, visit convenience stores, talk about how to cook, and drink coffee with shoe repairmen. The scenes are and characters are naturally integrated into the middle of the narrative, rather than deliberately expressed.

“Its Shanghai quality is not just a representation. In fact, from dialects to life-like scenes, it is more importantly about writing about people, a person who makes people feel that they are living in that place.”
