"Eating, Running and Love" landed on Youku as a "dark horse", and the popularity of the broadcast topped the platform within 4 hours, and there were almost zero negative reviews on the whole network.

This is adapted from Douban's high-scoring novel "Money Worship Romance", which uses "class differences" as an incision

tells the story of the two-way redemption of a rich boy Gan Yang (played by Chen Feiyu) and the small-town struggling girl Ding Zhitong (played by Zhuang Dafei) from campus heartbeat to reality tearing, and then to reunion in the workplace ten years later.

With the double-line narrative of "first love on campus + reunion in the workplace", and the profound issues of class difference and pure love,

and Chen Feiyu and Zhuang Dafei's tense performances, which were praised by the audience as "2025 years of the current puppet ceiling", and were even compared with the phenomenal hit "You Are My Glory".

However, unlike the fairytale romance of the latter, this drama tears apart the truth of the struggle between love and bread of contemporary young people with sharp strokes of realism.

Gan Yang (played by Chen Feiyu), a running boy, and Ding Zhitong (played by Zhuang Dafei), a part-time student, became attached because of a USB flash drive

From the heartbeat of the tacit test with a full score to the romantic confession of the birthday on a rainy night, every frame is full of the freshness of "juvenile and pyrotechnic intertwining".

The details in the play, such as Gan Yang's silent guardianship of buying medicine for Ding Zhitong with menstrual pain and adjusting the order of interviews, were praised by the audience as "sprinkling sugar is not industrial, and it is so sweet".

Six years later, Ding Zhitong became an investment banking elite who made a decision, but Gan Yang became an entrepreneurial worker from the "second generation of shoes" due to the bankruptcy of his family.

The two reunited as Party A and Party B, and the surface was estranged but the undercurrent was surging - eye contact at the negotiation table, a synchronized soaring heart rate on the large screen, and an uncontrollable hug after being drunk......

This kind of extreme pull of "love is difficult to open in the heart" shows the restraint and desire of adult love to the fullest.

Some critics think that the opening three times missed the "bluntness", but in fact, this is the director's deliberate use of montage techniques to create a sense of destiny in Zhongzhong. The exaggerated value of heart rate 190 is a romanticized symbol to highlight the impact of reunion, which has nothing to do with medical reality

Actor: Second generation star? Resource Coffee? Strength is the last word!

Chen Feiyu: From "Arthur" to Gan Yang, acting skills have transformed to break prejudice

Three years ago, the rebellious genius Li Xun in "Ignite Me, Warm You" made Chen Feiyu among the top, but he was also silent due to public opinion controversy. This time, he challenged a more layered role: in the early stage, he was a sunny and wanton campus male god, and in the later stage, he was a down-and-out son with family responsibilities.

In the play, he faced the scene of his eyes red but holding back tears when he broke up, which was praised by the director as "the ultimate emotional investment".

In order to get close to the role, Chen Feiyu learned running posture and entrepreneurial knowledge three months in advance, and even designed Ganyang's signature dish "plum sauce" himself.

Zhuang Dafei: Tear off the label of "Princess of the Beijing Circle" and interpret the textbook of the counterattack of the poor family

From the rebellious girl of "Rock and Roll Crazy Flowers" to "The Annual Meeting Can't Stop!" Zhuang Dafei challenged the complex role spanning ten years:

When I was a student: I wore no makeup and ponytail, rode a bicycle through the campus, and wiped the shelves during my part-time job, accurately portraying the fatigue and stubbornness of poor students.

The queen of the workplace: At the negotiation table, she killed with a cold face, stepped on her high heels and stepped on a "sister" aura, and when she confronted Gan Yang, she said "I'm not here to reminisce about the past", and instantly stood up to the "Black Lotus" character director Yu Zhongzhong commented that she "The crying scene is very infectious, and the scale of the red eyes is more delicate than that of Coban".

Chen Feiyu and Zhuang Dafei's "car window kiss" was not broadcast, and the breathing from temptation to sinking was staggered, and was named "the ceiling of the current puppet kiss scene" by netizens

Lin Boyang (as Song Mingmei) contributed a highlight clip: when he was coquettish to his mentor for credits, his emotional transformation from cunning to grievance was praised as "seeking girl-level performance".

Chen Feiyu went on a hunger strike for two days for a breakup scene, Zhuang Dafei ran for ten hours in a row at a high temperature of 40 °C, and the crew even spent money to create a "Running-themed City Art Exhibition" to bring the romance in the play into reality.

Instead of ridiculing Chen Feiyu's background, let's see how he uses the role of Gan Yang to break the label of "facial paralysis".

The success of the premiere of "Eat, Run and Love" lies in its refusal to levitate!

"Eat, Run and Love" may not be perfect, but it dares to face the class trauma in love and break the idol drama routine with a double-line narrative, which is worthy of encouragement.

Although Chen Feiyu and Zhuang Dafei's performances are young, they are sincere enough.

Capital can push people to the stage, but it is always the quality of the work that retains the audience.

At least this time, they proved with popularity and word of mouth that resources and strength may not be incompatible.

On the day of the broadcast, there were more than one million barrages on Youku, and the topics Chen Feiyu and Zhuang Duffy broke the mirror and reunited to the top of Weibo's hot search

Perhaps, as the lines in the play say: "On the road to becoming yourself, you will eventually run towards your dreams and TA." ”

This work polished with sincerity deserves a blockbuster seat.
