　　The film is directed by Doze¹ Niu, whose 2010 film Monga received both good box office and criticism. But different from Monga, Love is a light-hearted, warm film, which tells a story that happened in two cities–Beijing and Taipei. It’s about eight lonely people searching for love. All that happens and every sacrifice that is made is all for love.

 

　　该片导演钮承泽曾在2010年执导了影片《艋舺》，当年《艋舺》虽然赢得了票房但也备受争议。但不同于《艋舺》，其新作《爱》是一部轻松温暖的影片，以北京、台北两地为背景，讲述8位单身男女寻觅真爱的故事。而发生的所有事情和所有人做出的牺牲都是因为爱情。

 

　　Even before the film was shot, its superstar cast made headlines. The film brings together several hot Chinese actors and actresses, including Eddie Peng, Ethan Juan, Fanny Shu and Zhao Wei.

　　如果你对钮承泽有所了解，你可能也听说过他是一位热爱表演的导演。在《爱》中，钮导就出演了其中一位主角并与舒淇展开一段浪漫史。

 

　　According to Niu, the film is inspired by a real story of himself being dumped. “It was awful when a woman you love is in love with someone else,” Niu said in the film premiere.

 

　　钮承泽在电影首映礼上表示：“你爱的女人却爱着别人，这是一件十分痛苦的事。”他也承认本片的灵感来源于自己被甩的亲身经历。

 

　　“But when I saw that guy, it suddenly dawned on me that, if you really love someone, you want nothing but her happiness.”

 

　　“但当我看到那个家伙的时候，我忽然意识到，如果你真的爱一个人，除了希望她幸福之外，你别无所求。”

 

　　Niu said by watching the film, he wanted the audience to be touched by the characters’ desire to find true love. But more importantly, he wanted people to understand more of what love is.

 

　　钮承泽希望影迷们可以被片中人寻找真爱的那份渴望所感动，但更重要的是，他希望人们更加理解爱的意义。

 

　　“True love, under any condition, is supposed to make you happy,” Niu said. “No matter it’s getting over somebody, or wishing that somebody well, or forgiving him/her.”

 

　　他还说：“无论在什么情况下，真爱都应该让你感到快乐。不管是两两相忘，或是祝福安好，亦或是原谅对方。”
