导演阐述 Director’s Statement

2020年年初,导演因网络上的一篇长文获得灵感,遂发起这个暂定名叫《七日》的项目,成为本片的首个模糊的雏形。

这部长片电影讲述的是四个女人的之间细腻柔和的相处过程,电影的主基调无疑是凄美的。本片中的四位女性性格经历迥异,又各富魅力,在这四个女人的影子背后,师生情谊与陌生友谊这两条线的交织网下,导演还深藏了更多点到为止的思考,无论任何年龄与性别,都会思考的对于生命的意义。一层一层的意蕴内涵口味绵厚、层次丰富,众多的细节被隐藏在这个简单的故事中,等待观众一起来细细品味。

最终的片名选定为《她听她的故事》,以体现出女性与女性之间惺惺相惜、共情共景的能力。导演也想借由本片,让更多人关注女性这一群体的特殊魅力,也通过最动人的镜头笔触,将女导演的细腻、深刻、坚韧展现出来。

In early 2020, the director was inspired by a long article on the Internet, and launched this project tentatively titled “Seven Days”, which became the first vague prototype of the film. This feature-length film tells the story of the delicate and gentle relationship between four women. The main tone of the film is undoubtedly poignant. The four women in this film vary greatly in personalities and experiences with individual charm. Behind the shadows of them and beneath the intertwined network of teacher-student friendship and strange friendship, the director also provides hidden insights reflecting the meaning of life that will be thought about by people of all ages and genders. The layers of meanings and connotations as well as rich details are hidden in this simple story, waiting for the audience to savor it together.

The final title of the film was selected as The Story Teller to reflect the ability of women to appreciate and empathize with each other. The director also wants to use this film to draw more people to pay attention to the special charm of the female group, and also to show the delicacy, depth, and tenacity of female directors through the most moving shots.
