A brief introduction to the story of the film Sapphire;
Li Xiaoni, an immigrant girl from Anhui, works as a cleaner in a high-end jewelry store. Although she doesn't earn much money and works hard, Xiao Ni is content to find a husband in Shanghai. Xiao Ni's husband, Ding Hao, works as a courier. He has no ambition, but he is sincere and simple. In Ding Hao's eyes, Xiao Ni is the first and the lottery is the second. Ding Hao pinned his dream of making a fortune on the welfare lottery, won the prize and made a small fortune; If you don't win, donating money to welfare is a good deed.
The days of the young couple are happy and sweet because of their wedding. As compensation for not having a honeymoon, Ding Hao decided to take Xiao Ni out for a visit. Among Lugu Lake, Qiandao Lake and Yangcheng Lake, Xiao Ni chose Yangcheng Lake for the simple reason that it costs less. At the long-distance station to Yangcheng Lake, Xiao Ni met Fang Lin and his wife who bought a sapphire diamond ring for180,000 at the jewelry store where they worked last time.
Fang Lin is actually the owner of a jewelry store. Xiao Ni has just arrived and has no chance to meet her. Fang Lin and his wife signed up for a trip to Yangcheng Lake because they wanted to relax in a different environment, because Fang Lin, who had a successful middle-aged career, began to find that she had lost too much for her career. Song Yiqian, now in her forties, a childless lover of a university professor, seems to weaken the life of husband and wife, leading to a rich but boring life.
The joy and happiness of the young couple immersed in their honeymoon infected Fang Lin, but deeply stimulated Song Yiqian. After returning to Shanghai from Yangcheng Lake, Fang Lin received an anonymous letter. The envelope is full of intimate photos of her lover Song Yiqian and a young girl. Fang Lin was very angry about this, but after years of cultivation, Fang Lin kept a calm face and consulted a psychologist. Actually Fang Lin already had feelings, but she didn't know that her lover Song Yiqian had been adored by student Gu Bingbing.
Song Yiqian was walking on thin ice between his wife Fang Lin and Gu Bingbing, while Fang Lin found a dull happiness in Xiao Ni and Ding Hao. After Fang Lin regarded Xiao Ni as a confidant, Xiao Ni, under the influence of fellow countryman Jane, resolutely persuaded Kiway to quit her job and started a dry goods business with the support of Fang Lin. Xiao Ni, who tasted the sweetness of doing business, believed the wholesaler and put all her eggs in one basket. As a result, she was punished for allegedly selling dry goods with excessive toxins.
Xiao Ni can't accept the blow of losing money in business. She was in a hurry and went to the hospital, but she was surprised to find that she was pregnant. The joy of expectant mothers diluted Xiao Ni's trouble of losing money in business, and made Xiao Ni completely intoxicated in Ding Hao's love arms; After her husband Song Yiqian and Gu Bingbing fell out, Fang Lin was faced with a huge choice. Fang Lin's 300,000 yuan solved the threat and entanglement of Gu Bingbing. Only Fang Lin knows that the husband who spent 300,000 yuan to get back is still wandering outside.
Wonderful point of view:
This movie is a digital movie about modern marriage. The director chose the background of the story in Shanghai, a modern international metropolis, to make the love life of two couples of different ages and identities more authentic and representative. The film uses "sapphire" as its title, only borrowing its Latin meaning of "blue" and the eternal meaning of love, but the ending of the film tells people inside and outside Fortress Besieged that the real lasting love does not lie in sapphire and ruby.
