Mizushima(Masahiro Motoki) , a famous cosmetician, went to Shanghai with his team for a music fiesta's make-up work. After duty, he took a stroll in the street but soon found got lost. Then a small accident introduced Lin Yi (Zhaowei) to him. They stayed together for a whole night....Finally, Mizushima had a better understanding in himself and the relationship with his girlfriend/assistant Minosan (Naomi Nishida), eliminating his perplexity about the life.
This movie's title is "The Longest Night in Shanghai". Just in this night, everyone of Mizushima's team had found something valuable for his/her life. In daytime, they were all pressed tightly by heavy routine work and had no spare time to consider what has lacked in their life and where their future will be. Mizushima's occurrence had given him an opportunity to experience the life without his assistant, making him know himself better. Meanwhile, his lost also make it possible for other team members to experience a distinct night-time and show their true emotion.
I feel it's a bit like"Lost in translation". People found their missing true emotion in a brand new metropolis. So I call it the Shanghai version of "Lost in Translation". Nevertheless,although there is a suspicion of imitation, it is still worth a rating vote of 7 and recommendation owing to its entertaining plot and script, and cast's performance.
