Myth of Love (Chinese: 爱情神话), also released as B for Busy,[1] is a 2021 Chinese romantic comedy drama film,[2] written and directed by Shao Yihui, produced by Xu Zheng, and starring Xu, Ma Yili, Wu Yue, Ni Hongjie [zh], and Zhou Yemang [zh].
The film was released in China on December 24, 2021. It attracted local attention because of its subject matter, a romantic comedy with middle aged adults as protagonists, and because of its rarity as a contemporary Shanghainese-language film.
The film tells the story of three women in Shanghai, Miss Li (played by Ma Yili), Beibei (played by Wu Yue), Gloria (played by Ni Hongjie) and their relationship with Lao Bai (played by Xu Zheng).[3][4][5][6]
The film was praised for its unique story and characterization, depiction of Shanghai life and culture, and its subversion of gender stereotypes.[7][8][9]
