Poverty alleviation variety show goes to the countryside, my talent can no longer be hidden

Chapter 610 Tear Gas

After a brief black screen, the scene moved to the third unit.

The opening scene is a group of scenes of making Kongming lanterns, which is a clue throughout the film.

Then the scene changes, and what comes into view is a familiar yet unfamiliar scene - yellow mud ground, small mud houses, all kinds of people crowing chickens and barking dogs, and those familiar red slogans on the walls of the streets...

Following a naughty little boy, the camera moves all the way to the big playground, where he plays basketball, kicks a ball, jumps rubber rope, plays games... With the bright red "1961" at the bottom of the screen, it takes people back to that passionate era in a second.

It was not until this moment that everyone suddenly realized that this was a long shot!

A set of long shots lasting two minutes, full of showmanship!

At this moment, Liu Miaomiao remembered the shocking super long shot in the first episode of "Day and Night Chase"... This feeling is very familiar!

Moreover, the protagonist in the first shot was a handsome boy, which aroused her interest.

Finally, uncles and aunts are no longer the absolute protagonists!

boom!
The explosion not only startled the little kids on the screen, but also scared the audience in the theater.

It came a bit suddenly.

Immediately, these naughty kids ran towards one place.

“It exploded again!”

"There's smoke, there's smoke, I can see the smoke!"

"Hurry up, hurry up, if you run too slowly you won't be able to see!"

"Wait for me..."

Liu Miaomiao was a little confused and asked her father in a low voice, "What exploded?"

"Rockets." Father Liu replied immediately: "This place is for researching launch vehicles. They failed several times in the early stages of development."

Liu Miaomiao nodded. She had seen the news about China's successful launch of XX rocket every day and had become numb to it. She felt that launching a rocket was as easy as eating and drinking. It turned out that China's rockets could also fail like this?
As a group of naughty kids climbed onto the roof, the camera slowly moved towards the billowing smoke in the distance.

At the same time, a "poem" written in a flamboyant style appeared in the upper left corner of the screen.

The director’s name is marked below: Zhou Hao.

poetry?
Liu Miaomiao frowned and was stunned for a moment. Isn’t this about rockets? What does it have to do with poetry?
I know that you, Zhou Hao, are very good at writing poetry, but you wouldn't show off your poetry in a movie like this, right?
Then the scene changed, and Zhou Hao in work clothes appeared in the camera.

Liu Miaomiao was shocked again... What the hell, was this a self-directed and self-acted show? !

How come there was no news before? !
Zhou Hao also felt a little weird seeing himself on the big screen for the first time.

Originally he had no plans to act in this movie, but as luck would have it, the male lead chosen by the crew had some "small problems" during the Z review process and was forcibly eliminated.

Zhou Hao originally planned to find someone else, but assistant directors Zhang Mo and Su Man gave the same opinion - what are you looking for? It's a waste of time, just come up and take over!
There aren’t many scenes anyway!

Zhou Hao thought about it and agreed.

Originally, the core of this drama was the female lead, and the male lead’s role was mostly living in memories, which was very small.

In addition, the filming time had to be compressed by three other big directors, so Su Man's role would definitely not be reduced if possible, so the only option was to continue to compress the male lead's role.

With a few cuts, there will be even fewer roles left for the male lead, which will basically not affect the director's work, so it doesn't hurt to give it a try.

After compression, the protagonist's story almost flashed by. After explaining his identity and work, it immediately moved on to the family part.

Under the dim oil lamp, Zhou Hao, wearing a vest, was writing furiously with a cigarette butt in his mouth.

Seeing this scene, Liu Miaomiao couldn't help but quietly swallow her saliva. I didn't realize that this guy has such a good figure?

He looks thin when dressed and has muscles when undressed. Look at the muscle lines... ugh.

Damn, Xu Lingyue is so happy!

On the other side of the picture, Su Man, with her short hair, is knitting a sweater under an oil lamp.

Although she was wearing a plain face and coarse linen clothes, she was still breathtakingly beautiful under the light.

Thinking about the glamorous Wang Manchun seen in "The Disguiser" yesterday, and then looking at the simple and honest character in front of her, Liu Miaomiao truly felt for the first time what a good actor's character-building ability is.

She doesn't need any marketing brainwashing, nor does she need to rely on voice-over to force people to listen, and she certainly doesn't need the "amazement and exclamations" of passers-by in the film. She just needs to sit there and she is the character herself.

In this plot, the element of "poetry" appears for the first time, and the male protagonist smiles and says that he wants to write poetry for his children.

The warmth of the family was fleeting, and a shocking explosion sounded again. The camera was directly aimed at the child's face... a close-up with clear meaning.

Everyone knew that his father was gone.

When they got home for dinner, there was a plate of stir-fried meat on the table. The brother and sister ate with gusto, but their father's seat was empty.

"It's delicious." The girl with pigtails put some food into her father's bowl and said, "Leave some for Dad."

The kid was eating his meal while asking, "Where did this meat come from?"

The mother replied somewhat numbly: "Your father's colleague gave it to you."

"Where's Dad?" the kid continued to ask, "Where did you go last night?"

The mother was stunned for a moment, picked up the steamed bread, took a bite, and forced a slightly stiff smile, "I'm going to buy some meat for you."

The two children did not suspect anything and continued to eat with relish.

Somehow, Liu Miaomiao suddenly felt a little sore in her eyes.

Although she had already guessed the direction of the plot, she still felt a little uncomfortable.

Is it true that good acting is so contagious?

It turns out that "explosive acting" does not require yelling to make people empathize?

As the plot develops, she also learns for the first time that there is a profession called "gunpowder engraver"... a job that walks on the edge of danger all day long, and one could lose one's life at any time if one is not careful.

The little brother wanted to look for his father's whereabouts, but he was caught red-handed, and his mother was called over to take him away.

In the dim light before dawn, mother and son walked side by side on the quiet path.

The child's brother kept asking about his father's whereabouts, and the mother could only give vague answers.

When she returned home and looked at the poem note her husband left behind, her emotions completely went out of control and she covered her mouth with her hands, crying like rain.

But even in this emotionally broken situation, she didn't dare to cry out loud, for fear that the two children would know...

She didn't cry, but many viewers in the theater were already crying out loud.

This includes Liu Miaomiao.

For the first time, she understood that crying scenes don’t necessarily have to be hysterical, and cathartic performances are not a big deal. This kind of restrained performance can sometimes be more touching!

It is difficult to judge the quality of the film for the time being, but she can at least conclude that Su Man is indeed a good actor.

And this movie...is likely to be a tearjerker!
