Huayu Tianxian: This director is such a hypocrite!
Chapter 54 "Roots" 1
9 month 15 day.
Beijing Film Academy Grand Theatre.
At eight o'clock in the morning, the theater entrance was already crowded with reporters and audience members.
A few minutes later, the door clicked open, and the group squeezed inside.
At the Beijing Film Academy Grand Theater, reporters were led to their designated seats by staff, while audience members followed closely behind, finding their seats according to their assigned numbers.
"Number twenty in the first row?"
Liu's mother murmured twice, and when she arrived at the designated location, she was immediately shocked.
This location is extraordinary!
The judges' seats are to the left front, and the audience on both sides are all people from the drama industry and teachers from the Beijing Film Academy.
I remember Xixi telling me that Ye Chong gave it to me?
Liu's mother had a complicated expression.
She already knew what Ye Chong was thinking. She could use Qianqian's underage status as an excuse to fool him before, but what about in the future?
Judging from my daughter's expression...
"President Yang! Welcome, welcome!"
"Director Wang, welcome, welcome!"
Xie Fei arrived, accompanied by a group of professors, while on the other side were people from the Drama Association and the Drama Theatre.
This morning was Ye Chong's play. After watching it, the judges gave their evaluations and scores on the spot, focusing on an on-the-spot execution.
A few minutes later, as the audience entered, the theater gradually became noisy.
The huge venue was covered with red carpet, the red curtain on the stage was half-drawn, and several bright spotlights illuminated the stage.
At exactly nine o'clock, the host went on stage to announce that the play was about to begin.
"Dear guests, esteemed judges, welcome to the Beijing Film Academy..."
"Next, please enjoy the play 'Roots,' directed by Ye Chong and performed by the 02 Acting and Directing classes!"
"Clap clap clap..."
Amid applause, the stage curtain slowly opened, and the spotlights changed from single lights to diffused lights.
The stage setting for the play was very simple: a huge rectangular backdrop with a bed (the bunk bed type) inside.
Wang Jingsong sat on the edge of the bed, his face pale, talking to the prop mannequin on the bed.
"Old Liu, why did you go? Didn't we agree to return home in glory together?"
As he confessed, everyone understood the core of the play: the return of the corpse to its homeland.
The audience thought it was a serious topic, but the very first scene made them burst into laughter.
The stage setting was changed to a large bus, which was packed with students from the Class of 02.
Just as the bus was moving, Ye Chong and Zhu Yawen, two scoundrels, boarded the bus.
Liu's mother's eyebrows twitched. Ye Chong on the stage had a large gold chain, gold teeth, and wore sunglasses.
What kind of outfit is this?
Ye Chong led Zhu Yawen onto the bus, holding a metal detector in his hand, and gave everyone a wicked smile: "Fortune favors the bold, and evil is born from courage. Just letting you know, this is a robbery!"
They were robbers!
This outfit, combined with that lewd smile, would actually suit him perfectly as a robber! That's what Liu's mother thought.
"This five hundred is mine, you can have it. This five thousand belongs to Lao Liu, you can't take it."
Wang Jingsong's tone reveals a seriousness and a taciturn nature, vividly portraying a straightforward migrant worker.
"Hey?" Ye Chong put his hands in his pockets and sized up Old Zhao. "What you're saying is the biggest insult to my industry. I rob the world, I steal from the air, is there anything I can't take?"
"Hahaha……"
"Giggle giggle!"
A burst of laughter erupted from the scene, and the broken Henan dialect only added to the humor.
The so-called layman looks at the excitement and the insider looks at the doorway.
Seeing this, the bigwigs on the judging panel gradually understood the tone of the story: comedy against a backdrop of tragedy.
"It all depends on how he carries it off," Yang Qianwu said.
Xie Fei, standing to the side, stroked his chin thoughtfully.
This unofficial disciple excels at dark humor, given that his first film was a movie like "The Unknown".
Things went much as he expected. After hearing Old Liu's story, the robber lifted his sunglasses, glanced at the puppet Old Liu, and confirmed that it was indeed dead. Ye Chong then raised his hand and shook the gold ring and gold bracelet on his wrist: "I understand, this is called returning to one's roots, finding peace in the earth!"
He gave a thumbs up: "Cheerful, damn brave!"
After saying that, he threw the money in his hand into Wang Jingsong's arms: "This money is all his, and nobody is allowed to touch it!"
Ye Chong got out of the car, but something completely unexpected happened.
The people in the car silently retrieved their belongings, but that wasn't the end of it. The next thing they said was that they were disgusted by the dead man.
Wang Jingsong had no choice but to carry Lao Liu off the bus.
"The contrast between robbers and ordinary people is truly striking!"
Yang Qianwu let out a long sigh of relief.
There was laughter, but the irony was undeniable.
The most ironic thing happened next: the driver, also from the lower class, stole Wang Jingsong's money.
In order to avoid calling the police, he had no choice but to swallow this bitter pill.
Fortunately, a dull young man fell for them, but unfortunately, they eventually parted ways.
Wang Jingsong had no choice but to embark on the journey once again.
There was a conveyor belt set up in front of the stage, which took a lot of effort from Ye Chong.
Wang Jingsong's hunched figure, coupled with his superb acting skills, drew everyone into the story, as if they were all accompanying him on his journey to carry the corpse back home.
Along the way, there were several more small scenes.
First, they encountered an old man who was holding a funeral for a living person, who kindly gave Old Liu's corpse a pill to slow down the smell of the corpse.
Then I met a young man cycling to XZ, and inspired by his passion and ambition, I set off again.
As a result, he walked too fast, causing the stroller to tip over. The stroller was totaled, but he was not seriously injured.
He found a tire and stuffed Lao Liu inside. After the car overturned again, he decided to spend some of Lao Liu's compensation money and rent a car while he was at it.
Who knew... the money was fake, and he even got beaten up.
So he decided to bury Old Liu.
The grand theater was quiet; at some point, everyone in the theater fell silent.
As the story becomes increasingly poignant, director Ye Chong focuses on the small stories encountered on the journey, connecting all the people and stories to create a narrative told by ordinary people.
"That's great!"
"yes."
Wang Xiaoying breathed a sigh of relief. This play had low-grade props and sets, but top-notch actors and a top-notch story.
"This is still an original work, right?"
"Yes!" Xie Fei's eyes crinkled into several layers of wrinkles as he smiled. "The school asked this kid to create something original, and this is what he came up with."
Wang Xiaoying nodded and exclaimed, "This is enough to make a movie."
On stage, Lao Zhao, who was rescued by the beekeeper, gave up his thoughts of suicide and burying Lao Liu, and embarked on his journey again.
This time, the scene is a small grove of trees.
As Wang Jingsong walked along carrying the doll, two figures suddenly appeared beside him.
"Hahaha……"
A burst of laughter suddenly erupted from the scene.
Liu's mother also peeked out reproachfully, but after searching for a while, she still couldn't find Ye Chong's figure.
On stage, Zhu Yawen's puppy-dog running posture was very professional!
His four legs moved so naturally on the tracks that Yifei almost couldn't help but burst out laughing.
On stage, Yifei wore black eyeshadow, and her long, straight black hair was tied up with a sparkly headband. She wore a delinquent-style leather jacket and short skirt, revealing her fair belly and thighs, while her calves were covered by high-top combat boots.
"hiss……"
A collective gasp rippled through the audience.
This fairy-like woman is so pleasing to the eye!
What is her role?
