Perfect Life

Tianshuifu, a certain street, dusk. music - text

The filming location of "On the Road".

Li Qian and Wang Jingxue took the plane first, then transferred to the train, and finally took a van rented by the crew at the train station in Tianshuifu and came to the filming location of the crew.

At this time, the crew was filming, and Li Qian and Wang Jingxue were standing outside watching.

Wang Jingxue hadn't read the script, but Li Qian had read it and asked the recorder to review today's shooting plan, and he knew where this scene appeared—after escaping from his city, school, and family, he had no idea what to do with the two. For a child who is in adolescence, it is a great liberation in life, so no matter where they go, they can smell the breath of freedom.

So, for them, they don't have to study, they don't have to do questions, they don't have to face teachers and parents, and they don't have to think about every day of exams. City. When they are hungry, they find a place to eat, whether it is delicious or bad, but they are happy. When they are sleepy, they find a cheap small hotel to sleep in, even if they are bitten by mosquitoes several times.

Beyond that, they walk, they walk, they look, they look.

This is the most wanton time they have experienced in eighteen years.

So, be happy no matter what.

In short, this is almost the most comforting part of the entire movie.

After experiencing the initial happiness, they will face a series of problems successively, such as less and less money, such as some sinister things in the world, such as someone even trying to rob them of their money, and another example, they are also attacked by someone who looks very The poor liar, who defrauded himself of the small amount of money, was almost reduced to extreme poverty.

In a nutshell, the whole story goes like this: two little kids get tired of studying, they run away, then they steal money, run away, then they are happy, very happy, very happy, and then, one bad thing after another Appeared, they were stolen, robbed, deceived, until they were completely reduced to penniless wanderers. The whole story seemed to be suppressed to the extreme, and even the sky seemed to be overcast. They didn't know where to go, and then , they began to try to pick up scraps and sell them for money. Through a battle of wits and bravery with local scrap collectors, they got the first money they earned, and they were very excited. At this time, it seemed that the clouds in the sky were scattered. The man started to find the meaning of his life, and then, well, it was time for the abuse: the boy was admitted, and then, he decided to withdraw.

You can say that the director wants to reflect on something, or you can say that he is criticizing something. In short, these ten * will be a film that is highly praised by professionals, but hardly found in theaters that are willing to show it.

...

Tianshuifu in May, the sun is shining brightly.

Jin Han personally ran over and picked up the camera, leaving the assistant director Lu Shuangping to help him watch the monitor.

Li Qian leaned over and took a look at it, the picture was really beautiful.

A pair of young, beautiful boys and girls, each holding an ice lolly, walked and looked around on the street in the sun, occasionally looking back at each other, each other's eyes were full of happiness brought by freedom.

This shot is very long.

Li Qian looked at it and wanted to scold her.

This level of technology, this level of delicacy in handling stories and characters’ hearts, but it has to be used to make films that are destined to lose money. It’s really…

Li Qian has never despised art films, nor does he think that the responsibility of art films is to make money.

The biggest function of art films is actually to expand the boundaries of film performance—from the shooting techniques, from the narrative of the film, from all aspects, we can make explorations, develop more and more techniques for mature commercial films, and More and more mature routines, and then, let commercial movies take a lot of money.

But the problem is, for example, Spielberg, they filmed "Alien e.t." and "Jurassic Park" first, and then went to "Hidler's List"! If it's the other way around, if Spielberg shoots Schindler's List first and then Jurassic Park, look at how much box office Schindler's List can make!

Therefore, looking at the extremely beautiful picture on the monitor, Li Qian sighed and felt helpless.

...

In the Chinese film industry in the time and space where Li Qian once lived, there are so-called five generations of directors, six generations of directors, all the way to eight generations of directors. Age division.

Of course, there must be small circles, and it is inevitable everywhere.

For example, in the domestic film and television industry, there is a distinction between the so-called academic school and the grass-roots school, and according to another perspective, it can also be divided into artistic flow and commercial flow, and from another angle, it can even be divided into Both official and unofficial.

It is undeniable that although there are many non-professional directors who have succeeded, and even a group of them are quite outstanding, in terms of the success rate, the success rate of directors who have undergone professional training is still higher. many.

For directors who come from academies, the basic skills are generally solid enough, and the theoretical knowledge is well-rounded. Compared with non-professional directors who are self-taught, they naturally have a great advantage.

However, there are pros and cons, and there are pros and cons.

In front of non-professional directors, in addition to the difficulty in the beginning and the lack of help and support from senior brothers, more importantly, he lacked systematic film knowledge, so he often had to fight hard. , relying on extraordinary talent to spell out a path, but that's the only way, such a director, once successful, is often a genius level.

For directors from academies, regardless of their solid system knowledge, they have fewer innate limitations than those from non-professional backgrounds, but it is precisely because they have learned so many things that they are comprehensive, so many times, they start to do things. It is inevitable to be constrained. If it is not talented, it is often difficult to break the barriers formed by the theories and experiences of predecessors, textbooks, and professors.

For this reason, there was a long time ago in the industry that directors and actors who came from the grassroots were most afraid of not having ideas, while those who came from majors were most afraid of not having ideas.

With just these two items, at least 95% of filmmakers can be directly classified as ordinary film practitioners.

And among these people, there are actually quite a few people who were originally quite talented.

Jin Han graduated from Suncheon Film Academy and is undoubtedly an academy director.

As a filmmaker, he has been generally regarded as extremely talented since he entered the film academy. Later, a series of his works, even purely commercial ones, such as those MVs for Liao Liao and He Runqing, were also very good at Famous for engraving pictures.

Moreover, the most commendable thing is that although he was born in an academy, he was never constrained by the things taught in school. His films, its images, were always imaginative and imaginative.

Therefore, although investors will be reluctant to invest in him because of his successive failures, but in the industry, his evaluation is still excellent, and Li Qian, after carefully reading his past works, also He determined in his heart that one day in the future, he would definitely succeed - the only difference was whether it was a few years earlier or a few years later.

So, it's only a few million. In the face of the huge movie market that will soon come in the future, Li Qian would rather spend a few million more to let this guy go, and he must win over him when he matures.

What is the film industry lacking the most?

Talent!

The film industry is a typical business that depends on people!

Besides, although this kind of art film made by Jin Han is not easy to get the box office in China, as long as it is made well, at least not so that most of the audience can't understand it, then it is not impossible to make a return. !

...

Li Qian stood behind the monitor and watched, thoughtfully, while Wang Jingxue seemed to be more attentive than him.

She stared at the performance of the two people on the monitor very seriously, especially the frown and smile of her little sister.

Then, seeing that Li Qian was distracted, she couldn't help but leaned over and asked in a low voice, "I don't know how to act. Now, in your opinion, how is Xiao Lu's acting?"

...

"How's it going? I can tell you, great!"

While speaking, Jin Han raised his glass, touched Li Qian, raised his head, clucked, and drank another glass of cold beer.

It was rare that the big boss came to visit the class, and the filming of the crew was progressing quite smoothly, so Jin Han ended the afternoon filming early and took Li Qian out for a drink.

At the night market stalls on the street, there were dozens of people who hula la, and almost all the stalls were rounded up.

Li Qian, Wang Jinglu, Jin Han, Liu Ming, Lu Shuangping, Han Shunzhang, Zhu Mingyu, Wang Jingxue, Lv Rundong, etc. were sitting on a makeshift table. When it came to Wang Jinglu's performance, Jin Han almost slapped the table and praised it.

Gradually, when we were full of food and drink, many people in the crew said hello and went back to the hotel. Even Li Qian walked around the table. In the end, only Li Qian, Wang Jinglu, Wang Jingxue, Jin Han and Han Shunzhang were left. , Zhu Mingyu and several people were sitting.

Jin Han drank a lot, but his thoughts were still quick. Seeing that everyone was talking about their own, he held Li Qian and whispered to him about what happened in the crew some time ago, and then repeatedly said that it was all right. son.

Li Qian didn't seem to be angry at all when he heard the words, he just said in a low voice: "Xiaolu told me long ago, it's ok! If my woman doesn't even have someone she likes, doesn't it mean that I have a good eye for it? Too bad! He likes it if he likes it, even if he likes it for a lifetime, as long as he doesn't have any wishful thinking, I don't bother to bother with him."

But after a pause, he still said: "But, in the future, your play, my play..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jin Han patted his shoulder and nodded, "I understand, I understand!"

Li Qian smiled and had a cup of tea with him.

To a certain extent, just these two sentences mean that Lu Rundong will no longer be able to take on any role in Li Qian's series of film and television dramas in the future - wishful thinking will always be punished, isn't it?

...

Until 10:30, Li Qian and Jin Han were already a little drunk, and they sat and muttered together for a long time. Then Han Shunzhang was responsible for paying the bill, and everyone went home.

Back in the hotel room, Li Qian didn't even bother to take a shower, and threw himself onto the bed at once.

Wang Jinglu laughed and pulled him up to take a shower, and finally pulled him into the bathroom, but he pulled him in with his backhand. Tao Hong and Li Qian looked satisfied.

Only then did the two lie down on the bed and whisper.

"Tell me the truth, what do you think I'm doing?"

"This... It's hard to say right now. The part I watched today can only be regarded as your true performance, because you are so beautiful in the first place. You can't see the acting in this kind of drama. In my opinion, this drama, The more you go to the back, the more you can see the acting. When you finish filming, Lao Jin will definitely get the company to cut it. Then I will go and see your later scenes first. I can watch it now, but it is too troublesome to adjust the film. , Besides, people like Lao Jin hate others to meddle in his filming, not good!"

"Oh…"

"However, I heard Lao Jin and Lao Han's words inside and out, and I am full of praise for your performance outside of acting!"

"Ah? Outside of acting? What?"

"Pretend, just pretend... You handled Lu Rundong's matter very well. You gave him a step down. In fact, you gave Lao Jin face, and you will make everyone around you think that you have weight and belly... People who don’t take small things in their eyes will think that you can achieve great things, so to a certain extent, the bigger the things that you don’t take into account, the more people will think you are amazing…”

"Oh, okay, okay, it's yours again. Are you twenty-one or sixty-one? Just like an old man, no matter what happens, you can have a big reason for your life!"

"Hehe... Okay, let's not talk about it, anyway, you are very smart, and you can always do it well if you do what you feel. I am different. You have to experience everything, even suffer losses, in order to gain wisdom... "

"By the way, why did my sister come with you again? She also brought me a dozen salted eggs, saying that my mother made them..."

"Huh? Is it? Salted eggs? That's right, I've been craving this recently, you don't know, since I was a child, I remember my dad muttering to my mother, saying that my mother's pickled sauce must be sour, and pickled eggs must be salty, in short You just can't do these things, your mother's craftsmanship should be good, right? I'll try it tomorrow morning..."

"Well, good. Hey, you said, my sister came here, wouldn't there be something wrong? She just came here with my mother, only ten days ago, and now she came back suddenly... I think she looks like a It looks like you have something on your mind!"

"Then how do I know to go, anyway, she didn't tell me, if you think she has something on her mind, you can have a good chat with her before we go back!"

"Well, that's right! Hey, then you lie down first, and I'll go chat with her for a while!"

"Hey...I said, didn't we agree to let you rest for a while, and we have to do it again later! Hey, you..."

...

After returning to the room specially arranged for herself, Wang Jingxue simply took a shower, then turned on the air conditioner, and lay on the bed to start a daze—not sleepy, and she had nothing to do, except for being in a daze, she didn't know that she still had what can be done.

Thinking of last night, thinking of my mother's smile this morning, thinking of the extremely handsome profile on the plane, thinking of Xiaolu's pure and refined appearance, thinking of directors Jin Han and Zhu Mingyu's heartfelt praise to Xiaolu...

From childhood to adulthood, at home and outside, Wang Jingxue was a strong enough girl, but compared to her, Wang Jingxue seemed a little obedient, so in my impression, Xiaolu always followed her obediently. It's almost what she says, what she asks her to do, she doesn't even have any questions, she just does what she does.

Therefore, she has always believed that the weak girl needs to be protected by herself.

But now, or rather, in the past two years, she has gradually discovered that perhaps the real situation is exactly the opposite of what she has always known.

Is the little girl weak?

She is never weak!

She just looked very quiet and seemed a little innocent.

However, along the way, she has chosen the right direction in almost everything, and she can always handle things mellowly and neatly at the same time.

Back then, when she liked Li Qian, it was almost a matter of unanimous opposition from the whole family, and even her own sister did not approve of her - until Li Qian's sudden rise, in fact, proved that her vision was outstanding!

Liao Liao and Zhou Ai suddenly began to fight each other with the help of the media. It was inconvenient for Li Qian to come forward and make trouble. And this kind of thing, no one else could get involved. At that time, no one could have imagined that the little Wang Jinglu would suddenly stand up.

She is Li Qian's girlfriend, a real girlfriend, which even Liao Liao and Zhou Ai can't deny, but you must know that in terms of achievements, status, influence, and even life wisdom, she was not yet twenty years old at that time. In front of Liao Liao and Zhou Concubine, there is almost nothing that she can dominate, but her lukewarmness and simplicity actually persuaded this fight!

Of course, this incident can be understood to a certain extent that Liao Liao and Zhou Ai are both afraid that they will not be able to end the trouble in the end, and they are actually hurting themselves, so in fact, they are not showing face to Wang Jing, let alone They are afraid of her. In the final analysis, they are actually giving Li Qian face, and they don't want to make Li Qian unable to step down.

But the question is, at that time, who could know the true thoughts of the two of them?

If it were another person, such as myself, would I calmly try to persuade me as a little sister?

So, she did it, did it, that's done it, done it!

There is no fluke.

As for now, she seems to have made up her mind to act and become an actor, but not to rely on Li Qian, a big tree, to be a quiet wife of the Li family, Li Wang. At present, no one can Make it clear that her choice this time is right or wrong. However, Wang Jingxue believed that the little girl must have her own considerations in her heart.

Maybe this time, she will continue to be right!

Don't say anything else, such as the thing Zhu Mingyu quietly told himself this time... If it were him, it is estimated that he would not have handled it that way. However, the facts now prove that the word-of-mouth of so many people in the crew proves that she did it well!

She was still so tepid, still so calm and composed.

And in this respect, it seems that he will never be able to be like her... Perhaps, this is why Li Qian likes her so much?

Because he is also a young adult!

…

Wang Jingxue leaned against the head of the bed and sighed quietly.

At this moment, there seems to be a movement from the next door - the hotel is not high-end, and the sound insulation is not good.

Knowing that the room next door was Xiaomei and Li Qian, Wang Jingxue listened attentively almost subconsciously—there was the sound of water, it was loud, and then, there seemed to be a faint... moan?

Wang Jingxue pouted, her face turned slightly red, but her expression turned disappointed.

They also... started in the bathroom?

Wang Jingxue took a breath, couldn't help but grabbed the pillow and covered her face - did she accidentally listen to the corner of the two of them?

...

The sound of the water kept rushing, groaning and moaning.

Wang Jingxue stared blankly at the ceiling, not knowing where the pillow was thrown.

...

Finally, there was no movement there.

Wang Jingxue sighed, lifted the quilt, and got in.

...

She kept her eyes open like this, looking at a certain place in her line of sight, dazedly fascinated.

Countless pictures from the past were tossing and turning in my mind.

She stood in front of him with a stubborn face and said confidently, "Hello, I'm singer Wang Jingxue."

In front of the sickbed, she was dressed in ancient costume, holding his big hand, listening to his dying words with tears in her eyes.

That night, when she woke up in the middle of the night, she took the phone that didn't belong to her, sent a text message that no one would ever know it was from her, and then stared at the reply text message and looked at it... In the end, she could only be silent. deleted.

"This winter, I'm going to make an album for yourself, get ready," he said.

He looked down at his high heels.

...

boom! boom! boom!

Someone knocked on the door.

Wang Jingxue was stunned, and UU was reading www. uukanshu.com asked subconsciously, "Who is it?"

"Sister, it's me!"

Wang Jingxue heaved a sigh of relief, lifted the quilt to get up, but hesitated for a moment, lowered his head, and said, "I've been on the plane and train all day, I'm exhausted, I want to sleep, I'll talk about it tomorrow, okay? "

There was a moment of silence outside the door, and then the little sister responded softly.

"Oh, that's fine, then you go to sleep first!"

I listened carefully, she was wearing slippers, and there was a clicking sound of slippers.

Then, the door rang, and the door closed again.

Wang Jingxue suddenly fell on the bed, her eyes blank.

After a while, she suddenly whispered to herself, "What should I do?"

Can I ask for some tickets? (To be continued.)
