Chapter 159: Responsibility

Xu Wangqiu pretended to be a brain, not a tadpole. Although Su Bai's words made him very excited, he quickly calmed down. Things are obviously wrong, Su Bai was resolute in the past, how did he go to the front line for more than ten days, his attitude completely changed, and he asked softly: "Su Bai, what happened?"

Su Bai sighed slightly and said, "I went to the front line this time to interview several outposts, and one outpost was attacked by the Vietnamese shortly after we left, and one of the soldiers was seriously injured. I interviewed that fighter, and I love singing. When I went to the interview, he asked me to sing, and he sang to us, and he sang really well. When I saw him in the hospital, he was almost dying, and said to me with difficulty, "Sister, you can sing a song to me!" I sang to him, but the more I sang, the more uncomfortable it became, and finally I couldn't help but run to the side and cry. Speaking of this, Su Bai couldn't hold back the surging tears, and hugged Xu Wangqiu and cried.

Xu Wangqiu thought that Su Bai didn't say this in the afternoon, because he was afraid that I would worry, so he gently patted Su Bai's back and comforted him softly: "Don't cry! Don't cry! What are the soldiers bleeding and sacrificing on the front line for, just so that we in the rear will not shed blood and tears, so we don't cry, we must live well, and we must live happily, otherwise the blood of the martyrs will be shed in vain." ”

Su Bai cried for a while and continued: "When I interviewed the fighter, I asked him what his name was, and he squirmed and refused to say. After his death, I asked other people to know that his name was Li Qianping, because it was a girl's name, he was embarrassed to say. He was only eighteen years old, and died at such a young age. Life is too fragile, and it may be gone at any point. For the past two days, I've been thinking about whether I would regret if I had been hit by an enemy bullet and died on the front line? I think I would really regret it, I still have a lot of things to do, so I don't want to leave regrets for myself. ”

Xu Wangqiu hugged Su Bai tightly and said in a reproachful tone: "Su Bai, don't think nonsense. You'll be fine. Even if the sky falls, I will carry it! Even if Lord Yama really doesn't open his eyes and wants to trouble you, I will beat him flat!" He comforted softly: "Don't think so much, you've worked hard these days, go to bed early!"

Su Bai said softly: "I woke up from crying, and I can't sleep now." ”

Xu Wangqiu said, "Then tell me about the soldier named Li Qianping." ”

Su Bai asked, "Do you want to hear about his deeds?"

Xu Wangqiu nodded slightly and said: "There is an inscription on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier on Red Square, your name is unknown, and your merits will last forever." Since we know Li Qianping's name, we should try to keep his name alive. I wanted to put him in the story of "The Falcon" so that more people could know the name and know his story. ”

Su Bai didn't have much contact with Li Qianping, and during the interview, he didn't talk much. Su Bai knew more about Li Qianping after he died, listening to what his comrades-in-arms said. However, the comrades-in-arms didn't know much about Li Qianping's situation, they only knew that he was from Ningcheng, his parents were workers, and he had two older brothers. As for why the family gave him the name Li Qianping, no one can say.

After listening to what Su Bai said, Xu Wangqiu let Su Bai sleep, got up from the bed by himself, and took out the script to change it. He changed a character from "The Falcon" to Li Qianping, a young warrior who was very fond of singing and was seriously wounded while fighting the enemy. When he was dying, the only hope was for his comrades-in-arms to sing a song for him, and finally Li Qianping slowly closed her eyes in the singing of her comrades-in-arms.

It was already four o'clock after the script was changed, and Xu Wangqiu was afraid of waking up Su Bai, so he lay on the table for a while. Since he only slept for two hours, after arriving on the set, his mental state was obviously not good, and he looked like he was sleep-deprived.

On weekdays, Xu Wangqiu was fierce and fierce, but now as soon as Su Bai came back, he became sluggish, which naturally caused a lot of associations. Tang Guoqiang said to Zhou Lijin: "The color is a bone-scraping steel knife, it's really true, you see that as soon as Su Bai came back, Wangqiu withered." Xu Wangqiu glared at Tang Guoqiang angrily: "You just wilted, the whole family withered!"

In the evening, the crew practiced for Yuan Heping, Xu Wangqiu originally planned to pay for it himself, but in the end Yuan Heping paid for it. His reason for paying for it is very simple, how much do you only pay for this film, and what is my income? Don't fight with me. This meal cost more than 2,000 yuan, which can be said to be quite extravagant.

After dinner and dinner, back at the guest house, Yuan Heping pulled him to his room, saying that he had something to say to him. Yuan Heping poured two cups of tea and gave Xu Wangqiu a cup. I drank a little too much wine just now, and drinking some strong tea can relieve hangover. After taking a few sips of tea, Yuan Heping looked at Xu Wangqiu and said seriously: "Wangqiu, you are the most powerful director I have ever seen, your imagination and creativity are unparalleled, it is really a pity that you stay in the mainland." I think you should go to Xiangjiang to develop, if you go to Xiangjiang, you will definitely be able to get better development and become a world-class director. ”

Xu Wangqiu thought to himself that there can't be world-class directors in the mainland, Zhang Yimou and they are all them, and chuckled: "I believe that as long as the movie is good, no matter where you are, you can become a world-class director, Xiangjiang is very developed, but I can't make the movie I want in Xiangjiang." I like war movies, and Xiangjiang is not a good place to make war movies. Take "Falcon" as an example, can it be filmed in Xiangjiang?"

Yuan Heping continued to persuade: "Isn't Changfengxin merged into a Yindu institution, you can also cooperate with Changfengxin when you go to Xiangjiang." When you arrive in Xiangjiang, you can have more choices, and money and beauty are at your fingertips, how much money do you make "Falcon". ”

Xu Wangqiu knew that Yuan Heping would say this because he regarded himself as a friend, and said with a smile: "Money beauties are very tempting for any man, but for me, there are more important things than money beauties." ”

Yuan Heping was a little incomprehensible, so he said: "What is more important than money and beauty?"

Xu Wangqiu said lightly: "I don't want our younger generations to be proud of watching Hollywood movies, chasing Dongying anime, and Harbin Korean idols in the future, I hope they will be proud of our culture." I think people should still have a sense of responsibility, and that's the responsibility of us filmmakers. ”

Yuan Heping suddenly remembered Xia Meng, who was popular all over China, but she received the same salary as ordinary employees at the Great Wall. Run Run Shaw wanted to dig Xia Meng to Shaw Brothers, and he managed to get Xia Meng's phone number. After his phone call, Xia Mengyi said sternly, I want to make a movie for the revolution, and I will not work for the capitalists.

Yuan Heping really couldn't understand such a person, shook his head and said: "I can't understand you leftists, I think you are too tired to live, I am not as great as you, the country, the ideal, it is too far for me, making money to live is my pursuit." But I still admire you people. I've said this for nothing. I hope we will have the opportunity to work together in the future. ”

Xu Wangqiu thought to himself that I was not a real leftist/faction, and I did not have the great ideal of liberating all mankind, I was still more realistic, and said with a smile: "There will definitely be a chance to cooperate, I will make a lot of commercial blockbusters in the future, many of these movies have fighting scenes, and they need the best martial arts design, and you are the best, I will definitely come to you when the time comes." ”

Yuan Heping said with a smile: "I am a money-loving person, as long as you give me enough money, my soul can be sold to you!"

Xu Wangqiu laughed and said, "Then we will decide." ”

The next morning, Yuan Heping set off for Xiangjiang. Xu Wangqiu couldn't send it in person because he wanted to film, so he asked Su Baidai to send it himself. In the evening, Xu Wangqiu and the others drank another drink, so the participating troops were leaving, and they would definitely have a meal with the troops. The army is really cruel to drink, not only how good the amount of alcohol is, but also how many people there are. Zhang Yimou, Zeng Lianping, and most of the crew were all drunk.

Xu Wangqiu also drank a little too much, but he didn't drink it anyway. It's not how good he is, it's that Su Bai protects him and doesn't let others pour it. At first, Su Bai didn't care about Xu Wangqiu, but when he was a little drunk, he resolutely refused to let others pour him.

After the participating troops left, Hekou County was much quieter, and the life of the crew was no different from before, everyone went out early and returned late every day, and everything was going on in an orderly manner.

Su Bai spent most of his time writing manuscripts in the hotel, writing about the six female soldiers in the telephone class, the soldiers in the cat's ear hole, and the martyrs who sacrificed. Su Bai originally planned to write a reportage, but after reading the manuscript, Xu Wangqiu gave her a suggestion to write a book called "Faces", paste a photo of the soldier in the book, attach an introduction to the soldier, and then write the story of the soldier. A photo, a story, so that the reader can better understand these fighters, but also better appreciate their sacrifice and dedication.

Sometimes Su Bai would go to the crew to watch Xu Wangqiu and them shoot. Except for chatting with Bao Qijing, most of the time she sits quietly, and she never interjects when the crew discusses anything. But when she needed help, she was always eager to help. Sometimes she would buy a little snack to bring to the crew and distribute it to everyone, and these snacks were bought from the department store in the county seat. Everyone in the crew likes Su Bai and thinks she is a very cute girl.

Xu Wangqiu is not a lazy person, but now being a director is not as easy as in later generations, there are a bunch of assistants and assistant directors, and now he has to take care of many things in person, so his life is very irregular, plus writing and painting, the room is always messy, not only there are accumulated dirty clothes, but also all kinds of useful and non-useful manuscript paper.

After Su Bai arrived, Xu Wangqiu's room immediately became much cleaner, all the manuscript papers that were not used were thrown away, the useful ones were neatly placed on the table, and the clothes were changed every day. The long hair that hadn't been cut for a few months also made Su Bai cut it with scissors, and the whole person looked much more energetic.

Every day after dinner, Xu Wangqiu and Su Bai would go outside for a walk and take a walk. The crew all said that they were golden boys and girls, and that they both loved each other deeply, because their eyes were always shining when they looked at each other.

However, happiness was short-lived, and the day of the start of the university was soon approaching, and Su Bai had to return to school. This semester, their journalism major will be interning at the newspaper, which she is particularly looking forward to. Su Bai, like countless college students in this era, has a sense of mission and always wants to do something for the country and the people. Interning at the newspaper undoubtedly gave her the possibility to do things, and this is exactly what she is looking forward to.

"Falcon" has only filmed a quarter of the scenes so far, and it is estimated that they will not be able to return to Peking to shoot indoor scenes until early November, and the two will have to wait two months to meet again, so the two of them are a little reluctant.

That night, the two of them finally did what they had to do. That's exactly what it is: "A thousand trees bloom on the night of the east wind." More blows down, stars like rain. BMW carved cars are full of fragrance. The sound of the phoenix flute moves, the light of the jade pot turns, and the fish and dragon dance all night. ”

When he got up in the morning, Xu Wangqiu smiled at Su Bai: "Old girl, you're early!"

In Rongcheng, many people are used to calling their wives "old girls". When Su Bai heard Xu Wangqiu call himself like this, he couldn't help but blush slightly, pursed his lips and smiled: "Haba'er, you're early!"
