Chapter 430: Filming Completed, The Pianist's Destination
How is this possible?
The smoke is really on!
This means that the temperature of the strings is very high now.
This also shows how fast Hong Chen's song just now.
Outside the play, Johnson was also incredulous, he was speechless in a daze, and he didn't know how to describe the feeling now.
He thought that no one would be able to play this tune, but now, Hong Chen couldn't help but play it, and he used the strings to drop all the smoke.
Amazing!
He didn't know what to say anymore.
The group performers, including the crew, burst into a burst of cheers!
Johnson felt that he could not stay any longer, said "I will call back", and turned away.
He knew that here, there was no need to be a technical consultant at all.
Hong Chen's piano skills are far from being comparable to him.
But how is this possible?
An actor whose acting skills are at the pinnacle, he won the fight against Connor and surpassed him on the piano......
Is this man a monster?
Johnson glanced back at Hong Chen, the first time he had such a great fear of a person.
Yan Chi was excited at this moment, came to Hong Chen's side, and said, "Damn, you're too good, you can really pop up, why didn't you say it earlier." ”
Hong Chen rubbed his aching fingers and shrugged, "You didn't ask me, and besides, your hands do hurt." ”
At this moment, Hong Chen was already sweating profusely.
When playing this song, the fingers need to move violently on the one hand, and sometimes the amplitude is too large to tear the hand muscles, and the pain makes him sweat a little.
Therefore, before Hongchen could spend money to solve it, he spent money to solve it.
Yan Chi looked at Hong Chen now, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that Hong Chen was a treasure.
With the hand that Hong Chen lit a cigarette just now, he almost didn't scream!
Seeing Yan Chi's appearance, Hong Chen glanced at him with disgust, frowned, and said, "What kind of eyes are you?" ”
"Haha, fuck off, uncle. Yan Chi scolded with a smile.
The relationship between the two people is good, and it is understandable to complain about each other.
However, Hong Chen's hand just now was strong and solid, which made Yan Chi admire him.
"You're not going to be an alien. Yan Chi looked at him and said very seriously.
"No, if you're an alien, you won't be able to give birth to peace. Yan Chi thought about it and denied his thoughts.
Hong Chen was speechless for a while.
However, tonight, Hong Chen played the piano and lit a cigarette, but it was completely circulated on the Internet.
Of course, because there is no video, many people don't believe it.
But more and more group performances are talking about it, which has also caused some sensation.
As for the video, this scene is the core of the movie, and the crew will naturally not circulate it, and the audience will only be able to see it until the day the movie is released.
Then, the shooting continued.
Hong Chen's last operation naturally completely crushed Jerry who came to challenge him in terms of strength, and he won the cheers of the people and became famous.
But he still didn't choose to get off the ship.
Later, a businessman came with a gramophone to record his music, and said that his music would sell millions of copies.
But when Hong Chen heard the music he was playing coming out of the gramophone, he snatched the black disk and shouted, "My music can't leave me." ”
While playing music, Hong Chen saw a girl, a girl who made him fall in love at first sight.
The girl was very beautiful, with a somewhat melancholy temperament, like a flower that had just begun to bloom.
Then, the genius pianist, who had not been off the boat for twenty-seven years, fell in love.
Hong Chen tried to talk to him in front of the mirror, his demeanor was very nervous, and his sentences were a little jerky, like a middle school student who met the girl he liked for the first time.
But he never had the courage to strike up a conversation.
It wasn't until the moment the girl got off the boat that Hong Chen rushed over and chatted with her about the past.
It turned out that the girl's father used to be Hong Chen's friend.
The girl also obviously had a good impression of Hong Chen, and told Hong Chen's address when she was leaving, hoping that he would come to her.
From the meeting to the separation, the two people are full of romance everywhere.
After the girl left, Hong Chen's fame reached its peak, but his friend Mark could see that he was no longer as happy as before.
In this way, after the cruise ship traveled a few more times, Hong Chen finally decided to get off the ship!
On the day he got off the ship, all the workers on the ship came to see him off. They cheered and congratulated Hong Chen on his success.
This is a very beautiful scene, a huge cruise ship, a long gangway, Hong Chen is still elegant and generous, and a person slowly walks down.
But when he was halfway there, he froze.
He looked at the country with high-rise buildings and the huge steel city, and became suspicious.
You must know that at this time, it was the beginning of the 20th century. Having just experienced World War I, the Industrial Revolution was at its peak.
The city is shrouded in black clouds, the tall buildings are like monsters, people are busy chasing the dream of making a fortune, and waves of crazy dreamers are pouring into the city.
And Hong Chen, he is an elegant pianist, who has been at sea all his life, full of romance, and is incompatible with this world.
Hong Chen's performance here was still perfect, his pupils trembled slightly, and the fear and hesitation in his expression became stronger and stronger.
It went on like this for a long time before he made up his mind and walked towards the ship without looking back.
He gave up the landing.
He still chooses to live on a ship.
Cruise is his destination.
After that, Hong Chen continued to play on the Virginia.
This play is told from Mark's point of view, and Mark later gets off the boat, and the story of Hong Chen ends.
Later, after many years of World War I, Mark returned to the docks to find that the Virginia had been scrapped, rusted, and lost its original color.
Workers were planting explosives on the ship, and it turned out that today was the day the cruise ship Virginia was blown up.
Mark firmly believed that Hong Chen was still on the ship, so he took the only music disc that Hong Chen had recorded that year, bought the person in charge, and came to the cruise ship.
It's long gone, and there are signs of ruin everywhere.
After so many years, the bustling cruise ship has completely left only a broken empty shell.
Mark held the gramophone and played the music played by Hongchen in one place after another.
This is a very bleak scene, which makes people can't help but feel a little sad when they see it.
Eventually, in the cabin, Flood Dust appeared as Mark had hoped.
He's still elegant, he's still straight, he's still like a gentleman.
Seeing him appear, Mark wept with joy and began to cry there.
Because by now, he was probably the only one who remembered that there was once such a pianist at sea.
The two chatted, and Mark said that the ship was about to explode and hoped that Hong Chen would be able to disembark with him.
Mark told it well, saying that he could make a big band, saying that he still had a lot of stories to tell, and that this was his end and his starting point.
And Hong Chen looked at him, smiling reluctantly, his eyes were confused.
Next, is the longest monologue of Hong Chen in the whole film.
This scene is a great test of the actors' acting skills and line skills, Hong Chen is as good as ever, and people can't help but be amazed after watching it.
"That city, I don't see the end of it. ”
"Everything was fine that day on the gangway and I was really planning to get off the boat as well. But it's not what I see that stops me, it's what I don't see. ”
"The city is sprawling, devouring everything, but it has no end. ”
"Take the piano as an example, the keys have a beginning and an end, and eighty-eight keys are limited. And you are infinite to create infinite music. ”
"But the city, there are thousands, tens of thousands of streets alone, it's like God's piano, there are millions, tens of millions of keys, how can you play beautiful music? Obviously, you are sitting on the wrong bench!"
This is actually to illustrate Hong Chen's experience and personality all along, that is, he is afraid of the unknown, afraid of what he doesn't know.
"How heavy it was in that world. ”
"I was born on this ship, and the world passed by me. There are dreams here too, just dreams between the bow and the stern. ”
"That's all I learned. ”
"Land, land is too big a ship for me, it's a piece of music that I don't know how to play. ”
"I can't leave the ship. ”
"But I can leave my life. ”
Hearing these words from him, Mark kept crying. He knew that Hong Chen's destination was this ship, and now that the ship was about to explode, Hong Chen would no longer exist.
It was a chaotic time, chaotic and full of desperate dreams.
In the end, Hongchen was still on the cruise ship, and disappeared completely with the cruise ship. In this world, only Mark knows about the existence of Hongchen.
This is a sad story.
Those who empathize with it may weep over what happened in 1900. Of course, there are also those who think, why didn't 1900 choose to disembark?
There is another interpretation of this film.
That is, Hong Chen is actually a fictional character of Mark, and he is the state of the musician that Mark dreams of the most.
The most obvious evidence is that the cruise ship has been scrapped for many years, how Hong Chen survives in the scrapped cruise ship, and how he still maintains the same posture when he appears.
"The Pianist at Sea", like "Titanic", is a way of reminiscing in the form of a person's storytelling. The stories of Hong Chen are all from Mark's mouth.
In Mark's eyes, the character of Hong Chen is perfect, elegant, and even a little dreamy.
Mark is the reality, and the flood is the ideal.
This is the end of this story.
