Chapter Ninety-Four: Understanding Cinema
It's a beautiful place.
Even Chu Qing, who came from the countryside, always felt that this village was very beautiful.
The movie is ready to start filming around April, and now it is the beginning of March, Chu Qing and his party came to the village early not for anything else just to adapt to the life in the village, only after adapting to the life in the village, can the original things in the original book be shown in the true sense.
After all, Chu Qing and some of the actors in the crew are Han Chinese, if the Han people want to play the Miao people well, it is not possible for them to adapt for a period of time, a month is too short to some extent, some actors stay in the place of the script for three or four years in order to play a role well, and integrate themselves into that world as a whole, and even some subtle habits are like indigenous people......
Of course, Roda actually does not lack the experience of living in Qianzhou.
After all, Luo Da's father, Luo Yuncheng, had stayed in Qianzhou for a long time, and Luo Da had been living in Qianzhou until he was ten years old.
The birth of Nai He Mountain is closely related to Luo Da's life since childhood.
This village is called Shimizu Village.
Qingshui Village is not big, about one white and many households, and surrounded by water, only more than 30 miles away from Miao Village.
Qingshui Village has been established for more than 100 years, and about half of the ancestors of the residents are Han Chinese who fled at that time, while the other half are orthodox Miao people.
After more than 100 years of baptism of wind and frost, this village has formed its own unique culture, maintaining some traditions of the Han people and some customs of the Miao people, and Luo Da grew up in this place since he was a child.
Rhoda is familiar with the village.
"Qingzi, the Meng Xiaowu you want to play is a young man of the Miao nationality, you have a childhood sweetheart since you were a child, you have secretly vowed to marry her as a wife since you were a child, but as time slowly passed, she began to be no longer satisfied with the life of her ancestors, and finally left the village one night, walked towards the big city, and never came back, and you are still waiting for the girl under the big tree in the east of the village after finishing work every day, until the college student Wang Zhenzhen got lost because of travel and passed by here by chance, you met ......" After settling down Chu Qing's residence, Luo Fatzi pointed to the crooked neck tree in the east of the village, and began to explain the background to Chu Qing while taking Luo Da to familiarize himself with the situation in the village.
"Well, yes, a very infatuated person. Chu Qing stopped and looked at the crooked-necked tree and nodded.
"Have you read the novel?" asked Rhoda.
"Yes. Chu Qing nodded, when he decided to play the role of Meng Xiaowu well, he specially went to see Luo Da's "Nai He Mountain", the original novel of "Nai He Mountain", Luo Da used an ink painting writing style to write the emotions of the male protagonist Meng Xiaowu, which is what Chu Qing admires Luo Da very much.
Other novels will write about the psychological activities of the male protagonist, such as what he is thinking, what he wants to do is written in words, but the writing style of Nai He Mountain is not the same, for example, the male protagonist is very happy, the novel will describe a scenery such as the grass grows and the warbler flies in the spring and March, if the male protagonist is unhappy, he will describe those cloudy and heavy rain is about to pour, of course, Roda has good writing skills, these descriptions are connected, and they are very appropriate......
It is not so much that this "Nai He Mountain" is a novel, but that this book is an expansion of a movie script, and every description is just right for a scene, which is accurate.
Perhaps, Rhoda never wanted to write such a novel in the first place, but to make a movie?
That's what Chu Qing thought in his heart after reading the novel.
"Do you see something?"
"Ambition. Chu Qing hesitated for a moment, and then suddenly said this to Luo Da.
"Why do you say that?" Luo Da stared at Chu Qing tightly for a long time, as if he had known Chu Qing on the first day.
He originally thought that Chu Qing would answer the narrative style of the novel, what meaning he wanted to express, what deep connotation he wanted to convey, but even if he broke his head, he couldn't imagine that Chu Qing would answer like this.
At this moment, Rhoda suddenly felt as if he had found a soulmate.
After he finished writing the novel and handed it over to the publishing house for the publication of the novel, and the market response was good, he once openly asked some readers what they saw in the novel.
Many people say that Luo Da is ready to enter the novel industry, ready to give up the directorial road paved for him by his father Luo Yuncheng, and go directly to another literary and artistic road, while more people are commenting on the emotions in it, with endless sighs......
However, no one really saw the true meaning of the book.
Transcend!
He's actually an ambitious man.
He is not satisfied with Luo Yuncheng's protection, he wants to surpass his father Luo Yuncheng!
Moreover, this movie is a declaration of war between him and his father!
"Whether it is the storyline or the style of description, or even the central idea of the connotation, it follows the mainstream thought, and there are almost things of all ages, the old people see a kind of feeling, the young people see the poignant story of love, and the children watch the mythological story of witchcraft...... This novel can't be said to be a pure novel, or rather, he wrote a novel for the sake of movies from the beginning, so I see a kind of ambition between the lines, if this movie is shot according to the description in the novel, it will definitely be a classic of literary films!" Chu Qing smiled after saying this.
"I suddenly feel that you are very much like a person who writes novels, others only look at the outside, but you have already seen all the internal thoughts and internal organs......" Luo Da felt that Chu Qing was like a monster, usually looking simple and honest, but once he got serious, he seemed to be a different person......
"What do you think of Meng Xiaowu?"
"Meng Xiaowu is just a knife that breaks through the entire Nai He Mountain. ”
"Knives?"
"Well, he is honest and obedient, but he is not obsessed with the taboo that the old man said, he is very humble, but in the end, he didn't even want his life to save Wang Zhenzhen This is a knife to break through the taboo, so, I think you have ambitions! I searched your information and knew that your father was a very powerful director, this movie, no, you were born to surpass him from the beginning of this novel, right?" After Chu Qing finished speaking, he looked up at the sky and exhaled deeply.
That's how he understands it.
The air in Qianzhou is really good and fresh.
The mountains in the distance are also very beautiful, green mountains and green waters, in fact, it is also very good to vacation here in the future.
"I originally wanted to explain to you the understanding of the character and the plot, but now it seems that you don't need me to explain it at all, you have completely understood the role of Meng Xiaowu, if your acting skills are okay, then, I believe that this movie will become your famous work, and the classics are not certain. Rhoda laughed, "Perhaps, you will get the Best Newcomer Award for this part of the movie." ”
"The Best Newcomer Award is good?" Chu Qing suddenly asked.
"Well, it's good, among the tens of millions of actors, there is only one Best Newcomer Award, do you say it's okay?"
"There is a bonus?" Chu Qing suddenly became interested, feeling that after talking so much with Luo Da, he finally got to the topic.
"There is, but not much, the important thing is that there are trophies. ”
"Pure gold?"
"Gilded ......"
"Oh. Chu Qing immediately felt a little disappointed when he heard the word gold-plated.
Gilded, not worth much.
Therefore, for Chu Qing, in fact, the Best Newcomer Award cannot be exchanged for the most direct money, and it is just a decoration.
Luo Da was speechless when he saw Chu Qing's expression......
"You don't know what the Best Newcomer Award means to you?"
"I don't know. Chu Qing shook his head.
"Don't you have any pursuits? For example, winning awards, such as becoming an actor, such as becoming a big star who attracts the attention of the world?"
"No......" Chu Qing shook his head.
What is he pursuing, he has never even thought about these things.
“......”
Rhoda suddenly had a hunch.
Even if there is an actor's trophy in front of Chu Qing in the future, Chu Qing probably won't show too excited expressions.
Chu Qing seems to be very lacking in interest in this movie......
