Li Yuan crossed the river in a small boat, he sat on the bow of the boat, helped the gang, and looked back at the river beach where he was standing just now, Qing Ling's eyes were staring, and his black eyes were shining with sparkling waves.

Goodbye, fellows of the sunk, I'm going to the front.

The style of Dong village swims by like a painting.

When Li Yuan saw the old wooden structure of the teaching building, he showed a little joy, the creaking staircase, the floor with mottled marks, and a very old bell, he reached out and pulled the rope, knocked it a few times, and it was spread far and wide.

Li Yuan started the class.

He lectured his students about the Song of Ele...... The sky is blue, the wilderness is vast, the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep.

"You haven't been to the grassland, have you? But the teacher has been, and when the teacher was studying, he saw a lot of poems written about the grassland in the ancients.

Leaving the grass on the plain, one year old and one withered, the wildfire is inexhaustible, and the spring breeze blows and grows.

You close your eyes and think, the boundless grassland, stretching from the soles of your feet to the places you can no longer see, not only in front, left, right, back, all the same, and as soon as you look up, wow, the sky is high and the clouds are vast, and you are like the only one standing on this ground, there is no block, there is no difficulty, you take a deep breath, and the whole world is sucked in, and then exhaled out, as if the far and far are also blown by the breath you exhale......

So the teacher went to the grassland, with some friends who love to travel, although there are a lot of mosquitoes, the food is not palatable, the grass is much higher than I imagined, but when you really stand on the grassland, you find that it will be greater than you imagined, more open, and your mind seems to open up all of a sudden. ”

Li Yuan closed his eyes, tilted his head, opened his arms, and had a satisfied smile on his face, as if he was really in the prairie.

The student below, staring at him with two eyes, looked at him in bewilderment.

Erqiu glanced at Xiaohua, opened his arms slightly, let out a strange "oh", and then twisted his body.

Burst.

This joke is common to the audience.

Li Yuan on the podium was extremely glowing—this was a solution that Ji Ming and Wen Yan finally agreed on. In order to show that he likes ancient poetry, he wants to teach only ancient poetry, which is certainly not in line with the Chinese's vision, so this design on the original script was removed at the earliest.

So after taking it out, how to emphasize Li Yuan's obsession with poetry, which is his motivation and motivation for doing everything, must be strong enough to be convincing.

The method is to devote himself to the teaching of poetry.

Li Yuan stood on the podium, and he had to be under the podium, two people. Li Yuan on the stage is radiant, passionate, possessed by a poet, and never tired - he is warm, bookish, and curious.

This contrast is enough to tell all those who understand, or do not, poetry, Chinese or foreigners, understand that Li Yuan is so fascinated by this matter.

"It felt a bit flat. Fei Fei said to Cheng Yi.

"I think maybe the whole rhythm is like that, there are no particularly violent conflicts. Chengyi adjusted his sitting posture: "But it doesn't look very boring - I still have a little feeling, I don't know if you have it, but the whole picture is very full, from Li Yuan to elementary school, after communicating with students and principals, it seems that the picture is a little more than something, in addition to the entire composition layout, these invisible things, let me have some emotional stirring feeling." ”

"So mysterious?"

"Actually, it's just a little bit, I don't know if it will be more obvious later. Or maybe I'm just mistaken. ”

......

The mountain rain is dripping, the whole Dong village is covered with a puff of mist, occasionally there is a cooking smoke rising, and it is suddenly dispersed by the rain curtain.

Li Yuan sat cross-legged under the eaves, gently swayed his body from side to side, and carefully looked at the appearance of the raindrops falling on the ground for a while. He raised his head and looked into the distance, where there was a villager, dressed in a smock robe, hurrying home.

"The streams and clouds gather everywhere, and the mountains and rains come suddenly, and people don't know. Xiaohua, do you know what this poem means?"

Wang Xiaohua hugged her knees, looked at a small pit on the ground that was smashed by raindrops, and shook her head.

"It's about a mountain like ours, where the villagers go to the foot of the mountain to work, and there are clouds and mist halfway up the mountain, so there are rain clouds on the top, and no one can find it. And when the raindrops fell overhead, they felt, oh, it's raining, hurry home. Li Yuan took a deep breath: "Isn't it particularly life-like, in fact, poetry is not just a thing in books, we can feel a lot of poetry in life, just like now." ”

"Teacher Li, will this poem be examined?"

This abrupt question made the rain curtain seem to stop.

"Huh?" Li Yuan's innocent and joyful eyes suddenly froze: "Don't take the test, what's wrong?"

Although he was asking, Wang Xiaohua glanced at him and clenched her hands.

"If you don't take the test, you don't even want to listen to it?"

Wang Xiaohua admitted it silently.

She was fed up with the fact that the teacher kept teaching poetry in Chinese class, not learning reading comprehension, and not learning to form sentences...... Poetry, poetry, poetry can be used? This anger was suppressed in her arms by Li Yuan's faint anger.

Li Yuan looked at her for a while, and his anger reined.

Swish.

The anger that was pressed in his arms seemed to sense that the other party was constricting, Wang Xiaohua suddenly sat up straight and leaned forward half of his body: "Why study if you don't take the test, it's useless if you don't take the test, why waste our time if it's useless?"

Like an angry buffalo calf.

Li Yuan seemed to be startled, he leaned back, opened his eyes wide, blinked, and confusion appeared in his eyes.

He didn't know what to do anymore.

Something was broken, something he hadn't discovered, revealed.

The little flower ran away with a thud.

The back is flustered.

Li Yuan looked at her back for a long time, and then turned back to the rain curtain, the same rain, the same people, but it seemed that what shrouded here was no longer pleasant and poetic, but brutally impacted - the raindrops falling from the sky, with the momentum of seeing death as home, crashed into the ground.

......

Fei Fei and Cheng glanced at each other.

Sure enough, it's not a mistake.

Li Yuan and Wang Xiaohua, I go in and out, that confrontation picture, emotions are almost about to be revealed, Li Yuan's emotions - when he felt comfortable at first, the scene was casual, even warm, when he realized that Wang Xiaohua was only willing to learn things that were helpful for further education, and then realized that his own devotion and self-touching in the recent period seemed to be just a bubble and a lie, he began to be angry, so Xiaohua was nervous.

He converged, retreated, and the florets erupted in a stressful manner, advancing.

Until the end, the raindrops turned into swords and killed the ground, and all the peach spring-like beauty brewing in front of them seemed to be blown the death knell.

......

Judge Léa Seydoux was born into a family of filmmakers, grew up in the atmosphere of films, and she is a very experienced actor and observer. In "The Life of Adele", her performance is also full of a flash of plain romanticism - she discovered Ji Ming's performance characteristics earlier than Chengyi.

In fact, when he appeared on the riverbank, Seydoux felt the influence of him as the center of the whole picture on the whole base temperament.

All the way until he lectured.

and then the conflict between him and Wang Xiaohua in front of him, restrained.

Seydoux finally determined that Ji Ming's "octopus-style" performance style, his emotions are outward, like many tentacles, releasing emotions and perceiving emotions. Therefore, when there is an opponent in the picture, this extreme cohesion will make you feel as if the picture is flushed with sensitivity, and all kinds of reactions are slight, or violent, hidden, or fangs and claws, internal, or outward, will appear when the character's brain has not yet reacted.

It's so special, it's a bit like being partially boosted in the refresh rate, and the smoothness and convincing power are multiplied.

Sitting next to her is Wen Yan, and Director Wen actually realized this problem when she cut it to the end - in fact, in a sense, she took Ji Ming's emotional spread as a main core, and cutting around this main core was not as difficult as everyone imagined, and it was beyond imagination, leaving a purer movie.

There were hundreds of audiences in the theater, and some of them began to step on the rhythm of the film, and the viewing experience gradually became more comfortable.

The other part, after the first thirty minutes, gradually became a little impatient, especially for foreign audiences, poetry is an important hurdle that not everyone can overcome - one person left.

The smoothness of the film is unquestionable, in addition to the skill of camera movement, the internal emotional connection, and all the switching are also linked.

Li Yuan was talked to by the principal.

Began to have a conflict with the villagers over the teaching philosophy.

The brief confrontation with Wang Xiaohua began to tear apart the illusion of this peach blossom source, the illusion woven by his self-deception - he heard the story of the immortal descent from Erqiu, such a poetic story.

A long, long time ago, the ancestor of the Dong people, a beautiful woman, she climbed to the immortal to collect herbs, accidentally slipped and fell, when she was about to fall off the cliff, an immortal appeared, he took her to walk above the sky, towards the blue and twilight sea, accustomed to seeing the vicissitudes of the world, the moon rises and sets.

He collected the essence of the sun and the moon, asked the woman to take it, and brought her back to the immortal descent, and then dissipated.

The woman who was haunted by her dreams sang an affectionate and beautiful call to the sea of clouds in the mountains - this is the original appearance of the great song of the Dong people.

The woman who returned to the cottage found out that she was pregnant, and after being expelled by the ancestral ethnic group, she moved to the foot of the mountain where the immortals descended...... They worked together and sang together, and they formed the current Dong village.

Li Yuan was stupid.

He climbed up to the Yuxian Fall.

There was a stout crooked neck tree, and on the tree there was a silver wind chime, which was supported by a red cloth band, and fluttered and clanged in the wind.

Ji Ming gave the first performance that won applause from the audience.

The indulgent Li Yuan almost dances with heaven and earth, Ji Ming's "emotional octopus-style" performance method is vividly played, when the object is a person, a kind of fine control is indispensable, especially when working with amateur children, it is even more demanding. But at this time, a person, with the clouds, with the distant mountains, with the mist, almost completely released the energy in his heart, he was angry, he was wronged, he was silent...... When Ji Ming was filming this scene, he almost had heart failure.

Eventually, it all ended up being lonely.

Li Yuan put the empty second pot head into his pocket, tilted his head, pursed his mouth, and patted it: "Everyone is responsible for caring for the environment." ”

Phew!

Quite a few people laughed.

There were even people who applauded for the second time, presumably as an environmentalist.

The movie has been played so far, about more than a third of the way, and I can still sit still, and it is estimated that I have adapted to this kind of "Chinese" expression of conflict - in Western movies, you often see hoarse outbursts, big close-ups, the camera is in front of your eyes, and the emotions are like fire, rushing to the audience's mind, giving you the most direct shock and resonance.

Of course, there are also depressed and introverted ways abroad, just like in "The Godfather", when De Niro saw his daughter die for him blocking a gun, the emotional tension of silence but extreme grief was also extremely shocking.

There are also many of these in Chinese movies now, because the performance method of modern drama is roughly transmitted from abroad.

But Li Yuan's emotional release in this period of the immortal descent.

Very Chinese.

Look at Li Bai, he is actually depressed, but the poems are full of immortals, three thousand feet, picking stars.

You look at Du Fu, he is extremely poor, he is still like a knife, the country is broken by mountains and rivers, the city is deep in spring and grass, he lives in poverty, he is still heroic and atmospheric, he will be at the top of the mountain, and he can see the mountains at a glance.

Look at Tan Sitong again, before drinking hatred, I went to the sky from the horizontal knife to leave the liver and gallbladder two Kunlun.

All kinds of emotions can be expressed with great precision between opening and closing.

The arrogance of poets and literati makes them have to express and release even negative emotions in this way.

Li Yuan is, he didn't yell at the cliff, saying why are you so blind, rat-eyed, and camping, you are all garbage, you all deserve to die, you are no different from pigs, horses, cows, sheep, and other domestic animals, all of them are sitting and eating and waiting for death.

He confronts heaven and earth in poetry, and also confronts heaven and earth, I am also great, I am also small, I am hugging in the mountain wind, lonely as a stone, should I be the only one who should be sad?

......

"This little segment has another kind of Chinese movie look. Director Jia, who hadn't spoken much, suddenly said a word to Xu Zheng beside him.

Xu Zheng nodded: "Very different from the Chinese movies in my impression?"

"At least that's what Cannes would think, it's risky. This kind of performance is easy to overdo it, a bit like our magic fairy movies and TV series, if you can't get rid of the superficial things and take out the connotation inside, it will become a farce. ”

"What do you think of what he did?"

"Can't say it was perfect. Director Jia shook his head: "But it's a very valuable performance, and it's worth digging into." ”

He paused and thought for a moment: "I think especially modern people, ordinary people, ordinary people, you, me, is there such a thing, tsk, I don't know how to describe it, let's just say the wind and bones, ordinary people, ordinary people who draw camps in order to make a living, they must also have these things, which is inevitably given to us by the cultural background, so where is this style and bones in them? How should it be presented? It is certainly not simple, what is the courage to do righteousness, to collect gold, or the courage of a husband, it is too difficult." ”

Xu Zheng tasted the product: "I think the director of the text, or Ji Ming, may not have this awareness." may be this theme, and then brought out this way of acting, you may not know very well, Ji Ming, an actor, is very magical, the ability to pick out the script and the background of the plot is very strong, and he can be particularly closely integrated into it every time. This time, I think it may be that he naturally derived from the plot and is now this set of performances. As for what sinicization, or even what you said, maybe not in his consideration. ”

But in fact, he has contributed to the international community a new look of Chinese cinema, at least a shadow with clear outlines. And in this direction, there is indeed a lot of room for excavation. ”

"You can talk to him later. ”

Xu Zheng felt that Director Jia's tone was a bit casual, and he couldn't help but contribute another look to the new look of Chinese movies, and this hat was too big.

Ji Ming doesn't necessarily want to wear it, and he doesn't necessarily want to wear it.

No matter what country the performance is or what it is, in fact, there are only two kinds of good and bad - because it is sinicized, it is not good or bad, only meaningful?

Xu Zheng shook his head.

The movie continues.

李元知道了风铃是王小花父母的定情信物，他试图用这种诗性的爱情来感召王小花，但适得其反。 The entire Dong village squeezed him stronger and stronger - in Wen Yan's final version, the shaping direction of a group drama was completely abandoned, and the villagers, principal, and other students of Dong Village all became "city people" who tore off their masks in Li Yuan's eyes. They regard their children's grades in their main subjects as the highest, and they blame people who "don't do their jobs properly" and have three views that conform to worldly standards.

Let Li Yuan feel the persecution in the city again.

The appearance of volunteer teacher Wang Yan is an opportunity.

With a skillful posture that she was very familiar with both concepts, she wandered and dealt with it, alleviating the contradictions, and also giving Li Yuan a chance to breathe.

In the classroom, a conversation between Wang Yan and Li Yuan.

Like a miner, she dug out the things in Li Yuan and Wang Xiaohua's hearts, and then put them together for Li Yuan to see, look, you are the same as hers - Li Yuan was shocked, shocked to find that he was the kind of person he hated, using his own standards to frame others, and thinking that he was taking others to liberate, but in fact, it was just a competition for prey and snatching it, so he was self-satisfied, this kind of degraded material desire was the same as those ordinary people he hated.

Ugly.

This rival scene is the biggest conflict in the whole play, Qi Xi's performance is very good, the tightness is moderate, only the afterimage is seen when he is playing fast, and when he is playing slowly, he is full of charm. Ji Ming is even more challenging, he stands in the light and shadow, and all the inner and superficial conflicts reflect each other with the natural light and shadow.

When he realized that he was ugly, he hid in the shadows, and when his heart conflicted, the lines of light and darkness wandered across his face.

With the control of expressions, the control of limbs.

It's like a trapped beast, sometimes crawling out of a humanoid skin, sometimes being suppressed into it.

The sense of drama is extremely strong.

This time, the applause was driven by the professionals in the front row, and the other audience who were shocked responded with it, so it was a big sight.

At this point, Li Yuan's mentality has changed, from entering an imaginary peach blossom paradise to becoming aware of the reality behind the illusion, and then taking a step further to see the reality in his own heart from this reality, he is already on the verge of collapse and self-denial.

Qi Xi suggested that he and Xiaohua go to Yuxian Shang to have a chat, which had a special meaning for both of them.

The second encounter with the immortal descended is not so much the communication between Li Yuan and Xiaohua, but the communication between Li Yuan and himself - Xiaohua is the former him, a person who faked the peach blossom source for himself, thinking that as long as he enters it, he can get comfort and consummation.

Li Yuan tried to find a way to truly reconcile himself from Xiaohua.

He found an opportunity for a choir competition, and if he could win a provincial award, he could get extra points to attend the county's central school.

The chorus section is quite a tribute to "The Spring of the Cattle Herding Class".

Li Yuan painstakingly made Wang Xiaohua really willing to express her enthusiasm for singing Dong songs – and not just for the initial plus. In the process of taking an old but clean minibus and a green train through the mountains and forests to participate in the county and province to participate in competitions, Xiaohuaer gradually felt the happiness of singing and working together with everyone.

The choir that won second place went home with honors.

During the celebration, Xiaohua'er took out two wind chimes from her pocket, saying that they were iron, not silver, and that she couldn't afford silver, so she wanted to hang them with the teacher until she descended to the immortals. The third time he met the immortals, Li Yuan watched Wang Xiaohua tell Abba and Auntie that he had won the award for singing, cheerful, lively and satisfied - he looked at the two wind chimes hanging with different heights, and reached out to play them.

Bite!

Little Flower turned around and smiled.

At the end, Li Yuan set up a poetry club, and took the students to recite poems on the hillside, Xiaohuaer and a few girls, as well as Erqiu mixed in it, singing Dong songs on the other side, the sun is shining, white flowers and green grass, distant mountains and rivers......

In the end, it was not explicitly stated whether Li Yuan had obtained the key to self-reconciliation from Xiaohua's change.

Is it to abandon illusions and embrace reality?

Is it to liberate the heart and tolerate yourself?

Is it love in the heart, for others and for oneself?

It's up to the moviegoers.

......

The applause after the screening was quite warm.

Many foreign filmmakers hugged Ji Ming and praised him for his amazing performances, of course, there were also relatively straightforward ones, saying that the movie was a little bland, lacking in creativity, and a little anticlimactic, hoping to see better works belonging to Ji Ming in the future.

All receipts will be accepted in full.

For example, when Wen Yan met Ji Ming after the Penguin Film and Television Conference, it was the time when the magic scandal was spread, and she talked about the ideas and considerations of the clipping, plus the final subtraction. In fact, she and Ji Ming have already prepared, this will not be a bucket-style movie, it is comprehensive, they have given up a lot, for example, the conflict between Li Yuan and Xiaohua will be more intense, and the process of reconciliation will have more realistic portrayals, but they have all been cut off.

What is retained is the pure psychological changes of the characters, the full emotions that fill the picture, and the background color of quiet and self-sustaining.

Without losing a movie worth watching - this is Ji Ming's own evaluation.

After the broadcast, of course, there were interviews, but in fact, the whole fermentation was still on the second day - because the protagonist of this day was someone else, Christopher Nolan came to Cannes to stand for the remake of 70mm "2001: Space Walk", as well as to hold his own master class. Of course, the subsequent "Daughter of the Sun", the collective appearance of female filmmakers, is also quite eye-catching.

The next day, the house book gave a rating: 2.8 points.

It's not a particularly impressive score, but "Daughter of the Sun," which premiered on the same day and was supported by a women's filmmaker event, only had a score of 1.

The contrast is so stark.

The Hollywood Reporter put it very bluntly: "The Fall of the Immortals, which premiered in the morning, was not a perfect work, but it was a film that we loved and wanted to see at the festival." And "The Daughter of the Sun", which is also a female director and has a female theme, so it is supported by Cate Blanchett, is cliché, tasteless, and blunt, and completely wastes the audience's time - from this point of view, it is quite ironic. Female directors should probably not be obsessed with the correctness of the subject matter. ”

The evaluation of "The Screen" is much more positive: """Encounter with Immortals" reuses a place imagery that is given a special color by the legend, and every key change of the leading actor takes place here, the so-called place where the gods are met, the director obviously means something, the gods are our honest and undisguised hearts - modern people who are complex, changeable and kind to hide themselves, often unable to recognize their true thoughts, maybe there is really a god, we will be able to face ourselves more frankly, and find our real problems.

What the director is trying to discuss is precisely such a topic, a protagonist who is obsessed with niche literary and artistic genres, a minority girl in a deep mountain village, and a full-time housewife who studies psychology, but insists on teaching every year. It's full of Chinese philosophies that we're not familiar with, as well as a chorus plot that pays homage to "Spring in the Cattle Herding Class." and so on, the director uses the same problem core to connect and jointly draw an impressionistic story picture.

In particular, the young male lead has contributed refreshing performances at different levels of performance that are both age-appropriate and beyond age.

Movie, worth watching. ”

In addition to the scores and evaluations of the film, these two house books also include yesterday's best single-day red carpet - although these red carpet positions can be bought and sold, but either the business is not good, or Ji Ming's red carpet itself is quite popular - his lake blue look yesterday once again entered the top 3.

The screenwriter commented on him: "The Chinese male star showed a formidable red carpet expressiveness, and what shone more than the red carpet yesterday was his bright smile and clear eyes – just like his performance in the movie." If you've seen his performance on the red carpet at the opening ceremony, you can't help but wonder how many different faces he still has to discover, and whether they are all as glamorous as they were yesterday. ”

Ji Ming shook his head with a smile, he could be regarded as having completed the task.

"Yesterday the audience interviewed out?"

"For the video interview of Channel 6, five viewers were selected, four were foreign and one was domestic. Lin Ran handed the pad over.

Ji Ming didn't ask Lin Ran, so he clicked on it and looked at it himself.

The first one was an old foreign lady.

“...... I would like to emphasize that even though I have never read ancient Chinese poetry, when I noticed the subtitles, I was amazed at the beauty. It really got me intrigued, and I'm going to go back and find out what works about it and give it a good read......"

Good vision, these translations are not small.
