Chapter 397: A Heavy Past

The plot develops to another group of refugees from a nearby village who run here, dozens of people, old and young, Bu Fan has no choice but to rely on Huahua's milk to relieve them, after all, it is human life.

There were too many people, and it was not enough to exhaust the cow from milk, so Flowey fell down and lay on the ground dying...

Bu Fan touched Huahua's head with his hand, and the other party licked his hand with his big tongue from time to time, as if to comfort himself?

As soon as the circles under my eyes were hot, I couldn't help but shed tears, hugged the bull's head, and cried loudly...

In chaos, not to mention a cow, even human life is worthless.

The milk couldn't be milked, and several refugees thought about simply killing Huahua to eat meat, Bu Fan resisted desperately, but his fists were invincible and he could only leave temporarily.

Of course, how could Huahua, who was burdened with the halo of the protagonist, be xx to death?

Under the arrangement of fate and the screenwriter, several gangsters were killed by bombs, and after this parting of life and death, Bu Fan re-understood the status of the cow in his heart, and his feelings continued to heat up.

For the next ten days, the plot was entangled between the Japanese army and the bandits, for a simple reason, all to survive.

The director's ambition is great, and the structure of the film intends to take the main narrative interspersed with flashbacks, just like the characters travel freely between two time and space, if the level is not enough, it is easy to fall into the quagmire, making the audience feel foggy.

Niu Er's image is a stupid rural man, but this stupidity reveals the honesty in his bones, after the village was swept away and there were only a few people left, he instinctively wanted to run, but because of a note, he risked death to stay.

I ran every day, and in order to avoid the enemy's running all over the mountains, I broke more than a dozen pairs of shoes, and the blisters on the soles of my feet broke and grew and broken, and they simply formed thick calluses.

There is only a small village in all scenes, and Guan Hu embodies the sense of confinement of his space through narrow corridors and cramped underground passages.

When all the villagers were buried in the cemetery, Bufan and the cow became the only masters of the village.

However, the continuous invasion of devils and bandit refugees has made Bu Fan the most cowardly master, unable to beat and can only run, and can only shuttle between dry wells and narrow underground passages every time, playing a game of hide and seek.

Although this little man is illiterate, he abides by this agreement in the face of life and death. For the sake of the cows, fight wits and courage with the invaders.

When he was preparing to shoot the Japanese soldiers with a telescope on the tree, he saw the head of the village chief hanging on it, the camera turned around, Bu Fan had no lines, only one expression, extremely complicated, heartache and sadness, and hidden anger...

I was stabbed by a devil, I fell into a coma in battle, and when I woke up, I found that the cow was gone, and it seemed that there was only myself in the world, and the sky was full of snow, and I shouted Jiu'er on the cliff... Jiu'er...

Crying heartbreakingly, that is an expression of despair, Bu Fan really regards the cow as Jiu'er, and this cow as an emotional sustenance for Jiu'er.

In order to avoid the cattle killers, Bu Fan hid in the courtyard surrounded by mines, and saw the corpses of scattered people bombed by mines, and cried silently, and these tears flowed out of the goodness in his bones. According to the director's words: This play is very black and very funny, and I hope that after adding these ingredients, it will bring a touch of lightness to the heavy story during the viewing process, so that the audience will not see it too painfully.

It's definitely not a black comedy, but an out-and-out tragic drama, even those laughing scenes are just a service to achieve the narrative effect, there is no way, you have to follow the audience.

When Bu Fan watched the refugees step on the landmines one by one and be blown up, showing a painful struggle, he persuaded them not to come, and not to worry about his cattle anymore, but it was too late.

Before he died, the other party cried and shouted: I just want to eat meat!

All kinds of evil seemed to disappear in that moment, and even if the sin deserved it, the sin did not lead to death.

Niu Er, played by Bu Fan, is a peasant struggling to survive in the war, unkempt all day long, running and shouting every day in a dead and silent village that has almost become ruins, like a lost dog that is almost crazy.

The only thing that supports him is the short-lived love: the ancestor, the lot, the marriage, the silver bracelet...

is not only Niu Er, but also portrays a group of innocent little people in the war, living people are not like people, dogs are not like dogs, it seems absurd, but in fact it is pitiful.

Those who want to kill cattle...

I didn't eat the beef...

In vain, he was blown up into the sky first...

Lang Zhong, who was digging corns, cried...

are all shattered in Niu Er's dreams, especially the Japanese soldier, who is just a student boy, but he can't escape the division of camps with the wounded of the national army and beat each other to death...

For Bu Fan, there is a scene that is particularly impressive, he leads the cow and walks back and forth on the edge of the cliff for several bridges, as if conveying a small and grand aura.

Finding the tranquility of eternity on the edge...

In the cruel situation of surviving in the troubled times of not seeing the ancients before and not seeing the future behind...

A kind of fierce force below the dust rushes out through the back of the paper, not humble, not vulgar, only a kind of chicken and dog...

is unwilling to be with reality, but falls into heavy dreams again and again.

Niu Er is just a microcosm, representing the dying and struggling little people in countless wars, and the unarmed people are facing devils, homeless people, bandits, national troops...

They are afraid of killing, but they carefully pick up the strange gun and use the unskilled arrow, live humbly, and guard the small and fragile future.

Every time he experienced a struggle, Bu Fan always fell to the ground and passed out, and then the camera always returned to a thin layer of snow, and the village was white, as if to imply that those sins would eventually leave, and as long as they persevered, they would eventually win the final victory.

Today is the last scene, Balu is finally here, Bu Fan trotted down the mountain, desperately pulled a horseman, and said vaguely: "Niu... Your cattle!"

"Fellow, I don't understand what you're saying?"

"I said... Your cattle... Said it would be back in ten days... It's been six or seven years now..."

Afraid that the other party would not understand, he quickly pulled the cow over, raised the rope high, and said with hope on his face: "This is a shame!"

The head of the regiment looked at the cow and quickly refused: "Fellow, we are the people's team, if we don't take a stitch from you, you can go back quickly." ”

"Hey, you..."

Bu Fan suddenly remembered something, took out the note from his arms, carefully unfolded it, and handed it to the other party.

"Everyone in the village is dead..."

"I raised it alone in the mountains..."

"And these oceans..."

Take out the treasure that you protect with your life, and as long as you return the cow to Balu, you will be freed.

"Fellow, I don't know the person who wrote the note to you, we are a fighting team, and we can't take the ox away. ”

"Is that good?"

"I'm in charge of this, you've been raising the cow for so many years, so I'll give it to you!"

Bu Fan was stunned, looked at the note that the other party had forced back, hurriedly ran over to pull the horse, and said urgently: "Cow... I..."

"You give me the cow... Don't you give me a stamp?"

The other party didn't say a word, pressed the handprint, and just wanted to leave, Bu Fan stopped him again, and said: "Since the cow is mine, can you..."

"We're not going down the mountain, we're not going down again..."

"Write me a few words"

"It is engraved in front of the tomb..."

In the last scene, Bu Fan is sitting on the edge of a cliff, and the ox is crawling beside him, holding a few pieces of paper in his hand, which reads:

Tomb of Niu Er

At the last turn of the camera, a lone wooden board appeared with four words engraved on it:

The Tomb of the Two Oxen

The movie is finished!

"Thanks to you this time!"

Guan Hu picked up a big bowl of wine at the celebration banquet and said gratefully to Bufan: "It was originally going to be filmed for four or five months, but because of your excellent performance, it was done in two and a half months." ”

"There's nothing else to say, it's all in the wine!"

Bu Fan recalled the experience during this time, and sighed very much, picked up the wine, and drank it all.

It's a pity that Yanni is not there, and at first she planned to make a cameo, Jiu'er's role was originally very few, but later it became more and more, which was enough to make the family freeze in the poor mountains and bad waters for more than half a month.

But everything is worth it, I know that I am very satisfied with Guan Hu's drinking, this drama means a lot to him, and it can be said to be a milestone in his career.

"Don't worry, it will be released in no more than three months at the latest, and we must rush to win the award!"

These were the director's last words before he fell unconscious.

Everyone packed their luggage, and before Bufan got into the car, he looked back at the small mountain village for the last time. There are too many deep memories here, but it's a pity that Huahua can't be taken away and entrusted to the old way of taking care of them.

"Go home!"

Leaving Yimeng Mountain, Bu Fan took the two daughters back to the capital directly....
