Chapter 163: The World Behind the Fireworks of the White Sun

Gu Junquan couldn't hear Wang Xuebing's ridicule.

continued: "I don't know if it's cold or not, anyway, I just heard that director Yinan is very serious about art, and he can't be moved by relationships and gifts."

I thought, since the gift can't be moved, then I can use sincerity, right? What can be seen is called sincerity, so I stayed at the door of director Yinan's house.

You think, how cold it is in winter, I can't carry it without taking the bed.

Who would have thought that I had just lived for less than half a month, and director Yinan took the initiative to invite me to play the role of Zhang Zili. And beg me. ”

"Xiao Gu is a bit of a. Wang Jingchun looked unconvinced, especially when everyone else was covering their mouths and laughing: "Can you take the male number one by squatting at the door? Besides, how can the director beg you?"

Gu Jun said: "You don't believe it, it's right if you don't believe it, the main thing is that you don't have such a thick skin as your buddy." I blocked the door of director Yinan for half a month, and all the food in his house was eaten, and he was hungry.

He said that he would eat dumplings for the New Year, but he couldn't even eat the dumpling skin, so he didn't hurry up to agree to my request? The director sincerely begged me to get out of here. ”

"Hahaha... Hahaha, you can really pull it. ”

"You're real skin. Wang Jingchun and Wang Xuebing, the pair of fellow countrymen, looked at each other and ignored Gu Jun, and turned their heads to talk to Diao Yinan.

They even asked if Gu Jun's words were true!

Diao Yinan, who knew what was going on, naturally did not explain, Diao Yinan meant not to say that Gu Jun was an investor, but only that an emerging media company was optimistic about the script before investing.

To be honest, Diao Yinan was still a little satisfied with what Gu Jun said just now.

Gu Jun's words are very nonsense, and almost no one will believe them, but Gu Jun showed his posture that it was the actor Gu Jun who came today, not an investor.

In the simplest way, he will not snatch control of the crew with Diao Yinan.

Diao Yinan, who knew all this, tapped the tableware lightly with his chopsticks: "Gu Jun is young but his acting skills are not bad, I have seen it with the producer."

We are all older than him, even if we are his brothers, we have to take the initiative to bring up his shortcomings, so as to help him grow. ”

"Gu Jun, didn't you say you wanted to toast just now, hurry up. ”

Gu Jun, who was ordered by Diao Yinan, raised his glass······

With Diao Yinan's direct admission, even if others are suspicious, it is not easy to say it on the surface.

The director's center is worth it. The director is the most important thing he has done.

The only people who can talk to the director are investors and big names like Jiang Wen, and they can't do it.

········

"By the way, why didn't Anxi come, didn't she arrive early?" asked Gu Jun after three rounds of drinking.

In fact, he had suspected it for a long time, he knew that Anxi had arrived a long time ago, and there were many people eating here today, and many people in the outer bakery hall were crew members.

Anxi doesn't want to participate in such an environment, it's too lively, she is experiencing Wu Zhizhen. Diao Yinan, who explained, looked at Gu Jun: "By the way, I have to tell you, you have nothing to do with An Xi, you two are too familiar, I'm afraid it will affect the aura of the two characters." ”

"Okay..." Gu Jun was a little embarrassed, but he still agreed.

——————————

"Fireworks in the Day" actually has three scripts, especially the original script is extremely literary, and even Diao Yinan admits that the script was written exactly according to the ideas in his heart.

It means to let go of oneself.

There is no consideration of commercial factors, and then it is naturally rejected by all investors.

Over the course of a few years, he worked on the first screenplay, creating almost three new stories. Now it's actually the third edition.

He is actually not very satisfied with the script he is currently going to shoot, because in his opinion, this script is for the sake of box office, integrating some commercial elements, and can only try to ensure the core of the movie.

He wants to make pure independent films, but only with commercial value can he attract investment, which is the inevitable dilemma of independent film directors.

Independent films have a low investment and guarantee maximum creative freedom.

In 2007, he directed "Night Train" with an investment of 300W, which was very chilling, but this was almost the largest first in an independent film.

In 2013, "Fireworks in the Day" invested 1500W, several times more than it, and if you add the publicity, it is almost ten times.

This is a commercial film, even a semi-commercial film requires a lot of money, even if Gu Jun has the idea of supporting Diao Yinan in his heart.

But I didn't dare to say to Diao Yinan that I would shoot openly, I didn't care about the box office at all.

Gu Jun hadn't read the first script, but he felt that the third script was already very meaningful, and he was a little surprised to win the Golden Bear Award for Best Film at the Berlin Film Festival, but it was also reasonable.

In Gu Jun's opinion, "Fireworks in the Day" is like the twin brother of "Let the Bullets Fly" to some extent.

In "Let the Bullets Fly", we see the perspective of a rebel represented by Zhang Mazi, but in fact, Jiang Wen uses Zhang Mazi to take us to see the devastation of the world at that time.

The front is comedy, and the back is rectification.

Even pushing it up, there are still shadows of the four famous novels in "Fireworks in the Day".

"Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Dream of Red Mansions", "Water Margin" and "Journey to the West" are classics, and almost everyone knows the deep meaning of the first three.

Some people may question why "Journey to the West", a myth that is obviously nonsense, has become one of the masterpieces that has been passed down for hundreds of years.

Do all the fantasy and myths on the current Internet have this qualification?

In fact, most of our knowledge of "Journey to the West" is from film and television works, and very few people have established the world of Journey to the West by reading books.

If you read through "Journey to the West", you will find that the heavenly court is composed of three forces, one is Taoism represented by Taishang Laojun, and the other is Buddhism represented by Rulai.

In addition, it is the Jade Emperor who balances in the middle.

Some people understand that the balance is the wall-riding faction, the wall-head grass.

But when the person who is balancing is the emperor, it is the emperor's mental technique.

The depth of "Journey to the West" lies in the establishment of a new structure, and the Jade Emperor, Laojun, and Rulai are the most standard "monarch and minister relationship" in Chinese history.

For example, when Lao Jun visits the Jade Emperor, he wants to perform a "court salute", and the Jade Emperor wants to see Rulai, using "Xuan". If you come to help the Jade Emperor fight the monkey, you are talking about "saving the driver".

As a substitution, we can bring the relationship between the Jade Emperor and Rulai and Laojun into Emperor Cheng Jiajing and the first assistants Yan Song and Xu Jie.

The Jade Emperor supported Yang Jian against the monkeys, and he could bring in Emperor Jing of the Cheng Han Dynasty to appoint his brother-in-law Dou Ying as a general to prevent Zhou Yafu.

Or Yuan Shao introduced Dong Zhuo into Beijing to fight against the Ten Changshi, and Sun Quan recruited Liu Bei as his brother-in-law to restrain Zhou Yu.

There is also a four-person group of scripture learners, Tang Seng is a personal disciple of Rulai and a confidant. The monkey can be compared with Yang Jian, who is the commander of the three armies of the Heavenly Court.

Zhu Bajie is Marshal Tianpeng, the commander-in-chief of the Navy, and Monk Sha seems to be the most humble, but he can stay by the side of the Jade Emperor as the general of the rolling shutter, which means that he is a truly trusted figure, similar to the commander of the forbidden army.

Even if it is a little white dragon that is ridden, it is also the son-in-law of a prince.

How to learn from such a configuration?

Throughout history, the Jade Emperor's routines have been nothing more than the usual means of Chinese culture for thousands of years.

Just like Tang Taizong demoted the god of war Li Tao out of the capital before his death, Kangxi demoted Ma Qi, Zhang Tingyu and other humerus ministers one by one before his death.

What these bigwigs did was just to wait for Li Zhi and Yongzheng to succeed to the throne, so that the important ministers could make meritorious contributions and let their sons win the hearts of the people.

History is different is that Ming Tai · · Zu Zhu Yuanzhang, the next heir he recognized, died, for fear that his grandson Zhu Yunwen would not be able to suppress his important ministers.

So instead of demotion, he killed them all.

As a result, it became the only precedent in history for the princes and kings to overthrow the imperial court.

What "Journey to the West" does is just to write to us in a dramatic way the upright means of thousands of years of Chinese culture.

Therefore, "Journey to the West" was a banned book during the Ming Dynasty.

The Jade Emperor is Jiajing, and the monkey is Hai Rui.

The monkey in Journey to the West seems to be very powerful, but any monster who can beat him with the magic weapon of the gods is called Baba.

Hai Rui is not very powerful, but Jiajing needs him to be powerful to balance others, so he can be very powerful, and even dare to point at Jiajing's nose and scold.

Who is the best Emperor Jiajing and the first assistant Yan Song, Xu Jie and Hai Rui?

Who is the Jade Emperor and Taishang Laojun, Rulai and Monkey?

That's a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand readers.

Behind the classic works, readers can often see themselves, for "Journey to the West", cultivators see the cultivation of Neidan, good books see myths and legends, and families see intrigues.

"Fireworks in the Day" is not as deep as... It's even far inferior to "Journey to the West", but it has at least learned a little scratch.

After watching "Fireworks in the Day", ordinary viewers will feel that they have seen the truth: [Wu Zhizhen is a murderer, the most poisonous woman's heart].

[Liang Zhijun is true love, for the person he likes can be a living dead for a lifetime, and he believes in love again].

[Zhang Zili is the one who loves Wu Zhizhen the most, he also has hardships, this is the professionalism of Tiaozi, and he is absolutely reluctant. 】

[The owner of the dry cleaner is so obscene, pure perverted. 】

These understandings are not right or wrong, but it can be said that one sentence is one-sided. Each character has a depth worth digging into.

It is often said that the thickness of the script is not about the script itself, but about the depth of the whole world depicted by the words on the script.

The world is made up of characters, and the depth of the characters determines the thickness of the world.

"Fireworks in the Day" is a good movie that combines business and literature, and the vast majority of viewers see its superficial entangled love story.

But its foundation and bones are still literary films, and some audiences can see a deeper level of storytelling through the surface.

A few years ago, Gu Jun simply flipped through "Fireworks in the Day" and decided to invest, this is because he knows what "Fireworks in the Day" will achieve.

But when Gu Jun read through the script in the real sense, he felt glad that he was able to participate in such a project.

Every time you read it, something deeper will emerge, and you can't help but look at it again to confirm your conjectures.

The actor Zhang Zili and his ex-wife Su Lijuan, Zhang Zili's former subordinate, and later became Xiao Wang, the captain of the strip.

The heroine Wu Zhizhen, as well as her ex-husband Liang Zhijun, the laundry owner Rong Rong, where Wu Zhizhen works.

These six people supported the framework of the entire script, a very basic literary film style, with as few characters as possible, showing the fullness of a story to the fullest.

The cause of "Fireworks in the Day" is that Liang Zhijun was believed to have died in a bizarre corpse mutilation case, and Zhang Zili suspected that the two transport drivers were related to the case, and killed two people who resisted arrest with guns during the pursuit.

The suspect died, and the case was closed.

Zhang Zili was injured because of a mistake in the pursuit and became a factory security guard.

Five years later, two cases of the same method appeared, and the deceased was in love with Wu Zhizhen, the first person Liang Zhijun was Wu Zhizhen's husband, the second person was Wu Zhizhen's fiancé, and the third person had just come into contact with Wu Zhizhen.

And Zhang Zili has always been angry about the expulsion of Tiaozi and his discharge from the army because of this case, and deliberately approached Wu Zhizhen in order to fulfill his long-cherished wish.

The character of Wu Zhizhen is very important, she carries too many secrets, and the story of fireworks in the day revolves around her.

Secondly, after Pi Yunan disappeared (died), Pi Yunan's wife did not protect Jing, she thought that Pi Yunan hid with his little lover (Wu Zhizhen).

Pi Yunan's wife has this degree of speculation, which shows that Pi Yunan's wife is aware of Wu Zhizhen's existence and the depth of the relationship between Wu and Pi Yunan.

Also, if the Pi Yu man really coerced Wu Zhizhen to have a relationship by washing the 2.8W Pi Yu, then Wu Zhizhen absolutely hated him.

At the very least, the ashes of the man will be thrown into the trash, or even the ashes will be scattered.

But Wu Zhizhen buried the ashes of the man under the tree in front of the unit, and every time he passed by, he would inevitably remember that under normal circumstances, as long as a very important person died, there would be this kind of behavior.

This shows that the relationship between Pi Yunan and Wu Zhizhen is definitely not as simple as it seems.

A nightclub owner with 2.8W leather clothes casually, a beautiful woman Wu Zhizhen, and an ordinary coal station weigher Liang Zhijun who doesn't make much money.

What would be the story of these three people if they were involved?

The most reliable guess is that Wu Zhizhen is the junior of Pi Yunan.

(This three may be passive, for example, Pi Yunan promised to divorce and marry Wu Zhizhen.) It may also be initiative, like exchanging youth for money. Even more radical speculation is about why Pi Yu Nan is the owner of a nightclub? What does a nightclub do, needless to say. )

No matter what kind of speculation, Wu Zhizhen is bound to leave Pi Yannan.

It's like some people who have had enough of playing outside and want to find an honest person to take over.

Liang Zhijun doesn't look like a pick-up man?

It's not good-looking, the family background is not good, and the money is not much, how can an ordinary person marry a 'goddess' like Wu Zhizhen?
