Tianshui Mansion, a street, dusk.

The filming location of the crew of "On the Road".

Li Qian and Wang Jingxue first took a plane, then changed trains, and finally took a van rented by the crew at the railway station in Tianshui Mansion and came to the filming location of the crew.

At this time, the crew was filming, and Li Qian and Wang Jingxue were standing on the periphery watching.

Wang Jingxue hadn't read the script, but Li Qian had read it, and after asking the scene notes about today's shooting plan, he knew where this scene appeared - after escaping from his city, school and home, it was a great liberation of life for the two adolescent children, so no matter where they went, they could smell the full breath of freedom.

So, for them, they don't have to study, they don't have to do questions, they don't have to face teachers and parents, they don't have to think about every day of the exam, life is bright, and they are free to walk through every city they reach. When they are hungry, they look for a place to eat, whether it is good or bad, they are happy, and when they are sleepy, they find a cheap hotel to sleep in, even if they will be bitten by mosquitoes for several bags.

Other than that, they walk, they walk, they look, they look everywhere.

It was the most reckless time they've ever experienced in 18 years.

So, feel happy no matter what.

To put it simply, this is almost the most comfortable part of the whole movie.

After experiencing the initial happiness, they will face a series of problems, such as less and less money, such as some sinister things in the world, such as people even trying to rob them of their money, and for example, they have been cheated out of their already small amount of money by a pitiful-looking liar, and they are almost reduced to extreme poverty.

In a nutshell, the whole story goes like this: two little kids are tired of studying, they want to elope, then they steal money, they run away, and then they are happy, very happy, very happy, and then, one bad thing after another, they are stolen, they are robbed, Deceived until they were completely reduced to penniless wanderers, the whole story seemed to be depressed to the extreme, even the sky seemed to be overcast, they didn't know where to go, and then, they began to try to pick up scrap and sell it for money, through the battle of wits with the local people who picked up rags, they got the first money they earned, and they were very excited, at this time, it seemed that the clouds in the sky had dispersed, and they began to find the meaning of their lives, and then, well, the time for the abuse came: the boy was admitted, and then, he decided to withdraw。

You can say that the director is reflecting on something, or you can say that he is criticizing something, in short, nine times out of ten, it will be a film that is highly praised by professionals, but it is almost impossible to find a theater willing to release it.

…………

Tianshui Mansion in May, the sun is shining.

Jin Han personally ran over and picked up the camera, leaving assistant director Lu Shuangping to help him look at the monitor.

Li Qian leaned over and took a look at it twice, and the picture was really beautiful.

A pair of young, beautiful boys and girls, each holding a popsicle, walked around the street in the sun, looked everywhere, occasionally looked back at each other, and each other's eyes were full of happiness brought by freedom.

This shot is very long.

Li Qian looked at it, and wanted to scold his mother a little.

This level of technology, this level of delicate techniques for dealing with the story and the hearts of the characters, but it has to be used to make a film that is destined to lose money, is really ......

Li Qian has never despised art films, and he does not think that the responsibility of art films is to make money.

The biggest function of art films is actually to expand the boundaries of film performance - from the shooting techniques, from the narrative of the film, from all aspects, you can make explorations, develop more and more abundant skills for mature commercial films, and more and more mature routines, and then, so that commercial films can be used to make a lot of money.

But the problem is, for example, Spielberg, people first filmed "E.T. the Alien" and "Jurassic Park" before filming "Hidler's List"! If Spielberg were to shoot "Schindler's List" first, and then "Jurassic Park", you would see how much box office "Schindler's List" could have left!

Therefore, looking at the extremely beautiful picture in the monitor, Li Qian sighed and was helpless.

…………

In the Chinese film industry in the time and space where Li Qian once lived, there is a saying that there are so-called five generations of directors, six generations of directors and eight generations of directors, but in the current time and space, because of the time shift, there is no such a clear division of the era.

Of course, there must be small circles, and everywhere is inevitable.

For example, in the domestic film and television industry, there is a so-called difference between the academic school and the grassroots school, and according to another perspective, it can also be divided into artistic flow and commercial flow, and from another perspective, it can even be divided into official and unofficial.

It is undeniable that although there are many successful directors who are not professional, and there are even a group of them who are quite outstanding, if you talk about the success rate, the success rate of directors who have undergone professional training is still much greater.

For directors from academies, the basic skills are generally solid enough, and the theoretical knowledge is also the first way, which naturally has a great advantage over self-taught non-professional directors.

However, there must be a positive and a negative in everything, and there must be advantages and disadvantages.

What stands in the way of non-professional directors is that in addition to the difficulty of starting at the beginning and the lack of help and support from senior brothers, what is more important is that because of his lack of systematic film knowledge learning, he can often only work hard and fight a path with his extraordinary talent, but this is the only way, once a director like this is successful, it is often at the genius level.

The directors from the academy, don't look at the system knowledge is solid enough, and there are many fewer innate limitations than those from non-professional backgrounds, but it is precisely because they have learned too many things and are too comprehensive, so many times, it is inevitable to be constrained when doing things, if it is not talented, it is often difficult to break the barriers formed by the theories and experiences of predecessors, textbooks, and professors.

Therefore, there was a judgment in the industry a long time ago, saying that directors and actors from the grassroots are most afraid of having no ideas, while those from professional backgrounds are most afraid of having ideas.

With these two articles alone, at least 95 percent of filmmakers can be directly classified as ordinary film practitioners.

And among these people, there are actually many people who are quite talented.

Kim Han graduated from the Sooncheon Film School and is undoubtedly an academic director.

As a filmmaker, he has been widely regarded as extremely talented since he entered the film school, and later a series of his works, even purely commercial works, such as those for Liao Liao and He Runqing, are also known for being very good at carving pictures.

Moreover, the most commendable thing is that although he was born in an academic school, he was never constrained by the things taught in school, and his films, its images, have always been imaginative and full of imagination.

Therefore, although investors will be reluctant to invest money in him because of his successive failures, in the industry, the evaluation of him is still excellent, and Li Qian, after carefully reading his past works, also concluded in his heart that one day in the future, he will definitely succeed - the difference is only that it is a few years earlier or a few years later.

Therefore, it is only a few million, in the face of the huge film market that will soon come in the future, Li Qian would rather throw a few more millions into it to let this guy go, and he must also win him over after he matures.

What is most lacking in the film industry?

Talent!

The film industry is a typical business that makes things happen because of people!

Besides, although it is not easy for this kind of art film made by Jin Han to get the box office in China, as long as it is filmed well, at least it will not be filmed so that the vast majority of the audience cannot understand it, then there is no possibility of returning to the original cost!

…………

Li Qian stood behind the monitor and watched thoughtfully, while Wang Jingxue seemed to be more attentive than him.

She stared very seriously at the performance of the two people on the monitor, especially at the smile of her little sister.

Then, seeing that Li Qian was distracted, she couldn't help but lean over and asked in a low voice: "I don't know how to act, now in your opinion, how is Xiaolu's acting?"

…………

"How's it going? I can tell you, it's great!"

While speaking, Jin Han raised his glass, touched Li Qian, raised his head, and cooed, another glass of cold beer fell into his stomach.

It is rare for a big boss to visit the class, and the filming of the crew is also going quite smoothly, so Jin Han ended the afternoon shooting early and pulled Li Qian out to drink.

On the night market stalls on the street, dozens of people huhula la, almost all the stalls were rounded.

Li Qian, Wang Jinglu, Jin Han, Liu Ming, Lu Shuangping, Han Shunzhang, Zhu Mingyu, Wang Jingxue, Lu Rundong and others sat on a makeshift table.

Gradually full of wine and food, many people in the crew said hello and went back to the hotel, and even Li Qian's table was all gone, and in the end, only Li Qian, Wang Jinglu, Wang Jingxue, Jin Han, Han Shunzhang, and Zhu Mingyu were left to sit.

Jin Han drank a lot, but his thinking was still agile, and when he saw that everyone else was chatting about each other, he grabbed Li Qian and whispered to him about the incident that happened in the crew some time ago, and then repeatedly said that it was all right.

Li Qian didn't look angry at all when he heard this, but said in the same low voice: "Xiaolu has already told me, it's okay! My woman, if you don't even have a favorite person, wouldn't it mean that my vision is too bad! He likes it if he likes it, even if he likes it for a lifetime, as long as he doesn't have any wishful thinking plans, I don't bother to bother with him." ”

But after a pause, he still said: "But, in the future, your play, my play ......"

Before he could finish speaking, Jin Han patted him on the shoulder, nodded and said, "I understand, I understand!"

Li Qian smiled and touched a glass with him.

To a certain extent, these two sentences mean that it is impossible for Lu Rundong to receive any role in Li Qian's film and television dramas in the future - wishful thinking always has to be punished, isn't it?

…………

Until half past ten, Li Qian and Jin Han were already a little drunk, and they also sat together and muttered for a long time, and exchanged views on the filming progress of this movie, the next plans, etc., and then Han Shunzhang was responsible for paying the bill, and everyone went home.

Back in the hotel room, Li Qian didn't even bother to take a shower, and threw himself on the bed at once.

Wang Jinglu smiled and pulled him up to take a bath, and finally pushed him into the bathroom with a hard pull, but he was also pulled in with his backhand - the sound of water in the bathroom sounded for thirty or forty minutes, and when he came out again, Wang Jinglu's face was pink, and Li Qian looked satisfied.

Only then did the two of them lie down on the bed and whisper something.

"Honestly, what do you think of my performance?"

"This ...... It's hard to say now, the part I watched today can only be regarded as your true performance, because you are so beautiful, this kind of play, you can't see the acting skills, this drama in my opinion, the more you go to the back, the more you can see the acting skills, go back and wait for you to finish filming, Lao Jin will definitely have to be cut by the company, when the time comes, I will go to see the play behind you first, and I can watch it now, but it is too troublesome to adjust the film, besides, Lao Jin is a kind of person, I hate others interfering in his filming the most, it's not good!"

"Oh......"

"However, I listen to the meaning of Lao Jin and Lao Han's words, and I am full of praise for your performance outside of acting!"

"Huh, what's the matter outside of acting?"

"Pretend, you pretend...... Lu Rundong's matter, you handled it very well, give him a step down, in fact, you are giving Lao Jin face, and it will also make everyone around you think that you have weight and belly...... People who don't look at small things will think that you can achieve great things, so to some extent, the bigger things that are not taken into your eyes, the more people will think you are amazing......"

"Oh, okay, okay, it's your kind again, are you twenty-one or sixty-one years old, like an old man, no matter what, you can have a big reason in life!"

"Huh...... Okay, let's not talk about it, you're smart anyway, and you can always do it well by feeling it. I'm different, I have to go through everything, and even suffer losses, so that I can grow wise......"

"By the way, why did my sister come with you again? and brought me a dozen salted eggs, saying that my mother ......pickled them."

"Well, yes? Salted eggs? That's right, I've been hungry for this lately, you don't know, since I was a child, I remember my dad muttering to my mom, saying that my mom's pickled sauce must be sour, pickled eggs must be salty, anyway, she just can't do these things, your mother's skills should be good, right? I'll try it tomorrow morning......"

"Well, good. Hey, you say, my sister is here, can't there be something, right? She and my mother have just been here, and it's only been ten days, and now she suddenly comes again...... I think she looks like she has something on her mind today!"

"Then where do I know where to go, she didn't tell me anyway, if you think she has something on her mind, before we leave, you can talk to her about it!"

"Well, that's right! Hey, then you lie down first, and I'll go talk to her for a while!"

"Hey...... I said, "Didn't we tell you to rest for a while, and we'll have to do it again later......?"

…………

After returning to the room specially arranged for herself, Wang Jingxue simply took a shower, then turned on the air conditioner, and lay down on the bed to start a daze - not sleepy, and there was nothing to do, except for being in a daze, she didn't know what else she could do.

Thinking of last night, remembering my mother's smile this morning, thinking of the extremely handsome side face on the plane, thinking of Xiaolu's innocent appearance, and thinking of directors Jin Han and Zhu Mingyu's heartfelt praise for Xiaolu......

From childhood to adulthood, at home and outside, Wang Jingxue has been a strong enough girl, and compared to her, Wang Jingxue seems to be a bit of a good girl, so in my impression, Xiaolu always follows behind her obediently and skillfully, almost whatever she says, what she asks her to do, she doesn't even have questions, she just goes straight to what she does.

Therefore, she has always believed that the little sister is weak and needs to be protected by herself.

But now, or rather, in the past two years, she has gradually discovered that perhaps the real situation is exactly the opposite of what she has always known.

Is my little sister weak?

She's never weak!

She just looked quiet, and seemed a little innocent.

However, along the way, she has chosen the right direction in almost everything, and she can always handle things mellow and harmonious, and at the same time clean and neat.

I think that at the beginning, she liked Li Qian, which was almost unanimously opposed by the whole family, and even her own sister, did not approve of her - until Li Qian's sudden rise actually proved that her vision was outstanding!

Liao Liao and Zhou Yan suddenly began to tear each other apart with the help of the media's rumors, Li Qian was inconvenient to come forward and make it difficult for both ends, and this kind of thing, others couldn't intervene, at that time, no one could have imagined that the little Wang Jinglu would suddenly stand up.

She is Li Qian's girlfriend, a genuine girlfriend, even Liao Liao and Zhou Yan can't deny this, but you must know that in terms of achievement, status, influence, and even the wisdom of life, she was not yet twenty years old at the time, and in front of Liao Liao and Zhou Yan, almost none of them could be advantaged, but on the contrary, her tepid, simple and simple, but she actually persuaded this fight!

Of course, this incident can be understood to a certain extent as Liao Liao and Zhou Yan are afraid that they will not be able to end in the end, and it is actually themselves who are hurt, so in fact, they are not showing face to Wang Jing, let alone being afraid of her, in the final analysis, they are actually giving Li Qian face, and they don't want to make Li Qian unable to step down.

But the question is, at that time, who could know what the two of them really thought?

If you were another person, such as yourself, would you be so calm as a little sister to persuade you?

So, she did it and did it, that is, she did it and did it!

There is no fluke.

As for now, she seems to have made up her mind to act and become an actress, and she is not ready to lean on the big tree of Li Qian and be a quiet wife of the Li family, Li Wang, at present, no one can say clearly whether her choice this time is right or wrong. However, Wang Jingxue believes that the little sister must have her own considerations in her heart.

Maybe this time, she will continue to fight!

Don't say anything else, such as this time, Zhu Mingyu quietly told himself...... If it were me, it is estimated that nine times out of ten it would not be handled like that. However, now it turns out that the reputation of so many people in the crew proves that she is doing this very well!

She is still so tepid, and she is still so calm and composed.

And in this regard, it seems that she will never be able to do what she is...... Perhaps, Li Qian likes her so much because of this?

Because he's also a teenager!

……

Wang Jingxue leaned on the head of the bed and sighed quietly.

At this moment, there seemed to be movement coming from next door - the hotel is not high-end and the sound insulation is not good.

Because she knew that the room next door was Xiaomei and Li Qian's room, almost subconsciously, Wang Jingxue listened attentively - there was a sound of water, very loud, and then, there seemed to be a trace of nothingness...... Moan?

Wang Jingxue pursed her lips, her face was slightly red, but her expression turned stunned.

They also ...... Started in the bathroom?

Wang Jingxue took a breath, couldn't help grabbing the pillow and covering her face - accidentally, did she actually listen to the corner of the two of them?

…………

The sound of the water is non-stop, and the moaning and moaning are also wave after wave.

Wang Jingxue stared blankly at the ceiling, and the pillow no longer knew where it had been thrown.

…………

Eventually, the movement over there was gone.

Wang Jingxue sighed, lifted the quilt, and got in.

…………

She just kept her eyes open, staring somewhere in her sight, and she was in a daze.

Countless images of the past are turning over and over in my mind.

She stood in front of him with a stubborn face and said confidently: "Hello, I'm singer Wang Jingxue." ”

In front of the sickbed, dressed in ancient costume, she held his big hand, listened to his last words, and her eyes were full of tears.

That night, she woke up in the middle of the night, took the phone that didn't belong to her, sent a text message that maybe no one would ever know was from her, and stared at the reply text message and looked at it...... In the end, he could only delete it silently.

"This winter, I'm going to make an album for you, get ready," he said. ”

He looked down at his high heels.

…………

Bang! Bang!

There was a knock on the door.

Wang Jingxue was stunned and subconsciously asked, "Who?"

"Sister, it's me!"

Wang Jingxue breathed a sigh of relief, lifted the quilt and wanted to get up, but hesitated for a moment, lowered her head, and said: "I've been on planes and trains for a day, I'm tired, I want to sleep, I have something to say tomorrow, okay?"

There was a moment of silence outside the door, and then the little sister answered softly.

"Oh, that's fine, then you go to sleep first!"

Listen closely, she walked away in slippers, and there was the click of slippers.

Then there was a knock at the door, and it was closed again.

Wang Jingxue fell on the bed all of a sudden, her eyes blank.

After a moment, she suddenly whispered to herself, "What should I do?"

How many tickets can I ask for? (To be continued.) )
