There are some things that have to be said from the beginning.

When Yu Bojun received the script of "Alive", it was just the beginning of spring this year.

At that time, he was just lazy enough, and he saved up a new book with a few screenwriters, and looked for Lao Cao to go through it, and felt that there was no big problem, although it was still a youth urban theme, but he miraculously added some life thoughts that Lao Cao thought were "bullshit" and "far-fetched". So, this is a proper team to build a group, ready to start.

When the script just arrived, Yu Bojun was busy and cool, so he looked at the cover and threw it in his work backpack when he received it. Although he didn't have much expectations for Li Qian's script, Li Qian's actions and words all the time made what he said always have a certain weight, so that Yu Bojun didn't dare to completely think that he was joking.

Then, the crew of his new play quickly pulled up, and the actors were in place one after another, and filming started smoothly.

After worshipping God and officially opening the scene, of course, you have to eat and drink, first strengthen your morale, Yu Bojun, as a director, of course, is the talker, but he didn't drink that day, so that night, after he finished with his girlfriend at the time, he couldn't sleep when he had nothing to do, so he remembered the script, and then turned it out to read it.

At this glance, he just didn't sleep all night.

So, as soon as the new drama started, he stared at the dark circles under his eyes and yawned, and was forced to let the assistant director take over for a day, and he sat stupidly on the side, thinking blindly.

The story of "Alive" is not complicated.

It is said that in the last years of the Shun Dynasty, there was a rich second generation named Fugui in the countryside of Shandong. As a landlord and young master. But he is addicted to gambling. In the end, he lost all his family property, but he was a blessing in disguise, and escaped a catastrophe after the civil rebel army occupied the local area at that time, but then, he was arrested by the Shun Dynasty government at that time, and followed to encircle and suppress the rebel army. During this time, his mother died, and his daughter also suffered from an illness. became mute. And he, at first he was an official soldier, then he was captured, and then he became a rebel army, and after many years of running, the rebel army was victorious, the Republic of China government was established, and he barely returned to his hometown.

But from this time, the tragedy began.

His wife, Jiazhen, has hypochondriasis. So he can't do heavy work, and the burden of the whole family is on him. A pair of children also died one after another because of various helpless tragedies, and later even a lame son-in-law died, leaving only a little grandson named Kugen, who followed Fugui back to the countryside. But at that time, life was very difficult, even beans were difficult to eat, Fugui felt sorry for his grandson, so he boiled beans for the bitter root to eat, but the bitter root died because of eating beans......

In short, every touch of warmth in life is finally torn apart by death again and again.

Almost all kinds of bitterness in life are fermenting in such a life story, who looks, who is so bitter that they can't speak.

To put it simply, such a story, for any director who has a little pursuit, it feels like a gluttonie seeing a delicious meal, and there is no power to resist it at all.

Of course, film is a comprehensive art of sound, electricity, light and shadow, but a good story is the starting point and end point of everything. And a story like "Alive" is one in ten thousand.

After reading it for the first time, Yu Bojun was convinced: Some of the things he has been pursuing in his life are here.

He even thinks that after doing this, he can retire!

So, he fell into it all at once, and it took three days to stare.

The moment he came to his senses, he almost decided to close the stall directly, terminate and scrap all the filming of the drama at hand, and then began to polish the book called "Alive" in his hand.

However, after thinking about it, in the end, he put away this obviously scolded idea, and while figuring out the story back and forth, he absentmindedly began to guide this urban romance film that was already "bullshit" and "far-fetched" in his eyes.

But at the same time, he did two things.

The first thing he asked his assistant for a one-dollar coin, which he solemnly put in his trouser pocket, and took it out every day to play with it for a while;

The second thing is that he actually broke his habit of having to have a woman every night, drove his girlfriend away at the time, and spent three nights fighting at night, copying the script word by word with a pen, and then sent someone to send his manuscript to Cao Zhan.

Three days later, Cao Zhan called, "Pull Shangqian, let's do this!"

So, Yu Bojun's heart has a bottom.

Next, when the restlessness in his heart gradually subsided, on the surface, he seemed to suddenly return to his soul and began to pack up the work in front of him, but deep down, there was a fire that began to burn more and more.

This fire can be held for half a year in one breath, and finally, after the movie is finished, Yu Bojun immediately kills it.

…………

In the villa, Chu Bingbing added another set of cups to Yu Bojun, and then he flashed, and only the four of them were left in Cao Zhan's study. In fact, Wang Huaiyu didn't understand the movie, so he sat with a smile and didn't interject, just listened to the three of them play two and one there.

"Good brother, come on, pull my brother, if I don't hurry up and shoot it, I don't have the heart to pick up girls, you know?"

Li Qian shook his head.

"Bojun is other nonsense, it's true that he likes this story. Of course, I don't know how to direct, and I haven't been an actor, so I can just give Bojun a wake-up call or something. Qian, come on, let's make a big one together! Let me tell you, I've watched countless movies over the years, and I've written one or two dozen scripts, but this book of yours is the top three of all the things I've seen, DIAO, that's the real DIAO!"

Li Qian smiled, still shaking his head.

Cao Zhan stopped persuading and picked up his pipe.

Yu Bojun asked, "Why? You wrote a story, don't you want to shoot it?"

Li Qian calmly replied, "Yes." Of course I want to! But the time is not right!"

Cao Zhan's eyes widened, and Yu Bojun frowned.

Li Qian said slowly: "I'm only a sophomore. I haven't really carried the camera very seriously. Of course. Brother Cao is an expert in screenwriting, and I wrote the story, so it's no problem for us to give you a hand, and it's incumbent on you. But you're not ready yet!"

Yu Bojun was stunned when he heard this.

But a moment later, Cao Zhan took a few puffs of his pipe. But he actually nodded.

"That's right, what Qian said makes sense, you ...... It's really not ready! This film shouldn't be so easy to make!"

Cao Zhan thought as he spoke, and his speed of speech was rarely slow, "This film, if others don't say it, there is just one actor, and there are only a handful of actors in China who can eat it." That kind of coffee, it's up to you now. I can't stop it, it's not that people are disobedient, or anything else, the main thing is that your understanding and grasp of this film may not be able to keep up with others, then when the time comes, you are a director, but you can't suppress the play, and it is likely that you will be filmed!"

Yu Bojun finally calmed down, took the teacup and drank it all, knocked his fingers on the teacup, and asked, "Then what should I do?"

Cao Zhan thought about it, sighed, and said: "First, leave your set of urban romance films that cheat money, make some serious things, and first shoot at least one or two literary and artistic things to practice, and second, don't shoot other genres, just pick such a book with a strong humanistic color and a book that doesn't make money." When you're mature and confident, it's estimated that Qian has also graduated, so let's get this book again!"

Yu Bojun knocked on the teacup again, thought for a moment, and turned his head to look at Li Qian.

Cao Zhan's reasoning is, of course, correct.

Although Yu Bojun is experienced, he is only a monotonous pure commercial film, and he is also experienced in urban love commercial films, but the literary and artistic films, and they are at the level of "Alive", which is enough to show the joys and sorrows of human beings, but it is not something that he can play with his current experience!

You must know that the original "Alive" is Zhang Guoshi's best work!

In 1994, this film won the Grand Jury Prize at Cannes, and Uncle Ge also won the Best Actor!

In the entire history of Chinese film, this film dare not say that it is the first, at least the top three are stable!

Therefore, Cao Zhan's suggestion is actually exactly what Li Qian wants to say.

Facing Yu Bojun's inquiring gaze, he nodded slowly.

…………

In the evening, the brothers had a dinner.

Let's talk.

When he was half-drunk, Li Qian said that he was thinking about whether to officially debut and release an album recently, Cao Zhan ran over and hugged a guitar on a whim and asked Li Qian to sing.

Although he drank a few taels of wine, Li Qian's throat was still within the controllable range, a little abnormal, but it still sounded good.

After listening to it, several people unanimously thought, let's make your debut!

In Yu Bojun's words: Anyway, your family is out of records, and your two women are not trouble-free, even if you hide, you won't be able to hide for a few days. Now that the media is becoming more and more developed, sooner or later, you will have nothing to hide, it is better to simply stand up yourself, and the media will not hold you back.

Li Qian was still hesitating, Wang Huaiyu suddenly said: "Speaking of which, when you come to Shuntianfu, I can choke enough, Qian, if you really want to make your debut, if you look back and lack a suona or a sheng, remember to say hello, I will volunteer to help." ”

After he finished speaking, before Li Qian nodded, Cao Zhan suddenly said: "I suddenly feel that the relationship between the four of us is so iron, why don't we form a band to play?"

With a brush, it seemed that a white light suddenly split through Li Qian's mind.

Wang Huaiyu was stunned for a moment, although he was in a hurry, he seemed to be suddenly awakened, and slapped his thigh hard with a look of surprise, and said, "Okay!"

Then the two of them turned their heads to look at Li Qian together.

Li Qian's eyes were shining, excited, tentative, but uncertain and asked, "Form a band?" and play...... Rock?"

Cao Zhan also slapped his thigh violently, "Of course you play rock!

As he spoke, he looked up at Yu Bojun.

Yu Bojun was in a dementia, and quickly raised his hands, "Don't count me, I'm not playing music." Besides, I'm going to make a few more plays next, and you don't know!"

While speaking, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Li Qian and Cao Zhan, "You two, let's talk about it just now, I don't care what you want to play, in short, one person will help me get a book!"

As soon as he said this, Cao Zhan suddenly burst out laughing.

Next, Wang Huaiyu, a good old man, actually laughed along, and the two of them quickly laughed forward and backwards.

Yu Bojun was stunned for a moment, and then his face was full of helplessness, while Li Qian was a little confused.

"You ...... What are you laughing at?" he asked.

The two continued to laugh.

After a while, Wang Huaiyu suppressed his laughter and said with difficulty: "As soon as I talk about Bojun playing music, I think of it...... I remembered...... Hahaha! Bojun ......" He smiled and looked at Yu Bojun, "Who said you don't play music, you tell Qian yourself, what instrument have you learned?"

Cao Zhan's laughter had almost stopped, but when he heard this, he laughed again, and he could barely stop.

Yu Bojun's face was full of embarrassment, and Li Qian became more and more confused by the second monk.

So, he turned his head to look at Yu Bojun, "Brother Yu, what instrument have you learned? Why do they laugh like this?"

Yu Bojun helplessly stretched out his hand and pointed at Cao Zhan and Wang Huaiyu, looking so hateful, "You guys are really ...... Hey, I've convinced you both!

Li Qian became more and more curious, and pushed his arm, "What is this, tell me, the two of them already know, if you don't say it, I won't ask them the same?"

Yu Bojun was a little embarrassed, and he didn't want to say anything.

Cao Zhan and Wang Huaiyu finally stopped laughing slowly, and Wang Huaiyu was still very embarrassed to yell at Yu Bojun, "Brother, brother...... I'm sorry, I'm sorry! It's my brother's fault, I'll punish myself with three cups, and I will punish myself with three cups!"

Li Qian hugged his shoulders and stopped talking.

Yu Bojun turned his head to glance at him, frowned helplessly, and reluctantly said: "That's the case, our family has a rule, don't care about boys and girls, from the age of six, you must choose a musical instrument." It is said that the reason why my great-grandfather set this rule was because he thought that music could cultivate people's sentiments, at least not let their children and grandchildren become completely wasted, and even if they spent a lot of time, at least they could have some taste, so of course, I had to choose a musical instrument from an early age to start learning. ”

Speaking of this, he paused, and saw that Cao Zhan and Wang Huaiyu were both looking at him with a wicked smile, and couldn't help but say, "You two, punish wine, hurry up!" Then he turned his head to Li Qian, who looked curious, and continued: "At that time, I didn't understand anything, and my dad didn't care about my business, he just drank and talked about business all day long, and then ...... And then...... My third uncle recommended a musical instrument to me, saying that no one in our family has ever learned that, you learn that, and specify something different. ”

"Then, I studied for a few years. It wasn't until I was fourteen years old that I finally learned what my third uncle meant by letting me learn that instrument......"

Listening to him babbling for a long time, but it was not to the point, Li Qian couldn't help but ask: "Then what kind of musical instrument did you learn? As for making Brother Cao and Brother Wang laugh like that?"

Yu Bojun shrugged helplessly, lowered his head, and said, "Xiao." ”

"Xiao?"

Li Qian was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly burst out laughing.
