663, shake, shake, shake to grandma bridge (1/3)
The car was driving on the road to the countryside of Guangdong, and the countryside scenery in winter was a little depressed, but you could still see a lot of greenery. Candy Candy was lying on the window of the car, looking at the speeding scenery with great interest, and on the way, she saw a buffalo in the field, screaming excitedly and amazed.
Tang Shuang listened to her muttering in a small milk voice, and laughed in her heart, there are indeed many children who have grown up in the city who have never seen a cow, and for children who grew up in the countryside, this is simply incredible, because they spend almost a large part of their childhood with the cow, every morning and afternoon to herd the cow, put the cow on the hillside, and the friends will play together, until the sun goes down, and then lead the cow back to their respective homes.
Have you never eaten pork, haven't you ever seen a pig run? This saying is now reversed, and there are many people who have never seen a pig run.
Along the way, I spent time in the shouting and singing of candy, and when I arrived at the village where "Grandma" was filmed, the crew was filming, there were not many people, compared with dragons and snakes, one in the sky and one underground. The conditions are very simple, Tang Shuang sighed in his heart, Xiao Yezi has spent several months in such an environment, it is really not easy.
Ye Liang beckoned to Tang Shuang from afar, Candy jumped up happily and beckoned to him, but unfortunately Ye Liang didn't notice her at all, which made the villain a little disappointed, but she quickly diverted her attention, this was making a movie! She was very strange, if Tang Shuang hadn't told her not to run around, she wouldn't have known where to slip away.
At the shooting site, there was a beautiful woman wearing a baseball cap running up and down, it was Miao Wen. At the beginning, Ye Liang didn't have much expectations for Miao Wen to join, if he didn't like her, Ye Liang wouldn't have found such a helper, but in the past few months, he couldn't help but be glad that he had made the original choice, if it wasn't for Miao Wen's presence, he wouldn't have been able to do it alone.
Making a feature film and making a short commercial film are completely different things, Ye Liang thought too simple before, until he did it, he found that one thing after another came out, everyone had to find him for ideas when they encountered problems, and they couldn't delay time, and they had to make a judgment in the shortest possible time. Even if the storyline of "Grandma" is very simple and the personnel are very simple, it still makes Ye Liang anxious.
It took Ye Liang half a month to gradually adapt to the role of director, and the crew finally got together.
Tang Shuang saw that there was an old man with gray hair beside Ye Liang, who was clearly Zhang Tianfeng, the dean of the Film School of Yuezhou University, but he didn't expect him to happen to come.
Zhang Tianfeng walked towards Tang Shuang, Tang Shuang: "Teacher Zhang is good." ”
Candy also said crisply: "Zhang broke it." ”
Zhang Tianfeng lowered his head and greeted the little piggy with a smile: "I know you, you are candy, your father's little baby." ”
Candy Er said unashamedly: "Hehehehe, I'm a baby of many people." ”
Zhang Tianfeng smiled and said that he was really a little clever, he chatted with Tang Shuang for a while, looked at the filming set and said: "The story of "Grandma" is very wonderful, I have read all the small stories you wrote, all of them are incredible, eye-opening, amazing, young people." ”
Tang Shuang smiled and said modestly: "When it comes to writing and playing, I like to open my mind." ”
Zhang Tianfeng: "It's all very good original scripts, plan well, don't sell the copyright at will, these stories have great value." ”
Tang Shuang was stunned for a moment, and said sincerely: "Thank you, I understand." ”
Zhang Tianfeng changed the topic and said: "The nursery rhyme "Shake to Grandma's Bridge" is very well chosen, the finishing touch, when I first understood it, it was a little creepy. ”
Tang Shuang thought about it for a while, and understood what he was talking about, and said with a smile: "It's just a little ruined childhood, I don't know if the audience will hold me accountable when the time comes." ”
Zhang Tianfeng also laughed and said: "Fortunately, this nursery rhyme has been circulated for a long time, and there is no songwriter, otherwise once the author holds you responsible, it will be a big problem." ”
The plot that is being filmed now is a location location.
Xiaoli and grandma have swapped bodies, grandma's soul lives in Xiaoli's body, and follows her parents out of the hospital, and the next day, "Xiaoli" is ready to go to school, but runs away on the road to find her first love, an old man paralyzed in bed and dying.
In front of her, the reborn "Xiaoli" was walking on a country road with a schoolbag on her back, and saw children playing hopscotch and jumping rubber bands, which were games she also played in her childhood. "Xiaoli" couldn't help but smile, nostalgic for the carefree childhood in the past, it was really a beautiful time.
She stood aside for a long time and watched the children play, until the children were gone, and she was still standing there, bouncing on the ground alone, and also playing games, singing nursery rhymes happily while playing-
Shake and shake, shake to grandma's bridge, grandma called me a good baby. A bag of sugar, a bag of fruit, and my grandmother bought a fish to roast......
Suddenly, joy and sorrow sang, and she sang and sang, silently shed tears, and left without looking back.
Tang Shuang watched Zhong Beiqi originally bounce and sing the nursery rhyme "Shake to Grandma's Bridge" with an innocent face, but when the mood changed, he immediately showed a look that only adults have, with nostalgia, sadness and a trace of resentment. Although the vicissitudes of life can't be expressed, it is enough, and such a full and natural emotion makes the hairs on his arms stand on end.
Zhong Beiqi is indeed a little dramatist, but her acting skills have not yet reached the point where she can make people's hairs stand on end. The reason why Tang Shuang was moved was that her temperament was really suitable for the role of Xiaoli, with a hint of maturity in her jerky, and he finally knew why Ye Liang liked this little girl so much.
A simple plot was performed by her with a different taste, especially for Tang Shuang, as the author of this story, he is clear about all kinds of foreshadowing and metaphors. This plot seems to have no substance, but it is actually very, very important for the whole film.
Grandma remembers her childhood life, full of happiness and regret, which paves the way for her later cruel reluctance to leave Xiaoli's body and let Xiaoli die on her behalf.
This nursery rhyme is a very important detail, the whole story will appear twice, the first time is here, the second time is at the end of the story, 30 years later, "Xiaoli" appeared at her mother's funeral, and couldn't help humming this favorite nursery rhyme when she was a child again.
It was through this nursery rhyme that the audience was horrified to discover that grandma's soul had never left Xiaoli's body, and it was actually Xiaoli who died.
The reason why Tang Shuang chose the nursery rhyme "Shake to Grandma's Bridge" is not for no reason, but has a deep meaning in it.
This is a warm nursery rhyme praising grandma, many people have had the experience of falling asleep listening to this nursery rhyme when they were young, it is a symbol of beauty, but in "Grandma", not only is it not warm, but it looks gloomy, and it is extremely scary to think about.
Think about it, grandma is attached to Xiaoli's body and sings "Shake to Grandma's Bridge", as the real owner of this body, Xiaoli when she was a child, in the evening of midsummer, listening to her grandmother sing "Shake to Grandma's Bridge" to sleep, and all the children in the world are the same as their grandmother, this nursery rhyme is a symbol of Xiaoli and grandma's love for each other.
Now, because of such a song, my grandmother remembered her grandmother, and remembered that when she was a child, her grandmother took her hopscotch, jumped rubber bands, and cooked food, but her grandmother died early. She has changed from a little girl to someone else's grandmother, and she can only live until tonight, and she is about to walk on the road of her grandmother.
Xiaoli loved her grandmother so much, she was so kind that she lent her body, but kindness was not cherished as it should be, and her favorite grandmother did not keep her promise and took away her beautiful life.
This is a great irony.
