Chapter 296: The Rod Maker on the Wuxi River
Chapter 296 "The Rod Maker on the Wuxi River"
Li Junge said with a smile: "This second quasi has kept us in the dark, we haven't even seen this film, bring us with you when the time comes, I think the movie that can get two nominations should not be bad." ”
When Ikeda and Ryoko's mother chatted with Ryoko and the craftsman about Lijiagou's life, and when Ryoko showed the video of the wedding to Ikeda, the old man was stunned for a while, wiped his tears uncontrollably, and laughed happily for a while.
The old lady also cried and laughed when she saw it.
After watching the wedding clip, Ikeda said to Ayin and Li Junge: "Liangzi's love for Huang Sang is deep-rooted, but between our two countries, alas, Li Jiagou has a deep affection, and Liangzi lives there very well, and he is not discriminated against at all." Thank you, thank you for taking care of you. ”
After speaking, he bowed deeply to the two.
The two were so frightened that they hurriedly returned the salute, and Ayin said: "Uncle, don't dare to be, don't dare to be! This is what our juniors should do." ”
Ikeda said with a smile: "Today is a day of great joy, according to your Chinese customs, it should be called 'Huimen', right? Today I have arranged a traditional Japanese dish for you, 'Kui Sushi', which is the ancestor of Japanese sushi, and the legend is that it is still passed down from China!"
The old lady clapped her hands twice, and the apprentices came in to remove the refreshments and bring a new plate.
At the bottom of the plate are some rice balls, on which are slices of sliced crucian carp, and the cavity of the crucian carp's body is full of fish eggs.
Ikeda's eyebrows fluttered: "This is made from crucian carp from Lake Biwa near us, and it is a well-known specialty, and it has always been regarded as a high-class product. ”
After speaking, he picked up a piece of chopsticks and said, "In the Heian period, there is a record that says that Omi Province, located in present-day Shiga Prefecture, used sushi as a tribute. ”
"At that time, vinegar had not yet been invented in Japan, and our ancestors selected crucian carp with spawning scallops. After cleaning, the crucian carp is smeared with salt and put it in a bucket to cover it, and then place a heavy object on the bucket and wait for two to three months to let the blood in the carp's body slowly squeeze out and remove it. ”
"When it is about summer, the crucian carp is taken out of the bucket and washed, then the fish cavity is filled with salted rice, and then the carp is placed in the bucket stuffed with rice, pressed with a heavy object, and continues to ferment for as long as possible. That's how the sourness in the sushi comes from. ”
Then he asked Liangzi's mother, "How long has this barrel been marinated?"
Liangzi's mother said: "This barrel has been marinated for a year and a half. ”
Old man Ikeda beckoned to everyone: "Come on, come on, let's try the food that has taken two years." ”
The Japanese are also meticulous in eating, with a plate of sushi and a small rice ball for each person.
Li Junge had already heard a few key words, "pickled", "two years", "rice", "salt", and "sour", and he was vigilant.
The others, unaware of the severity, stuffed the rice balls into their mouths.
Seeing that his expressions were strange, Uncle Craftsman wanted to vomit but didn't dare to vomit, so he rolled his eyes and swallowed!
Uncle Wangcai's cheeks suddenly bulged, and he quickly covered his mouth with his hand.
Lin Zhao's eyebrows, nose and eyes were wrinkled, and he sneezed rudely.
It's Ayin, who is still eating there with a smile and a smile.
Old man Ikeda looked like he had succeeded in playing tricks: "Hahaha, many people can't stand the taste of sushi for the first time, huh?
Li Junge rolled his eyes and muttered in his heart, their Miao family, as long as it is sour, they all think it is delicious!
Hurriedly gave his piece to Ayin: "I like to eat so much, come, I'll give you this piece too!"
Ayin happily took it: "Erpi, you are so good! This carp sushi has a special sour fragrance, which is similar to the sour meat and sour fish of our Miao family, and it is the first time I have eaten sour fish that is not spicy!"
Now the Ikeda family knew that Ayin really liked the dish, and they were even more happy.
As for the others, they are all slandered, and they are sour, and they are so nice to say, but they are obviously stinky!
Li Junge nodded with a smile: "Such a delicacy, how can you enjoy it exclusively, I have already thought of the gift for the return trip, the pig worm, the Wang Ba Po, none of them can run!"
Fortunately, the dishes in the back are normal, although I am still not used to it, but they are all at a good level, especially a dish of teriyaki eel, which has won unanimous praise from everyone.
There was nothing to say all night, and the next day everyone went to Kyoto together, one was to arrange the orchid exhibition hall, but to participate in the movie.
The Tokyo Film Festival has arranged a number of screenings for each of the participating films, and the audience has the opportunity to watch each film.
The theater is not small, half of it is from the Federation, and the other half is an audience interested in the film.
Li Junge saw that the theater was full, and it could be seen that the Japanese still attached great importance to traditional handicrafts.
There are even quite a few young people among them.
It turns out that in addition to being interested in manga, small movies, and cosplay, there are also many Japanese young people who like traditional handicrafts.
The lights go out and the screen comes on.
The opening film is an animation of a doll jumping with a plastic gun, then aiming at an apple on a milk bottle, and then zooming in to a close-up, the front sight of the gun is aimed at the apple, and then pulling the trigger, "poof", a foam fist with a shrink rod comes out of the muzzle, knocking the apple down.
The doll hey thief laughed, the camera zoomed out, it turned out to be a circle, a cross in the circle, like a cross sight, the cross divided the circle into four rooms, in each room there was a baby naughty, next to the five Chinese characters "Xingzhun Studio".
The opening of the film made many people laugh, and Li Junge said to Ah Yin: "Erzhun This piece is quite fun. ”
Next is the feature film, and as soon as the picture comes out, there are several unsettling and hectic scenes.
The opening scene is a noisy market, the sound of cars, the sound of selling, and the sound of shouting...... In the background is people busy trading, moving, and in the near corner of the camera are several baskets of turnip greens packed in bamboo boxes.
Next is the noodle restaurant on the street side of Yuzhou, the small table is placed on the street, the sound of the horn, the sound of the diners ordering, the boss's promise, the background is people walking in a hurry, the diners are eating noodles with a snort, near the camera is a small table where no one is sitting, with chopsticks on it and a bamboo chopsticks inside.
Finally, there's the nightclub, with crazy music, dancing crowds and scattered lights in the background, and a close-up close-up of a fruit bowl cut into small cubes, each with a bamboo toothpick stuck in it.
The music is getting more and more urgent, and the crowd is getting more and more crazy......
Just when the audience began to feel uncomfortable, the grumpy music stopped abruptly, and suddenly everything in the picture turned into a fog.
Then some bamboo branches and leaves appeared on both sides of the lower screen, and then moved to the top of the screen, and the audience realized that the camera was still moving from top to bottom.
Then a puddle of green water appeared at the bottom of the screen, and people reacted that it was a section of the misty river that was filmed.
The green water is clear, the mist is ethereal, and it is like a fairyland.
There was no music, just the chirping of birds in the woods on the shore.
The audience's hearts that had been irritable before suddenly quieted down, and many people let out a comfortable "oh".
Suddenly, the bow of a small wooden boat broke out of the fog, and then the figure of Uncle Craftsman standing on the boat also came out of the fog, holding a long green bamboo pole, clicking on the water surface left and right, and facing the camera.
Uncle Craftsman frowned lightly, without any expression, but the dress on his body was already the same as after meeting Liangzi, with a thin face, vicissitudes of life, and low eyebrows, he was definitely full of the charm of a middle-aged man, and I heard many little girls in the theater "Wow".
The subtitle "The Rod Maker of the Wuxi River" appears on the surface of the water, then is shaken out by the waves on the surface of the water, and then is crushed by the bow of the ship and disappears into the water......
Li Junge held Ayin's hand tightly, this opening, it's okay.
Then the film begins to flashback, and the beginning is the scene of Uncle Smith's wedding.
Grandma sat in the new house, smiled and accepted the worship of Uncle Mi and Liangzi, and put a bracelet on the bride.
What follows is the joyous scene of Ikeda's visit, with the staggered selection of chips on the nine bucket bowls, the laughter and laughter of the audition, and the ambiguity and warmth of Uncle Ikeda's weaving a sheep's head to give it to his son.
Li Junge turned to look at Liangzi, who had already fallen deeply into the atmosphere and mood of the film, and her eyes were already full of tears.
But then, the tone of the film became more and more solemn, and the prominent theme was only "loneliness".
He sat alone in the middle of the yard correcting bamboo poles and scraping bamboo branches, accompanied only by a ray of sunlight passing through the bamboo forest and a few birdsongs......
He set up a stall in the countryside, and people came and went around him, and there was only a pile of finely woven and beautifully carved bamboo utensils......
He was mixing glue and lacquer in front of the dim fire, the flames kept beating in the hearth, and all that accompanied him was the speckled paint sores on his arms due to allergies......
And he climbed the snow-stained mountain forest with difficulty, the wind and snow blew away his hat, and he was accompanied only by the whistling mountain wind and the ice slag condensed by his breath beside his beard......
empathize, feel, the corners of many people's eyes are moist, especially the people who make rods in the federation, and they are crying even more.
Ryoko took Uncle Miao's hand and kissed him on the mouth, as if only in this way would he not cry.
However, no matter how depressed Uncle Craftsman is in the shot, his eyes are always the same.
The sun, the birdsong, the human voices, the sores, the wind and snow, everything, could not take his flat and focused eyes off the bamboo.
The film conveys very clearly to the audience that this person, no matter what his appearance is, no matter what his environment is, as long as he is given a bamboo, he will immediately become extremely powerful.
Loneliness, despair, poverty, sickness, in the face of such power, can only be crushed into powder!
Li Junge's eyes were also moist, he took Ayin's hand, and said in a low voice: "Bright and open, my heart is unstained." What will happen to me!"
