Chapter 364 of the text 1992

Next chapter

At this moment, the audience present breathed a sigh of relief, and many people found that their faces were a little hot, all of which were held back when the atmosphere was tense just now.

Jia Zhangke shook his head gently, this air battle scene was filmed very excitingly, and the special effects were good, but the filming was too commercial.

Of course, this scene is very connotative, the dream is a projection of reality, this scene reflects Qiao Zhengfei's inner desire to fly; at the same time, the use of J-8 against F16 has a strong symbolic meaning, F16 symbolizes reality, J-82 symbolizes dreams, air combat symbolizes the confrontation between reality and dreams, and it is also a hint of follow-up development. It's just that Jia Zhangke feels that it shouldn't be filmed for such a long time, so it caters too much to the audience, and it is not welcome at the three major film festivals.

The movie continues, and now Qiao Zhengfei is a welder in a tractor factory, Liu Jiao is a female worker in the factory, and the two are lovers. They go to work together, eat together, walk together, and kiss in the woods.

1992 was a year full of changes, the newspapers were full of articles studying the speeches of the Southern Tour, and the slogan "Iron wages, iron rice bowls, and iron chairs must be completely broken" was written on the walls of the factory.

Foreign audiences don't understand this, but Jia Zhangke is a little stunned, didn't Zhang Ran go to the United States in high school? How can he portray that period so accurately?

On this day's date, Liu Jiao whispered to Qiao Zhengfei: "My mother told me a kiss and asked me to meet on Sunday." ”

Qiao Zhengfei jumped up: "What, you didn't sue her, do you want to follow me?"

Liu Jiao said aggrievedly: "I said it, but my mother said that I can't follow you with anyone." You want me to go with you, to my mother!"

Screen switch, Liu Jiao's house.

Qiao Zhengfei and Liu Jiao's mother sat on both sides of the table, and their eyes were met, like a martial arts master's duel. Liu Jiao stood behind her mother, worried and shy.

Qiao Zhengfei said: "No one will be better than me to Jiaojiao, she will not be happy with others!"

Liu Jiao's mother said: "What happiness do you have if you don't have money? Teacher Huang Lei of No. 5 Middle School has a salary of 300 yuan a month, how much money do you have?"

Qiao Zhengfei smiled: "It's easy to make money, so how much do you think is appropriate?"

Liu Jiao's mother said: "It's okay to let Liu Jiao have no worries about food and clothing." ”

Zhang Ran said confidently: "Just have your words, I will take the money to marry Jiaojiao within a year!" After speaking, he got up and left, and Liu Jiao followed closely behind.

Liu Jiao's mother looked at the backs of the two and sighed: "You just earned money, Liu Jiao can't marry you, you're not a down-to-earth person!"

Qiao Zhengfei made a surprising decision, resigned from the factory, pulled two friends, and opened a rebar processing workshop. Everyone thought Qiao Zhengfei was crazy, but Qiao Zhengfei believed that he could do it.

Qiao Zhengfei's welding skills are good, and his business is really good.

After entering August, the price of steel suddenly rose like the stock price of Shenzhen, every day. By September, the price of steel had risen by nearly 1,000 yuan per ton. Before that, Qiao Zhengfei mortgaged the house, borrowed a sum of money from the bank, and bought more than 100 tons of steel, and now he can make a lot of money by selling the steel.

The happiest is undoubtedly Liu Jiao, and now Qiao Zhengfei has the money to marry him. She made an appointment with Qiao Zhengfei and went to propose marriage on Sunday.

On Sunday, Qiao Zhengfei prepared the bride price money, changed into a suit, and went to the door to propose marriage in high spirits.

Walking to the door of the community, Qiao Zhengfei habitually looked at the newspaper on the newspaper reading column, and a report attracted him. Cao Zhengshu, a farmer in Anxian County, Sichuan, began to build airplanes in his humble shed in 1984, and has failed four test flights so far.

For fourteen years, the dream of flying that has been buried in his heart collided with Qiao Zhengfei's chest. He couldn't help himself, he didn't want his dream to crawl on the ground, he decided to build an airplane and let his dream fly.

Qiao Zhengfei didn't go to Liu Jiao's house and came to the motorcycle shop. Airplanes needed engines, and he had nowhere to find real ones, so he had to replace them with motorcycle engines. After careful inquiry, he spent nearly 20,000 yuan to buy the most powerful motorcycle.

Liu Jiao waited stupidly at home, and waited until the evening without seeing Qiao Zhengfei's shadow. She was angry and anxious, and came to Qiao Zhengfei's house to ask him what he meant.

Qiao Zhengfei told Liu Jiao that he was going to build a plane, and he needed to wait for the marriage. Liu Jiao was very angry, whether it was me or the plane that was important, she had a big quarrel with Qiao Zhengfei, slammed the door and left.

Qiao Zhengfei didn't take this seriously, Liu Jiao was playing with a child's temper, and it would be over after a fuss. His mind is devoted to building airplanes, hoping to fulfill his dream as soon as possible and take to the skies.

Liu Jiao was annoyed by Qiao Zhengfei's attitude, what are you and me, kittens and puppies, if you ignore it, I'll post it myself? As soon as Liu Jiao was angry, she met with the object introduced by her mother, Huang Lei, the teacher of No. 5 Middle School.

After the blind date, Liu Jiao deliberately told Qiao Zhengfei about the experience, and also told him that Huang Lei was in the same school as her and liked her for many years. Qiao Zhengfei knew that Liu Jiao was deliberately provoking himself, and comforted: "Jiaojiao, you wait for me for a while, and when I build the plane, I will go to propose!"

Liu Jiao was completely enraged: "Wait, wait, you just wait to eat my candy!"

Liu Jiao's house, there is a green bride price on the table. Huang Lei took out a stack of money and handed it to the matchmaker, who handed it to Liu Jiao's mother. The matchmaker smiled and said, "This is 5,000 yuan, bride price." ”

Liu Jiao's mother accepted it with a smile, and Liu Jiao ran back to her room, lying on the table and crying.

Liu Jiao and Huang Lei's marriage was decided, and the marriage certificate was also ripped off.

On the night before the wedding, Liu Jiao found Qiao Zhengfei, walked with him to the place where he had a previous date, and then came to Qiao Zhengfei's house and handed herself over to Qiao Zhengfei. She couldn't accompany Qiao Zhengfei to go down, this was a complete goodbye.

On the day of her wedding, Liu Jiao wore a red wedding dress with a red flower on her head, looking delicate and moving. It's just that there is no joy on her face, and tears are pouring down. The matchmaker thought that she was leaving the house because she was leaving, and she was sad and said words of persuasion.

At this time, Qiao Zhengfei's friend Cao Bingkun broke in: "Qiao Zhengfei asked me to bring you a message, today's plane test flight, if you still remember the original agreement, go for a trip, he is waiting for you outside!"

Liu Jiao was silent for a while, ignoring her mother's obstruction, rushed out of the house, and rushed towards Qiao Zheng who was standing at the end of the street.

Qiao Zhengfei laughed, pulled the fiery girl beside him, ran forward under the sun, and finally disappeared in everyone's eyes.

The audience in front of the screen applauded, this is a beautiful relationship, it shouldn't be missed, everyone wants a happy ending.

The camera switched, on the side of the abandoned highway, there were many onlookers standing, and Liu Jiao, who was wearing a red wedding dress, was the most eye-catching, so everyone was waiting for Qiao Zhengfei to fly for a test flight.

Qiao Zhengfei put on a motorcycle helmet, tightened his trouser belt, and pulled the rear engine. In the roar of "da-da", Qiao Zhengfei sat in the driver's seat, holding the clutch in his hand, and staring at the runway in front of him.

Amid the cheering of dozens of onlookers, Qiao Zhengfei slowly released the clutch, and the plane began to taxi forward. Amid cheers, the plane shook its wings and ran back and forth on the ground twice.

Feeling good, Qiao Zhengfei raised his thumb and gestured, ready to take off officially. He slammed the throttle and the plane accelerated forward. The onlookers all shouted loudly, and Liu Jiao folded her hands and prayed silently.

At the moment when the plane rushed out, Jia Zhangke saw a scene that shocked him, the picture of the movie slowly unfolded to both sides, and the frame ratio of the whole shot changed from 1.37:1 to 2.35:1, like unfolding a picture scroll, and the whole world was wide.

Not only him, but all the directors present were dumbfounded, it turned out that the lens could still be used like this!

After running more than 100 meters, Qiao Zhengfei felt that it was almost over, pulled the operating lever, and prepared to take off. At this moment, the plane's engine made a bang, a puff of black smoke came out, and the plane began to slow down until it was completely immobile. At the same time, the film's aspect ratio began to shrink, from 2.35:1 to 1.37:1, as if a picture scroll had been rolled up.

At this moment, Jia Zhangke only has two words in his heart, I cǎo!

The onlookers hurriedly caught up, Liu Jiao was even more frightened, and everyone was worried that Qiao Zheng was flying out of danger. Qiao Zhengfei jumped down from the plane, shook his head and said, "The engine of the plane is still too small to rise." ”

Liu Jiao saw that Qiao Zhengfei was fine, so she breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to leave. She fulfilled her original promise, and now it's time to go back and get married.

Qiao Zhengfei grabbed Liu Jiao's arm, hoping that she would stay and be with him.

Liu Jiao stared into Zhang Ran's eyes: "If you are willing to give up building an airplane, I will go with you, can you do it?"

Qiao Zhengfei couldn't understand: "Why do you have to choose one? Can't you have both? You're forcing me!"

"Yes, I'm just forcing you to do it!" Liu Jiao raised her voice and shouted loudly, "Will you choose me? You won't! In your heart, I don't matter at all." Her voice lowered, and tears rolled down: "I just want a stable home, you can't give it to me." I'm going back!"

Qiao Zhengfei asked loudly, "Have you forgotten what we said?"

Liu Jiao's eyes were ethereal, as if she was reminiscing, she smiled, and tears rolled down: "I've forgotten, you have forgotten me too!"

Qiao Zhengfei watched Liu Jiao's figure gradually move away, smashed a punch on the plane, and then raised his head to the sky above him.

The sky is blue, there are no clouds, and it is a good weather. The strong sunlight sprinkled on Qiao Zhengfei's face, but it did not make people feel hopeful, but made people feel lonely and desperate.

The test flight failed, his girlfriend married someone else again, and Qiao Zhengfei was hit hard. But he didn't despair, and his dreams were still stirring in his heart. He had learned that to build an airplane that could actually fly, he needed a stronger engine and more money. He decided to go south to Shenzhen to work and earn enough money to build airplanes.

Qiao Zhengfei transferred his workshop to his two partners, walked out of the room with his bag, locked the door, and prepared to leave.

Cao Bingkun asked, "Zhengfei, are you really just leaving?"

Qiao Zhengfei smiled and said, "Yes, there is nothing worth remembering me!"

Cao Bingkun asked again: "Really not coming back?"

Qiao Zhengfei paused: "It's really not coming back!" After speaking, he picked up the key in his hand and looked at it, and threw it on the roof. He lifted the bag and put it on his shoulder, striding away.

Camera cuts, moving trains.

The camera cuts to the carriage, Qiao Zhengfei is sitting by the window, looking out of the window, the whole person is immersed in endless responses.

This was followed by a documentary, the return of Xiangjiang, the British flag fell, and the five-star red flag was raised. The subtitle reads "1997!"

Jia Zhangke doesn't know if foreign audiences can really understand "The Aviator", this movie is indeed about dreams, but it is not just about dreams, which is interspersed with a lot of news, such as the speech of the southern tour, smashing the three irons, Shenzhen 810 shares crazy, etc., under Zhang Ran's arrangement, these events and the fate of the characters are perfectly integrated.

While telling a story, the film clearly portrays the image of the whole society. This is an elegy for the little people in the big era!

The movie is not over yet, but Jia Zhangke believes that with the first two acts, "The Aviator" is enough to leave a name in Chinese film history! )
