Chapter 794: Visiting the Class
Hearing that Zhang Jingchu suffered a car accident, Song Zheng could still sit still, immediately ended the publicity, and rushed to Gansu Su, the filming location of "Aromatic Journey", as soon as possible. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
After arriving, I realized that it was a false alarm, the car accident did happen, and Zhang Jingchu was indeed in the car, but her luck was good, the moment the car accident happened, she was protected by the makeup artist of the crew sitting next to her, which avoided injury.
However, the two staff members of the crew were seriously injured, and when Song Zheng arrived, Zhang Jingchu was doing an examination in the hospital, and when she saw Song Zheng coming, she was stunned at first, and then thought that Li Man had called.
"Sister Xiaoman told you!?"
Song Zheng walked over and looked Zhang Jingchu up and down, except for a slight abrasion on his arm, he didn't see any other injuries.
"What did the doctor say?"
Zhang Jingchu smiled faintly and said, "I've just checked it, it's nothing important, just rest for a while!"
Song Zheng heard Zhang Jingchu say this, and then let go of his hanging heart.
"That's good!"
Song Zheng said, sitting next to Zhang Jingchu, holding her hand, when he received the call before, he was really frightened, for fear that Zhang Jingchu would be in danger.
Zhang Jingchu felt the temperature of Song Zheng's palm, and her heart was also warm, she could feel that Song Zheng cared about her, which also relieved her depressed mood a lot because of Lin Xinru's childbirth.
"Aren't you still promoting it over there, how do you have time to come over!?"
"Even if it's a big deal, you have to put it aside!"
Zhang Jingchu said with a smile: "I'll pick up the nice ones and say, by the way, how is that movie? I also read the newspaper before I joined the group, and the one named Chen Jinfei seems to have a big opinion of you!"
"It's okay, a layman wants to squeeze in, and if he doesn't suffer a little loss, he won't be sensible, ignore him, by the way, how about your side?
Zhang Jingchu pursed her lips and smiled: "When I got the script at that time, I didn't read it carefully, I just felt that I played a lot of roles of the same type, and I didn't want to repeat it, but now I think this role is really interesting!"
She has been busy filming for a short time, and she has no time to pay attention to what is happening in the circle, she has just finished filming a movie by Lu Chuan, and then the company has given her "Aromatic Journey", both of which are female number one.
In fact, since signing 1+1, Zhang Jingchu's film contract has not been broken, and at the end of last year, she won the Best Actress at the Yenching University Student Film Festival, and the previous "Peacock" won the Silver Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival.
Speaking of which, this "Aromatic Journey" was personally taken over by Song Zheng to Zhang Jingchu when he was filming "True Lies" in the United States, and the purpose was very simple, just to win the award.
This movie Song Zheng has also seen in his last life, it tells the most extraordinary love story in the chaotic era, although there are many themes like this kind of scar love story, but the era spanned by "Aromatic Journey" is relatively long, and its significance is not only to tell the extraordinary of ordinary love, but also to tell the extraordinary of ordinary love, especially the film is full of respect and fascination for that era full of simple ideals.
If love marriage is the commemoration of one era to another, it is better to say that the love born in that era is sometimes not just memories, not just regrets, not only sorrows, on the contrary, it leaves people with deep and rich nostalgia.
Unlike most movies set in that era, "Aromatic Journey" does not stop at a deep review and self-blame for the mistakes produced in the past era, it is more about digging out the kind of fate arrangement in the hero and heroine, which is most worthy of being cherished and understood by others.
The image of the male protagonist Master Cui is worth recalling, especially the attitude towards love, which is persistent and full of respect, he did not use his own tough means, and he will never give up for the sake of love not reaching the goal, he buries his deep love in his heart.
Although Chef Cui played by Chef Fan does not have a youthful and handsome appearance, he has a fiery and sincere heart, and it is his tolerant and considerate love that won the love of his wife Li Chunfen.
Because in his eyes, Li Chunfen, who is young and full of youthful vitality, is like bright sunshine and beautiful peach blossoms, and he loves such a vigorous and upward atmosphere.
His performance conveys the deepest love of an ordinary man through many subtle actions, such as sandwiching braised pork to Chunfen, Chunfen taking her to the clinic when she is sick, Chunfen making a mistake, he asks his superiors for pardon, Chunfen goes to see Liu Struggle, he insists on waiting for her on a rainy night, and so on to convey the deepest love of an ordinary man.
Especially when he found out that Liu Fenfen wanted to see Chunfen before going abroad, although he prevented Chunfen from seeing Liu Fen, he still wanted to drive Chunfen to see Liu Fen, such a man of great love is really rare.
This is the portrayal of the model worker in that prosperous era, love is within reach, but he loves someone with his own actions and sincerity, and this kind of love is great and worthy of praise.
Through his very calm acting skills, Chef Fan interprets the deep love of this unknown man very moving.
The interpretation in many places in the play does not convey the inner world of the characters through more dialogues of the characters, but conveys his deep love for Li Chunfen through many physical movements.
He knew that he was not Chunfen's favorite type, but through his own efforts and sincerity, he left Chunfen with a tall and majestic image of a man.
Of course, Song Zheng is most concerned about Zhang Jingchu's performance in this play, in the original version of "Aromatic Journey", Zhang Jingchu's performance can be called incisive, this role crosses the age boundary very much, although through the effect of makeup, you can change the illusion of the actor's appearance, but Zhang Jingchu through physical movements, as well as language expression, the changes of different ages are clearly interpreted.
And especially due to the change of fate, Zhang Jingchu's image of a strong female bus driver is very full, and it is through this role that Zhang Jingchu has truly become a new generation of powerful actresses with mature acting skills.
Although there are still some subtle inappropriate performances in some places, from the whole film, the image of ordinary low-level women created by Zhang Jingchu is very credible and evocative.
This is also the reason why Song Zheng wanted Zhang Jingchu to take over this play, he had watched "Aromatic Journey" in his previous life, and Zhang Jingchu left a deep impression on him, so he couldn't bear to let Zhang Jingchu miss such a role, let alone let her miss such an excellent work.
It's just that when Zhang Jingchu first got this script, she wasn't very willing to act, if it was placed in the past, she was unwilling to miss any opportunity to perform, just like Tang Wei now, but now it's different.
With the high box office of "Hurricane Rescue", the queen crown of the Yenching University Student Film Festival, and the prestige of "Peacock" in Berlin, Zhang Jingchu has now begun to pick scripts.
acted in Lu Chuan's movies before, that was because Lu Chuan's previous "Ke Ke Xili" had a lot of influence in the circle, although the so-called heroine did not have many scenes, and Song Zheng was not very willing for her to act, but she still went.
But "Aromatic Journey" is different, having acted in "Peacock" and "Flower Waist Bride", Zhang Jingchu is now very indifferent to this kind of movie.
But I still couldn't help Song Zheng's persuasion, and finally nodded and agreed to act.
This can't blame Zhang Jingchu's high vision, Song Zheng watched "Aromatic Journey" in his previous life, and at first he thought this film was not interesting, but after really watching it, it was different, this movie feels very profound in the plain, it is easy to think of the other two films "Tricycle Driver" and "Central Station", which are also directors of third world countries, with their own perspectives, examining the changes that have occurred in the post-industrial civilization era after opening the country.
"Tricycle Driver" is still a kind of negativity and despair in the end, although there are advanced achievements in the ideological and material fields along with the entry of industrial civilization, and affect some groups in society, but the disadvantages brought about and the decadent effect on society are indelible and far-reaching, especially the people living in the lower classes of society, struggling but unable to get rid of it.
Unlike "Tricycle Driver", although the director of "Grand Central Station" shows these negative factors in the film, such as poverty, crime, lack of belonging, etc., it ultimately reflects the peace and sustenance of the soul. In such a modern society, the ultimate sense of belonging comes from the heart. As long as there is faith and hope in life, the future is still new and beautiful.
In addition to the common characteristics constructed by the above two films, "Aromatic Journey" also has some special connotations under the specific era and specific background of China.
The whole film spans 40 years, these 40 years, but also the 40 years of great changes in Chinese society, after the reform and opening up, with the great material abundance, the productivity is growing by leaps and bounds is the complexity and complexity of the ideological field.
The story ends with Chunfen's fantasy, she fantasizes about the Xiangyang in the past, driving on the wide and smooth road that is now wide, and no longer has to climb over the rugged winding road, but instead has a tunnel that has been opened.
This ending is enough to illustrate the theme of the whole film, in the face of the society after the reform and opening up, people need to accept and enjoy the achievements of advanced material civilization at the same time, to achieve the return of value and spiritual purification in the ideological field. This kind of compatible attitude is a kind of middle-of-the-road judgment under the influence of Chinese Confucianism.
Chef Cui seems to be a forbearant individual in the whole film, and this characteristic of the character is also interpreted by Chef Fan just right.
In fact, behind his externalized image, Master Cui is the most breakthrough character in the whole film.
He dared to express his good feelings for Chunfen and dared to pursue his own happiness, which was a model of courage to break through and innovate, and also represented an individual under a specific era and mainstream ideology.
The first time, he made an exception and asked Chunfen to meet Dr. Liu, who was working in the quarry, and the second time, after struggling in every way, Lao Cui still decided to drive to pick up Liu Fen, and fulfill his wish to see Chunfen before Liu Fen went abroad.
After the repression, reason triumphed over emotion, and what sustained it all was understanding, tolerance, and sincere love for Chunfen.
The heroine, Li Chunfen, is a character throughout the film. From the young and innocent beautiful conductor, to the melancholy and deep wife of the old Cui, to the female bus driver who endures humiliation and bears the heavy responsibilities of the family, Chunfen has experienced experience again and again. During this period, she rebelled and was released, but in exchange for Liu Zhan's betrayal and Lao Cui's accident, she chose to be silent and stay, always retaining the nostalgia for the imagination of the passing era.
The story is set in the 60s to 90s of the last century, which was the stage of the greatest social change in China, after the catastrophe, accompanied by the wave of commoditization after the reform and opening up, material abundance and ideological diversification, in this stage, pragmatism, consumerism, mercantilism permeated the whole society.
In the meantime, the fleet of Lao Cui and Chunfen was restructured, and the Xiangyang was turned into a display and put into the museum, and later, the company was also bought by the developer to build a commercial building, and the Xiangyang finally completed his historical mission and stopped at the scrap recycling station.
The whole process is a process of commoditization slowly infiltrating into society and eventually becoming socially dominant, and all kinds of changes are also taking place in the people around her, such as the female conductor of the Xiangyang wearing a miniskirt and making out with her boyfriend in the car, these are unbelievable in Chunfen's opinion, in the face of the fierce pursuit of Lao Tian, who made a fortune in the cosmetics sales business after the dissolution of the troupe, Chunfen refused, she was not without desire in her heart, but she was bound by various traditional values.
In such an inclusive era, people and things around her are undergoing changes, only Chunfen chooses to stay, she has always adhered to and persisted in her inner beliefs, and what supports her is the memory of her past imagination.
In the story, the images of Mao and the chair appear again and again, becoming a symbol of the value and consciousness of the memory of the past.
This symbol supports and guides Chunfen, when the new generation of conductors and Chunfen walked on the street and told her that Lao Tian was worth entrusting, Chunfen, who was pacing alone, stopped outside the window of the waste household appliance recycling store, and her eyes stayed for a long time on the image of Mao Boss Xi meeting the national model worker, so far, she has the answer in her heart.
This symbol, which refers to memory, finally allowed the traditional value to occupy all of Chunfen's consciousness, and she chose to be lonely all her life, but the portrait of Mao Zhu Xi hanging on the wall of her home on the day of the Spring Festival hinted at Chunfen's inner satisfaction and tranquility.
Compared with the belief in the realm of consciousness, in the material realm, Chunfen finally chose to compromise, when she drove the abandoned Xiangyang from the scrap recycling station, drove in the crowd of bright lights, wine and greenery, and faced the strange onlookers of pedestrians, the great irony hit Chunfen's heart hard.
This is a collision between modern industrial civilization and the old productive forces, but the law is objective, the trend of the forward development of the productive forces is irreversible, and human society must also conform to this trend.
After experiencing the changes of the times and the polishing of the years, Chunfen has changed from a simple and lovely girl to a tough woman who endures humiliation and burden, and under her conservatism and persistence, Chunfen and Xiangyang seem to have become one.
The Xiangyang carries too many memories and hopes, beliefs and beliefs for her, and on the fragrant journey of the Xiangyang, Chunfen's road is bumpy and rugged.
As Chunfen drove the Xiangyang through that familiar and unfamiliar road again and again, before she knew it, her image had been externalized as a male character.
As the director of the film, Zhang Jiarui, said: "I have always reflected the path taken by the Chinese with sincerity, neither exaggerating what has happened, deliberately exposing the dark side, nor bending to welcome and whitewash the peace, I do not want to complain with scars and complaints, to describe the stories that happened in that era, and I don't want Westerners to always see the ignorant and numb faces of Chinese in our films." I try to show them how ordinary people in our country face the times and fate, the tragedies imposed on them, how they calmly face the ups and downs, and how they digest the unjust fate. The generosity, sincerity, responsibility, and perseverance embodied in the previous generation are the soul of the Chinese nation, without which the edifice of our nation would collapse, and the perseverance and perseverance under the suffering are exactly what our times lack. ”
Chunfen's compromise is in exchange for inner tranquility and a sense of belonging, and in her, it reflects the forbearance and tenacity added by thousands of Chinese working people after experiencing special years.
Chunfen's change is passive, unbearable, but has to be respected, perhaps this is the contradiction of the story itself.
In addition, the film repeatedly appears Lao Cui's special identity, he is a model worker who was personally received by Mao, and Lao Cui and Xiangyang brought this special honor to a small mountain village, and his life became unusual.
Shaking hands with Master Cui has become a great honor for the simple mountain people, in their eyes, Mao Zhu Xi is a deified spiritual worship, and Lao Cui seems to be a transmitter.
In the unit, because of Lao Cui's special status, his life and work have become the most concerned issues for the organization and leadership. The identity of political identity is full of the imprint of the times.
Contrary to Lao Cui, Liu Zhan was sent to a remote mountainous area due to his poor family composition and overseas connections. In the eyes of ordinary people, he seems to be an outlier.
Political identity has become the only criterion for defining people in that era.
As far as Liu Zhan, who is already in a marginal group, is concerned, in the face of morality and "self-preservation", he chose the latter, which is not worth despising, this is the choice that most people from bad backgrounds will make in that era.
In social groups, in some situations, in order to get closer to the mainstream group or the identity of values, people sometimes gradually lose themselves in blind abandonment and choice, and choose to rebel, choose to go against the current, not only need courage, but also have the responsibility to bear the consequences.
In Liu Struggle's heart, there seems to be a lack of courage, or in the face of feelings, morality, ideals, or self-protection, the balance of reason is inclined to the latter, which is Liu Struggle's choice.
The identification of political identity bears traces of Chinese characteristics, and with the reform and opening up, various trends of thought have poured in. The definition of identity and identity seems to be more diverse, and when Liu Zhan stands in front of Chunfen again, it is impossible for Chunfen's heart not to ripple.
The special era has passed, with the economic recovery and China's baptism swept by the wave of globalization, Liu Struggle at this time is no longer the "outlier" that everyone avoids, and the changes of the times have created a change in identity.
At this time, Liu Zhan has become a status symbol recognized by the public under the mainstream ideology. His special political identity has become a capital that can be proud of at this time.
Liu Struggle has changed, but his changes are not something he can lead, full of helplessness and bitterness.
The identification of political identity is a product of Chinese characteristics, and with the progress of society, the passing of special times has been replaced by cultural identity.
Cultural identity reflects a common historical experience and a shared cultural code that provides a stable, unchanging, and continuous framework of referential and meaningful representations for people as "a people" under the vagaries and ups and downs of actual history.
It is not easy to feel so many things from a movie, and Song Zheng only found out something after watching it many times in his previous life.
However, looking at the current Zhang Jingchu, she is obviously enjoying it, and she is really in love with the character of Li Chunfen.
"If you like it, play it well, and then come back with a movie queen, the kind of international A-level!"
Song Zheng remembered that Zhang Jingchu's first international A-level film festival actress was won with the role of Li Chunfen in "Aromatic Journey".
"I hope so!"
Song Zheng was stunned, in his opinion, Zhang Jingchu should not have reacted like this.
Zhang Jing saw that Song Zheng didn't speak for the first time, and said with a smile: "What's wrong? I think I'm weird? Actually, I used to really want to be recognized by others, but now~~~~~~~ I always feel that the things I used to care about are not so important now!"
What does this mean?
Seeing through the red dust?Or are you detached from the words you learned before!?
Just thinking about it, Song Zheng's mobile phone rang, and when he took it out, it was Gao Xiaosong who called.
After talking to Zhang Jingchu, Song Zheng walked out and connected the phone: "Hey, Lao Gao, aren't you recording a show again!?"
"No, it's something else, you wait a minute, let Director Xia follow you!"
Xia Dao?
Who is it!?
"Hey, Mr. Song Zheng?"
"Oh, I am, you're ~~~~~~~"
"I'm Xia Jing of Shonan Radio and Television, and I'm also the producer of "Super Girl"!"
