Chapter Eighty-Eight: A Good Story

Wang Jinghua left, leaving behind the script called "Balzac and the Little Tailor", and when she left, she left a sentence: If you want to act, I can let you play. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

When Wang Jinghua said this, the contradiction in her expression, Song Zheng could see it really, after receiving a call from Zhou Xun yesterday, Song Zheng specially checked Chen Kun's current resume, if he really wants to talk about it, if he is fighting with Chen Kun now, maybe he can still have the upper hand, but in terms of acting skills, Chen Kun will be praised by the circle in the future as an actor who acts to the devil.

Another point is that Chen Kun is also an actor of Huayi Brothers now, and he is also an artist under Wang Jinghua, and the palms and backs of his hands are full of meat, so Wang Jinghua will be entangled.

asked Wang Jinghua to help him compete for the role, Song Zheng didn't feel how unauthentic he was, and he didn't let Wang Jinghua help him grab the role through improper means, he just wanted a chance to compete fairly.

After dinner, Song Zheng couldn't wait to hold the script and read it, this story is not very long, and the narrative is not complicated, only a very simple line, but it tells a story that does not make people feel simple and pale.

The background of the story is China in the seventies of the last century, which is indeed a sensitive period, educated youth Luo Ming and Ma Jianling are a pair of friends, affected by the family composition, the two had to go to the countryside and come to a small mountain village in Xiangxi to receive re-education for poor middle peasants.

Tired of the poor life in the countryside, the young and vigorous duo spent their days trying to have fun, when they met Four-Eyes, known as the "enemy of the people", and learned that he had secretly collected a large number of forbidden books, including the masterpieces of Föberland, Tolstoy, Hugo, and Balzac. The two were fascinated by Balzac's work and often peeked at novels that were placed in boxes.

At the same time, they meet the daughter of the village tailor, the little tailor, who is beautiful and lovely. The lively and cheerful little tailor brought light to their stagnant life, and their forbidden books also made the little tailor's fantasy world suddenly open up, and slowly the two fell in love with the little tailor at the same time, but the little tailor slowly fell in love with Balzac's works as much as they did, because his book showed the independent temperament and spirit of women, and made the little tailor's fantasy world suddenly open, but just when the fire of their love was getting hotter and hotter, the little tailor told the two that she was going out of the mountains to see the outside world.

This kind of love story between a rural educated youth and a country girl abounds in educated youth novels, and generally speaking, the final ending of this kind of story is usually the elder brother of the educated youth returning to the city and abandoning the country sister and even their children.

But the ending of this story is different, the country sister actually abandoned the educated brother and went to the city alone.

The reason is that the culprit is the old French gentleman Balzac, who has long been ancient, and after watching it twice, Song Zheng finally understood why Balzac and the little tailor, two individuals who are not related, are linked.

The charm of this story lies in this, the unexpected ending reflects people's desire for knowledge in that special era, and the power of knowledge to change fate.

The whole story does not have the scarred mood of most educated youth themes at all, but is full of youthful passion and vitality, which is somewhat similar to "Sunny Days". But it is more in-depth than the latter, not only the restlessness of adolescence, but also the pursuit of knowledge, love and beauty.

Luo Ming once shouted in the story: "I will use these books to change the little tailor, she will no longer be an ignorant mountain man." ”

As a result, the little tailor saw the dawn of his heart from Balzac's novel, fell in love with Balzac's world, and resolutely walked out of the mountain village and changed his fate.

A few years later, Luo Ming already has a new home, a family, a career, and a lot of things that are difficult to give up, and slowly bury the vigorous part of the past.

Many years later, Ma Jianling was engaged in his favorite music, perhaps every note was an expression of his longing for the old man, and he could not let go of that relationship, but the flood sealed the story between her and them in the end.

"Actually, we both love her, it's just that we both love her in different ways. ”

In the face of love, Luo Ming was brave, Ma Jianling was subtle, Luo Ming's bold love gave the little tailor an emotional adventure, Ma Jianling waited silently, and gave the little tailor a warm spring breeze. In the story, during the period of time when Luo Ming left, Ma Jianling was always taking care of the little tailor silently and selflessly, even if he knew that the little tailor's favorite was Luo Ming, this kind of spirit was really rare and worthy of admiration!

In fact, born in a more traditional and conservative era, the curiosity of the three protagonists about new things, as well as the spirit of daring to explore and pursue, are thought-provoking, as well as their pure love and friendship, how rare and precious it is for people today.

There are several passages in the script, Song Zheng couldn't help but feel touched when he read it, the first is that Luo Ming and Ma Jianling read Balzac's novel for the first time, read it all night, and when they got up in the morning, they said, "The world has completely changed in my eyes."

Of course, everyone knows that it is not the world that has changed, but the people who see the world, but in the whole story, the two educated youths do not seem to have changed at all, and even Ma Jianling later went to collect music and make music, it is difficult for people to judge whether it is his hobby or influenced by the novel.

Another is that two educated youths were sent to see a movie, and then went back to the village to talk about the movie, they looked like a "Flower Girl", but when they came back, they talked about a French novel. In that culturally barren era, the people in this small village got far more cultural enjoyment than people from the outside world, but that's all, the movie content has not changed in the lives of the villagers after leaving the storytelling field of the two educated youths.

The best part of the story is the little tailor, a beautiful girl in the mountains, who was originally illiterate, but under the influence of the novel she heard, she left the mountain village, and about her whereabouts, the screenwriter cleverly disrupted the narrative order and gave a wonderful suspense.

Of course, there are many flaws in this story that are very abrupt in Song Zheng's view, first of all, the author is too petty bourgeois, and the description of the whole story seems to be at a loss, at a loss, and finally only indulges in the memories of his youth.

Moreover, that kind of addiction to memories makes the second half of the movie very unreliable, after leaving the village for many years, when the village is about to be flooded because of the dam construction, he begins to miss this small mountain village again, and runs back to the mountain village that is about to be flooded to be nostalgic.

Here, the author seems to have completely disregarded the authenticity of the story, and actually let a village that was completely illiterate more than ten years ago have the tradition of putting paper lamps in the waterhole, and what nonsense is there to write thoughts on the paper lanterns.

In fact, the author's meaning is obvious, the dam that symbolizes modernization flooded the village that represents tradition, so that people in the future will never see those krathong again.

It's just that the Krathong are entirely the author's imagination, and he forgets the ignorance and suffering there as soon as he leaves the mountain village where he suffers, and the Krathong only proves the selfishness and stupidity of the cultural relativists.

Although there are these flaws that can be called hard injuries, I have to say that this is still a good story, especially in the first half of the story, the love between the two educated youths and the little tailor is described very delicately and profoundly, so that Song Zheng can't help but be attracted by the tasks in the story.

In the story, there is not only sweet and bitter love, but also many strangers who break into a strange environment, with a bitter mentality, deduce good-natured jokes, such as the educated youths in order to please the village chief, renamed Mozart's sonata "Mozart Misses Mao, Lord, Xi", such as the educated youths telling movies to the villagers, leading the villagers to chant the name of the protagonist in Balzac's novel, so that Song Zheng watched it, and couldn't help laughing.

Song Zheng read it over and over again, read the script, and read the original novel brought by Wang Jinghua again, but he still couldn't get enough, he always felt that the author wanted to tell more than that.

"I'm not sleeping yet!" Lin Xinru walked over, sat beside Song Zheng, leaned on his arms, and looked at the script in his hand, "Balzac and the little tailor, what a strange name!"

Song Zheng smiled, in fact, when he saw it for the first time, he also felt strange what stories a great French writer and a little tailor could come up with, but after reading it, he only felt very profound, and even had the urge to find all of Balzac's works and read them again, to see what those books were about, so that a young tailor in the mountains who was originally naïve and ignorant could bravely go out of the mountains to find his new life.

"Do you like this story?"

Song Zheng nodded.

"Want to act?"

Song Zheng still nodded.

"If you can act, is the heroine ~~~~~~~~~ Zhouxun?"

Song Zheng was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Lin Xinru, but Lin Xinru's eyes were evading, as if he was hiding some special emotions.

Song Zheng looked at it and suddenly smiled: "So you still remember!"

Lin Xinru sat up straight, the feeling of being seen through by others made her a little flustered, and she stood up and wanted to leave, but was pulled back by Song Zheng and fell directly into his arms.

Song Zheng just leaned over and looked at her, not saying a word, just laughing, that kind of laughter made Lin Xinru feel very hateful, with a little bit of abuse.

"I'm ~~~~~~~~~~~ jealous!" Lin Xinru finished speaking, her face turned red, and the red was extremely attractive.
