Chapter 969

Song Zheng just chatted with Li Yang for a few words, and then let Li Yang continue to work, while he found a chair, sat behind Li Yang, and looked at the pictures that appeared in the monitor.

The dim light, the slightly shaky lens, and the numb human face, each brother seems to be beating the heart fiercely.

If "Blind Well" only tore the wound in people's hearts, then Li Yang's current "Blind Mountain" is sprinkling another handful of salt on the torn wound.

Li Yang's "Two Blind" series, Song Zheng has seen it in his previous life, and he is fortunate to star in "Blind Well" in this life, in comparison, Song Zheng obviously likes "Blind Well" more, although "Blind Mountain" is also a rare masterpiece, but this movie did not bring him the excitement of "Blind Well", but it was full of sensory pain and regret.

Song Zheng admits that "Blind Mountain is a good movie", but he doesn't like it, because this movie lacks minimum consideration on many issues, especially for today's society and Chinese people, from the perspective of Chinese people, it has a completely different aesthetic and excitement from Westerners.

Films like "Blind Mountain" can be appreciated by Western audiences, but for Chinese audiences, it is an additional hurt and tenderness.

This film tells a common type of story in Chinese society, where abducted women struggle in a foreign land, resist and give birth, and even sprout on the ground.

But the movie "Blind Mountain" chooses a more extreme way and content, such as for a 22-year-old female college student, and a 40-year-old ugly rural person, such a comparison is unfair at the starting point, such extremes and particulars are indeed easy to make the audience's psychology have huge disgust and sadness.

But in fact, in the real Chinese society, one case, especially such a case, really cannot fully express other facts.

Under the traditional concept of Chinese, giving birth and reproducing offspring is an inevitable choice and process in the course of human life, no matter who it is, it seems to link marriage and sex life with the reproduction of the next generation, so that the reproduction of "species" and the inheritance of blood are a normal state in any world, but for China's agricultural society, such a normal state seems a little special and heavy.

Of course, all this is not a source of legitimacy for the abduction and trafficking of women, but only an important reason for it, and because of the economic differences between China's regions, after sex has become a resource, the backward regions cannot be completely self-sufficient in any way.

In a movie like "Blind Mountain", it is still under the requirements of childbirth and reproduction that women are bought and sold, of course, this time the "women" are very special, which makes people naturally psychologically depressed.

But what is this theme trying to tell people?

Such a fact exists in China, and it is serious?

Song Zheng doesn't see it this way, he thinks that Li Yang deliberately exaggerated a fact artistically this time, as if he tore a hole hard, oozing blood for the audience to see.

But for ordinary audiences, at least for Song Zheng himself, there is a moral absence, that is, he will never encounter such a thing in his life, so he is just watching the suffering and suffering of a person who has nothing to do with him, or who he has a real relationship with, and the sympathy, anger, sadness, and sadness he expresses, The violent tendencies of resistance and so on are all illusory, that is, the particularity of this theme lies in the fact that such things do not necessarily happen to everyone, and lack a resonance in the general era and environment.

In addition, after watching this movie in his previous life, Song Zheng had three incredible, it is incredible how a college student could be abducted and trafficked so easily, is it a bit too ironic for the IQ of college students, or Li Yang thinks that using college students as representatives is more hateful to this kind of incident.

It is inconceivable that in that poor and remote country, there are also worshippers who "money is supreme", they only recognize money, not the law.

What's even more incredible is that the public security organs have to look at the face of the local village chief to save people, is there still the fairness and dignity of the law?

Obviously, there is no, and it is precisely these inconceivies that reflect all kinds of helplessness in the real society, a kind of helplessness and ignorance of the local people who only recognize money and not legal principles, a kind of helplessness about the vicious circle of spiritual poverty brought about by material poverty, and a kind of helplessness that the society lacks investigation and intensity in helping and managing the crime of abduction and trafficking of women and children.

Obviously, in the whole film, the small mountain village with endless majestic mountains covered with lush pines and cypresses in the distance, and a pebble mountain stream with a gurgling stream flowing on the edge of the village, is no longer the beautiful and innocent village that people imagine in their minds, but more like a human purgatory furnace full of ignorance, violence, and deception.

Xuemei's experience is something that all abducted women have experienced, and she is the ideological representative of the entire group of abducted and trafficked women.

It is through the portrayal of the character Xuemei that Li Yang interprets several encounters of abducted women, one is like Xuemei, who has only one belief in her heart, that is, to escape from this mountain village, and the mental training she suffers does not seem to be worse than that of "The Shawshank Redemption".

There is also a kind of Sister Chen like Sister Chen, who wants to escape from the heart is dead, indifferent to the reality of life, thinking that this is the arrangement of fate, and succumbing to the challenge after all.

Abducted women like Xuemei don't have the rights of a normal citizen, they are just an object, an item bought with money, an item just used to have children, no money to spend, no way to enter the city, only facing the vast mountains.

Since it is an item, it can be bought with money, and of course it can be redeemed with money, and there are several episodes in it that are about such descriptions, and in the descriptions again and again, the image of the characters is also changing step by step.

The first time was when Xuemei woke up and found that she had been deceived, and proposed to the other party to leave, the father of the Huang family proposed that as long as he gave them 7,000 yuan, he could let her go.

The second time was when Xuemei was caught stealing love with the cousin of the Huang family, the father of the Huang family proposed two conditions, one of which was to let the cousin take out 7,000 yuan, and the matter was settled.

The third time was when the police came to save people, the Huang family actually said to the police: I bought the people, if you want to take them away, you must first take out the 7,000 yuan, at this time, Song Zheng felt that the three members of the Huang family were ignorant, and they were afraid that others would not know that it was illegal to buy and sell women, and said in front of the police who symbolized the national law enforcement unit, it was really ignorant to the end.

In fact, there are not only the three members of the Huang family, but also the mailman, the director of the village committee, and the whole village.

The problems that can be solved by money in this society are not problems, and when a woman like Xuemei never has money, the body becomes the only way and hope to solve the problem.

In order to escape from this mountain village, Xuemei fantasized about getting along with the cousin of the Huang family, and let the cousin of the Huang family escape with her.

In order to be able to escape from the mountain village by car with money, Xuemei also sold her body to the owner of the commissary.

Russell said that things that are described and perceived are far more powerful than numbers or abstract facts.

"Blind Mountain" gives people the most real perception of the abduction incident through those pictures, and the shock that people are affected is not only the pain of a victim, but also the indifference of the people around them, the ignorance of being an accomplice, and the strength and unconsciousness of the latter are outrageous.

The "majority" here are people from the village, who are accustomed to it, do not think that they are not angry, and they have come up with suggestions one after another, telling the "husband" not to be soft.

When Xuemei escaped, they always worked together, and went to help chase people without saying a word, especially when the police came to rescue, they twisted into a rope, and they stopped and did not let them go, which seemed so affectionate and righteous.

But don't forget, their affection is out of geography, not respect for people, Xuemei's wail is just a symbol for them, they don't feel the pain inside, they only have anger, because they spent money, so people are theirs, people's independence, freedom, dignity they never understand, and don't want to understand, Xuemei in their eyes, is a daughter-in-law of 7,000 yuan, a commodity, a symbol, they are in the hot help, but also experience the joy of teamwork and concerted efforts.

But there is no doubt that they are blind, and in this small mountain village, Xuemei cannot find anyone to trust, and those who seem to be able to help Xuemei, such as the people who collect taxes and fees, are also completely complicit with the villagers, because they understand that in this realm, everyone is a grasshopper tied to a rope.

The charger looked at Xuemei, who patted the window and called for help, said, "This is a family matter, we can't take care of it", turned his head and took the tax of Huang Degui's family, and said that Huang Degui was not shallow, and then added a sentence "The daughter-in-law has to pick up, the same as the charge, and the hard one." ”

There is also the postman, his attitude towards Xuemei, always seems so polite, every time Xuemei writes a letter to the postman, the postman carefully puts it in the mail bag behind the bicycle, Xuemei says thank you, he says no thanks.

The problem is that the postman was just as polite to Huang Degui, he accepted the fat old hen given by Huang Degui, and handed Xuemei's letter to Huang Degui, Huang Degui said that he was bothering you, and he said that it was not easy for you.

Everyone is still happy to gossip, like a whole, how can it be possible to help an outsider, hurt their own harmony, this has become an undoubted, no need to admonish the conscious action, people consciously weave a net, the net makes them inseparable, let outsiders into the net, it is difficult to fly, everyone consciously and voluntarily maintain the net, they feel happy, feel safe, but, no one thought that they were caught in the net, but also an independent personality, living people.

There is a "rebel" here, a cousin of the "husband", a village teacher, white and pure, always showing books to Xuemei, and telling her, I have a common language with you in this village, and I will help you escape.

But what happened later proved that this person was even more contemptible, he was just greedy for Xuemei's beauty, deceived her and lost her body, and ran away after being discovered.

This is the only intellectual in the movie, they were also enlightened by May Fourth back then, after seventy or eighty years, what they can still do is just playing tricks, from the perspective of violating a woman in distress, he is even inferior to most of the villagers, taking advantage of a woman's trust in him, taking advantage of the danger of people, not as good as beasts, when it comes to the real move, but there is nothing he can do, because he is also an inseparable link in the network of local villagers, although he has more conscience than those villagers, and knows that abduction and human trafficking is illegal, but because it is his cousin who buys his wife, his conscience is defeated under the family affection, and he becomes a prisoner of realityAs one of the few people who are not blind, his approach is particularly disappointing, tantamount to rubbing salt in Xuemei's wounds, where the weakness and hypocrisy of intellectuals give the most spicy irony.

Besides, the family that spent 7,000 yuan to buy Bai Xuemei is not fierce, which is particularly thought-provoking in the story.

At the beginning, her husband couldn't even handle Xuemei because of his soft-heartedness, but at this time, the parents and villagers who seemed to be honest came forward.

In a heart-wrenching scene, the "father-in-law and mother-in-law" worked together to press her, tear her clothes, and assist her son in having a round house, and human dignity was completely torn.

But the mother who did all this seemed to be so taciturn and honest, she always persuaded with kind words, "We will be good to you".

She probably always felt that she was very kind, and she didn't treat her badly, nor did she do heavy work, including the husband who often said, "If you buy a money-losing product, you know how to read", but she didn't abuse her, and this woman is so stubborn, it really makes them "kind" people can't understand, this is also blind, and their behavior is no different from hooligans.

This rural society is like a microcosm of the whole social environment, and the people who help and abuse are happy in their blind and hooligan life, and even, sadly, they have always had a sense of moral superiority, but they have not noticed their accomplices, is this a failure of enlightenment, or is it the inferiority of human beings that cannot be eradicated?

Especially the intellectuals who speak eloquently, their cowardice and robbery while the fire is even more despicable, but these are undoubtedly social realities, and they are also worthy of reflection by everyone.

In the end, it was a child who saved Xuemei, and it was the only simple existence, which is undoubtedly even more sad.

Although it shows a trace of child's kindness, it seems insignificant in the insensitivity of these people, and his help to Xuemei does not seem to bring much light to this blind mountain, but just like a plot arrangement in the script.

At the end of the day, this small mountain village and everything it carries is still blind.

Before, when Song Zheng got the script, he asked Li Yang with a smile why he liked the word "blind", and the explanation given by Li Yang meant that the eyes were dead.

It sounds like a joke, but if you taste it carefully, you will find that the word is used very profoundly.

At first, Song Zheng felt that it was more appropriate to interpret it as "the heart is dead", this word can be used in the abduction and trafficking of women in "Blind Mountain" and the murder and fraud in the mine in "Blind Well", indicating that the human heart has died, but looking at the villagers in "Blind Mountain" who are ready to move, dare to fight with the policemen with guns with farm tools, and the moment when the people in "Blind Well" wield coal shovels to kill people, they hesitate again, these people's hearts are not only not dead, but also bloody and alive.

The people in these two things have completely lost their humanity, but their humanity is not bursting with bloody and naked savage vitality.

Look at the leader who came to the village to inspect in the movie, you can know how many civilized people have died, the leader and the village director hahaha, and then admired, the scenery is picturesque. To such a poor and remote place to send this kind of civilization to praise the good leader, I think there is more than one in the movie.

Of course, the noble eyes of these leaders could not see that the cunning villagers in the village had long ago hid their abducted daughters-in-law and children on three wheels and hid them in the mountains, and of course they did not know that the village chief had already warned viciously on the loudspeaker: "If anyone ruins the reputation and image of our village, he will be responsible for all the consequences, and we will never be soft on him." ”

These leaders only know that people are swimming in the painting, so regardless of people's hearts or human nature, Li Yang's explanation is the most accurate, this "blindness" is that the eyes are dead, and the eyes of the villagers and some people in the world are dead.

In general, the film "Blind Mountain" may have problems technically and artistically, such as not organizing the plot more carefully, it looks a little loose and unreliable, and it does not have the depressive atmosphere of "Blind Well", but all kinds of details are too telling and can show Li Yang's heart that is willing to pay attention to some corners of the world.

Therefore, even if Song Zheng doesn't like the story of "Blind Mountain" very much, he knows that this movie will not pass the censorship at all, let alone get a release permit, and the money thrown into it will be wasted nine times out of ten, but Song Zheng is still willing to spend money and let Li Yang make this movie.

"Okay!

A simple shot, Li Yang took more than a dozen shots before he was satisfied, Song Zheng came back to his senses, and looked at Li Yang as if he had gotten a baby, and he was rejoicing alone, his most direct thought at this time was.

Your uncle! This piece must be overspent.

started filming with "Looks Beautiful", and now "Looks Beautiful" has been painted, but Li Yang's "Blind Mountain" is only half of the filming, so it can't be urged, if Song Zheng urges, Li Yang must have a lot of reasons waiting for him!
