Text: Chapter 780

"The Piano of Steel", the original director is Zhang Meng, it is said that he has been preparing for this drama for a long time, how long it is, Song Zheng doesn't know, but now this drama obviously has nothing to do with Zhang Meng.

's adaptation rights are in the hands of 1+1 company, and when Wang Jinghua handed over this book to Song Zheng, he didn't even think about it, so he directly ordered Zhang Yuan's general.

Zhang Yuan originally planned to take a break this year, of course, he was not disheartened or anything because of the box office fiasco of "Looks Beautiful", for this fat man with bubble noodles, it is not a new thing for the movie to have no box office, he doesn't go to his heart at all, he just wants to rest.

It's just that after getting the script of "The Piano of Steel" that Song Zheng had already adapted, his heart felt as if he had been scratched, and he only hesitated for less than a minute to take the job, and he didn't use Song Zheng's suggestion, so he directly ordered Wang Qianyuan and asked him to be the actor of this play.

Song Zheng naturally has no opinion on this, he also wants to see if this drama is released in advance, can Wang Qianyuan still get the Tokyo actor as he wishes.

In addition to the work assigned by his family, 1+1 Company also invested in two other films through Wang Jinghua's relationship, one of which is Gu Changwei's new work "Lichun".

Song Zheng was very impressed by "Lichun", mainly because when this drama was filmed in Baotou in his previous life, he had made scene notes in the crew, and later he was fortunate to watch the uncut version.

The whole story may seem very dull to the average person, but the so-called art film is like this, there are no college paragraphs, no gunfights, flying cars, everything is smoothly advancing in a zigzag line.

Song Zheng probably participated in the filming work, so he was much more interested in this drama and felt a lot of feelings.

The most impressive, of course, is the opera-obsessed middle school teacher Wang Cailing, Jiang Wenli gained 30 pounds for this role, and what is presented in the movie is completely a county woman with a bloated body and dark spots, she said that she wants to be the principal of the Central Opera House and go to the Paris Opera House to sing opera, and she is naturally the female number one in the whole play.

The entire story of "Lichun" is connected around Wang Cailing's life trajectory, so you can always see the enchanting figure of an artistic dancer flashing around Wang Cailing.

Of course, the most profound impact on Wang Cailing's life is Huang Sibao, a worker in the steel mill, Huang Sibao is self-taught, and is quite talented in art, but his mother is extremely dissatisfied with these inappropriate things he paints all day long.

At the beginning of the film, there was a scene of Huang Sibao's mother angrily smashing Huang Sibao's studio, and it didn't take long for Huang Sibao to find Wang Cailing under the prodding of his friend Zhou Yu, hoping that the latter could help him study in Beijing.

The next plot is not difficult to guess, Huang Sibao entered Wang Cailing's eyes, but the fate of the two of them is not the old moon, but the chaotic mandarin duck spectrum of the art dancer, after this kind of thing happens, it is generally women who suffer, of course, from the standpoint of feminists, it doesn't matter whether the same thing between men and women is "suffering" or not.

The scene of Wang Cailing stripping off her clothes and working as a mannequin for Huang Sibao is the most daring part of the film, but this is not a new and hot thing for Chinese audiences who are used to seeing men and women, but the birth of the public security joint defense team makes people feel shocked.

A public people's teacher and a state-owned factory worker, in sociological terms, are both "unit people" rather than "social people".

And both of them are middle- and lower-level workers who do not do their jobs, and they hardly have any resources in their hands, and no one will even think of them if they are corrupt, so it is said that the two of them should be inferior to the unit in exchange for their own living space, but the posture of the art dancer is too tempting, and the two of them do not do it, and they actually catch the train to Yanjing.

Wang Cailing is obviously a little "evil", and getting along with Huang Shuai guy day and night has already made her feel secretly emotional, but the honesty on the train poured a basin of cold water on her head.

Wang Cailing actually raised a serious question on the train: Does love have nothing to do with appearance?

Or to put it more metaphysically: does a purely spiritual quest exist?

Wang Cailing herself generously admitted her "non-sensitive thoughts" about Huang Sibao, and she bluntly pointed out that Huang Sibao's refusal was just because her appearance was not beautiful enough.

Although Huang Sibao flatly denied this, it is estimated that he actually agrees with Wang Cailing's statement in his heart, but this problem is not only with Huang Sibao, but also with Wang Cailing.

Wang Cailing has always lived in her own dreams, and "art" is nothing more than a hidden eye and a desire for recognition from others, and more directly, this is vanity.

When watching this movie, Song Zheng didn't think that characters like Huang and Wang had any lofty "artistic" ideals, what Wang Cailing was pursuing was to sing in the spotlight, and she even sewed a dazzling performance costume for herself, even when she jumped off the building after being abandoned by Huang Sibao, she wore this performance costume, and at the same time, Wang Cailing persevered to go to Yanjing to apply for the art group, and fabricated her own network in front of others.

Obviously, Wang Cailing actually hates her hometown in her bones, she has always unrealistically fantasized that she can leave here in some glorious way, and she can't deny Wang Cailing's singing talent, and the chronic illness of the system has stifled a genius like her to a large extent. But if Wang Cailing simply loves the "art" of opera, then she should sing with peace of mind and well, or cultivate a few outstanding rising stars, why do you have to think about soaring to the sky?

When the Shaolin Temple was besieged in "Dragon Babu", the old abbot asked Xuzhu to go out to find out, and Xuzhu replied that there were a sea of people, but the old abbot said that he only saw two people, "one is famous, and the other is profit."

Honestly!

What Wang Cailing has in mind is nothing more than fame and fortune.

True, unreceiving, unconditional love for "art" does not need to go to Yanjing, does not need to go to the Paris Opera, or even needs to be recognized by others, as long as you enjoy yourself, hum a few words when you have nothing to do, even if you howl in the dead of night, as long as you don't scare the flowers and plants, what does it matter?

If "art" is a temple in a person's heart, it has nothing to do with others, because this is a piece of heaven and earth in a person's heart, and there is no need for others to put their beaks.

However, "artist" artists are often arrogant and desperate for the approval of others, knowing that people can be lawless when they are alone, and they must follow the rules of the game when they live in groups.

Huang Sibao, who paints, wants to be admitted to the Central Academy of Fine Arts, and Wang Cailing, who sings, wants to get a Yanjing hukou, all of which want to achieve their own goals through social recognition, not only to be recognized by others, but also to play according to the rules of the game.

Of course, Song Zheng does not deny that real artists will not tolerate the present world, and Van Gogh, who is repeatedly mentioned in the film, is an excellent example.

But the problem is that if you just pursue to be a pure artist like Van Gogh, then you can quietly engage in "art" creation, whether the work is good or not, there will be comments from future generations after a hundred years, so Huang Sibao and Wang Cailing are actually very different from Van Gogh from the depths of their thoughts.

When it comes to "art", people often oppose "secular", as if the secular has some kind of original sin, and many people who engage in "art" appear in literary and artistic works with such an image.

Hu Jinquan in "Lichun" is a prominent performance, Hu Jinquan is intoxicated with dancing, jumping up and toes light, graceful, but unfortunately such a small place can not accommodate such an "elegant" "art", Hu Jinquan has no one to applaud, depressed, so he has to devote himself to the work of teaching dance to female workers in the textile factory, in order to make up for the spiritual and material emptiness.

However, "Lichun" played a trick on the shaping of Mr. Hu's image, and it seemed that "art" had put an infinite burden on Hu Jinquan, but in fact, it was because Hu Jinquan's unique gender characteristics made him intolerant of the world.

The chairman of the trade union returned from a trip to Thailand, praised Mr. Hu's dancing posture is better than that of Thailand, everyone knows that he is comparing Hu with a demon, Hu Jinquan took the old mother to the park to play, and was reprimanded by the husband of the female worker as a "second pancreas", so that the old mother could not raise her head in front of people.

Hu Jinquan, who was overwhelmed, finally found Wang Cailing as a life-saving straw, hoping to save unfavorable public opinion through fake marriage, Wang Cailing rejected him as a matter of course, but Hu Jinquan thought of a "clever trick", he forcibly molested female employees in the men's toilet, although he was imprisoned for this, but he justified his "male" identity.

Speaking of which, Hu Jinquan is somewhat similar to Cheng Dieyi in "Farewell My Concubine", however, Hu Jinquan is not Cheng Dieyi after all, Cheng Dieyi has believed in the artistic concept of "no crazy devil will not survive" all his life, which is also his life creed, and finally wore a costume and drew a sword to kill himself, and finally achieved the great sublimation and great nirvana of art and life in one.

But Hu Jinquan couldn't bear the gossip outside, Song Zheng wondered why Hu Jinquan didn't leave the city, compared with Wang Cailing and Huang Sibao, Hu Jinquan should be the most eager to leave.

The so-called "art" of dance is nothing more than a veil of glory over Hu Jinquan, Hu Jinquan's distorted life is actually caused by his gender orientation that cannot be tolerated by the world, and has nothing to do with his dancing.

If you really want to love dance with all your heart, isn't there no way out, and if you have a "perfect" person, you will change your sex? After becoming a woman, she not only flourished in art, but also adopted children, and her family life was also delicious.

Therefore, Hu Jinquan is a coward, he used the violation of an innocent woman to meet his purpose, when Wang Cailing went to visit the prison, Gu Changwei also tried his best to sensationalize in this paragraph, but when Song Zheng watched the sample film, he still despised Hu Jinquan's behavior, don't be forgiven because you know how to point to "art", peel off the skin of "art", in fact, it is a vulgar person, vulgar, vulgar!

A confession in court of "Farewell My Concubine": "There is a man named Aoki, he knows opera, if Aoki lives, Peking Opera will spread to Japan." ”

In the environment at that time, Cheng Dieyi was able to say this, which can be called deafening, compared with Hu Jinquan, and made a judgment!

Therefore, the "art" in "The Beginning of Spring" is more like some kind of mental anesthetic, or rather, it is a bubble fantasy conjured up by people after being extremely disappointed with reality.

Wang Cailing singing, Huang Sibao painting, and Hu Jinquan dancing are all pursuing other people's recognition of themselves, and they are also just for themselves to one day be able to bake and point fingers in front of others.

Huang Sibao later degenerated into a marriage trust and lived by swagger; Hu Jinquan abandoned his old mother and hid in prison to seek spiritual relief; Wang Cailing only went home to accompany her parents on Chinese New Year's Eve for a year.

In comparison, it is not as admirable as Gao Beibei, who deceived Wang Cailing's feelings.

Gao Beibei was radiant as soon as he appeared, and begged Wang Cailing to accept him as a disciple with the lie of terminal cancer and his death, and relied on Wang Cailing's careful cultivation and dredging, and finally became a blockbuster in the game.

However, Gao Beibei, who succeeded in the future, also found out in conscience that Wang Cailing could not accept such a serious blow to Wang Cailing, and fled back to her hometown in a panic.

To be honest, this plot is a bit illogical, Gao Beibei's appearance and winning the award are a little inexplicable, the background of Wang Cailing in the film is explained in advance, in Song Zheng's opinion, it seems that no one is trying to deceive her, and a pretending Gao Beibei's mother gets along with the two all day long, which is even more unconvincing.

However, judging from the personality of the characters, Gao Beibei is a highlight in "Lichun", she is not as frivolous as Huang Sibao, not as cowardly as Hu Jinquan, and not as vain as Wang Cailing.

If you look at it from a teleological standpoint, Gao Beibei's approach is quite affirmative, of course, morally Gao Beibei deceived Wang Cailing, this must be clear.

But this kind of deception can still be classified as "well-intentioned deception", Gao Beibei himself finally confessed, and there is a terminally ill boyfriend behind him as a secret, it is not incomprehensible.

Gao Beibei said that in this era, you can't become famous without some extraordinary means, this is the truth, if you want to be recognized by the secular society, you must play according to the rules in a down-to-earth manner, and if you don't succeed, you will complain about the impetuousness of the society, saying that no one knows how to appreciate the real "art" you are engaged in, that is nonsense, completely meaningless.

Gao Beibei's body can see the figure of young people who are eager for the talent show, but Gao Beibei is always down-to-earth, on the one hand, she has set a goal for herself that is not unattainable, compared to her, Huang Sibao is purely ambitious, on the other hand, she carefully planned the means of implementation, and step by step steadily, and finally achieved success.

This is a successful example of realizing personal ideals, ideals, must be reconciled with reality to be meaningful, absolute, not contaminated with the reality of the ideal is not an ideal, but a fantasy, ideal, must climb into the bed of reality, in order to give birth to a successful child.

It was not so much that Gao Beibei shattered Wang Cailing's fantasy bubble, but that Gao Beibei woke up the confused Wang Cailing.

In the next plot, Wang Cailing quickly compromised with reality with lightning speed, she first went to the marriage agency to find a partner, and after the attempt, she couldn't wait to run to the welfare home to adopt a daughter, and then met the daughter and goddaughter, and was happy.

This ending further exposes Wang Cailing's hypocritical painting skin, the real love of opera "art" is actually not in conflict with secular life, if you like to sing, you can sing like adopting a child, why do you have to create a situation where singing opera is incompatible with life?

Of course, Wang Cailing herself is gradually aware of this character flaw of herself, when her neighbor, the only teacher Xiao Zhang in the film who has nothing to do with "art", came to cry to her about her heartless and unrighteous husband, Wang Cailing clearly pointed out Xiao Zhang's vanity, because Wang Cailing was worse than Xiao Zhang, Xiao Zhang would come to her, but this also confirmed Wang Cailing's introspection from another side.

The role of Zhou Yu became important, this friend of Huang Sibao, who is obsessed with reciting art, may be the only man in the film who has really loved Wang Cailing, but the arrogant Wang Cailing has never paid attention to him at all, and even rejected Zhou Yu with the words "I'd rather taste a bite of fresh peaches than eat a basket of rotten apricots".

Time has passed, when Wang Cailing went to the hospital with her adopted daughter for treatment, she met Zhou Yu who also came with her child in her arms. To be honest, it can be seen that Zhou Yu still misses Wang Cailing, but Wang Cailing seems to have no intention of mentioning that past again, she almost ran away with her daughter in her arms.

Wang Cailing finally took her adopted daughter to Tian'anmen Square to play, and in her fantasy, she also put on a dazzling performance costume and led the way on the stage of the Central Opera House.

The movie ends here, and this is no longer just a movie, but more like a bubble ideal that has not been reconciled with reality.

Gu Changwei has also been preparing for this movie for a long time, and "Peacock", which was released before this movie, is more like an experimental drama he created for "Lichun", in order to completely explode in the play "Lichun".

When Song Zheng heard Wang Jinghua say that Gu Changwei was looking for an investor for this movie, he immediately contacted Gu Changwei, and they still had some friendship.

Gu Changwei is naturally happy to be able to find an investor, don't look at the fact that he already has a lot of prestige in the circle, the previous "Peacock" has won many awards around the world, but similar to this kind of art film, it is actually very difficult to ask people to take the initiative to dig out their pockets, especially in the whole play, there is not even an eye-catching actor, Jiang Wenli still has charm, but it is a pity that she has to deliberately pretend to be ugly in the play.

However, Gu Changwei was also a little hesitant, what made him hesitate was that Song Zheng was also a director, and he was also a director who was younger than him but had more dazzling results than him, what if Song Zheng pointed fingers at his script?

In order to dispel Gu Changwei's concerns, Song Zheng directly put down a sentence: No matter how you toss, I won't follow it!
