It seemed like an impossible task to shoot a movie in ten days, but Li Yang had to accept it, because all this was caused by his audacity, and ten days was indeed the longest time Song Zheng had left him. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

After Song Zheng decided to play the male protagonist Song Jinming, he deliberately found the original novel, before he always thought that "Blind Well" was Li Yang's original script, and at this time, he knew that Dare Love was also adapted from the novel.

"Shenmu", the movie "Blind Well" was born from this short novel, the original novel, the main story, is also two people who specialize in making money and killing people for a living, by luring migrant workers to work in the coal mine, and killing the deceived people in the dark mine, so as to make money.

However, both in terms of story structure and character design, there are many differences between the movie and the original.

In addition to the addition of characters and plots, perhaps the biggest change is the treatment of the ending, the ending of the original novel is the "happy reunion" ending followed in traditional Chinese novels: Song Jinming finally found his conscience and decided to kill Tang Chaoyang and commit suicide. Before committing suicide, Song Jinming also confessed to Yuan Fengming that he had killed his father. Later, the mine owner compensated Yuan Fengming for the compensation of his dead "uncle", and Yuan Fengming returned the money because he felt that he should not take it.

However, in the adaptation of the movie, the ending is ambiguous, Yuan Fengming accepted the compensation and continued to move forward in life blankly.

Li Yang seems to want to deliberately guide the audience to discover the invisible social truth behind those visible stories in this way.

Watching "Blind Well" in his last life, Song Zheng felt depressed, but now that he has read the original novel, looking back and recalling the plots of the original "Blind Well" in his memory, Song Zheng feels that he almost held back his depression.

The ashes were flushed into the toilet bowl like dumped residues, the urn was thrown on the garbage heap on the side of the road, and the mine manager roared with confidence, "China lacks everything, but there is no shortage of people!"

It turns out that the word "grass and human life" and daily life can also be so without any sense of disobedience.

People have always said that the law of the jungle is the law of the jungle and the law of nature, but human society actually has its own survival system, that is, the weak bully the weaker.

What I have always seen is how the mine manager makes black money, and does not take absenteeism as a person, but human nature is always more pathetic, in the novel, the script repeatedly appears a sentence "I sympathize with him, who sympathizes with me?"

So, sorry brother, it seems natural for the weaker to contribute their lives to the survival of the weak.

With such survival logic, the two wicked people in the story have no guilt in their hearts, and they rely on other people's lives to support themselves.

As the saying goes, when a person struggles with survival every day, the constraints of the law are no longer the minimum norms, and the dark side of human nature makes survival often a cover for greed.

In his last life, after Song Zheng watched "Blind Well", what he could consider was not profound, but it was very real, only thinking from a simple aspect, from an individual point of view, poverty does not mean that he can take care of people's lives.

You are poor, your children can't pay the tuition, those miners under the mine are not like this, poor does not mean that you can ignore human nature, you have hands and feet, you can make money with hard work, why kill people, in the final analysis, it is because of fear of hard work, because killing people to get pension money quickly, this is the inferior nature of human nature.

Even if they are no longer the lower class working people and live a good life, they will be opportunistic, do not want to work seriously, just want to spend the least effort, take more money, and even if they have money, they will do whatever it takes to make more money.

This society is never fair, everyone has their own suffering, but you can't impose your own suffering on others in exchange for your own happiness. It is not easy for everyone to live in the world, some people you think are glamorous in life, but in places you can't see, there may also be great suffering that no one knows, and in order to seek benefits, there must always be a moral bottom line.

Therefore, after watching this movie in his previous life, Song Zheng felt very twisted for a long time, and he couldn't get around many bends in his mind.

Speaking of which, Song Zheng doesn't like movies with this kind of theme, it's too depressing, and it makes people feel dark inside, but after watching it, he can't forget that Yuan Fengming is wearing an earthy blue school uniform, his face is covered with mud, and he is carrying a burden that seems to be heavier than his thin body, turned around, and smiled helplessly, stupidly and sadly at the camera.

Song Zheng thinks that he is a person with a clear love and hate and a strong sense of right and wrong, however, after watching the film, he hesitated, as a traditional Chinese who is used to labeling everyone as a "good person" or "bad person", facing Tang Chaoyang, facing Song Jinming, facing Yuan Fengming, and even facing the prostitute Female Xiaohong, he raised his hand holding the label high, and for the first time felt so deeply and trembled.

Is Song Jinming a bad guy?

Yes, definitely!

Can make a living by this kind of unconscionable means of pretending to be a relative, taking people into a small coal kiln to work, and then killing the other party, and then blackmailing the mine owner with a sum of money as a "relative", who is he not a bad person?

What's even more odious is that he used his cleverness, and even had to pay more than 2,000 yuan to his accomplice Tang Chaoyang.

However, Song Zheng really can't "hate" such a "bad guy", if you ask him about his favorite character in "Blind Well", he may not hesitate to answer: Song Jinming!

The value of Song Jinming lies in the fact that he is a real "person", he has not been "artistically sublimated" and "abstractly generalized" by traditional film and television theories, and he is not a label or a face in the model drama. Interestingly, it is on top of such a sinful life that the brilliance of human nature shines to the extreme.

He is smarter than Tang Chaoyang, and he is even smarter than Yuan Fengming, not because he can shake his wit and play tricks, but because he is a thoughtful person, and he has his own value system, which may seem stupid and retarded to people.

Before he killed someone, he wanted to let the "bitter master" receive a month's salary, and he wanted to give the "bitter master" a good meal as a "send-off wine".

On the other hand, he is full of warmth for his wife in his hometown, and for his son, like all fathers, he pins his infinite hopes on his life, and also hopes that his son will study well, take the right path, go to university, and have a career.

For the begging high school students, he is also at the bottom of the social ladder and generously helps.

Is this the so-called "thief has a way"?

Faced with such a character as Song Jinming, Song Zheng could only smile bitterly: This killer is not too cold!

Even, Song Zheng sympathized with him, if it weren't for some irresistible force that pushed Song Jinming's humanity into the blind well of no return, he would have been a good husband, a good father, and a good person.

Does Tang Chaoyang have to be a bad guy?

He seems to be more shameless, cold-blooded, more frustrated, and more inhumane than Song Jinming.

However, he is such a devilish character, and he is reluctant to call home for a few cents, just to send even one more phone call to his family.

It is often said that the poor must have something to hate, but in fact, how can a hateful person not have pity?

"You pity him, who pities you?"

This is Tang Chaoyang's bloody indictment of human nature, how many times has he experienced a desire for compassion and sympathy and finally failed to make an originally normal heart lose all its confidence and hope in the whole society?

In the face of begging middle school students, the indifferent sentence "fake, definitely fake", this is the ice and snow of human nature, Song Zheng doesn't know how many times a person has to be deceived before he gives up all his trust in the world, but he knows that the ruthless reality has made Tang Chaoyang do it.

Similarly, when you see the prostitute Xiaohong sending home the money from selling her body, do you still think she is a "bad person"?

A weak female streamer, even more miserable than migrant workers, she will not even have the opportunity to enter that blind well, she is just a branch of dust at the mercy of fate, and at the same time by the sympathy of Western human rights and the condemnation of the traditional Chinese concept of chastity, sadly, neither of these two means to her.

In the movie, when Yuan Fengming picked up the "net worth" of Tang and Song and left, who really had the confidence to answer, will Yuan Fengming always be a good person in the future?

Won't Yuan Fengming become the second Tang Chaoyang and the second Song Jinming?

When Yuan Fengming's body rushed out of the blind well, his humanity was entering a blind well, and how to struggle and whether to get rid of it all depended on his own creation.

While condemning the humanity of others for falling into the blind well, have people ever thought about what the black hands that pushed them into the well are and where are they?

In the face of the indifference, mercenary, and disparity between the rich and the poor in the whole environment, all the struggles of human nature are bound to be painful and doomed to be pale and powerless.

Song Zheng only knew that this would be a good movie, but he never thought that he could read so many things about human nature and the current situation of society from such a movie.

He now suddenly understands why Li Yang carried him behind his back and took the crew to the black coal kiln for filming, in the depths of the regular state-owned coal mine, there are no souls that have been buried and have never been able to rest in peace.

And "Blind Well" is indeed a good movie worth risking your life to make.

Song Zheng spent half a day reading the novel, and then lay on the wooden bed, recalling the plots and scenes he had seen in his previous life over and over again.

The memory that should have been blurred for a long time suddenly became so clear, every shot, every dialogue, even every look of the character, and the subtle changes in emotions seemed to be imprinted in his mind, playing over and over again.

The next day, when Song Zheng came out, he only said one sentence to Li Yang: "Start shooting!"
