Verse 18: Here's a Movie (Part I)

Compared to the laid-back city of Nanyang, where you can't help but want to take a nap on a summer afternoon, life in Shanghai's cosmopolitan metropolis is undoubtedly much faster.

Sitting in a taxi, looking out the window, you can see many pedestrians on the side of the street hurrying with briefcases in their hands, as if they are participating in a racing race. And the guy in a suit and a shoulder bag, seeing that the bus not far away was about to leave, he hurriedly took steps and sprinted, and his tie fluttered in the wind.

Nervous, fast and orderly, this is Duane's impression of the city.

Sitting next to Duane was Shu Yu, the two of them had just returned to the hotel to get the copy, and were rushing to the Daguang Cinema.

"That's right,"

Duane suddenly remembered something.

He withdrew his gaze from the outside and looked at Shu Yu with some uncertainty, "Do you have the right to screen?"

After all, it was the first time to make a film and the first time to participate in a film festival, and he didn't remember it until now.

Thinking of Shu Yu's relationship with several bigwigs in the company being so stiff, a bad premonition flashed in his heart.

"Nope. ”

Really!

Duane sighed in his heart, looked at the box containing copies in Shu Yu's hand, and didn't know what to say.

"If you come to the film festival without the right to screen, the loss is that it doesn't progress, but if it does...... Why don't we go back? You don't have the right to show it, and if we release it there without permission...... he doesn't dare to think about the consequences. As he spoke, he didn't wait for Shu Yu to speak, so he said to the driver, "Master, turn around." ”

Shu Yu interrupted him and said to the driver, "Master, keep driving." Then he said to Duane: "You don't know what is going on here, don't worry, it'll be fine." Even if there is something, I will carry it. ”

Duane looked at this woman and didn't know what to say: he thought that he had made a false certificate to cheat the investment, which was already bold, but the woman in front of him didn't even have the right to screen and took a copy to participate in the film festival, which was not inferior!

Well, two guys who are not afraid of big things have gotten together, no wonder they can become comrades-in-arms.

"No, we still have to go back," Duane shook his head firmly, "it's not a question of who will carry it." ”

After spending so much time together, he recognized Shu Yu as a friend, and naturally he couldn't watch his friend have an accident at this time.

Shu Yu looked at Du An for a long time before saying, "Don't worry, I'll be fine." After a pause, she seemed to understand that if she didn't explain something, Duane would not agree to the screening, so she had to say, "They won't pursue it." Ruixing Film and Television is a family business, you are studying management, you should also know that the family business is a patriarchal system, and many times it is human favor that overrides the system, so I will not be held legally responsible, at most I will be demoted and reduced salary, which is no different from the situation I am about to face. ”

Ruixing Film and Television is a family business, and Du An's already knew some from the crew during the filming of the film, including several managers of Ruixing, such as Fang Limin, the manager of the production department, and Fang Liyong, the manager of the distribution department, all of whom are the sons of Chairman Fang Yi.

Du An listened to Shu Yu's words, and felt that he had vaguely guessed something, but he was not sure, so he asked, "...... you mean?"

Seeing that this person still didn't understand, Shu Yu pursed his lips, and finally said, "Chairman Fang Yi, it's me...... Father. ”

The word father was small and indistinct, but Duane heard it.

He felt his head hurt.

A daughter who doesn't follow her father's surname - probably an illegitimate daughter - two older brothers who suppress her sister everywhere, plus Shu Yu said before that she came from a small county town and wants to "take root", now that I think about it, this "rooting" is obviously not enough to simply be a decent city person......

No wonder Shu Yu has so many enemies in the company, and they are all executive-level, but he can still do it in the company.

Du An never thought that such a thing as a wealthy family would happen to him, if it were an eight-o'clock TV series, Shu Yu, who was sitting next to him now, would be a tear-jerking heroine - but Du An had never seen such a heroine.

Shouldn't the similar heroines in the TV series be as pitiful and kind-hearted as the White Lotus, and if nothing happens, Xizi will hold her heart and say with a sad look in her eyes, "If you are well, it will be a sunny day", waiting for the male protagonist to save her at any time? Which one is as strong as Shu Yu?

It can be seen that TV is all deceitful, after all, even a strange woman like Shu Yu who is self-improving, bold, and can use the toilet is forced to be cornered in this environment, if there is really that kind of heroine like a white lotus, I am afraid that she will be eaten to the point that there is not a single bone left.

"Even if they want to use the topic to play, Fang Yi will not agree. That person is very traditional and thinks that the ugliness of the family is not publicized. ”

directly shouted "Fang Yi" and "that person", instead of Dad, it seems that the father and daughter have a deep grudge.

Duane didn't want to get involved in other people's family affairs, so he didn't express his opinion, just nodded, signaled that he understood, and no longer held on to the screening rights.

The taxi drove and soon came to the Great Light Cinema.

The white blonde man, Anthony Berg, was still tirelessly recommending his film to passers-by when Duane arrived with a copy box, but it didn't work out and there were still few audiences.

"Anthony,"

Shu Yu greeted him and then chatted.

Anthony's movie is almost over, and after ten minutes of waiting, the movie is over.

As agreed, Anthony began to play their Saw horror.

This is the second time Du ane has watched his own movie from the screen, and it is also the first time that his film has been screened in public, just seeing this scene of Zhu Yuchen waking up from the bathtub made him look in a trance, subconsciously looked around, and then smiled bitterly.

Except for him, Shu Yu, and Anthony, there was no one in the audience - the few who had been in the audience before left after Anthony's film was shown.

"Oh!

The layman looks at the excitement, the insider looks at the doorway, Anthony, a movie lover, is at least a semi-professional, and when he saw the first shot, his eyes lit up, sighed lightly, and then frowned.

"Du, what is that glittering object? Is it a symbol? Or is it a plot? I guess it must have a special meaning. ”

Duane smiled and was about to say when Anthony waved his hand again, "No, no, no, don't say, it won't do me any good to know too much." After that, he stared at the screen and continued to watch.

Only Anthony is seriously watching the movie, and Duane and Shu Yu's minds are not on this - they are all waiting to see how many viewers there will be.

But the reality is brutal.

The film was shown for three minutes, and there was still no audience, and the passers-by all looked up and passed by in a hurry, and none of them stopped for this.

"Accept it. ”

Duane said this to Shu Yu helplessly.

He understood Shu Yu's thoughts, and knew that she was a little unwilling, so she would have a "funeral", but the facts told them that this movie didn't even have the ability to attract an audience, so it was natural that she didn't make it to the film festival.

Shu Yu was silent, just clasped his hands around his chest and stood proudly.

Duane shook his head and was about to look for a place to rest for a while, when he heard a voice behind him.

"There's a movie here...... Hey, isn't that who's who? He played "Doctor Pamir" on the City Channel a while ago, and he also started acting in movies?"

Duane was slightly stunned, and quietly leaned sideways, and saw two fashionably dressed girls standing behind him on his right, with handbags on their arms, looking at the screen.

Du An's look at the screen, on which it was Zhang Jiayi, who played Jiang Wei, in a monologue, and recalled Zhang Jiayi's words during the interview: "I have filmed two TV series...... It's called "Doctor Pamir" ......"

"I like him a lot, I think he's a good man, different from the boys around me. ”

The girl who spoke up at the beginning was chattering in the back, raised her wrist and looked at her watch, and said to her companion, "Anyway, the movie will start for a while, so let's watch it for a while, right?"

The other girl was noncommittal, so the two of them stood there and watched.

Just one step in front of the two of them, Duane could hear a whisper between them: "...... I heard that Arwen confessed to you yesterday?...... If you want me to say don't hang him, it's been a few months......" "Oh, you don't understand...... You can't let men succeed lightly, or they won't cherish you at all......"

Unexpectedly, the first and second audiences of this movie turned out to be attracted by Zhang Jiayi.

Duane couldn't help but think of the man.

Among those actors, except for Zhu Qian, Zhang Jiayi is the most satisfying to him: his acting skills are passable, he treats people and talks well, and sometimes he can guide other actors to move, and the only drawback is probably that the salary is a little higher - the salary of 15,000 is still a bit heart-wrenching.

I don't know when, the words of the two girls behind him lowered and gradually fell silent.

“…… Hello, Gao Feng. You are a well-off class of people who are physically and mentally able-bodied, but you committed suicide last month by cutting your wrists with a razor......"

The tape recorder in the film plays a monologue by the mastermind behind the scenes, and the picture is layered with barbed wire.

The barbed wire in front of the camera was torn out, the broken barbed wire bloomed, and a man with a fat upper body was hanging on two layers of barbed wire holes, his body was covered with wounds and dried blood, and there was a barbed wire fan-shaped break under his body inserted into his abdomen, and a swarm of flies flew in front of the camera.

Apparently dead.

Several flash-sparkling close-ups sweep over the man's various wounds, which, under Duane's explanation, are unbridled and bloody, disgusting, and do not care about the audience's viewing experience at all.

"Vomit ......"

Anthony's face was a little pale, and he covered his mouth, "Du, I didn't expect you to make a horror movie...... This should be restricted in cinemas, not in public...... We're going to get in trouble......"

"Are you alright?"

Duane greeted him, a little incomprehensible to the psychology of these foreigners - in his opinion, although these scenes were a little bloody, they were not as exaggerated as Anthony, right?

Seeing Anthony shake his head, Duane asked again, "You want to stop the screening?"

That's not good.

finally attracted two audiences with Zhang Jiayi's popularity, he didn't want to see the movie stop immediately, it would be too disappointing.

"This is not suitable for public broadcasting ......"

Anthony just said this, although his face was a little pale, but his eyes never left the screen from beginning to end. He paused and smiled helplessly, "But I'd love to read it, so whatever." ”

He shrugged.

Duane's heart was relieved.

“…… Do you really want to die by cutting your wrists, or do you just want to get the attention of others? I'll wait and see tonight. ”

The plot continued, and no one spoke again.

“…… Ironically, if you really want to die, then you just need to stay here, but if you want to live, you have to hurt yourself again and try to get through the barbed wire to the door...... But you have to be fast, because at three o'clock the door will be locked......"

The holes in the barbed wire were small, the broken wires were sharp, and the victim was a fat man covered in fat, and if he tried to get through the holes, he would undoubtedly be scarred and even killed.

Anthony looked solemn and his eyes lit up.

Self-harm in exchange for life, or health in exchange for death?

The horror movies he had watched before were all horrors for the sake of horror, and he had never seen such horror movies.

He wanted to watch it even more now.

As for the fact that this movie is not suitable for public play?
