Lin Xiaoling took the news documentary from Huaguo TV and watched it several times. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The main purpose of the documentary is to promote the country's humane policy, where prisoners can be released on parole and return home to their loved ones as long as they behave well in prison.

There are more propaganda materials, and there are not many scenes where prisoners and their families meet.

But it is in these few scenes that there is something touching about people's hearts.

The camera captures a few moments, and the prisoner's feelings of remorse and concern are so sincere that even professional actors are difficult to interpret.

Because that's life, that's what it's real.

An actor's performance originally comes from life, an actor is not a criminal, not a psychopath, not a robber, but when acting, he has to imitate these roles.

He had no such experience and could only imitate by observing the various characters in his life.

In the performance department of the Academy of Arts, teachers often ask students to go to train stations or tourist attractions to observe the crowds coming and going in crowded places.

Record the characteristics and behaviors of these people and play different roles in class.

Some actors will take the time to experience life and understand the living environment of the character in order to play a good play.

After watching a film, the audience will comment that the actor acts very similarly, but no matter how the actor acts, it is still performing, which is far from being as real as the original appearance of life.

Documentaries play this role, it can record the face of life almost realistically, although most of the time life is ordinary and ordinary, but there are always certain moments that can touch people's hearts.

As a director, Lin Xiaoling just wants to extract this moment and put it in the movie.

Therefore, art comes from life and is higher than life.

After watching the documentary, Lin Xiaoling had a score in her heart, and she determined two points, one is that there is something to shoot on this subject, and the other is that this film should be shot in a documentary style.

There is a difference between a documentary style film and a documentary.

A documentary is a film that creatively manipulates current news material, and it uses real material.

A documentary film may be based on real events, but its details are fictional, artistically processed and processed, and it is only a film and does not assume the role of a documentary.

However, compared to those dramatic or technical films, documentary films are closer to life.

Through the film, the audience can directly see what is changing, disappearing or growing in life.

The film "The Two of Us" can only be said to be life-oriented, not a documentary-style film, because it concentrates the contradictions in life, it looks like life, but in fact, life is more plain.

Documentary style movies should tell a story as objectively as possible, not beautiful, not pretentious, and bland.

Lin Xiaoling has studied these knowledge systematically in school, and she has made documentaries, which can be regarded as having some experience.

She knew that it was risky to shoot in a documentary style, which meant that the plot didn't have too much conflict, and it was difficult to attract the audience.

This required her to find stories that would touch the audience when choosing the footage to be filmed, and the prisoners went to prison for different reasons, among which homicide was supposed to be the most serious crime.

The story of a female murderer may be able to resonate with the audience.

Lin Xiaoling didn't want to shoot a vicious woman, but wanted to shoot the story behind it, she wanted to go to the prison to understand the case and find a suitable entry point from it.

"Are you going to find a murderer?" Xu Jinglei was surprised, "Other criminals also have stories to film, so there's no need to take such risks." ”

"What's the danger of not meeting them directly, or flipping through the information, and then talking to the parties when they meet the right ones. Lin Xiaoling said indifferently, "Don't worry, I'll find someone to accompany me." ”

"I'm busy filming, otherwise I'll be with you. Xu Jinglei said helplessly.

"If you want to experience life in the future, you have to go to prison for a while, and you have to be mentally prepared. Lin Xiaoling teased.

Just do it, Lin Xiaoling contacted the Beijing Women's Prison, which used to be a women's labor camp, but in the past two years, it has been changed into a prison, specializing in female prisoners with household registration in the capital.

With the certificate issued by the Good Dream Company, accompanied by an employee, Lin Xiaoling walked into the prison.

There was no imaginary horror, and the prison officers provided her with some archival materials.

After reviewing dozens of materials, Lin Xiaoling found that not all prisoners were extremely heinous, and some of them committed irreparable crimes just because they missed for a while.

One of the most obvious cases is this.

In the eighties, there was an ordinary family, this family was divorced and reorganized, and the mother took her daughter Xiaohong to marry a man, and this man also had a daughter named Xiaoqin.

A family of four lives together like this.

is different from being amiable, as a father, he has to take care of his own daughter Xiaoqin, and he is more distant from Xiaohong.

One day, Xiaoqin stole five yuan that her father put on the windowsill, but her father didn't find it, so he suspected that Xiaohong had stolen the money, so he had a big quarrel at home.

Xiaoqin was scared, so she hid the money under Xiaohong's pillow and was discovered by adults.

This further confirms the fact that Xiaohong stole money, and Xiaohong was scolded by her mother.

Xiaohong knew that she didn't do it herself, she was framed, and on the way to school, she asked Xiaoqin to theorize, but Xiaoqin didn't admit it.

Xiaohong was angry, picked up the roadside vegetable farmer's flat pole and threw it at Xiaoqin, but accidentally smashed Xiaoqin to death.

So, Xiaohong went to prison and sat in prison for more than ten years, she was only a teenager when she first came in, and now she is almost thirty.

This case touched Lin Xiaoling a lot, and she went to see Xiaohong, a very silent woman who was reluctant to talk.

Back at the apartment, Lin Xiaoling flipped through the notes at hand, and the whole incident went through in her mind.

In her opinion, the cause of this case is not the point, the focus is on how Xiaohong will face her family when she goes back after she is released from prison.

This has not happened yet, no one knows the outcome, and the movie is fiction based on a certain life.

What Lin Xiaoling wants to express when she makes this film is understanding and tolerance, so she has to think about how to let Xiaohong go home smoothly.

"I don't think you can play a prisoner, you're too young, and this role has to be middle-aged. Lin Xiaoling said to her roommate.

"That's right, this role is really not suitable. Xu Jinglei looked at the case and agreed.

"I have assigned you a new role, a young female police officer in the prison, and you are responsible for accompanying the prisoner home, helping her adjust to life outside, and teaching the prisoner how to get along with her family. Lin Xiaoling said, "Your character plays a role in advancing the plot and looks at the whole thing from the perspective of a bystander." (To be continued.) )
