Chapter 104: Dao Heart
After Gu Cheng and Director Li discussed, they rushed to get a visa, book a plane ticket, and flew from the capital to Hiroshima overnight. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
Then they took the Shinkansen to Fukuoka, changed trains and headed south along the Fukukuma Highway, and found the Kikukai that the brokerage company had been looking for for them in the Aso Mountains on the border between Fukuoka and Kumamoto.
For this filming location, Lin Zhiling spent a lot of energy: from Eslite Audiovisual to S-M, and then from S-M to Ai Hui Records, he found out about this place and asked the owner of the manor to rent it for filming.
Stretching for more than a dozen hectares, the high-pole Higogo chrysanthemum grows wildly on the fertile slopes of the characteristics of the Aso volcano, and the eyes are full of gold. The flower disc is not very large, and the top sways in the wind on the dense and proud stalks.
Whether it is Gu Cheng, Dong Jie, or Director Li, when they see this scene, they are all deeply shocked.
Chrysanthemums that are not topped do not grow tall and cannot be sold at a good price. But there are gardeners who are willing to lose money, and they raise these "worthless" purely for hobbies. is quite similar to Gong Zizhen's "The Story of the Sick Plum Pavilion": Why bother to die for the beauty of the song? Why do you want to cut chrysanthemums and pick chrysanthemums for the huge flower plate?
The staff of the set and props were busy arranging the flower field. The rest of the people who were temporarily idle just sat quietly on a high place and enjoyed the flowers for half an hour.
Until Dong Jie's slightly sad emotion broke this tranquility: "So many Chinese literati sang the praises of chrysanthemums, but I didn't expect to come to Fusang to shoot in the end, alas." ”
Director Li didn't feel good either.
Gu Cheng stood up, patted his windbreaker, and said: "Fusang people also attach great importance to chrysanthemums, isn't there a writer in the United States who wrote "Chrysanthemums and Knives" for this. Let's master the skills of Yi to control the Yi, and take the things of Fusang for my use, that is a good thing. ”
Dong Jie asked in confusion: "Why can't I find resources in China?" Is it a problem with the variety of flowers? ”
Gu Cheng smiled bitterly: "Domestic farmers are too bitter, they grow flowers for money, and they don't have so much leisure." Fuso people's brains are more axial, but the axis also has the wonderful use of the axis, that is, it can bring a lot of 'not cost-effective' possibilities to the world.
Since ancient times, the change of dynasties and the rise and fall of the imperial examinations in China have brought countless social-ladders (ascending channels), but also magnified the nature of people to follow the trend. Therefore, since ancient times, it has been easier for the Chinese to achieve achievements in fields with high social status, such as the imperial examinations in the Tang and Song dynasties, which were able to produce thousands of poets, lyricists, and calligraphers in one swarm.
Fuso has lacked an upward channel since ancient times, and a person's identity is destined when he is born. But in addition to being miserable, it also makes the general public's response to chasing the 'outlet' much slower. When you calm down, it's easy to play tea ceremony, flower arrangement, and kendo. No matter how 'cost-effective' things are, you can find people in Fuso who do it not for money, but only for the sake of letting the 'Tao' grow naturally. ”
Dong Jie and Director Li listened to Gu Cheng's words and thought so. He was even more in awe of his insight.
More than a decade later, Prime Minister Li called this Fusang trait "craftsman spirit", but Gu Cheng felt that the translation was not appropriate enough.
The essence of this spirit is actually only "meditation". The original intention is here, until death, the temptation of 'transformation can make more money', is it my business? Others laugh at me for being too slow, how can I be enough? ”
Dong Jie listened to Gu Cheng's declaration of looking up to the mountains, and felt that her heart was about to pound. After calming down for a while, he asked expectantly: "Then is this the way the country has always been?" There will definitely be more people who don't care about returns for their ideals in the future. ”
Gu Cheng said without hesitation: "Of course, in fact, there are many such people now, but they are still focused on scientific research and struggle, and they don't have time to pay attention to the field of 'useless wealth'." In another ten years, the domestic art outlook will naturally diversify. This can't be blamed on the Chinese people for pursuing profits, they are just poor for a long time and afraid of poverty. Cang Liao really knows etiquette, and there are very few people who can't afford a house and still think about poetry and distant places. ”
But no matter how many such people there are, Gu Cheng is definitely one of them. Even when he was in prison as a trainee in S-M Company, he was already so unyielding.
In a trance, two hours have passed, and the set staff has already dealt with the venue: the selected flower field for Dong Jie and Gu Cheng to shuttle has all been dug out of several ditches to ensure that the height of the flower path can cover the height of the actress. In the middle of the flower field folded a circular area with a diameter of one zhang, covered with golden Higo chrysanthemums.
Director Li gave an order, pulled everyone out of the beautiful scenery, and began the filming of the climax of the whole play.
Gu Cheng and Dong Jie immediately took their places, both riding old-fashioned and quaint bicycles, slowly coming from a distance. casually chatted about those lines that set off the idyllic atmosphere.
Director Lee changed his plan five minutes before filming started and decided to shoot with a long lens, and then slowly zoomed in.
It's a waste to take a close-up of such a beautiful scenery from beginning to end.
In this way, the expressions and lines of the two can also be more casual, because there is no lip-synching.
Gu Cheng couldn't help but hum softly even when he was in the distance: "When the petals leave the flowers, the dark fragrance will leave ......"
Dropping off the bicycle, a man and a woman walked into the sea of flowers one after another. In the end, when Dong Jie was "looking for him thousands of times in the crowd", she was pulled into the golden round flower bed by Gu Cheng's call that was obviously far away, but it seemed to be whispering in his ear.
Dong Jie's improvisation was very good, and she lay down quietly with Gu Cheng, kissed intoxicated, sighed and quietly, and finally sighed with petty bourgeoisie The life philosophy of "cooking oil with fire cannot last long".
The camera on a rail car gradually rises from the horizontal, until it rises to the sky above the heads of men and women, shoots vertically, and finally zooms out until the sea of flowers is endless.
“CUT! It's perfect! That's what I wanted! Next! ”
Director Li was so excited that his face was red, and he secretly said that it was worth it to come to Fusang this time.
In his opinion, with today's episode, even if "The Family of Gold Powder" does not reach the height of "Dream of Red Mansions", this episode itself is enough to become a benchmark for handsome and romantic play in the film and television industry in the next ten years.
……
There are several scenes between Jin Yanxi and Leng Qingqiu on Xiangshan, and after editing, it is about half an hour of scenes.
The group spent two days in the Kumamoto countryside and finished filming this part of the scene. is coming, Dong Jie still feels that there is a trace of unfinished eternity.
In order to celebrate that everything went well, Director Li found a small farmhouse hotel, invited everyone to have a drink, and prepared to pack up and return to China. There weren't many people coming this time, and there were only two actors, just enough for a small table.
Kumamoto is rich in chrysanthemums, and naturally it is also rich in chrysanthemum in sake, so of course you drink this at the dinner table.
Drinking chrysanthemum wine, eating Chikuzen boiled, horse meat roast rolls and lotus root clips, Director Li said some words of thanks to everyone, and by the way, he took out the filming arrangements behind and went through them.
Before Gu Cheng joined the group, he had agreed to take a two-week holiday, one at the beginning of November and one at the end of December - after all, his business was too busy, and he didn't pay attention to it for more than three months, maybe he didn't know that his old book had been copied.
Lei Jun's team did the killing software and helped develop a new version of Alipay that untied the physical address. Even after Sun Zhengyi's second money arrived, he built a paid literature website, and Gu Cheng had to ask about it in person at these time nodes.
Therefore, Director Li remembered that the next week was lined up for scenes that did not require the actor to appear.
He patted his head: "The days are so fast, it turns out that Xiao Gu should leave the group." Then today's wine, let's practice it by the way. After taking care of the business, we'll see you in the middle of the month. ”
Director Li raised his glass first, and the staff all gave Gu Cheng a glass. Dong Jie didn't know Gu Cheng's vacation arrangement, but at this moment, she looked very surprised and respected.
"Ah Cheng, I wish you a smooth business, I'll do it first, you feel free." After Dong Jie finished speaking, she picked up a bottle of 350ml chrysanthemum wine, and blew it directly from the bottle, until her eyes were red, which was very bold.
"Then I will accept your good words." Gu Cheng had a lot of people to deal with, so he could only take a small glass to accompany him.
After the meal, everyone took a rented SUV and drove back to Fukuoka.
Kumamoto is the poorest prefecture in all of Fuso, and its income is almost entirely dependent on agriculture, and it is not even connected to the Shinkansen (more than a decade later, it got a bear, developed a little tourism, and also connected to the Shinkansen). Therefore, the transportation is all connected by road to Fukuoka, and then there are railways and airplanes.
Sitting in the car, Dong Jie's face was red, she should have drunk too much wine, and she was dizzy and couldn't help leaning on Gu Cheng's shoulder.
When the car was about to drive out of the Asu Mountains, Gu Cheng's mobile phone rang, and Dong Jie was completely awakened, and she sat up straight embarrassed.
Gu Cheng picked up the phone, and a girl's voice came into his ears: "Brother Cheng, I heard that you are filming in Fukuoka?" ”
It's Quan Baoya, who speaks Fusang language.
Gu Cheng was slightly stunned, and also replied in Fusang language: "Why do you have a mobile phone?" It's still a new number. The company doesn't care about you. ”
"After Director Jin left, the company's management was loosened. I've also been allowed to bring my phone, but I'm going to change my number regularly. The girl said a few words, and couldn't help but pour out resentment, "You only care about these ......"
Gu Cheng smiled: "Okay, then tell me why you thought of calling me - how did you know that I was in Fusang." ”
"How could I not know the location contacted by Ai Hui's location manager." Quan Baoya said faintly, "You saved me last time, I should have thanked you well." But when I encountered infighting in the company, I was not in a good mood and was a little rude. Now I have figured it out, after Director Jin left, the atmosphere of the company has indeed improved a lot. Are you free this time? Tomorrow is my birthday, and I invite you to dinner. ”
Gu Cheng was a little strange: "Haven't you been very busy all the time?" ”
Kwon explains, "After the release of the new record, I was just free – I'm in Fukuoka right now. The day after tomorrow, I will return to Tokyo and prepare for my first solo concert. ”
"Okay, I'll see you in Fukuoka then." Gu Cheng hung up the phone.
Dong Jie, who was on the side, was already sitting upright and moved her body away when she heard the soft and magnetic female voice on the phone. When Gu Cheng hung up the phone, she stroked her sideburns magnificently, smiled sideways and asked, "Do you still have female friends in Fusang?" ”
Gu Cheng said frankly: "Well, an old friend who has known each other for more than three years. ”
Dong Jie's eyelashes flickered, and she asked softly, "Artist?" ”
"Sort of, singer. Those of you who don't listen to Fuso music don't know you. ”
Dong Jie didn't ask again. Director Li and others had actually pricked up their ears to listen as early as when Dong Jie asked.
Gu Cheng's words were so frank, it didn't look like he had something to hide.
The car was quiet again, only listening to Gu Cheng's mobile phone ringing occasionally, and then he picked it up and typed to reply to some text messages.
An hour later, the train stopped at Hakata Port Station in Fukuoka, where everyone was ready to take the Shinkansen, and Gu Cheng said goodbye to everyone.
Dong Jie saw a straight girl with a medium-sized black length who was about the same petite as herself, standing next to a nanny car, looking forward to it. After Gu Cheng and the girl looked at each other, they walked over calmly.
"Is she prettier than me? It doesn't seem like it's going to be talked about, is it? Dong Jie subconsciously asked herself in her heart, and then immediately found that this question was too superficial, and hurriedly spit on herself, "Ah Cheng said it, people are old friends." ”
