The reason why Lao Jia positioned "Platform" as an epic work is because the span of the movie is as long as ten years. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info is, in a sense, an ode to China in the 1980s and to the great social changes that followed the special period. In 1976, Taizu died, and the special period finally ended, and after a short transition period, the chief designer formulated a series of new policies during this period. It changed China's infrastructure and encouraged a free-market economy.

"Platform" explores this period through the fate of the members of the Fenyang Art Troupe who chased the tide of social and cultural change. Two pairs of heroes and heroines, Cui Mingliang and his love object Yin Ruijuan, as well as Zhang Jun and his girlfriend Zhong Ping, who have a stable relationship.

Cui Mingming, played by Wang Dalun, is sensitive and self-respecting, he likes Yin Ruijuan but never takes the initiative to confess in order to maintain his poor self-esteem. In the current words, it is pretending to be forced.

may be because he just finished filming "When the Flowers Bloomed", Wang Dalun feels that Cui Mingliang is Lao Jia himself. Of course, there is still a certain gap between the character of Cui Mingliang and Lao Jia in terms of age, but Lao Jia is also from this era after all, he put all kinds of character characteristics of that era on these four young people, and he substituted his personality and emotions into Cui Mingming's body.

It's interesting to say, Gao Xiaosong and Lao Jia are very good at pretending to be forced in his eyes, just a pretending foreign coercion, and the other pretending to be a local coerc. But compared with the erosive love depicted by Gao Xiaosong, it is obvious that Lao Jia is much deeper than him.

For example, when filming the scene where several protagonists went to the cinema to watch the classic Indian movie "The Wanderer", Yin Ruijuan was called out by her father, who was a police officer. In the hall of the Soviet-style cinema, portraits of Lenin and Stalin are hung around it, and between Yin Ruijuan and her father is a clear portrait of Taizu's youth, and below the portrait is a group of young people forced to squat on the wall by Yin Ruijuan's father. And Yin Ruijuan's father is criticizing her for being influenced by the corruption of foreign films. The strong metaphor in this is self-evident.

This kind of feeling, or this kind of sense of responsibility and criticism of society, Gao Xiaosong can't shoot a little bourgeois. And this kind of struggle of the little people at the bottom is more in line with the taste of Wang Dalun, who has also had this experience.

……

This time, it wasn't the camera that was placed eight zhang away to shoot, the machine was set up in the room, and with Lao Jia's "action!" Yu Liwei operated the camera and first gave a close-up of Yang Lina who was sitting on the kang knitting a sweater, and then the camera slowly rotated, next to the table mahjong.

Wang Dalun held a cigarette and played a card, "Erjo!"

Liang Jingdong took advantage of Zhao Tao's kung fu to touch the cards and asked, "Old Song is really going with him?"

The art troupe was privately contracted, and Lao Song wanted to take the art troupe to tour to earn money, and several young people were faced with the choice of where to go.

Er Yong smiled: "Just treat him as Song Jiang." ”

"When Song Jiang?" Wang Dalun glanced at him and said disdainfully: "If you follow him, you will become Wuyong!"

Zhao Tao played a card, although she turned her back to the camera, but the girl's expression was still in place, and she played a card with an embarrassed face and said, "You are all leaving?"

"You're not leaving?" asked Liang Jingdong. He glanced at Wang Dalun of the next family.

Wang Dalun lowered his head and said nothing, the question in his heart, the good brother had already asked for him, and he waited for Zhao Tao's answer.

Zhao Tao glanced at him and said, "I can't go, my dad is sick." ”

Although Yin Ruijuan's father has always opposed the relationship between the two of them, he still wants to care, just raised his head, opened his mouth and was about to ask, when an abrupt voice suddenly came: "Zhang Jun, can you stop playing?"

Yang Lina, who was sitting on the kang, began to do it, although the camera did not give it to her, she still frowned and pouted, and her face was irritable.

Wang Dalun glanced at Yang Lina dissatisfied, took a puff of cigarette, and held back his words.

At this time, Er Yong said: "I'm not leaving, I'm waiting, I'm setting up a stall to make some money." ”

The three men played cards by themselves, and no one paid attention to Yang Lina. As Yang Lina's friend Zhao Tao stood up, picked up the hot water bottle and poured water, while persuading: "Zhong Ping, I'll teach you to play." ”

"Don't play!" Yang Lina said quietly. As Wang Dalun told her just now, she has substituted Zhong Ping's emotions into herself, and she doesn't even give Zhao Tao face.

Zhao Tao poured water here, and it was her turn to play the cards over there, and Er Yong, who was sitting under her, said: "I caught it for you." ”

"No, no, no. ”

Zhao Tao put down the hot water bottle and hurriedly went to draw cards.

"What's the matter?Zhang Jun, can you stop playing?" Hearing that her boyfriend ignored herself, Yang Lina shouted angrily.

"Don't scream, let's fight for a while!" Er Yong said back.

Wang Dalun also raised his head and looked at her with a dissatisfied expression, and said in a strange manner: "Come to your house to play cards for a while, it's a success, isn't it?"

"What's your business!" Zhao Tao glared at him.

Wang Dalun looked at her, pursed his lips, and said to Er Yong, who was sitting at the opposite house: "Fight, it's your turn." ”

"It's my turn, Kujo!"

Liang Jingdong was upset by his girlfriend's call, touched the nonsense again, and stuffed it into the card pile.

"What?" Wang Dalun didn't see clearly.

"Sixty thousand!" Liang Jingdong said.

"Zhang Jun!" Hearing her boyfriend's voice, Yang Lina shouted angrily.

But without any response, Yang Lina completely broke out, grabbed the enamel cup on the table and slammed it hard.

"Cards!"

Lao Jia stared at the monitor and decisively shouted to stop. By the way, this time Lao Jia finally learned to look at the monitor.

As soon as the director shouted to stop, everyone stopped and looked at him. I saw that this thing slowly raised his head, his eyes were confused, and he smashed his mouth, as if he was talking to Yu Liwei, who was controlling the camera next to him, and seemed to be talking to himself: "Tsk, it's a little worse." ”

is not an actor factor, the actors are all very good, Wang Dalun hunched his back, tilted his head, touched the cards slowly, spoke in a weird manner, selfish and confused...... This is the Cui Mingliang he imagined. Yang Lina's outburst also surprised him, but he always felt a little worse.

"Almost, still almost......" Lao Jia kept babbling.

Fortunately, after a period of shooting, everyone has adapted to his convulsions for a certain period of time. Everyone is waiting, waiting for the director's new inspiration.

"Hey, Brother Lun, where do you say the difference?" Zhao Tao asked in a low voice.

Wang Dalun stood up and moved his shoulders and waist, looked at Lao Jia, shook his head and whispered, "I don't know." ”

He really didn't know, but he did feel that this scene alone seemed a bit thin because of Yang Lina's outburst, and as for how to change it, he didn't bother to think about it. No one knows this drama better than Lao Jia himself, and since he feels that it is a little worse, there must be a solution.

"Zhong Ping is so noisy, Zhang Jun didn't react at all?" Lao Jia thought for a while, couldn't figure it out, and asked.

"What kind of reaction do you want? Maybe Zhang Jun is tired and ignores the fiercest. Liang Jingdong thought for a while.

"Why don't you comfort you?" Wang Dalun also said. He is from his own point of view, of course, if Fan Ziyi makes such a fuss with him, he will definitely throw the mahjong away to accompany his girlfriend. But now in front of his brothers, Zhang Jun still wants to play, but at least he has to appease him, otherwise it will be too ruthless.

Lao Jia was silent, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. Next to him was a wooden box, on which the cup was placed. The box is full of his director's equipment, and when he is filming, he is like a monitor and canvas chair, and the staff helps him move wherever he goes.

When he was about to put down the cup, something suddenly occurred to him, and he opened the box and pulled out a telescope from inside.

Seeing this, some people may ask, what is the director doing with a telescope while filming? It is really useful to tell you, this drama Lao Jia is crazy about long shots, long shots, and even ultra-long shots. In a few scenes, he even wanted to set up the camera three miles away, and there were small dots in the lens, and he had to use a telescope to observe the actors' movements.

"You take this and look at Xiao Yang. Lao Jia handed the telescope to Liang Jingdongdao.

Liang Jingdong didn't understand what Lao Jia meant, so he took the telescope with a blank expression, looked at Yang Lina, and the two were separated by four or five meters, and they saw a part of Yang Lina in the telescope, and they couldn't see the whole picture at all.

"It's too close. Liang Jingdong put down the telescope and said.

"Look at it the other way around. ”

You don't need to look at it, you know that the telescope turns into a telescope.

"It's so close, it's so far, you tease Xiao Yang with this. Lao Jia induced.

Liang Jingdong thoughtfully picked up the binoculars and looked at it again.

"It's close. ”

Look at it the other way around.

"Far away. ”

"Do you understand?" Lao Jia blinked his small eyes, looked at Liang Jingdong, and then glanced around.

Hey?

Everyone has read the script, and they all know that Zhang Jun and Yang Lina, a seemingly stable couple, ended up breaking up in the end, close and far away......

"Smack!" Yang Lina slapped her face, and was the first to react, and said, "Director, you mean to add this paragraph to lay the groundwork for a future breakup." ”

Everyone is used to having too many metaphors in Lao Jia's movies, and perhaps it is precisely because there are so many metaphors that everyone likes this movie.

"There is an interest in this regard, but the main reason is that I feel that the play just now is a little thin, and it is more vivid. Lao Jia said with a smile, a little meaningful.

Zhang Jun lowered his head and pondered for a while, the director temporarily came to inspire the play, there were no specific lines, and the actors were allowed to play freely.

"Director, almost, come on. ”

"Okay, action!"

"Zhang Jun!" Yang Lina shouted. The voice was two degrees higher than before, and there was a crying tone.

"Sixty thousand. Liang Jingdong replied to Wang Dalun, picked up the telescope next to him and looked at his girlfriend who was sitting on the kang and lost his temper, and teased with a smile: "So close!" and looked at it the other way, "It's so far!"

"Wait a minute, it'll be right away. He was comforted again.

The others looked at the cards in their hands.

The camera slowly shifted to Yang Lina next to her, Yang Lina's face was full of irritability, she stared at her boyfriend at the card table, biting her lower lip, the ups and downs of her sweater-wrapped chest were getting bigger and bigger, and finally she couldn't help it, picked up the enamel cup on the table, and wanted to fall to the ground It seemed that she was reluctant, but the anger in her heart couldn't come out, she paused slightly, and finally slammed it on the table.

"When Changchang—"

The lens freezes.

"Okay, pass!"

Lao Jia stood up and waved his hand excitedly, plus this paragraph, the shot is finally a lot richer, which can be called perfect!

……

Just a few days after December, looking forward to the snow finally falling, Lao Jia was very excited, there are many scenes with snow in the play, such as the part where Cui's father criticized Cui Mingliang for wearing bell bottoms, such as him clearing the snow in front of the house alone.

The snow continued to fall for several days, and after filming in Fenyang for nearly a week, Lao Jia made a quick decision and took several main creators to Pingyao. The exterior was well planned in advance, because there is a long ancient city wall in Pingyao, and the city wall is a key location in the movie.

This section of the old city wall is very strong in Lao Jia's memory with its arched gates, steep steps without guardrails, and protruding bastions. He said that in the past, Fenyang also had a city wall, but it was not preserved later.

Lao Jia likes a classic movie from 1948 called "Spring in a Small Town". Wang Dalun has no impression, he seems to have let it go on TV before, and he vaguely remembers the decadent city wall that appeared at the beginning of this black and white movie, and he doesn't remember the specific plot or anything.

Lao Jia said that the story of "Spring in a Small Town" also takes place in the period of historical upheaval in China from the devastation of war to the new era. He was inspired by "Spring in a Small Town" to make the city wall a separate space in the film. Zhang Jun, Cui Mingliang and others gathered here, played pranks and sang songs. Cui Mingliang and Yin Ruijuan met here.

For this reason, he also used a room in an old dormitory building opposite the city wall as Yin Ruijuan's home and the future home of Cui Mingliang and Yin Ruijuan after they got married.

In winter, dusk falls.

There was a thick layer of snow on the walls, and it creaked when you stepped on it. Since the snowfall, the temperature in the area has plummeted to minus 10 degrees Celsius. At this time, Wang Dalun was standing alone on the city wall pretending to be cool, unobstructed, the wind on the city wall was very strong, rolling snow foam, looking out of the fog. The direction in which he was standing was facing Yin Ruijuan's home.

This scene happened not long after the Indian movie was released in the county, and he and Zhang Jun asked Yin Ruijuan and Zhong Ping to watch the movie together, but Yin Ruijuan was called out by her father in the middle. Yin Ruijuan's father looked down on Cui Mingliang from the bottom of his heart and was very opposed to the relationship between the two. At this time, Yin Ruijuan was being criticized by her father at home, criticizing her for being influenced by the corruption of foreign films.

The camera is set at a distance of almost 20 meters from him as always, he is wearing a blue woolen suit, and his arms are open, Lao Jia said that it is fashionable in this era to have demeanor rather than temperature, and the bell bottoms are worn because they need to be worn out of shape, and a pair of autumn pants are worn inside, so that he is frozen and shrinks his neck. And what Lao Jia wants is precisely this effect.

After standing for a long time, he shook his body, his hand was shrunk in his sleeve, and he twisted twice, ready to withdraw.

"Crunch, crunch, crunch......" walked in the direction of the camera step by step, and when it was about to arrive, Zhao Tao walked out from behind the camera and appeared on camera.

The girl wore a lot, a lake-green padded jacket, a crimson scarf, wide trousers enough to fit seven or eight pairs of autumn trousers, and gloves.

"What a coincidence!" he saw Zhao Tao walking over, stood still, and grinned.

"What a coincidence, I saw you a long time ago. Zhao Tao glared at him, and kept stepping on his feet as he spoke, the weather was too cold.

"I see you too. ”

"My dad can see it, let's go down. ”

This is where Cui Mingliang and Yin Ruijuan usually meet, and when they were talking, the two subconsciously looked in the direction of Yin Ruijuan's house, and then looked under the city wall.

"Good!"

The camera froze for a few seconds, and Lao Jia saw that the artistic conception was enough, and finally shouted.

As soon as the words fell, Wang Dalun rubbed his hands and shouted, "Overcoat, I'm frozen to death." (To be continued.) )
