Chapter 337: Life is a Cage

Liu Shishi turned her head to see Gu Xiaofan on the screen, her eyes showed a hint of longing, and she agreed with envy: "Yes...... Looking up at such a huge figure from the seat is as if a mortal is looking up at God......"

It's like looking at God...... Looking at himself composed of light on the big screen, Gu Xiaofan couldn't help but be fascinated when he listened, yes, when he saw those immortal-level performers in his mind, didn't he feel like he was seeing a god......

At the beginning of the shot, everyone saw Gu Xiaofan playing the picture of the twenty-five-year-old Cheng Dongqing passing the visa, a very columbic look, and a group of people were whispering:

"This Director Gu is really good, and his acting is much more mature than when he was in "Love Apartment". [Full text reading] ""There has indeed been progress. "But it's still not Huang Lei, Deng well."

Indeed, after Huang Lei, Meng Xiaojun and Wang Yang played by Deng Cao appeared one after another, everyone felt that Gu Xiaofan was very ordinary.

But when the camera turned again, it turned to the great development of new dreams, and when the 40-year-old Cheng Dongqing gave a speech, Cheng Dongqing had completely changed into a different look, his cowardice turned into calmness, and his humility turned into charm, flashing like a black light.

"What is the dream? Dreams are things that make you feel persistent, and they are happy. ”

The first few shots of time and space are interspersed, which are too novel for some people, and many of them are a little unacceptable, and even like Director Jin and Director Li, a few people have a question in their hearts.

What's going on? Is this Cheng Dongqing played by two people? The 40-year-old Cheng Dongqing in the back is not Gu Xiaofan, right?

"This clip is a little confusing" This is a common idea among everyone, but at least at the beginning, Cheng Dongqing's speech about dreams still made everyone understand that this is a movie about dreams, and many people feel that this kind of inspirational film seems to be too widespread and has nothing new.

But soon many people were hit by a camera, 20-year-old Cheng Dongqing knelt on the ground, begging his mother to pay for him to take the college entrance examination again, but his mother told him:

"Dongqing, you should be a farmer with peace of mind."

Many young people think it's funny when they look at it, it's just the college entrance examination, and they still kneel down and beg, they still hate having to take the exam.

For many people from rural areas in the theater, it is a shame to be willing to be a farmer in their hometown, a kind of unproductive performance, and only useless young people will stay in the countryside.

Life is a cage where everyone spins around and lives in a cage.

We in the cage are thought to be inadequate, and to say that we have been like this for the rest of our lives, which makes us feel humiliated and feel insignificant.

Cheng Dongqing knelt on the ground, begging for an opportunity, a chance to escape from this cage, his cage is "rural", he failed the college entrance examination twice, everyone thought that he couldn't get into college, he couldn't, he Cheng Dongqing could only be a farmer for the rest of his life.

There was a voice in his heart, telling him that he could only gain dignity by getting out of the cage, and that he knelt down not for success, but for dignity.

"Americans will never understand that Chinese heroes can kneel."

And when "Rock on the Road of the New Long March" sounded, it hit many people.

Meng Xiaojun, a college student, said: "Cheng Dongqing, let me tell you, all the places that open the water, and what everyone wants most is the United States. ”

At that time, college students gathered in a circle and laughed about their dreams, and people at that time could easily say: I love my country, I long for freedom and democracy. The casual tone seems to ask "You have eaten" no.

At that time, Yanjing also had the Star Painting Exhibition, the April Film Festival, and the poem "Humility is the pass of the lowly, and the noble is the epitaph of the noble." "Singing in the mouths of a generation of young people......

At that time, people longed for freedom, they were imprisoned in this environment, and they had to go to the United States to get the dignity they wanted.

Meng Xiaojun is not only a representative of that era, but also the epitome of many young people in this era, conceited, with awesome and great exotic dreams in his own opinion, and when all this is photographed by the sea of reality, he knows how exaggerated and naΓ―ve he was in the past......

And as the plot deepened, Cheng Dongqing fell in love with Su Mei, and with the change of the times, making money has become a measure of success.

Money has become the new cage, and only with money can dignity be gained.

When the plot reaches this stage, no one can understand it anymore, because now everyone is carrying this cage.

Is it dignity to have money? It sounds ridiculous, but this is the reality, no matter how you say that the pursuit of money is vulgar, Chinese people who love money are called "soil", those who have money are called "local tyrants", and those who have no money are called "turtles".

But only with money can you live in this society, and with money you can support yourself, buy a house, get married, and educate your children.

Everyone is desperately trying to make money, and we even make enough money for our own use and still want to make more money, it's not that we need so much money to squander, but we want more dignity.

For most people at the scene, the youth told in the movie is quite far away, like Chu Qiubai, in the eyes of Director Jin, this youth is too trendy, and for He Tiejun and Gu Xiaofan, this youth is too nostalgic.

That kind of costume, that kind of campus, that kind of library, everything is so unfamiliar, but everyone can see themselves from inside, because everyone is fighting for their own dignity.

Dignity may be a career, it may be a good-looking wife, it may be a child with excellent character and learning......

What others think we can't do, we want to do, not because we have any dreams, and it is not necessarily that we can do it, but as long as we have the courage to fight, we can live with dignity.

When the plot of the film continues, on the big screen, the unemployed Cheng Dongqing and Wang Yang are watching Zhou Runfa in "The True Colors of Heroes", obviously eating a boxed lunch, but the letter to Dillon describes another kind of life, Cheng Dongqing's demeanor is exactly the same as Zhou Runfa in "The True Colors of Heroes".

It's like this allegorical lens language, one person after another, without pause, and each shot is unusually real and soulful.

On the seats, many technicians in the film were amazed at some technical details:

"Wow...... Did you see it, the shot just now, the parallel editing, and the smooth special scene, are really telling the story to the point, and it can eliminate the abruptness of the scene transition. ”

"These music clips are also very exciting, the melody chosen by Gu Xiaofan is very consistent with the rhythm of the characters' expressions, this guy is really amazing."

These are still small details, what really makes Director Jin and other experts feel extremely shocked is Gu Xiaofan's editing skills
