In the 80s of the last century, it was what Li Zehou called "the era of ideals, passion and hope", going to the sea to do business, writing books and sayings, writing poems and aspirations, meeting friends and picking up girls with literature, all ideals slowly recovered after experiencing depression.

I heard my father say that at that time, in the park on campus and on the barren hills, reading poetry would be vigorous, and the ideals and sisters were not wrong.

At that time, the term "avant-garde" was popular, and in the end, many filmmakers and artists unfortunately became "crazy first". In every era, there are pioneers, because in every era there are people who stand up and stretch the middle finger on the established traditions, and then try to establish a new pattern.

I like avant-garde films, such as Godard, Truffaut, Chabrol, and other hipster masterpieces, but the promiscuity of light and shadow did not originally come from them, but from the town of Bridge.

I remember that the movie theater in the town was very small, only able to accommodate less than 100 people, and Uncle Cui, who showed the movie, had a Laipi cat with two different colors of eyes. He is in charge of everything in the cinema, from ticket sales to screenings.

Uncle Cui likes to urge everything, he is slow to enter the scene, slow to urge to exit, and the movie is often scolded by the audience before the subtitles, cursing this dead old man for being in a hurry to reincarnate.

The only time he managed to do so was when he killed a snake that had invaded a movie theater. At that time, the movie theater was playing "Human Snake War", and a cauliflower snake received the same kind of SOS signal and climbed on a girl's lap to play, the girl thought that her boyfriend next to her was touching her thigh, and said coquettishly Why are you so anxious.

His boyfriend said inexplicably, anxious.

The girl looked at the lap......

"Ahh Only a piercing scream was heard, followed by a shout "There are snakes in the cinema". All of them fled like stunned rabbits, only F4 sat still, watching a movie with relish, thinking that the world of adults can't be understood, isn't it just a snake, this thing we wrap around our necks and play with scarves.

Uncle Cui didn't say a word, he lifted the snake's tail and shook it, and the snake whimpered.

Therefore, Uncle Cui's one-stop service has shrunk into a snake service.

But scolding can't kill him, he still urges, as if urging life. Originally, everyone worked hard for a week to go to the cinema to relax, but they were urged, and no one was happy.

The small blackboard at the entrance of the cinema previews next week's movie in advance, and the name of the leading actor will also be written. We are most looking forward to Lin Zhengying's zombie movie, pestering adults to buy movie tickets for change, a dime a piece, and the seats are casual.

Geng Hao was the most active, skipping dinner to grab a seat, and grabbing the best position was given to Lu Zejun, because he was short, and he could only look at the back of someone's head when he sat back.

Zombie movies are quite powerful, and people can't stop watching them, and after watching them, Uncle Cui is always scolded by the audience, not because he is urging, but because zombie movies make them unable to sleep at night and have nightmares.

Old man Cui shouted at this time, saying that I would rely on it, and I didn't force you to look at it, but I found fault with me. It's not unreasonable to think about it.

We didn't enjoy watching zombie movies, so we ran to my house and asked my dad to tell the story of "Corpse Transformation" in "Strange Tales from Liaozhai", and I didn't get tired of hearing it hundreds of times.

The four of them leaned together and listened intently, and there was no urine spot during the whole process. Occasionally, beetles from outside the window flew in and fainted on the lamp and slammed into the floor, scaring us half to death.

My dad was telling the story and figuring out the zombie poses and demeanors, so much so that we were convinced that there must be that bloodthirsty and strange creature. In addition, I was frightened by the movement of the beetle, and after listening to the story, basically everyone died.

They were so frightened that they didn't dare to go out, so they had to stay at my house for the night. Four people huddled in my cot to play a game of zombies, one person playing zombie and three people messing with people. The person is covered with a quilt, and the zombie has to find a way to bite the person under the quilt.

It's a fucking retarded game, but we used to play all night, and when it was dawn, we fell asleep, and my mom covered us with a quilt.

Later, the popularization of television, coupled with the urging Uncle Cui finally pushed himself into the coffin, the movie theater was abandoned and became a place for second-rate gambling and alcoholism and lovers fighting in the field.

At that time, I watched "Mine Warfare", "Tunnel Warfare", "Railway Guerrilla" and "Chicken Feather Letter" on TV, and I forgot to sleep and eat. After watching it, F4 dreamed of being a little hero in the movie and catching a few Japanese soldiers to have fun. When doing the game of "Anti-Japanese Heroes", the "Japanese soldiers" held machine guns made of wood, and they were middle-aged and reciting words, such as "flower girl land" and "yo hi yo hi", all of which were willing to be from the fierce Japanese soldiers in the movie.

As we grew older, we gradually said goodbye to the "Don Quixote era" and began to try to think about some questions, such as, are the Japanese really that stupid? As soon as I thought about it, more questions kept popping up.

Later, VCD machines rose, and there were small shops in the town that rented CDs, watching "Terminator", "Jurassic Park", "Jaws", "Star Wars", "Alien", "The Godfather", of course, the classic tertiary film "Beauty" and "When the Peach is Ripe" Needless to say, it is a compulsory course for teenagers in small towns.

The further back you go, the more depth you watch. Coppola, Kubrick, Gerasimo, Quentin, Lynch, Hitchcock, Akira Kurosawa, Bergman...... On the one hand, entertainment movies are not lost, and pure literary films are also more involved.

When I arrived at university, I took a film and television theory course at Peking University, the teacher was a literary and artistic old man, the lectures were witty and humorous, and he often lectured after drinking.

But I can't figure out which of his words is crazy and which is normal. The old indignant young man said: "You nerds studying liberal arts are more beneficial to watch movies for four years than to study for four years honestly." ”

So, in the dormitory, I watched movies with Yuan Zheng and Yang Chenjun Changmao, basically reaching the rhythm of five films a week. Counting small movies, it's about 20 movies a week. Generally speaking, there are many foreign movies to watch, and there are few domestic directors who can come up with them due to various reasons.

At the beginning of the fourth year of college, a young director named Du Feng made a realistic film called "Deep Well" that describes the life of miners.

We guess that this film will be popular, and this director will be red and purple. Sure enough, in less than a month, the news that "Deep Well" won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival came out, and Du Feng suddenly became the focus of major media.

Previously, except for the fifth-generation director Chen Kaige's "Farewell My Concubine", no Chinese film has won this award. A young director under the age of 40 who can conquer the jury of the Cannes Film Festival naturally attracts attention.

Du Feng is unusually low-key, going through the motions every time he attends an event, not accepting any private and media interviews, his hair covers his forehead, and his head is buried very low, afraid of seeing the light.

He has always been mysterious, and the media has never done his interviews, but they are all side-knocking, and they get his information through the people around him.

This high-achieving student who graduated from the directing department of the film school, who was a "pioneer" in the late 80s of the last century, made mistakes and had difficulty finding a job, so he lived in the basement, working as a waiter to brush the dishes, and at the same time used the camera to shoot some small movies, which he tightened his belt and squeezed out of his teeth.

The stories of his small films are bizarre and twisty, and they happen to ordinary people at the bottom, such as a single mother who was abducted and trafficked by traffickers, and a migrant worker who asked for wages petitioned from GuangXi to BeiJing for 300 yuan.

The story he tells is full of realistic questions, revealing a bleak but not lacking belief temperament, and the camera is full of helplessness and sadistic atmosphere, which is full of tension.

He put the videos on the Internet and received an astonishing number of hits, which attracted the attention of the public. A more discerning producer targeted him and invested in him to make his first feature film, "The Deep Well", which was an unexpected hit and won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. Major domestic media have made great efforts to promote this cutting-edge director.

At the college student film festival that year, Du Feng became the most shining guest, he did not spread scandals, walked the red carpet and did not pose, but attracted the most magnesium lights.

I was arranged by Chao magazine to interview and do a feature report at the festival.

After taking a turn at the entrance ceremony, I found that all the people on the red carpet were coquettish, with no acting skills, no feelings, no depth, not my thing, and I didn't have the slightest interest in interviews, so I simply went to the cold dinner party to eat a wild meal.

When I was eating the most, I was stopped by a voice: "Why are you here?" ”

When he raised his head, he saw Chen Fei, who was wearing a black dress, standing in front of him, wearing makeup, and his facial features were more exquisite, but it was difficult to hide the brutal and willful temperament between his eyebrows.

Needless to say, Bai Zongze, the little follower of the sissy, stood behind her, wearing a white suit, a bow tie at the neckline, and her hair was combed oily and smooth, which could be used as a mirror.

At that time, I was embarrassed, and the corners of my mouth were still stained with tomato sauce, and when I raised my head, Chen Fei couldn't help but laugh out loud. Xiaobai's smile was even more exaggerated, deliberately unable to straighten his waist, pointing at me and saying, "Haha, vampire." ”

I wiped my mouth and glanced at Xiaobai: "Vampires are always better than eunuchs." ”

Xiaobai immediately put away his smiling face, pointed at me with an orchid finger and said, "Eh, you...... Hmph, not like people like you. ”

Chen Fei asked again: "What are you doing here?" ”

"What are you doing here?" I asked rhetorically.

Xiaobai actively promoted his goddess, saying: "Fei Fei is a cutting-edge director, a guest specially invited by the organizing committee of the film festival. ”

"A new director? Now you can just carry a camera, shake it twice, and shoot a variety of slides to be called a cutting-edge director? "I don't cut it.

Xiaobai continued to defend his goddess: "You idiot know what kind of movie, Fei Fei will become a big director sooner or later, and you don't deserve to lick your toes in the future." ”

"Of course I don't deserve it, because I'm an upright person, how can I go and lick someone's toes?"

Chen Fei said to Xiaobai: "Don't fight, you go first and talk to Teacher Du Feng, I'll be there right away, let him wait." ”

Xiaobai gave me a contemptuous look and turned to leave.

As soon as I heard Chen Fei talk about Du Feng, my spirit came, and I couldn't resist the resentment that she forced me to sign 3,000 bookmarks last time, and hurriedly asked, "Do you know Du Feng?" ”

"Uh-huh!" She crossed her hands over her chest and said proudly, "I don't know, I'm his producer now." ”

"I heard that he is a mysterious person and does not give any interviews?"

Seeing that I was interested in Du Feng, Chen Fei put down the shelf and said: "It's not mysterious, he doesn't like to be too exposed to the public, and he likes to make pure movies." What's wrong? Would you like to interview him? ”

"I want to think about it, but I'm worried that he doesn't want to."

"I can arrange for you to send him a copy of your book to read, maybe you can resonate, and maybe he will be willing to be interviewed by you."

"Really?" I'm a little excited.

"Of course, I can try."

"Thank you so much."

"It's not that simple, you have to promise me three requests."

She is ruthless again, but she can interview Du Feng and explore his new film plans, as long as I am not allowed to go to a nightclub to be a turtle father, I may consider Chen Fei's request.

Eventually, I gave in.
