Chapter 165: Thoughts
After taking pictures, Wang Xiaoshuai and Lin Zhimo were interviewed by reporters on stage, which was nothing more than some questions about the possible surnames of the film winning the award, and the film officially began to be screened after answering.
Since Shakira was attending the premiere as a guest, she was arranged in the back seat of Lin Zhimo, and before the film started, Shakira urged Lin Zhimo a little anxiously: "Lin, what do you think of the lyrics?" ”
Lin Zhimo shrugged with his back to Shakira: "I only know two-thirds of the English, and I can't understand the rest of the languages." ”
Shakira reacted at this time, and just as she was about to speak, she saw the lights in the screening room dim, so she closed her mouth and carefully enjoyed Lin Zhimo's performance in the film.
At the beginning of the film, Guo Liangui, played by Lin Zhimo, first entered Yanjing City for an interview, and Guo Liangui's first impression was that he was wooden and said little.
Although Shakira now has a deep memory of Lin Zhimo's appearance, this is also relative to Germany, which is full of Europeans and Americans, just like in the film, Shakira can't tell the difference between Lin Zhimo and several other extras, in her eyes, these actors are almost the same appearance.
Lin Zhimo, who was sitting in the front, seemed to guess that Shakira would have this kind of confusion, so he took out a note and wrote the words "Don't worry" on the paper in bold, and then handed it to Shakira behind him.
Shakira took the piece of paper handed over by Lin Zhimo suspiciously, and could tell the words "don't worry" by the light on the screen. After seeing it clearly, Shakira's heart couldn't help but warm, and her eyes narrowed slightly, and she cautiously folded the small note with her heart and put it in her handbag, and then patted it gently. When she looked at Lin Zhimo sitting in front of her again, there was a trace of affection in her eyes that she hadn't noticed.
At this time, an interesting plot was shown in the film. Guo Liangui's friend in Yanjing, the owner of a commissary, said to Guo Liangui: "If I were from the city, I would drink sugar water and brown sugar water every day; Eat pork rib noodles three times a day, two bowls at a time, and pour one bowl after eating. ”
When the performance came here, although the audience watched the subtitles, they still couldn't help laughing, especially the sentence "two bowls at a time, eat one bowl and pour one bowl" made them feel the sadness of the little people while laughing.
Shakira didn't laugh about this, she was also born in Colombia, a developing country, and naturally understood the self-deprecation in the film better than the audience in these developed countries in Europe and the United States, and she only felt a heartache for the humble "ideal" of this little person. And she was also surprised to find that Lin Zhimo's acting skills were not lower than his music level.
The film continues, as Guo Liangui gets closer and closer to the date when he can buy a bicycle, the music of the film gradually rises, and the audience's mood begins to gradually relax.
When watching Guo Liangui stubbornly plead to the salesman, there was also a burst of sympathetic discussion in the movie theater, and everyone didn't want to see this simple child being treated unfairly, so when Guo Liangui finally got his car, there was a round of warm applause in the movie theater.
Shakira looked at the stubborn and somewhat axial boy on the big screen, and couldn't connect him with the musical talent in front of him in any way.
"Which one is the real him?" Shakira wondered secretly.
In the foreign entertainment industry, few stars can develop on both music and the screen at the same time, and most of them choose to concentrate on one path.
The film continues, Guo Liangui entered the bathing center to receive express mail, but was mistaken for a guest who came to consume, and after a mistake, in the laughter of the audience, Guo Liangui finally came out of the bathing center. However, with the lively sound of gongs and drums outside, Guo Liangui found that his bicycle was missing.
So Guo Liangui then began a long journey to find a car, and at this time, the film also began to focus on the other protagonist Xiao Jian. From Xiao Jian, the director reflects a completely different way of life from a migrant worker like Guo Liangui, who can go to school, have girlfriends, and show off his youth with his classmates in an abandoned building.
At first, when the audience saw Xiao Jian riding the bicycle, they thought it was a car stolen by Xiao Jian, but as the film developed, everyone began to realize that the car was not stolen by Xiao Jian, but that he took the money that the family used for his sister's school to buy it in the second-hand car market.
At this time, Guo Liangui also found this "own car" by chance, so he began to compete with Xiao Jian for the ownership of the car.
Because Xiao Jian bought the car, he naturally refused to give the car to Guo Liangui like this, so he and a group of his friends surrounded Guo Liangui in the building, trying to force him to give up the car.
To be honest, it is only at this time that the audience begins to slowly appreciate the meaning of this film, just like the title "Seventeen-year-old bicycle", this film is a series of stories that revolve around this bicycle, and the focus is on the different meanings of this ordinary bicycle for two seventeen-year-old children.
For Guo Liangui, this car is not only a tool for his own work, but also represents a road, a road that can be relied on to become a "city person". Relying on this bicycle, he can drink "brown sugar water" every day like the people in the city, change different clothes every day, and live a decent life like the people in the city.
And for Xiao Jian, this bike has a different meaning. This is the "face" that he can play with in front of his friends, and it is a necessary prop to go home from school with his girlfriend, and it can be said that this bicycle is the self-esteem of his seventeen-year-old youth.
So a person who is unwilling to give up the path of becoming a city person, and a self-esteem who is reluctant to be young, there will inevitably be conflicts and contradictions between the two, and in the scene of the building, it is the point of the most intense conflict.
When Xiao Jian and his classmates' patience gradually wore off, they finally chose the easiest and most trouble-free way - to grab it, while Guo Liangui desperately hugged the bicycle. But how did he compete with a few young men alone, so under their hand-in-hand and foot-to-foot, finally he could no longer protect this "road" to his dream.
So Guo Liangui let out the loudest hoarse cry in the whole film.
"Ahh Yes!! Yes!! ”
Guo Liangui's mournful shout resounded in the building, in the screening hall, and even in the hearts of every audience. Maybe at the beginning, they were a little angry with Guo Liangui's Mu Ne and his "axis", but at this time, when everyone heard this full of resentment, unwillingness, and reluctance, everyone was left with sympathy and a faint sadness.
Shakira, as a singer-songwriter, has delicate emotions, and when he saw Guo Liangui, a simple and somewhat poor child, being treated like this, he inevitably left tears.
Just when she was secretly crying, she only felt that a hand holding a tissue suddenly appeared in front of her, which was naturally Lin Zhimo.
took the tissue and wiped away her tears, Shakira couldn't help but temporarily shift her gaze from the screen to Lin Zhimo in front of her.
"What kind of person is he?" Shakira secretly said to herself, "I can sing, compose, act, I am considerate, I care about people, and my body and temperament are also very good......"
Thinking of this, Shakira's heart couldn't help but tremble.
However, although she is a warm and open Latin girl, due to her family education since childhood, she is not an active person in terms of emotion, so although she has a good impression of Lin Zhimo now, she doesn't know how to express it.
"Besides, he's so good, he must have a girlfriend in China, right?" Shakira suddenly thought.
Thinking that Lin Zhimo was from China, Shakira frowned lightly and shook her head secretly. With the current status of the two of them, even if they fall in love, they may end up in nothing. After all, one is Chinese the other is Colombian, and if both are international superstars, there might have been time to see each other often, but for now......
A sense of loneliness flashed in Shakira's eyes, knowing that she and Lin Zhimo had a great chance of becoming good friends instead of lovers.
While Shakira's mind was cranky, the movie continued to play. At this time, on the big screen, Guo Liangui had already discussed with Xiao Jian a solution - the two of them rode for a day.
After that, Xiao Jian's relationship was in crisis, and his girlfriend was snatched away by another boy with good driving skills. As a young and frivolous young man, Xiao Jian chose to use the solution that best suited his age. So on the way home, Xiao Jian picked up a brick and broke the man's head.
Later, when the two handed over the bicycle, Xiao Jian smoked for the first time, and seemed to be much bigger in an instant, and said to Guo Liangui: "I don't need this car in the future, I don't need it." ”
Just when Guo Liangui asked why in confusion, the beaten young man led a group of friends to find the two.
Guo Liangui didn't know why, so he had to passively run with Xiao Jian, and in the end, the two were caught up by the group of people and beaten hard. Guo Liangui, as a completely uninformed outsider, just kept saying "don't do my business", and then watched a thug smash his bicycle to pieces.
There was a buzz of discussion in the screening hall again, and everyone felt extremely angry and sad about Guo Liangui's cowardice and surname who didn't know how to resist, but more sympathy.
As if feeling the psychology of the audience, Guo Liangui in the movie watched his car, his hopes were trampled on by others, and he was angry and finally picked up the brick on the ground, and then beat the person unconscious, and finally hugged the broken bicycle and wanted to cry without tears.
At the end of the film, Guo Liangui walked alone on the bustling street with a broken bicycle in ragged clothes.
As the lights in the screening hall gradually brightened, the audience spontaneously stood up and gave warm applause to Wang Xiaoshuai and several actors of the film.
From the applause of the audience, Lin Zhimo knew that this film was a success. (To be continued.) )
