Chapter 984: Arthur's Way
A movie where all the actors are heavy scenes, not only the actors, but also the director has to bear a huge responsibility, if he can't intersperse some good pictures between the heavy scenes of these actors, so that the audience feels particularly tired to watch, then as a director is undoubtedly a failure - novel щww.suimeng.lā
It's too much, the actor can break out as much as possible, and the director is responsible for using the overall structure and his ability to make the actor's performance within the scope of the audience's eyes, so the people present read the script for a while and realized that this crew is not only the male number one to carry the beam, but the director also needs to pay a lot.
When everyone read the script, Ang Lee had already gotten up and gone to a corner of the conference room, where he sat and discussed in a low voice with his assistants how to shoot, what kind of process the whole film should be, where it is necessary to use excessive to slow down the pace of the whole film, and this excessive can not be a simple excessive, to reveal some information with static dynamic scenery and character dialogue in the picture, and add to the actors' extreme performances may be stored under the zài' loopholes', it can't be said to be a loophole, in order to let everyone really understand, some local professional filmmakers, film critics, and old audiences can understand it, but most of the audience can't understand it, they don't want to understand the movie, they have an attitude of entertainment, you need to simplify some places and ensure compression, how difficult is it, Ang Lee hasn't had a good sleep for more than ten days, this is more difficult than when he filmed xx mountain, that still has a little advantage in the theme, this is purely to fight a bloody way in the normal theme, make a really good movie, every detail is not allowed to make mistakes, you must keep improving, it is possible to do it。
Yang Yichen looked at the script, and once again, immersed his state into the whole story, and experienced the huge change in the actor's mental journey.
The story takes place in the southern part of America in the eighties.
Arthur (Yang Yichen) is a very decent and ordinary Chinese young man, and his high school life is a mess, in school. He is the kind of inconspicuous type, who will bully anyone who sees it, and he can't enjoy any warmth when he returns home, and his alcoholic father (Chow Yun-fat) has long since lost his high-spirited and handsome appearance. It's like a puddle of mud, drunk and dreaming all day long.
Arthur wants to grow up soon, and then he can live his own life on his own terms, no longer need others, and no longer be with those who bully him. He wants to be free, and he also wants equality among his classmates, but these are undoubtedly a dream, there is no equality and no self-ownership in the school, and there is no self-ownership and no equality in the family.
He lived humbly, and whenever the thought of his struggle came out, he quickly returned to calm, lying in bed, he always thought. Perhaps, this is my fate.
Finally one day, he completely sank to the bottom, although he was drunk on weekdays, but he maintained a strong father at all times, and there was also that kind of cowardice that could not be resisted at all, in the face of the return of his former 'partner', the man (Cheng Long), Arthur knew how his mother died, and why did this strong man go to prison. While hating his father, he didn't know that his father killed his wife for his lover and went to prison for more than ten years without being able to accompany him, or if his wife was killed by his lover, and repented in his heart.
"This is that kid, it's so Peugeot, I like it."
When the man made such a face, Arthur looked forward to his father's help. What he got was his father's indifference, perhaps, this was his choice back then, when his man was ruthless in the face of his wife, he also looked at him with such indifference.
Why?
Arthur screamed loudly because of the pain in his body. He roared because of the pain in his heart, but this qiē only stimulated the man even more, and his father was still on the sidelines, constantly drinking and silent.
Arthur's world was over, and when he limped into the room with only his school uniform shirt on his body, there were no tears on his face, only a walking-corpse-walking-flesh blankness and a kind of desperate hatred, he hated his father, he was leaving this home, he didn't want to stay here, he didn't want his life to end in such a painful place, ravaged by a strong man who had just come out of prison.
When Arthur changed his clothes and walked out of the house, it was already dawn, but he didn't know where he should go, staring blankly at the street in front of his house, not knowing whether to turn left or right.
Boom!
The back of the neck was choked, and the whole person was dragged to the basement of the backyard, the man was full of alcohol with a cigar in his mouth, and he smirked: "Little guy, what, want to leave?" You really think that you are a child of this family, why did your father indifferently watch me kill your mother, do you want to know? Hahaha, that's because your little bastard is the product of your mother stealing people outside, my lover has been insulted, that has to die, I don't know what he kept you such a bastard for until now, maybe, it's just this moment, let me enjoy you to the fullest, hahahaha, it's great, this way of revenge is really amazing. ”
Arthur didn't want to believe that this was true, but reality had to make him believe this qiē, if this was the case, his experience of growing up almost in pain over the years became a matter of course, and his drunken father beat himself from time to time, and now it seemed that it was already very gentle, far more gentle than the man in front of him.
Arthur, who was mentally and tortured, lay on the cold ground in the basement, and for a moment, he felt that he was dead, and when he had mustered up the courage to put it into action, the cold door opened, and the man, who perhaps he should not have called his father at all, appeared, carried in a sack, threw it on the ground, and dragged a man out of it.
Arthur saw that it was Brooke who bullied him the most at school.
"I'm leaving, my own revenge, I will avenge myself, whether it is life or death, you choose for yourself, if you hate him, hate me, hate us, there is one of the oldest tortures in China, a thousand cuts are cut, maybe, it's you, maybe, it's him."
A bucket of cold water was poured over Brooke's face.
When!
A sharp knife was thrown on the ground, followed by the iron door being coldly closed, Arthur listened to the laughter of the strong man, and saw the seemingly cold and calm eyes of his father the moment the iron door closed.
There were some words that Arthur did not hear.
Outside the iron gate, the strong man played by Cheng Long pouted and said, "What are you keeping him for, and now you don't kill him?" ”
Chow Yun-fat looked at the front calmly: "At home, you always have to be a little lively, let's go." ”
Inside the iron door, Brooke woke up, he grabbed the sharp knife, grinned and searched Arthur's body, and found no key to open the iron door, he shouted frantically until he was tired, and then he began to take revenge in this claustrophobic environment, there is a bottom line for bullying Arthur on weekdays, and today, it seems to be breaking through that bottom line.
Arthur looked at Brooke's broken ankle, a complicated expression flashed in his eyes, he knew that this was his father's intention, it seemed that the other party's eyes when the iron door was closed, also signaled something, but he was not in the mood to think about it just now, until the only weapon in the basement was held in Brooke's hand, and he became a plaything in his hand, Arthur let his dazed eyes rejuvenate.
What would a big man do with a big boy? The strong man played by Cheng Long has already performed for you.
What can a big boy do to another big boy? It will only be a brutal act, he is trapped, and in front of him is the guy who looks extremely annoying, if it is not for the bottom line in his heart, maybe the sharp knife has pierced the other party's body, Brooke does not dare, so, he became a loser in this basement, because, Arthur dared.
In order to live, for freedom, in order to break the inequality between the two, so he dared, the result was that Brooke covered his stomach and fell to the ground, his eyes were full of disbelief, he didn't dare to imagine that the boy who didn't dare to resist at all on weekdays dared to stab himself?
What he didn't think of was still to come, when a person who hit the bottom rebounded and took the first step, life is another world for him.
Brooke is not dead, but he can't move, there is no food and water in this basement, when Brooke took the initiative before, the iron door has been checked, and he can't get out, and the sound in it can't be heard, Brooke may not know that someone will come to save him, but Arthur knows that his father, who is a perennial alcoholic, has a bad relationship with the surrounding neighbors and no one will come to move around, and now he, who doesn't drink, dares to grab Brooke and break his ankle, and dares to close the iron door, Then he will definitely deal with the fact that he did not go to school, at least for ten days and eight days, no one will care about a student who has taken a leave of absence, even if the whole city is looking for Brooke, even if there are traces for the police to find this place in the end, at that time, it is estimated that there are only two stinky corpses left in this iron gate.
It's okay to go without food for three or five days, but if you don't drink for three or five days, how can you live?
Do you really want to be mad yourself......
Looking at Brooke, who was so weak that his face was pale, when Arthur's gaze was cast, the other party seemed to think of it, and looked over with horror, but he had lost too much blood, and he no longer had the strength to shout and beg Arthur to let him go.
Arthur lowered his head and didn't speak for a long time, there was Brooke's blood flowing on the ground, and after a few minutes, Arthur raised his head and said in a cold voice: "It's okay, it shouldn't be a waste." ”
In the cold basement, the two of them exchanged places with each other for eight hours, at this time, no one cared about Brooke's disappearance, disappeared on the way to school in the morning, with Brooke's usual appearance at school, he didn't show up at school for a day, it was nothing, and the family was even used to the child not returning at night, let alone caring about what he did at dusk.
"A thousand cuts, Ling Chi, is this the last 'gift' you left me?"
Arthur carried the knife and walked slowly towards the weakened Brooke.
