Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
"I told him that one day when he gets married, I'll give him six pounds."
Xiao Wu and Xiao Yong traveled through the capital together, became thieves together, and had a deep brotherhood. Later, Xiao Yong smuggled cigarettes and became a well-known entrepreneur, afraid that people would know that he was once a thief, so he didn't even notify Xiao Wu of getting married.
But Xiao Wu went anyway, taking his gift money with himβa handful of money he had stolen on the street. In the face of Xiao Yong's hesitation, he even said that the money was not clean, which made him feel that his friendship was gone.
"You've really changed!"
Chu Qing was gloomy drinking alone, with an old-fashioned wine cup and a plate of fried peanuts, and the TV in the hotel showed an interview with Xiao Yong on the county TV station, and the pop song "Heart Rain" with his friends from the Food Bureau for his newlywed.
He lit a cigarette and fiddled with the high-end lighter that Xiao Yong's family had taken.
"Good! Pass! β
Jia Zhangke shouted and slapped his face twice.
The shooting took place for three days and went very smoothly. The actors, scenes, cinematography, and scheduling are all unexpectedly smooth.
It was definitely a wise decision for him to set the story in his home base, and the people of Fenyang call making movies "juggling" movies, and in their opinion, movies are a very fun game.
The villagers are happy to help the crew "play" the movie, Chu Qing can obviously feel the incomparable enthusiasm of the locals, and Jia Zhangke has also received a lot of help from his former buddies.
What he couldn't get away with the most was that he arranged the dormitory of the cabaret lady in a high school classmate's new house, and he also had to tear down the walls of people's houses.
It made him feel guilty for a long time, and the reason why he was looking for that place was because the visual relationship between the house and the road outside was very interesting.
There are only a few night scenes in the whole film, so after the shooting plan is basically completed during the day, everyone is free to move around at night.
Fenyang is very small, and the most fashionable girls are still wearing clothes that were popular in the capital five years ago; The most luxurious buildings here are houses with white tiles on the walls, and there are many cars that are upside down, but few have four wheels.
On the second night of his arrival, Jia Zhangke took Chu Qing and the others to see what is said to be the place of Fenyang's new economic growth point: a small street of several hundred meters, with two-story buildings standing on both sides, and various names that have nothing to do with the county hanging on the door. For example, "Vienna", "Night Primrose", ......
Other well-dressed girls swaggered down the streets with a central or northeastern accent.
These scenes made everyone very misunderstood, and they all looked at Lao Jia with a strange look.
The heart looks at you like a dog, it turns out to be so dirty!
So Director Jia let himself go after his defense was invalid, why do you want to go, don't care, so as not to make a fuss.
Chu Qing doesn't like to play, so he basically watches TV in the room at night, or chats with Yu Liwei.
However, in the past two days, I have been fascinated by a local side dish, fried tofu with shrimp paste, and after having dinner with everyone, I also ran out to the small restaurant to satisfy my hunger.
Today's play is very important, who knows that it has been cloudy since the morning, and there is a light rain near noon.
The rain was not heavy, and it was annoying, and the filming was definitely not going to be carried out, so Jia Zhangke announced with a gloomy face that he would rest for a day.
This kind of small-budget movie, it will cost an extra foot of film to shoot one more piece, and it will cost an extra day to delay one more day, which cannot be afforded.
The rain fell all day and did not stop until evening.
The air outside is humid, and small inns that don't work with this kind of facilities are easy to get damp. Fortunately, Chu Qing expected this situation, so he went outside to get some quicklime, and each room was divided.
He touched the futon, and it was okay, although it was a little cold, at least it was very dry and could sleep. He put his mind at ease, in this kind of place, he didn't have to change the bedding if he wanted to.
"Qingzai, thanks to you, otherwise I would definitely get sick." Yu Liwei was also very satisfied and lay on the bed and chatted with Chu Qing.
His Chinese language is not standard, and after speaking, Chu Qing has to understand for a while before he can talk.
"My family used to live in an adobe house, but I'm used to it." Chu Qing said with a smile, there was a flurry of adjustments, and finally stopped at a channel where the TV series "Bao Qingtian" was broadcasting.
This is the most obsessed TV series in his youth, especially He Jiajin's red style, which is simply blinding, and has always been a model of a perfect hero in his mind.
Yu Liwei also glanced at it and said, "Huh? "Bao Qingtian", I also like to watch it, this is the Taiwan version, and the Hong Kong version is also good. β
Chu Qingqi said: "Hong Kong has also filmed "Bao Qingtian"? β
Yu Liwei said: "Of course, TVB...... It was filmed by TVB, and ATV was also filmed. I still like the wireless station, the actresses in it are beautiful enough! β
Chu Qing became interested and asked, "Oh? Who's in there? β
"Well, Jin Qun, He Jiajin have it, and there is ......"
Yu Liwei paused, and said tentatively: "Do you know Zhou Huimin? β
"I know, the head of the jade girl!"
"Where's Chen Songling?"
"Well, I know."
"Where's Kwan Yonghe?"
"I know, I like her play the most!"
I rub!
Yu Liwei's first reaction was that this grandson was bragging.
He knew that Zhou Huimin was still excusable, after all, he was very popular, but Chen Songling and Guan Yonghe, the two newly emerged Hua Dan, knew it, so it was a bit ridiculous. What's more, Big 6 is so strict with the introduction and management of film and television dramas, where did you know it?
If Chu Qing knew his inner activities, he would definitely be very disdainful, where else could he know it, of course, it was "Laughing at the Wind and Cloud", "Sister Tuogun" and "Miao Cuihua"!
I don't watch many movies, but I have a lot of treasures for TV series.
However, he really hasn't heard of this Hong Kong version of "Bao Qingtian", and it doesn't seem to have spread in later generations.
So the two had a heated discussion on the plot of this drama.
Chu Qing usually doesn't talk much, and when it comes to his favorite TV series, it's a set of things, you and I don't understand each other, although sometimes I don't understand what the other party says, but what I want is the atmosphere.
Before you know it, the night is deep.
While he was talking, he suddenly heard "knock knock", and someone knocked on the door outside.
Chu Qing asked, "Who?" β
"Me!"
Chu Qing heard Jia Zhangke's voice, put on his slippers and ran to open the door.
I saw Jia Zhangke standing at the door with a wine bottle in one hand and two plastic bags in the other.
"Lao Jia, what's the matter at such a late hour?" Chu Qing asked unceremoniously, after a period of contact, they have a very good relationship with a group of old men.
"It's nothing, I can't sleep and want to talk to someone, I originally wanted to go to Gu Zheng, passing by the two of you room, listening to the sound inside, just knock on the door and take a look." Jia Zhangke said.
"Where's Viagra?" Chu Qing asked.
"He fell asleep early, like a pig, and didn't call him."
Jia Zhangke shook the wine bottle in his hand and asked, "Drink some?" β
Chu Qing glanced back at Yu Liwei, and saw that he was also getting out of bed with his clothes on, and said with a smile: "Okay, on the hour!" β
The servants moved the coffee table as a table and placed it between the two beds, Jia Zhangke said, "I'll go and see if Gu Zheng is asleep." β
Chu Qing took the opportunity to pull the plastic bags, one bag was peanuts, and the other bag seemed to be chicken offal or something, mixed with coriander and spicy seeds, with a greasy aroma.
As soon as he threw a large piece of something that he didn't know if it was a intestine or a stomach into his mouth, Gu Zheng came in and shouted:
"Boy! Steal! β
Chu Qing smiled: "I eat openly." β
He is the youngest of them, and several people treat him as a younger brother, often joking, and usually taking care of him.
The four of them sat on the bed and found a large porcelain jar, a thermos lid and something like that as a wine glass, without chopsticks, and started directly.
One person poured some liquor, and then said that he would dry it first.
Yu Liwei obviously couldn't get used to drinking, choked on a sip, and coughed again and again: "What brand of wine is this, so spicy!" β
"What's the brand, loose wine." Jia Zhangke said.
Yu Liwei had never heard the word loose wine, Chu Qing explained it to him, and then he suddenly realized, but he was worried: "Can the quality of this wine meet the standard, is it not illegal?" β
The three of them glanced at each other, unable to explain to the Hong Kong man how vast the market for this loose liquor was in the country's countryside.
Jia Zhangke diverted the topic and said, "Viagra is the first time to come to this kind of small county." β
Yu Liwei sighed: "Well, the first time I came, I felt very surprised, I used to go to the capital and the magic capital, where the exhibition was very fast, high-rise buildings, extending in all directions, I didn't expect that there are such backward places in the mainland." β
Jia Zhangke sneered: "Those two places are the bonsai of this country, if you don't take it seriously, this is the most real." β
"Don't talk about your crooked reasoning again, come and drink!" As a classmate, Gu Zheng obviously knows him very well.
The four of them took another sip, and Gu Zheng said: "He is the axis, he loves to drill dead ends, and sooner or later he will have to suffocate himself to death." β
Jia Zhangke glanced at him, smiled, and didn't speak.
Gu Zhengxiang suddenly remembered a very interesting topic, and asked with great interest: "By the way, do you know what the name of this film was at the beginning?" β
"I don't know." Chu Qing shook his head.
"It's called "Jin Xiaoyong's buddy, Hu Haimei's family, Liang Changyou's son: Xiao Wu"!" Gu Zheng said this big list very proudly, which seemed to be something to be proud of.
"Poof!" Chu Qingzheng took a sip of wine, squirted, and stared at Lao Jia.
It's also called the name of the movie, it's outrageous!
Jia Zhangke defended: "This is not long, do you know that there is a movie in the UK called "When You Sue Me You Love Me, Why Should I Believe You, Because I already know that you have been lying all your life"? β
Yu Liwei continued: "I know this, so have you watched "Evil Mutant Alien Flesh-eating Hell Zombie Invasion of the Living Dead Horror Revenge Return to the Bride's Son The Night of the Dawn of the Day Part II: Horrific 2-D Version"? β
Chu Qing's head was big, and he asked, "What are you talking about?" β
"A movie." Gu Zhengdao.
"And such a long movie title? Isn't that pretty? "Chu Qing is like a curious baby.
Yu Liwei shook his head and said, "Big bad movie!" β
Gu Zheng smiled at Jia Zhangke: "Your title is short, just two words, so it must be a good film!" β
Jia Zhangke also smiled: "Isn't that one word better?" β
"That's right, for example, "Chaos"!" Gu Zhengdao.
"Knife!" Yu Liwei said.
"The Well!" Jia Zhangke said.
"The Road!" Gu Zhengdao.
"Evil!" Yu Liwei said.
"Spring!" Jia Zhangke said.
β¦β¦
These people had a lot of fun playing solitaire, and Chu Qing, who didn't know what he knew, drank alone.
Don't bring such a bully!
But soon the three of them felt that they had neglected Chu Qing and stopped playing childishly.
"Aoko, what's your favorite movie?" Jia Zhangke asked.
"I, I don't have anything to like."
Can Chu Qing say that his favorite movie is "Spider-Man", so he can only pretend to be stupid.
Jia Zhangke was a little incredulous: "You don't watch movies? β
Chu Qing said honestly: "I don't watch it much, I prefer to watch TV series." β
Jia Zhangke gave up talking to him, lowered his head and took a big sip of wine, half silent, and when he looked up again, his face was already red.
He said to Yu Liwei a little excitedly: "I took the film academy exam for three years, Gu Zheng took the exam for two years, and Wang Hongwei also took the exam for two years. Last year, we made a short film, and we only had 100 yuan left, and Wang Hongwei earned a lot of interest by playing mahjong all morning. I didn't expect us to be able to make a real movie today, viagra, thank you, thank you! β
Yu Liwei understood his feelings, patted him on the shoulder, picked up the lid of the thermos and the two of them.
With a "bang", Jia Zhangke slammed the cup on the coffee table very hard.
Chu Qing was startled, Gu Zheng waved his hand, and said, "It's okay, he's a little too much." β
Jia Zhangke seemed to be talking to himself, and seemed to be saying to the three people.
"Movies, it's a good thing, but it's not a thing." He asked, "Viagra, have you watched "Days of Winter and Spring"? β
"I saw it abroad, and I was amazed that a mainland director could make this kind of film. Especially the black and white image processing inside, it's really a good film! Yu Liwei praised from the bottom of his heart.
Jia Zhangke smiled bitterly: "But its director was banned because of this film!" β
βReadyοΌοΌ hyοΌ Yu Liwei was really surprised, and even came up with a sentence in English.
"Just because of the fuck...... Hmmm......"
Before he finished speaking, Gu Zheng covered his mouth, "It's okay, it's okay, he drank too much!" β
A few years ago, director Zhang Yuan took "Beijing Bastard" co-produced with Cui Jian to the Tokyo Film Festival without censorship, but encountered another delegation of "regular army" from China, and threatened Tokyo to refuse Zhang Yuan by withdrawing from the festival, but it did not succeed.
At the Rotterdam International Film Festival the following year, the two sides met again in a narrow way, and the tragedy was repeated.
This became the fuse for the whole incident.
After the crew became angry, they had to go home and ask their parents to help take revenge. So the relevant departments issued a paper about the ban on the directors of the seven films "Blue Kite", "Beijing Hybrid", "Wandering Beijing", "I Graduated", "Downtime", "Winter and Spring Days", and "Suspense".
The reason is that it was sent to foreign film festivals for private participation without censorship, which is about the famous "Seven Gentlemen Incident" of the sixth generation. β
Hey? There seems to be a strange fifth generation mixed in.
"On the day we went to rent equipment, we saw this text posted on the wall of the office, and everyone felt very uncomfortable." Gu Zheng explained.
"Alas!"
Yu Liwei still has some understanding, knowing that this is caused by the general environment, and his personal strength is minimal, so he can only sigh.
Chu Qing didn't understand the situation at all, looked left and right, and only felt that what they said seemed to be a very awesome thing.
A bottle of liquor can have a pound, but Jia Zhangke has a small amount of wine, and he can't hold it after drinking more than two taels. Gu Zheng asked him to lean against the bed, poured a cup of hot water, and slowed down.
Most of the rest was drunk by Gu Zheng, accompanied by Chu Qing in small sips, and Yu Liwei finally ate peanuts.
The three of them continued to talk, not talking about those bad things, but turned to a very pleasant topic, and then talked about the next shooting.
Tomorrow is going to shoot the heroine's scene, Chu Qing is also a little excited, after all, it is the first time to play against a girl, I don't know what it feels like.
Eating and drinking, from more than eight o'clock to more than eleven o'clock, Lao Jia's wine also woke up, and he was a little embarrassed about the gaffe just now.
I have to work tomorrow, and Yu Liwei, the oldest, will be dissolved.
Gu Zheng helped Jia Zhangke, who was still a little soft, back to the house, and Chu Qing cleaned up the mess and lay down on the bed.
But he couldn't sleep, and he always thought about what Lao Jia had just said in his head.
He always felt that Jia Zhangke was a very dull and quiet person, but he didn't expect to be so out of shape.
That kind of love is a very complex collection, anger, helplessness, unwillingness, love, persistence......
Although Chu Qing didn't understand, he seemed to be infected, and the blood in his body was actually faintly boiling.
Movies, movies, what the hell is it?
