Chapter 118: This Summer
"Not bad, not bad!"
In the practice room, after Chu Qing sang "Platform", Mr. Jiang slapped his hands and praised: "You are making rapid progress." ”
"I vomited all day listening to songs, and I didn't make any progress anymore." Chu Qing picked up the mineral water bottle, took a sip of water, and said in the sun. He has been practicing for two weeks, and this is the second time he has reported on the performance, and it feels really different, and he feels quite reliable.
"Your current level, it's okay to go to KTV, you can bluff people." Teacher Jiang said with a smile.
"Bluff just this, it's boring." Chu Qing looked left and right and said, "That girl didn't come today?" ”
"They've got a show."
"Hey, how's her combo doing?" He asked casually.
Mr. Jiang couldn't help but dismantle his company's platform, shook his head, and said, "No, we don't have a music market, and the boss is engaged in Japanese things, and he can't eat them in China at all." ”
"Oh." Chu Qing nodded, not interested in half a dime, and asked again: "Then what do you think, can I become a teacher, or do I have to practice again?" ”
"If you just sing this, then it's fine."
"I'm relieved when you say that!" Chu Qing said with a smile: "Teacher Jiang, I really have to thank you this time, otherwise I would still be blind." As he spoke, he took out an envelope from his pocket and stuffed it into his hand.
"Hey, what are you doing, I've just taken two classes, and you've worked your own. This, forget it, you hurry up and take it back. Teacher Jiang hurriedly refused.
"Don't see outside, you must take it, I'm embarrassed if you don't accept it."
The two of them pushed and shoved in a fake way, and finally grabbed him in his hands.
"Then I'll go first, and I'll get in touch when I have time." Chu Qing said with a smile.
"Okay, and if you want to learn to sing, don't forget to introduce me." Teacher Jiang sent it to the door and waved his hand.
Seeing him flash out of the door, his back slowly disappeared in the corridor before returning to the classroom. Glanced at it, then opened the envelope. I took out a thin stack of new coins, counted them, eight hundred, and shrugged my shoulders, not too much, not too little.
Today, Chu Qing didn't wear a down jacket, so he put on a coat and stepped on a pair of black casual cotton shoes. It's still Fan Xiaoye just bought it. One black and one red, couple.
She is now dressing up as a boyfriend, and she always likes to put on cold clothes, such as black, dark blue, and navy blue. But he often wears a bright red or warm orange color.
As if deliberately, where the two of them go, the colors are distinct. Cold Men and Warm Women......
Finally got one thing, Chu Qing was also relieved, and as soon as he got out of the door, he had to call Jia Zhangke. Lao Jia really let him sing a few words into his mobile phone. After listening to the effect, it was euphemistically expressed, and it was acceptable.
It is said that after Jia Zhangke returned to the capital, he began to live like an otaku again. The winter material for "Platform" was quickly ok. It's about eighty minutes long, which is about the length of a movie.
The finished film looks very good, similar to what Lao Jia imagined when he was shooting on the spot. The lens is clean and unpretentious, and there is a bit of a faint sense of history. This gave everyone a lot of confidence, especially the Japanese and French producers, that they could sell for a good price.
The investor, no matter how great the slogan is, supports high-quality films and supports new directors Shenma, in fact, the purpose is to make money. There is also a market for literary films, especially in a forced concentration like Europa, good films don't worry about it at all, and what they earn is face-saving money.
They are willing to pay money to help you shoot it, because they think that your film can be sold, not to engage in some kind of "literary and artistic coffee relief brotherhood" when they are full.
is different from the route of "Xiao Wu", "Platform" has been good from the start of filming to the present, all of which indicate that this will be a very sloppy blockbuster.
Just a few days ago, news came from France that the selection of films from the Cannes Film Festival would be happy to invite the film to this year's festival, but it must be completely completed one month before the opening of the film festival. This news made Lao Jia's team very excited, which means that it can get the best promotion in business.
But after Jia Zhangke's excitement, he began to hesitate, he didn't want his shooting plan to be disrupted by a film festival. Counting the countdown every day in order to hand over my fate to that illusory film festival, there is a special sense of anger that I have been kidnapped.
Because there is no shadow of the script in the second half of the film, no one knows what kind of story Jia Zhangke has in his heart, and no one knows how long it will take to complete.
His ideal country is to include the four seasons, and at this time, only winter and a small part of autumn are completed. Without the spring scenes to reconcile, the film would seem impetuous and shallow.
Therefore, Lao Jia thought about it, but he was still willing to wait, wait for the stone in his heart to be completely removed, and wait for the fresh branches to grow on the tree in spring, and then bloom.
As for Cannes, let it play with eggs!
Chu Qing didn't know how a director who had only completed one and a half works had the courage to refuse Cannes. But he was not surprised, because he had known that this little man with squinting eyes was like the old vinegar in his hometown, choking sourly.
Chu Qing had another headache.
……
In the rental house, on the mattress, Fan Xiaoye was rolling around with the quilt.
It was already noon, and she hadn't gotten up yet, nor was she sleeping, just the cat was humming in the bed. Suddenly, I heard the sound of keys outside the door, so I put on a pair of house pants with a very fast degree, and pulled my slippers to meet the door.
"I'm starving!"
She was like a little baby, and she seemed to choke on her throat even when she drank saliva from him.
"Hurry up and eat it, it's still hot." Chu Qing put a plastic bag on the table.
The girl rummaged, opened the lunch box, looked at the dishes, picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into her mouth, and asked, "Are you going to the store?" ”
"Well, Xiaoying asked me to look at the account of the first half of the month." He went into the kitchen and washed her chopsticks.
Fan Xiaoye didn't wash his hands either, he ate it when he took it, and said indifferently: "She will gather it by herself, what are we worried about." ”
Chu Qing smiled, took off his coat, hung it on the hanger in the bedroom, looked at the scattered quilt, and shook his head.
"You're going to film soon, have you thought about it?" He folded the quilt, picked up the script next to the pillow, and twisted off a few heads on it.
"Gee, I'll think about it again."
"It's been a week. Still thinking about a fart? ”
The girl ran in with a lunch box and said depressedly: "Who, who knows what kind of film it is!" ”
After meeting Li Yu that night, the two of them returned home and read the script together, but the more they watched, the more sweaty they became.
This film is called "This Summer", which sounds very fresh, but the content is very depressing. The three main characters in it are all women, but they are still in a triangular relationship. Love and kill each other. Li Yu's writing is okay, at least the warm and obscure emotions between them are written clearly and thoroughly.
The two really didn't expect it to be such a genre film, it was like opening the door to a new world for them, and they felt fresh and weird.
At the beginning, Fan Xiaoye was still a little blind, and he was stupidly analyzing the role, but later he reacted and was scared. Especially thinking of Li Yu's eyes when he looked at her. I feel like a little white lamb, if I really want to join the group, maybe one day I will be eaten by her on the bed.
This is a big impact on her normal life in the past 20 years. But after the horror. Calm down again, because this book does have something appealing.
Three women, Xiaoqun, Xiaoling and Junjun. The approximate relationship is that Junjun is Xiaoqun's ex-girlfriend, and Xiaoling is Xiaoqun's current girlfriend.
Li Yu didn't write a very bloody tearing battle. Rather, it is full of compassion and helplessness. She deliberately expresses the marginalization of this group in society, as well as her own sense of alienation from society.
For example, Xiaoqun is an elephant keeper at a zoo, while Xiaoling has opened a stall selling clothes of her own design. These professions, even in the eyes of later generations, are very strange and lonely beings.
The most marginalized is Junjun, who was raped by his father when he was a child, and the idea of killing him has been entangled in his head. Later, she slept with a cop, stole a gun, and finally killed the scumbag.
She ran back to find the group she had been with, and the group hid her in her duty room. In the end, when Xiao Qun and Xiao Ling are having crazy sex, she is at the zoo and surrounded by a group of policemen......
This kind of character design is of course extreme, but from the perspective of the role itself, it is a rare opportunity for actors to brush up on experience.
There are at least two elements to determine the quality of a character: tension and time.
Let's talk about tension first, in fact, every character has its brilliance. The difference is that the characteristics of the protagonist have been written in the script, but the supporting characters have to dig out deeper things by themselves, and this excavation process is understanding, followed by hard work.
Then there is the time, the protagonists and supporting roles we delineated, as well as the dragon set, to put it bluntly, it is the amount of time to appear on the camera, which is more important.
is like Wu Gang, like Feng Shen Yinde, even if Chu Qing analyzes the characters thoroughly, if he is only given time for one scene, it will be like the priest played by Zhou Xingxing in "The King of Comedy", he can't die if he dies.
The so-called no small roles, only small actors, that's all. There are only two kinds of people who will say this, one is successful and famous, and the other is not able to survive, and they are all deceiving themselves.
And the role of Junjun is a good character with both tension and time.
Fan Xiaoye is not stupid, she knows that she can't play an ignorant girl for the rest of her life, and she knows what kind of opportunity she should seize. This girl's heart is already ready to move, but the difference is that she is still a little hesitant about the identity of a lesbian.
Chu Qing is also very eccentric, his girlfriend wants to play a lala?
Of course, it's not annoying, and there's no such pain as being ntr, but it's quite complicated, and he doesn't want to admit that he still has a little expectation for the girl's appearance.
"Oh, do you think I can't act?" After the girl finished eating, she kept grinding after him.
"You can act if you want to, and if you don't want to act, you won't act, as for being so entangled?" Chu Qing poked at the door of the bathroom, more disturbing than her.
"I want to act."
"Then you act!"
"But I'm afraid of ......" Fan Xiaoye just muttered, and saw her boyfriend roll up his sleeves, ready to put her on the ground and spank her, hurriedly shut up, blinked, and flattered: "That, have you packed your luggage?" Do you need me to send you? ”
“…… Sister, I still have two days to leave! ”
"Ahh Oh yes. Fan Xiaoye pretended to be surprised, and grinned: "Then, then you can bring me a prize back." ”
Chu Qing looked at her, sighed, suddenly stretched out his arm, picked her up, lifted her feet, pressed his face to the ground, and said softly: "What about you, do whatever you want, don't be afraid, don't worry, I'm definitely next to you." (To be continued......)
