Winter, alley.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Wang Luodan was covered in snow foam, riding the tattered bicycle, and appeared at the mouth of the plain and deserted alley. This appearance, the oligowhite tone of the whole picture instantly became vivid and dexterous.

She entered a small courtyard with an eccentric old lady. The first time she saw each other, she didn't like each other very much, because the small house, which could only be used as a warehouse, actually rented herself 200 yuan.

Wang Luodan plays an art school student, and he doesn't even have his full name, just called Xiaoma.

She has neat short hair, bangs cover her forehead, take a step, and let out a sigh, her whole body is full of youthful turmoil. Clean the windows and sweep the floor, buy things, and try to make the house like a place for people to live.

The old lady worked in a revolution when she was young, never married in her life, and only adopted a daughter. She looked at the tossing and turning little girl inside, and the whole yard seemed to come alive.

She couldn't turn on the frozen faucet, so she shouted in the house, "Pony! Douse with hot water! ”

She wanted to borrow the refrigerator, but she was shouting again: "You buy me a big carp, and I'll let you use it!" ”

She secretly bought an electric heater, and she was still shouting: "I'm telling you, the entire alley is out of power, such an old house will catch fire, you want to burn me to death!" I still pay the fine for you, you go to the police station to sign it, and you will move out for me within a week when you come back! ”

……

Despite the constant quarrels, the pony finally stayed, and from winter to spring, from spring to summer. Two people who had never known each other were also quietly warming each other in getting along day by day.

She would get drunk, go home with a white bear doll, and smirk: "Look, does it look like you?" ”

She would stuff the lunch box directly into the refrigerator and listen to the complaints coming from behind her: "It's not like words! You used to say a word, but now you don't even say hello. The fridge is yours? ”

When it was hot, she would run to someone's house and lay down on the small bed, and the old lady would sit opposite and nag: "This is your home, what do you want to do, and you can't kick me out in the future?" When he first arrived, he was wearing a military coat, his face was red from the cold, and he was pitiful, 'Please, please.' Cheaper', now, huh! ”

The pony is in love, the pony is out of love, the pony is happy today, the pony is unhappy today...... One person's affairs, but because of some wonderful bond, tightly tugged at the emotions of another person.

Then, it was autumn.

Pony graduates. Decorate your new home with your boyfriend. The old lady also had to leave the old house where she had lived for decades and move far, far away in order to make room for her grandson's wedding.

One day, the pony was riding the light rail. Changing buses, then passenger cars, bumpy all the way to the suburbs. She took a step like she did a year ago. With a sigh of relief, he recklessly broke through the door.

The seriously ill old lady sat up in an instant and grabbed her hand. I couldn't stop crying. His voice was hoarse and choked, and he couldn't speak, and he couldn't shout anymore:

"Ponies! Colt! ”

At the end of the year, the girl who was on the street suddenly received a phone call. She paused, silent, and the whole world seemed to come to an abrupt halt.

She knew that the old man had gone......

On October 25th, the first hall of Virgin Toho Studios in Tokyo was packed. In the last few minutes, Ma Liwen, Wang Luodan, the audience, the Chinese and Japanese press corps, everyone was crying.

The story of "The Two of Us" is not tense and intense, just like the accumulation and twists and turns that you may have encountered in life.

The recklessness and clarity of the pony, the stubbornness and loneliness of the old lady, and the decaying blue-brick courtyard...... These fragmentary shots, but slowly come together, making people warm, soft, and indescribably painful.

"Whoa!"

Half a minute after the screen was dark, the audience burst into applause. Ma Liwen pulled Wang Luodan to the front of the stage, sat on a high chair, and began the routine Q&A meeting.

The company attaches great importance to this trip, and Miss Cheng, who has rarely shown up, personally accompanies her, acting as the person in charge of the film and the translator.

Speaking of this year's Tokyo Film Festival, "The Two of Us" was shortlisted for the main competition unit, and Ning Hao's "Green Meadow" and Liu Xiaoning's "Man on the Road" also participated as screening works.

However, all the media's eyes are on "Riding Alone for a Thousand Miles" and another shortlisted mainland film "Loaches Are Fish".

In fact, Zhang Yi wanted to go to Venice to participate in the exhibition, but Tokyo strongly invited him, and even smashed the jackpot of the chairman of the jury. Lao Mouzi couldn't push it, so he had to come to repay the favor.

As a result, the Tokyo International Film Festival has become an overseas annual meeting for Chinese-language films.

In this case, "The Two of Us", which has the least backstage and the most dishful background, is naturally gorgeous and ignored. But hey, what the company does best is to win prizes! Brush up on word of mouth! All sorts of slaps in the face of the media!

This time is no exception, just looking at the audience's reactions, Miss Cheng has a spectrum in her heart. And when they came to the stage, the media group clicked the machine, and it officially began.

Wang Luodan just graduated this year, a young chick, she has never seen this kind of battle, and she is particularly twisted. But those viewers still loved this short-haired little girl to death, and asked questions like a cannonball.

It was easy to survive two rounds before a Japanese reporter stood up and said: "Hello director, I have two questions, the first is why didn't the old man in the film come?" The second is that magical seasonal transformation effect, what special effects are used to make it? ”

After Cheng Ying finished translating, Ma Liwen said: "Teacher Jin Yaqin is 84 years old, she is not in good health, so for the sake of prudence, she stayed in China. ”

She paused, and then said, "As for the second question, I want to explain that it took more than a year for this film to be completed. So what you're seeing isn't computer stunts, it's real effects shot on film. ”

"Wow!"

There was a soft shout from below, and then he applauded again, paying tribute to the filmmaker in front of him.

Then, a middle-aged audience member seized the opportunity and got up and said, "Thank you for letting me see such a movie, I want to talk to you about my understanding of this film...... The relationship between the two of them went from rejection and vigilance to mutual care and friendship. But for this quadrangle, she was only a short-lived passerby. The girl was destined to leave and go on with her life, and it was her departure that made the old man's hope vanish......"

"Well, I don't think I can say that."

Ma Liwen thought for a moment, and responded with great interest: "Human life is very long, and there will be many things, some of which will inevitably become memories and some of which will be forgotten. But the word passerby, I feel too objective, too indifferent. Because even if you are a stranger, the moment you meet, you still have it. ”

"For example, when I was in school, I rented a house from a lonely old lady. The little things that happened in the film are my personal experience. And a few years ago, I happened to hear that the old lady had died. Actually, I can't remember what she looked like, but I wrote this story down with memories and guilt. ”

"So I believe that no one is a passerby, and that's something worth remembering for you."

……

On October 30, the 18th Tokyo Film Festival closed.

In addition to the highest cherry blossom award, the tacit gift to the Japanese movie "Wish to the Snow" has been a great harvest for Chinese films.

Hou Xiaoxian won the Kurosawa Akira Award, and there was no honor, but the reward of 100,000 US dollars was real. "Loaches Are Fish" swiped a consolation prize, called the Best Artistic Achievement Award. And "The Two of Us" produced by our two companies once again habitually counterattacked, and the old lady killed Sister Ni and won the crown of Best Actress.

Zhang Yi not only presented the award in person, but also was quite emotional on the shelf: "I only knew that she was an old qualified stage actor, but I didn't expect that she could win this award for the first time when she acted in a movie at the age of 84." All the judges were touched by her performance, and they unanimously voted for it. ”

As for the two films "Green Meadow" and "Man on the Road", they were also favored by Ichikawa Shozo and bought out the copyright. Although the price is not too high, the cost is low, which is a small profit. (To be continued......)
