Datong is a very sexy city......

Click!

Well, to be exact, Jia Zhangke thinks that Datong is a very sexy city.

At the beginning of this year, he came here to shoot a documentary called "Public Place", but he was fascinated by this gray and cold border city.

It is surrounded by mining areas that were left over from the period of industrial construction, and in addition to laid-off workers and countless ruins, there are also decaying square buildings.

Lao Jia is a broad-minded guy after all, he is moved by those dead buildings, and finds that a certain alienating atmosphere in the city sky is in great contrast with the inexplicably excited crowd on the ground.

Tut! It's good to have a contrast, Ya was immediately excited, and immediately decided to make a feature film and set out to write a synopsis of the story.

After the foundation of "Xiao Wu" and the publicity of "Platform", this product is no longer a literary and art seller who owes people's wages. threw out the new film plan and found a lot of international funds, but he still chose Takeshi Kitano, who has always been happy to work with.

It took only two weeks for Ichikawa to raise investment from the three countries, and he increased it at will.

So, in April, Lao Jia took Yu Liwei to select the scene, and when he was busy with the work at hand, it was already the beginning of July, and he led his old partners into the dilapidated streets of Datong.

are all acquaintances, assistant director Gu Zheng, cinematographer Yu Liwei, art Liang Jingdong, consultant Lin Xudong, heroine Zhao Tao...... Except for the two male leads, they are young brothers from the local area, and they have no acting experience at all.

This made the entire crew very uncomfortable, including the director, because they were used to watching a certain pervert sway wantonly in front of the camera, instead of watching the two recruits stumble and even have to teach in a good position.

The concept of "Let It Go" is very simple, it is a story about teenagers who are at a loss and cruel under the pressure of social change, and want to fight against the adult world by themselves.

Jia Zhangke is 31 years old. It seems to have precipitated a lot, but in fact it is more acute.

In this film, he abandoned his usual realistic approach and switched to a psychedelic and weird style, but that bad habit remained the same: there was never a complete script, and the actors were tormented by the fact that they could shoot wherever they wanted.

It's easy to get through a month, he doesn't know what kind of trick he smoked, and suddenly added another scene. integrated the character of Xiao Wu into the film.

Lao Jia's explanation is that it can make the whole film realistic and dramatic, with a hint of ridicule. Gu Zheng and Yu Liwei were dismissive, they understood too well that this product was just not used to being in their movies, and there was no one in them.

……

In the afternoon, the intersection.

There was a caravan parked on the side, certainly not the gypsy kind, but a large truck that looked like Optimus Prime. The long and wide carriage is transformed into a simple stage when it is unfolded.

Generally, township enterprises that engage in promotional activities prefer to use this kind of car.

At the moment, in the stuffy carriage. Squeezed four or five people, Lao Jia sat on a chair outside the car, staring at the monitor in front of him.

Zhao Tao's character is a dancer who sells alcohol, and her boyfriend's name is Qiao San. opened a small winery, dragged her around, and danced unreliable folk dances. Then Balabala said a set of words and promoted liquor.

In fact, it also belongs to the acupuncture, that is, it is a little more advanced than Cui Mingming's era.

In the camera, Zhao Tao wanted to go out, but Qiao San reached out and grabbed her.

The woman broke free and tried to rush out again, but the man blocked again.

Again and again, again and again...... It's a long, long shot, twelve times to break free, twelve times to block, and the woman goes from expressionless to silently crying.

"Click, over!"

Lao Jia shouted, took off the headset, and was very satisfied with Zhao Tao's expression. She's not the best actress in acting, but she's definitely the best one for her own movie.

This scene is very important, and after only three shots, he can't help but be a little more relaxed. Raised his wrist and looked at his watch, the time was almost up, and he was about to ask, but suddenly saw the car door open, Yu Liwei jumped down, and said first: "Has anyone arrived?" ”

"I guess it's going to be soon, Lao Gu has already gone to pick it up."

"The bus is just slow."

Yu Liwei put away the opportunity, sighed with emotion, and said: "When he first arrived in Hong Kong, he asked me to drink back, and he didn't look very proud, but now I don't know how." ”

"He doesn't have to worry about us, he's tenacious." Jia Zhangke said with a smile.

As the two of them were talking, they saw a Xiali car turn from the corner of the street and stop with a clatter.

"This place, huh!"

Chu Qing got out of the car and began to nag, fanned hard with his hand, and said, "The ash is also too big." ”

"Don't be hypocritical, if you go to Hong Kong for a few months, you will look down on the mainland of the motherland?" Gu Zheng was busy complaining.

He didn't bother to take care of it, hugged the two of them, and said with a smile: "Why didn't you shoot in Fenyang this time?" ”

"A change of environment is good for thinking."

Lao Jia pointed to his head and asked unceremoniously: "Can you go to the play?" ”

"Big brother, I just got off the plane in the middle of the night, and I didn't even see my girlfriend, so I ran over here, a little bit of humanity, is it good!" His face was full of resentment, and he said, "Why don't I have to eat a meal first, take a shower, and get some sleep." ”

…………

Chu Qing slept until night, which was considered to relieve his physical fatigue.

After that, Lao Jia, Gu Zheng and Yu Liwei came to look for it again, and this four-person group that had been formed since 97 reunited and went to the small restaurant to eat and drink as usual.

"I said Qingzi, what are you doing in Hong Kong, do you have any filming?" After three rounds of drinking, Gu Zheng blushed slightly and asked.

"Shoot."

Chu Qing didn't drink much, and said with a smile: "Well, there are three, but they are all small supporting roles." ”

"Do you know any friends?"

"Does Liu Dehua count?"

"Okay, boy!"

Gu Zheng immediately became energetic, children who grew up in China, as long as they were born after the 70s, look at mainland stars and Hong Kong stars, they have two concepts at all.

How do you think that the world's big names are in Hong Kong, very far away, especially awesome.

"Hey, what kind of movies did you make?" Lao Jia doesn't care about Liu Dehua, he only cares about this bit of.

"It's all commercial films, just the kind we watched when we were kids, crackling......"

Although he used an incoherent adjective, the other party still understood in seconds and said, "No one asked you to shoot anything else?" ”

"The number of literary films in Hong Kong is small, and they are not concerned, and there are only a few that can be released in a year." It was Yu Liwei who accosted him.

"Well, yes, it's still mainly commercial films over there, and the performance style is very exaggerated, I just went and didn't adapt to it, but now it's okay, I feel a little assimilated." Chu Qing continued.

"Yo, do you still remember how to act?" Gu Zheng joked.

"Tsk! That's what I said. ”

He was instantly unhappy and said, "Stretch out your hand and come!" ”

"Don't blow it!"

"If you don't believe it, let's try!"

"Try it, try it! Lao Jia? ”

“……”

Jia Zhangke looked at the two stupid* people arguing, extremely speechless, and said, "Everyone else is asleep, let's talk about it tomorrow." ”

"Why, without a monitor, without the help of dozens of people, you still can't make a film?"

Gu Zheng stretched out his fingers, nodded them one by one, and continued: "Assistant director, director, cinematographer, actor, all there!" When we filmed "Xiao Wu", didn't we just do it? ”

He drank the most, and he was excited, which seemed to be like a drunken madness.

Lao Jia couldn't help it, so he glanced at Yu Liwei, who shrugged his shoulders and said it didn't matter.

(Ren Xiaoyao's source can't be found, so he can only write it based on his memory from a few years ago.) Today I am unwell, I have crazy diarrhea, and there are fewer words, so sad. (+_+) ~~)(To be continued ......)
