Saying that, when he arrived backstage, when the executive director saw it, he hurriedly asked, "Mr. Chu, there are about five minutes left, how are you preparing?" ”

"Well, it shouldn't be a problem."

"Okay, you'll see what I'll do later." The director said.

"Understood!"

Chu Qing nodded, found a mirror to take a look, and felt that his outfit was a little dull, so he unbuttoned his suit and loosened the collar of his shirt, he was afraid that he would sweat later.

In front of the stage, just after presenting a Best Editing Award, Cai Kangyong was speaking alone:

"It's been 40 years since the Golden Horse Awards, and every year is a story to remember. For us filmmakers, our existence itself represents a certain period of the long river of film, and in the time that follows, it will be fragrant. Today, there are big seniors and big stars from across the Taiwan Strait and three places, and we invited a person to tell his own story. Although this person is very young, his experience is full of legends, and I believe it will bring us different surprises. Okay, now we have an invite, Mr. Chu Qing! ”

The voice landed, and after two seconds, Chu Qing appeared from the backstage, his shoulders were steady, his torso was straight, and he reached the center of the stage in a few big steps, with his hands behind his back, bending his waist forward, and saluting the audience at a ninety-degree angle.

"Whoa!"

Suddenly, the applause roared, there was appreciation, there was envy, there was confusion, and there was indifference.

After more than ten seconds, he waited for the momentum to subside, Fang took the microphone and said:

"When I received the invitation, I was actually very scared, and I asked them, what should I say? They tell me that you can say anything, you can say anything, you can say anything, you can say anything. After listening to it, I was even more panicked, so many seniors are here, what do I have to say, so I want to think about it. I can only talk about my own experience. Those who are older than me hope to be able to encourage each other, and those who are younger than me also hope to help. ”

He eased his breath, also gave everyone a little time to digest, and said: "I don't read much, graduated from junior high school, and came to the capital to work in my teens, washing dishes and delivering water." Handing out leaflets, working as coolies, trying a lot of work, the longest is collecting waste, oh, it seems to be called scavenging here......"

"Wow!"

The audience was stunned and whispered.

Not to mention Hong Kong and Taiwan, even mainland audiences don't know much about him, even if they think of his ordinary background. But as soon as these words came out, they were still beyond everyone's imagination.

Only very familiar friends like Lin Jiaxin and Liu Dehua can still remain calm.

"My first play was "Xiao Wu", which should be in early 97. That day, I squatted in front of the film academy, smoking the last cigarette, and was thinking about whether to go back to my hometown to make a living. Then I ran into Jia Zhangke, and he asked me. Do you want to make a movie? I sympathized with him at the time, and this man was either sick or desperate. will ask me to make a movie. ”

"Heh......"

The people below couldn't help but chuckle.

But I still agreed, because Jia Zhangke agreed to give me 2,000 yuan as a salary. I still remember his expression, like buying a cabbage at the market. At that time, I didn't know what it meant to make a movie, let alone how to act, so I could only play the thief according to my own understanding. For example......

As he spoke, he suddenly shrunk his shoulders, his fingers slightly open, and took a few small steps on the stage, and then his eyes flashed from side to side, as if looking for prey.

"Maybe lucky, the effect of "Xiao Wu" is very good. Of course, Jia Zhangke took all the credit to himself, saying that when he saw me squatting on the ground and smoking that day, he looked confused, lacking love, and thinking about where to steal. ”

"Haha!"

The crowd laughed again, and one by one they stared at the man as he slowly told the story.

"Later, when I made "Huanzhu Gege", I still didn't understand the concept of acting, I just regarded it as a job that I was more interested in and could make money. It wasn't until '98 that I took over "Suzhou Creek". This is probably the film that influenced me the most, and it was from this that I really had the desire to be an actor. Here I would like to thank Miss Zhou Xun, I still remember that scene: I was riding a motorcycle, and she came out of the wooden door and looked at me. At this glance, my whole person suddenly felt it, that kind of inside out. It's hard to describe, it's like walking a long way blindfolded, and suddenly someone tears off the black cloth, and you see the world again. ”

Chu Qing walked from here to there, and under the brilliant lights, he could only see the nearest person, and there was a bright hall in the distance. But it did not prevent him from looking back and introspecting with an unprecedented sincerity and awe.

"Ever since Suzhou Creek, I've loved this feeling, obsessed with skills, obsessed with opponents, obsessed with beautiful things. I found myself getting more and more hungry and thirsty, and I hope that it will become more and more unlimited, from "The Devil is Coming" to "Platform", from "Anyang Baby" to "Lan Yu", all the way, it can be said that this hunger * thirst is driven behind. I even thought that this was the principle of acting, and I planned to go on with it. But thankfully, I came across "The Blind Well" again. ”

Holding a microphone in his right hand, he paced around the stage in a low tone, and said: "There was a scene during the filming of "Blind Shaft", we had just come up from the bottom of the mine, and it didn't take long for the shaft to collapse, and the two miners were crushed by stones and died on the spot. And just a few minutes ago, they made a cameo appearance in the film, talking and laughing with us, and bringing me pickles from their hometown to eat...... The two lives disappeared in an instant, and our entire crew was close to collapse, and it took a long time to return to normal. ”

The people below were completely silent, and they all listened carefully to this behind-the-scenes story, after all, movies like "Blind Well" are too rare in the Hong Kong and Taiwan markets. The audience is shocked enough just by looking at the subject matter, who would have thought that there would be more real grief behind it.

"I had a miserable time, and when I closed my eyes, it was as if I could see the blood in the well. Then, I suddenly felt that my previous ideas were too naïve. ”

Chu Qing stopped in the center and faced the audience, suddenly opened his mouth, made a laughing expression, and said, "You may be happy in the play." ”

In the next second, laughter turned into sorrow.

"You might be sad too."

Then, sorrow is replaced by happiness.

"You might feel love."

In the blink of an eye, happiness turned into depression.

"You may also experience despair."

His voice was warm, soft, and murmuring like a stream, "It's not just an expression or an action, but different stories hidden in different lives, and I have the opportunity to feel, figure out, and experience." Respect for them, respect for life, I think that's the most wonderful thing you have as an actor. ”

As soon as the words fell, he began to walk back and forth again, and at the same time his tone changed, saying: "Because of this, "The Blind Well" was a success in Berlin, and I was very lucky to get an award. But when I came back from Berlin, it was all different. Because in the past six months, the most frequent thing I have suffered from is that people have been asking me, hey, how much has your salary increased? ”

"Poof!"

Everyone couldn't help but laugh, this one was a little too daring to speak.

"I didn't know what to do with it, and I felt like I was slowly moving away from my old life. Until a few days ago, I had a casual chat with Mr. Chen Zhiming, and he said that the best state with this industry is to leave immediately, because this is already your profession, don't let your profession sleep with you anymore. ”

Chu Qing bent the corners of his mouth and said with a smile: "This is probably Mr. Chen's ideal life, and what is even more rare is that he does what he says." I didn't practice enough, but I also figured out a truth for myself. We all say that a generation of actors raises a generation of audiences, no matter how great an actor is, don't expect all people to follow you, and you also have to face the continuous erosion of the professional environment and survival value. ”

"But we have those who grow with us. Just like Teacher Ge Xiangting and Teacher Ling Bo, to say something offensive, young people may not know you, but in the hearts of many audiences, you are still the best, because everyone has gone through the best era together. So I feel now that as an actor, it's a good thing to be able to grow old with the generation of audiences who like me. Thank you! ”

After speaking, he put his feet together, his hands behind his back, and bent his waist forward, and saluted at a ninety-degree angle.

“……”

Silence, no applause, there is still appreciation, there is envy, there is confusion, and there is indifference. But at this moment, everyone is looking in one direction, where the green pines are full of eyes and the top of the mountain is tall.

(for love...... (To be continued......)
