Wang Tong bent his legs, put his arms on his knees, and gently bit the tips of his thumbs.

"Actually, it doesn't matter if it's good or not." She imitated Chu Qing's appearance and said in a low voice: "That's it, born, grown, work, and then come out to film...... Anyway, it doesn't matter if it's good or bad, it's just normal filming. ”

The tone and demeanor are all right, but what's going on with the corners of your mouth that can't hold back?

Chu Qing had a black line in his head, and spoke loudly to her for the first time: "Don't you learn from me, let me ask you!" ”

"What are you shouting at me?" Wang Tong blinked, patted his head, and said, "Hurry up and smoke your cigarette, I'll give me one later, I'm sleepy." ”

She still dodged after all, and after saying that, she stood up, patted her skirt, and turned the corner.

Chu Qing popped out the cigarette butt that was still a small piece left, looked at the unextinguished fire stubbornly panting on the ground, suddenly stood up and took a few steps forward, and stepped on it hard. Then he sighed, stretched his arm, which was a little stiff by the cold of the night, and turned around the corner of the wall with light and dark.

"Oh yes, I'll take you to a nice place in a minute."

When the shooting restarted, she held half a glass of wine in her right hand, stuck it to her face, and smiled.

"Where?" Chu Qingqing also eased up and waved his normal lines.

"You'll know when you go." She lowered her voice and nodded, with an expression that definitely didn't lie to you.

"Yes." Chu Qing turned around and shouted, "Miss, settle the bill." ”

The real proprietress of this hotel entered the mirror and said, "Forty-one." ”

He took out a stack of money, carefully pulled out a few, and said with a smile: "Let's go." ”

"Thank you." Wang Tong carried the bag, got up, and followed him out of the store. It was only then that the camera finally gave them both a frontal close-up, and then disappeared into the night.

…………

Capital. In a small screening room of Beijing Film Studio, a sample film is being played on the small screen.

The first thing that catches your eye is a ten-meter-high city wall, with a thick rammed bottom, and white ash covered city bricks wrapping around the outer wall.

The composition of this picture is very unique, with two small people, a man and a woman, standing at the bottom of the high city wall, sticking to the sealed city gate hole. They move around in a fixed range. Waving his arms from time to time, he could tell that he was talking, but there was no sound inside, like a strange mime.

The film was not long, and at the end of five minutes, the lights in the room came on, illuminating the three people in the seats.

"That actor's pants are wrong, how can there be no such style." A middle-aged man with glasses and a half-bald head spoke, "And." It seems that the acting is a little worse......" He changed his euphemistic way and continued: "Actually, it's not bad, but compared to the actress, the rhythm seems very chaotic." ”

Jia Zhangke leaned in his chair. His eyes were swollen severely, and he was already showing signs of premature aging before he was thirty, and said with a smile: "Teacher Lin, don't worry, he is the second male." It's just a temporary ride, my actor is filming outside, and he can't spare time. ”

"Oh. Is that the one who played "Xiao Wu"? ”

"Yes, that's him."

This person's name is Lin Xudong, he is the consultant of the new play "Platform", he is a painter by profession, and he is engaged in film research by the way. Because the background of the film is in the 80s, many details have to highlight the sense of age, Jia Zhangke can't do it all by himself, and he needs to make up for any mistakes.

This year, for Lao Jia, is incomparably long, bitter and gloomy. What's even more terrifying is that he can't do anything but wait.

After the ban was issued at the beginning of the year, Shanghai Film Studio, which originally maintained its intention to cooperate, directly allowed the project to hit the street, and did not have the time and energy to move around for him.

Lao Jia waited until the middle of the year, and when he saw that it was really hopeless, he returned to the capital and contacted Beijing Film Studio. After all, the roots are red, located in the center, and it is closer to a certain bureau.

At that time, several influential people in the factory liked this book very much and were willing to run for him. For example, Shi Dongming, the deputy director of the factory, and Tianzhuang Zhuang.

It is said that Grange Zhuang has been banned for ten years since 92 because of "Blue Kite", which is unique among all abused directors. He had an empty title of the fifth generation, but he couldn't make films, so he had to turn his love for movies to support young directors. continuously served as the producer in the films of Wang Xiaoshuai, Lu Xuechang, Zhangming and others, and dredged up the relationship and brought them funds from the factory.

It can even be said that the experimental films of these sixth-generation main forces can get semi-official funding, which is all his credit.

It is precisely because of the strong support of these two that Lao Jia once rekindled hope. After all, what he made was a matter of this land, and he desperately hoped that his films could be disseminated in China, not just on a small scale for academic screening.

But the only thing he could do was wait.

Just two months ago, some more optimistic news came from there, and at that time, Lao Jia began to start preparations for the new film. The filmmaker's funds have been in place, the team has been set, and the actors have been selected, and everyone thought that they would get the filming permit soon, but two months have passed, and there is still no news.

Lao Jia still remembers the very, very sorry appearance of Grange Zhuangzhuang, as well as the regret and helplessness for this movie that was destined not to be released from the beginning.

It was only at this time that Jia Zhangke finally understood his naivety and naivety. He pulled a few people and ran to Pingyao to start the first test shooting, a few days of simple rehearsals, and the result was this five-minute sample.

"That's good, that's good." Lin Xudong obviously knew the legendary male protagonist, nodded, and said with a smile: "That actress is not bad, professional?" ”

"No, it's just a dance teacher."

As the two were talking, they heard someone knock lightly on the door, and the assistant director Tao Jun, who had been silent, got up and opened the door, and saw Gu Zheng striding in with a leather bag.

"I'm sorry that there's too much going on at school." He still looks like he has a big grin.

Lin Xudong also knew him, shook his hand, and said, "Xiao Jia, I still have some things, so I'll leave first." ”

"Hey, thank you, I'll have to trouble you again."

"What did you say, okay, let's get in touch again."

Send him out, Gu Zheng sat on the chair. Said: "I'm busy revising my thesis, it's really not a human job." ”

"Normal, you're the most educated person in our group now, so you should do something non-human." Lao Jia said with a smile.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Gu Zheng knew that he was not a director, so he simply went to the academic exhibition, so he took the postgraduate examination.

"What's the matter, you want to stay in school and become a teacher?" Lao Jia asked.

"Let's see." He shook his head, a little indignant, and said, "The school is different now than before, and all I care about is advertising photography." Computer stunts. "Uncle Vanya" was played before, and the audience applauded, so I had to let an American blockbuster be played! ”

Jia Zhangke was silent for a while when he heard this, he felt the same as Gu Zheng. It's not that everyone has to watch art films, but you don't have the least respect for the concept of film, which is unimaginable in the days when they were in school.

"Alright, stop talking nonsense, hurry. I'll take a look at it. Gu Zheng changed the subject.

The lights dimmed, and the silent image continued to shine on the small screen.

"This Zhao Tao is really good." Gu Zheng was excited after a few glances, and said, "I said that you are shit luck, this kind of actor can pick it up casually." First is Qingzi, and this is another muse. ”

He smacked his mouth, stared at the second male again, shook his head and said, "It's really not as good as Qingzi." Too much worse. He turned his head and asked, "Huh?" Is he in time? ”

Lao Jia thought for a while and said: "It should be in time, he said that the movie is not very reliable, just a thirty-minute scene." It can be completed in ten days. ”

"If you urge again, the goods are even more unreliable, and you may pull out some moths." Gu Zheng waved his hand, knowing his appearance very well.

Lao Jia was about to answer, when he felt a vibration in his waist, and took out his mobile phone and said, "Hey, who are you?" ”

“…… I do not know! ”

He took the mobile phone and listened, and suddenly shouted, raised his hand and was about to fall, but he still held back and hung up silently.

"Who?" Gu Zheng was taken aback, it was rare to see him lose his temper like this.

"Ask me!" Jia Zhangke waved his arm vigorously and said, "How can I participate in the film festival!" How can you get through the relationship! How can you win a prize! I get three or four of these calls a day! I ......" he said no more.

Gu Zheng was also surprised, then sighed slightly and patted him on the shoulder.

…………

Ten days is the time that Lueller gave to the film, and it also includes the three days that the writers spent in meetings.

Chu Qing looked at the calendar on his phone, and counted the days in a panic, in mid-November, this drama was completed, and Lao Jia had no conscience and asked him to fly to Fenyang immediately, and it was said that he would stay until next year......

This is not the end, Ya said that the new drama must have four seasons of shots, that is, after filming in winter, there are spring scenes, and after spring filming, there are summer scenes......

He immediately felt inhumane and frenzied! I worked hard for half a year, and I gave it to you? But just nagging, nagging, making my heart happy, I have to go.

Chu Qing scratched his head, lay on the bed, and looked at the cold rain outside the window. There is no heating in this place, only the air conditioning is on, and it is damp, and it feels like wearing wet clothes and basking in the sun for an hour.

He was thinking about calling his girlfriend to complain, when his hand shook, but the phone rang first. As soon as he looked at the number, he touched his nose and suddenly had a bad premonition.

"Hey, Lou Dao." Chu Qing joked.

There was a pause for a second, and he said, "Don't you call it that?" It sounds like a missile. ”

"Brother Ye!" He changed his name seriously.

Lou Ye instantly gave up the ownership of his title, and said directly to the point: "The filming of "Suzhou River" is over. ”

"Huh?" Chu Qing hasn't reacted yet, and the sub-cycle of this film is too long, making him a little blurry. But then, there was a kind of excitement in my heart, and I excitedly said: "That's great! When will it be released? ”

"It can't be released, it's not censored."

Lou Ye used the same narration tone as in the film, and poured him a basin of cold water cleanly.

“…… Why, why? He stammered.

"It's too gloomy, it's niche, there's no positive."

"I'm cāo!" Chu Qing dropped the phone directly, tossed it on the quilt a few times, and slipped to the side of the bed.

Gloomy, niche, not active...... Isn't this the set of words that "Xiao Wu" said when he was killed? Feelings, you are so special in this game that it is an automatic reply!

He silently picked up the phone, and the whole person was not good, and the more he thought about it, the more bitter he became.

Count this one, I have made four films, but I haven't even watched a shadow. Inexplicably, he doubted his character value, and by the way, he did not express any hope for the prospects of "The Devil is Coming".

Lou Ye was not excited at all, and said, "Do you still have a drama then?" ”

"Yes, I have to shoot for half a year." Chu Qing drooped his head, and said weakly.

"Well, you set aside ten days for me, from the end of January to the beginning of February."

"What?"

"When I went to the Netherlands to participate in a film festival, Zhou Xun couldn't be scheduled, so the hero and heroine had to go to one."

“……”

Chu Qing pulled the corners of his mouth and collapsed directly, without this! If she can't get out of the line, I can?

But it's still the same, complaining and complaining in my heart, and I still say, "Okay." ”

Hung up the phone, and the goods began to flip through the calendar again, at the end of January and the beginning of February...... Just look at the red Chinese New Year's Eve, marked on February 4th.

There are too many blows, but it doesn't matter, look at this, this year's Spring Festival can't be well lived.

He tossed his phone aside, looked at the raindrops on the glass, and felt even more ridiculous: I'm still a busy person! (To be continued......)
