The wind was light and the clouds were light, and it was a good day.

The white fields are as far as the eye can see, and meet the drooping skyline, and the dwarf and sparse vegetation stretches across them, without a trace of life.

Dozens of people gathered together, several large cars parked behind them, noisily creating a vibrant area, Jia Zhangke was in the middle, wearing a small hat, his face was withered.

It feels very strange, a little dazed, and a little lost to make a movie that I know can't be released, but no matter what, everyone in the group didn't think it was a worthless thing, but in this depressed wilderness, there was a sense of tragedy and grandeur that thousands of people were looking forward to.

"It's coming, let's go!"

Chu Qing and Gu Zheng squeezed in carrying a table with several large plastic bags piled on it.

The long table stopped in the middle, and the two of them began to get busy, taking the same fruits from the bags and placing them on the plates. Chu Qing took out a gold-lacquered incense burner again, conjured out three large incense sticks, plugged them in, and finally found a panting river fish, floating with a cheap fishy smell.

Hong Kong filmmakers turn on the film, pay attention to worshipping God and burning incense, and it is best to have a small suckling pig. Big 6 didn't have this habit, of course, the domestic film market flourished later, and a large number of directors went north, bringing this custom with them, and it slowly became a rule.

Jia Zhangke didn't believe this, but Li Jieming, the producer from Hong Kong, persuaded him to hold a boot ceremony, not only to pray for blessings, but also to inspire the spirit and work together.

Gu is the assistant director, and Chu Qing is the male lead, but neither of them took themselves seriously, they were just helping their buddies, and they took the initiative to reach out to any major and minor affairs in the group. This time, I also volunteered to pull the offerings, and it was good to say that the little suckling pig was really out of the way, so I had to carry a fish instead.

Lao Jia held a red cloth, covered the camera, and himself was in front, twisting incense in his hand. A cadre of the main creators was lined up behind him, upright, clockwise in a circle facing the southeast, northwest, and bowed four times.

After the prayer, remove the red cloth and you're done.

But after Lao Jia inserted the incense, he stood stupidly for a while. When everyone was wondering, they saw him bend his knees, and he actually fell to his knees, moving very slowly and respectfully, and kowtowed.

Wipe! Playing so big?

Everyone was stunned, and suddenly they were in a very embarrassing situation.

Chu Qing glanced at Gu Zheng. Do we need to accompany it?

Gu Zheng also gritted his teeth, he couldn't figure it out, so he looked at it again......

Fortunately, Lao Jia didn't give them too much time to entangle, only knocked one and stood up, took off the red cloth, and turned back to the dozens of people: "Platform, start the machine!" ”

At the beginning of November. Jia Zhangke took a few people to Fenyang to make preliminary preparations. The film is set in 1979, so the atmosphere of the times is the most important feature, and he is very dissatisfied with the completion of the work of the props team, and he rarely loses his temper, and scolds the gang with a pair of 90s-style pants.

In the end, I moved all my connections in Fenyang and went to find old furniture and daily necessities from more than ten years ago.

This first scene. It is a scene on the way when the art troupe comes back from a performance in the countryside.

"Slow down."

Chu Qing helped Zhao Tao into a tattered truck, and then helped Yang Lina up casually, looking left and right, Liang Jingdong was not visible, pouted, and ran into the carriage himself.

When I came out this morning. The wind is thin and a little cold, but not so cold that it doesn't freeze you. As a result, as soon as his butt was on the side, he felt a chill in his head. Then his head was messed up, his eyes were squinted in a mess, and then the hairs on the back of his hands trembled, and the chill instantly invaded his body.

"On this day, get up when you talk about it."

Zhao Tao was long, and his appearance was more scattered, he shrunk back, covered his head and complained.

Lao Jia was about to shout, but his hat was suddenly blown crooked, and he was stunned.

"How?" Gu Zheng immediately asked.

He looked up at the alienated sky and said, "Let's try to shoot first." ”

“anetbsp; A blue-skinned old liberation car swayed on the field, and more than a dozen members of the art troupe sat in the back compartment.

Chu Qing waved his hands and acted as a conductor, and the others began to sing with a grin: "In another twenty years, we will meet, seven or eight wives, and a lot of children......"

Like Zhao Tao and Yang Lina, they sing very well, and others are not bad, so he is very self-aware and paddling in it.

The truck drove from right to left, into the shot. Yu Liwei didn't follow, just stood in place, slowly deflected the camera, and caught a section of the front and a rear of the car.

He carried the light of the sky on his back, and the people in the car looked at a dark shadow, unable to distinguish who was who, too small to be insignificant, but laughing happily, singing cheerfully, carefree.

This song is called "Young Friends Come to Meet", and the original lyrics are "Young friends, come to meet today, swing the boat, and the warm wind blows gently." ”

But young people, no matter what era of youth, some characteristics are the same, just like how we can sing "The sun and the sky shine, I will blow up the school ......".

The first day of filming is often a process of running in with the crew, and the director generally does not arrange too many shots. The field is very smooth, and then it will not work, the wind is getting stronger and stronger, and I am afraid that there will be six or seven levels of Cheng dù, rolling the withered grass and decaying stems of the wilderness, and attacking unscrupulously.

Chu Qing couldn't open his mouth in the end, and as soon as he spoke, he poured in a mouthful of wind. People can stand up, but they are squeamish, they can't work in the field for too long, and they have to get into the car to warm up after shooting for a while.

Until noon, Jia Zhangke saw that the situation was really inappropriate, time-consuming and laborious, and the progress was not fast, so he simply announced the call it a day.

Chu Qing got into the car tremblingly, and said suspiciously: "I said you didn't kowtow to the wrong one, right?" Which way are you going? ”

The wind rose so suddenly, as if God had done it on purpose, Lao Jia was a little unsure, scratched his head and said, "I remember to go east...... That's right. ”

"It's not about the location." Yu Liwei touched his beard, slapped his face and said: "You worship God is to worship the gods of the Quartet, but kowtow to one, less!" ”

"Hey, Viagra is reliable!" Gu Zheng immediately greeted the driver and said happily: "Big brother, let's turn around and go back and let him knock again!" ”

…………

There are four main roles in "Platform", Cui Mingliang played by Chu Qing, Yin Ruijuan played by Zhao Tao, Zhang Jun played by Liang Jingdong, and Zhong Ping played by Yang Lina.

They are all from the county art troupe, and they often go to the countryside to give condolence performances, and they rehearse on weekdays. Singing, dancing, poetry recitation.

To say that this group of people in the 80s can be regarded as the first batch of literary and artistic young people in New China, and various art forms such as movies, pop songs, writing, and drama seem to have been held back for a long time, and all of them burst out all at once.

What's more. How can people be real literary and artistic......

"Mom, it's not done yet?"

Chu Qing was wearing a sportswear, but there was only a pair of red autumn pants underneath, and he was drinking water with a large porcelain jar.

An old lady sat in front of the sewing machine, changed her trouser legs, and said without looking back: "You don't do anything all afternoon." Just waiting for these pants? ”

The old lady is a serious local, with no acting experience, and her Fenyang dialect passed down from her ancestors directly blasted his cottage colloquial language into slag. I heard that I wanted to die, if it wasn't for the script comparison, I wouldn't understand what it meant.

Zhang Jun's aunt was in Guangzhou and sent him a pair of bell bottoms, which are the most popular at the moment. Cui Mingliang nested in the county, had nowhere to buy, and his eyes were hot, so he had to ask his mother to change the original pants.

"What kind of work do you have, I am a literary and artistic worker, mental work." Chu Qing held the jar in one hand and pointed his fingers with the other, thinking that he was very hanging.

The old lady took the tape measure and compared it to his lap. said: "What kind of literature and art, but also brainpower, you have to listen to me at home." ”

Chu Qing lifted her clothes, asked her to measure them, and said, "If you don't support me, then I will go to society." ”

In "Platform", except that he is a professional actor. and Yang Lina is from a drama background, and other roles are played by non-professional actors.

Don't look at the old lady who has never acted, the state is very natural, and people are just living life. Changing pants and training his son are all scenes that he is familiar with. The slightly more difficult thing is to memorize the lines, but Lao Jia is very tolerant, does not require the repetition of a word, and can say whatever he wants, as long as the meaning is right.

It's simple, in the words of the old man: This is called filming? Mo ball meaning!

"Yes! Ready"

Jia Zhangke shouted, swept it, as if looking for someone, then frowned, pushed the door and walked out.

Yu Liwei was fiddling with the camera in the house, the old lady was still stepping on the sewing machine, and there was a "rattling" sound.

Chu Qing hurriedly ran to the outhouse, carried a bench, and came to the stove. This is an old local workers' dormitory, with two rooms inside and outside, with a large water tank poked at the door, next to it is a face plate rack, nails are nailed on the wall, and a bamboo dustpan is hung.

The two scenes are connected scenes, after Cui Mingliang finished talking to his mother in the back room, he turned to the outhouse and chatted with Zhang Jun and farted, but now people are arrogant......

He roasted for a few minutes, and his cold legs became a little hot, and he looked at it casually, looking at a few sweet potatoes piled up in the corner, and his eyes lit up.

I didn't eat too much in the morning, and when I saw that the owner was not there, I sneakily brought a big one, washed it, swept the stove, took a kitchen knife, cut it into pieces, and put it on the stove to bake.

After a while, the sweet potato slices slowly curled up and dehydrated, giving off a mushy sweet fragrance.

"Viagra." He leaned in the doorway, cried out in a crushed voice.

The two of them gathered by the stove and instantly became accomplices.

"Can you still eat sweet potatoes like this?" Yu Liwei felt fresh, he had eaten roasted sweet potatoes, but it was the first time to eat like this full of hanging silk temperament. I'm not afraid of being hot, so I picked up a piece with my hand, bit it in my mouth, and nodded and praised: "Well, it's good." ”

Chu Qing was cutting and eating, and asked, "Is he still making trouble?" ”

"Yes, alas, delay everyone." Yu Liwei obviously didn't have a good impression either.

The person in their mouths is Liang Jingdong, after Chu Qing took the lead...... At least that's what he thinks, and he's been making trouble all the time.

Because Zhang Jun is a short and handsome hipster man, he can't keep his head for a year. Originally, it should have been cut yesterday, but this product was not happy, so Lao Jia had to let him sit in the cab of the truck without showing his face.

But today there is his main play, which must be cut.

Lao Jia patted Chu Qing first, just to give him some buffer time, and consciously shaved his head, but he was still playing with his temper when he didn't think about it. It's time for his play soon, the thirty-odd people are ready, where to wait, Ya just turns a blind eye.

With such a temperament, it's no wonder that even Yu Liwei, who has always been good-tempered, doesn't like it.

The "squeak" door was opened, and Gu Zheng also flashed in.

"Ho, it's so cold outside!" He automatically joined the team, grabbed a sweet potato slice, and said with a smile: "I haven't eaten this thing in years." ”

"How's it going?" Yu Liwei asked.

"Lao Jia is persuading." Gu Zheng ate another slice and said, "If you want me to say, it's just habitual, if you don't act, you will kick it directly, and you have to take care of your feelings." ”

"You can't say that, he is a director after all and has his own ideas." Yu Liwei said.

Chu Qing stood up, looked through the small window, sat down again, and pouted: "Good guy, Lao Jia is talking to Ya with a big pair of scissors." ”

"Forget him, hey, this thing is really full, it's a little swollen." Gu Zheng was able to eat more than a dozen tablets this time, rubbed his stomach and complained.

"I'll make you ......"

Chu Qing smiled, and was about to mock, when he heard a shout outside: "Jia Zhangke! You're so raped by everyone! ”

The movements in the hands of the three of them stopped, looked at each other, hurriedly threw down their things, pushed the door and ran out.

saw everyone on the set standing on the periphery, and in a corner, Liang Jingdong and Jia Zhangke were facing each other.

Chu Qing could only see Lao Jia's back, and he felt more and more embarrassed. After hearing what he said just now, he was silent for a long time before he said slowly: "I don't rape anyone." ”

As he spoke, he threw away the scissors, turned around and left, and it looked like he was going to walk straight out of the set. Liang Jingdong stood in place, staring at him motionlessly.

"Hey, director, don't be angry!"

"That is, let's talk about it again, what can't be solved?"

Tao Jun and Li Jieming, who were close, hurriedly grabbed them, stopped and persuaded them, Lao Jia seemed to be iron-hearted, twisted his body, threw them off, and went directly out of the workers' dormitory.

Everyone watched him walk out into the street, stretched out his hand to stop a taxi, and got into the car without looking back.

"I'm cāo!"

The director doesn't do it, this can't be stricter! Everyone was still dumbfounded, Gu Zheng scolded first, reacted, and hurriedly followed. Chu Qing was still wearing the red autumn pants, and Yu Liwei followed closely behind, and the three of them also took a car, and began to chase as soon as they slipped away.

(There is also a ...... at night ）
