Zhang Yang is an airport ground staff with a wife and children.

When the child celebrated his first birthday, he invited a large group of friends to dinner, but on the way back, he accidentally hit and killed someone, and was sentenced to four years. His wife remarried and raised the child.

A few months before he was released from prison, he was given a three-day opportunity to visit his family because of his good appearance. But when he returned home, he learned that his ex-wife was pregnant again and had sent the child to a distant relative to take care of him.

Lin Fan is an urban white-collar worker, delicate and capricious.

The boyfriend says he wants to break up with her and find another girl. In order to save her love, she drove an off-road jeep alone, ready to run to her boyfriend's hometown, but she didn't know the road at all.

These two people met on the way.

Zhang Yang took Lin Fan's car, and passed through the barren beach, the Gobi, and the long road together, panicked and warm. And unconsciously, there is also a very subtle feeling between each other, just like two lonely people meet, only to suddenly discover, oh, it turns out that I still have the same kind.

Because he got lost in the desert and was delayed for a lot of time, Zhang Yang was in a hurry to go back to prison to cancel his leave, but he did not find his child. Lin Fan didn't see her boyfriend either, but she saw the white sea in her lover's mouth, which was a salt lake.

She got out of the car and could only cry bitterly by the salt lake.

A year later, Lin Fan was on the train platform with her new boyfriend. On the opposite side, across the long railroad tracks, is Zhang Yang and his son. The two of them looked at each other, as if in a dream.

……

On the evening of the 14th, "On the Road", as the first Chinese-language film to debut, held its premiere in the small hall of the Movie Palace.

If it weren't for the name of the investor and Guan Hu, who still has some prestige, domestic reporters would not have paid attention to it at all. In contrast, the foreign media showed great interest and occupied the first two rows.

There were also a lot of spectators, and the attendance rate of the small venue of four or five hundred people reached ninety percent.

Chu Qing didn't specifically invite. But guys like Liu Dehua, Gong Li, Tilda, and Pierre who have good friendships also took the initiative to support the stage.

Tang Wei changed into a customized dress given by Fan Xiaoye, wearing a lake-green long skirt, because the aura of international soup has not yet been developed, he can only take the route of literary and artistic freshness.

Wu Xiubo is much simpler, with a black suit, a black bow tie, and a slightly tight white shirt.

The two rookies were too nervous, and their expressions were stiff when they asked reporters to take pictures outside. The eyes are wooden, and I don't know how to pose at all. When you sit down, your tense muscles relax.

After a while, the lights dimmed, the audience was quiet, and the big screen slowly lit up.

Tang Wei and Wu Xiubo saw the finished film for the first time, they were both nervous and excited, one had just debuted, and the other had been in the mix for many years. or youth or vicissitudes, and at this moment in this movie palace, the things in my heart can't help but burst out.

At the beginning of the film, Guan Hu deliberately did not give an explanation of the actor's background. It's just that he returns home, meets his ex-wife, knows where the children are, and then embarks on a journey.

Wu Xiubo has a thin beard. It looks even more down. He is not tall and thin, but there is a calmness and stubbornness in his eyes. This contrast instantly captured the audience's feelings.

His talent in acting is not very strong, and he relies entirely on his rich experience and even human feelings.

TANG WEI IS JUST THE OPPOSITE, VERY, VERY PERCEPTIVE, AS SOON AS LIN FAN, WHO WAS WEARING A WINDBREAKER AND SCARF, CAME OUT, HE INSTANTLY HELD THE WHOLE PICTURE.

"How's it going, how do you feel?"

Chu Qing sat next to her, looked at those sparkling eyes, and couldn't help but smile and ask.

"I, I ......"

The girl was stunned for a long time, but she couldn't find any adjectives.

"Isn't it amazing, excited, and a little small in my heart?" He gave the answer directly.

Tang Wei tilted his head and said in surprise: "Brother Qing, why did you say it so appropriately?" ”

"Because that's how it was when I watched Suzhou Creek." He shrugged.

“……”

The girl didn't bother to pay attention to him, and continued to stare at the big screen, already fully attracted. Even putting aside its own factors, this is a great movie.

And those foreign audiences were even more engrossed, following Zhang Yang and Lin Fan's journey all the way. Watch them pass by simple towns, watch them quarrel funny, watch them guard and rely on each other, watch them move forward in the wonderful frontier scenery.

Finally, when a large area of longhorned sheep appeared in the picture, running wantonly in the wasteland, the sky was vast, and the wind blew the grass to grow.

"Wow!"

The audience suddenly boiled, restrained and exclaimed.

“……”

Tang Wei and Wu Xiubo glanced at each other, meaning to be silent.

This is a real shot, in the wildlife reserve of Xin*jiang, the whole crew waited for five days, and they were all about to go crazy, just for more than ten seconds of footage.

At that time, the two of them were on the side of the road, and they really saw the flock of longhorn sheep, and the sunset was shocking.

After the high tide, the hero and heroine got lost in the desert, and Lin Fan also discovered the identity of the other party as a prisoner.

Echoing the suspense at the beginning, Guan Hu skillfully created a tense atmosphere, and naturally resolved it by the campfire at night, when the two of them confided in each other.

It can be said that "On the Road" is a highly completed film.

What is completeness?

In terms of story, there is a beginning and an end, and the logic fits. Formally, the picture is comfortable and the sound is clear. Emotionally, there is a degree of relaxation and clear expression.

It's very simple to say, but a considerable number of movies can't do this, obviously incomplete and smug, all kinds of breakthroughs, all kinds of cool, all kinds of big productions...... Balabala's is paying for the audience.

Die early!

As for this film, if Jia Zhangke is allowed to shoot it, it will definitely be stuffy to death, and if Lou Ye is allowed to shoot it, it will be hypocritical. Guan Hu is a special one in the sixth generation, he understands the use of business elements from beginning to end, but he often loses his balance.

For example, if he wants to make a pure niche film, it will often be good-looking, like "Hair is Messy" and "Xi Shi Eye", and later "Killing" and "Bullfighting".

However, if he wants to make a commercial work, he always inexplicably stuffs some literary and artistic elements into it and forcibly makes it more connotative. The result is nondescript, the most typical is the "Ruffian Drama Cook".

Fortunately, "On the Road" belongs to the former.

can shoot a road movie without being boring, and even tasteful. For domestic directors, it is absolutely rare.

……

The movie is not too long, about an hour and a half.

In the last five minutes, Lin Fan and her boyfriend got off the train, and knew from the conversation that the two were going to the man's house, and the wedding date was approaching. The man went to find the cart, and the woman waited.

"Boom!"

Ahead, a train passed by, and when the rear of the train moved away. Zhang Yang and his son on the opposite platform were revealed. Father and son were playing small games and having fun.

Both turned their heads and saw each other at the same time.

Wu Xiubo and Tang Wei's eyes were amazing, deep, and silent, just like the distance between the two platforms, close at hand, but unable to cross.

"Alas......"

The audience sighed and watched the screen darken quietly. A list of people who made the zuò flashed through the rows.

At this end, Chu Qing and Guan Hu discussed for a long time.

Their initial idea was that Townwell wept by the salt lake and then harvested it. It looks clean and neat, and the aftertaste is endless. But after pondering and pondering, a scene was added.

Because it's a wonderful feeling, like you bumped into someone yesterday. I think he's funny and very close to him, but. You may never see each other again in your lifetime.

This is called meeting at the end of the world, and forgetting each other.

And what is more sad than forgetting is that one day in a certain year and month, you inadvertently bumped into him again, but you couldn't step forward and say, "Hey, are you okay?" ”

There is nothing more helpless in life than this.

This is what "On the Road" wants to express, the smoothness and sadness like water before seem to make the audience feel, oh, the two of them will never see each other again.

But at the end, Guan Hu stabbed him silently. The two looked at each other on the platform, as if time was flowing, and things were wrong.

So much so that at the end of the film, the audience fell into some kind of unspeakable melancholy, and within half a minute, there was no sound.

"How, how ......"

Tang Wei only felt that the black pressure was overwhelming, and he panicked in his heart, and couldn't help but look back.

"Hey, don't worry."

Chu Qing grabbed her arm and said with a smile: "Wait! ”

"Whoa!"

His voice fell, and the scene was like a jade lion shattered, crisp, agitated, and beautiful voice sounded in an instant.

There was no big scene of everyone standing up, let alone crazy cheers and shouts, but everyone's applause and the joy on their faces were extremely sincere.

They saw a sincere movie, even if it was not a classic, and the ideas and techniques were not so amazing, but the important thing was that they were moved.

Emotional resonance is the second major element in addition to the narrative of the film.

When the applause gradually stopped, all the audience did not leave, waiting for the exchange and interview of the creators. And Chu Qing saw the stupid appearance of the two goods, and hurriedly called: "Go up quickly, don't be stunned!" ”

"Huh? Oh! ”

Tang Wei and Wu Xiubo reacted, and walked to the stage in a trance. Cheng Ying was much calmer than them, poking beside her with a special atmosphere, ready to translate.

Chu Qing didn't join in the fun, just sat in the audience, watching the hero and heroine surrounded by reporters, and felt very relieved.

"Hey, Chu!"

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one beside him, Pierre Risian twisted his chubby body and came over, and said with a smile: "Congratulations, you have brought another excellent work." ”

"Pierre, I'm always sorry."

He was very embarrassed, the movie representative was a pawn, and the small stove of the descendant also ate it, but he didn't do anything! After more than half a year, I recommended that one, and I invested in it myself.

"Haha, don't mind!"

The old man patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "Good movies are hard to come by, and they can't be measured by quantity, I believe in your vision and professionalism." ”

"Thanks to you, I hope it will be better next year."

Chu Qing also smiled, glanced at the front of the stage casually, and asked again: "By the way, do you have time to wait?" ”

"I have about an hour to spare, do you have something to do?" Pierre wondered.

"Well, I want to know more about the French film fund system." (To be continued......)
