Chapter 46
"I can't see anything." Lu Zhou said, "You can't brush Taobao or read books." ”
"It's good to practice every day." Xiao Yi said.
Lu Zhou replied: "Let me think about life." ”
So Lu Zhou began to sit and think about life, thinking about life occasionally for half an hour, if he had been thinking about life, the whole person would be very depressed, when eating, the lights in the restaurant shone down, Xiao Yi smiled gloatingly, watching the blindfolded Lu Zhou take chopsticks and poke around.
Lu Zhou couldn't find where the food was, Xiao Yi was about to die of laughter by him, Lu Zhou asked, "What are you laughing at?" ”
When Lu Zhou said this, there was still a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his handsome face was blindfolded because of his eyes, which had an irrepressible charm.
"Nope." Xiao Yi said, "You suddenly became so gentle. ”
"Really?" Lu Zhou said, "Maybe it's because my heart has calmed down." ”
"Shall I feed you?" Xiao Yi said.
Lu Zhou said: "No, does the blind man have to be fed every day?" ”
Xiao Yi sighed, Lu Zhou thought about it, and said again: "Hey it once, let me feel it." ”
Xiao Yi had also fed Lu Zhou before, that was when he was injured and bedridden, but now he felt different, he put the food together and fed it to Lu Zhou's mouth.
Lu Zhou was unexpectedly fed, his mouth had not yet opened, Xiao Yi's spoon had already passed, and he was confused by the food.
Lu Zhou: "......"
Xiao Yi was about to go crazy laughing, Lu Zhou couldn't cry or laugh, and said, "You must have deliberately manipulated me." ”
"Aha......ha
"I love you." Lu Zhou said.
Lu Zhou stretched out his hand and touched Xiao Yi's face.
"Gen Bao has never seen his daughter-in-law." Lu Zhou said, "They're at home, and I guess it's about the same as us." ”
"I love you too." Xiao Yi said, "Yes, they support each other. If the daughter-in-law dies, Genbao will definitely be sad. ”
Lu Zhou didn't speak, sitting at the table, Xiao Yi said, "Ah." ”
Xiao Yi fed Lu Zhou, they ate the meal very slowly, and after feeding, Xiao Yi ate by himself.
"I'll wash the dishes." Lu Zhou said.
He touched around and cleaned up the plates on the table, Xiao Yi tied an apron for him, and took the knife away, lest he accidentally scratch his hand, and watched him wash the dishes from the sidelines.
At night, Lu Zhou sat on the sofa, Xiao Yi lay in his arms and surfed the Internet, Lu Zhou couldn't see anything, Xiao Yi said, "Listen to TV?" ”
"Nope." Lu Zhou said.
"How do you feel?" Xiao Yi said.
"Loneliness." Lu Zhou said, "I am very lonely in the invisible world, I have no sense of security, and I long for someone to accompany me. Chai Dao is indeed an expert, and he asked me to supplement my understanding of the characters in this way. ”
Xiao Yi hummed, Lu Zhou experienced it almost all day in a blindfolded way that day.
The next day, Lu Zhou sat blindfolded in the conference room, and everyone looked at him.
Chai Dao said: "It is appropriate to let the eyes see things. ”
Lu Zhou nodded and said, "Let's continue to talk." ”
Day 3, Day 4......
A week later, on Monday, Deng Xiaochuan went to discuss with the investor, but did not come, Director Chai said: "Today we will talk about some ideas for this drama, yesterday I chatted with Director Guo, we watched some documentaries, I have a brand new idea." ”
Xiao Yi used to be most afraid of the director's words: "I have a brand new idea", every time I hear this sentence, everyone is indispensable, the screenwriter is tossed to the hospital, the location is tossed to jump off the building, and the actor is tossed to the psychiatric hospital......
Xiao Yi pretended to listen with great interest, and Lu Zhou said, "Tell me about it?" ”
"I'm thinking." Director Chai thought for a while and said, "Can you take the folk music of erhu as the soul music that runs through the whole movie, and make it into a Chinese-style musical that is both traditional and peculiar?" ”
Xiao Yi: "......"
Lu Zhou: "......"
"Lu Zhou, this is very demanding of you." Director Chai said, "But you also said that your assistant can compose." ”
Xiao Yi: "........................"
Xiao Yi shouted in his heart, Mom, you spare me!
In the afternoon of the same day, the erhu teacher came, and first pulled a section for Chai Dao, Xiao Yi, and Lu Zhou, the corners of Xiao Yi's mouth twitched, and he almost knelt for this teacher.
"Teacher Chen." Xiao Yi said, "Do you remember me? ”
"Ahh Teacher Chen raised his head, looked at Xiao Yi for ten minutes, and then looked at Lu Zhou next to him.
"You're the one." Teacher Chen said, "When I went to the girls' dormitory to play drums and guitar, I was given a big demerit. ”
Lu Zhou: "......"
Xiao Yi: "......"
Teacher Chen, with white hair and beard, looked like a master of the world, and said, "What's your name?" Your name is Duma? ”
Xiao Yi didn't know what to say anymore, he said: "Duma is my roommate, I went with him that time, but he ran away ......"
Teacher Chen said, "Okay, you're doing well now!" Chai Dao highly recommends you. ”
This Teacher Chen is the professor who taught elective courses back then, Xiao Yi saw him coming, and he knew that the Tao was reliable, but it was even more unreliable to let him compose, especially to play the erhu.
Fortunately, Mr. Chen has his own music team and took over the music production and editing part of "Qinshan", Xiao Yi instinctively knows that he will definitely learn a lot with a teacher of this level. So he temporarily threw Lu Zhou aside and began to discuss composition with Mr. Chen.
Director Chai sorted out his opinions to Mr. Chen, and everyone came and went to discuss for several days, among which Xiao Yi served as an assistant throughout the whole process, and sorted out Lu Zhou's feelings, Chai Dao's feelings, and his own understanding of erhu to Mr. Chen.
Lu Zhou is still blindfolded and walks around the house every day.
Xiao Yi pulled an erhu and looked at Lu Zhou.
"Not bad." Lu Zhou hummed the melody and said, "You made it yourself?" ”
Xiao Yi said: "It's a bit like Hisaishi's "The Sun Still Rises", the inspiration I got from him, but I can't use it, there are too many repetitive elements, and it feels similar." ”
Lu Zhou hummed, Xiao Yi began to think again, Lu Zhou asked, "Why don't you speak?" ”
Xiao Yi said: "Huh? What's wrong? Are you in a bad mood? ”
Lu Zhou said: "If you don't speak, I can't feel that you are there, and my heart is not steady." ”
Xiao Yi said: "Genbao must be very lonely. ”
Lu Zhou muttered: "The loneliest person is the most powerful person. This is the heart of Genbao. ”
Xiao Yi was shocked and said, "Good cow." ”
"Ibsen said." Lu Zhou got up with a cane and walked in front of Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi put down his erhu and wanted to get up, but Lu Zhou said, "You sit." ”
Lu Zhou stretched out his hand, touched Xiao Yi's short hair, touched his closed eyes, and then knelt down on one knee, took his hand, and put his hand on his face.
Xiao Yi: "......"
Lu Zhou: "How do you feel?" ”
"It's hard." Xiao Yi replied.
Lu Zhou: "......"
Lu Zhou took out a ring and said, "Are you willing to marry me, a blind man?" ”
That ring was the one that Xiao Yi had worn on Lu Zhou's doll finger before.
"I'm willing, ahh——!!hh Xiao Yi's roar almost overturned the entire house.
Another day passed, and when Xiao Yi came back, he said, "Come on." ”
Xiao Yi moved over the chair, asked Lu Zhou to sit down, put on a posture to play the erhu, took his hand, touched the strings, and began to teach him to play the erhu.
For half a month, Xiao Yi and Mr. Chen argued countless times about the theme song and melody of the movie, and every time Lu Zhou listened to it, he said: "I think Xiao Yi's music is good." ”
On the day when the theme song was finally decided, everyone discussed it for a long time, but they didn't set the main theme, Mr. Chen's was very good, Xiao Yi's submission was also very good, Mr. Chen's heaviness, Xiao Yi's song was clear. Teacher Chen's feeling is more vicissitudes, while Xiao Yi's music is a little worse, lacking a sense of sadness, replaced by a sense of longevity.
This time, Lu Zhou insisted on using the song written by Xiao Yi, and he said seriously to Mr. Chen: "I like the second song he wrote, the distant mountains are picturesque, and it can give people a sense of hope and the future. ”
Everyone knows that Lu Zhou is actually a layman, but he is the leading actor, he insists so much, and Mr. Chen has no choice but to give in appropriately and agree to use the theme song written by Xiao Yi, anyway, the entire music team is one, and he will not specially sign Xiao Yi with the name of the composer, it is not a problem who to use, as long as Director Chai thinks it is no problem.
Director Chai said: "I personally think the two are okay, and I also tend to Xiao Yi's one, let's decide the two songs together for the producer, which one is the theme song and which one is the interlude." ”
Xiao Yi said: "At the end of the forty-second show, it will be more suitable to insert the theme music and use the Scottish bagpipes?" ”
"Bagpipes." Teacher Chen thought about it for a while, got up and drank water, "It doesn't feel right, it's okay to change the tone." ”
Xiao Yi said: "After post-processing, there will be no Western music atmosphere, it will only look very desolate." ”
Teacher Chen said: "This is a solution, but your way is too miscellaneous, piano, pipe organ, bagpipes, guzheng are all on it, you arrangers like to play these tricks, why don't you feel at ease and study the erhu?" ”
Xiao Yi didn't refute, and Mr. Chen said, "I'll ask the producer and make it and listen to it." ”
Deng Xiaochuan brought a good news, the investment is almost in place, and there are still tens of millions of vacancies in the capital part, Xiao Yi listened to the report and felt that it must be over the budget, the heroine Deng Xiaochuan is in contact, because there is a naked scene, and Director Chai is very persistent, and the salary is low, everyone is reluctant to take it.
With the advent of Christmas and New Year, more than four months have passed since the beginning of this drama, and now it feels like it is still far away.
Chai Dao said: "I look like this, there will be no news before the New Year, Lu Zhou, if you have time, I suggest you go to Xinzheng in Henan, or Luohe, find a rural area, and experience the life of Genbao." ”
Lu Zhou hummed and said, "I'll ask Xiao Yi about his arrangements." ”
Xiao Yi and Lu Zhou went to Gansu for a New Year, and went to the place where Chai Dao was about to go to see the scenery and walked around, the weather was very cold, and the cold wind was bitter, most of them were in the countryside, stone houses, and everyone was very poor.
When they came back, they passed through Datong, Shanxi, and finally became a little more popular. Xiao Yi rented a small two-bedroom house in the countryside and planned to return in January.
There is no heating here, there is no water heater, only a coal stove can be used for heating, Lu Zhou is busy here and there every day, blindfolded to make a fire, although the environment where Genbao lives is too much better, but people go in and out, the atmosphere in the countryside is also a bit like the one described in the movie.
The dry and cold quilt, doing nothing every day, the feeling of sitting in the yard basking in the sun for the winter, and there is a wheat field not far away.
Lu Zhou has been blindfolded, wearing a woolen hat, no one recognizes his identity for the time being, there are too many things to do, he has to fetch water, boil water, although there is a gas stove, but it is very troublesome to take a bath, and he has to carry a gas tank upstairs, Xiao Yi is afraid that Lu Zhou's shoulder injury will recur, but Lu Zhou said that there is nothing to do, and the other shoulder is good.
So the two of them are like a young couple living in the countryside, living every day at sunrise and sunset, and Xiao Yi will read a little book to Lu Zhou at night.
"It feels like two lifetimes." Lu Zhou said.
Xiao Yi said: "I also think ...... It's an amazing day. ”
Lu Zhou held a cane and listened to another blind man playing an erhu at the entrance of the village, and whispered, "He doesn't sound as good as you." ”
Xiao Yi said: "These are all folk, we are different, my erhu is no longer pure, with the feeling of pop music." ”
Lu Zhou listened to it for a long time, but didn't hear anything unusual, and went grocery shopping with Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi bought a chicken, and Lu Zhou bought garlic on the other side, touching the money for a long time, and touching it for a long time when looking for money.
After going back, Xiao Yi came to inspiration, just sat in the courtyard and played the erhu, the people around were attracted by the sound of the erhu, when Xiao Yi pulled the erhu, Lu Zhou went in silently, and when he came out again, he held an enamel rice basin, held it in one hand, shook it, and began to sing a few lyrics along with Xiao Yi's song.
Xiao Yi: "......"
Jingle, someone began to throw a dime of coins inside, Xiao Yi thought to himself, director, it's a pity that you missed such a good easter egg...... After the worst, Xiao Yi stopped pulling, and Lu Zhou got two yuan and took it to buy candy for the children in the yard.
When Xiao Yi came back one day, he saw Lu Zhou standing outside the yard, playing with a five-year-old girl next door.
"No, no, no!" The little girl said, "Go back and stand there!" I said the beginning is the beginning! ”
Lu Zhou: "It's good, it's good." ”
Xiao Yi immediately took the DV and secretly recorded it on the side.
The little girl took Lu Zhou's hand and asked him to go back to the place where he started, her mother came out and began to scold her uncle not to bother, Lu Zhou hurriedly smiled and waved his hand to show that it didn't matter, and according to her instructions, he accompanied a group of children to dance the grid.
A few days later, another child came to Lu Zhou and asked him to play a villain, but no one played a villain, so Lu Zhou became a villain, and was pointed at a wooden gun with a bang, Lu Zhou was responsible for falling down, shouting: "The king spares his life!" ”
Xiao Yi secretly filmed Lu Zhou, and the automatic single loop in his mind: Qiang Qiang Qiang Dangdang, don't call me the king, call me the queen......
After the New Year, after returning to Beijing, Director Chai watched the clips taken by Xiao Yi and was about to be laughed to death by them.
"Xiao Xiao, you're all right!" Director Chai said, "The director's material! ”
Lu Zhou's face was flushed, and he was blindfolded, and said with a smile: "He is mine." ”
"Every day goes by." Director Chai said with emotion, "I really have ideals and pursuits, and I am so fulfilling!" Come, Lu Zhou, look at the situation, you don't have to be blindsided in a few days, there is still a funding gap of four million, the heroine has been found, and she is a newcomer with good acting skills. ”
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, during the Lantern Festival, Lu Zhou finally took off his blindfold, and the heroine ran away again a few days ago. Xiao Yi really lost to this crew completely, and he felt full of all kinds of accidents, but Director Chai was not in a hurry, and said: "It's okay, let's prepare to start the film first, and slowly find the heroine while shooting." ”
Xiao Yi almost turned his back when he heard this, but this time Director Guo also came, and when he came in, he said, "Ahaha, we are a gold medal lineup." ”
Xiao Yi was busy pouring tea for Director Guo, he loved Director Guo very much, because Director Guo was the first person who made him complete the transformation from an assistant to the creation of the crew, no wonder Lu Zhou respected him so much, every good director can make everyone in the whole team complete the process of recasting ideas.
The crew first rented a house of 20,000 a month in Beijing, as a temporary station, and everyone revised the script after the most reluctance, Director Guo and Director Chai went to see the scene together, Director Guo supervised the production, Director Chai was the director, Zheng Xiaocong's studio and Lu Zhou's studio each contributed four million, and the rest was a pull-point investment, Deng Xiaochuan was the producer, it was the first time Xiao Yi saw the script, and then it was changed twenty times, and the screenwriter finally went to the hospital and never came again.
So Director Guo invited three more screenwriters to a meeting, and renovated the script once after giving it to the most decorating, counting the three screenwriters in front, there are a total of N screenwriters in this play.
The outreach has been resolved, and a group of extras invited from China Film, these extras are all professional actors, Zheng Xiaocong and Hu Yang also joined the group, giving Lu Zhou a cameo, Xiao Yi asked if he wanted to find Wu Henggu, but Lu Zhou waved his hand and said forget it.
In February, the entire crew got on the plane in batches, went to Taiyuan, and then transferred from Taiyuan to Linfen, and finally drove from Linfen to Ji County, rented a village, and during their filming, all the residents of the village were temporarily relocated by the government and replaced with actors.
Xiao Yi thought to himself that this was really too good, it was originally in Zhuozhou Film and Television City or a place where China Film could be filmed, but the original team actually pulled a horse to Zhongduo Township...... This is the investor's money is not distressing, but the attitude of watching the producer Guo Dao spend money is not like ah, they even bring the tea they drink at home, and they are usually very frugal in spending money, never eat and drink at public expense, and the crew also brings some food when they get together for dinner.
However, the day after arriving at the filming location, when the camera began to be arranged, Xiao Yi felt that this movie was really ...... It's so right to be here.
"You're right?" Director Guo smiled and said to Xiao Yi, "Xiao Xiao, do you say it yourself?" ”
"Yes." Xiao Yi nodded and said, "Yes, this is Jing." ”
"Hmm." Director Chai nodded approvingly, "This is the scene." ”
The vast winds and sand, the mountains stretching on the Loess Plateau, the barren roads, and the gray and yellow earth are the scenery that cannot be made by any props and scenery. On the same day, the props began to build a shed, transform everything, and call directly if there is anything missing, and let the second group of people from Beijing bring it over.
The generator began to roar, the fuel was loaded, Lu Zhou and Zheng Xiaocong ate in front of a basin, Zheng Xiaocong said, "The chicken fried by my brother and sister is delicious." ”
Xiao Yi: "......"
Zheng Xiaocong wore windproof sunglasses and said, "I haven't eaten this dish for a long time." ”
Xiao Yi couldn't cry or laugh, it was not good to correct the title of the actor, Lu Zhou was next to him, haha, come, come, let's drink. Director Chai and Director Guo shouted at each other, and Director Guo said: "No, no, I can't drink you." If I drink it any more, I'll have to drink up my budget. ”
"What are you afraid of?" Director Chai was so drunk that his face was flushed, and he said, "The two big names are in our group, but they are super strong!" It's super to let Zheng Youqian and Lu get rich! ”
Lu Zhou: "......"
Zheng Xiaocong: "......"
Xiao Yi was about to die of laughter, and when Zheng Xiaocong heard that he was implicated by Lu Zhou and had the nickname of Zheng Youqian, his expression was almost no longer an actor. That night, everyone drank wine, ate, and had a full meal, and the machine was turned on. Xiao Yi asked if he wanted to promote it on Weibo, and Director Chai waved his hand and said: "Let's not do that, it's better to shoot the scene well than anything!" ”
Of course, you still have to worship God, even Director Guo is not exempt from vulgarity, he worshiped the land lord that night, and toasted
So the next day, all the crew members got up early in the morning and started the film, Lu Zhou started to put on makeup from four o'clock, his complexion was dark, dry, and smelled of dust, barefoot, and he had to be coated with mud on his feet, and he was wearing a pair of broken straw shoes.
Lu Zhou was unkempt, holding the erhu, taking a makeup photo, his hair was knotted like hay, it looked like he hadn't washed his hair for ten days and half a month, it was dirty to death, and his feet still had makeup wounds, and the red flesh turned out and was exposed.
"Let's take a make-up photo." Co-ordinator said.
Xiao Yi: "......"
Xiao Yi thought to himself, your makeup photo will properly become Lu Zhou's black history! What's there to shoot here!
Zheng Xiaocong turned into a black face, as if blowing a face of stove ashes, barefoot like a madman, came over with a smile, took pictures with Lu Zhou, the heroine is called Yingday, specializing in Tibetan dramas, one person plays two roles to play Wang Genbao's daughter-in-law and daughter, the skin is also very rough, and the clothes he wears are tattered.
The three of them stood together and took a photo, Xiao Yi thought to himself that it was really enough.
Ying Yan said, "Come on, Brother Xiao, come over too." ”
"Come on, come on, everybody!" Zheng Xiaocong made a gathering action, and everyone went over to take a group photo.
One of the scenes filmed that day was Wang Genbao found the village plays, most of the scenes were filmed in this village, and Lu Zhou had to sing while walking when he came up, which was very difficult, but Mr. Chen sorted out all the Sanjin folk songs, and even went back to school to ask an old professor to teach Lu Zhou to be familiar with all his singing lyrics.
Lu Zhou took the erhu and walked from outside the village, the camera advanced, Xiao Yi couldn't stop playing the drum in his heart, Lu Zhou's voice was small at first, and then gradually became louder.
"No one is watching the shift...... Alas, bitter. Lu Zhou's voice was low and hoarse, and he deliberately held back a broken gong voice and sat on a wooden stake outside the village.
Lu Zhou rolled his eyes, he wore special contact lenses in his eyes, and at this time he couldn't see anything, and began to touch the erhu tremblingly.
Xiao Yi sat opposite him, the radioman pushed Mai over, the erhu musician and Xiao Yi invited by the crew began to prepare, the musician opened the tone first, with this action, Lu Zhou's white eyes rolled to the sky, and the props put crows in the distance, and the crows made a sound and flew into the sky.
If you watch it alone, this scene is very funny, but Xiao Yi has almost no time to think about it, he looks nervously at Lu Zhou's fingering, and as soon as the musician stops, he immediately picks up the tune.
In the middle, a fault was formed, and this fault happened to be at the time when Lu Zhou's fingering paused.
Chai Dao didn't shout, just watched intently, Lu Zhou continued to pull the erhu, opened his mouth, his lips were already cracked, both pulling and singing, a gust of wind blew, the leaves fell all over the ground, rolling up dust.
Director Chai finally said, "Start all over again." ”
The field notes knocked on the board, Lu Zhou walked again and again, the sun came out from behind the dark clouds, Xiao Yi tried to wear Lu Zhou's invisible blind glasses, which were very uncomfortable directly embedded in his eyes, and the props brushed some honey in the wound on Lu Zhou's feet, and in the stinky ditch behind the village, flies came over and buzzed at Lu Zhou's feet.
A shot, filmed all morning, after eating at noon, the wind is getting stronger and stronger, the tarpaulin is about to be blown up, Lu Zhou is standing under the tree, Xiao Yi can see that he is very tired and tired.
"This is good!" Chai Dao said, "It feels right! Here, pick up where you feel, and do it all over again! ”
Lu Zhou's erhu sound came out, fluttering far away in the wind, and the two children ran out, and Lu Zhou's erhu sound stopped.
"It's not easy to play a child's play." Director Guo said.
"You come in! Come! Zheng Xiaocong was full of drunken makeup, and staggered and said, "What is this?!" ”
Zheng Xiaocong reached out to take the erhu, but Lu Zhou didn't speak, spread his hand, and opened his mouth slightly.
"You pull." Zheng Xiaocong played a bastard and said with a smile.
Since the end of the confrontation between Lu Zhou and Li Changzheng in "The Golden Mouse and the Flying Lynx", Xiao Yi has rarely seen a role with Lu Zhou, but they complement each other, and sure enough, Zheng Xiaocong won the international award, and the feeling of acting is completely different.
Zheng Xiaocong was more outgoing, and it was not the same way as Lu Zhou, he grinned slightly, signaling Lu Zhou to continue to play the erhu.
As soon as Lu Zhou pressed the strings, the musician followed the music, Xiao Yi's level was not enough, and he could only take his turn every time it was time to express Lu Zhou's excitement and that there was a flaw in the music.
This scene was filmed from morning to night, and it was not finished until Zheng Xiaocong took Lu Zhou back to his home and entertained him to eat and live.
Then there is the night scene, the crew turned to the interior scene after eating, and the interior scene was set up in the courtyard, the end of February in Shanxi was still very cold, everyone was wearing down, shivering from the cold, the heater was turned on outside, and it blew into the house for two hours, Zheng Xiaocong and Lu Zhou began to sit on the kang and play a scene of eating. The props were steamed on the bun, and Zheng Xiaocong began to ask Lu Zhou to learn erhu for a few years, and asked him to play a few more songs.
So Lu Zhou ate the noodles brought by Zheng Xiaocong's daughter-in-law, and began to play erhu in the room.
Then there is the expression of the heroine.
If the first scene is just an ordinary toss, then this night scene is simply a toss for everyone, the weather is ten degrees below zero, everyone is waiting for Lu Zhou to film in a courtyard dripping with ice, the wall is torn down and all kinds of lights are erected, and the lighting assistant kneels on the ground in front of the kang and uses his body against the reflector.
Xiao Yi participated in the filming of such a scene for the first time, his hands were red from the cold, he shivered and pulled the erhu, the cold wind was bitter, the yard was windy on all sides, and he didn't finish work until ten o'clock.
The next day, it was the first scene of Lu Zhou, who walked in from outside the village.
filmed for three days in a row, and Director Chai was the last to count, and in the night scene, the heroine listened to Lu Zhou's expression of pulling the erhu in the kitchen, which made the whole crew even more crazy.
