583 Fallen leaves return to their roots
Whether it is as noble as Xiang Ling, or as good as a long-sleeved dancer, the smile on her face is instantly frozen, and every actress's eyes reveal an incredible light, and a huge question mark rises in everyone's hearts at the same time.
Why? How so?
Just now, Mr. Spielberg also pointed out that everyone's performances are very good, and it is difficult to distinguish Xuanyuan, why did the flowers still fall to Meiyu's house in the end?
Everyone has a skeptical look on their faces, this is the unspoken rule of legend, right? rejected the film appointment of the TV series, took leave from the director, said no to the announcement of the popular variety show, and every first-line actress squeezed out time from the schedule to audition here.
As a result, it became a training camp with the prince?
They can't help but wonder if this is just a hype? It stands to reason that director Spielberg is an international director, and Mei Yu is also a superstar in the world, and just their joining forces is enough to make a sensation in the film industry.
What are you doing with such a fuss?
Everyone has many problems in their hearts, but fortunately, these actresses have also gone through countless winds and waves to have today's status.
They all suppressed the dissatisfaction and all kinds of doubts in their hearts and looked at Spielberg.
Spielberg smiled and turned on the video, restarting the part of the Meiyu performance, after the broadcast, he looked at Meiyu and said in a soft voice: "AY, you can explain it." ”
Mei Yu stood up from the goodness, but played the video again, this time, she turned off the sound, on the screen, the tacit cooperation of a family of three before eating, and the demeanor during the meal was calm, looking like an oil painting.
She coughed twice and explained, "Actually, everyone performed quite well. If I didn't have any experience in acting abroad, I would probably choose to express myself in the same way as you. ”
She paused, and finally revealed the mystery: "This film." After all, it is necessary to distribute in Heng, so it is not enough to consider the personalities of the characters in the script. Also consider the level of acceptance of the audience. ”
She pointed to the picture she had taken: "It's like this in China, where parents urge marriage." It's hard to understand in a foreign country, so it's a little weird to make a big fuss with your parents about it, but it's acceptable to simply care about your child's lifelong events, and finding a balance ♀ between domestic audiences and foreign audiences is the purpose of my shooting. ”
The actresses were speechless, the collective silence, the loss was not unjust at all, this film is directed by an American director, and the investor is also a foreign businessman, thinking with your toes, you can guess that it will definitely premiere abroad.
Then, after reading the script, they didn't consider the acceptance of foreign audiences at all. Defeated by the plum rain, which is considered a last resort, there is nothing to complain about at all.
Meiyu sent the actresses to the car one by one, and the last two were Xiang Ling and Yan Liang, they walked side by side in front of Meiyu ≌ Liang had a complicated expression, looking at Meiyu, after all, she only let out a sigh.
Success and failure are only a small step away, and opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared.
The film soon began to shoot in earnest.
Meiyu, who has memorized the script like a stream, was still greatly shocked during filming.
Speaking of which, although I had a lot of contact with Mr. Spielberg in the past, and the two officially cooperated, it was the first time in the world.
Upon closer contact, it was discovered that Mr. Spielberg was a gentle perfectionist.
From the time he was filming, he was going to die when he chose a location, and Meiyu deeply understood what it was like to drive an off-road vehicle around the highway in a circle.
Eventually, Mr. Spielberg's chosen location was a small southern town, and the script was changed, and the heroine's original birthplace was changed from the north to the south.
The town is very comfortable, with bluestone slabs, small bridges and flowing water, accompanied by neat and beautiful residential buildings, revealing a vibrant smell.
And the place where the heroine works in the city is finally set to Shanghai, in the most prosperous Bund, Mei Yu's favorite point, at night, looking out from the heroine's office building, I happen to see the wonderful night view of the Bund.
The filming went very smoothly, and it took about half a year for the whole film to be officially completed, which was originally a very simple warm story and did not require a lot of stunts.
After Mei Yu watched the film, she was also overwhelmed by the beautiful pictures in the film, and she had an impulse to buy a house in the town.
The film was released simultaneously in the United States and China, and Mei Yu participated in the domestic premiere, and many friends in the circle, including more than a dozen well-known actresses who auditioned at the beginning, came to her premiere en masse, making it worth it for the entertainment reporters who ran the news.
At the beginning of the film, it appeared on the unique bluestone road of the Jiangnan water town, accompanied by a string of loud bicycle bells, the girl passed by with her schoolbag and her classmates laughing, and the theater was filled with the laughter of the girls, which made people's mood relax.
The girl went to class step by step, in class, with one hand on her cheek, the pen in her hand scribbled at will, the teacher found out, walked up to her, picked up her sketchbook, and looked at it casually, the picture book was all-inclusive, there were breakfast stalls selling chaos, fishermen holding boats, and cottages with misty cooking smoke at night - this small sketchbook seemed to accommodate the entire water town.
The last page of the notebook,It's the back of the teacher struggling to write on the blackboard.,A chuckle came out.,The book was returned.,Low instruction: "Don't draw in class.。 ”
The girl put away the book in a panic and smiled shyly.
In the blink of an eye, when it was time for the high school graduation ceremony, the girl got up in a hurry, grabbed a steaming fritter from the table, and rushed towards the door, and the strange sound of her mother came from behind.
Teenagers and girls took a group photo to say goodbye, the girl's high school career was fixed on a group photo, the girl standing in the crowd was not conspicuous at all, but like everyone else, smiling brightly.
The screen switched, the girl had changed into a professional suit, and participated in the interview in a restrained manner, and the examiner of the interview, after asking a few questions casually, suddenly answered in her hometown dialect, with a glutinous and soft southern dialect, pleasant like two larks singing in unison.
The girl's expression was relieved, and after answering the interview questions, she excitedly discussed the chaos stall in her memory, the starlit bazaar at night.
The interviewer's face is full of nostalgia for the interviewer who is over half a hundred years old, and the girl is more ambitious, she has just left home not long ago, and she doesn't know that this is not long, sometimes it is a lifetime.
The next picture moves very fast, the girl goes from a newcomer in the workplace, a group of people who are instructed by her predecessors to become a strong woman who stands alone, and the middle just relies on the change of scenery outside the office to show the change of stars.
It was another night of overtime, she looked up from her desk, rubbed the stiff back of her neck, stood up, picked up her coffee, and looked out the window at the night scene.
Under the high-rise buildings, each building has neon lights flashing, and the river water complements each other, forming a piece of drunken beauty.
Her expression was softened, reminding her hometown many years ago.
The phone rang, and it was her mother's chatter again, and she responded gently, pronouncing it simply, not refuting or answering.
She returned to her hometown, and her mother and father asked her to go on a blind date, and she reluctantly agreed.
When she went on a blind date, she picked up the problem of her youth, and the pen in her hand scribbled randomly on the tablecloth of the café, and the man opposite was reduced by her to a spitting frog, rippling in a river bay.
After going back, under the pretext of being busy with work, he repeatedly refused his mother's request until his mother couldn't bear it anymore and confided in the news that his father had a heart attack.
She took a plane back, and at first glance, her parents were much older than she remembered.
Sitting in the wicker chair, listening to my mother's nagging, shining in the golden sun, I suddenly felt that this was not bad.
At the end of the film, the girl wears flat-soled sandals, pulls up her trouser legs, and walks on the bluestone pavement with a string of fresh crabs in her hand.
A string of bells rang behind her, and the girl turned her head and smiled at a group of young girls riding by.
At the end of the film, the moviegoers stood up and applauded, Yan Liang stood beside Mei Yu and said in a low voice: "It's so beautiful, it can actually shoot the oil painting style of a European town." ”
Mei Yu smiled slightly, and Lu Hui on the other side interjected and asked, "I'm only curious about one thing, where did the last string of crabs go?" ”
Rainy season: "......"
The simultaneous release of the film in the United States has also achieved good results, Spielberg's fame is certainly one thing, and there is another reason, the film shows many original Chinese specialties, such as the morning hand-washing, the boat lady soliciting customers, these are full of indescribable beauty.
On the other hand, Shanghai's urbanization is also surprising, and the city at night, surrounded by lights, is really no less than any international metropolis.
Comparing the two, a faint nostalgia erupted.
In fact, the fallen leaves return to the root of this film, and the various feelings in the film have always been very lightly blended together, like milk mixed with a lot of water, smelling a faint milky fragrance, tasting it, but the taste only lingers on the tip of the tongue, and will not condense to the entire mouth.
There is another reason why this film did well at the box office, it easily resonated with people, such as this kind of young people who have gone from small towns to cities, there are many in every country.
This film, the plot is simple and warm, the form is scattered but the spirit is not scattered, and according to the classification of the article genre, it should be a beautiful lyrical prose.
At least Meiyu herself still likes this film very much, compared with feature films, this film is very suitable for repeated viewing, like a cup of green tea, always with a faint fragrance.
The soundtrack is also very beautiful, and there is always cheerful light music echoing in the ears, sometimes soothing, sometimes soft.
So, when Mr. Spielberg told her that the film was going to compete for the Academy Awards, Mei Yu was not very surprised. (To be continued.) , () Vote for recommendation, monthly pass,,。
