Chapter 167: Epiphany
There is a kind of flower called epiphany, which blooms only at night, as if you don't want people to see it, and it will wither immediately after it blooms, and only the moment when the flower blooms, it is extremely beautiful.
But people will see it after all, and after seeing it, it will be unforgettable, and they will have a lot of feelings, that is, they will unconsciously come up with many stories.
It was short-lived, just for Wei Tuo, and this story was very sad and poignant.
The bloom is very short-lived, but some things are very long, and they can be particularly delayed.
Bai Shiqiu couldn't have imagined that he and Zhou Xun filmed "Baby in Love" in 2002, but it dragged on until Valentine's Day in 2004.
In fact, it's not a drag, but Rongxin's two family members, Li Xiaowan and Li Shaohong are too serious and attach too much importance to this movie.
The movie "Baby in Love" has undergone a super long post-production, during which Rongxin's Shuangli was taken to France to do post-production special effects.
This film is an absolute big production this year, with the previous "Mobile Phone" achieving good box office results, and many people are also optimistic that this work will achieve better results.
This is foreshadowed in many ways.
Rongxin Shuangli is out, and the works of the two of them are guaranteed in terms of TV dramas.
Zhou Xun, performing with love, in all the previous interviews about this movie, Zhou Xun emphasized very much that this movie is the most devoted to her performance, and even has a state of selflessness many times, she is 'baby', 'baby' is her.
In addition, that is the new Xiaosheng, Bai Shiqiu.
Now Bai Shiqiu's fame is rising, and although there are not many protagonists in the previous works, most of them are supporting roles, but these scenes are good, and they are very popular on the Internet.
Wasn't there a lot of people arguing on the Internet before, should Huang Rong be with Ouyang Ke?
Moreover, Bai Shiqiu is also a very successful young actor on the drama stage.
has strength, good looks, works, and a professional background, how can such a character not be popular?
Although it can't be compared with some predecessors, Bai Shiqiu already has a lot of people who know it, especially some young people.
With so many factors accumulating, it is difficult for this "Baby in Love" not to be popular.
But some people don't see it that way.
……
"Brother Dong."
"Lao Bai, come on, let's have a drink."
Bai Shiqiu naturally has to do a lot of promotion, the main market of the movie "Baby" is the capital, fortunately, he doesn't have to go too far, during the period, Yu Dong came to him and had a drink.
Drinking and chatting, Bai Shiqiu felt that Yu Dong was going to talk about things.
"Brother Dong, do you have anything to say?"
"Old white." Yu Dong also looked left and right, "What do you think, what is the movie "Baby"? ”
"That's good."
"Let's tell the truth, buddy."
"It's a bit ......"
"Lao Bai, many theater leaders have told me, after watching the film, they don't know the bottom of their hearts, but this scene was done by those two girls, they have too much energy and can't afford to provoke them."
Next, Yu Dong was like pouring bitter water.
Bai Shiqiu understood at the time, and he originally understood that this movie was not good by Shuangli, maybe it was quite artistic and terrifying, but it was more difficult to make money.
Although Bai Shiqiu changed it through hard work to make the ending less bloody, this is only the end, and the whole film may still be difficult to reverse.
What films haven't the people from the theater company seen?
Whether it can make money or not, how can they not see it?
So......
"Brother Dong told me what these things for? I'm just an actor. ”
When Yu Dong heard this, he smiled, "Lao Bai, don't play this game with your brother Dong, what kind of strength do you kid have, don't I know yet?" In this way, did you Red Star make another film? ”
Bai Shiqiu also smiled, "I just got the screening permit." ”
Everyone understands this, and there is no need to hide it.
Yu Dong said directly: "The leaders told me that once the film "Baby" doesn't work, then you have to take a film to make up for it, everyone wants to make money, how about your Red Star?" ”
"It's still a horror movie." Bai Shiqiu replied.
"Good! That's great! "Yu Dong can be unhappy about this," divide, the people over there told me that they can give a share. ”
Bai Shiqiu has always wanted more people when he sees the benefits, otherwise he would not be where he is today, so he said with a smile on his face: "Brother Dong, this matter is too anxious, our Red Star has placed very high expectations on this film, we originally wanted to promote it well......"
Without waiting for Bai Shiqiu to finish speaking, Yu Dong hurried, "Stop, stop, Lao Bai, I will obey you, just say it directly, what are your conditions?" ”
"Guaranteed share."
"How much of a guarantee?"
"We want at least 5 million Red Star."
"What about the box office line?"
"8 million."
"Lao Bai, you're black enough."
"The details can be studied again."
"Baby in Love" Shuang Li has been shouting, this is an art film, with Ye Jintian joining, and post-production in France, at this time, everyone else is talking about art, and the two of them are talking about money.
……
Yao Beina is idle, and a fool gave her a hundred yuan, and the movie ticket is very cheap, February 14th, this day is Valentine's Day in the West, I am a big girl, I have never been in love when I am so old, can't I watch a love movie?
She is a girl who is almost 24 years old, she also wants to indulge herself, and she also wants to have a vigorous love, but some people don't let her, she can't help it, she can't resist that person.
"Baby in Love", starring, Zhou Xun, Bai Shiqiu.
On the poster, on the Internet, on TV, there are all kinds of publicity for this movie, which is really attractive.
It's just that this Bai Shiqiu doesn't seem to be the same as the one she saw, this Bai Shiqiu is a little mature, in the movie, his name is Liu Zhi.
Let's take a look.
At today's premiere, there are a lot of people, and Yao Beina looks very peculiar because she is alone.
Such a time, such a place, and such a movie, of course, are all a couple.
I was a little inexplicably angry, but I still sat down and watched, maybe it was not enough experience, empty-handed, and I didn't buy anything.
I've forgotten how many times I've been in love.
Each time it ended in failure.
I'm tired of taking care of people.
I still want someone to take care of me.
Hey, it's not the same when you get married.
You can't just turn around and leave.
But you have to be careful, you have to be prepared, wear body armor, wear a helmet, otherwise, if you are not careful, your flesh will be blown up.
On the big screen, Liu Zhi was talking with Erlang's legs crossed and a cigarette in his mouth, and at this time, a picture of himself he filmed was the content of the videotape.
When Yao Beina saw this scene, she really couldn't believe that the person in front of her was the guy who had followed her before, although they were all driving BMW...... Wait a minute.
It's a car.
Is this acting?
Yao Beina was asking herself, she knew that the people in the play were different from the real ones, but they seemed to be the same, they all had such a feeling, very free, very self-conscious, and very proud, but this one in the play is much more mature.
And next......
"What the hell is going on?"
"Inexplicable."
"It's kind of ...... Scary feeling. ”
There are a lot of very strange shots, as well as some inexplicable scene transitions, just like Liu Zhi and Baobao, who were originally at Liu Zhi's house, and then they didn't know how, so they went to a construction site...... Also rolled the sheets.
Yao Beina doesn't watch many movies, let alone such movies.
In her opinion, it is not very weird, not too scary, but very novel.
Until the end......
"Wow! I see. ”
"Grass! Are the two of them together? ”
"Is this a waste of our time?"
At the end, everything was revealed, the baby certainly had paranoia, and Liu Zhi also had it, he appeared in the mental hospital, and that day, he saw a strange girl, which was the baby.
Now, his eyes were glazed, and he showed that weird smirk.
What's the point of everything that happened in the movie?
A singing voice appeared with a melodious guitar.
It could be loneliness~
The air became very thin, and the city was full of neon desert~
I'm still waiting for you~
My heart is dying, what is going to stimulate my soul~
Too deep~
Too much~
Love will go crazy~
Leave it to you~
Free~
Spend in my suffering~~
This city is so empty~
This memory is so fierce~
This street is full of traffic~
Your brow is so heavy~
You miss it so much~
Alone~~~
……
This song was in Yao Beina's ears, and she instantly understood why Bai Shiqiu wanted her to watch this movie.
It's not a movie at all......
It's this song!
No, it's also a movie, and this song interprets the whole movie.
The men and women in the city, the lonely men and women, their love, maybe it's just their own imagination, just like in the movie, and in the end, it's just such a song.
Alone.
The voice is Zhouxun's, Yao Beina can hear it completely, her singing voice is not bad, but in terms of technique, there are other ...... What if you sing it yourself?
It would never be so bland, and it wouldn't take a guitarist to deal with her.
She must be able to sing more transpositions, more wonderful variations.
In the theater, the lights were on, but the music didn't stop, the music didn't stop, Yao Beina didn't move, she didn't move, in her head, she was singing this song.
Her eyes didn't stop, staring, waiting, until the CAST rolled for a long time, and finally determined that this song was indeed written by Bai Shiqiu.
Although, I knew it early on, it was originally called "Empty City".
I can't help but close my eyes, and my mind keeps singing this song by myself, indulging myself again and again, and indulging myself more and more......
It turns out that I have always been so lonely.
"Girl, what's wrong with you?"
"Oh, hug...... I'm sorry. ”
The theater needs to be cleaned in order to welcome the next guests, but the cleaning aunt found a girl and never left.
Yao Beina was a little trembling, but in the end she insisted on rushing to the bathroom, she had just ......
Sniff~
The cleaning aunt smelled, "What kind of strange smell?" ”
On February 14, Red Star Bar held an event, buy one get one free.
But today, Bai Shiqiu ushered in a very anxious guest.
"Bai Shiqiu, I can join you Red Star."
"Welcome, let's talk inside."
"It's not that much trouble, but there are some things I have to make clear, I would love to try other music, but I don't want my dad to know about this attempt. Or rather, he must not be allowed to know. ”
Facing Yao Beina, Bai Shiqiu estimated that she watched the "Baby", and the "Empty City" she made by herself should have played a role.
Regarding Yao Beina's father, Bai Shiqiu has heard some rumors that the original fate of this talented female singer has a lot to do with her father.
The wild Huang Cui had to be locked in a small cage and offered to it.
The spirituality is gone.
Bai Shiqiu scratched his chin, "There is a job right now, our Red Star is going to shoot a big drama, "Smiling Proud Jianghu", sing it to you, how about it?" ”
When Yao Beina heard this, she was very disappointed, "Is this different from what I used to be?" ”
At this time, Bai Shiqiu became old-fashioned, "Sister Na, don't worry, Brother Wang has looked for you before, right?" ”
"yes." Yao Beina still doesn't understand.
Bai Shiqiu looked left and right and said: "Actually, my original plan was to hold a music festival, a rock music festival. ”
"Huh?" Hearing this, Yao Beina's eyes finally lit up.
An epiphany, budding to be released.
