Chapter Forty-Seven: Rave Reviews
"That's a good point, I think I didn't really understand the idea you want to express in the film until this moment, thank you, Kang Shao. Lin Qingxia listened and thought seriously, she is a sensual person, she has been in the film for more than ten years, she has been thinking about her future path, so far she has made more than 50 movies, she also hopes that she has a masterpiece of her own, and can get the Golden Horse Award actress or Academy Award actress she has been looking forward to for a long time. She may not have been able to care in the past, but the lack of affection made her not know whether to give up or continue, maybe she chose to go to Hong Kong to develop because she wanted to escape, calm herself down, and consider whether she still needs to continue. But when I get older, I start to think that I can't handle my feelings well, and I hope to be able to do a good job, which is why people often say that I don't want to do a good job.
"Mr. Ye, thank you very much for letting us make this film in Xinyicheng, in fact, we just thought that this film was close to the real life in Taiwan at the beginning, but we didn't consider these deep-seated things, which is also our mistake, before we make this movie, we should also let the director and producer have a deep communication with you, I hope we can do better next time we work together again." Huang Baiming is also thinking, in fact, everyone can see different things when they watch movies, but some people stop thinking after watching it, but some people will continue to think and discuss, which is the different experience and happiness that movies bring to people, "Lin Da Beauty, you can convey these words just now to Qiong Yaoshi, I believe that her film reviews will be more full tomorrow." ”
"Okay, I will definitely try to repeat it to Sister Qiong Yao in full. Lin Qingxia nodded in response.
"It's late, do you want to go out for a drink? To be able to meet in Taiwan today, we should celebrate it. Ye Chengkang looked at his watch and said.
"Okay, Mr. Ye will definitely appreciate his face when he treats him. Lin Da Meinu called Aijia and them together, let's see if Ms. Qiong Yao is going?" Xu Ke said.
"I want to go to everything, but I'm not familiar with Taiwan, the location is up to you, and I'll be responsible for paying the bill. "Ye Chengkang has never been a stingy person, and it is also appropriate to be able to dig up Xu Ke and Shi Nansheng to celebrate today.
"Okay, I'll see who's available. Lin Qingxia smiled and greeted the rest of the staff, so a large group of people killed the Yuanshan Hotel, because among these people are not stars like Qiong Yao and Lin Qingxia and Zhang Aijia, there are also celebrities like Huang Baiming and Xu Ke, if you go to the night market, it is estimated that you will not be recognized if you can't eat anything, and it will be endless signatures at that time, so everyone still decided to go to the big hotel, anyway, Lin Qingxia knew that Ye Chengkang lived there, and it was convenient to eat there.
Ye Chengkang sat there at three tables, some staff made two tables, Ye Chengkang, Qiong Yao, Lin Qingxia, Huang Baiming, Xu Ke, Shi Nansheng, Zhang Aijia, Yu Zhanping, Luo Huifang, Xu Jiayi and Fang Qiaorong sat at a table, everyone talked about the movie "The Wrong Car" just now, especially Qiong Yao who heard Lin Qingxia repeat Ye Chengkang's words just now.
"Kang Shao, thank you, thank you for showing me another kind of beauty, crying is also a kind of beauty, it makes me know that my life is still very happy and fulfilling, and it also makes me experience tolerance and gratitude. Qiong Yao raised her wine glass and touched it with Ye Chengkang.
"Ms. Qiong Yao is polite, I grew up reading your novels, but after I went to the UK, I realized that life is not easy, so I came up with the idea of writing a script, which is also from my master I heard a small story after my own processing, causing you to cry for most of the night, I'm really sorry. Ye Chengkang took a sip of the beer in his glass.
"Don't call me Madam, make me feel very old, you are younger than Qingxia, call me Sister Qiong Yao like her, I am more comfortable to listen to. Qiong Yao took a sip of beer and said.
"Okay, Sister Qiong Yao, I'll toast you again, I'll kill it, you feel free. Ye Chengkang poured himself another glass of beer.
"Kang Shao, I also toast you, thank you for letting Qingxia bring me such a good script, I hope we will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future. Zhang Aijia has always been bold, and she drank the wine in her hand in one gulp. Ye Chengkang did not shirk, stood up and drank a glass of wine with Zhang Aijia.
Huang Baiming and Xu Ke also toasted Ye Chengkang one after another, and they didn't reciprocate without being rude, so Ye Chengkang also gave a glass in return, this banquet is Luo Huifang The three of them have not drunk from beginning to end, Ye Chengkang only started to introduce them to all of them at the beginning, the three women are not insiders, many topics are not interested, the three of them talk about themselves together, eat something and drink juice and enjoy themselves, the three women add wine to Ye Chengkang from time to time, knowing that beer is not a big problem for him. Qiong Yao ate something and went back, everyone knew that she was going to write a movie review tonight, but she didn't say anything, Ye Chengkang called Zhao Fei to come down and send Qiong Yao back, Qiong Yao responded with a smile.
After eating this supper for more than two hours, Ye Chengkang and the others went back to the hotel to rest, while Zhang Aijia arranged for other staff and Huang Baiming to them.
In the newspaper the next day, Qiong Yao's "The Wrong Car" - the movie that made me cry for half the night was in the newspaper.
"What a familiar voice, how many years of wind and rain with me, never need to remember, never forget, there is no heaven and earth, there is no land where there is a home, there is no home where there is you, there is no me without you, if you have not raised me, give me a warm life, if you have not protected me, what will be my fate, it is you who raised me, the first thing I said with me, it is you who give me a home, let me have it with you. Although you can't say a word, but you can better understand the black and white and true and false in the world, although you can't express your true feelings, but you have paid a hot life, how familiar your voice is from afar, reminds me of your kind heart, when will you come back to me, let me sing with you again, where is the wine dry, "This song makes me cry while writing now, this song runs through "Taking the Wrong Car" The song of the movie has a beautiful melody, but it makes me sad, the nose is slightly pantothenic, and there is a faint feeling of distress, I feel sorry for my dumb uncle, my heart hurts Xiaomei, when my heart hurts, Junmai is full of heartache, and my heart hurts my sister-in-law......
At the beginning of the movie, it opens with Uncle Dumb and Zhilan, the vicissitudes of life Uncle Dumb, the simple Zhilan, they live a hard but happy life, and Xiaomei, the appearance of an abandoned baby changed their lives, two-month-old Xiaomei, crying all day and all night made Zhilan complain, Uncle Dumb's care and love for her made her continue to take care of Xiaomei patiently, however, it was Uncle Dumb who put her only request- After a bottle of rice wine was replaced with Xiaomei's milk, her dissatisfaction broke out completely, and running away from home was her solution, leaving Uncle Dumb and Xiaomei to depend on each other, and then Uncle Dumb had to take care of Xiaomei, and also went out to collect empty wine bottles to maintain their lives, I can't imagine what kind of life it is. Fortunately, the kind-hearted neighbor Aman and Sister-in-law take care of Xiaomei together, Xiaomei grows up in the care of Uncle Dumb, Aman, Sister-in-law, Armin and others, maybe the child's imitation ability is very strong, maybe he was moved by the love of the dumb uncle, under the urging of Ah Ming many times, Xiaomei, who was dressed in red and tied with pigtails, actually called her father to the dumb uncle, and the dumb uncle was ecstatic. He hugged Xiaomei excitedly and couldn't wait to tell the neighbors. There was a bright light in his bleak and embarrassed life, and his eyes sparkled with hope. Xiaomei, who gradually grew up, in the ridicule of her classmates, she felt how humiliating it was to have such a father, and she never wanted her dumb uncle to send her to the school gate when she went to school, which made the dumb uncle secretly sad. And Aman gambled and won money to buy gifts for everyone, but on the way home due to drunkenness fell into the river and drowned, Man's sister-in-law hurried to the river after learning the news, but the house was on fire, and Ah Kun was buried in the fire for Xiaomei's doll. Despite the loss of a house and the loss of loved ones, life goes on for the living.
As she grows up, she becomes a slim and beautiful girl, and she finds a job singing in a bar to support herself and her dumb uncle. Uncle Dumb smiled happily, full of joy. Xiaomei meets a composer who is full of talent but has nowhere to show his talent in the bar - Shi Junmai. With the help of Shi Junmai, Xiaomei sang better and better, and her relationship with Shi Junmai became better and better. Finally, she was discovered by the music company, and the company wanted to make her a star, and her heart was struggling, and at this time she learned that the house they lived in was an illegal building and was going to be demolished, and the government asked them to move within a time limit, but the dumb uncle and they didn't have the money to buy a new house. So under the persecution of real life, she made up her mind to become a professional singer and make money to buy a house for her dumb uncle. However, what Xiaomei didn't know was that she would lose a lot after that, and the company really made her a star, and she changed from poor and simple to bright and dazzling. But in order to cater to the tastes of the audience, the company wants to hide her true identity, pretending to be the daughter of a rich family, and rarely let her go home. At the press conference, Uncle Dumb wore his only suit to watch Xiaomei become a singer, but to his deep shock, Xiaomei did not admit that she was his daughter. Later, the dumb uncle could only see his daughter on TV, and at this moment, the dog who accompanied him at all times, Laifu died to save him, and Amin also died unexpectedly during the demolition. Xiaomei's agent took the money to find the dumb uncle and asked him to leave, this series of blows, excessive thoughts, accumulated hard work, the dumb uncle fell, before dying, he opened his eyes slightly, and conveyed his last wish to the sister-in-law, and the sister-in-law cried silently. Xiaomei came from the concert, but the father who gave her warmth and love passed away and couldn't see the daughter she raised by herself for the last time. In the end, Xiaomei sang Shi Junmai's "If the Wine Sells Nothing" written for her, Xiaomei's last song is sad and true, but the dumb uncle has left, this unforgettable love and hate, hurt and pain, maybe Xiaomei will spend her life to forget.
There is true love everywhere in the movie, love, family, friendship, and neighborly feelings. Love is indispensable in the play, although there are not many in the play, this is also a tragic element in the play, Xiaomei and Shi Junmai met Before Xiaomei's career started, Shi Junmai was an aspiring composer, he saw Xiaomei's potential in the bar and became Xiaomei's first teacher to become a singer. He wrote songs and arranged music for Xiaomei, and trained and performed with Xiaomei, one by one, over and over again, growing up with Xiaomei. In these days together, the two cherish each other and love each other. However, the appearance of a company agent with a strong commercial atmosphere made Xiaomei give up the national popular songs she loved and switch to commercial songs, which broke the relationship between the two. Under the packaging of the economic company, Xiaomei continued to become popular, but also lost the freedom in action and thought, Junmai tried to stop it, but had to succumb to reality, he finally chose to leave, because he did not allow his ideals to be commercially packaged, and in the end Junmai still wrote "Wine Dry and Sold Nothing" for Xiaomei, and also went to see Xiaomei's concert, he and Xiaomei were not together, this is the suspense given to us by "The Wrong Car".
And family affection is the focus of this film. Home was originally a luxury for Xiaomei, but the kind dumb uncle gave Xiaomei a warm home, gave Xiaomei love, and allowed Xiaomei to grow up happily. The original house of Uncle Dumb was made of a lot of empty wine bottles, which were the means of making a living for Uncle Dumb, but Uncle Dumb was also happy to spell out a unique wall of glass bottles, and it was in this hut that was full of laughter and laughter between Xiaomei and Uncle Dumb. As life changed, the cottage became a bungalow, and the walls made of glass bottles were well preserved and beautifully patterned. Uncle Dumb poured all his love into Xiaomei, and for Xiaomei, his wife Zhilan, who shared his ups and downs, also left him. However, in this room, the dumb uncle waited hard for his daughter, who had become a star, to come back to see him, and all he was waiting for was that his daughter refused to recognize him as a father for her own career. Eventually, his home will be demolished by the government, and Uncle Dumb will never be able to wait for his daughter to come to see him.
Friendship and neighborly love also run through the whole play, Xiaomei's growth, Aman, Sister-in-law, Ah Ming's care for her is indispensable, and even Ah Kun, who is mentally incomplete, is also full of care for her. Since childhood, my sister-in-law has taken care of her and eaten together during the festival, which is all mutual care between neighbors. In order to buy gifts for her and several children, Aman drowned on the way back from gambling, and on the same day, Sister-in-law's house caught fire, and Ah Kun died in the fire in order to save Xiaomei's doll. Ah Ming's unfortunate death in the demolition, what kind of despair was the sister-in-law at that time, the only son died, and even her last and only last hope was deprived, and it was such a person, who survived it, after the death of his son, but his life still had to go on. The money for the funeral was the money that Xiaomei bought for Uncle Dumb, and after the demolition, the store and residence where Sister-in-law did business were also bought by Uncle Dumb, how precious is this kind of love between neighbors.
In the play, I am also impressed by Laifu, the dog is human, Xiaomei saved Laifu from her father, and she was destined to have an indissoluble bond with this family. It fights with the snake in order to save Xiaomei, Laifu is saved by Xiaomei, when Xiaomei leaves home, the dumb uncle pins his thoughts on his daughter on Laifu, it has always been with the lonely dumb uncle, and has become an important companion by the dumb uncle. However, in order to save the dumb uncle, it died under the wheels, it lay on the ground covered in blood, the dumb uncle sat on the ground in a daze, and the passers-by hurriedly left after seeing it, and no one knew what kind of effect this dog had on this lonely old man. From then on, he was really the only one left.
And in the end, what kind of mood is Xiaomei, the father who raised her left before she could repay his father's love, and before she died, she didn't see her father for the last time, so that her father passed away in regret, and who is to blame for all this, who can say?
I would like to thank screenwriter Kang Shao for telling me such a touching story, which made me cherish my current life and the people around me even more. I would also like to thank the director and producer for presenting this story in its entirety, and also thank Miss Lin Qingxia, she let me see another side of her, as an actress, she played this Xiaomei very well, I hope this can become her masterpiece.
