Xu Hengzhou is not crazy, at least at this moment, he knows very well what he is doing.

He's waiting for the next plot point.

But director Han Jie almost fell into madness.

He couldn't help but fall into excitement, and shouted excitedly at the walkie-talkie in his hand: "Hurry up, it's now, drive me over!" ”

When the staff heard the instructions of the walkie-talkie, they immediately started the car and drove towards the set, all the way from the entrance of the village.

When the car drove to the entrance of the village, the car did not enter the camera, but the sound had already entered everyone's ears first:

"Covering an area of 800 acres, the unique version design will bring you villa-style enjoyment."

Xu Hengzhou knew that this was a sign that the next plot point was coming.

Li Yaohui stood on an elevated shelf of seven or eight meters and held the camera without any protective measures, it was already very difficult to maintain this posture and stand still to shoot Xu Hengzhou, but when he heard the sound sound, he did not hesitate to turn his body directly and give the camera to the car that drove into the village.

It was a blue truck.

There was a sign hanging in front of the car that said the relocation plan publicity vehicle.

Wangdu Town, where the tree is located, was originally a mining town, but because of the lack of surveillance in the early years, there were many people who mined illegally, so that wild mines were everywhere in the town, and the environment was severely damaged.

In recent years, the mining industry here has been sluggish, and the development of the town has lagged far behind in previous years.

The lack of job opportunities has caused all the young people who dare to fight to go out into the world outside the town, and only some elderly people and children remain in the village.

Because the living environment in the mining county is not good, the town government took the lead in starting this relocation plan.

Xu Hengzhou heard the sound of the radio playing as the car entered, but it was the mood of the tree.

When the tree squats on the tree, it represents the transformation of the entire movie world from reality to fantasy.

And the sound brought by this car is exactly the dividing line between reality and unreality.

Despite the fact that the village has trees, it is difficult to say that it is beautiful, and there are even some tragic memories of childhood, teenagers and young adults.

But the tree is one of the few young people who has never thought of leaving the village.

He longs for life outside the village, but he is afraid of the outside world.

What's more, the outside world has always given him only cruelty.

He is cowardly.

Therefore, he yearns for reality and a better life in the future, but he can only live in fantasy and realize all kinds of beauty he wants to pursue through fantasy.

Xu Hengzhou listened to the radio sound in his ears:

"Considerate care for people, shaping personality."

"Expansion of human settlements."

"A happy life flows inadvertently."

"Sun New City, the sun in my heart."

but the heart is full of desolation.

He squatted on the tree, curled up his body with all his might, wrapped himself, especially felt the sunlight flowing on him, and hugged himself tighter, unwilling to let his inner touch a little light.

Li Yaohui had already turned the camera back to Xu Hengzhou at this time.

Director Jia Zhangke took off his sunglasses, he looked at the panicked tree in the monitor holding his head and burying his head deep in his knees, thinking of his films being banned repeatedly, and thinking of the sentence he said in a magazine interview: "The times move forward, making a huge roar, and the countryside is silent." ”

When he said this sentence at that time, there was a trace of anger in his heart.

That's why it's very important.

But seeing this scene in front of him, he thought of his original intention.

He just filmed ordinary people with an ordinary mood, but he didn't expect it to become "special" on the screen.

Trees are the bottom figures, who are on the edge because of various accidents, but they are actually the majority of society.

And he made movies, and the reason why those who watch movies regard such ordinary people as special people is only one explanation, those who watch movies are too idle.

Also, if you are not idle, how can you watch such a so-called boring art film for an hour or two?

But in fact, more people can relate to characters like the tree, but they are unwilling to admit that they are the same person as the tree.

Director Jia Zhangke's mouth showed a faint mockery, and when he had just given birth to a little independent artist feeling, he heard Director Han Jie next to him say, ", this shot is good!" ”

In an instant, what kind of art, feelings, messy feeling is gone.

He wordlessly followed Director Han Jie's words to look at the camera.

Suddenly stunned!

The tree that had been squatting on the tree and holding his head and not looking at the camera.

After the relocation plan propaganda car gradually drove away, and the sound gradually moved away.

Carefully and slowly lift the buried head up.

It was a tentative effort from the root of the ear, then to the corner of the eye, and then to a little white, and slowly, slowly revealed in front of the camera.

Finally, it is fixed on half an eye.

At this time, the sky is overcast and there is no sunlight.

But the half of the eye was shining.

There is an indescribable yearning in it.

Han Jie: "There is! ”

Jia Zhangke: "There is! ”

The two directors glanced at each other at the same time, and they instantly had a sufficient confidence in this movie.

With this shot, the tone of the whole movie is set.

Especially director Han Jie, his expectations for this movie were actually very simple.

He likes the texture of movies in the 50s and 60s, and wants to shoot characters at the bottom of society and expose social realities.

So shooting a character like a tree has become his first choice.

But when he was sorting out the script and organizing the thoughts in his head, he found that he wanted a lot of things.

I also want to talk about the gap between urban and rural areas, empty nesters caused by the changes of the times, and other social problems in the movie.

I also want to tell the public a story about people at the bottom of society, and I want to use such a story to metaphorize that many people in society are actually living on fantasy, and in reality, they have already been driven crazy by various problems.

The ideas are all good, but there is not a very clear shaped thread strung together.

Director Han Jie looked at the camera in the monitor, he knew that there was now!

All of the fantasies of the tree arise because of enough despair experienced in reality.

But doesn't this fantasy also show more about human resilience?

No matter how desperate you are, what you yearn for is still beautiful.

Cough.

Director Han Jie knew that there were often people in the crew who said that he was crazy, but he didn't think it himself, but when he had such a thought now, he felt that the tree was crazy, but it was a pursuit of happiness, and he suddenly felt that he was really crazy.
