4. Movies
Two people who had never known each other before sat together.
And then what?
And then......
Love, of course.
…………
There are always some people in this world who seem to have a strange charm.
This charisma has nothing to do with their looks, talents, or status, but is a kind of sincerity from the inside out.
The contagion is pure and fiery, like a flame that melts everything.
So when Zhou Xun said "I like you", Jing Tian's mind inexplicably jumped out of this narration from "Suzhou River".
Zhou Xun was 24 years old that year, and now ten years later, Zhou Xun still seems to be the same Zhou Xun.
Jing Tian subconsciously looked at Li Qing beside him.
Li Qing didn't seem to be surprised by Zhou Xun's words, he just took off his coat, and inside was a clean silk linen shirt, at this time he tilted his head slightly and looked at Zhou Xun, the corners of his mouth were raised, and a pair of peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, making his eyes seem to outline a stretched eyeliner.
He didn't say anything, but it was as if he had said everything.
If you put the two people at this time under the director's lens.
One is Lou Ye's "Suzhou River", like a mermaid, smart and real.
The other is Wong Kar-wai's "Chongqing Forest", like a cat, nostalgic and estranged.
The lonely and deep sense of story between the two people is like the imprint left by old film, and when it comes to your mind, you inexplicably feel that it is damp.
Jing Tian hated this feeling a little, like lice had grown from the dampness, and he wanted to go crazy with irritation.
"Does loneliness have a shape?" She held her chin and looked at Zhou Xun.
A pair of apricot eyes are full of innocence and ignorance.
Ah, I look like a bad woman.
"Absolutely." Zhou Xun pouted and spit out a smoke ring, stretched out a slender finger and gently outlined, so the circular arc was bent and deformed, she smiled and looked at Li Qing, and said, "But I have always felt that the shape of loneliness is a triangle. ”
"Triangles?" Jing Tian's ignorance this time is true, "Your answers are different!" ”
Then why do you like him?
There was a smile in Li Qing's voice: "The triangle is the most stable in structure, and loneliness itself is also a stable normality. At the end of the day, loneliness is a feeling, and we just visualize it with words and words, so there is no standard answer. ”
Neurotic!
Jing Tian glared at him: "You understand again?" Are you lonely? ”
"He adopted a cat, so he wanted to buy a house. I think that feeling is much more lonely than when I speak to the clouds in the sky. ”
Zhou Xun leaned on the arm of the chair, her palm lightly supporting her slightly biased head, the cigarette was still burning between her fingers, the smoke was ethereal in the blazing white light, her eyes looked at Li Qing without blinking, and asked, "Are you afraid of loneliness?" ”
"I was scared before." Li Qing put his arms on the armrests of the chair, leaning on the back of the chair relaxedly, as if lying on the soft clouds, "That feeling is a bit like a cold, there is no cure, you can only boil." ”
"And now?"
"It's fine now."
Introspection is actually taking out your heart to show yourself, but once you have an audience, it becomes a performance.
So Li Qing just smiled and didn't say much.
Zhou Xun's assistant led people in at this time and served the food.
Zhou Xun extinguished the cigarette butt and asked, "Do you drink?" ”
"Nope."
Zhou Xun joked: "Quit drinking? ”
"Not really. I don't drink. ”
"Then your life is too boring."
Li Qing shrugged, the smile on his face as always.
Zhou Xun took the tableware that the assistant had scalded, handed it to Jing Tian, and said with a smile: "Let's eat, you're welcome." ”
"Thank you." Jing Tian took it and thanked him.
Li Qing took a sip of tea, then picked up the chopsticks and said casually: "It is really fate to meet Sister Xun in a sea of people, so I'm welcome." ”
"You're welcome." Zhou Xun looked at him and said with a smile, "We may still be neighbors in the future." ”
"Huh?" Li Qing was stunned for a moment, swallowed the food in his mouth, and then said, "You are also going to buy a house in contemporary MOMA?" ”
"Hmm." Zhou Xun nodded, "So, we have more opportunities to deal with each other in the future." ”
"That relationship is good, and I can be neighbors with Sister Xun." Li Qing pursed his lips, "It's decided, I'll sign the house purchase contract tomorrow." ”
"Then I'll make an appointment with you tomorrow." Zhou Xun said, "You leave me your contact information, and I'll help you get a discount." ”
"Huh, there's a discount?"
"Because I'm Zhouxun." Zhou Xun smiled and winked at him.
How powerful Zhou Xun is, He Jiong said something like this: [It's easy to introduce her awards, she has won ...... All awards. 】
Although Zhou Xun has not yet reached the peak at this time, she is already the queen of the Paris International Film Festival, the queen of the Hundred Flowers Award, the queen of the Academy Awards, and the queen of the Golden Horse Awards.
Among the actresses at this time, only Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi can press her.
So she is Zhou Xun, which community she lives in, the housing prices in the community will be raised.
Li Qing reported his mobile phone number and said with a smile: "Sister Xun, then I will mess with you in the future." ”
Zhou Xun saved the number and dialed Li Qing's phone, she looked at Li Qing, motioned for Li Qing to answer the phone, and said into the microphone: "Okay, then you can give me a smile." ”
"Huh?" Li Qing touched the corners of his mouth, "Didn't I smile?" ”
"Aren't you tired of smiling so fakely?" Zhou Xun stared into his eyes and wondered, "Your smile is the same as that of a blind man." ”
Li Qing's fingers holding the phone were a little stiff: "Ha, is it?" Probably because I like to spend a lot of money. ”
At this time, Zhang Zhilin's version of "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" was becoming popular.
Li Qing didn't tell a lie, compared to Lu Xiaofeng with four eyebrows, he really preferred the warm and jade-like Hua Manlou.
"I once played the role of a blind woman, and I deliberately observed the habits of blind people, and I found that whether they were walking or standing and sitting, the corners of their mouths were raised."
Zhou Xun didn't take his words, thinking back to the past, his voice was not in a hurry, "I was very curious at the time, so I asked the principal of the school for the blind." The principal said that the smile was their weapon, and the only weapon, carrying hope to fend off the world that made them feel uneasy. ”
Li Qing lowered his head slightly, the light hit the side of his face, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
Everyone at the table looked at him, he put down his phone, rubbed his stiff face, his eyes swept over everyone, and a bright smile overflowed on his face again, revealing his white teeth: "Ah, get used to it." ”
"It's too stiff." Zhou Xun commented, hung up the phone, and said with a smile, "Let's eat, I'm hungry." ”
“……”
"How old are you?"
"Just a freshman."
"Huh? So small? Zhou Xun was a little surprised, "How old are you this year?" ”
"I was born in '88."
"88 years? He was 19 years old. Do you like acting? ”
"I don't like it. What I actually like is movies. ”
"It's good, too. I like it when I play with it. ”
"Haha, I like to play. Sometimes, though, you have to play alone. It's sad to play around. ”
Zhou Xun slapped the table with a smile when he heard this: "Haha, then you are the same as me." ”
"What are you doing alone? Games? Jing Tian couldn't help but ask.
"Play with myself!" Li Qing and Zhou Xun spoke in unison.
"Haha, I'll just say I like you!" Zhou Xun raised his hand, "Come, Give me five!" ”
Li Qing slapped her hands.
Zhou Xun said: "Have you ever made a movie? ”
"Nope."
"Do you want to make a movie?"
"Yes. I like to try new things. Li Qingdao, "To be honest, I didn't have a sense of direction before.
My biggest dream was to see the great rivers and mountains of my motherland. The life I want to live the most is to be able to lie down like a salted fish all the time.
But when I finished doing this, I felt quite lost.
But then I figured out that I might as well be a little stupider, go through it, regret it, and do what I like, instead of what others think is right. ”
Jing Tian silently raised his hand: "So you scored more than 600 points in the college entrance examination, and you came to Yanjing Film Academy?" ”
"Hmm." Li Qing smiled, "But there are only so many resources in the circle, so I have thought that if no one asks me to make a movie in the future, then I will stay in school and become a teacher, which is also good." ”
Zhou Xun said: "I have a book in my hand, do you want to come and have fun?" ”
"Huh?" Li Qing was quite surprised, but he didn't think much about it, Zhou Xun casually mentioned it, and he casually responded, "Okay!" ”
"Can you take a leave of absence in your freshman year?"
"I can't take a general leave. However, our old class said that Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige are exceptions, and I think the name Zhou Xun should be no problem. ”
"Hahaha, okay, then you wait for my news." Zhou Xun said with a smile, "The filming location is in Spring City, you are ready to prepare." ”
"Spring City? What kind of movie? ”
""What happened to Li Mi", I can't tell you the specifics yet."
"Understood." Li Qing nodded and didn't ask any more.
………
On the way back, Jing Tian didn't say a word.
Li Qing was a little strange: "Hey, I'm going to make a movie!" ”
Jing Tian glanced at him, ignored him, and turned his head to look out the window.
"Hey, I'm going to make a movie!" Li Qing raised his voice slightly.
Jing Tian finally accosted: "I know you're going to make a movie, so what's the matter?" ”
"Then why are you black-faced, aren't you happy for me?"
"Hehe, you're not afraid that people will sell you?"
Li Qing smiled dumbly: "How is it possible? ”
"How could it not be? When you meet in Pingshui, you have a meal, and people invite you to make a movie, do you know that there are unspoken rules in this circle? ”
"What nonsense? She's not that kind of person. ”
"How do you know she's not?"
"It may be that the gray hair is as good as new, and the cover is the same." Li Qing sighed, "Did you see her eyes?" It's really pure like a crystal, more real than her on the screen. ”
"Huh." Jing Tian didn't want to pay attention to him.
"Hey, as for it? Are you angry because we left you aside while we were chatting? ”
"Humph! I'm not that careful! ”
"Then I understand." Li Qing had a troubled expression on his face, "You're jealous of me!" ”
"I'm jealous of you?" Jing Tian looked incredulous, "You are insane, why should I be jealous of you?" ”
Li Qing was proud: "Because I'm going to make a movie!" ”
Jing Tian scoffed: "Cut!" I've already filmed it, or does the heroine know it? ”
"Really?" Li Qing was really surprised this time, "What movie?" ”
Jing Tian pouted: "Do you want to see it?" ”
"I want to see it."
"Then concentrate on driving."
"Understood!"
galloped all the way and soon returned to the apartment where Jing Tian lived.
Jing Tian got out of the car: "Let's go, go upstairs." ”
"Do you want to see it in your house?"
"Hmm."
Entering the door, Li Qing watched Jing Tian busy making fruit plates, tinkering with DVDs, solemnly closing the curtains, turning off the lights, and couldn't help but wonder: "You can't be acting in a horror movie, right?" ”
"That's right, thriller suspense horror movie!" Jing Tian was half-lying on the sofa, looked at Li Qing and smiled, "Hey, you won't be scared, right?" ”
"Haha, then you probably don't know how brave I am!" Li Qing sat down beside her and said with a smile, "I used to dub horror novels. ”
"Cut!" Jing Tian handed him a string of grapes, "Don't speak, let's start." ”
As soon as Li Qing ate a grape, he saw a snake popping out of the screen: "!" ”
His body stiffened suddenly, and then he noticed that the name of the movie was "Python Horror".
He got goosebumps in an instant, and his hairs stood up: "Hey, you have a snake in this movie!" ”
Jing Tian originally thought it was quite boring, but when he heard Li Qing's voice tremble, he suddenly became full of interest: "Hey, aren't you afraid?" Who said he was brave? ”
"You didn't say there were snakes!" Li Qing got up to leave, "I don't look at it, I almost forgot that Tang Yuan'er is still waiting for me in the dormitory." ”
Jing Tian grabbed him: "Who is Tang Yuan'er?" ”
"My cat."
"It's okay, the movie isn't long, it's not bad for a while!"
"I can't see this!" Li Qing's scalp was numb.
"Are you afraid of snakes?"
"Hmm. The former "Python Disaster" left a psychological shadow on me. Li Qing explained, rolled up his sleeves and said, "Look, I have goosebumps." ”
He did not say that after he became blind, he was so frightened that he was suffocated, and for a long time he could not sleep all night long.
"It's okay, this movie can't match the eight poles of "Python Disaster"." Jing Tian saw that he was really scared, so he didn't scare him anymore, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, that snake is fake, just a toy made of fabric!" ”
"Really? Don't lie to me? ”
"Really!" Jing Tian couldn't laugh, "With your guts, you dare to say that you are very brave, hahaha......"
"Then keep your voice down."
Li Qing finally decided to believe her, and in addition to the snake at the beginning, there was a zombie scene behind, he sat down with a fiercely beating heart, but he still subconsciously leaned towards Jing Tian's side.
"Are you so scared?" Jing Tian didn't laugh anymore, but he was amused again.
The snake did not appear again, which made Li Qing's mood gradually calm down, and he complained when he heard the words: "Hey, are you sure you are the heroine?" It's been almost ten minutes and I haven't seen you show your face? ”
Jing Tian pressed fast forward: "Now, do you see, isn't this me?" Pretty, right? ”
"Haha, you're so dirty!" Li Qing looked at Jing Tian on the screen wearing an old Hong Kong film-style costume skirt, and couldn't help laughing.
"You're the dirt!" Jing Tian grinded his teeth and pressed fast forward again, "Pay attention to this paragraph, it's super funny!" ”
"Funny? Isn't this a horror movie? Li Qing ate a grape and looked at the screen.
I saw a woman sleeping in a dark room. A snake swam and crawled in.
Li Qing's expression froze on his face for a moment, and he quickly moved his eyes away: "You are insane, didn't you say that the snake was fake?" ”
"It's fake, it's a computer special effect."
"Don't look at it, I'll go back." Li Qingqiang endured the itch that seemed to have a slippery and greasy worm crawling on his body and stood up.
"Hey, don't go." Jing Tian grabbed him, "The remote control is okay for you, right?" ”
"You skip this first!"
"Coward!" Jing Tian muttered and pressed fast forward.
"You're bold!" Li Qing also muttered.
The two of them sat together.
