Chapter 252: Questioning
It wasn't until almost a third of the way the movie was shown that the audience finally understood that Xiao Ke played by Fan Xiaopang was a brain tumor patient, and He Wei played by Li Tang was her brother-in-law, because her brother-in-law usually cared for her, which made Xiao cute and brother-in-law.
Of course, the brother-in-law will definitely not do anything unethical and take an evasive attitude towards the sister-in-law's show of love.
The little girl who was hit found out to be the same as Xiao Ke, with a tumor in her brain, and there is no way to cure this disease, which can only be maintained by medicine. The little girl comes from a poor family and cannot afford medical bills. Out of sympathy, He Wei changed his insurance policy to the name of the little girl, hoping to help the little girl.
Looking at it this way, He Wei is completely a good person.
But when Xiao Ke met Lin Mo played by Xu Guangtou and found a mirror frame in Lin Mo's house, everything changed.
It turned out that when Xiao Ke was very young, his parents were killed, and at the same time, he lost a white frame and a watch. And Lin Mo told her that this frame was given by a classmate named He Wei of his, and at the same time gave him a watch, but the watch was no longer found.
So Xiao Ke suspected that his brother-in-law He Wei was the murderer of his parents. In order to confirm her suspicions, she deliberately asked Lin Mo to appear in front of He Wei, and Lin Wei defaulted to He Wei, but He Wei denied that Lin Mo was the wrong person.
Xiao Ke had no evidence, and at the same time she went to see the doctor, but the doctor told her that the medicine was taken away by her brother-in-law He Wei, so she thought that He Wei took the medicine and didn't give it to her, because he wanted her to die early.
Because his time was running out, Xiao Ke was in a hurry, and took advantage of the fact that his sister Xiao Feng played by Jiang Qinqin was on a business trip and pretended that the bookshelf was broken again, and knocked out and kidnapped his brother-in-law He Wei. So there was the opening scene, Xiao Ke, who was wearing a blue retro tracksuit, looked down at his brother-in-law He Wei who fell to the ground, and then she dragged He Wei to the living room and tied him to a chair.
After He Wei woke up, Xiao Ke repeatedly asked, did he kill his parents?
But no matter how Xiao Ke interrogated He Wei, He Wei always said that she was mistaken, asked her not to forget that they were a family, and asked her not to destroy the happiness in front of her.
Although He Wei didn't let go, Xiao Ke decided to make a decision. She used a dagger to kill He Wei, but He Wei struggled for a day, and the rope in his hand was untied. When Xiao Ke was about to attack, he also came to fight for the dagger. During the scramble, Xiao Ke fell to the ground, and he used the dagger he grabbed to cut off the rope tied to his feet. Maybe thinking about his pregnant wife, He Wei didn't want to kill Xiao Ke, and he didn't care about her life or death, so he turned around and wanted to leave.
But Xiao Ke picked up the hammer on the ground and injured He Wei again, He Wei finally couldn't bear the inner entanglement, and Xiao Ke hurt him externally. So, the real He Wei appeared, he tore off the hypocritical disguise, and the strong girl Xiao Ke, and at the same time broke the peace he had been maintaining.
In fact, He Wei's heart has always been tormented. But he thinks that as long as things don't come to light, this is a balanced ending, and although he is tormented inside, he does a lot of things he wants to make up for.
It's just that all of this was finally broken under Xiao Ke's questioning. He confronts Xiao Ke and admits that he killed her parents. And the motive for the murder was not to see Xiao Ke's parents living in a big house with a yard, with a watch, and to take revenge for living better than him, including marrying Xiao Ke's sister Xiao Feng as his wife, and also to retaliate for her being high up and ignoring people when she was a child.
But after being with Xiao Feng, He Wei was touched by Xiao Feng's kindness. His current gentleness and helpfulness were also influenced by his wife, and he admits that Xiao Ke's sister had changed him.
Xiao Ke finally found the real He Wei and was no longer entangled, so she could face death calmly.
And at the same moment, He Wei felt relieved. Over the years, he often suffered from insomnia and was afraid that the murder would be exposed. He helped the sick little girl in the hope of doing good deeds to atone for her sins.
When He Wei instructed the little girl's father to drive home with insurance, Mr. Lin, who had long wanted to live, drove the car and crashed into it......
This is the end of the movie.
When the subtitles began to scroll on the big screen, for about ten seconds, there was no movement at all. The main creators, including Li Tang, are inevitably apprehensive. It wasn't until someone started clapping, from sparse to applauded at the end, that everyone's mood was slightly settled.
The lights turned on, and the host Cheng Lei came to the stage, first said a clichΓ© enthusiastically, and finally said loudly: "Let us welcome the creator of the movie "The Third Man" to the stage with the warmest applause!" β
Several mermaids walked onto the stage and made concessions to each other, allowing director Cheng Er to stand in the middle of the C position, Jiang Qinqin and Fan Xiaopang were on the left and right, and Li Tang and Xu Guangtou stood on both sides.
At first glance, Xu Guangtou and Fan Xiaopang are standing together, while Li Tang and Jiang Qinqin are standing side by side, which is quite in line with the relationship between their respective characters in the movie.
The first choice is the audience interaction session, and the first question to ask is a pre-arranged support.
, a not-so-well-known actor in the Shanghai Film Troupe, is still good in terms of acting skills, but he first asked director Cheng Er: "I noticed that the car He Wei drove often couldn't open the door, but when the truth was revealed, the door suddenly opened." I would like to ask the director, is there any meaning here? β
As long as he talks about movies, Cheng Er will become very fluent in speaking, he picked up the microphone and said: "In the movie, the car door that can't be opened is used to imply He Wei's heart knot, and when He Wei tells all the truth, the car door opens naturally." But until the truth is told, he can't open the door. β
After the beginning, the audience's emotions were also mobilized, and the film did have too many questions that needed to be answered urgently.
As the answer to this buddy's question ended, an audience member immediately raised their hands to ask questions, Cheng Lei picked a girl with glasses, and the staff on the scene handed the microphone over.
The glasses girl looked very excited and said, "Teacher Li Tang, I am your fan." I especially like your role as Ling Hu Chong, as well as Xiao Jian in "Huanzhu Gege". You used to be very chic in my mind, eh...... There are also particularly handsome ones, but after watching this movie today, I found that your impression in your mind is completely subverted. I know that it is precisely because of this that it just shows that the character you created He Wei is successful. I just wanted to ask why you took on such a role? β
Movie fans are emotional, they often regard the role played by the actor as the actor himself, and are naturally reluctant to accept the actor playing some negative or unlikable role.
Regarding the question of this glasses girl with a fan mentality, Li Tang replied with a smile: "Actually, whether it is Ling Hu Chong or Xiao Jian, it is actually not me. As for why I took on such a role, because I am an actor, the meaning of an actor's existence is to have the courage to challenge different types of characters. When Director Cheng Er found me at that time, I particularly liked the role of He Wei, and it turned out that he was indeed very enjoyable, and I also won honors for it. β
The audience asked a variety of questions, such as someone asked He Wei if he was really the murderer? Did he make up such a story to comfort Xiao Ke? And the real murderer is actually Lin Mo, and he He Wei is actually a murderer in the end.
There are also enthusiastic female viewers who asked Li Tang, although He Wei avoided Xiao Ke's show of love, did he actually love Xiao Ke in his heart? The reason is that He Wei was very painful when he learned that Xiao Ke would not live long, and he did that kind of thing to Xiao Ke in the end.
I have to say that the audience's brain circuit is very strange, is it also a manifestation of love?
For example, a reporter wearing "Xinmin Evening News" asked Cheng Er: "The chronological order of the story and narrative of this film is inverted and intertwined, completely disrupting the timeline of the development of events, reversing, assembling, collage, and then narrating." Including a lot of footage that was shot twice. I would like to ask if this is your unique way of creating, or is it just a trick to show that the editing is awesome? β
This question is very acute and directly questions Cheng Er's creative style, of course, this is because Cheng Er is a newcomer in the field of directing, and this kind of questioning is inevitable.
Cheng Er was obviously mentally prepared for this kind of questioning, but he said calmly: "The first graduation short film I made was a non-linear narrative, in fact, I don't reject linear narrative, but every time I write a script and write the first line, it is in the middle of the story."
Actually, it's hard to analyze why I like this structure, first of all, it's an instinct, but if I have to analyze it, then there is a beauty to this kind of narrative for me. Because each of our time is linear, we can only live from beginning to end in linear time. But memories are non-linear, whether it is memories or dreams, they are actually jumping around. I think this is an escape and a kind of freedom for the linear life time that we can't escape.
Also, I personally think the benefit of non-linearity is that the audience is not just watching a story, and on that basis, they have the opportunity to think about the story. When the timeline is disrupted, it is actually a direct comparison of the original choice and the later result to the audience, which will bring a kind of thinking and highlight a sense of fate.
When cause and effect get closer, they become a juxtaposition, and the sense of fatalism becomes clearer, because the non-linear narrative is a refined or even structured material, rather than the material itself. β
I have to say that Cheng Er's words are very profound, why don't you feel it clear when you hear it. Li Tang didn't know if the reporter who asked the question understood, at least Jiang Qinqin beside him didn't understand, and secretly poked and asked, "Hey, what does Director Cheng mean by this?" β
Well, although Jiang Damei graduated from Nortel with a bachelor's degree in art and a bachelor's degree, her real cultural foundation is actually very ordinary.
Li Tang Dynasty smiled and said in a low voice: "To sum it up, it's actually just two words. β
"Which two words?"
"Awesome!"
The first more, there is
