After the performance, the actors of the art troupe all returned to the bus in the troupe, and the captain was taking a roll call one by one.

When Cui Mingliang was called, no one answered, and Cui Mingliang was the last to get into the car wearing a thick padded jacket.

If you are late, you will inevitably be told by the captain, but Cui Mingliang is not afraid.

The captain smoked a cigarette and looked at Cui Mingming's prickly head, and said unhappily: "Is there a little bit of organizational discipline, so many people are waiting for you, is there a bit of collectivist spirit." ”

Cui Mingliang looked at him and said, "You don't button your hat, why are you late for a while, I didn't delay the performance." ”

"I didn't delay the performance, how good do you think the performance was."

Cui Mingliang said unconvinced: "I will act what you do." ”

"What are you playing, the train calls you, that's the train calling?"

"I've never been on a train, so I know what the train is called." Cui Mingliang said and got into the car and sat in the seat, not caring about the captain's accusation at all.

The captain impatiently threw away the cigarette butt and said, "You haven't been on a train, you haven't eaten pork, and you haven't seen a pig run." ”

Cui Mingliang put his hand into his sleeve and said unconvinced: "I've seen a pig hum." ”

Everyone in the car burst into laughter, and the captain said a few more words and let the car start, and the lights in the car went out.

The car moved slowly forward, but the young actors in the car were all joicing and learning the train whistle from the movie, and the song drifted through the darkness into the distance.

More than ten minutes later, Chen Li'an stood on the side of the road and stomped his feet, this winter is really cold enough, and his breath turned into fog.

Jia Zhangke looked at Chen Li'an, who was smoking, and said, "I'll go back and soak my feet later, it's not warmer than the capital." ”

Chen Li'an threw away the cigarette butt tremblingly, looked at Jia Zhangke and said: "You have too many metaphors in this movie, I won't say the lines of the characteristics of the times, just now I turned off the lights and sang, who drove in the middle of the night to turn off the car lights, I'm afraid that people won't be able to hit it." ”

Jia Zhangke was speechless, and Zhiwu said for a long time: "I can't say it too directly." ”

Chen Li'an patted him on the shoulder and said, "Speaking of playing, you are the director, and the film needs artistic processing." ”

After Chen Li'an finished speaking, he got into the car tremblingly, put his hand in his sleeve and didn't take it out, until he returned to the hotel in the county seat and felt warm.

The conditions of the small hotel are indeed worse, and Chen Li'an is soaking his feet while making phone calls.

Listening to the girl on the other end of the phone calling Dad, my heart suddenly warmed up, we have three small padded jackets, and we are not afraid of the cold at all.

Early the next morning, Chen Li'an went to film normally again, regardless of how many lines in the play were left over from the times, Chen Li'an still spoke energetically.

Isn't it like this in seventy-nine years, those people say that they are used to it, and most people actually don't understand what the words they say mean, anyway, they always like to say those words.

Authority, Cui Mingliang always likes to say it when he teaches Cui Mingliang, and Cui Mingliang also learns to say it back.

In the warm room, Cui Mingliang was wearing cotton pants and drinking tea urging his mother to make pants faster, and after being said a few words by his mother, he went to listen to the chat between his father and younger brother.

After a while, my mother came out with two pairs of pants, Cui Mingliang and my younger brother each had one, which was the most fashionable bell bottoms.

The younger brother took the pants and put them on easily, but Cui Mingming's pants were small and very difficult to put on.

In the end, I finally put it on, and it was also tight.

The snow in Fenyang is very large, and the snow on the ground is still very thick, Cui Mingliang stood in the snow in the courtyard and was told a few words by his father, and then went to the county movie theater.

The street of the cinema was also dilapidated, there were songs on the radio, and there were faint slogans on the walls of the square.

Cui Mingliang and his good friend Zhang Jun came together, and Yin Ruijuan and Zhong Ping were waiting.

Zhong Ping was the object of Zhang Jun, and he was the first in their group to wear bell bottoms, Zhong Ping looked at Cui Mingming's ill-fitting pants and asked curiously.

Zhang Jun took the initiative to relieve the siege and said that it was the same as his bell bottoms, and Cui Mingliang also smiled and said that he was learning from the advanced.

The young man laughed a few words, and Yin Ruijuan said that he didn't buy the movie ticket, and asked Cui Mingliang to buy the ticket.

Cui Mingliang liked Yin Ruijuan and went with a smile.

Foreign movie wanderers in the cinema, in the dark cinema, the screen is very bright.

Chen Li'an tugged at his bell bottoms, looked at Jia Zhangke while smoking a cigarette and asked, "Did you really watch this film when you were a child?" Or is it just looking for it? ”

"Yes, this is still the film I found at the Cultural Affairs Bureau." Jia Zhangke said.

In the dark, Chen Li'an smoked a cigarette and looked at the big screen, and felt Jia Zhangke's seriousness about this movie, from the scene to the props and even every line was carefully researched.

The later scene is that they were arrested without buying a ticket, Cui Mingliang and Yin Ruijuan were not arrested, the two of them walked in the snow and came to the cave to talk about each other's thoughts.

Yin Ruijuan was arranged by her father on a blind date, and the object was a college student or a dentist.

Cui Mingliang paced back and forth while snorting, sniffing and repeating: "Good college student, good dentist." ”

The art troupe seems to be very good, but Yin Ruijuan's police father looks down on it and thinks Cui Mingliang is a street gangster.

This relationship seems to have been suddenly drawn with a comma.

After the filming of this scene, the crew stopped, and Jia Zhangke had to wait for the snow to melt before filming the rest of the film, according to his plan, it was filmed until April.

Chen Li'an is also quite helpless, and the director can only wait.

When the crew was resting, Chen Li'an was not idle, riding a two-eight-bar bicycle, and wandering around Fenyang.

After strolling, I went back to the hotel and chatted with Jia Zhangke and them about the movie and drank some wine by the way, there are a lot of snacks in Fenyang, and Chen Li'an has tasted them all during this time.

It's not like I'm here to film at all, it's like I'm here to experience life, and the whole person can't relax.

Many people in the crew were quite curious about Chen Li'an's behavior, so Zhao Tao ran over and asked him why he was wandering around.

Chen Li'an was sitting on the bicycle at the time, watching Zhao Tao only say a word, and after speaking, he rode to eat the sesame sauce cold skin on the next street.

"It's the 21st century soon, and there are still a lot of Cui Mingliang here, all waiting for the train to the outside world, and their platform doesn't know when it will be there."

Zhao Tao looked at Chen Li'an's back, and what he said to him was quite empathetic, playing a young man twenty years ago, but aren't these people still there twenty years later.

Times are moving fast, but they are slow, so slow that some people have passed half of their lives and have not yet waited for their train.

It is not easy for those who can get out, and they are not willing to come back, and it is out of place to come back.

After the snow melted, the crew filmed normally again.

The weather is warm, and many things have changed, Zhang Jun went to Shencheng to see his aunt, and he came back again, and brought back a lot of fashionable gadgets.

Toad mirrors and a large radio.

A group of young people listen to songs in a dilapidated house and learn to dance with people from the big city.

Cui Mingliang couldn't dance, his eyes were closed and he twisted his body awkwardly, as if he was punching, and his two hands were swinging back and forth.

No one will say that his dancing is not good-looking, how unsightly everyone dances, no one knows how to dance this dance.

It's like Cui Mingliang said that he hasn't taken a train and can't call a train.

Chen Li'an can always think of himself when filming this scene, he has also chased fashion, has long hair and sang rock, but he doesn't know what these fashionable things are.

What rock 'n' roll, Chen Li'an didn't know at that time, and Cui Mingliang didn't know what break dancing was.

Whatever he is!

It's just pursuing the outside world, just like a frog standing at the bottom of a well and seeing someone dancing at the mouth of the well, and jumping a few times, it doesn't matter what it dances.

It's just that when I was jumping, I felt that I was in tune with the times and closer to the outside world.

The first half of the whole movie is based on this tone, and the love-hate entanglement and trivial things of the four young people reveal the sadness under the impact of the times.

The establishment of the art troupe was canceled and was privately contracted.

Yin Ruijuan gave up her dream, entered the tax bureau, and rode through the streets and alleys in uniform every day.

Zhang Jun made Zhong Ping's belly bigger, he had seen the flower world outside, he felt that he didn't belong here, he didn't want to get married, and took Zhong Ping to shed the child.

The art troupe has no subsidy and wants to go out to make money, Cui Mingliang is very excited and has not left the art troupe, he wants to continue to be a literary and art worker, to pursue his dreams, and to go to the outside world to have a look.

But the first stop of the art troupe was the countryside, and the second stop was the coal mine, and Cui Mingliang was very disappointed when he didn't go to the big city.

But when he was on the road, Cui Mingliang saw the railway, he jumped off the car excitedly and ran towards the railway, and the young people in the regiment also ran over.

It's just that they still didn't catch up with the passing train, and only saw the back of the train, a black train pulling the coal mine to the big city outside.

Cui Mingliang stood beside the railway and watched the back of the train leaving, and just stood and watched it drive away.

After filming these scenes, Chen Li'an was silent for a long time, and he understood Jia Zhangke's feelings for his hometown.

The torrent of the development of the times is like this train passing by the young people here, and the only thing that can leave is the coal mine that the development of the times needs.

Chen Li'an stood on the hillside and smoked for a long time, he caught up with the dividends of the times, but many people did not catch up.

There is also a lot of invisible sadness behind the dividends, no matter what the sixth generation of directors are scolded for, but it is they who let more people see these traumas.

No matter what Chen Li'an thinks in his heart, the drama still has to be filmed.

The art troupe, a product that was eliminated by the times, soon lost its market, and no one invited them to perform, even if they performed on the roadside, no one stopped to take a second look.

After Cui Mingliang returned to Fenyang, he seemed to recognize the reality and no longer looked forward to the platform that belonged to him.

When he and Yin Ruijuan met, they both knew how they should go, they got married and had children.

The last scene of the movie is in Cui Mingming's house, he is lying on a chair and falling asleep, Yin Ruijuan is holding the child and standing in front of the kettle to tease the child.

The boiling kettle whined, like the whistle of a train, but no one was thrilled and excited about it.

Cui Mingliang lay on the chair and fell asleep tiredly, and Yin Ruijuan only had children in her eyes.

Their platform didn't show up until the end, and the train that would have allowed them to get on didn't show up at the end.

After filming all the scenes, Chen Li'an and Jia Zhangke drank all night.

In the end, under the paralysis of alcohol, he forgot all this and left Fenyang in a million-dollar run.

Chen Li'an has his own platform, his own train, and there are many people on the train, and he will not stop in one place.

Even if the scenery outside the car window is shocking, the final destination will be dazzling.

Twelve years from now, the young people of Fenyang will get on the train and listen to the horn of the train to drive towards their future.
