Throughout the history of Chinese film, it is not uncommon for the crew of "Peacock" to experience more bad things than the crew of "Peacock", but like this film, after more than half of the filming, the investor ran away, the director picked on the child, the crew has been disbanded, and it is really rare to save up again.

The behind-the-scenes team that has been built up from scratch, and the cast that is pulled by favors, is such a grass stage team that anyone who looks at it feels unreliable, no matter what the final result is, this disaster-ridden movie has finally restarted.

"It's the first time I've seen you look so embarrassed!"

In the old factory area of Anyang No. 1 Fertilizer Factory, on the set of "Peacock", the first scene after the restart is about to begin.

Zhang Jingchu didn't expect that she would really be a director one day, for the sake of today's start-up, she didn't sleep all night yesterday, looking at the storyboard script over and over again, and going through the scheduling of the camera position over and over again in her mind.

It wasn't until the sky was bright that he squinted shallowly for a while, and then took He Jing to the set.

This old fertilizer factory was originally ready to be demolished, but it was temporarily retained because of the arrival of the "Peacock" crew.

After the crew was disbanded, the city government planned to dismantle it again, a few days ago, when Zhang Chu and Zhang Jingchu were busy looking for someone to help, no one cared about it, and when they remembered it, the engineering vehicles drove in.

Half an hour later, the entire factory will be in ruins, and when the time comes, I don't know when this drama will be filmed again.

The whole country is playing with the construction of life, like this old factory with the characteristics of the seventies and eighties, looking at the whole country, I am afraid that there are not a few left.

To put it mildly, I finally persuaded the relevant departments in the city to agree to rent this old factory area to the crew, but it was only half a year.

In the words of the person in charge, the existence of such a broken factory has seriously affected the development of Anyang City, as well as the transformation and construction of the city's appearance.

But they completely forgot how many people's work problems were solved by this factory back then, and how many families were able to live in peace.

But the development of society is like this, the old does not go, and the new does not come.

The Ming Dynasty, which Zhang Chu is more familiar with, has also been buried in the dust of history and is long gone!

Nowadays, in addition to some scattered ancient buildings, if you want to recall the shadow of the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that the only way is to dig graves.

Sin, sin!

Zhang Chu also came over early, and when he arrived on the set, he was pulled off to put on makeup and change clothes.

That's right, he is also Zhang Jingchu's connection, girlfriend's business, just pay money, you have to make another contribution.

So, Zhang Jingchu arranged a role for Zhang Chu in the play, that is, the first love of her sister Gao Weihong in the story, the once high-spirited paratrooper.

But at this moment, his outfit is not close to the military at all.

The old tunic with a pleated neckline and a pair of mismatched green army pants underneath does look a little embarrassed.

"That's because you didn't know me earlier, I was much more embarrassed before than I am now!"

Zhang Chu said that when he first came here, he stayed in a rented house in the basement every day, and only survived the first few days with Huang Bo's help.

Zhang Chu has never been shy about the past, unlike some celebrities, after becoming famous, he directly chose to forget his previous experience.

"How's the preparation going?"

"It's okay! The heads of various departments are veterans, so I don't have to think too much about it. ”

Although Zhang Jingchu was smiling, there was obviously no confidence in her eyes.

There's no way, although she studied directing, she never thought of being a director, and now she was suddenly driven to the shelves, and it is reasonable to panic.

"The assistant director hasn't figured out who to look for yet?"

Zhang Chu said that the assistant director refers to the executive director, Zhang Jingchu is the heroine after all, and she usually participates in the performance, and the role of the executive director is to take her place and control the overall situation when she is acting.

Originally, this position should be the most important, but the staff of all departments of the crew are complete, but this assistant director, Zhang Jingchu can't make up her mind for a long time.

"I'll think about it again, if I can handle it myself, I won't invite anyone first."

Hearing Zhang Jingchu say this, Zhang Chu didn't say anything more.

"Don't get too tired!"

"Don't worry!"

Zhang Jingchu pursed her lips and smiled.

"I'm going to get ready! You ......"

Zhang Chu smiled: "What's wrong?" Don't worry about me! ”

"Who is not at ease, the big actor!"

After Zhang Jingchu finished speaking, she turned around and left.

"Brother! Over there......"

Xiaoma waited for Zhang Jingchu to leave before leaning over, holding his mobile phone in his hand, apparently just finished answering the call.

"I've said when it's over, next time I call, tell them directly, I have something on my side, let them wait!"

Zhang Chu said so, what else could the pony say.

Alas......

The little girl shook her head and left, she was also wearing the style of the 80s, and when the camera was turned on, she would play the role of a pedestrian on the street.

After Zhang Jingchu said hello to various departments, she walked straight to the back of the monitor, took a deep breath, asked people to turn on the monitor, and took the lens of each camera to check it over.

After making sure that there was no problem, I got up and walked to the position where I appeared.

"Zhang Jingchu, come on!"

silently read a sentence in his heart, and then quickly adjusted his state and became Gao Weihong in the story.

Jin Dong stood a little back from her side.

"Okay, all departments prepare, let's try one first."

This sentence obviously feels lacking in confidence, but the matter has come to this point, so I can only bite the bullet.

"Camera crew OK!"

"The recording crew is fine!"

"The actors are in place!"

"The ensemble is ready!"

Zhang Jingchu listened to the feedback from various departments and nodded to the field notes.

"Peacock Scene X, Act X, First Time, 3, 2, 1!"

Smack!

The people in the camera immediately moved, Zhang Jingchu carried the basket and walked forward with Jin Dong one after another, whispering something and laughing from time to time.

Zhang Jingchu's outfit at the moment, like most middle-aged women of that era, was coiled with her hair and plain clothes, and her face also looked old.

After reading the whole story, Zhang Chu saw the heroine with such makeup again, and suddenly felt that he finally understood a little bit about this story.

The heroine at this moment has been smoothed out by life, but she was obviously so different.

There are many characters in the whole story, but these well-behaved people are like a background board, setting off all the time, this somewhat different heroine Gao Weihong.

A girl like a peacock, a peacock who is crazy about opening the screen.

In an era like winter, a peacock desperately wants to open the screen, which seems to mean that he is very self-motivated, but Gao Weihong doesn't know how to do it or what to do in order to satisfy his inner desire for opening the screen.

The scene at the beginning of the story playing the accordion, and the scene of playing the electronic piano in the nursery, makes people feel that this is a girl who loves music.

Then, when drying clothes on the roof, I happened to catch a glimpse of the paratroopers landing on the field in the distance, and excitedly rode a bicycle to chase closer, and watched the paratroopers land and collect the umbrellas one by one.

All this seems to make people feel that Gao Weihong's dream is to be a paratrooper.

When her desire to join the army failed, Gao Weihong sewed a sky blue parachute by herself, tied it to the back seat of her bicycle, and rode on the street cheering, which made people even more convinced that this was her life's pursuit.

In that era, finding a stable job and marrying a responsible husband was the standard ideal of a girl, but Gao Weihong was a huge contrast, especially in a family like theirs, and behaved like a madman.

The fantasy world in her mind is extremely mismatched with her identity, so everything she does is like a madman who has gone out of her way.

The things that others care about are not taken to heart here by Gao Weihong, she always wants to do something, but she doesn't know what to do, but she just doesn't want to be as mediocre as everyone else.

Compared with her, the rest of the family is obviously much more peaceful, and the younger brother also made the move of picking up the train and running away from home after being hit, but the moment he made the decision, after getting on the train, he was immediately beaten back to the original state, so in the end he still did not grow.

And her brother never dared to think about it, for him, ordinary life was already a luxury, where would he dare to think more.

What is more down-to-earth than their three sisters and brothers is that their parents, who have been worrying about their three children all their lives, have been industrious and kind all their lives, and the three children have finally settled down, and the two old men have also come to the end of their lives, there are no surprises on the road of life, and there are bumps all the way.

The three children seem to be the same, and after many years, they will have the same end, the same result.

They all missed the beauty of the peacock opening, and the trajectory of life seemed hasty and sloppy, not clear enough, whether it was the sister who was about to move, or the younger brother who was not clear enough in his thoughts and opinions, or the eldest brother who was stupid all his life and never wanted to change anything, in the end, nothing changed, and when the story ended, it felt like ......

It's like that's what life is.

The scene being filmed is the end of the whole story, Gao Weihong reunites with her former first love paratrooper on the street, this dreaming girl finally woke up from her madness, and the once high-spirited paratrooper finally became a middle-aged man who nibbled on the street to eat buns.

made her sister's fantasy of the image of the paratrooper completely disillusioned, so, after she turned to leave, she squatted on the ground and cried, finally disarmed and surrendered, gave up the last resistance, found another husband, and married for the second time, this time the dowry was the restless heart that jumped a whole youth.

The reason why it started from this scene is also because this scene has not been filmed before, Zhang Jingchu does not want to imitate Chang Wei's shooting techniques, if she shoots the scenes she has acted in before as soon as she comes up, it will be difficult for her to leave her mark in this work.

The camera turned, Gao Weihong walked to the paratrooper's side with his hands behind his back, and the paratrooper noticed Gao Weihong, but the trials and tribulations of life had made him a little sluggish.

The glance that secretly felt that the other party was just standing there, and the second time he turned his head, he felt the other party's gaze, but he immediately turned his head away, and looked at the other party for the third time, because ......

"Do you still like me?"

In the camera, Zhang Chu's eyes were stunned for a moment, and then he began to evade again, giving people the feeling that he obviously recognized the other party, but he was trying his best to deny it.

"You...... What's your last name? ”

Zhang Chu was cramped and uneasy, but he was pretending to be calm, obviously he had two hands, but he didn't know where to put a bun.

Zhang Jingchu looked at Zhang Chu, as if she wanted to overlap his current appearance with the appearance in her memory, but no matter how hard she tried to remember, she couldn't do it.

So, the disappointment in his eyes gradually magnified, and he tried his best to maintain the smile on his face, slowly retreated, and raised his hand to wave at Zhang Chu.

"Goodbye!"

This goodbye seems to be a complete separation from the former self.

Gao Weihong also stopped the fantasies that ran through her youth after this goodbye, returned to reality, and willingly succumbed to fate.

Zhang Chu just nodded and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just squeezed out a smile.

At this time, the paratrooper's wife came out of the store with her child in her arms, and there were very few scenes in this role, Zhang Jingchu found Qin Hailu.

Zhang Chu still has some impressions of Qin Hailu, Zhang Ziyi had told him something about Qin Hailu before, she applied for the Chinese drama exam back then, but she had no idea of being an actor at all.

I just think that studying in an art school can cultivate temperament, and after graduation, I can successfully find a white-collar job.

But in the end, her white-collar dream did not come true, and she was directly admitted to the Experimental Repertory Theatre after graduation, and with a "Durian Piao" that year, she won two awards for Best Newcomer and Best Actress at the Golden Horse Awards, and was nominated for Best Actress at the Venice Film Festival.

In terms of fame, maybe Qin Hailu is not much, but when it comes to achievements, I'm afraid Zhang Ziyi has to stand aside.

"Let's go!"

Qin Hailu's face was full of impatience, and he stuffed all the things he bought into Zhang Chu's arms.

In the story, Qin Hailu plays the role of not only the wife of the paratrooper, but also the sister of Gao Weihong's classmate.

If Shi Wei is specific, there is no clear explanation in the story, but it can be inferred from the fact that she finally married a paratrooper.

Zhang Chu lowered his head and put the things away, took his wife and children away, and when he passed by Zhang Jingchu, he glanced at it without a trace, and then immediately looked away.

Zhang Jingchu didn't look at Zhang Chu anymore, but retreated to Jin Dong's side, still maintaining a smiling face.

He said...... He still likes me! ”

Although this sentence was said with a smile, he didn't feel the slightest emotion, like a routine.

Jin Dong turned his head to look in the direction where Zhang Chu left: "Everyone has children!" Still like you, dream about you! ”

Zhang Jingchu did not refute, but squatted in front of the vegetable stall with Jin Dong, picking tomatoes.

Suddenly, Zhang Jingchu turned her head, her smiling face could no longer hold back, and she cried silently.

“CUT！”

Zhang Jingchu shouted to stop, and then trotted to the side of the monitor, and the camera had already been picked up.

Every angle, every picture, look at it extra carefully.
