34 Fallen Child Star (End)
"A Letter to Home" tells the story of a farewell letter written by a war doctor named Xu Qing to his mother in 1942.
After reading the synopsis of the script, Xu Weiheng immediately found an agent and said to the agent: "I want to make this movie." ā
Not "want", but "want".
Hearing the firmness in his words, the agent took the script of "A Letter to Home".
Before submitting these scripts to Xu Weiheng, he had already seen and done a round of screening, so he naturally had an impression of this movie.
"The director of this film is a newcomer, and the investment has not yet been found."
"The script was written by the director himself?" Xu Weiheng just caught a glimpse of the name of the screenwriter's column.
"Yes."
Xu Weiheng pursed his lips and thought for a moment, and decided to take a gamble: "Help me contact the director first, I want to talk to him in person." ā
He has acted in many dramas and read many scripts, but there has never been a script that can move him more than "A Letter from Home".
Xu Weiheng has a hunch that if this movie can be made well, even if it can't win a high box office, it will definitely have a high reputation, and it will even become his representative work.
So it's worth taking the time to get to know each other.
Under the contact of the agent, Xu Weiheng and director Ning Hui met.
From Ning Hui, Xu Weiheng learned that Ning Hui was the apprentice of the director of "Flourishing". When Ning Hui decided to make the movie "A Letter to Home", the director of "In the Prime" recommended him to Ning Hui.
The two talked openly and honestly for three hours, and the last trace of hesitation in Xu Weiheng's heart dissipated, and he stretched out his hand towards Ning Hui: "Happy cooperation." ā
Ning Hui was pleasantly surprised: "Happy cooperation. ā
"I heard that the investment in this film has not been pulled yet?"
Ning Hui nodded: "Yes, but if you decide to participate, I can figure out a way to invest the rest." ā
The investment in "A Letter to Home" is at most 30 million, Xu Weiheng's current fame is not much worse than Wen Qiu, plus this is the first movie he starred in, relying on this name, it is not difficult to attract another 10 million investment.
"If you don't mind, I'm willing to invest 10 million, and then convert my salary into investment. What does Director Ning think? ā
Ning Hui Daxi did not have any opinions.
It doesn't make a difference who wants to invest.
But if Xu Weiheng invests, in order not to lose money in the movie, he will definitely act more devotedly.
The two sides agreed on the same thing, and the crew was successfully built.
The selection process of the actors was quite smooth, but there was one actor who had not been decided.
After struggling for a moment, Ning Hui sent a message to Xu Weiheng and came to Xu Weiheng's house with two bags of fruit.
It was Yao Rong who opened the door for Ning Hui: "It's Ning Dao, please come in." ā
Ning Hui smiled and handed the fruit in his hand to Yao Rong: "I took the liberty to visit, I disturbed it." ā
"It's okay, it's all about business."
Xu Weiheng was reciting lines in the study, and when he heard the movement, he came out, and asked Ning Hui to sit down on the sofa: "Director, why are you here?" ā
In the WeChat chat, Ning Hui only said that something happened to the door, but he didn't say what it was.
Ning coughed back and explained his intention directly: "That's the case, in the movie, Xu Qing's mother played by you will have three or four minutes of appearance, I thought...... If Ms. Yao is free, I wonder if Ms. Yao is happy to make a cameo? ā
To be honest, although Yao Rong is not a star, after the addition of the third season of "Dear Family", as well as the names of the two phenomenal movie screenwriters of "Shen Ai" and "Starry Sky", her Weibo followers are more than some second- and third-tier stars.
Moreover, Yao Rong and Xu Weiheng are originally mother and son, and the audience will have a stronger sense of substitution when watching the movie.
"Do I make a cameo?" Yao Rong pointed at himself.
"Yes. The role of that character is relatively simple, but in the end it was sacrificed, I don't know if you are willing to ......"
"Absolutely." Yao Rong nodded.
She was intrigued.
After solving this matter, Ning Hui didn't leave immediately, and chatted with Xu Weiheng about the crew: "The crew has almost prepared, how are you preparing here?" ā
Xu Weiheng: "I have no problem. ā
If it is a movie with other themes, maybe he still needs a certain amount of time to speculate on the role.
But ...... "A Letter to Home" is a movie about the relationship between mother and son.
He couldn't accept that he couldn't act in this movie.
Ning Hui: "Then we will join the group in a week." I will inform Ms. Yao when she will join the group. ā
A week later, Xu Weiheng joined the group to shoot "A Letter to Home".
He is the absolute protagonist of this movie, and with his excellent performance and the others not holding back, the filming of "A Letter from Home" went very smoothly, and it only took two months for most of the plot of "A Letter from Home" to be filmed.
Because the filming progress of the movie is gratifying, after discussion, Ning Hui decided to release the movie during the Spring Festival.
However, the competition for this Spring Festival file is also extremely strong, and there are three family comedy movies alone.
"A Letter from Home" is sandwiched in the middle, and neither the cast nor the subject matter have an advantage.
However, Ning Hui was very calm.
The cast and subject matter are all virtual, and the final success or failure of a movie depends on the quality.
And when it comes to quality, no one knows better than him what kind of wonderful performance Xu Weiheng has contributed in the movie.
There is an unwritten custom in the Spring Festival stalls, that is, they are generally not screened in advance.
Screening in advance, firstly, it will let the opponent know the quality of the movie, and secondly, if the quality is not good, the word-of-mouth may overturn.
Even those who were as strong as "Shen Ai" back then have not been screened.
But after a meeting and discussion, "A Letter to Home" decided to be screened, so that a small number of viewers could enter the cinema in advance to watch the movie.
Xu Weiheng posted several Weibo posts in a row to promote the movie.
Wen Qiu, Shi Qingqing and other friends in the circle have forwarded it.
Even the single scientific name that is not often used on Weibo has deliberately appeared on Weibo to help forward it.
And the directors who have worked with Xu Weiheng, including Director Chen, as long as there is no competition, they have also helped to publicize.
[Wow, a movie about the mother-son relationship during the Anti-Japanese War, the DNA is moving! ] ć
[Hahahahaha reminds me of the third season of "Dear Family" +1]
Many netizens expressed their expectations for this movie, but more netizens are not very optimistic about this movie.
"A Letter to Home" ushered in the screening in a singing voice.
Xu Weiheng specially bought two movie tickets and went to the cinema with Yao Rong.
In the screening hall, there were many people sitting scattered, Xu Weiheng and Yao Rong disguised themselves and sat in the best viewing seats.
It didn't take long for the movie to start -
Xu Weiheng played the role of the war doctor named Xu Qing in "A Letter to Home".
Unlike his brave mother, Xu Qing is a very cowardly person.
I was forced to study medicine by my mother, and I was forced by my mother to go to the front line to become a war doctor.
At the beginning of the movie, Xu Qing's complaints and resentment towards his mother were almost undisguised.
But after seeing a lot of life and death partings in the battlefield, Xu Qing slowly understood his mother.
Later, because he had studied Japanese, Xu Qing was recruited to enter a church hospital in Shanghai.
After staying in the hospital for about half a year, on this day, Xu Qing went home, pushed open the door and found two men sitting inside who had never met before.
Without waiting for Xu Qing to scream, the two men revealed their identities in advance: they were members of the underground party lurking in Shanghai, and they found Xu Qing in the hope that Xu Qing could help.
It turned out that an important member of the Shanghai underground party was arrested by Japanese spies three days ago, because
Suffering a serious gunshot wound, the important member was taken to the church hospital for treatment.
"We hope that Mr. Xu can help us check the situation so that we can make a rescue plan."
After a fierce ideological struggle, Xu Qingyi gritted his teeth and decided to participate in the rescue.
Before the operation, he wrote a letter home to his mother.
In the family letter, Xu Qing sincerely apologized to his mother, hoping that his mother would forgive him for the harm he caused to her when he was ignorant.
After writing a letter to his family, Xu Qing did not send it immediately, but asked the comrades of the underground party to take it.
If something happens to him during the operation, please send the letter to his mother along with his savings over the years.
After making all preparations, Xu Qing went to work at the church hospital.
Under the danger of being frightened, Xu Qing, as a doctor's assistant, entered the ward openly.
But when Xu Qing saw the face of that important member, it was like being struck by lightning - he would not mistake the person in front of him.
The woman in front of him who was dying on the hospital bed was his mother who he had complained about for ten years and had never seen since he went to college.
When Xu Qing was stunned in place, the middle-aged woman on the hospital bed seemed to sense something, slowly opened her eyes, and regained consciousness.
After seeing Xu Qing's face clearly, she seemed to smile while wearing an oxygen mask.
Just like this, Xu Qing couldn't help but redden.
"I ...... I ......" He subconsciously said in a trembling voice, but the woman on the hospital bed shook her head and smiled at him again.
At that time, Xu Qing didn't understand what this smile meant.
All he knew was that he had to get out of here as soon as possible and tell the two underground party members about the situation in the hospital, so that they could rescue them as soon as possible.
He didn't even bother to say a word to her, and hurriedly left the ward.
However, when Xu Qing infiltrated the hospital with two underground party members disguised as doctors and nurses, a large number of Japanese suddenly poured into the entrance of the hospital, and some people were shouting and angry in Japanese.
Xu Qing listened to those Japanese words and suddenly couldn't take a step.
The two members of the underground party didn't know why, and looked back at him.
"No need to rescue......"
Xu Qing slowly raised his head, his eyes moistening a little.
"She, sacrificed ......"
The paranoid, authoritarian, indifferent, and mother-in-law woman protected her comrades and her son for the last time.
At the cost of her life.
Later, Xu Qing received a suicide note from his mother.
With Xu Qing's suicide note, the movie screen suddenly changed.
In the last two minutes, the protagonist of the movie became Xu Qing's mother.
She admits that she is an incompetent mother.
But the incompetent mother sat all night as her child left the house in a gesture that almost fled.
She silently sent all the money sent to her by the organization to her friends in the hospital, asking them to transfer it to Xu Qing. But never pass it on in her name.
The kindness surrounding Xu Qing was her best to compensate. But he never knew.
The movie spends most of its time telling about a son's resentment and understanding of a mother, but it only takes two minutes to interpret a mother's silent love for a son.
"I've long been determined to die."
"When I saw you in my hospital bed, all my fear of death dissipated."
"Son, you've always been my pride."
As this sentence fell, the ending song of the movie sounded, and everyone in the theater came back to their senses in a daze.
Even Xu Weiheng and Yao Rong, who are actors, showed amazement after watching the finished film.
They quietly blended in the crowd and listened to the audience's evaluation of "A Letter from Home".
"Oh my God! The reversal of this movie is simply unexpected! ā
"Xu Weiheng acted so well, I laughed when he laughed, and I cried when he cried."
"After watching this movie, I instantly wanted to go home for the New Year."
As this group of audiences walked out of the cinema, there was gradually more discussion about "A Letter to Home" on the Internet.
[The perfect integration of family and family affection, I didn't expect "A Letter from Home" to be such a movie. ć
[I went to the cinema with the idea of supporting Heng cub, and after watching the movie, I just wanted to say: It's worth the trip. ć
[Those who sing about this movie, it's best to go to the cinema to see it, and look forward to your slapping face and kneeling after watching it. PS: I've been slapped in the face anyway. ć
Professional film critics also gave high praise: [A movie about family love, a movie with sincere feelings. ć
And Director Chen published a relevant Weibo as soon as possible: [I originally thought that Xu Weiheng had contributed a wonderful performance in "Shen Ai", but after reading "A Letter to Home", I was silent. If there are still traces of Xu Weiheng's performance in "Shen Ai", in "A Letter to Home", he is Xu Qing himself, and he completely brought this role to life. ć
In addition, many old professors who have taught Xu Weiheng in Huaju have also commented and recommended this movie.
With the increase in screening time, the word-of-mouth of "A Letter to Home" gradually went out of the circle, and the box office on the first day went from 1.6 billion to a strong counterattack, and by the third day, it had firmly occupied the first position in the single-day box office.
In an interview with reporters, director Ning Hui praised Xu Weiheng again and again.
"Finding Xu Weiheng to participate in this movie is the most correct decision I have ever made."
If Xu Qing hadn't starred in him, the score of "A Letter to Home" would definitely be reduced by one point on the current basis. It's really a great thing that the actors and the film make each other come together. ā
After being released for two months in a row, "A Letter to Home" was finally released with a box office of 4.7 billion.
In July, nominated for the Golden Elephant Awards, "A Letter to Home" successfully won four nominations for Best Cinematography, Best Screenplay, Best Director and Best Actor.
On the day of the Academy Awards ceremony, Xu Weiheng and the crew attended the red carpet.
From the moment he walked on the red carpet, all the media and live broadcast room cameras on the scene chased him.
Behind him, Yu Xia Chengqi, surrounded by a sea of people, his smile is gentle, his appearance is beautiful, and he is no longer the thin and thin teenager of the past.
Today, he is proud and confident, calm and calm, and everyone is in the limelight.
[From the age of sixteen to the current age of twenty-six, a full ten years have passed. ć
[I never thought that I would love an idol for ten years, but Heng Cub can make the impossible possible. When I liked him, I also became a better person. ć
[When I first started liking Hengcub, I just graduated from college, and now I have children. I hugged my child, pointed to the live broadcast room and told her: Look, child, this is the person my mother has liked for so many years, is he particularly good, is he shining. ć
Walking through the red carpet, Xu Weiheng entered the award ceremony.
He looked around and saw Yao Rong in a fancy dress on the seat in the middle. She didn't walk the red carpet with them just now, but entered the venue in a low-key manner.
Waving his hand at Yao Rong and making sure she saw him, Xu Weiheng walked to the seat specially arranged for him and took a seat.
didn't wait long, and other actors also entered and sat down one after another, and the awards ceremony officially began.
With his wonderful performances in many movies and TV series, Xu Weiheng won the "Most Popular Actor of the Year" award, and "A Letter to Home" also won the "Best Screenwriter" award.
It's just that in the competition for "Best Director" and "Best Cinematography", "A Letter from Home" lost to its opponents.
It didn't take long for the "Best Actor" competition to finally arrive.
"This laureate has an amazing talent, a moving ability to empathize. He is very young, but he has debuted for many years and has created many classic roles. Some say he's a star, others say
, he is not a star, he is the light itself. Let'sā"
"Congratulations to Xu Weiheng!"
On the big screen at the award ceremony, Xu Weiheng's figure suddenly appeared.
He walked up to the podium and received the trophy symbolizing 'Best Actor' from the hands of the award presenters.
Holding the trophy, Xu Weiheng stood in front of the microphone, the corners of his lips rose slightly, and his eyes were full of starlight.
"I first entered the entertainment industry because I wanted to get a lot of attention and love from many people."
"When I was sixteen, I had the idea of quitting the entertainment industry. That's when I met the person who favored me the most in the whole world. ā
"Slowly, I rediscovered my love for acting. After that, I moved forward step by step, with my feet on the ground. ā
"From the age of sixteen to twenty-six, from standing in front of the camera to apologizing, to standing here with the trophy in my hand, I walked this road for a whole ten years. The biggest motivation for me to keep going is because I want to stand in this high-profile place and ask the person who prefers me the most-"
"Am I your pride now?"
The camera at the award ceremony and the camera in the live broadcast room were aimed at Yao Rong in the audience at the same time.
The reporters in the audience hurriedly handed Yao Rong the microphone.
Yao Rong got up with the microphone and looked at Xu Weiheng and smiled.
"The answer to this question, I already told you at the end of the movie."
"If you want to hear it again, I can tell you with certainty by now that you have always been my pride."
Xu Weiheng's eyes flashed, and his tone was slightly choked: "It's my luck to have a mother like you." ā
"Nope. Being your mother is the luckiest thing in my life. ā
There are countless people in this world, but only one is her child.
He may not be the smartest, not the most sensible, but in her eyes, he is the most unique.
Connected to her blood, dependent on her life, dependent on her, and protected by her; Sometimes he makes her angry, but more often than not, he brings her soul comfort.
Who doesn't love to watch an epiphany bloom.
Who doesn't like to look at the falling stars, like the rising sun?
