Dou Wei was very cautious, and watched the silent film cut out of "The Undertaker" repeatedly for three days before entering the creation, and he was in good shape.

The film is very quiet, with not much music used, and Su Changqing asks for a lot of cello solos, and the style is deep and soothing, as if trying to restrain some kind of strong emotion.

Dou Wei said that he could understand, which was very in line with his current state of mind.

Su Changqing has always attached great importance to the soundtrack, the film is an audio-visual art, and the proper soundtrack can greatly enhance the spirituality of the picture, Dou Wei is the kind of idealistic musician who is very self-egoistic, which is more suitable for the style of his works, and has cooperated since "Model Team".

According to the industry, it is the queen, but Dou Wei doesn't like this word.

Su Changqing hadn't seen Harumi in Hachiman for several days, and her family's affairs were getting more and more chaotic, all this time on Mt. Fuji or Hakone, which was the home base of the family business.

Tokyo is cold and rainy, and the wanderer's nights are long and deserted.

When "Moving Labyrinth" made a bet with Takeshi Kitano, Su Changqing wanted him to taste the power of liquor, and Ximen Xiong prepared several bottles for this, but then he didn't use it.

During this time, he sometimes went to Chinatown to get some lo-mei, so the three men and Liu Yufei sat together for a drink to pass the long night.

Most of the talk is about childhood, and it seems that only then was beautiful and worth mentioning.

Su Changqing grew up in his grandfather's fishing village when he was a child, and his memories were all about catching the sea, and then rushing to sell some small fish and shrimp, Dou Wei's teenage years were poor and happy in Hutong skewers, Ximenxiong was a fool in the circle, no one played with him, Liu Yufei didn't talk about herself, and listened to the three of them chatting quietly.

Later, she said to Su Changqing: "The growth of girls is a secret, why do you say it to people who have nothing to do with it." ”

"It's all big, what secrets can there be. ”

"It's all small things, but I only share them with the people I love. ”

In this case, Su Changqing didn't ask.

But this is a good habit, don't say what happened to Liu Yufei when she was six years old, Ximen Xiong said on a certain occasion what Liu Yufei did when she was seven years old, Dou Wei accidentally revealed her eight-year-old situation, the information originally originated from a small talk, but it is likely that the speaker has no intention of listening, and rumors are easy to breed in the entertainment industry.

Everyone also talked about Su Changqing's new movie, Dou Wei said that he had watched it more than a dozen times, and he was about to vomit.

"I don't mean that the movie is bad, the movie is great, it's just that I can't stand the Japanese pretentiousness, all the ritual things are hypocritical, people are dead and still fiddling around, and they can't come back to life. ”

Dou Wei said that when he was a child, as long as there were dead people in the alley, a group of little cubs would pick up the window to look, and the most direct impression was that people could only be valued after they died, and others might be afraid that he would suddenly have a special ability to come back to take revenge on the previous grievances.

Playing rock and roll is the most unbearable sense of ritual, but Su Changqing also agrees: "This film does not show cultural traditions, but products of the post-industrial era, and people need ritualized things to show their personal value." ”

In fact, more than ten years ago, Japan also remade a famous movie about life and death in the 50s, "Narayama Festival Examination", which won the Cannes Palme d'Or.

After all, it is a French who likes to hold high the banner of humanity, and Cannes eats this set of themes very much, and "The Undertaker" should go to Cannes.

The story takes place more than 100 years ago in a remote village in Narayama, Japan, due to the extreme poverty of life, there is no surplus food in the village for the elderly and children to eat, there is a custom since ancient times: a man is 70 years old and a woman is 60 years old, and his son will carry it to the mountain god behind the village to sacrifice to the mountain god and let it destroy itself.

Of course, you have to do this in the winter, because people die more quickly.

The description of life and death in the film has been expected, but there is a detail that still makes Su Changqing particularly chilling, if a person is over fifty years old and still has sound teeth, he will be disliked by the villagers, so the old man secretly knocked out his teeth.

Dou Wei said: "Ordinary people will never have much value, and there is no dignity at all, from the "Narayama Festival Examination" to "The Undertaker" is only a hundred years, I am afraid that only economic ability has changed, if the society returns to extreme poverty, the matter of sending people to worship the mountain god may not happen again, but it will definitely come back in another way." ”

Su Changqing's new film doesn't show this, he can't win awards if he shoots it like this, what he provides is the main theme of positive energy under Western values, which is a cheat.

Liu Yufei hasn't watched the film in its entirety, so she didn't comment rashly, and she didn't eat or drink.

She said that since she had taken over Wang Yuyan, she had to start to pay attention to weight control, and she rarely drank alcohol, but now she doesn't drink at all.

Ximen Xiong starred in the strong man in "Taiping", and when he saw Liu Yufei participating in "Dragon Babu", he was also eager to try to mix it again.

However, he is a big man of 1.9 meters, young, tall and strong, and there seems to be no suitable main role in "Dragon Babu".

"Why can't I play Duan Yu, he is Duan Yanqing's son, he should be a tall talent, and it is unlikely that he will look like bean sprouts. ”

Duan Yanqing is indeed very tall, maybe Duan Yu should inherit his father's height, but Duan Yu in the original book is a handsome son, not stupid.

No one took Ximenxiong's stubble, Dou Wei was a little incomprehensible: "How can anyone like acting, I don't like to go on stage, I just went up to make a living." ”

Liu Yufei couldn't help but scold him: "You don't have to be on stage to make a living, don't you study psychiatric nursing, you can stay in a mental hospital." ”

Dou Wei is indeed a psychiatric nurse.

Later, Liu Yufei said to Su Changqing: "Dou Wei is persecuted and delusional, and he should see a doctor." ”

Women really can't be offended, including her best friends.

On November 19, the first snow fell in Beijing after the beginning of winter in 96, and Huang Yang took Huang Bo, Wang Baoqiang and the film crew to Zhangjiakou.

Since Wang Baoqiang is a milkman, of course he has to go to a place where there is a dairy farm to film.

"All the Way Crazy" officially started filming.

It also began to snow in Japan, and Su Changqing took the crew to shoot a few more scenes in the snow, and then edited them into the film, and the filming work was completely over.

At the end of November, Dou Wei's soundtrack work was completed, the sound effects were added, and the actors were re-called to dub.

When Su Changqing was writing the script, he talked with Ken Takakura about "The Undertaker" going to Europe and the United States to participate in the exhibition, and took the time to further determine with the three leading actors that he would go to Cannes for the premiere in mid-May next year.

Chizu Kano must be fine, the film festival lasts for 12 days, and Ken Takakura and Aiko Kajiya both said that they will definitely participate in the adjustment of the schedule at that time.

"Thief Family" decided to participate in the Berlin Film Festival earlier, starting in February, but the film is currently halfway through filming, and the production will definitely be completed in January, so I have time to apply.

Takeshi Kitano said to Su Changqing: "It's okay if you don't appear often during the filming, Berlin won't be absent, right?"

This must go, otherwise how will the historical picture of the winning Silver Bear Award for the script be left.

The Spring Festival of '97 was the beginning of February, and after the New Year, I immediately went to Berlin.

In addition, the Organizing Committee of the Blue Dragon Awards in South Korea also sent an invitation to invite the main creative team of "Taipinghao" to participate in the award ceremony held in December.

"Taiping" has a high demand for awards, and when the production of "The Undertaker" is completed, it is possible to gather the original team to gather in Seoul, after all, this is the highest award in South Korea, if you don't accept it, you will offend people, how can you chat happily in the future?

Ximen Xiong seems to have a girlfriend in South Korea, and he also pouted: "When we return home, let's go and get it on the way, and if we don't take it, we won't take it for nothing." ”
