Chapter 370: 368. Ao Xuemei

Chapter 370 368. Aoxuemei

Close the shelf.

Let go.

Looking at the two people who were silent, Yang Mi didn't know whether they were waiting for her to continue talking or what.

But since they don't talk, she will express her understanding little by little:

"Through these four lines, I deduced a general plot of the story. Because there is no more specific content...So if what I said is not accurate, Director Wang doesn't mind. After all, I only have so much information .”

As she spoke, she nodded slightly to Wang Jiawei, and after expressing her apology, she began to say:

"First of all, this drama is about the martial arts in the Republic of China, and the prototype of Gong Haneda, I learned from my senior, is Gong Hou Gong Baotian, a martial arts wonderman in the Republic of China. Gong Er is his daughter.

As for the first line, Gong Er talked about the three realms of martial arts, but the analysis of the second half of the line shows that when she said this line, she was speaking to someone she had placed high hopes on of.

She has the temperament of "can only advance, not retreat", and is a very proud person. For such a proud person to say such a thing, it shows that the relationship between the two must be extraordinary. Either a master and apprentice, or a very outstanding person whom she admired very much. And when she said this, her mentality should be that she has completed the third step, which is to see the transformation of sentient beings.

I think that Gong Er in this period does not need to flaunt how good she is, or how capable she is at fighting. In our martial arts, it is not only the level of martial arts that is compared, but in our philosophy, kung fu is indeed a technique of fighting and killing people, but it is also a kind of keeping a low profile full of philosophy. What it feeds is its own heart.

Therefore, in my definition, when Gong Er said this, it was like a line. She saw herself, saw the world, but saw all living beings at the last step... That is a little more understandable: "Seeing the mountain is still When she reached the realm of "mountain", she couldn't go down.

Perhaps, her talent no longer supports her to go on, or...she chose to trap herself between Jianshan is not a mountain, and Jianshan is still a mountain. In short, she didn't want to go on.

The motivation behind her not wanting to go on must be that she has experienced some things, and her mentality has changed from a competitive girl to... just like the name of this movie "The Grandmaster". So, she was relieved.

I think there is actually a bit of Zen in it, but... it is more about the martial arts in her heart, which has come to an end. Therefore, the timing of the first line should be placed in the second half of Gong Er's own story. "

"..."

"..."

Listening to her, she can analyze so many things with just a simple line.

Wang Jiawei didn't speak first.

On the contrary, Xu Haofeng frowned tightly.

Because... this sentence was written by him.

and listened to it from the second master.

He thought it was good, so he added this. It just happens to be a very vague mentality of a martial arts practitioner in "The Great Master" at different stages.

can be regarded as evidence of a level.

But following Yang Mi's explanation...Xu Haofeng asked himself unconsciously:

"When I wrote this line... did I really mean it?"

At this moment, Wang Jiawei suddenly said:

"Did you bring those four lines?"

"have."

Yang Mi responded and opened the notebook.

Following her movements, the two of them saw the densely packed writing on the entire notebook...

and the yellowed A4 paper folded in half.

From the creases on the top, the two of them knew... These four lines are really being read frequently.

After Yang Mi handed it over, Wang Jiawei opened it and took a look...

Nodding slightly:

"What about the second line?"

"The second line, I think she should say it to Liang Chaowei?"

When Wang Jiawei heard this, he couldn't help looking at Xu Haofeng.

seems a little speechless.

Xu Haofeng shrugged:

"I just told her that the actor is Liang Chaowei, but I didn't say anything else."

Yang Mi didn't say anything, but continued:

"The interpretation of this second line is actually the palest one. I can't guess much, but I combined the third line, that is, "If I really insisted on learning tricks back then, I would definitely It's the actor on stage", but I think it should be said in the same scene.

They echoed back and forth, making Gong Er say this sentence to Liang Chaowei at a certain stage.

And when these words were said, it must have been when the two of them were at the same time... when the hot sparks would be ignited with just a light touch, only one step away, it seemed that the two of them could pierce the layer of paper, but But Gong Er took the initiative to extinguish it.

Therefore, Gong Er and Liang Chaowei should have such an emotional foundation in the play. In terms of the most basic theoretical template of drama, it is to create contradictions, produce contradictions, intensify contradictions, and finally end contradictions.

The two should have known each other for a while, and they had a mutual affection for each other. But in the end, it must be Gong Er's side who cut off this relationship. "

"why?"

Wang Jiawei asked:

"Why do you conclude that she took the initiative."

"Because she has a stubbornness and toughness that "can only advance, not retreat" in her character."

Retelling Gong Er's introduction, Yang Mi said:

"My master, Mr. Yu Chenghui, and I have talked a lot about the martial arts in the Republic of China. In the martial arts of the Republic of China, no matter how big things are, there is no more than the word rules. Because the rules are the foundation of the martial arts. And this point of view, in the Brother, you also got evidence in the book "The Lost Martial Arts" you published."

Xu Haofeng nodded slightly.

"Yes, it is indeed a rule."

"And I associate Gong Er's temper, that is, the stubbornness that can only advance but not retreat, to the family rules of the Gong family, that is, the rules of martial arts.

Gong Er's temperament should be as big as the sky and the earth, not bigger than the Gong family.

And if the Gong family wants to be supported by this sentence, then it must be the epitome of martial arts in that era.

So, in Gong Er's heart, the rules of the family are also the rules of the martial arts. And as long as you are a martial artist, everything is more than rules.

In the same way, in Gong Er's heart, nothing is as important as the concrete manifestation of "rules", or the "Gong family" as the carrier.

The Gong family is the embodiment of martial arts rules.

The members of the Gong family, from birth, will also become the embodiment of rules.

Rules are the essence of martial arts. It is also the foundation of the Gong family. Gong Er is no exception. "

After explaining her point of view clearly word by word, Yang Mi pointed to the piece of paper in Wang Jiawei's hand:

"And the fourth line is the best evidence for my statement. Offending the Gong family, in Gong Er's case, is an offense to the rules. It is more important than anything else. Even if she has wronged herself, the Gong family will still stand in this world."

As she spoke, she stretched out two fingers:

"This is why I said, Gong Er has two martial arts in his heart.

One is the real martial arts, that is, the Gong family.

One is her own martial arts.

The real martial arts world cannot be broken, no matter how much sacrifice is made, she must ensure its continued existence. Therefore, between the collective and the self, Gong Er chose the collective without hesitation.

This is why she said that she will never see sentient beings again in this life.

This is a very philosophical proposition. We are born ignorant, seek knowledge and explore, and finally return to our true self. Between the collective and the individual, whether it is the selflessness of human nature or selfishness, everyone's choice is different. And her choice is to sacrifice her selfishness to maintain the decency and dignity of the Gong family.

She is like the founding purpose of the Chinese Samurai Association, which carried the "no country, no home" back then. For the country and the family, she sacrificed her ego and fulfilled her ego.

So, in my design, I also designed Gong Er in three stages. "

As she spoke, she pointed to the notepad in front of her.

"In the beginning, I felt that Gong Er's kung fu must be very powerful. Moreover, during the audition, I planned to show a kind of...legendary color of strange people and strange men in the Republic of China.

But later, I think this role should be given more significance of the times.

So, after the May 4th Movement, I combined the idea that new women’s thoughts began to sprout and awaken. Jean Gong Er was endowed with a special spirit of that era, like a role model for all women of the old era. I think it's a great bridge.

But finally, I thought of the name of this script. Since Gong Er can become "The Great Master", it must be because she has reached a very high ideological level to some extent. It is not enough to be a role model for women. There must be a greater love in her body, and being sacrificed by a greater love will not make people sad, but will only make people feel... regrettable, lamentable but respectable.

And the transformation of these three stages, I think it is the most suitable for this role.

It's like using a movie to tell the whole life of Gong Er.

This is worthy of the name of Shanggong Er's "The Great Master".

And in the last stage, Gong Er, is no longer Gong Er, but has become Mr. Gong Er.

She sacrificed something to become Mr. It is precisely by becoming a gentleman that one can be called a master of the generation.

This is my entire understanding of Gong Er.

Of course, I also borrowed a lot of story prototypes, all of which are in this notebook. "

After the words fell, in the silence between the two, Yang Mi pushed the notepad forward:

"Maybe these are some of my humble opinions, but... If you two think there is any reference value, you can take a look."

"..."

"..."

Xu Haofeng and Wang Jiawei were equally silent.

What Director Wang thinks, he doesn't know.

You can come to him...

He had a… weird excitement.

Because he got some inspiration.

Although he still can't figure it out clearly for the time being, it is true that he has gained a lot of inspiration for the role of Gong Er from Yang Mi's words.

The other party's work...

Well done.

Really good, good enough to kill all the audition people.

Although I haven't seen how the acting skills are... But, based on this understanding, Xu Haofeng feels that the opponent's Gong Er... is even better, more awesome, and more...delicate than his own!

With this in mind, he directly picked up the notepad that Yang Mi pushed over, and couldn't wait to open the first page...

But at this moment, Wang Jiawei suddenly asked:

"From what you mean, do you think Gong Er is the absolute protagonist of this drama in your heart?"

Hearing this, Xu Haofeng was suddenly taken aback...

Yang Mi nodded:

"Yes, the well-deserved first protagonist."

"...What about Liang Chaowei?"

"What happened to Liang Chaowei?"

"If Gong Er is the protagonist, what kind of position do you think Liang Chaowei should be in? After all, he is the male protagonist."

"Well…"

Now, Yang Mi frowned.

She first glanced at Xu Haofeng, then at Wang Jiawei...

It seems that this question is difficult to answer.

Wang Jiawei also saw that she seemed to have something to say, so he said slowly:

"It's okay, this is a discussion."

"…good."

Yang Mi nodded, looked at Wang Jiawei and said:

"My husband, in fact, this morning, he talked with me about the question you asked Wang Dao. What he meant was very simple, that is, the second palace in my thinking, which was too sharp.

If I act like this, or if the tone of the script really goes like this, then this Gong Er will greatly compress other people's roles and living space...

Although I know that Liang Chaowei is the protagonist, in my heart, I still firmly believe that if "The Grandmaster" is not a heroine, then its entire script and story will become something nondescript...Of course , I'm not saying the story is bad. "

She waved her hand, let the two of them calm down, and then continued:

"I'm referring to the overall storyline. Gong Er needs a complete mentality transformation process to be worthy of her four lines and her stubborn temper.

This conversion process must be complete, and without one step, one cannot become a so-called "grandmaster".

But if there is an extra male protagonist at this time... If the story is unfolded from a male perspective. If it's about me, as Gong Er, the only thing I can accept is that Liang Chaowei will come and play a supporting role for me. "

"..."

"..."

Xu Haofeng's mouth twitched.

Just as I was about to say something, I saw that Yang Mi's eyes revealed a kind of unwavering determination:

"I'm not talking about raising my position or changing the script, but...in this story, if I want the role of Gong Er to achieve the degree of completion I expected...you have to do it the other way around. Gong Er is the male character. The protagonist, and Leung Chiu Wai is the heroine.

The story has to revolve around Gong Er and the Gong family. What is Liang Chaowei's story... Actually it doesn't matter... It's not that it doesn't matter. If you want a feeling of being displaced in troubled times, then his fragments must be stories of surviving from the cracks.

The theme of the whole movie must revolve around Gong Jia and Gong Er. Between Gong Er and Liang Chaowei, at most, it is enough to reflect the feeling of wandering and helpless in troubled times. For the real experience, Gong Er still needs to come here in person.

And, regarding the tone of the story, my husband helped me recommend many possibilities. To tell you the truth, after referring to all the martial artists from the north and south of that era, we both thought of a possibility...

Surely Liang Chaowei can’t play a northerner, right? That's why my husband even joked with me, saying don't let Liang Chaowei play Ip Man, you play Gong Baotian's daughter, and then you two work together to avenge Zhang Dashuai..."

"..."

As soon as these words came out, Wang Jiawei, who was calm and calm wearing sunglasses, finally couldn't maintain that expression.

The corner of his mouth twitched wildly...

And Yang Mi was also having fun.

Obviously, she also thinks her brother's idea is crazy.

As for Xu Haofeng...

"Cough cough cough cough..."

He coughed a few times, quickly picked up the teacup and took a sip of water.

Suppressed and shocked.

"In short, starting from the role alone, if the role of Gong Er wants to achieve the meaning of "grandmaster" given by these four lines, in my opinion, the role of the role must be very important.

But...if the role played by Liang Chaowei is also important...then unless you want to make a film of more than 3 hours, the thing you have to face may be that both sides are not pleasing, so you have to make a choice.

If the focus is on Gong Er, then this drama is a serious heroine drama. But if you focus on Liang Chaowei's role, don't give too much of Gong Er's role, just let her be a vase honestly.

For these four lines, at least two lines must be cut off.

This is an opinion expressed by my husband and I while chatting. It's just... before my brother said that you have decided to direct this film and he wanted to shoot it, he discussed with me the idea. Don't mind it~"

"..."

Wang Jiawei was speechless, just nodded slightly.

Her husband, the young director Xu Xin who has been in the limelight recently asked Xu Haofeng about the script, and Xu Haofeng had told him about it before.

It is also normal for directors to have their own shooting ideas for stories.

But…

Rao is so...

Looking down at these four lines, his heart is far less calm than the "sunglasses are the body" on the surface.

The so-called expert will know if there is one as soon as he makes a move.

The young director didn't mention it.

Just talk about the understanding of the role for a while...

Wang Jiawei knew it very well.

Her understanding of Gong Er has surpassed all the people who came to the audition so far.

Even Zhang Ziyi.

but…

This has become her biggest constraint.

Even if she actually guessed what this story is mainly about...

But... the biggest difference is the story structure.

For him, Ip Man played by Liang Chaowei is the "grandmaster of a generation".

During the past few years of finishing the script, although he really wanted to film a martial arts era, the protagonist was still Ip Man.

The heroine?

He had to admit, the idea was brilliant.

only…

Now, he needs to think about whether the two ideas are good or bad.

After all, according to what she said, then Ip Man really became a supporting role.

Ye Man as a supporting role...

The sunglasses concealed the psychological activity in his eyes.

After a while of silence, he nodded:

"I need to think about these ideas... How about an audition first?"

"OK."

Yang Mi nodded in agreement.

"You are Gong Er. Now, you and Liang Chaowei... Well, just do what you think, Ip Man. Gong Er and Ip Man are watching a play. Gong Er is watching the actors on the stage performing other people's joys and sorrows. Asked to say that passage: Back then, I had to be really stubborn and learn the tricks... that's all."

"Okay. Give me 2 minutes."

Yang Mi raised two fingers, then coughed a few times:

"Ahem, one, two, three, four..."

Her voice began to shift, and after finding a texture that she thought was suitable, she looked around...

Looked around, and then looked at Wang Jiawei's position.

After thinking about it, he pointed to the side of the TV to Xu Haofeng:

"Brother, you stand here."

Xu Haofeng nodded and walked to the TV.

Yang Mi looked at Wang Jiawei again, and seemed to regard his sunglasses as a camera. After adjusting the angle for Xu Haofeng, she chose to stand between the TV and Xu Haofeng.

From Wang Jiawei's point of view, he could just see the small profiles of the two.

Standing up, Yang Mi pointed to Wang Jiawei's right hand again:

"Brother, there is the stage over there. The audition will start in a while, just look over there."

"good."

Xu Haofeng asked again:

"Aren't we facing the stage?"

"I talked with the master, and the master said that when he was a child, he began to learn art from the master of the Shandong Guoshu Museum. He once heard the master say that at that time, when watching the theater, the women sat on both sides as much as possible. If there is a private room, they will sit in the private room. Anyway, try not to sit in the middle as much as possible. Because being caught between too many men will be gossiped and it is not proper."

"…I see."

Xu Haofeng was obviously aware of this statement for the first time. On the one hand, he felt that she had done enough homework, while nodding to express his understanding, and continued to ask:

"Then what am I going to say later?"

"No, I'll do it myself. You just stand here, and after counting silently for five seconds, take a step forward and come to me."

After Yang Mi finished speaking, she closed her eyes.

"Hiss~~~"

"Hoo..."

After taking a long, long, deep breath, she closed her eyes and concentrated for about five seconds.

When she opened her eyes again, her eyebrows deliberately stretched to the sides, turning into two crescent moons. The agility in the eyes has been softened with the control of the eyebrow and eye muscles.

In addition to the control of facial micro-expression muscles that only the actors themselves know how to do, she suddenly gives people a sense of... a few years older out of thin air.

turned away from the maiden and became a woman.

But there is no charm on her body.

It's just a time of leisure.

However, her shoulders slumped a little.

During one pregnancy, her curves lost the right-angled shoulders before, and the healthy and beautiful muscularity of the lines disappeared a lot.

And after the natural drop of the two arms, the feeling of thinness of the whole person suddenly emerged.

Moreover, staying in this posture freezes, giving people a feeling of exhaustion that exudes from the inside out... after many trials and hardships.

And the quiet and relaxed posture that appears to be more and more calm because of enough experience.

Then, Xu Haofeng who counted silently for 5 seconds took a step forward.

Someone came to Gong Er's side.

The moment she noticed the approaching person, the original exhaustion was transformed into a spirit of forcibly fighting with a slight shoulder lift.

It's as if he doesn't want to show his tiredness in front of people.

But it is such a contrived movement that makes people more clearly appreciate the tiredness on her body.

She is very tired.

And this kind of tiredness cannot be eliminated, and the recovery is not good, and it cannot be digested no matter what.

But she is still unwilling to show a little weakness in front of visitors.

As much as possible, I want to show the best side to him.

"..."

Amidst Xu Haofeng's silence, the woman who forcibly pulled herself together turned into Gong Er.

Using a calm and calm voice with a somewhat hoarse texture, he stared sideways at the opposite stage and murmured:

"Back then, Yaosuo really insisted on learning tricks... I will definitely be a star on stage."

Following the first sentence, there is a kind of confidence rippling on the face.

Be confident that as long as you do it, you can do your best.

But immediately, a burst of confidence was replaced by a burst of emptiness with a bit of nostalgia.

Her eyes are a little straighter, but more empty.

In the void, there is the play that belonged to me.

No one knows what is going on in the play.

But she was deeply stuck in memories, unable to extricate herself.

And this emotion turned into a whisper that suddenly became low:

"Thousands of turns and turns, both sorrow and joy."

she murmured.

Because of the low tone, even Wang Jiawei had to lean forward and listen carefully.

"I'm tired of singing the female generals of the Yang family, so I changed to Yuyuan Jingmeng and continued singing...ha."

With a chuckle, the empty murmur was completely dispelled.

Once again turned into a flower of longing born in the soil of memories and emptiness.

Yearning, fantasy.

Clearly knowing that it is impossible, but still unable to extricate myself from being immersed in that beauty...

It’s like confessing, telling your loved one what you want to achieve the most:

"At that time, you were in the audience, I sang, you see."

But after she finished speaking, suddenly, she blinked.

This is the blink of an eye.

The expressions on his face all disappeared without a trace.

It's like Du Liniang who met Liu Mengmei in the Garden of Dreams.

After waking up, review the dream of visiting the garden.

Like a dream but not a dream.

Finally, Gong Er personally erased all the unrealistic and dreamy things, and returned to the calmness of the tired years.

Faintly and calmly, she withdrew all her thoughts and said:

"It's really interesting to think about meeting like that."

"..."

"..."

Xu Haofeng didn't know what Wang Jiawei was thinking.

It can be used as a person who closely observes all the changes in Yang Mi's expressions, movements, and demeanor. At this moment, he feels as if he really saw...Gong Er.

Gong Er, just so quietly... like a bunch of plum blossoms.

Blooming faintly in the invisible wind and snow, she blooms fragrantly and gorgeously.

But in this wind and snow, the flowers disappeared.

How beautiful the plum blossoms once were...

Only Fengxue knew about it.

Don’t worry about the plot of the game. I have arrangements. Ask yourself, the current Yang Mi, if I really wrote that she has put Tang Ren in a pot at this juncture, Liu Zhishi will definitely not be able to pick it out. Because she is an entertainer in the company.

But think about it from another angle, if you are in Liu Zhishi's position in this matter, and you tell your friend something that may be bad for him, he turns around and doesn't say anything, and even your own company takes you with him. , will you feel comfortable? In other words, if I really write like this, Yang Mi's character design is really broken.

Because everyone can recall carefully, about the plot of Yang and Liu, I wrote three or four times about the plot of Liu hiding something from the company for Yang Mi. Liu did not betray Yang Mi, so Yang Mi will not betray her either. This is the couple... or Yang Mi's bottom line. So the drama is not over.

The curve of the character's mentality is subject to a change, and this plot has something deeper, which paves the way for future plots. I don't write a book in the style that I pretend to be cool and then feel cool, and then become dry. Every plot in this book is one after another, connecting the previous and the next. But due to the space and the progress of the plot, I want to untie it bit by bit for everyone to see.

This is not a useless plot. It works, and it's not over yet. Don't worry, everyone.
