Chapter 645: 643 Separation and Turning the Tide

Chapter 645 643. Separation and turning the tide

Now, Xu Xin feels more or less like a daughter-in-law.

If before this sentence, he looked at this movie... kind of like looking at a fresh pile of cow shit.

So after that sentence, he's watching this movie, and it kind of feels like...someone fed cow **** to his mouth.

These words are definitely not a joke.

The lens language has a very clear level of expression.

If two people have a conversation, you say what you say and you go back and forth, then even if the two of them are cursing at each other, the audience doesn't have to be angry.

Because this is a conflict between the characters in the play.

Treat things not people.

But what was that shot of Uncle Ge just now?

When the feet were pressed, he and the girl were lying on the sofa together, and the two had a conversation.

This is a language to describe the scene. No matter what the two talk about, it is a matter between the two of them and has nothing to do with the audience.

Whether the audience likes it or not is up to the audience, and the lines of the characters in the play are designed in this way.

But... when Uncle Ge said the phrase "is a poor man", he had an obvious picture of staring at the camera.

Those words were said to the camera.

Although the design of this bridge section is that the two are hosting the show, this kind of trick like nesting in series is purely running towards the fourth wall.

Uncle Ge stared at the camera and told everyone clearly:

"I am speaking to you."

It’s not the stewardesses in the screen who can still laugh out loud after hearing this, nor is it the so-called fictional “audience”.

He used his gaze to tell the people outside the fourth wall who saw the movie:

"Poor people hate those who have been poor. What they want to do most after turning over is to order people around even harder."

This is not an overinterpretation.

Give the simplest example.

Uncle Ge took an advertisement for a China Bank card.

is the source of the slogan "Go to China, I think it will work".

Uncle Ge spoke to the camera the whole time.

So the question is, who is he talking to?

Director? lens? Or an actor?

Or the audience who watched this advertisement?

Although Feng Xiaogang played with a scene nesting here, it expressed that the flight attendant was watching the show.

But…

Everyone is not stupid.

Who is this speech full of superiority and contempt talking about?

Isn’t it the “stewardesses” who watch this fictional program?

People are hurting you, looking down on you, and despising you from the bottom of their hearts.

Happily, it can make you laugh out loud.

Using a kind of arrogance belonging to cultural people, insulting these ordinary people who don't understand anything.

Then you can't hear it, but it can make you laugh...

This is why Yang Mi said the words "Wang Shuo is dead" after hearing this line from Uncle Ge.

The genius writer who denounced elitism at the beginning is now living like them.

"well…"

Suddenly, he sighed.

Looking at the screen, Director Feng continued to shake his clever lines:

"Because baby penguins live in the Antarctic."

"Hahaha~"

There were bursts of laughter in the theater.

Xu Xin didn't smile.

Even if this is very authentic Feng's humor.

He was just thinking about one thing...or had a plan.

That is... After returning home, he wanted to re-watch Director Feng's movies, from his debut period to "Tangshan Earthquake".

There is no other reason, it is for exploration, reference and thinking.

Director Feng's movie, his favorite is "Party A and Party B".

Firstly, it was because the bridge section of "Sweet Dream Day Trip" was too classic, and it was one of the funniest humors he had encountered in childhood.

Secondly, it is because there is a description of northern Shaanxi in that play. When I watched it when I was young, I felt that it was my hometown, and it was very kind.

Although everyone is about to fight now, to be honest, he claims that he has no hatred with everyone in the Beijing circle.

They didn't cheat themselves, and they didn't hurt them.

The reason why everyone has conflicts is because they are in the same arena.

People in the arena involuntarily.

Each according to their ability.

But... As a colleague, he doesn't believe that a director is born to look at everyone in the world from the perspective of elitism under such exquisite packaging.

And...he seems to be from a poor child?

It shouldn't be.

So, he wanted to watch it from the beginning to the end, through the film, to understand what kind of transformation of director Feng's mental journey took place, and then he became the attitude he looks at things today.

Look, understand, find an opportunity, sort it out, and remind yourself.

He was quite scared.

I was afraid that I would live like Director Feng before I knew it.

Under the mediocre daydream of the extreme self, what is not yet known is gone forever.

So, even though a spoonful of **** was thrown in front of him by this movie, he continued to endure it, wanting to finish watching it.

Because he has already expressed interest in Feng Xiaogang's transformation.

but…

After the auction, the tone of the film suddenly took a turn.

Li Xiangshan paid 500,000 yuan for a bottle of wine at the auction, took it to a western restaurant to drink with Qin Fen, and when he took off his socks to reveal the melanoma...

Suddenly, the rhythm of the film is different.

The color of love begins to fade.

A strand...with a somewhat magnanimous and open-minded meaning of "live and die", rushing towards my face.

Xu Xin was taken aback when he saw it.

Qin Fen began to prepare for Xiangshan's farewell party.

The clip in the middle is a very smooth progressive plot, including at the preparatory meeting, Qin Fen used his usual teasing to bid farewell to a death, and the atmosphere was so relaxed.

But Xu Xin frowned all the time.

because…

split.

The rhythm of the film...is broken.

The first half is a story of an old donkey eating tender grass, which is hypocritical.

In-depth interpretation, it is actually two views of marriage...or to put it a little bigger, the differences between two people, two generations, and two genders seek to collide.

But after Li Xiangshan got terminally ill, the film changed from this kind of discussion of marriage views to a view of major life events such as "living happily and dying".

To be honest, these two points of view, whichever one is brought out for shooting, are absolutely wonderful.

If this is filmed for him, it will be two complete movies.

The role played by Qin Fen and Shu Qi is one, and Li Xiangshan's "short" life is another.

He has full confidence in making both films well.

But if you put both points of view together...

In Xu Xin's view, there are only two outcomes.

Either extremely bloated, or an irreparable split.

Inexperienced directors try their best to put their own ideas into the movie, which is bloated.

Director Feng is obviously the latter.

He... overestimated his level.

In other words, the confidence in oneself is too strong.

Made him feel like he could handle the film.

But in fact…

At least in the pros, it's fragmented.

Although Xu Xin can probably guess later, it may be that Li Xiangshan's death sublimated Qin Fen and Shu Qi.

But... the taste of worrying about adding new words will become stronger.

Love and marriage have never had anything to do with life and death.

Real beauty is not, shouldn't, more "preferably not" based on death.

The best thing would be for the two of them to live happily ever after without illness or disaster.

Director Feng, this is too far-fetched.

He was thinking, and in the picture, Li Xiangshan's final "confession" to everyone who came to the farewell meeting today began.

At first, Xu Xin didn't listen much, but was just thinking about why he chose such a fragmented shooting rhythm.

is the story's downside? Or do you want too many things, and finally find that you can't give a satisfactory result?

But immediately he heard Li Xiangshan's lines:

"Anyway, I can't complain about life anymore.

Deserved, I got it.

I didn’t deserve it, but I got it too.

Those present here today, in detail, can’t be considered fuckers.

The most unreliable ones are not so unreliable..."

In the screen, relatives, friends and old friends who came to the farewell party laughed loudly.

But Xu Xin began to listen to the lines attentively.

This line... interesting.

Yang Mi expressed it more directly.

After listening to these few words, she suddenly sat up straight.

Whether her husband understands or not, she doesn't know.

But she is too familiar.

The humor between the lines...

Too Lao She's style.

But Lao She doesn't like to swear.

And so far, among the books Yang Mi has read, she is the only one who can use Lao She's tone, mixed with her own swear words, but can construct a kind of **** language that is humorous and alley-like, but it makes people applaud , and only Wang Shuo.

This line is definitely written by Wang Shuo himself.

and…

She also felt a change in the rhythm of the film when Li Xiangshan exposed her melanoma.

"Been loved by others many times.

Also loved others many times.

In the end, I have to say that I don't know how to value it.

Lived up to many kindnesses and good intentions.

have offended,

secretly against me.

I am here,

also paid off with death..."

"Living is a kind of practice,

I am ashamed to report to everyone that Li Xiangshan's practice in this life has not yielded anything good or bad.

He's so **** busy.

Busy making money, busy drinking, busy emotional crisis.

I was busy with my practice. "

"Are you afraid of death? Xiangshan. Hokkaido farmers greet you."

"Scared. It's like walking at night, like knocking on a black door. You don't know whether there is a colorful world or an abyss behind the door..."

Hearing this, Xu Xin couldn't help sighing:

"well…"

So, is it not good to divide the film into two themes?

This line is used to make the final summary and ending, to record Li Xiangshan... It is just like what was said in the blackboard newspaper later:

"I have loved, I have lost, I have lived, I have known you."

Isn't it good?

Did you not realize that the script was splitting?

Or is it forced to go forward step by step by the capital force behind it, and there is no way to turn back?

Your old man's ability, in the end, can only go so far?

Or maybe...

You have initially realized that your path has gone astray... Have the idea of turning back and transforming but can't start?

Suddenly, Xu Xin discovered...

Today's movie is really not in vain.

Because he interpreted many things about Director Feng from the side.

And these things reminded him all the time, the importance of the words the old man said to him that made him deeply rooted in the soil.

at the same time…

It's like a kind of...signal again.

Or weighing.

Originally, although Qi Lei expressed his conjecture, he was afraid that people in the Beijing circle would pull the northwest circle down and die without a fight in the endless arms race.

But…

Now he suddenly discovered something.

That is...From the perspective of movies, the Beijing circle...is not insurmountable.

Because he saw Feng Xiaogang's upper limit.

His ceiling...ends here.

And myself...

Although he didn't dare to be particularly confident, he still felt that he should be able to go further than the other party....

Thinking of this, he couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief.

Um.

That's right.

"According to insiders, Qin Fen and Xiaoxiao officially got married in 2030. At that year, Mr. Qin was already 70 years old. During this period, many erroneous things happened, we will tell you later."

The movie ends.

The ending song starts.

The light turns on.

Yang Mi put on her mask.

finish watching.

She was not in a hurry to leave, but looked at Xu Xin immediately:

"how do you feel?"

"... how do you feel?"

Xu Xin asked back.

The mind is peaceful.

And Yang Mi didn't have any intention of being sick at this time.

Without even noticing that the couple next to her was eavesdropping, she expressed her truest thoughts.

"My feeling is that it took Director Feng 1 hour and 20 minutes to output to me a test paper on marriage and love values that I think is completely off topic. Some places in this test paper are outrageously wrong. In some places, it is barely enough. And these questions add up to a total of 30 points."

"Percentage scale?"

"Well, the percentage system."

Yang Mi nodded firmly.

Xu Xin thought for a while, but he didn't seem to have any opinion, so he just continued to ask:

"And then? In the last 40 minutes, how many points would you give for the happy life full of Wang Shuo's taste?"

"I give full marks to this 40-point essay. I thought Wang Shuo was dead, but he didn't. He is still the best writer in my heart. So, I give full marks!"

There was no other emotion in Yang Mi's eyes.

There are two types.

Fortunately and joy.

Fortunately, Wang Shuo did not die.

Joy that Wang Shuo is still alive.

After hearing this, Xu Xin stood up, motioned his wife to go out, and said:

"That means the total score is 70?"

"Yes. The first half was a mess, but the composition was well written and turned the tide. How about you? How many points do you give?"

"Well…"

Xu Xin thought for a while and said:

"I have no problem with your score, but for the overall evaluation, maybe I will deduct 5 points for the reason that the writing is not neat."

"65?"

"Um."

"…Why?"

"Because, from the director's point of view, its rhythm is fragmented. The front is the collision of marriage and values, and the director is too clear... It can even be said to be the output of personal opinions with private goods. The second half is an abrupt turning point. The concept of happy life and happy death. The sense of separation is too serious, and 5 points will be deducted. But I agree with your point of view. In the end, it was Wang Shuo who turned the tide. Li Xiangshan’s monologue sublimated this movie. Let Qin Fen work hard for more than an hour Turned into useless work...Of course, I don't mean acting skills. I mean artistry."

The two walked in the passage leading to the exit of the theater.

Walking leisurely.

The voices of the discussion were not hidden, they were just chatting in a normal speaking tone.

After walking, Yang Mi instinctively turned her head...

and a couple made eye contact.

The boy and the girl had been staring at her, but when they saw her suddenly turn around, the two of them quickly looked away.

"...?"

Yang Mi glanced at the two of them, but didn't care.

Just after confirming that there are people around, he stopped talking.

Armed with Xu Xin's hand, he said:

"Let's go home, I'm tired."

"good."

Xu Xin nodded.

"It's a pity... I was thinking about taking a group photo."

Looking at the backs of Yang Mi and Xu Xin leaving in front, the girl said with some regret.

But immediately the subject changed, and another sentence came:

"But they look like a good match... Did you hear what they said?"

"Um."

The boy nodded, recalled a bit, and said:

"I think it's quite reasonable. It's really uncomfortable to watch this movie. What did Xu Xin say about that word?"

"Splitting?"

"No, just describe the second half..."

"...live and die happily."

"Yes, yes, this is the first time I've heard this word."

"I think his description is quite correct. And like Yang Mi, I really don't like the sentence that the poor will bully the poor even more after they stand up. It's so annoying..."

"Me too, it doesn't sound good."

"Um…"

The girl responded, and then said:

"Let's go? Let's go eat, I'm hungry... Hehe, today's experience is amazing, I will post a Weibo!"

While speaking, she took out her mobile phone.

Boys don't care either.

The girl lowered her head and wrote cracklingly:

"I ran into Yang Mi and Xu Xin in the movie theater! What a surprise! The two actually came to see "If You Are the One"! But listening to her and Xu Xin's comments, this movie is very average. Feng Xiaogang is not as good as Wang Shuo, um, I I feel right too!"

send.

success.

After posting on Weibo, she happily went to eat while holding her boyfriend's hand.

In the early morning of the 23rd.

Xu Xin yawned lazily and glanced at the time.

00:27.

"Is it coming out?"

Sleepy and dazed Yang Mi asked.

"without…"

Before Xu Xin finished speaking, suddenly, a text message came from his mobile phone.

Yang Mi opened her eyes instantly, and got into his arms:

"how is it going?"

Then she saw the content of the text message.

The text message was sent by Qi Lei.

The content is very simple.

""The Love of the Hawthorn Tree", the box office on the first day: 30.31 million."

"Ah! Thirty million!? Is it as high as "Let the Bullets Fly"?"

Yang Mi's eyes widened in surprise.

But before the words fell, there was another "ding".

""If You Are the One 2", the box office on the first day: 33.75 million."

"..."

The original excitement came to an abrupt end like a duck being strangled by someone.

Lost... lost?

Just as she was about to say something, her husband quickly replied:

"Okay, got it, I have something to say tomorrow, Brother Qi, good night."

After sending, he threw the phone aside.

"Go to sleep?"

"Well…"

Looking at Xu Xin with a calm face, Yang Mi froze for a moment, then nodded:

"good."

So, turn off the lights and go to sleep.

in the dark…

"Lost three million?"

Hearing what his wife said, Xu Xin logically hugged his milk-smelling son in his arms, sniffing the smell of the baby, and replied:

"Um."

"...Are you okay?"

she asked again.

Xu Xin chuckled:

"ha."

No answer.

A literary and artistic film, lost to several big names in the platform, and half of the entertainment industry worked hard to promote a commercial film with a box office of 3 million.

Did you lose?

He doesn't think so.

not to mention…

This is just the beginning.

In fact, the content of these two chapters is the root cause of my caving yesterday.

I have been thinking about whether I design the plot in this way to be regarded as carrying private goods. Because I believe there must be someone who likes to watch "Not 2".

And to tell you the truth, I also liked watching it back then.

But...thirteen years later, when I went back to watch this movie because of writing a book, I suddenly discovered a lot...whether it is a prophecy or a distortion, in short...I don't like it very much, and I can't even accept it. .

It's like smiling hypocritically. And the **** feeling and the "trial marriage" stuff.

I want to write, but I am afraid that readers will think that I am carrying private goods.

If you don't write it...the conflict in the outline can't be reflected.

Therefore, everyone should be able to see that in these two chapters, I praised and disliked, scolded and praised, and tried my best to describe this plot in the fairest way.

Write carefully, like walking on thin ice.

After all, if some words are not handled well, it will become a black area.

Therefore, here I am full of desire to survive, and I would like to say that, first of all, I did not distort any content in the movie, and the plot passages described are all from the original film.

Second, Wang Shuo’s status in Yang Mi’s heart is because I asked several authors, including Yanjing, as well as friends, and college classmates about their cognition. And I am originally from Zhuozhou, which is very close to Yanjing. I have also read Mr. Wang Shuo's book, and tried to describe it with the most authentic readers' feelings.

Third, I apologize to readers who like "Not 2", sorry. If you think it's wrong, take it as the plot of the novel requires, don't take it seriously, I'll give you a hug.
