You can't imagine the happiness of the group performance

Chapter 406 "The Mountain, That Man, That Dog"
"My life as a rural postman started from a very ordinary morning."

Accompanied by the quiet background music and Jiang Yan's narration, "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog" slowly unfolded in front of the audience.

On the big screen, the sky is still a little dark, and the mountains, houses, rivers, and fields are still shrouded in fog.

The family in the post office has gotten up early, and "father" is packing the postal packages.

Although the "son" packed it up yesterday, the "father" took it out again.

He thought that this was the child's first time as a postman in the village, so he drew a map for him.

It is not so easy to be a rural postman.

A small map marked a few places, but explained in the words of "Father", it was:

"It takes 220 miles to go back and forth, and you have to stand for three days, with two nights in between."

"Son" said confidently: "I know, you come and go, why don't I know."

Father didn't say anything, but continued to point to the map and explain the details:

"On the first day, you have to walk eighty miles up the mountain road and cross Tianche Ridge..."

It is not an easy task for anyone to go up and down the mountain road at least eighty miles a day, plus tens of kilograms of postal parcels.

But the son still confidently said: "If I had walked more on the first day, I might be able to come back in two days."

When the father heard the words, he tilted his head and taught: "If you do it well, it won't be a day or two, three times or five times..."

The son interrupted: "I know."

My father continued to tell me that the postman's job looked simple, but it was not easy in reality. If you really do it, you won't feel tired.

But the son didn't reject it at all, and instead put on his father's old uniform hat. In his words, the rural postman is still a state cadre, at least it is better than going to the city to work.

In fact, the rural postman was his father's career, and he took over his job voluntarily.

After packing up, the son walked to the door, and he was about to carry the heavy postal bag on his back and set off on the road.

In front of him came a wolfhound named "Second Brother", who was his father's old partner on the postal road.

My son told him to go with him, and he couldn't do without him on the way to deliver the mail, not to mention it was his first time.

But the "second child" is close to his father, no matter how his father persuades him, he is indifferent.

So my father went back to the house and changed his clothes, and decided to go on the road together.

After leaving the house, the son turned his head and exhorted his mother loudly:

"Mom, if you need anything, just ask Xu Wanchang, I've entrusted him."

"Mom, you go back."

The son told his mother step by step, and the father and son left, and only the mother was left at home, so the son was naturally worried.

But my father was a little jealous at the moment:

"Mom, damn it, call me dear!"

At this point in the film, the audience will know the background of the film.

His father retired, and Jiang Yan took over his father's shift. Since it was the first time to go to work, the two had no choice but to go together.

The reason for this is because of the "unfamiliarity between father and son" that is visible to the naked eye.

And this is also explained in the next shot.

Rural path in the mist.

The composition of mountains, people, and dogs is beautiful, but the dog is in the front, the son is in the middle, and the father landed a little far away.

It can be seen that the son is not used to walking with his father.

And this also made many viewers feel deeply.

Indeed, in Chinese society, the relationship between father and son is always so strange.

It is normal for people not to be called "Dad" and not to be close to "Dad".

But if you really say "not close", that's not necessarily true, it's just that this kind of feeling is not easy to express.

And the opening chapter of "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog" seems to let the audience know that this film expresses this kind of emotion.

In addition to the content of the film, the scenery, actors and the rhythm of the film unfolding slowly like a scroll also made many people really settle down and watch it.

Of course, there are also many non-movie fans, they just want to watch Jiang Yan.

And Jiang Yan's rustic but full of aura of the mountain village boy in the film shocked all Jiang Yan fans.

I'm used to seeing the glamorous Jiang Yan under the spotlight, but now seeing Jiang Yan who looks like the big brother next door in his hometown, this feeling is really novel.

And this kind of feeling can be summed up in professional words: the actor's role shaping ability is strong.

Many film critics have silently written comments at this time.

Before this, Jiang Yan had only created two complete images in film and television dramas, one is Bao Zheng who is funny and serious, and the other is the cool and gentle gentleman Hua Wuque.

The span between the two roles is actually very large, but this is not good for a handsome actor. The expressiveness of acting skills will be covered up by the appearance.

However, this situation did not have much impact on Jiang Yan.

Bao Zheng and Hua Wuque, to be honest, Jiang Yan’s portrayal is quite successful, so few people say that Jiang Yan’s playing Bao Zheng is just blacking out, and playing Hua Wuque is just being handsome. A generation of commentators said that Jiang Yan is likely to be shortlisted for next year's various TV drama awards.

But Jiang Yan is handsome after all, and he is a pop singer. In addition, he has created few characters and has low qualifications. Therefore, although the critics approve of "Jiang Yan's acting skills", they will definitely not take the initiative to discuss it.

In addition, when it comes to discussing Jiang Yan's acting skills, in fact Jiang Yan's many cameo and group roles are more worthy of discussion.

But in the same way, Jiang Yan is a singer, and the addition of guest roles and extra roles is not a complete role, so the threshold for entering the eyes of critics is very high.

But now, when Jiang Yan once again created a "mountain village boy" who is completely different from Bao Zheng and Hua Wuque, and this mountain village boy is not in any way awkward in the face of the old drama bone Teng Rujun, so many film critics are thinking, Jiang Yan Maybe this film can really win an award.

And the pressure on other niche students is great.

It's just a pity that he is a supporting role in this film. . .

. . . . . .

The film continued, the mountain road was difficult to walk, the father reminded him to walk slowly from time to time, but the son felt that he was underestimated, so he held back his strength and decided that as long as his father did not cry tired, he would never cry tired.

So holding their breath like this, the two walked a long way.

Finally, when the son was sweating profusely, the father proposed to rest on a hillside.

The son pretended that he still had energy, and put down his backpack as if nothing had happened.

After sitting down, the father and son asked each other "are you tired?"

The son suddenly felt happy, because it was rare for him to have such a tacit understanding with his father.

It's just that his father had a bitter look on his face. He used to walk on the postal road with a bag on his back, but now he has empty shoulders, and he is so uncomfortable walking.

My father has been running around all year round, and his legs and feet have some problems. He has been treated for a long time, but it always doesn't work.

The son thought that he was worried that he would not be able to continue to treat illnesses after retirement, but in fact, the father just wanted to continue working after his legs and feet were healed, and he didn't need his children to suffer so much.

The son naturally didn't know what his father was thinking, so he said to his father, "Go back, I can do it alone."

But the father didn't pay attention to it, and just greeted the second child to continue on his way.

So the two continued their journey. The son wanted to talk to his father about something, but he didn't know what to say.

He recalled that when he was a child, other children envied him because his father was often away, so he was different from other children and was rarely beaten.

But in fact, the son feels strange and afraid of his father.

Whenever his father came back, he would always play outside until very late before coming home.

It's not that I don't want him, and I can't tell what I'm afraid of.

So much so that from childhood to adulthood, even "Dad" was seldom called.

This kind of stubbornness and complex emotions also made many viewers empathize.

Isn't it the same with my relationship with my father now, or when I was young?

The father's care is regarded as underestimating, and the father's teaching is regarded as incomprehension.

In many cases, the relationship between father and son is that this kind of dialogue that is not on the same channel gradually drifts away. Only after certain special events will they truly reveal their hearts to each other again.

And the one who touched me the most was Kazuo Fukasawa, the neon man next to Jiang Yan. At this moment, he has already fallen into the father-son relationship with oriental characteristics in the film, and he can see a little moisture in his eyes.

And although Jiang Yan didn't know the difference between Nihong people and Huaxia people's sense of this kind of father-son relationship, but at the moment he only felt that the matter was basically not a big problem.
