My artist wants to quit the entertainment industry every day

Chapter 101 The script of Farewell My Concubine was released, buried alive and shortlisted for Cannes

This is a small town in the south.

When I got here, the rapeseed flowers all over the mountains were blooming like fire.

This is the filming location of "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog", which was finally selected by director Huo Jianqi and his director team after repeated screening and traveling all over the country.

Picked here because it fits perfectly with the film's two qualities.

One is beauty. When Chi Yu came here, he immediately fell in love with the suffocating beauty.

The second is that it still retains the original local flavor, and the local flavor that blows your face.

The car was driving in the rapeseed field, and the wind blowing in front of me was full of the fragrance of flowers.

A song suddenly sounded in Chi Yu's mind: Jiumei Jiumei's beautiful sister, Jiumei Jiumei's rosy bud, Jiumei Jiumei's cute sister, Jiumei Jiumei my Jiumei.

baffling.

But it was brainwashed all the way.

"I said, can you stop singing? If you keep on singing, my mind will be full of Jiumei!" Lao Chen, who was driving, couldn't take it anymore.

"..."

Chi Yu was a little embarrassed, I thought he was singing it in his heart.

When we arrived at the place, we met director Huo Jianqi, including Luo Jingmin who played the father, who played the wolf dog of the second child.

However, the rest of the crew, as well as other actors, have not yet arrived.

"Xiao Yu, this is our screenwriter, Aunt Siyuan." Huo Jianqi introduced Chi Yu to the screenwriter of "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog", who is also his wife.

Yes, this movie, strictly speaking, is a husband and wife team.

"The young man is too energetic." Siyuan said with a smile, a little worried.

"It's okay, let him stay here for ten days and half a month, and he will become a person here."

Huo Jianqi was not worried at all, he said to Chi Yu: "I asked you and Lao Luo to come here early, just to let you, Lao Luo, and this dog stay together for a while longer to get rid of the smell in the city."

This is his shooting technique.

Actors experience life first, truly integrate themselves into this landscape, and then shoot, which can often achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Afterwards, Huo Jianqi and Siyuan left first as if they had come here for a tour.

As for Chi Yu and Luo Jingmin, they stayed.

This stay is one week.

A week later, the big team of the crew came.

Tao Huimin, who plays the mother, and a girl with a little emotional drama, Song Tie.

A pretty girl, she must be called such a solid name.

Of course, there are some other secondary characters, including the young father and young mother, and others, such as the village secretary, the fifth wife, and other people on the road, also arrived.

These people are basically a two-player game.

At the same time, Su Aifei and Lao Zhao also came.

"Fuck! Are you old?"

When Lao Zhao saw Chi Yu again, he couldn't recognize him: "If you meet him in Fangcun, I really think you are a villager, and you are from the last century!"

Chi Yu smiled, but didn't speak.

Su Aifei frowned: "How many times has it been dark? Can you raise it after filming?"

Chi Yu didn't speak, just dipped his fingers in the leaves, and then rubbed his arms, revealing a small piece of light-colored skin.

Although it is still not as white as before, it is not as dark as it is.

"No way? Old Chi, don't tell me, you haven't taken a bath this week?" Old Zhao was dumbfounded, and wanted to rub it.

Chi Yu avoided it and just smiled.

"Old Chi, you're not going to be sick, are you? Why can't you talk anymore?" Old Zhao asked quickly, seeing that something was wrong.

"Role requirements." Luo Jingmin said next to him.

"You don't know how to speak anymore." Chi Yu finally said a word, but it was completely different from his usual way of speaking, slowly, as if he had just learned to speak.

Huo Jianqi is very satisfied with Chi Yu's state, he feels that the movie is almost half successful.

The next day, on a misty morning, "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog" was launched in an old but not dilapidated, cozy yard.

"That mountain, that person, that dog, the first scene, the first shot, the first time, let's start!"

With the recording of the scene, the filming of "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog" officially started.

In the house, the father played by Luo Jingmin is preparing the package, sorting different letters and newspapers into categories, and then putting them into the package.

Chi Yu picked up a hat, which was the hat of a rural postman. Facing the mirror, his face showed the excitement of being a rural postman.

Keep shooting.

Until Huo Jianqi called to stop.

Said some small problems, and then did it again.

After three passes, the first shot is complete.

"I'll just say it's ok. If it wasn't for the slight flaws in the first pass, this shot will be enough." Huo Jianqi said to Si Yuan next to him.

"I didn't expect that in a week, he would completely transform himself into a young man from the countryside! If this kind of actor can't be popular, it would be too much for God!"

When Si Yuan saw Chi Yu again yesterday, she was already full of disbelief.

After the first scene was shot, her heart became even more turbulent.

"Why is it not popular? Now Xiao Yu is very popular." Huo Jianqi said, and then continued to shoot the next shot.

"That Mountain, That Man, That Dog" is a bit of a documentary-style movie. There are not many lines, and the scene changes, but it doesn't need too much pretense at all, and everything reflects the four words of rural flavor.

In addition, the two main actors have already integrated into the characters, so the filming went extremely smoothly.

The first day of shooting ended most of the scenes at home.

Then the next day, I first completed the scenes of several mothers standing on the bridge, waiting for the father who delivered the letter to come back, including the changes from the young mother to the middle-aged mother, and the picture of the son when he was a child.

Then I finished filming the rest of the scenes at home.

On the third day, start the journey.

The following days were spent walking on mountain roads and delivering letters.

Along the way, he read the letter to the blind fifth wife, met a beautiful and generous girl, and ran into a local wedding. The father introduced his son to those people and told them that the letter would be delivered by his son in the future.

A flat drama.

All the feelings are so delicate that as long as you calm down and look at them, you can feel them, because they are so, just like your daily life.

Neither the director nor the screenwriter deliberately created emotional conflict points.

It didn't say that sensational tears were added to the plot of reading the letter to the blind fifth wife.

The father read the letter as usual, and the fifth wife listened to the letter as usual, carefully listening to every word, and then responded, whether it was carefully touching the money and the envelope, or smiling and saying, "How many times have I asked?" , are just right.

This scene had a big impact on Chi Yu.

Whether it is as a son, it is the first time he knows that what his father does is so ordinary, but so great.

Or as an audience, he knew that the fifth wife's eyes were blinded by crying because she missed her son and grandson, but he didn't know if this old man could wait for his son and grandson.

Still as an actor, he found that the performances of Luo Jingmin and the fifth woman were too real.

At that moment, he really felt that he was not in the play, but watching a real human story.

This idea made him play.

And this time playing in the play made Chi Yu seem to have enlightened.

In the next play, he and Luo Jingmin's performance can even be said to be living in the role rather than acting.

A retired postman who looks like he's been delivering letters all his life.

One looks like a novice township postman who just took over his father's job with novelty and bewilderment.

Along the way, the barrier between father and son gradually dissipated.

Along the way, the dog never paid much attention to his son, and gradually became his son's old partner on the way to deliver letters.

In this way, more than 20 days have passed.

Then "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog" came to an end.

In addition to experiencing life, until the end of the drama, counting the time, it is one month away, one day away.

Not really anytime soon.

Speaking of it, most of the filming time of the script was actually wasted, oh, it should be said that it was spent on Huo Jianqi wanting to find better weather, such as sunrise, sunset, and better scenery, such as bridges and creeks , rape flower fields, rice fields.

Although there is no post-production yet, after seeing some of the filming footage, Chi Yu once again confirmed that Huo Jianqi is not so much making a movie as he is making a documentary film of old times.

"Xiao Yu, Xiao Zhao, after making this movie, my long-cherished wish for many years has finally come true." The finale banquet was held in the capital.

The production team was not big in the first place, and not many people came to the finale banquet.

The girl named Song Tie is here.

Speaking of which, apart from Chi Yu and Luo Jingmin, in this drama, other people's roles are too small, basically just a few scenes, including the role of the mother.

Regarding Huo Jianqi's words, what can Chi Yu say?
You can't just say that you are happy.

He smiled and said, "Actually, I gained a lot from making this movie. Especially with Uncle Luo, I learned a lot."

"Hey, what can I learn from you?" Luo Jingmin waved his hand.

"In this drama, Xiao Yu's early performance was still a bit jerky, but because his image fits the character so well, it didn't affect him."

Huo Jianqi nodded, and he said: "But in the later stage, especially after the scene where I remember reading the letter, he seemed to become transparent all of a sudden, which completely made me feel that he is that character, not in the play!"

Chi Yu fell into memory, he didn't realize it.

After the finale banquet, Chi Yu had to retreat for a period of time.

While reading the novel "Farewell My Concubine", I raised it.

"At least, wait until you get your skin back before going out to shoot magazine advertisements."

Su Aifei looked at Chi Yu's dark skin even after washing it, and said helplessly, "I don't want you to become a black fish before you have gone far on the road of white fish." .”

"..." This mouth is too poisonous.

However, his retreat lasted less than half a month before he was forced to leave the retreat.

First of all, after half a year, Chen Wuji's script was finally produced.

It is completely within the time node he mentioned, as fast as two or three months, and as slow as a year and a half.

After reading the script, Chi Yu became even more interested.

This is a script that uses Hollywood's classic narrative mode to express poetry, which has Chen Wuji's characteristics, but at the same time, it is a script that focuses entirely on the plot and does not deviate in the end.

Although the setting of the role is completely different from his experience when he was Chi's boss, for example, he didn't recognize any gender barriers at that time.

Maybe it's because he hasn't reached the point where he can't live without being crazy.

But Su Aifei expressed concern: "Chi Yu, do you think this movie will affect your future personality? I know that Brokeback Mountain filmed by Li An seems to be one of the male protagonists in it, and then committed suicide. .”

"..."

Chi Yu was speechless.

"That's Heath Ledger. He, how should I put it, died of acute drug poisoning because of severe depression and taking too much medicine."

Lao Zhao explained: "So strictly speaking, he died for survival, not suicide."

Su Aifei didn't say anything in the end, after all, even if she disagreed, she didn't dare to refuse Chen Wuji's play in a daze.

After all, it was Chen Wuji, a great director who was able to shoot amazing pictures that most directors couldn't shoot even if the plot was not very good.

Indeed, Chi Yu watched Chen Wuji's previous movies these few days, and many of them were inexplicable.

For example, "Walking and Watching".

When I saw it, it was a white cloth pulled in a courtyard.

After watching it, Chi Yu turned his head and said to Lao Zhao, "I was thinking while watching, but in the end I didn't understand what the movie was about."

Old Zhao also smiled: "I was watching while sleeping."

On the side, Lao Chen was already snoring.

Based on these, they further confirmed the evaluation of Chen Wuji from the outside world. He has first-class literary quality, first-class director talent, and script creation ability, which is really not good.

Besides, the script of "Farewell My Concubine" in hand now is written by Lu Wei.

Lu Wei is still very good in the domestic screenwriting circle. He is the screenwriter of Zhang Guoshi's "To Live".

So there is a screenwriter, and both Chi Yu and Lao Zhao feel that if Chen Wuji's film has a screenwriter, most of the film will be successful, and it won't end in mixed reviews.

After reading the script, Chi Yu met with Chen Wuji and screenwriter Lu Wei.

One will be a director, one will be an editor, and one will be an actor, so the three men have a good chat.

Lu Wei praised Chen Wuji's vision in casting roles, Chi Yu praised Lu Wei's screenwriting skills, and Chen Wuji praised Chi Yu's meticulous attention to details of actors.

"Chi Yu, by the way, I gave you the book, but I haven't asked you yet. Leaving aside the final script, what do you think of this novel?" Chen Wuji asked suddenly.

Chi Yu directly expressed his true thoughts: "To be honest, it can't be called a literary work. Like Zhang Fangsong and Zhang Liangjing, the love between men and women throughout the story is more like an old drama."

When Chen Wuji and Lu Wei heard this, they both laughed.

When Chi Yu was puzzled, Chen Wuji said: "After I showed Lu Wei the novel, what do you think he thought of it?"

Chi Yu naturally shook his head.

Lu Wei said: "I said, this is a second-rate novel. The whole story is full of love between men and women, and the structure is not big."

Chen Wuji smiled and said: "I said at the time that his evaluation was too high. In my opinion, this is just a third-rate novel."

After the three of them looked at each other, they laughed.

It's a bit of a feeling that heroes see the same thing.

I just don't know if Ms. Li Bihua, the original author of "Farewell My Concubine", heard the evaluation of the three people, would she get angry and stop filming?

Of course it is impossible, after all, the copyright has already been bought.

Afterwards, it was time to talk about the start of filming. Of course, these cannot be decided by the three of them sitting here drinking tea.

Just when "Farewell My Concubine" was preparing to start filming, news came from the Cannes International Film Festival.

"Buried Alive" was shortlisted for the main competition!
And it is said that there is a high probability of winning important awards!
