China Entertainment’s rescue plan is hard to come by

Chapter 598: Don’t underestimate [two-in-one]

A window opened in the adobe wall is more appropriately described as a hole than a window.

Dirt was being shoveled out of the window, and someone could be seen working inside.

"Fourth, why don't you come out!"

Outside the screen, a woman with a northwestern accent shouted in a bad tone, asking the people inside to come out quickly. The next second, a donkey appeared from the cave entrance.

Just when the fans were a little surprised, the picture on the screen started to move, as the real fourth child walked out of the house.

Wu Renlin, wearing a shabby sweater with threaded ends and a weather-beaten face, appeared in the camera.

And the donkey that just appeared is his epitome.

"Well, this metaphor is good, but it's a bit straightforward and anyone can understand it."

Jiang Wen leaned on the back of the chair in a very casual posture, tilted his head slightly, looked at the screen, raised his shoulders, rubbed his chin with his fingers, and subconsciously began to analyze in his mind.

In the movie, maybe the two were forced to get married on a blind date at the beginning, but after getting married day and night, Guiying gradually fell in love with this loyal and honest Ma Youtie.

Therefore, although the method is straightforward, it is exactly the effect he wants.

According to Sun Yi's summary, under normal circumstances, as long as Xiao Nizi is not learning acting skills for analyzing movies, she doesn't like to use her brain when watching movies. Moreover, if there is anything she doesn't understand, she will just open her mouth and ask Sun Yi.

Back to the movie, what follows is a blind date dinner that is common in rural areas. Relatives and friends of both men and women gather together to talk about their happy event.

Ma Youtie and Cao Guiying depended on each other, doing farm work together, cooking together, and raising chickens together.

The heroine Cao Guiying also stayed with her brother and sister-in-law since she was a child. She often had not enough to eat and was often beaten and scolded. She suffered from polio, which caused urinary incontinence and infertility.

The first ten minutes of the movie brought a strong depressive atmosphere.

In a blind date dinner, the two people who were supposed to be the protagonists became marginal figures. Instead, their relatives and friends on both sides took the lead in the blind date. There was no blessing or care. These so-called relatives and friends had a certain tone in their words. There was a strong feeling of disgust, as if both families were eager to get rid of their respective baggage.

Although the dinner was filled with delicious food, Ma Youtie only held a bowl of white rice and two steamed buns in his hand. Even so, before he had eaten a few bites, the third brother went out to scold the donkey again and again. "Losing money" made him extremely embarrassed and had to leave the dinner.

Not even looking at Xiao Nizi, who was watching it with great interest.

Through this blind date dinner, the male protagonist Ma Youtie, the fourth child who just appeared, and the female protagonist Cao Guiying, played by Gong Li, both appeared in front of everyone.

Just like that, a wedding photo that didn’t look festive at all was taken.

The two came to the photo studio to take wedding photos. It can be seen from here that they have no feelings for each other at all, and they are not even familiar with each other. The photographer constantly guided their movements and expressions, but there was nothing they could do. Stiff, unable to even squeeze out a smile.

The fact that she didn't speak now proved that she understood it herself.

Guiying was also urged by her family to pee, for fear that she would be incontinent and embarrass them.

In this way, there was no communication, no understanding, and no so-called romance. Two people who were disliked by their respective families came together.

Time passed quickly, 2 hours passed by in the blink of an eye.

It turned out that Ma Youtie was in his forties and had been living in his brother's house. This year, because his nephew was getting married, the bride disliked having such a freeloader in the family, so his third brother was eager to "kick him out of the house."

In fact, when Sun Yi was filming, he had already decided that he wanted to make a film that reflected the people at the bottom. Such a film needs a wide publicity audience, which means that anyone with a mature mind can watch it, even if he is illiterate. Gotta understand. It's not something that's just in the dark and requires film critics to analyze and deconstruct it before people can understand it.

The scene was silent, and only a pair of eyes could be seen reflecting the light on the screen.

This can also be regarded as an occupational disease of directors, just like when some scientists see a sentence written by Brother Shuren, they always want to analyze what it means!
However, Jiang Wen's evaluation of Sun Yi can be considered fair. After all, in the entire Chinese film and television industry, when it comes to using metaphors in movies, his brother would be second best, but no one would dare to be first.

While working, Ma Youtie pressed six wheat grains on Cao Guiying's wrist, printed a flower, and awkwardly added a confession: "I planted a flower for you and made a mark. You can't run away."

The poor native family caused the two to be connected by fate, but their love blossomed in the desert.

In summer, when the weather was hot, Ma Youtie took Guiying to sleep on the roof. Guiying's spine was tilted due to illness. Ma Youtie was afraid that his wife would fall while sleeping in the middle of the night, so he tied a rope to his wife's waistband.

When Ma Youtie tugged at the waistband of Guiying's trousers, she was first surprised, then frightened, and moved again when she learned that the other person was just worried about her falling.

Guiying is unable to have children due to illness, and there is a high probability that she will also have problems with her sexual life. In order to hatch the chicks, Ma Youtie dug many holes in the cardboard box and placed light bulbs inside. After the electricity was turned on, the light shone through the small holes and the light and shadow swayed.

Ma Youtie said to Guiying, "A chick has no mother. Whoever she sees first when she is born is her mother."

As a woman, being infertile is the biggest regret in life. Ma Youtie sees all this carefully and carefully protects his wife's self-esteem. When the chicks hatched, Guiying was their mother.

The life of a good match is that you love me, and I just love you too

Ma Youtie donated blood to the landlord's family in the village without asking for anything in return. Guiying always accompanied him even if he was feeling unwell and motion-sick.

Everyone advised Guiying to go have a meal, but she couldn't bear to worry about Youtie. No matter how good the delicacies were, she couldn't swallow them. She just stayed with Youtie silently in the blood donation car. When she saw that he was feeling uncomfortable, she immediately called the nurse.

The love between the two finally went from strangers to mutual dependence. Although life was difficult, it still bloomed with beauty.

However, the good times did not last long. Just when the two of them were living better day by day, Guiying died.

It happened that at this time, the house was built, the wheat was ripe, and the chickens had grown up, but the mistress left forever.

Ma Youtie let go of the donkey, sold grain, settled all the debts he had made on credit, and paid back the eggs he borrowed from his neighbors. When he returned home, he ate for the first time the eggs that he had been reluctant to eat before, just for the sake of it. Suppress the bitterness of pesticides.

There was already a suppressed cry from the scene, and Liu Yifei was secretly wiping the circles under her eyes. This was not the first time she had watched this movie. She had watched it many times before when it was screened in Cannes, but she still remembered it. I was affected by the tragic love between Ma Youtie and Cao Guiying in the movie.

Many movie fans are still immersed in the movie and cannot extricate themselves.

The premiere was clearly a success.

Sun Yi returned to the stage with the main creative staff, and the applause from the scene burst out loudly and lasted for a long time.

A reporter started asking questions.

"Teacher Gong Li, first of all, thank you very much for allowing us to see such a wonderful performance in the movie. I would like to ask, you have played many roles of the same type of rural only daughter before, so what is Guiying this time for you? , is there any difference, or in other words, why can you gain widespread recognition with this role this time?" The reporter asked tactfully, but actually wanted to know why Gong Li won the Best Actress at Cannes for this role.

"Yes, I have indeed played many roles of rural women, but Guiying is different from before. She is kind-hearted. Even though she had a miserable first half of her life, she is still full of hope for life. If most of my previous roles are If you prefer to be outgoing and explosive, then Guiying’s character is extremely restrained.”

"This is also a breakthrough for me personally."

Gong Li's answer won a round of applause from the audience.

The topic also turned to Wu Renlin who was standing aside. This time it was a fan who asked a question.

"Teacher Wu, we are very curious about what made you perform so well in a movie for the first time. When I saw your horse has iron, I really felt a pang in my heart."

The eyes of the movie fans in the audience were all cast on Wu Renlin. Obviously, everyone was very curious.

Wu Renlin wiped the sweat from his forehead and answered with some stumbling:

"Well, I'm not sure about this. It should be because Director Sun Yi paid special attention to me. He told me what to do. I...I just followed what the director said."

Although he also went to Cannes and experienced several big scenes, he still couldn't let go at this time.

At this time, Sun Yi took the microphone and explained to the audience.

"Actually, everyone may have complicated thoughts on this. I think the most fundamental reason is that Uncle Wu plays himself."

At this time, everyone in the audience suddenly realized.

Yes, only by truly experiencing the hard life of the working people at the bottom can we play this role vividly.

The host chose the last fan.

Yang Anan was lucky enough to be asked a question.

She was in the same state as Liu Yifei just now, with red eyes, and asked Sun Yi for a soul blow.

"Director Sun Yi, why did you arrange for Guiying and Youtie to pass away? Why did you arrange a tragic ending? They are obviously suffering so much, why can't you let them experience the happiness of life?"

Well.
Sun Yi rubbed his nose awkwardly. It was obvious that this question was very emotional and made it difficult for him to answer.

Liu Yifei, who was sitting in the audience, looked at Sun Yi's embarrassed look and narrowed her eyes happily, feeling a different kind of relief in her heart.

You deserve to make people cry every day.
"Well, from the director's point of view, tragedies are often more shocking. Because people's hearts are soft, and only unforgettable sadness can sting it, and then the heart will remember the pain, and you will also remember it. this movie.”

"From the essence of film art, as Mr. Lu Xun said, 'Tragedy is tearing beautiful things to pieces and showing them to others.' It is closer to the original appearance of life and more touching."

"There is often not so much beauty in reality, just like in love, no one will really wait for someone, and there are not so many coincidences and things that are taken for granted. Movies first create what people yearn for, satisfy people's fantasies a little bit, and then slowly disintegrate it. In the end, everything must return to life and return to its original state."

Zhang Yimou was sitting in the front row watching Sun Yi talk on the stage.

He, who already had a grimace on his face, was frowning deeply at this moment.

This young man should not be underestimated.

I have a very deep understanding of the core of the movie.

He thought about the previous competition between "Three Guns" and "Wings in the Sky", where he was completely defeated by Sun Yi, both in terms of box office and reputation.

At that time, it could be said that the movie "Three Guns" was not made according to his original intention at all, otherwise, it would never be like that.

But now that he has finished watching "Into the Dust", he is silent.

At today's premiere, his original idea was to congratulate Gong Li and use his own way to expand publicity for the film that brought her the Best Winner at Cannes.

After all, it was a pity that he didn't win the Best Actress at Cannes after they met each other.

But before setting off, Zhang Weiping found him again and asked him to take Ni Ni with him.

He knew that this was an old friend who wanted to maximize the use of publicity resources.

Originally he disapproved in his heart, but Zhang Weiping said, "Yi, we lost "Three Guns". Your "Hawthorn Tree Love" is another purely literary film, and it will definitely not be able to beat Sun Yi at the box office. , let's just point to "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" to win back the game. You have used a newcomer Ni Ni, and you can't give up any publicity opportunity at this time. "He couldn't refute it.

He has been famous for many years and has his own pride in his heart.

Why would I want to choose a Hollywood leading actor for a movie, when the other party has a schedule and a salary, and has to read the script first and reserve the right to make changes, while a young man like Sun Yi can cast a top Hollywood actor in just one movie? Leonardo wants to cooperate even if his salary is reduced.

If he wants to prove that his sword is still young, he will watch the next movie "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling".

Therefore, he brought his new heroine Ni Ni here, regardless of whether Gong Li treats him well or not.

But after watching Sun Yi's "Into the Dust" on the spot, he had to fall into deep thought.

This movie is so simple.

It depicts rural life in the northwest from multiple angles and levels.

Authentic and unvarnished.

In the movie, the two miserable people, Ma Youtie and Cao Guiying, met each other in the darkness and became each other's light. They redeemed each other, supported each other, and the emotional portrayal of each other was even more unforgettable.

At the same time, the movie is also very ironic. The well-dressed richest man not only owed the villagers money for selling grain, but also asked the villagers to donate blood for free, vividly showing the exploitation of the lower-class farmers in reality.

The phrase "the offspring is fearful" can no longer be used to describe Sun Yi.

Zhang Yimou even felt the same feeling he had when he finished filming "Alive", full of challenges, excitement and excitement.

Sun Yi didn't want to know what Zhang Guoshi was thinking. What he was most concerned about at the moment was the movie's box office and reputation.
