Chapter 408 [Farewell Ceremony]

2024, early spring.

Although the crew has been very low-key from the beginning, director Zeng Sheng and Zhiguo's younger brother Bao Shiyi have collaborated again, and news about the film has been endless.

Especially the fans of Bao Shiyi found out that Bao Shiyi was no longer as eager to write stories as before, and Liucheng Publishing House had no news about Bao Shiyi’s new book. Yi Bao Shiyi came out with the news of a new movie, and he is cooperating with director Zeng Sheng again, which makes netizens look forward to it even more.

For the opening ceremony of the movie "The Undertaker", many reporters and media came, but just as the news media reported, just the name of the movie "The Undertaker" already made netizens guess that the story was about the Undertaker, about death. story.

Such a heavy and sad topic is obviously the story that Bao Shiyi, a master of tragedy, is good at.

"Eleventh, the story of "The Undertaker" is written by you as the screenwriter, and you are also the lead actor now. Netizens say that this story will definitely be another tragedy, what do you mean?"

Bao Shiyi was not surprised by the question raised by the reporter.

Zeng Sheng, who was sitting next to Bao Shiyi, turned his head to look at Bao Shiyi. In fact, he had talked with Bao Shiyi about the movie "The Undertaker" before this.

Because Bao Shiyi is the screenwriter of this movie and also the leading actor of this movie, although Zeng Sheng has his own ideas in his heart as the director, he also hopes to know Bao Shiyi's views on the shooting of this movie.

Bao Shiyi held the microphone, looked at the reporter, smiled, and said: ""The Undertaker" is about a profession. This profession can be scary, but it is also a sacred profession. Those who are separated from their loved ones People can see their most beautiful last side, which is what the undertaker needs to do, to treat a dead body with the respect and etiquette that treats people."

"As for what this movie is about, I think you will know when the movie is released and go to the cinema. Everyone should have different feelings after watching it."

Zeng Sheng accepted Bao Shiyi's words and said with a smile: "What I want to say is that death here is no longer cold and terrifying, but peaceful, peaceful, gentle and beautiful. That's why I took this film. The reason for the movie."

Hearing Zeng Sheng's words, Bao Shixi couldn't help shaking his head in his heart. He wrote this script because of his neurotic system. In his view, death is death, and the so-called tenderness and beauty are all after death.

For the man who died, it was just cold.

The media reporters interviewed the main creators of the film, and then the film officially started shooting.

As for the curiosity and doubts of netizens and the media, we will know when the movie is released.

……

Because it is an old team, they are all acquaintances, and the partners are very familiar with shooting, so it doesn't take much time to integrate.

Behind the monitor, Zeng Sheng looked at Bao Shiyi on the screen, who was playing the cello in the field.

The moment the sound sounded, the entire set gradually fell silent.

Although the crew should have been quiet when the filming started, the quietness now is different from the quietness in the past.

Bao Shiyi was sitting on the field, with the field in early spring behind him, the green field, and the cello in his hand was playing slowly.

The tune sounded soft, serene, and steady.It was that quietness and softness that surprised everyone present.

Although they knew that Bao Shiyi had already been learning the cello before the filming started, and that Bao Shiyi had always been very talented in music, but this scene did not actually need live radio because there will be dubbing later, that is to say, Bao Shiyi Eleven only needs a simple performance, and in terms of movement and fingering, it is enough to shoot from an angle.

But now, when Bao Shiyi is playing the cello, the sound is slowly flowing out. In that field, everything seems to have disappeared. Everyone stopped and stood where they were, just watching, listening, and listening. ...

Under the sound of the thick and deep instrument that is closest to the human voice, it seems like the saddest sound of nature.

On the desolate green field, Bao Shiyi closed his eyes slightly, and played slowly with tender emotions, so beautiful, so quiet, peaceful, accompanied by his own low breathing, the people around him Everything is so slow that time is forgotten.

At that moment, it reached the softest part of my heart, as if saying goodbye, as if telling death, as if a man's whispering, confiding, deep but so euphemistic.

For some reason, Zeng Sheng, who was sitting behind the monitor, sat up straight at that moment, staring straight at Bao Shili in the camera, looking at that person's eyes, listening to that person's performance, and listening to that person's performance. He seemed to hear something in the voice.

That's what he and Bao Shili said when discussing the movie.

"Everyone walks alone on his own journey."

"The mortician is the gatekeeper of the funeral parlor. He sent one person after another to leave this world alone. He said to these souls, be careful on the road, and we will see each other again."

"The journey of life was originally composed of countless farewells. From the moment everyone came to the world, they kept saying goodbye to the people in the world. The hearts of the dead stopped crying, and life quietly passed away instead of withering. It just takes the pain of the living and turns it into a long-lasting guardian in memory."

For some reason, listening to Bao Shili's cello performance, the eye circles of the people around were reddened, and the unspeakable sadness came out like that, silently sad.They all know this movie and what story this story is about. It is precisely because they know that listening to this piece of music, they feel more sad inside and more depressed than they can express it. They can only cover their mouths and let their Inexplicable tears flowed down.

"The living are passers-by, and the dead are returning home. Decades are just a glimpse, director, what do you think?"

Zeng Sheng watched, with tears in his red eyes, and the line in the script, the line that moved his heart, couldn't help appearing in his mind——

"We will always encounter the pain of leaving our loved ones in our lives. It may be a breakup or death. Even if we are prepared for this, we will not be able to bear it. The only education that human beings should receive is how to deal with this pain, but never No one taught me, we all alone suffer in silence, grope in silence, despair in silence."

The sound of the music gradually, slowly and silently...

"This may be my last movie. Think how time flies, director, do you still remember "The Melting Pot"? It was my first film, and I have always kept that photo."

In a daze, Zeng Sheng remembered the portrait that Bao Shiyi was holding in his hand before.

On the black and white portrait is Minsu with a bright smile on his face.

Bright, smiling eyes of a teenager.

That was 15-year-old Bao Shili.
