independent filmmaker

After another week of filming, the filming of the Xuyi scene is over, and the crew of "Rooting" is about to leave.

The interior of the movie will be shot in Beijing.One of Xie Lansheng's classmates is from Bianlishu Township, Beijing. He said that he could lend his home to "Growing Roots" to shoot the interior scenes. Xie Lansheng saw it, and it was more suitable.Xuyi Village has not been connected to electricity, and the grassroots team of "Growing Roots" could not have a generator car, and the interior scenes at night were not very easy to shoot.Coincidentally, the texture of the walls of my classmate's house is very similar to that of Xuyi Village, gray.For these special reasons, Xie Lansheng separated the inner and outer scenes.

Xie Lansheng drank with the village chief Zheng all night, stumbling around, but when he woke up in the morning, he found that his things were almost packed and neatly placed on the ground.

"Hey," Xie Lansheng asked, "Which righteous man helped clean up?" I originally planned to skip breakfast, but now it seems... there is still time.

Assistant Xiaolu replied to Xie Lansheng: "We are the best actor."

"Oh," Xie Lansheng felt miraculous, "I never thought that Xinye would take care of people." He helped him with his laundry before, and now he helps him pack his luggage.

Xinye was talking to Qi Yong when he suddenly heard his name, turned his head to look at Xie Lansheng, and picked out a lazy voice: "Huh?"

"It's okay," Xie Lansheng let Xiaolu go, and said to Xin Ye, "Thank you for helping to pack the luggage. I just told Xiaolu that you are good at taking care of people."

Xinye stared at Xie Lansheng for three or four seconds before saying, "I don't know how to take care of people."

"what?"

Xin Ye said, "I will take care of the pigs."

Xie Lansheng: "???"

Lan Sheng knew that Xin Ye loved to speak irony and use irony, but he didn't know how much he looked like a pig.He realized that Xin Ye hated the comment of "can take care of people", because the other party's tone was inexplicably bad-tempered.

Hey... Xie Lansheng thought, Xin Ye is really weird, and he has become even more nervous this week.Ever since they and Qi Yong came back after repairing the cloud platform, the great film king looked at himself from time to time, and was thoughtful, which made him feel nervous.

Because he wanted to be true, Xie Lansheng and the Xuyi villagers bought a lot of daily necessities before leaving, such as washbasins, towels, toothbrush sets, bed sheets, quilt covers, pillow covers and pillows... After all, Xie Lansheng’s Beidian classmates live around the capital , although the room is relatively dilapidated, life has improved in recent years, and the daily necessities in the house do not quite meet the requirements.

They rolled several big bags and carried them with their own sheets.Xie Lansheng carried the biggest bag, and Xiaolu also carried one.Qi Yong needs to take the camera equipment, Cen Chen needs to take the recording equipment, and the actor who plays the role of "father-in-law" will also help to carry the bag, only Xinye Wanru, the uncle, only pulls his big trolley case.

Xie Lansheng always thinks that the man Xinye is amazing.After a scene, he will immediately dress like the upper class in the movie, which is very cool, no matter what the occasion is.No, even if they knew that they would have to take a donkey cart first, then a passenger car, and then a train, they still wore dark black shirts with a dark fake pocket on the left chest and a belt around their waists. out of place.

Set off in a mighty way.

…………

Xuyi is not far from Beijing. On the second day, the crew of "Growing Roots" moved into the guest house next to Nortel.The guest house is owned by the Patent Office, and it costs 8 yuan per shop, which is cheaper and more convenient.Xie Lansheng negotiated with the front desk, and they only need to pay for one day from 8 o'clock to [-] o'clock the next day.

The crew had to shoot several important scenes in the urban area first, and then went to the classmates' home to complete all the interior scenes of the film.

The content of these few scenes that will be filmed in the urban area is as follows: Caifeng, who was already a little "abnormal", went to the city by chance, but saw her third daughter on the bustling street.The plot here is rather vague. The third daughter was sent away by her husband when she was one or two years old. It stands to reason that the heroine Caifeng would never be able to recognize her at a glance, but in the legend that mother and daughter are connected, she may "feel it".In short, whether what she saw on the street is her daughter or not is not said in the film, nor does it give any hint. The important thing is that Caifeng thinks it is, so she collapses.

Because the little girl was standing on her head to attract attention, with an enamel jar in front of her, begging.And under the enamel jar there was a piece of white paper, on which was written in childish handwriting: [My father is seriously ill in bed...]

After a long while, the girl's arms began to tremble, and finally she couldn't hold on any longer, and she fell down and knocked on the ground.When the girl got up, Caifeng saw that her forehead, cheeks, forearms, and elbows were all covered with wounds, which criss-crossed.Every day she stood on her head, was injured, stood on her head again, and was injured again. The sea of ​​suffering was boundless and she couldn't get out.

Seeing this, she rushed over and was stopped, she yelled, and then a man walked into the venue, picked up the girl and hurried away.

Caifeng has been insane since she returned to her home.

The young actor is from an acrobatic troupe. At the beginning, when Xie Lansheng said that he wanted to make a film, the children raised their hands desperately, without any effort.And a few adults, and the cameraman, sound engineer and other people cameo.

After the filming, everyone was a little depressed.

"Ninny," Xie Lansheng wanted to change the subject, "I've arrived in Beijing, and I'm in the capital. Is there anything else you want to see? I'm going to Lishu Township soon."

"Well," Nannan immediately remembered, and said, "I want to see the flag! Take a look at the raising of the national flag!"

"Flag raising, right?" Xie Lansheng is a native of Beijing. He was organized to watch the national flag raising N times when he was in school, and he is familiar with the time when the flag raising starts in each season. Depart at around [-] o'clock and ride a bicycle to ***. Walk along the West Sea, you should be there in half an hour, just in time for the flag-raising ceremony. Then let's take a stroll, ride back around [-] o'clock, and meet the crew to go to Lishu Township."

"I..." Ouyang Nannan said, "I don't know how to ride a bicycle."

Xie Lansheng said, "I'll carry you."

Ouyang Nannan was finally happy: "OK!"

After setting the itinerary, Xie Lansheng turned his head and asked the other main creators of the film crew: "Xin Ye, Qi Yong, Cen Chen, and Ouyang Nanxi want to see the flag raising, do you want to go?" No need to ask, I must have seen it.

Qi Yong and Cen Chen couldn't even say it, it was too early, only actor Xin, who has always loved pandas, was very interested.Xin Ye prefers to take a taxi, but he is not pretentious. Xie Lansheng said that if you ride a bicycle, everyone will ride a bicycle, and he will also - for the convenience of travel, the entire crew of "Rooting" currently has two bicycles. He pushed it out, and he rode a car and dragged a car back to the set. When he called that night, his mother said that he would kill him.

…………

Just like that, at six o'clock in the morning of the next day, three of Lan Sheng, Xinye and Ouyang Nannan rode two bicycles from the guest house to ***.Xinye is still coquettish, wearing a dark blue shirt, riding on a black "[-]", tall and long-legged, dignified and lazy, everyone around is looking at him.

In the beginning, Xie Lansheng was the one who carried Ouyang's daughter, but when they got to Chang'an Avenue, it was replaced by Xin Ye who took the daughter.

It's just in time to ***.They locked their cars to trees and squeezed into the crowd to watch the national flag being raised.Ouyang Nannan was very excited, her eyes sparkled, she kept saying, "Director Xie, I want to act, I want to come out, I don't want to go back to the countryside again." Her eyes sparkled.

Xie Lansheng just patted her on the head and said: "My daughter, if you want to be an actress, you still have to learn to study. After a few days, you have to go your own way and review what you have learned. After the filming of "Growing Roots", I can't stare at you anymore. You have to push yourself."

Ouyang Nannan nodded vigorously.

A country girl plunges headlong into another life, and she wants to catch it, although many times she can't do anything but resign herself to fate.

A few minutes later, the flag raising ended, and the time was actually very short.Xie Lansheng took Ouyang's daughter around the square again, saw the Chairman's Memorial Hall, the Great Hall of the People, and the Monument to the People's Heroes, and did not return until after eight o'clock.

However, things developed unexpectedly. When they returned to the place where the car was locked, the three of them all found that one of their cars was missing! ! !

Xie Lansheng's car was stolen!

"Damn it..." Xie Lansheng was dumbfounded, "There are three people in one car, how can this be done? Do you want to make bread? Another ten yuan..." In the "taxi" market in Beijing in 1991, "Tianjin University" "Fa" is the main car, and yellow bread can be seen everywhere, and it costs ten yuan for ten kilometers.They will call a Dafa when we go to Lishu Township together tomorrow.

Xin Ye had no idea about money, but at this moment, he had a thought, rejected Xie Lansheng's proposal, and said, "I'll take you away first. If you can't move, then order bread, save yourself."

Xie Lansheng looked at "February [-]" and said with difficulty: "...Xin Ye, are you taking two by yourself? It was agreed in advance that I will not bring two people."

Xin Ye nodded: "Yes."

"No, you grew up in America..."

"I said yes and yes."

"Then... well, my daughter sits on the beam, and I sit in the back seat?"

Xinye said: "No, she's a woman, you can't give or take. She sits in the back seat, you sit on the beam."

"Okay..." Xie Lansheng thought: Will this block the view?Is he really as short as Xin Ye said?Can't it?Neighbors who always wanted to introduce him often praised him for being big and tall.But having said that, since graduation, no one has said to introduce him to someone. He also heard that there are girls who are very lucky that they didn't meet.

Xinye parked the car on the side of the road, supporting the car with one long leg.Xie Lansheng stood on the curb, moved his buttocks, carefully sat on the beam, and adjusted his balance.He felt a little cramped, so he came down, took off his coat and folded it into a butt mat and spread it on top of his head. He went up again, moved around, and felt much better.

Because Beijing was still cold in the morning, he brought a coat, which he didn't need right now.

"Okay, baby girl." Xinye turned her head, "After a while, when you get up to speed, you can gently sit in the back seat."

Ouyang Nannan said: "Understood!"

In fact, Xin Ye had never let anyone sit on his own beam, but because Xie Lansheng had adjusted the balance after putting on the beam, he stepped on it and rode the bike without much effort.

He pinched the brake to slow down, and after a few seconds, Xin Ye felt the car sinking—Ouyang Nannan also came up.

"Wow!" Xie Lansheng was happy, holding the middle of the handlebar with both hands, "Xinye, awesome! You can really take us two!!"

Xinye in front narrowed his eyes.

Xie Lansheng was in his arms.They were facing the morning wind, Xie Lansheng's forehead hair was blown, Xin Ye bowed forward lightly, and let those soft hairs brush his cheeks and the tip of his nose lightly.

Xie Lansheng was wearing a pure white shirt.The wind bulged up the shirt, and Xie Lansheng's waist dangled in it, making people want to hold it.

He really got it too.

At a certain sharp turn, because he was not proficient after all, Xin Ye only felt that the car was tilted and was about to fall, and he cried out inwardly. Then, in a flash, he grabbed Lan Sheng's waist, " Whoosh, he stepped on his long legs, said "jump!", and abandoned the car!

Xie Lansheng was embraced by Xin Ye, and he felt that his people had already stepped from the cross beam to the main road before he realized it.Then there was only a "boom", and the black [-] car crashed to the ground, and at the same time, there was a scream of "ah!"

Ouyang Nannan was smashed down!

"Oh..." Xie Lansheng couldn't see it well, so he hurried over to help the car, pulled her daughter up from the ground, patted her knees, and asked, "Did you get injured?"

"No, it doesn't hurt." After patting her knee together, Ouyang Nannan was very aggrieved and said, "You two ran off by yourself...let me be slapped on the ground by a car..."

But Xin Ye was not guilty, and even looked at Ouyang Nannan with mentally handicapped eyes, and said in an incredible tone: "You blame us? You are the easiest to jump off the first time when you sit in the back seat. That'jump' means giving You listen. Both of us can get down, but you can't get down in the back seat? What's your IQ?"

Ouyang Nannan shut up and thought about it, she felt that Xin Ye was very reasonable and she couldn't refute it at all, and said, "Then, then, let's go on..."

"Well," said Xin Ye, "next time, pay attention to the signal of jumping off the car."

Ouyang Nannan remembered it and was a little nervous: "Okay... But it's best not to jump again." She was afraid that she would react too slowly and fall again.

A car and three of them passed the street, crossed Houhai, and kept walking along the way they came from in the rising sun, as if the road had no end.

She has a lively and cheerful personality, and after a while she became happy again, and said, "Big actor, isn't it tiring to ride like this? And it's also boring! Let me sing you a song! Then you'll be home in no time!"

"Huh?" Xin Ye teased her, "What songs can you sing?"

Ouyang Nannan said: "I'll sing you the theme song "I Don't Want to Tell" from "Alien Girl", okay?"

At this time, the TV series "Foreign Girl", which describes migrant girls in Shenzhen, was becoming popular. The theme song was sung by Yang Yuying, the "Jade Girl" in Golden Boy and Jade Girl. It was played everywhere in the streets and alleys, and Ouyang Nannan also learned it.

Xin Ye smiled: "Okay, you can sing."

"Okay, then I will sing."

After finishing speaking, Ouyang Nannan really started to sing: "I don't want to say, I'm very kind ~ I don't want to say..."

Quite beyond Xinye's expectations, Ouyang Nannan's voice is excellent, soft and delicate, she is a bit like Yang Yuying, who can make people's bones crisp.

Therefore, Xinye and Xie Lansheng didn't interrupt or speak.

It happened that they rode across the West Sea, with the road on one side and the river on the other.The morning sun shone on their faces, and the morning wind blew on them, which smelled like spring.Seeing that he was about to reach the Jimen Bridge, Xin Ye felt a little tired. He pushed hard, and the strong muscles of his thighs stretched his trousers straight and obediently. tip.The sleeves of his dark blue shirt were slightly rolled up in half, a little unruly.And Xie Lansheng sat obediently between Xin Ye's arms, staring straight ahead, holding the middle of the handlebar with both hands, with a smile on his mouth.His shirt was puffed up, and it hit Xinye's chest once and for all.Ouyang Nannan sat in the back seat, swayed her legs gently, and sang a song, her voice was soft and delicate: "But I can't refuse the feeling in my heart~ Look at the lovely sky, touch the real face, how do you feel?" I can understand~~~" "A lot of love, I can refuse~ Many dreams, can be omitted~ But I can't forget your smiling face~~~ Think about the long road, wipe your shoes, no matter what season tomorrow is ~~~"

The car passed by Huitong Temple, and there was a fragrance of flowers floating in the distance. It was a faint fragrance, a little hazy, a little intoxicating.

The sky is blue, the white clouds are thin and light.

Xin Ye rode the bike silently, Lan Sheng looked ahead and was still smiling, Ouyang Nannan had black eyes and was still singing: "The same sky, the same face~ the same I am right in front of you~~~ the same The same road, the same shoes~ I can’t live without you~~~”

"I can't live without you~~~"
