independent filmmaker

The next morning, "Consummation" started on time.

After Xiaoxiang's roommate left, Xie Lansheng talked with Liu Yao, and everything went on as usual.He asked Liu Yao if he was ready and if he would be affected by the divorce, and Liu Yao said firmly: "I just want to play this role" "I will do my best" "I know my talent is limited, but I hope to leave a Classic", Xie Lansheng also felt relieved, telling her not to put too much pressure on her.He also decided to talk more in the future to make her happy.

Executive director Yu Qianzi held the opening ceremony on the set, covered the camera with red silk, placed meat and wine to worship the gods, and even put up a big banner saying "The movie "Consummation" has a good start".Xie Lansheng didn't want to do it at first, and thought it was absurd, but Yu Qianzi said to him: "Director Xie, there are dozens of people in our group, you can't just consider whether you don't believe it, you also have to consider believing it." Xie Lansheng thought it was reasonable , I also went to speak a few words in person, so that everyone had a full breakfast and was ready to start work.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the filming officially started.

"Cai Kuan" and "Lang Ying" used letters to tell each other their hearts after they got acquainted.After getting to know each other, Lang Ying, who was doing research, needed to go on a business trip for a while, only to realize that she missed him terribly.

"Okay," Xie Lansheng said after two shots, "Xinye's handwriting is ugly, so Yu Qianzi took close-ups of his hands." Xie Lansheng had seen Xinye's handwriting four years ago, so he couldn't be included in the shot. He had seen it before. Yu Qianzi had copied the lyrics in a small notebook, and thought it was good, and the shape of their hands was more similar.Directors can take pictures and draw pictures, and many of them have a good handwriting.

Yu Qianzi: "Huh?"

Xie Lansheng said: "Xin Ye was born in the United States."

Yu Qianzi suddenly realized: "Oh!!"

Xin Ye was still sitting at the table, but suddenly raised his eyes and said, "Hand substitute...should not be used."

Xie Lansheng: "Huh?"

Xin Ye held the pen in his hand, which was blue and black, and wrote on the paper what Lang Ying wrote to Cai Kuan in the script: [Cai Kuan, last night...]

Xie Lansheng looked at it and was stunned.

The words written by Xinye's hands are completely different from those four years ago!

The pen is strong and expressive, although it is slightly scribbled and uninhibited, a little flamboyant.

"Here," Xie Lansheng asked, "have you practiced calligraphy in the United States? The copybook you practiced? Pang Zhonghua?"

Xin Ye paused at the tip of the pen in his hand: "I didn't practice on purpose."

"???" Didn't practice deliberately to write like this?

It was not easy to chat on the set, so Xie Lansheng didn't ask any more questions. He looked up at the executive director Yu Qianzi and the cameraman Qi Yong, and smiled: "Xin Da's best actor has improved, and he personally shot the close-up of 'Writing Letter'."

The executive director made an "OK" gesture.

This scene is "Lang Ying writing a letter", Xie Lansheng walked back to the director's place and said: "The whole audience is quiet! 18 scenes of 1A scene, one, two, three, let's go."

So Xin Ye began to write.

The camera is on his hand.Letter-writing shots are always close-ups, with at most a push-pull pan, but Xie Lansheng used a probe camera-it is closer and more intimate to the subject, and the visual effect will be stronger.

To Xie Lansheng's surprise, Xinye turned into a male Erlang Ying. After writing the word "talent", he seemed to feel that it was not perfect or good-looking enough. He tore the first sheet aside and wrote "talent" again on the second one.Before writing, he paused again, pulled back the waste paper, and practiced several times before solemnly writing the letter again.

And Xie Lansheng didn't expect that the few "talent" characters he practiced were really better than the other, and the details were impeccable!

After writing the third word of the letter, "Lang Ying" seemed to feel that the word was poorly written again, so she changed the paper without hesitation.Then, every time he finished writing a sentence, Xin Ye's hands would pause, as if he was thinking carefully, touching repeatedly, and finally finalized the words, instead of writing madly according to the script like other actors.

And every time, as long as Lang Ying feels dissatisfied - which word is written wrong, which word is written ugly, which sentence has a wrong sentence, which sentence has no literary talent, Xin Ye will choose to start again, and repeat Did this about five or six times.Before shooting the ending shot, he even made a draft and put it aside, which means that Lang Ying even wrote a draft and then transcribed it.The draft is scratched and smeared, and there are traces of repeated revisions.

Several shots were longer than expected, and the material cut for Xie Lansheng was very rich and huge.Xie Lansheng can cut out a very good "writing letter" at will.

Xie Lansheng felt that Xin Ye was really amazing, a small hand close-up could actually show this kind of emotion--Lang Ying Caikuan just met, Lang Ying was worried about gains and losses, walked on thin ice, always wanted to show the other party the most perfect self, even every day Sentences and every word must be to the best of their ability.Write it over and over again, waste it over and over again, every letter has a lot of twists and turns.And when Caikuan opened the envelope and took out a complete letter, the audience would know how long it took to complete this dense letter.

At the last "cut", Yu Qianzi said to Xie Lansheng: "It's amazing..."

Xie Lansheng: "Yes."

Xin Ye is indeed too powerful, he sees the world very clearly, and he also sees people very clearly.In addition, the skills learned before can control the characters with ease.

The director will definitely love the top actors very much.Appreciate, admire, and feel that we know each other well.In fact, it is impossible for any actor to feel exactly the same as the character in the play and what the director wants. There is always a gap. The director needs to explain the intention and then strive to be more similar. There will be a wonderful feeling of soul connection.

He looked at Qi Yong in the distance: "Alright, little red and little green put away the letter! Let's get ready for the next shot!"

Little Red and Little Green: "Okay!"

…………

At eight o'clock in the evening, the day's work was successfully completed, everyone had dinner together, and Xie Lansheng went to Xinye's room to discuss tomorrow's play with him.

Tomorrow is Cai Kuan Langying's rivalry, which is very important.

The two of them were very serious, and Xie Lansheng didn't relax until 10 o'clock, when he suddenly remembered the matter of "practicing calligraphy", and then joked to Xinye before finishing talking during the day: "Didn't you deliberately practice...to write like that? Did you take any panacea?"

Xin Ye sat on the single sofa, with his legs crossed, and his left fingertips tapped on the armrest like playing a piano, as if he was recalling something, after a long while, he turned to look at Xie Lansheng who was sitting by the bed, and smiled self-deprecatingly He said, "Because for the past four years... I wrote a letter every week."

"...Ah?" Xie Lansheng asked, "To whom?" Isn't this frequency too high? !

"A man." Xinye was still in the same sitting position: "I want to tell that man what I saw, what I heard, what I thought, what I did this week, what I even ate and drank, and how I have spent the past four years. Yes. I will write some abstracts at random, and then write quietly at the weekend. Of course, my Chinese has changed in about 200 letters."

"Xinye...!" At this point, Xie Lansheng already understood what Xinye was referring to.

He didn't expect it.

Xinye, on the other hand, said to himself: "But I never sent it because... I don't think he cares."

"No!" Xie Lansheng realized that he really couldn't see Xinye like this - in his impression, Xinye was always calm and could even be said to be contemptuous.

He put his hands on his knees, clenched into fists, did not escape, looked straight at Xinye, and said clearly, "He wants to know."

Xinye leaned on the armrest with his elbow, propped his chin with his left hand, looked at Xie Lansheng, and said nothing.

"Really," Xie Lansheng said, "I really want to know."

Xinye looked straight ahead, then looked back at Xie Lansheng, and smiled: "Okay. I should really bring it."

After finishing speaking, he put down his long legs, stepped on the carpet and stood up. Without any haste, he opened the cabinet door, took out a black notebook from the safe inside, walked to the bedside table on Xie Lansheng's side, and then He picked it up to look at the cover, then put the notebook on the bedside table, straightened his waist, put his other hand in his trouser pocket, turned his eyes to look at Xie Lansheng, and smiled: "Okay, let him read it."

"Yeah." Xie Lansheng raised his neck, feeling that the other party was tall and big: "Then, Xinye, you can watch Minger's play again, I'm going back, don't bother me anymore."

"Row."

Xie Lansheng carefully picked up the notebook from the bedside table, looked up into Xinye's eyes, and said, "bye-bye."

"Goodnight."

As soon as he got back to his room, Xie Lansheng started to read the letter.

This is an ordinary book, loose-leaf, with the name "Harvard" written on it, and it is the size of an American "letter". It looks like about [-] or [-] pages.

He washed his hands and opened it slowly.

第一封是1991年12月27号写的，后面还有一个括号，写着“补”。后面，1992年1月5号、1月12号的信上面也有“补”字，而从1月19号开始就没有了。

They all start with "Dear Lansheng" and never change, followed by the text of the letter.

In fact, I have never described anger or resentment, nor have I ever told how I miss or miss, and some are just very restrained and straightforward, just like Xinye said, "What did I watch, listen to, think, and do every week?" What, what did you eat, what did you drink?" "How did you live these four years".

He wrote about the new people he met, their names, where they came from, what they did, how many children they had, their personalities, what they said, and what they talked about.For example, the stepfather changed the gardener today, and the new gardener is Mexican. He has three sons who are also gardeners...

He writes about what he just saw.For example, a cat came to their yard, it was black, and it walked on snow.For another example, he went to a football game where Washington beat Buffalo.

He writes about what he just ate.For example, the stepfather and the others killed wild boar, and the chef at home made it with butter, which tasted pretty good.

He writes about where he just went.For example, the three of them spent Christmas in the Maldives.

He writes about his new movie.He went to see a lot of premieres and watched a lot of videoCDs. He wrote some of his thoughts and some inspirations.

He writes about his new music.He often goes to WaltDisneyConcertHall.

He writes about his new purchases.

However, the more important content is what he does every week.For example, what time did he wake up, what time did he go to sleep, which scenes were filmed, which ones went well and which ones didn’t go well, what did the director tell him, what did he do, what happened to the crew, everyone What happened.Lan Sheng had seen these movies, and immediately got into his diary.

Or, sometimes, he temporarily manages a hotel for his stepfather, or helps his stepfather watch over the acquisition.Xie Lansheng read it very hard, but he still felt that "xx Group subscribed for our 3.5 million convertible preferred shares and 140 million ordinary share warrants at a total consideration of US$1.2 million" "Convertible preferred shares have a 4.5% priority Dividend, period of 6 years" These words are like a bible.

or……

In the letters, he never expresses his emotions in lengthy lengths. He is very restrained and rational, and all of them are objective expositions without any psychological descriptions, as if he is writing a narrative.

However, in the last line of each letter, he will start a new paragraph and write the same sentence:

【Today, I Still Love You.】

In the lower right corner, there is a stereotyped inscription:

[Yoursever,

Xin Ye]

Xie Lansheng knew that this signature was "belongs to you forever and ever, Xin Ye."

And Xinye's handwriting has gradually changed from the initial handwriting to the current handwriting. It is much more proficient, and it is more beautiful than the handwriting written by Xie Lansheng's classmate Beidian.

Xie Lansheng looked at him, and suddenly, a tear fell on a certain letter "Yoursever, Xinye".
