independent filmmaker

In the next few days, Liu Yao was basically the main shoot.

Li Fangfang's good times didn't last long.After being together for only a few months, Long Yingren "helplessly" broke up.Long Yingren told Li Fangfang that he would be a "visiting scholar" for two years.Because the air ticket is very expensive, he has no funds to come back halfway, and the Chinese Scholarship Council can only guarantee basic living.Long Yingren said that he had no face to let Li Fangfang wait for him in China, so they broke up by phone.

When filming this scene, Liu Yao seemed to be thinking of the past again, with some blankness on his face, but tears flowed instinctively.In the end, the tears finally cooled down on my face, tight like a mask.

A sharp knife pierced the heart.

So profitable, so ruthless.

At the end of this shot, Xie Lansheng planned to use the most extreme scene switching-black screen, and the black screen lasted for three seconds.The black screen transition is violent and extreme. It symbolizes that the front and back of the black screen are completely separated, and everything behind the black screen is a brand new thing.At the same time, the black screen forces the audience to think about the scene just now, giving the audience time to recall the scene, which is a good way to highlight a certain plot.

The content performance is more delicate, which is one of the reasons why Xie Lansheng loves movies.Television must catch the eyeballs, prevent viewers from changing channels, every moment must be exciting, and there is basically no time for thinking, but movies are not.After Xie Lansheng was banned, he also had the opportunity to make a TV series, but he refused them all. Therefore, he fought endlessly with the film bureau. Accept it, and never change it."

After filming, Liu Yao took an opportunity to say softly to Xie Lansheng: "Director Xie... When I first saw this character... I felt hit."

Xie Lansheng: "Huh?"

"When my ex-husband said to separate...his reasons were two places. I found out later that he never cared about it. I resigned from Renyi and I still couldn't save anything." Fortunately, I went back later.

"……what."

"This kind of role is very difficult to touch, and I really wanted to play it at that time."

Xie Lansheng looked at Liu Yao again, and asked, "Are you really all right now?"

Liu Yao was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled brightly: "Of course. The crew of "Consummation" has a very good atmosphere, and everyone is very warm. People don't only have family love, I can also have friendship."

Just as Xie Lansheng was about to say something, Xiaohong called to start work.

…………

After breaking up with Long Yingren, Li Fangfang was at a loss.She called his school and was told he had gone abroad.

Then, she decided to wait for the other party to come back.

It was also at this time that Li Fangfang found out that she was pregnant.

Because of her reluctance, she decided to give birth to the child and "wait for him forever".Li Fangfang thought that Long Yingren would not fall in love again after two years in the United States—only two years, no future, not to mention scholars are busy and poor, she will appear again after those two years, and bring his flesh and blood, they The two will definitely be able to reunite and reunite.I was also divorced at that time, and they could be happy forever.

And Cai Kuan was a little happy.

Because with this child, he can cope with his parents, and his parents' hard work has made him unable to support him.And in this way, even if the contract expires in the future and he and Fang Fang part ways, he will not need to marry again because he already has a child—when he is forced, he only needs to say that his son is firmly against it.For the elderly, the grandson is always more important than the daughter-in-law.

Only Lang Ying disagreed.Lang Ying felt that the play for the sake of face seemed to have gone too far.

Fake wives, fake children.

He said: "In East Asian culture, sometimes collectivism and collective honor and disgrace really hurt people. Everyone has to pay for the collective, thus forming collective oppression. 'You have lost the face of the whole family' 'You have lost the face of the whole class' ''You have lost the face of the whole school', 'You have lost the face of the province', 'You have lost the face of the whole country', these kinds of words come out endlessly. People don't want to be splashed with dirty water because of another person in the group, they just want to be with the group Another person in the world shares the honor... But in fact, isn't it good for another person to bear his own glory or disgrace?"

This passage in "Consummation" is also a passage that points to the topic.On the surface, this movie is discussing the issue of "face", talking about the importance of "face", and the tragedy of "face", but in fact, this "Consummation" is showing a deeper historical reason, that is, East Asian culture. collectivism.It has both advantages and disadvantages. Xie Lansheng only chose one side that stands out.The tone of the movie "Consummation" is pessimistic, because Xie Lansheng doesn't think that exposing this phenomenon will solve it easily.At least for now, a person's "wrong" behavior is subject to group pressure.

Caikuan knew what Lang Ying meant, but he didn't resist his parents. Lang Ying felt that everything was out of control, and he became more and more fierce in bed.He can only use these to confirm that he still has the other side completely.

…………

Li Fangfang took care of the baby with all her heart for ten months. She felt that this was the crystallization of her love.She paid a lot of money, and was in critical condition at the time of delivery, and finally gave birth to a very healthy baby boy.Cai Kuan's parents wept with joy, and talked to everyone outside, and Li Fangfang was also sincerely happy when she saw the baby's facial features that resembled her biological father.

But all this is an illusion.

Soon, Li Fangfang met a teacher from the same school as Long Yingren.The other party said that Long Yingren had never been abroad, but had always been in Beijing, and had been married for many years. The husband and wife were loving and harmonious.

The thunderbolt from the blue sky struck.Li Fangfang calculated in her heart that the half a year they spent together was his wife's pregnancy.

After seeking evidence, Li Fangfang found out that what the other party said was true. Moreover, Long Yingren approached her only after knowing her married status, because it was easy to get rid of and there would be no scandal.At that time, Long Yingren "worked overtime" one day a week. He told Li Fangfang that he would work overtime on Saturdays and his wife on Sundays.Long Yingren never loved her, her sweetness and sourness were full of lies from beginning to end.

But she's already had a baby.

In such an era, Li Fangfang has no future for her.

Li Fangfang completely collapsed the moment she confirmed everything.

She curled up into a ball and began to scream. The scream was like "Ah" but not like it. It was extremely shrill, like the last loud cry of some kind of bird before it died.

Then, Li Fangfang smashed everything in sight!There were a few bowls and plates on the stove, and Li Fangfang lifted them up one by one and fell them down heavily. Amidst the sound of shattering, there were bursts of crying babies.She looked like a ghost, with disheveled hair and a hideous expression, and the baby was hoarse and terrified.

Xie Lansheng was quite surprised.Liu Yao has always been very gentle, like water, like yarn, once the resentment broke out in his heart, he could reach this point.

To everyone's surprise, Liu Yao, who played Li Fangfang, after throwing something to vent his anger, stood on the spot breathing violently, his chest heaving, and then, suddenly, as if all the strength in his body was drained, Liu Yao's body softened and his knees Bend, fell into the broken porcelain!

There was no such action, Xie Lansheng wanted to call "cut" instinctively, but he restrained himself because Liu Yao was still performing.

Because this part of the movie took place in summer, Liu Yao was wearing a skirt.She didn't kneel on the tiles, but sat sideways, but her thighs, calves, and palms were all cut.The bowls and plates were shattered, and the pieces were blown away. Only the stubble remained on the ground, but it was still shocking.

After the mirror was shot, Xie Lansheng quickly pulled Liu Yao out of the porcelain and examined it carefully, but Liu Yao smiled softly: "Director Xie, this little injury is nothing."

"You..." Xie Lansheng said, "You are more important than the movie, you know?"

Liu Yao laughed again: "I know."

But later facts proved that Liu Yao didn't know at all.

In the next scene, Li Fangfang plunged her head and face into a washbasin filled with water, she was on the verge of death, and when she pulled it out again, she wanted to suffocate but dared not.

Xie Lansheng meant that Liu Yao would pull it out in three seconds, and he could use post-editing to express the meaning clearly.

Unexpectedly...

Liu Yao pinched the edge of the basin with both hands, buried her face in the water, and never came out after that, for two to three minutes.The small air bubbles she exhaled rose to the surface one by one, and then became slower and smaller, indicating that there was no air in her lungs.

Xie Lansheng: "..."

Just when Lan Sheng was about to pull Liu Yao up from his hand, Liu Yao raised his head with a "wow", panting like a bellows, like a fish landing on the shore, his hair was disheveled, and his face and neck were all red of.

Only ten seconds later, she lowered her head again.

After two or three times like this, Xie Lansheng couldn't stand it anymore, and shouted "Kaka Kaka" to Qi Yong, ordering Liu Yao to stop acting.

This is too hard.

Nothing like that.

Liu Yao covered his mouth, choking on water while talking: "I'm fine... I'm really fine! It's better to act like a little bit."

"Miss Liu Yao, you are really..." Qi Yong said, "Making a movie is more important than your life?! Are you putting your life in it?!"

"It's so exaggerated." Liu Yao liked beauty, holding her black hair with one hand and combing it with the other, "Compared to the later cut, the acting must be more touching."

Xie Lansheng also agrees.

Watching Liu Yao's performance just now, he was really shocked.Li Fangfang's despair almost swallowed him up.It is conceivable that after some lens language, such as close-ups, this paragraph must be very shocking on the big screen.

She is really burning herself.

…………

After work was over, Xie Lansheng was also a little sad about the emotional changes in the play.

The actor's assistant director Hua Guoguang recalled the content just now, and said to Xie Lansheng: "Thank you, director, hahahaha, you really understand men!"

"???" Xie Lansheng knew that Hua Guoguang was 36 years old and still unmarried, and he had been playing with flowers all the time.

"Hey, that's the thing with men. They love too much the same, that is, young and good-looking. To put it bluntly, whether you like it or not, it's all about sexual desire. No one has to blame her. The little girls are given by TV. I'm so dizzy."

Xie Lansheng: "..."

Hua Guoguang added: "We Chinese are pretty good. I once said that a friend chased his wife for a year, and some old beauties were speechless, saying that they asked the girl to go on a date, and the other party said no and changed her. After speaking, he took a look at Xin Ye, and felt that he should agree with himself very much when he grew up in the United States.

But Xinye just chuckled and didn't speak.

After Hua Guoguang left, Xin Ye stood in front of Lan Sheng, with his hands in his trouser pockets, tall and big, with downcast eyes, and said: "It's okay if it's really that easy to replace, my four Years will not...'"

Xinye didn't say anything later, but Xie Lansheng guessed that it was probably "so painful".

"Thank you, guide."

"Huh?" Xie Lansheng leaned back against the big white wall with his hands in his pockets.

"When I was in school, I basically only slept five hours a day. I don't like wasting my life. It always feels like a waste of time."

"……and then?"

"And then I fell in love every night for the last four years."

Xie Lansheng did not speak.

At this time, the fluorescent tubes in the room failed and became dark for a while.In the drowsy light, Xinye's eyes lingered greedily on Xie Lansheng's brows and eyes, and he said in a low voice, "Because you can come for a while."

Those dreams are vivid and picturesque for him to pursue his traces at night, and then remind himself of the crazy nostalgia after waking up from the dream.

Xin Ye continued: "This way there will be new relationships, not just memories."

"..."

Xie Lansheng thought: This man is too cunning.It's the third time, using the most powerful attitude to say the most humble love words.

He knew he couldn't take it.
