independent filmmaker

The film king of Shen University came up again, put one of his arms on Xie Lansheng's neck, and hugged Xie Lansheng with the other arm, stroking his back.

"Xinye," Xie Lansheng rubbed his legs, looked at the thing on the other's lower lip, was so ashamed that he couldn't stand it, and said, "wash your mouth...no, brush your teeth."

"Ok?"

Xie Lansheng said: "It's too dirty..."

"No." Xinye said, "I don't think you are dirty. I was going crazy with joy just now."

Xie Lansheng was stunned by these words and couldn't believe it: "What, what?"

Xin Ye said: "What I said is all the truth."

His scalp tingled with excitement.It is simply the most delicious thing in the world, and it is really lovely in shape, attractive in color and sweet in taste.Physically stimulated, coupled with the psychological satisfaction of "Xie Lansheng exposed his fragility... between his lips and teeth", he even had a very strange impulse to heat his eyes.

"..." Xie Lansheng tried his best to hold back, and looked at Xinye.

It's obviously sticky a little...but it's even more alluring visually.

"I like it." Xinye asked, "What about you? Do you like it? Do you want to do it again in the future?"

Xie Lansheng recalled the feeling of his soul coming out of his body just now, and instantly became self-defeating, closed his eyes, pretended to be an ostrich, and said: "I don't know, I really don't know. It's up to you, sleep and sleep."

"Okay." Xin Ye hooked his lips into a smile, "Go to sleep, baby."

"..." Hearing Xinye's name, Xie Lansheng felt awkward again, and said, "I'm a man." A big man in the north doesn't match this word too much. This word is too weak and needs protection too much.

"Of course." Xin Ye agreed with the words but did not correct them, but kissed him on the forehead, and said, "Baby."

"..." Hearing this word again, Xie Lansheng's heart seemed to be planted with grass, fluffy and messy, which made him numb and itchy, and felt that he would be planted by Xinye's hands for the rest of his life.

People who engage in literature and art have a perverted desire for loneliness, but Xie Lansheng feels that he is no different from ordinary people in this respect.

When Xie Lansheng closed his eyes, Xin Ye suddenly said: "Remember. I love you."

"..."

Born and raised in Los Angeles, Xinye is always straightforward, but Xie Lansheng likes Xinye's straightforwardness very much.This is very strange. It stands to reason that those who engage in art like to be subtle, but Xinye's frankness is so passionate and powerful that Xie Lansheng cannot resist.

After thinking about it, Xie Lansheng said, "Me too."

Because he was really exhausted, after saying goodnight again, Xie Lansheng hugged Xinye and fell into a drowsy sleep.Falling asleep, and rolled up the pajamas sleeve on the arm of the pillow, sleeping on the pillow, letting Xin Ye's other arm hug her and caress his back.

…………

Opening his eyes again, Xie Lansheng took a shower again, conceived his ideas, reviewed his speaking skills, had a breakfast buffet with Xin Ye on the first floor of the hotel, and then took a taxi to various clubs in Nanjing.

Before leaving the hotel, Xinye put on a little disguise.He wore a pair of metal mirror frames and combed his hair back. From head to toe, he looked like a gentle scum, but Xie Lansheng thought that the other party was quite handsome, so he hugged him through the mirror frame and kissed him before going out.

Xin Ye had appeared on TV before, and he was worried that others would recognize him. Moreover, his two American films "Vagabond" and "1912" now have pirated VCDs.But in fact, Xin Ye's appearance in the movie is very different from his usual appearance, Lan Sheng thinks that the possibility of being recognized is quite low - he himself was not sure when he first met Xin Ye in Los Angeles, let alone others up.

This day was also relatively smooth, and no one revealed their secrets.Xie Lansheng and Xinye ate a saltwater duck in the evening, and flew to Guangzhou again.

Before going to bed, Xie Lansheng sent himself to the door again, "sticky and seductive".

Xinye helped him do what he did last night, but then the two of them kissed Xie Lansheng again.For some unknown reason, Xie Lansheng's big white vest was pushed above his collarbone, and Xin Ye reverently...In the end, the two of them continued to kiss each other deeply, and at some point, Xinye actually... tried to absorb the sweetness with the tip of his tongue, and at the same time used..., for the first time, the two of them rubbed each other without any hindrance.

And after Xin Ye helped Xie Lansheng tidy up and down, Xie Lansheng didn't even have the energy to say "good night".

…………

Just like that, during the "business trip", they acted separately during the day and messed around at night. Xie Lansheng once again felt that he was not quite like himself, and was about to be overwhelmed by Xinye's naked primitive desire.

Xie Lansheng and Xinye were in Chongqing on their last day.

In the morning, when Xie Lansheng stepped into the disc rental agency in Yuzhong District, he was actually a little uneasy.

He thought: Well, it’s still not pirated today.

Did the pirates see through?Based on past experience, they knew that "Rooting" had no market?Or are pirates not interested?Can they make a steady fortune just by making American blockbusters?

What should we do next?Today is the last day of the original plan.

Please more friends in big cities keep asking?Eight more days?Is there such a need?

Hey, so tired.

He got lost on the road just now, and asked a person "Where is North?" He didn't expect the other person to taunt and say, "Oh, headless flies, I can't find North!" That conversation between the two of them seemed to be a bad omen, because he I really can't find the north.

Walking to the table at the door, Lan Sheng got stuck facing the boss because he had just finished expressing his worry and hadn't changed his mood yet.He stood there deliberating for a few seconds before he remembered what to say, but he was already a little embarrassed.

However, at this moment, the owner of the Disc Club spoke first.

He said, "Hey, it's just in time! It's not too early or too late! I just got two very good Chinese films last night! They're so good!"

"???" Hearing the other party say "Chinese film", Xie Lansheng rekindled that faint hope, and asked: "Who directed it?" Xie Lansheng knew in his heart that the "Chinese film" that the boss said was likely Nine are Hong Kong films.

"Hahaha," the boss said, pointing to a stack of brand-new VCDs on the opposite shelf, "a man named Xie Lansheng made a film called "Consummation", which just won the best film in a big film festival in Europe! Two of them were taken by him before, one is called "Rooting" and the other is called "The Beautiful Sea". "The Beautiful Sea" is more worth watching, this is the film that was shortlisted for Cannes! It is written on the back of the disc, you can go by yourself Let's see!"

"..."

Lan Sheng couldn't believe that his long-term dream had become a reality.

The VCD of his film came out? !

Really, come out? !

His strategy of asking everyone to ask if there are any Xie Lansheng movies in each city has worked? After the VCD pirates heard the wind, they made the discs of "Rooting" and "The Beautiful Sea"?

He turned around, walked two steps on the creaking wooden floor, stood quietly in front of the shelf, looked at the row of newly arrived dishes, and begged "God bless the Bodhisattva" in his heart , take a deep breath.He could feel his heart beating wildly, hitting his throat one after another, the pain was very painful.

Are his movies seen by many people?

A few seconds later, Xie Lansheng thought "forget it", took another big step forward, bowed down, and stared at the disc.

The middle of the back of the disc is the Chinese word for "rooting".At this time, the two ordinary bold characters are so cute and charming.

Xie Lansheng gently pulled out one of the dozen discs, and recognized the familiar Japanese cover at a glance.

Ouyang Nannan was sitting upright on the wedding bed in a wedding dress, with a bit of literary atmosphere, which was more in line with the Japanese market.

Holding the disc in both hands, Xie Lansheng looked at the words "Director Xie Lansheng" and "Turin Film Festival Best Film" written in the lower right corner, and his eyes became sore.

I was really watched by someone.

And it still costs money to watch...even if it's only fifty cents a day.

In the past, when he played a show in a cafe, only two or three people watched it. After a month of hard work, he could attract one or two hundred people. At that time, Xie Lansheng already felt that it was quite a lot.But now, he knows that the coverage of the two films will far exceed the past, after all, there will be 200 million households with their own VCD players soon.

Just when he was shocked, a young male student pushed the door and walked in. The owner of the disc club immediately offered him the same excuse: "Hey, here again? I just arrived last night. Two very good ones Chinese movie! Made by Xie Lansheng! It’s over there! Hurry up and watch it! Fuck, it’s shocking!”

"Ah..." The male student pushed his glasses, walked to Xie Lansheng's side, pulled out the VCD of "Rooting", and carefully read the following words.

After watching for a while, he put the disc under his arm, took out "Beautiful Sea" and read it word by word, and finally stacked the two discs together and walked to the door, saying: "Then I will read these two discs." I want it all."

"Okay!" said the boss, "The deposit is twenty, one yuan per day."

"Ah."

Xie Lansheng's eyes became sore again, and a surge of pride suddenly surged in his heart.Once, he was small and insignificant, standing silently in the soil, stretching out ambitious branches and leaves, he was not afraid of thunder and rain, but only yearned for a ray of sunshine. Now, the movies he made are finally seen by people.

He thought for a while, and went to the boss of Disc Club, and said: "Well, I like Xie Lansheng very much! I want to buy some of his films and give them to relatives and friends! Can you put these two films into ten sets each and sell them to others? And me?"

"Hi," the boss said directly, "you can take the ones from the store, I'll buy new ones tomorrow. It's 10 yuan a piece, okay?"

Xie Lansheng said: "It's ok. Thank you." When he was packing the VCD, the boss gave him a plastic bag.

As soon as he came out of the disc rental club, Xie Lansheng immediately called the nearest small store and asked Xin Ye, Yu Qianzi, Hua Guoguang, etc. to buy some video discs, saying that he wanted to go to a more artistic place to sell them himself.Xie Lansheng also added that the other party will replenish the stock immediately after they bought all the dishes, and the audience will not run out of things to watch. Moreover, because someone bought all the dishes, the other party will buy more, thinking that "Xie Lansheng" is very popular.

Little Red and Little Green were very speechless, but they still agreed.

…………

After hanging up the phone, Xie Lansheng went to other disc rental agencies and VCD vendors in Chongqing to buy some pirated discs of his own, packed them in a big backpack, and went back to Beijing overnight with Xin Yingdi.

Then, Xie Lansheng gathered the [-] discs that everyone bought together, and sent Yu Qianzi, Xiao Hong and Xiao Lu to the gates of universities and research institutes to sell them, because he felt that now, discs are sold only when there are many people. cast the net widely, and his own literary films are more suitable for intellectuals.

Xie Lansheng also forced everyone to set up stalls and yell: "Banned films! Buy banned films? Two films by our Chinese independent director Xie Lansheng! They won awards at major European film festivals! They were officially banned! Take a look." ? Both films reflect on the family relationship of Chinese people, they are very profound and beautiful!"

Little Red, Little Green, Cen Chen and other main creators have long been used to it, but newcomers like Yu Qianzi have been greatly shocked, feeling that they will lose all their old faces by making a movie.But the miracle is that everyone will be infected by Lan Sheng's enthusiasm, and then risk everything without feeling bitter or tired.Xie Lansheng seems to have a very magical power.

Xie Lansheng himself would also sell discs outside.According to his observation, the word "banned film" is very attractive, and his words are quite attractive to intellectuals, so the more they sell, the higher the price.

Once the sales volume was very good, Xie Lansheng was too high, and was scolded by two other small VCD vendors who had already circled the area.The other party said that he occupied the territory and was about to beat him up. Only then did Xie Lansheng realize that selling pirated copies has its own problems.However, Xie Lansheng recognized the brothers with the two of them by lip service, and went to have a drink together.He hugged each other's shoulders and sang "Keep the Roots" and "Heart Rain" duet on the hotel's VCD player.

Xie Lansheng sang the female part with great devotion, holding the mic in his hand, and walking on tiptoe: "My thoughts are an untouchable net~~~My thoughts are no longer a sea of ​​broken banks~~~"" Because tomorrow I will be someone else's bride~~~Let me miss you for the last time~~~"

He always thought the word was weird.Living in a good new society, why does she "miss you, miss you" while getting married?

Because of recognizing his brother, Xie Lansheng not only was not beaten, but the two brothers also helped him sell all the remaining discs.

The author has something to say: There are two bugs in the last chapter. VCD players began to be popularized in the second half of 1995. The last chapter was written in the second half of 1996 by mistake.And there is a VCR video tape in front of the VCD, but everyone rents it and rarely buys it. Director Xie is naturally embarrassed.I don't dare to edit... Let me talk about it here.
