Rebirth 1979: Marrying a poor girl at the beginning

The next day, morning, Studio 2, interior room.

The crew of "Under the Hawthorn Tree" continues filming.

The younger brother and sister played by Hu Jun and Jiang Shan were folding the quilt, Gong Xue was bandaging her wound on the bed, and then there was a knock on the door.

Gong Xue said: "I'll go open it, I'll go open it!"

She got out of bed and opened the door, and Tang Guoqiang came in with sesame cakes, canned spicy fish and a box.

Gong Xue looked at him a little worriedly.

This is also Lin Zhengjun’s correction!

In the original version, when Jingqiu saw the third brother, she was only happy and not nervous. This is wrong.

In that era, it was a very serious matter for a grown man to enter a girl's home.

The original version of "Under the Hawthorn Tree" has such a high rating on Douban, but it is actually inflated.

Because some young viewers do not fully understand the historical context of the time and cannot tell whether it is good or bad.

"No one saw me. I came in after your mother left." Tang Guoqiang smiled, revealing his white and neat teeth, and his eyes seemed to be glowing.

"You came so early, you must have come last night, right?" Gong Xue rubbed her collar with her little hands, feeling both shy, happy and worried.

"Here, sesame cakes and canned spicy fish!"

The two children ran over and ate the sesame cakes with canned spicy fish.

Gong Xue also picked up the pancake and was burned. She pinched her ear for a moment, then picked up the pancake again and said, "He is a friend of mine. Don't tell mom!"

Hu Jun said: "Big brother, you gave me hawthorn fruit last time..."

Tang Guoqiang stroked Hu Jun's head, smiled with white teeth, and said, "Little brother, you did a good job of keeping the secret!"

Then Jiang Shan winked at Hu Jun, and the two children left together, leaving them some space for the two of them...

The following scenes continued to go smoothly, with two cameras shooting from different angles, but all in one shot!

"stop!"

Xie Tieli laughed and clapped his hands, saying, "It worked! Zhengjun is incredible. He made Gong Xue, Hu Jun and Jiang Shan so close, and it worked immediately!"

"Zhengjun's method is great! The skill lies beyond poetry! The actors have a close relationship, which can be revealed naturally in the performance!" Zhang Ruifang praised.

Gong Xue also looked at Lin Zhengjun with admiration and thought, what's wrong with his brain? He has so many fantastic ideas, yet they are all effective!

There was joy on everyone's face.

Xie Tieli continued, "Prepare for the next scene, which will be shot outdoors downstairs in our guesthouse. We will film the scene where my brother receives the hawthorn fruit and gives it to Jingqiu!"

Everyone carried their equipment out.

Xie Tieli smiled: "This scene is set in winter, Gong Xue, Xiao Hu Jun, you can wear cotton clothes and finally don't have to suffer the cold!"

Everyone laughed.

We arrived downstairs at the guesthouse, set up the camera, adjusted the set, Xie Tieli and Lin Zhengjun talked about the play, the actors walked through it several times, and it was all very busy.

"Hey, Lao Xie, did the shoot go smoothly?"

An old man in his sixties, wearing a blue jacket and big leather shoes, came over carrying a few cabbages. He was wearing glasses, had gray hair, regular features and a dignified appearance.

"Wow, Huaikai!"

Xie Tieli raised his hand and pointed at Lin Zhengjun, smiling, "Zhengjun has been notified to help here as well. It's going pretty smoothly. We'll finish filming the city scenes before the New Year, and we'll go to Huanghuai City to film the rural scenes next spring!"

Xie Tieli introduced: "Zhengjun, this is director Chen Huaikai. We co-produced "A River Runs Away". He is very talented!"

"sure!"

Chen Huaikai casually put down the cabbage, shook hands and exchanged greetings, with a look of surprise on his face, and said with a smile: "Comrade Zhengjun is really young and promising! I have read the script of "The Hawthorn Tree". It is well written and will be recorded in film history!"

Behind him followed a young man, who was tall and straight, with regular features and deep eyes, exuding a temperament that was ready to recite poetry anytime and anywhere.

It’s his son Chen Kaige.

Chen Kaige particularly likes poetry and considers himself not a vulgar person. He is a loyal fan of the people who published the underground poetry magazine "Today" and admires Zhao Zhenkai, Mang Ke and others very much.

"Today" is an illegal publication with no formal distribution channels. It has contacts in major universities in Yenching University, and the one at Beijing Film Academy is Chen Kaige.

Busy all day long, but doesn't ask for a penny, a total bootlicker.

Lin Zhengjun said politely: "Hello Director Chen, thank you for your good words. I like your work very much!"

“Haha, I’m old, and the things I shoot are old too!”

Chen Huaikai was very happy, and then he pushed Chen Kaige out and said, "This is my son Chen Kaige, he is a sophomore at the Beijing Film Academy. You two should get closer to each other in the future!"

Lin Zhengjun shook hands with the famous director and said, "Oh, I've heard a lot about you!"

Chen Kaige smiled reservedly and said, "Comrade Zhengjun, to be honest, I also like literature. In fact, your poem "You Must Wait Until the Flowers Bloom"..."

"I don't write well, it's rubbish!" Lin Zhengjun laughed.

Chen Kaige wanted to "discuss" literature with Lin Zhengjun, but he didn't expect Lin Zhengjun to be so self-deprecating. He was dumbfounded for a moment and had a lot to say but couldn't say a word.

Lin Zhengjun was too lazy to pay attention to him. He turned around and looked at the set, explaining the scenes to the actors, arranging props and scenes, and directing the photography.

Chen Huaikai picked up the cabbage and rushed home with Chen Kaige.

Chen Huaikai was a little emotional: "This Lin Zhengjun is really amazing. Xie Tieli thinks highly of him. He is not only a screenwriter, but also a deputy director. Look at him, he is in overall control and there is no chaos at all! Kaige, you have to learn from him with an open mind!"

"Haha, the world has really changed. Even the Beijing Film Studio, a holy place for art, has allowed all kinds of people to sneak in?" Chen Kaige suddenly said indignantly.

Chen Kaige is the son of an artistic family. He attended the prestigious Yenching No. 4 Middle School. He wanted to get into Peking University, but his scores were not high enough, so he condescended to go to the Beijing Film Academy.

Ni Zhen, a teacher at the Beijing Film Academy at that time, later recalled that the students of the Class of 78 were divided into "three worlds" by their family backgrounds.

"The first world consists of children of high-ranking officials. They enjoy social privileges and have many opportunities and possibilities that ordinary people don't have."

"The second world is the children of artistic families. They have the advantage of knowledge and extensive social connections in the film industry, and their artistic future is smooth and easy."

"The third world is made up of children from ordinary families. They have neither. Only by working hard and making extra efforts can they hope to excel in art and achieve something in the future."

According to this classification, Tian Zhuangzhuang and the big directors belong to the "second world", which is not as good as the best but better than the worst. Of course, compared with the two, the big directors are slightly inferior.

Tian Zhuangzhuang's father is Tian Fang, the first director of Beijing Film Studio, and Wang Yang is his successor. His mother is Yu Lan, the actress of "Sister Jiang", a 22-year-old movie star, and later went to be the director of the Children's Film Studio.

Ni Zhen said that since he was in No. 4 Middle School, the great director had a contradiction. Among his classmates in No. 4 Middle School, compared with those "red aristocrats", he was marginalized and invisible;

But he is also proud of this experience.

According to Ai Dajin, graduates of this school, including Li Ao, director Chen Da, Yu Dan and others, when introducing themselves, even if they later got admitted to Tsinghua University and Yanjing University, they all said that they were from No. 4 Middle School instead of saying that they were from Tsinghua or Yanjing University.

In short, the great director always had a mysterious narcissism. Seeing Lin Zhengjun, a member from Huanghuai County, making decisions on the set, he was of course not convinced.

"Oh, you're still not convinced!"

Chen Huaikai hit him, saying: "Don't you love literature? When it comes to literature, ten of you put together are not as good as him!"

"The novels he wrote are too vulgar!" the director blushed and said stubbornly.

"You have written a lot of poems, such as 'A Generation' and 'Facing the Sea'... What about yours? How many have you published?" Chen Huaikai scolded.

"Hmph! His poetry is not good either. It's too shallow, just lyric poetry full of clichés. The poems of Zhao Zhenkai and Mang Ke are sharp. When you read them, they are shocking. Your head will buzz and you will almost faint..." Chen Kaige continued to express his disdain.

"You should take a break! Why don't you know how to be modest and prudent? Oh, I really can't explain it to you clearly!"

Chen Huaikai became more and more annoyed as he listened, and suddenly he shoved the cabbage rope into his hands: "Hold it for me! Let your father carry the cabbage, and you are empty-handed, you look so cool!"

Eight heavy cabbages were picked up, they were very heavy, Chen Kaige's palms were hurt by the ropes, and he suddenly felt the heaviness of reality, and art and romance were very far away.
