The film emperor ruled all kinds of dissatisfaction

When Wang Chen walked into the screening room of the investor company holding Qin Yue's hand, it still caused a small uproar.Although the paparazzi broke the news before, many people knew that Qin Yue had an affair with him.But after more than two years, Wang Chen has also experienced the termination of the contract with the company and the springboard of his career. Few people believe that they still maintain such a relationship, and they will even really go to the people in the circle, using a kind of euphemism but In a direct way, to show everyone that they are still together.

People with a discerning eye noticed that there was a low-key plain ring on Qin Yue's left ring finger, without diamonds, and there was nothing fancy about it. If he didn't know that he was rich, he might think it was an iron ring.

So everyone's eyes followed closely to observe Wang Chen. He didn't wear anything on his hands, but his arms were tightly tied to Qin Yue, and he didn't seem to have any grudges at all.Anyone who knows a little bit about the details of the entertainment industry knows that Qin Yue has long been a gay who has come out of the closet, and it is impossible to marry a woman anyway.A bolder guess is that this ring is a relic of his former director Wang Chen who passed away... But if Qin Yue is really affectionate, he would not hang out with Wan Chen when his lover just passed away, so this guess, Really can't count.

Everyone was full of doubts and gossip, and for a moment they made Wang Chen, who had just entered the film industry, the focus of the audience.

The quiet gathering and whispering discussion of the crowd also made Gao Siyuan, Luo Shaoxin and other main creators notice his appearance.

Naturally, Luo Shaoxin keenly saw the extra ring on Qin Yue's finger. He felt sore, and immediately put down the champagne glass in his hand, making excuses to avoid it.

However, Gao Siyuan greeted the two of them and shook hands with Qin Yue, "President Qin is very happy to visit you."

Qin Yue hurriedly said modestly: "Don't dare, director Gao is too flattering. Chen Chen really hopes that I can watch his first movie. I am very honored to be invited by you."

"How is Boss Qin's health? Xiaowan told me before that he was a little sick?"

"Healed up." Qin Yue didn't know what Wang Chen said. He glanced at the smiling people around him, and could only vaguely say, "Thank you Director Gao for your concern."

Everyone greeted each other until all the guests had signed their names and entered the venue. Then the organizer announced that the film screening was about to start and invited everyone to attend.

Qin Yue and Wang Chen were stuck together from the beginning to the end, so naturally they were sitting next to each other at the moment, on the left hand side of director Gao Siyuan.

"Are you nervous?" Qin Yue pinched Wang Chen's palm and asked in his ear.

When Wang Chen was a director in the past, whenever the editing of TV dramas and movies was over and the filming session was open, he was so nervous that he couldn't sleep well all night.

At that time, in order to let Wang Chen have a good rest and peace of mind, Qin Yue accompanied him to the bed early every night to brew sleepiness, stroked, talked in a low voice, and even read to Wang Chen when he was struggling the most.

But today, this problem seems to have disappeared from Wang Chen's body.

He leaned on Qin Yue's shoulder as if no one else was there, and said calmly: "When the filming is finished, my work as an actor is over. What else is there to be nervous about? Being nervous is because Gao Dao is nervous, and it has nothing to do with me."

Qin Yue clenched Wang Chen's hand, apologetic, "I'm sorry, Chen Chen...for making you do so many years of unhappy things."

"I'm not unhappy, but I always feel that I can't do my best, that I didn't do well enough, and that I let you down. Now it seems that I don't have so much burden in my heart, and I can enjoy the process."

Qin Yue lowered his head and glanced at Wang Chen, Wang Chen returned his gentle gaze almost immediately, wishing to drown Qin Yue in his eyes.

"My husband, give me a kiss." Wang Chen whispered suddenly.

Qin Yue's heartbeat quickened almost instantly, and the palms of his hands were sweating, "Here?"

"Yes, you don't want to?"

What is there that Qin Yue is not willing to do?

As long as Wang Chen dares, he can shoot it now in full view of everyone!

——Of course, Qin Yue is not that extreme.

Instead, he lowered his head and just touched Wang Chen's lips lightly with his own.

But just such a simple action of the two has already made each other emotional and full of thoughts.

Wang Chen smiled and grabbed Qin Yue's collar, and leaned on his shoulder as a vassal.Qin Yue immediately put his arms around him, with his ring finger wearing a ring facing outwards, exposing it to the eyes of all the audience in the back row.

"Mom... this dog food."

The film critics in the last row covered their eyes and whispered to their companions, "Let's start the movie quickly, I won't be able to watch it anymore."

As soon as she finished speaking, the lights in the auditorium were quietly turned off.

Accompanied by the sound of Longbiao's classic music, the movie kicked off.

The gondola swayed across the Bridge of Sighs, but the background music was a loud Xintianyou.

In the gloomy picture, there are gray-blue water waves, and the camera follows the boat through the bridge hole and slowly swings down until it is immersed in the water waves.

The long pole of the punting pierced the calm water bottom, and the white subtitles appeared.

"Boat to the Bridge"

What director Gao Siyuan is best at is the extremely impactful visual design of the screen. He quickly took the lead in the domestic market when the commercial film was just emerging by virtue of the martial arts film, and it is precisely because of this.The subtle combination of scheduling of large scenes, close-ups, and montage makes Gao Siyuan's works always full of personal characteristics.However, when all this falls into a modern literary work, what kind of image will it be?

—The critics are eagerly awaiting the first shot of the feature film.

It didn't disappoint anyone, and the huge screen opened with a close-up of Wan Chen's delicate face.

"mom--"

"Mom? Are you feeling better?"

Usually idol drama niches are actors with extremely thin stature, but in this thinness, there is usually some radiance and health.

At this moment, Wan Chen on the screen is a bit too thin, his cheekbones are sharp and his big eyes are a bit abrupt.

Fortunately, the camera slowly zoomed out after these two lines, and the upper body was exposed from the face, and the audience saw a close-up shot of Wan Chen holding a pair of withered hands with a worried expression.

"Mom is fine, you go to work."

An old woman was lying on the bed with a haggard face. She started coughing as soon as she finished speaking, but soon she held back.

The hero stared at his mother for a while, and finally let go.

In the close-up of the camera, the mother's hand subconsciously grabbed another handful in the void, but nothing was caught.

"Mom, then I'll come back after I wipe the wall for Uncle Niu. The water is on the table. You drink it, ah."

"Hey, let's go."

After a few lines of confrontation, Wan Chen pronounced the words clearly with a local accent, which attracted many film critics to greatly change their views on this little fresh meat.

The common disadvantage of TV drama actors is that their lines are poor, and they all rely on dubbing to save them.

Although Wan Chen's skills are not as good as the actress's in the opponent's play, both pronunciation and emotion are on the standard line, at least not letting people out of the play, which is already very rare.

Several film critics thought of the previous rumors that Wan Chen got the role and PK lost Ning Song.Everyone couldn't help being dumbfounded, the competition for fresh meat actors is so fierce now.

Director Gao Siyuan's editing skills are quite mature, with a few simple empty scenes and characters walking around the scene, quickly explaining the environment and clues.

The hero Qiao Li is helping the "Uncle Niu" in the same village to build a wall. He is obviously absent-minded and misses his mother at home.But Qiao Li seems to be very popular, and from time to time, people from the same village come to say hello and greet him and his family.Qiao Li had a smile on his face from time to time, thanked the other party for his concern, then stepped up his work, and greeted Uncle Niu, "Uncle, I have to go back early today, my mother has a bad cough today, so don't worry. "

"Go back, come back, I don't have to worry about it here." Uncle Niu was very generous.

Qiao Li thanked the other party, and was about to continue working, when the screen changed, someone shouted: "Li, brother Daozi is back, looking for you!"

"Brother Daozi? He hasn't believed in him for many years, why did he come back suddenly?"

"His mother hasn't come back since she died, did she become prosperous in the city?"

"He's gone abroad! He's a foreigner now, and he's getting rich!"

There was a lot of discussion in the village.

The camera immediately took a close-up of Wan Chen in such a voice, the boy's eyes were a little empty, as if he didn't realize what it meant.

He put down the things in his hands, returned home simply, and picked up a small tool bucket, "Uncle Niu, I'm leaving, and I'll help you tomorrow."

"Go, brother Daozi loved playing with you the most when he was a child, and you two are the best at mixing mud, haha!"

Qiao Li smiled softly, bowed his head and went out.

In the camera, the male protagonist walking along the base of the wall is almost shone by a ray of sunlight the moment he steps out the door.

The light almost swerved past him, and disappeared at the next bend.

Qiao Li stood there stunned for a moment, then turned around, as if wondering what was missing.

But at this moment, a man shouted from the voice-over, "Qiao Li!"

"Brother Daozi?"

Qiao Li hardly dared to recognize the unshaven counterpart.

His brother, who was seven or eight years older than him, had a vicissitudes of life.But he was well dressed and even had a computer bag in his hand.

The picture quickly cuts to a distant scene, and the contrast between the two is so sharp.In the next second, the scene changed to a dilapidated noodle shop in the village, but obviously, it was already a rare "restaurant" in the village.

"Why are you back?"

"I'll go through some formalities when I come back, and I'm going to start my own company."

"Then go back to the village."

"By the way, repair my dad's grave."

"Oh."

"How is your family? Are you okay? I heard people say that your mother is sick?"

"Cough, but it's nothing serious."

"I have to go to the hospital, Li, have you been to the county? Is your sister still there?"

"He said he was going to the provincial capital, and my brother-in-law said he was going to change jobs..." Qiao Li obviously avoided the topic of his mother.

The camera was facing Wan Chen's face. When the boy spoke, his eyelashes blinked quickly and irregularly, which seemed to be a symbol of trying to restrain his emotions.

The picture is cut to the boundless wilderness, here is a hopeless, dry and old-fashioned village.

"Go to Italy with me, go to Europe, I start a company, send you money, and you work for me."

"Hey, I don't speak a foreign language, what are you going to do? You go."

"You take the money and treat your mother."

"No, no, my mother can't leave me either."

"Send it to your sister."

"...What does that sound like?"

Between a few lines of dialogue, the camera repeatedly switched between close-ups and medium shots. The jumping editing made the audience not quickly feel bored in the pure dialogue.

But it is almost the limit.

With his rich experience, director Gao Siyuan has long been aware of this possibility.

The clip cuts back to the noodle restaurant after the empty shots of several villages, and both Qiao Li and Brother Dao Zi have already stood up.

"Think about it again. If you want to come to me, tell me anytime, do you have a mobile phone?"

"Mobile phone? I don't use that. Just call home."

Brother Daozi was a little helpless, "Well, think about it. You take this."

He took out a kraft paper bag from his bag, Qiao Li just caught it, and guessed what was inside, he quickly pushed it out, "Oh no, brother, I can't take your money, my mother knows she will beat me to death."

"What kind of money is this? Just keep it. Your mother is sick, so go to the city to have a look."

"I can't..."

"Let me tell you the truth, Qiao Li, this little money is not enough for me to feed the workers for a day in Venice. Take it, come to Venice, and make a fortune with my brother."

Qiao Li seemed to be in a difficult position clutching the wad of money.

Brother Daozi laughed suddenly, walked away without saying anything.

The camera panned along his back to the sunlight, scorching and dazzling.

But the next frame was sudden darkness.

A violent cough sounded instantly, and at the same time, the closed door was pushed open, and a beam of light leaked in. Accompanied by that light, it was Qiao Li who stepped into the darkness without hesitation.

Everything in the picture, a camera was fixed on Wan Chen's face, he opened his mouth to call his mother, but this sound was stuck in his throat.

The camera reversed, and immediately showed Qiao Li's mother crouching on the bedside and coughing. The old lady was holding on to the table, and she probably reached out to grab the water glass, but even with such a limited distance, she still couldn't reach it when she raised her hand.

When the picture turned back to Wan Chen's face again, the audience instantly understood the struggle in that eyes.

How painful it is to realize that I have been so incompetent and of no benefit to my mother's illness.

His mother's illness was getting worse and worse, but there was nothing he could do to help.

The boy made his decision almost instantly, and the audience heard his hoarse voice: "Mom, drink water."

In the slowly approaching camera, there seemed to be tears in Wan Chen's eyes, but he didn't seem to have tears. He took the opportunity to grab his mother's hand and asked in a low voice: "I'll take you to the county to live with my sister? I... ...I'll make money and treat you."

Qin Yue stared at the delicate and moving face on the big screen.

Suddenly remembered that Wang Chen's parents seemed to have been seriously ill like this when his own career was on the rise.At that time, he was in Beijing and was tied up by two TV drama projects, so he couldn't keep up, and Wang Chen's parents didn't want to see him at all.He thought irritably and self-destructively, let Wang Chen handle it by himself, those are his parents, if even Wang Chen can't handle it well, what's the use of him going there?

Qin Yue put a lot of money into Wang Chen's account, and contacted the doctor through his relationship, so that Wang Chen could pick up the second elder to Beijing for treatment at any time.

But until Wang Chen called to report the funeral, his parents never came.

Qin Yue couldn't help thinking, what was Wang Chen like back then?

Is it just like the person on the screen, who is so weak that he is vulnerable to a single blow, and is so hurt by reality that it is difficult to even squeeze out a smile.

But he just moved his lips, twitched his eyelashes, and comforted the people around him with his hard-working and steady voice?

With his mother on his back, Qiao Li walked out of the ravine step by step, and was sent to the residence of his sister and brother-in-law in the county seat.

The couple who were reluctant at first, when they heard that Qiao Li was going to go abroad to work hard with the "brother Dao Zi" from the same village, they immediately beamed with joy and promised to take good care of their mother (mother-in-law), as long as they asked Qiao Li to send money back on time.

"Brother Dao Zi" has become a mythical existence in their village, following Brother Dao Zi, anyone can get rich.

So, Qiao Li got on the road like this.

Take the plane, transfer to the train.

Director Gao Siyuan used a few fast moving shots to bring Qiao Li from the dry desert to the water city of Venice where the gondolas were rickety.

The background sound of the screen is noisy Italian, the audience can't understand it, and Qiao Li naturally can't understand it.

Different from the previous pictures of scorching sun and exploding coyote smoke, the Venice in the camera, the sprawling sky and water sources, and the row upon row of buildings are all gray, gentle but gloomy.

There is no loud and clear Xintianyou here, the primitive and traditional clan atmosphere, some local people who don't say a word to you, and eyes full of scrutiny, temptation, and even teasing.

This is a foreign country, another world.

From primitive to modern, it seems that a plane has taken Qiao Li to a place where he cannot survive independently.

The popular man suddenly fell silent, looking around with vigilant eyes.

The plot of the story does not have too many ups and downs. Gao Siyuan used the shots in this movie very restrainedly, leading the audience to play a cold bystander in many cases, not only showing them the beauty of Venice as a tourist city, but also letting them see the beauty of Venice as a tourist city. They saw Qiao Li struggling to survive here as a foreigner.

He lives in a narrow attic, and his ears are filled with buzzing languages ​​that he usually doesn't understand.I got up at dawn and went to work on the construction site. I only had a half-hour lunch break. After eating a cold sandwich, I went back to building the building.The characteristics of Venice's water city mean that there are not too tall commercial buildings here, but the construction of local residents and tourist facilities is indispensable.

Brother Daozi's construction team has already made a name for itself here, and the euros that Qiao Li gets get thicker every month.

He called home, and only when he talked about money could he hear his sister's earnest concern.

But Qiao Li didn't care about this, he kept asking: "How is Mom?"

The camera then goes back to the county town, the elderly mother is strapped with various medical equipment, the sister numbly delivers three meals, communicates indifferently, and occasionally takes her grandson for a walk, the old lady's face is rare Show a little joyful smile.

The old lady also asked, "How is your brother?"

My sister said: "I have made a lot of money, and it's all for filial piety, so don't worry."

Qiao Li's mother was really relieved, and when she closed her eyes again, she fell asleep forever.

And Qiao Li didn't know all this.

Venice also had sunny days. He sat on the boat and went to the next construction unit.

Brother Daozi revealed intentionally or unintentionally that he wanted to support him, to be a foreman with him, and to participate in the overall project.

Qiao Li was a little unconfident, "I don't even speak Italian."

"Learn, you live here, you deal with Italians every day, and you quickly learn it, I am." Brother Daozi took a cigarette in his mouth, and then gave one to Qiao Li, and took the opportunity to look at him, "You Is mom better?"

Qiao Li's eyes flashed blankly for a moment, and he said: "My sister said, it's fine, but I need to be hospitalized, and the hospitalization costs a lot."

Brother Daozi was relieved when he heard that, as if he expected Qiao Li to follow him, he patted his knee, "Follow brother, this place suits you."

Is it suitable?

Qiao Li looked up at the water in the distance.

Because they moved to a new construction site, they would pass by the Bridge of Sighs every day.

He asked Brother Zi why the bridge was called Sigh, but Brother Daozi didn't know, he just said: "People who pass by are worried, and everyone who comes here sighs, so it's called the Bridge of Sighs."

Qiao Li sighed lightly.

The young man followed the swaying range of the gondola, swayed his body slightly, and drifted with the flow, as if he could not control his life.

The camera pans slowly, transitioning to Qiao Li's frontal close-up, Wan Chen's eyes are full of hesitation. So hollow.

The audience understands—he wants to go back. The interspersed dream fragments of the hero are all about his childhood with his mother. He misses his mother so much and is eager to repay her. It is this kind of emotional restraint. Qiao Li made him have to stay in Venice, a place where he was not happy at all, and struggled to survive.

It's all about money.

Staring at this look and expression, for some reason, Qin Yue's heart seemed to be pricked by a needle suddenly.

Although Wan Chen's face was different from the one in Qin Yue's memory, this appearance seemed to be carved out of the same mold.

Qin Yue remembered the quarrel that broke out when the two had just been together for more than a year.At that time, Wang Chen was about to graduate and wanted to be an actor. Qin Yue disagreed with everything, and when he was the most angry, he cursed an ugly sentence, "Don't tell me that you are with me just to be famous!"

After that sentence, Wang Chen froze. He couldn't believe that Qin Yue would think of him so much, but his first reaction was not self-reflection, but reflection.

Could it be that he really behaved so utilitarianly?

Wang Chen couldn't even convince himself. After all, Qin Yue had money and contacts all over the world. If he followed Qin Yue, if he wanted to be famous, he would naturally have countless ways.

So he was finally discouraged, stopped arguing with Qin Yue, honestly accepted the first film after graduation, and became an executive director.After working as an executive director for two years, he began to take on his own projects.

Although many scripts and investment projects are approved by Qin Yue's company, Qin Yue said that if you make movies and start your own business with your own ability, how can you count as "relying on me for food"?

Only then did Wang Chen feel at ease.

Qin Yue was also young and energetic at the time, and realized that what he said hurt others, but he also knew that Wang Chen loved him dearly, and if he coaxed him carefully after the quarrel, his lover would still be his lover.His goal was achieved because of these words. Wang Chen never said anything about wanting to be an actor. The two came out in front of their parents and friends logically, and became an admirable couple well-known in the small circle. couple.

Therefore, although Qin Yue felt guilty, he never explained it for himself.He didn't doubt that Wang Chen wanted to be famous, even if Wang Chen wanted to, he was actually willing to give him those resources.

At this moment, looking at the screen, such an expression appeared on Wan Chen's face, all the mistakes he made in his youth flooded into Qin Yue's mind in an instant.

He grabbed the hand of the person next to him, pulled the back of Wang Chen's hand to his lips and kissed it gently.

In the dark auditorium, Wang Chen cast a surprised glance.

Qin Yue didn't speak, just held Wang Chen like this.

He was embarrassed to say that he felt distressed, and he knew that Wang Chen's acting was fake for that expression and that demeanor.

But once looking back on the years the two had passed, Qin Yue felt guilty and didn't know what to do.

How nice Wang Chen is.

How much wronged did Wang Chen suffer after following him?

Many self-righteous "means" when I was young, in retrospect now, are nothing more than soft knives stabbed out by Wang Chen's soft heart and infatuation.

He triumphantly tied this person by his side, but is he happy?How many bifurcations in life have I endured silently and blankly in places I don't know, and dare not make choices based on my own heart?

In the picture, "Qiao Li" is leaning against the window of the attic, and the intermittent light flashes across his face, reflecting a pair of empty and struggling eyes.

This is a close-up long shot. In Gao Siyuan's previous works, it is rare to temper the emotions in a movie through such a way of purely testing the acting skills of actors.After all, in a commercial film, what the audience wants to see is enjoyment, not such a cold exposure of people's inner feelings.

It's a pretty brutal shot indeed.

Wan Chen's gaze was projected on the world outside the window frame, but the audience could understand it. He was looking at the water in Venice, but he was thinking about his home in yellow sand and mud thousands of miles away.

This look touched the emotions of many "Beipiao people" present. Who could not "think" that they are wandering alone and working hard for their families and relatives?Who can not be so lonely but brave, when he fights himself in his heart but still remains silent?

An explosive scene ensues.

Qiao Li finally made up his mind and called home to explain that he would stay in Venice and would not go back in the short term.

He made a request to his sister, "I want to have a word with Mom."

My elder sister is busy moving into a new home in the city with her brother-in-law. The old mother has long passed away and turned into a handful of ashes under the tombstone. Who can talk to Qiao Li?

My sister said perfunctorily, "Mom is recuperating in the hospital. If you have anything to say, come back and tell me."

"I can't go back, sister, I beg you, I just want to say a few words to my mother... I want to ask her if she's okay, my mother hasn't talked to me for so long, she misses me!"

The elder sister was guilty, but deliberately bluffed, "She misses you? Who is serving mom in the hospital? Who cooks three meals a day and sends them to mom? Does she miss you? Is it useful to miss you? What a waste of money, who will accompany and talk to mom in the hospital? You think of mom at this moment, the hospital has long stopped letting people in, want to talk to mom? If you have the ability, fly back!"

"I can't go back!! I can't go back!" Qiao Li suddenly cried and roared, "I have to make money, I want to treat my mother, how can I go back, sister, I just want to hear my mother's voice, Please, help me..."

"If I help you, who will help me? I have to take care of my mother at the top, and I have to take care of your nephew at the bottom. Is it too late for me? You earn your money. If you pay the bill late, I will pull out your mother's trachea. You Don't even think about seeing him in this life!"

The phone was cut off suddenly, and Qiao Li's breathing seemed to be cut off by someone stepping on it.

He was a man who stood upright, and suddenly fell to the ground weakly, holding the mobile phone in his arms, wanting to cry, tears streaming down his face, he opened his mouth to wail, but he couldn't make a sound.

He is so homesick, he can't go back to his home, and he misses his family members.

But he couldn't get any news.

He collapsed on the attic, the camera panned from near to far, and the person curled up on the floor finally shrank into a gray dot.

The faint cry is still in the background sound, but the camera is far away.

On the mainland, his sister took his money and sent her son to a better school.

On this side of the mainland, Qiao Li wiped away his tears and packed his bags. It was another busy day at the construction site.

"Learn Italian." Brother Daozi advised him, "If you learn it, you can earn more money."

Qiao Li was a little dazed, "Let's learn, let's learn... Home, how do you say it in Italian?"

"Famiglia."

A gondola swayed across the Bridge of Sighs.
