independent filmmaker

Back at the hotel, everyone was waiting for him.

Liu Yao's eyes were red, and said: "Director Xie...I'm sorry...I..." Xie Lansheng patted her on the shoulder and said, "I'm fine, I'm fine, the police station is fun!" Tell everyone about the anecdotes of the detention center, Yu Qianzi and others call it scary, and ask the actress to go out in disguise in the future.

The noise lasted until 12:[-], Xin Ye said lightly: "Let's go, let's go back to our houses, Director Xie must want to sleep."

Xie Lansheng once again felt that Xinye was really good at taking care of others.There were 8 people in a room in the detention center. Some people snored and some woke up at night. During the two nights he was locked up, he kept waking up and didn't get a full night's sleep.

After the people left and got into the big quilt of the hotel, Xie Lan let out a long sigh of relief—so happy.I am so happy to be able to sleep in a normal bed.He used to think that it didn't matter if he was locked up for about 5 days, but the fact is that the place is simply not suitable for people to stay in, and 5 minutes is enough.

…………

For the next two days, the crew will be filming normally.

Xie Lansheng gathered the main creators together, clapped his hands, and shouted: "In order to catch up with the film judges, we must speed up! I am very, very sorry, and may have to work more overtime!"

Everyone should: "No problem!!"

The first day was a couple of interiors.After the old mother of the hero Cai Kuan found out that Cai Kuan was gay, she asked her son to marry a wife and have children so that he could return to "normalcy" and forced him to die.When his mother found the letter and thought of her son's "mother", she collapsed instantly, tearing the letter into pieces in front of Caikuan's eyes, crying loudly, and throwing the debris into the sky.

The love of "Lang Ying" shattered into pieces, falling down one after another, slipping from Caikuan's head and body to the ground bit by bit, and being stepped on by the crazy Caikuan mother with her shoes, this scene is sad and sad beautiful.Xie Lansheng's eyes were wide open, seeing those words passing by, he wanted to answer them, but he didn't dare to answer them.

The "Mother" actor is also talented, and her outburst was very shocking. The last sentence "Where is our old face!" was hoarse, sharp, and broken, which shocked every actor present.

In "Consummation", this day is the climax of the plot.

The family of three was very silent during the meal that night.At night, the male protagonist Kuan walked back to the room exhausted, sighed, and fell asleep.He didn't turn on the light, and he didn't think anything was wrong.However, just when Cai Kuan was about to close his eyes, a hand slowly reached out and touched his chest!Cai Kuan screamed "Ah", turned on the light, and found a naked woman lying under his bed!He understood everything in an instant - because Bai Tian said frankly that he had never been tempted by women, he only liked to be close to men, so his parents actually recruited prostitutes to let him know that women are good!Caikuan was really frightened, he used a pillow to block his body, and yelled: "Go! Go! Get out immediately!" The prostitute Xiaohong was disdainful, she put on her skirt slowly, twisted and walked out of the room, and walked out of the room again. Twist around and enter the living room, and said to Caikuan's parents: "Isn't he a Erjiaozi!!" After that, he took 50 yuan and left.

Caikuan's mother collapsed again, asking: "What's wrong with women!!!"

Caikuan can only be silent.This "disobedience" stimulated her, and Cai Kuan's mother suddenly yelled "I really have no face!", ran out of the gate at night, and started to climb under the nearby chimney on hands and feet, stepping on the steel strips on it. Made "steps".

As she climbed higher and higher, Cai Kuan worried that something was wrong with her and told her to come down. After failing to achieve the desired effect, she finally knelt down in the winter night and said, "I'm going to get married! Is it okay if I go to get married? Is it not possible? !"

Here the night view ends.

The next day was a few exterior scenes.

In the script, the day after the promise was made, Caikuan went to an American restaurant to listen to Li Fangfang say "important things".Li Fangfang wanted to see him, so Caikuan naturally agreed, but it took a lot of effort to slip out of the house.

He walked in the direction of the restaurant in a daze on the street.

Here, Xie Lansheng used a 600mm camera lens.During the day, the streets of Beijing are bustling and bustling. Cai Kuan walked among the crowd, but the background was completely blurred.Caikuan is wearing a red down jacket, but the faces of the people around him are blurred, and none of them are clear. They just follow Caikuan up and down up and down. This symbolizes that Caikuan is extremely lonely at the moment, and the people around him are like a sea. Caikuan is an isolated island in the sea of ​​people.

Caikuan walked into the American restaurant, and Li Fangfang had already arrived.

She asked Caikuan if she could tell the school that they were lovers, so that she would be very likely to stay in Beijing after graduation in a few days. After the 90s, the government no longer opposed dating, and even encouraged dating. If they got married right away, Li Fangfang might stay in Beijing.Li Fangfang is from the mountains, she doesn't want to go back, she wants to stay in Beijing, she said she wants to embarrass the whole family.

This idea is Xie Lansheng's personal experience when he graduated.At that time, a certain female student in their class pretended to be ambiguous and unpredictable, and told the school that she hoped to be separated from her boyfriend, but in the end she was also assigned to Hunan. She never dreamed that Xie Lansheng would ask to go to the elementary school. Factory, just to be able to film (Chapter 2).

Li Fangfang could have threatened, but she didn't want to do that. In the end, it would not look good for any of them to end up dead.

When Caikuan heard this request, his heart moved for a split second.

He said: "If we hadn't gotten married...it would be very bad for the younger brothers and younger sisters. The school might think that everyone was cheating on the assignment." He told what happened last night and asked if it was possible to get married for two years. Don't interfere, he doesn't have to pay rent.

After Caikuan finished speaking, he felt a little regretful, and asked Li Fangfang not to care, but Caikuan also said that he didn't want to help cheat the indicators, which would be too risky.

Unexpectedly, after thinking about it, Li Fangfang actually agreed to him, willing to use "marriage" in exchange.

In this year, "divorce" is not too new. There were 1900 pairs in 80, 1995 million pairs in 105.6, 1990‰ in 0.69, and 1995‰ in 0.88. Beijing was much higher.

So they started talking.

Xie Lansheng pays great attention to details.In this scene, Caikuan and Li Fangfang are sitting in front of the window together, but the window behind them is a common split type, and the iron frame in the middle of the window is just erected between them, separating the two people. for two.The chopstick holder in the foreground of the picture is also divided into two parts, and the wooden chopsticks are turned upside down, indicating that although they are going to get married, they belong to two worlds, and there is a huge gap between them.

Xie Lansheng also made arrangements for the continuous pros and cons.He asked Qi Yong to be careful in shooting, never bring Li Fangfang when the camera is shooting Caikuan talking, and never bring Caikuan when shooting Li Fangfang talking. Although the "couple" is talking, each is lonely.

Liu Yao became more and more involved.Xie Lansheng knows that in "Consummation", Li Fangfang's two men are like half of Li Xian - Caikuan is the first half who married her for the sake of his parents, and the "boyfriend" is the one who doesn't love her but has sex with her second half.

No wonder she wanted to act so much.

…………

After a few more scenes, Xie Lansheng called everyone to call it a day, and it was already one o'clock in the morning.

He went back in Xinye's car, and the two of them, Xiaohong and Xiaolu, went together, while the others wanted to make a "big hair" and look after all the equipment.

The temperature in Beijing dropped suddenly today. It rained first and then snowed. There were ice flowers on the windowpanes, which were crystal clear and lovely.Moreover, because Xie Lansheng didn't shake the passenger window on the way here, there is also a thin layer of grilles inside the glass on his side!

Xin Ye frowned, and turned on the warm air to blow the front window of the car, ignoring both sides.

"Wow," Xie Lansheng was always childish. When he saw the car's glass was scratched, he turned around on the passenger seat and rubbed the ice with his right hand.

This job was not easy, as the ice would take a long time to wear through. Xie Lansheng endured the cold, his mouth still "sizzling", and it took more than half a minute before he left his fingerprints on the window.

He took a look and was quite satisfied.

Xinye glanced at him lightly, didn't speak, only laughed.

"Xinye," Xie Lansheng felt awkward facing Shenye in the past two or three days—Cai Kuan Langying was about to "break through", he thought he could understand more things after filming, but these two days are really awkward , pretending to be serious, said: "The mainstream Chinese film industry is discussing documentaries."

"Oh?"

"That is, the extent to which documentaries are required to be true. Zhong Danian and Yang Tiancun quarreled in "Modern Communication". Zhong Danian's article is called "Re-discussion of Documentary Is Not Real". He believes that subject awareness It is inevitable that the most authentic content can also be turned into false through techniques, and unreal content can also be conveyed through techniques. As for Yang Tiancun, he published "Traditional Realism and Documentaryism Are Incompatible", emphasizing the boundaries and thinking that Realism is realism, and documentaryism is documentaryism, and the difference is clear."

"What do you think?"

"I agree more with Zhong Dainian... documentaries also need skills." Speaking of movies, Xie Lansheng became natural again, and the tension of being separated from Xinye finally disappeared.

The studio was not far from the hotel, and the road was empty. It was only 10 minutes after Xinye drove back to the hotel.

"Okay," Xin Ye gently took off the gear, "I'll park the car and get back later. It's cold, the three of you go in first."

"Okay." Xie Lansheng said, "Go to bed early, tomorrow will be like a war."

"Well, I fell asleep after reading the script."

Xie Lansheng nodded, and called Xiaohong and Xiaolu to get off the car and go back to the room.

Xin Ye drove the car into the newly built underground parking lot of the hotel, stepped on the clutch, stepped on the brakes, parked the car, took off the gear, turned off the engine, all in one go. Then, in the quiet Mercedes-Benz, he glanced at the finger prints on the passenger window Son, watched quietly, and tapped the handbrake a few times with his fingertips, finally couldn't hold back, leaned over, put his right hand on Xie Lansheng's finger prints, held his breath, pointed Move the tip, gently rubbing the edges of several finger prints, imagining, it turns out that Lan Sheng's hand is in this shape, it turns out that his index finger is so long...shorter than his own by nearly a knuckle, it turns out that he His middle finger looks like this... his ring finger... vaguely feels that his hand is holding Lan Sheng's hand.About half a minute later, Xin Ye slightly closed his eyes and let out a satisfied sigh.

He withdrew his hand and saw that there were two pieces of ice between Xie Lansheng's "fingers" that were about to fall off. He turned over the palm of his hand and picked it lightly with the nail of his index finger, and the two pieces of ice fell on his fingertips.

He crushed them with his hands and watched them turn into water. With one hand on the steering wheel and his eyes looking forward, he wiped a line on his lower lip with his watery hand, thinking about what Xie Lansheng had inadvertently shown to him. Reliance, the corners of his mouth raised, and he smiled.
