artist funeral

Among the people present were people Wen Can knew.That feeling, I didn't know that Wen Can and Dong Heng had such a good relationship.Wen Can said, no, they haven't been in touch for many years.The man didn't say anything more.

The posthumous photo of Dong Heng was chosen by himself. He did not choose a recent photo, but a half-length photo of him holding a hoe many years ago at sunset in the countryside.That was when he was filming "A Long Journey to the East". His family said that he chose this posthumous photo because he persisted in being a director for many years, never forgot his original intention, and always maintained the piety and enthusiasm of the year.

Wen Can and Dong Heng have only worked together on one movie, "A Long Journey to the East".At that time, Wen Can was still an unknown actor, and Dong Heng had just won his first award and was promoted to a first-line director in China. Dong Heng's studio took the initiative to contact Wen Can, saying that Dong Heng had appointed him to act in the ongoing film Wen Can did not immediately agree to the new film that was being filmed, and asked to reply after reading the script. The other party was surprised, but did not say anything, and sent the script directly.

After reading the script, Wen Can couldn't calm down for a long time. He knew that if he took over the play, he might end his current embarrassing life as a supporting role, and he was about to make it through.This is an ambitious play, and he is not sure if he is fully capable, but he has the urge to challenge.So he met Dong Heng.

By chance, because of the opening of the preparatory work, they had a month to spend alone together. "The Long Journey to the East" tells the story of a returnee scholar who deliberately screwed up an important speech in order to go to a mountain village to teach. After entering the mountain village as he wished, he found that what he had to face was not the teaching problem, but the closed and conservative traditional Chinese countryside. The contradiction between ideology and uncivilized barbarism, from the dealings with the locals, I learned the story of saving the country with curves and realizing my educational purpose.

Many descriptions of traditional Chinese villages in the play, Dong Heng did not understand, so he spent a year living there, Dong Heng asked all the actors to live there for a period of time, don't even drive a donkey. Can't get out of the way.This is the first time Wen Can met Dong Heng. In the past, he was only seen on TV. Dong Heng seldom appeared on the show. Mostly when talking about the movies he directed, he would bring a few photos of him. A relatively low-key person.

Wen Can pushed a suitcase by herself and entered the mountain village with great difficulty. It is no exaggeration to say that it was definitely a trek.Firstly, he has no assistants, and secondly, he has no bodyguards. To be honest, even if he had bodyguards and assistants, he probably wouldn’t be able to help him too much. Fortunately, he only had one suitcase. , is also an enthusiastic heart, but this will make everyone overwhelmed.

When they met Dong Heng, Dong Heng had just returned from working in the field, carrying a hoe, and seeing them in a mess, he just said, "Let's clean up everything, it's almost time to eat."

Wen Can was taken to a family's house, which was a dilapidated old house. Dong Heng had lived there for a year at that time, and it was said that this was where the crew would gather in the future, but everyone hadn't arrived yet.

Wen Can is the leading actor, so she has to get used to life before other actors, and it will be a month before the schedule of the next person who can be there.In other words, he had to live there alone with Dong Heng.Even the assistant director who brought him had to leave the next day, when casting was still in progress.

Wen Can originally wanted to introduce herself, look at Dongheng's appearance, and then look at herself, so let's forget it, tidy up first and then talk.It is troublesome to take a bath in the mountains. Fortunately, it is hot and you can take a cold shower. If it is cold, you have to boil the water yourself, which is even more troublesome. Elegant, it really doesn't seem like he came to experience life, but his clothes are all like this, but the ones worn by Dong Heng can't be found.

He noticed that Dong Heng was wearing the clothes worn by local farmers. I checked myself, but Dong Heng didn’t ask him to dress like that. Dong Heng said that as long as he felt comfortable, he asked the local villagers These clothes are just for the convenience of farming.Dong Heng is tall and has profound features. It is not easy to find this kind of clothes, and he is a casual person, he can wear any clothes that give him his own taste.

When Wen Can and the assistant director went to clean up, Dong Heng had already prepared the meals, so they could eat quickly when they went out. The three of them were starving, so they lost the politeness and embarrassment they had when they first met, and just focused on eating.The next day, Dong Heng got up before dawn. Wen Can was with him. This was Wen Can's first time farming. There were many things he didn't understand. Dong Heng started to explain to him from the smallest details, how to hold a hoe is not easy. It takes a lot of effort, and the hands don't hurt so much after drying for a long time, but blistering is certain.

Wen Can can be regarded as a real young master.People in their twenties at that time, the most tiring thing was the sometimes irregular filming time as an actor, and it was definitely the first time that I really felt that I worked nearly ten hours a day.

He is not proficient, and his work is a bit slow. Dong Heng said that he would get used to it after a few more days of work, and then said: "It's useless to say how many skills, it's best to find out by yourself." Wen Can followed Dong Heng had been doing farm work for several days, and he didn't change his clothes, he just wore his own.After folding up the sleeves and going to the field, in fact, all the clothes are similar.

Dong Heng didn't work all the time, he carried a camera with him, and he had to walk around occasionally, and he could press the shutter at any time, some were preparing for the film, and some just wanted to press the shutter.

Wen Can has also played photography, and once went to the Himalayas to photograph snow leopards. Dongheng is good at taking pictures of scenery, while Wen Can is good at taking pictures of people and objects. The portraits taken by Wen Can have souls, and they seem to keep the best side of people It's in a photo.The posthumous photo selected by Dongheng was taken by Wen Can for him. He is very satisfied. Others only think that he took the photo because he showed his enthusiasm for the movie, but Wen Can thinks that this photo of him shows the Dongxiang's persistence is gentle.Dong Heng likes this photo very much. If his photo is needed on many occasions, he is willing to take this one out. This photo has become one of his signature photos.

At the funeral, although everyone was wearing black clothes, the atmosphere was not too heavy, because Dong Heng was not a person who liked heavy things, and he had made a last wish before he passed away: I will have no regrets in my life, and no one will be sad .
