Deficit

The moment Lu You hung up the phone, he heard Tu Qianmo's knock on the door.Or, it's not a good sign, he thought.

Tu Qianmo pushed open the door, somewhat surprised, he didn't see Lu You kneeling in the predetermined corner, readying the cane to wait for his harsh reprimand.However, he has always been conceited, and he is absolutely assured of the deterrent power of the family law.There's a reason for that, Cardy's youngest director thought.

"I'm sorry, teacher." Lu You lowered his head and raised his head again. In his eyes was the unique stubbornness of young people, the indelible light of time, the indelible experience, and the reckless light.Even though his posture is so humble, his tone is more sincere than ever.

"I think you will give me an explanation." Tu Qianmo was still as determined, as anyone knew, he was a man with such a strong desire to control.

"My brother, he was seriously injured and hospitalized." Lu You didn't intend to procrastinate, and he didn't think that Tu Qianmo had time to listen to his long speech.

Tu Qianmo nodded, "When did it happen?"

Lu You pursed his lower lip with some self-blame, "Xichen called and asked me for a day, but I didn't receive it." He didn't explain too much, but Tu Qianmo must know that the so-called not receiving it was because What.Recalling that he had been looking for Lu You all morning yesterday, Tu Qianmo's gaze was very stern, "At any time, make sure that people who care about you can find you." Even if it was an order, there was some warmth in it.

"Yes. Lu You has already learned a lesson." It was probably Lu Jia's matter that made Lu You uneasy, and his tone was not at all like the kind of little white rabbit who was hugged in his arms and twisted his ears to smooth his fur. "Lu You hope, you can ask for leave."

"Where is it?" Tu Qianmo's questions were always straight to the point.

"Xinghai. Xichen—my friend has already made arrangements for me." Only then did Lu You realize that he was not qualified to let Tu Qianmo know who Xichen was.The director of Kadi's production department, who is busy with everything, doesn't need to know the name of a newcomer who has only played three small supporting roles. If it were Lu You's only friend, he didn't dare to think about it.Moreover, his current mind is not here.

"Leave is allowed. However, Xinghai is only allowed to visit after three o'clock in the afternoon." Tu Qianmo said.Of course, as an aristocratic hospital, people with a little authority don't need to make an appointment to visit at any time.However, Lu You is obviously not in this range.

"Thank you, teacher." Lu You lowered his head, looking like he could be bullied by anyone.

Tu Qianmo hesitated for a moment, could it be that he didn't hear what he meant?On Xinghai's side, if he said hello, Lu You should be able to go directly to see people right now.And obviously, judging by his face, he wished he could fly over immediately.

But Tu Qianmo also knew that with Lu You's current injury, if he entered Xinghai, the nurse might not be able to tell who was the one who needed to be treated.

"Since we are going out tomorrow, rattan, let's write it down first." Tu Qianmo sighed lightly.

"Ah? Thank you teacher!" Lu You was obviously flattered by this extra benefit.

But Tu Qianmo walked over, and pressed Lu You who was standing there on the bed, pulled down his trousers, revealing his scarred buttocks, "Pa!", and gave him a warning slap, " Any time you disregard my orders, you will pay the price."

"Yes." Even if it only made Lu You sweat, Tu Qianmo's action to help him lift his trousers was too gentle, and, after all, he was hopelessly grateful for that obvious understanding.

Tu Qianmo raised his head and looked at the watch. The clock is standard in every disciple's room, "I'll give you 5 minutes to rest and refresh yourself, and then, the audio-visual room."

"Yes," Lu You was somewhat, inexplicably anxious, and also, fearful.He hadn't slept for a whole day and night, and thought that without the cane, he could at least close his eyes a little.When he thought of this, he indulged for a second, touched his lower eyelid with his upper eyelid, opened his eyes, organized his thoughts, and stopped saying a word.

"Teacher." When Tu Qianmo walked in, Liu Jie was already waiting respectfully.

Tu Qianmo pointed to his usual table, "Sit down."

Liu Jie knew that Lu You would come soon, and as a half of the judges, he could have a seat.It's just that the teacher doesn't know where to sit.

When Lu You entered the audio-visual room again, Tu Qianmo was already sitting in the seat that belonged to Meng Tongtong. Finally, Liu Jie was a little embarrassed and stood up in the name of habit.

He was used to one sentence, but only two words were deeply rooted in Tu Qianmo's heart. In the past, when those children who came to audition came in, Meng Tongtong just sat and examined them one by one, and Liu Jie stood aside as an assistant. , is also learning.It's just that now is obviously not the time to remember.Tu Qianmo understands better than anyone else that, as the director of the production department, the lingering scenes of sorrow and sorrow are only used to exchange for a lot of money, instead of crying like a baited teenage girl, and then Buy big bags of paper towels.

"Hello teacher, hello brother." It sounded like an abrupt greeting, but in such an atmosphere, Tu Qianmo and Liu Jie were both judges and spectators, and Lu You really looked like an interviewer.

Seeing him standing on the open space in front of the table, Tu Qianmo cut straight to the point, "You read "Old Knowing" yesterday. I called you here today. It just so happens that Ajie is here too—" He nodded slightly, and Liu Jie The previous step handed him a piece of A4 printing paper, Lu You looked at the scenes and lines on the paper, and heaved a sigh of relief.Only now did he realize that he was called here for a test play.

There are only three lines of lines.

"I'm back."

"I am back."

"came back."

The story of "Old Knowing" is not complicated. The art technique of line drawing tells the life of the protagonist Zhuo Wu.

Zhuo Wu and Qin Yang are two brothers who grew up together, but with the same background, they have completely different destinies.The first scene at the beginning of the film is Zhuo Wu and Qin Yang standing on the high grain heap and urinating, because Zhuo Wu did not urinate as far and as long as Qin Yang, so after losing the game, he went to The villagers are stealing corn from the fields, but Qin Yang, who is in charge, suddenly meets a stranger who is asking for directions.After all, it was because the child was timid and he had a ghost in his heart. The person who asked for directions had only half-spoken, and Qin Yang ran away in fright.As soon as he ran, the farmers guarding the corn field were alarmed, and Zhuo Wu, who was breaking off a corn cob, was arrested without any accident.Zhuo Wu was sent to his parents, and was punished by his grumpy father to kneel outside the yard with a stone on top of a briquette.

The neighbors pointed at him, and the young Qin Yang hid behind the heavy wooden door full of cracks. Through the crack of the door, he looked at Zhuo Wu who was blushing. Under his thin body, the black and heavy coal bricks on top of his head were extremely heavy. Zhuo Wu's father whipped him with a sheep's whip, and the coal bricks shattered on the ground. Zhuo Wu stuck his neck and said nothing, and Qin Yang was dragged away by the ears of the mother who drove over to watch.More aunts and six wives came around to persuade or scold. Qin Yang suddenly broke free from his mother's hand and rushed back to the yard. Zhuo Wu's father's whip hit Qin Yang's waist before he could stop it.Zhuo Wu pushed him away, and the picture was a bright sunset.

As soon as the camera turned, Zhuo Wu and Qin Yang had grown up. The two of them were studying together and taking college entrance exams together. The sun was scorching in Chixia. When the two were sweating profusely in the crop field and sketching the future, Zhuo Wu was called to school.Qin Yang watched helplessly, but did not speak.When Zhuo Wu came back again, he was already holding the big red notice in his hand, and he was riding a bicycle.The bicycle was lent to him by the old class teacher who loved him the most, so that he could go home quickly to announce the good news, but Zhuo Wu came to the field first, jumped out of the car, and threw himself into Qin Yang's arms, his face fluttering with excitement. , that's exactly what he said, "I'm back!"

The story continued, Zhuo Wu passed the exam and was going to Beijing to study in university, but Qin Yang failed the exam.The two brothers who grew up together had no encouragement or comfort, but Qin Yang asked Zhuo Wu to promise that when he arrived in Beijing, he must go to *** and take a photo with Chairman Mao to bring back.

Zhuo Wu nodded, and got on the train carrying the stick noodle steamed buns made by his mother and Qin Yang's home-grown eggs.

Zhuo Wu, who arrived in Beijing, worked very hard. He was determined to be a leader since he was a child, and he worked even harder. He is not the kind of kid who only knows how to study hard, and he has also joined many student organizations.Zhuo Wu, who walked out of the mountain village, seemed to have seen the real world. He was very active and radical in his teenage years.His natural leadership and sense of responsibility made him a leader in a well-known but secretive event.

In June of that year, Qin Yang had a nightmare.He dreamed of Zhuo Wu, Zhuo Wu was more powerful than when he was in the village, leading a group of students, each with a youthful face, each of them was young and frivolous who could never go back.

Sure enough, something went wrong.

Qin Yang was in a hurry. He was going to Beijing to find Zhuo Wu. He said that Zhuo Wu had promised to take a photo with Chairman Mao on the Internet.

When Lu You watched this passage, for some reason, he felt unspeakably moved.Such a real piece of history, even though, with his age and vision, he shouldn't have known so much.

Dong Juncheng is a director who knows how to measure. The handling of this episode is very subtle. All the shots focus on Qin Yang's waiting and anxiety.In an era when information is absolutely blocked and unequal, the only consolation or shock is rumors.

Some people said that Zhuo Wu was arrested, others said that Zhuo Wu died.Zhuo Wu's parents were ordinary farmers, looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally a golden phoenix flew out of the chicken coop, but their son became a counter-revolutionary.

Zhuo Wu's father was banging a cigarette pot on the old wooden table, and said bitterly that he should have killed this bastard when he was a child. Three generations of old Zhuo's family were poor peasants, and there was such a capitalist roader!

But Qin Yang packed his bags, he was going to Beijing, he was going to find Zhuo Wu, and it was Zhuo Wu's younger sister, Zhuo Wen, who secretly sent him to the entrance of the village.So, in his rucksack, there are also stick noodle steamed buns from their hometown.

When Zhuo Wen said with red eyes that Brother Qin Yang was careful, a person suddenly turned out on the small road at the entrance of the village. It was Zhuo Wu who was scolded as a counter-revolutionary by the whole village. His nose was still so straight, and his eyes were still so Liang, even though the white gauze on his head was so dirty that he couldn't tell the color, he was still neat and cheerful.He strode over against the light, and put the photo he had taken long ago into Qin Yang's shirt pocket, "I'm back."

The news from the mountain village was too late, but what Qin Yang gave was the truth.

Zhuo Wu was expelled from school. Fortunately, teachers and classmates helped to protect him. Those indecent things were not included in the files. However, his father, who was as strong as him, could not accept such a rebellious son. Was whipped out by the thoughtless sheep whip.The stubborn Zhuo Wu left the village for ten years.

The only thing Qin Yang has is the photo of a young smiling face flying up and down the city tower.

Zhuo Wu, who left the small village, has been a gangster and prison, taught students to swim in the sea, and even became the mayor's secretary in the end.Dong Juncheng is a director who is good at telling stories, and every experience of Zhuo Wu corresponds to a change more or less.The ups and downs of Zhuo Wu's life really made every audience feel ups and downs. The characters' experiences are too legendary, and their fates are too unpredictable. What runs through Zhuo Wu's life seems to be the growing China, as if it is the one who is always exploring. era.All of these endow the film with strong practical significance and depth, enough for students from countless film schools to dig into it as a graduation thesis.But what shocked Meng Tongtong the most was the meaningful and misty ending of "Old Knowing".

After many years, Zhuo Wu returned to the small village, with some ruthless secretary Zhuo conveying the spirit of the mayor at the wine table, saying that the government will fund the road construction.The village head and party secretary took turns to toasting and praised him for his youth and promise.In the torrent of reform and the tide of the economy, the dirt road in the small village that left his footprints when he was young was re-leveled. Zhuo Wu returned to the village half a month later, but on the way he met a fierce woman standing on the side of the road and jumping. The foot scolded the village head secretary for digging people's ancestral graves, and the head of the village quickly scolded the head of the village for calling his man to come and take the crazy woman away.From her yelling and cursing, Zhuo Wu heard that the widening of the road would force his man to relocate his grave, and he was thinking about it, but he saw a big and strong man who came earlier and dragged his wife away.Over there Zhuo Wu just picked up the cigarette that the mayor lit, while the man over there was thrown off by the arm that was being dragged by the woman, and he just turned his head and looked at each other.The partner of his youth is already blurry now, but there are many things that don't need to be seen with eyes.

"Qin Yang?" Zhuo Wu called out.

Qin Yang looked at Zhuo Wu, the years were too cruel.For ten years, he missed Zhuo Wu's sister and Zhuo Wu's life, and even the cropland they used to hang out together, because the villagers thought it was not profitable to grow food, they planted fruit trees instead. Under the sun of oiled big sesame cakes, Qin Yang only said three words, "I'm back."

At this point, the film came to an abrupt end.

Lu You watched the film all night and had to say that the three sentences Liu Jie picked out were too difficult.

He originally thought that he would only ask himself to try Zhuo Wu's scene, it might be the raving that Zhuo Wu made when he was in prison, or it might be the tactful socializing at the wine table when he was the mayor's secretary.I have to say that "Old Knowing" is a very cruel film. A young man who has never bowed his head in front of the state machine, even though he was forced to teach in a border town with nowhere to go, still regrets because he cannot bring the most authentic history to the students. The young man who resigned angrily, even when he was in prison, used his fists to beat the man from the position closest to the urinal to the man on the sleeping bed, and in the end, all the edges and corners were smoothed by life.Zhuo Wu's experience of teaching, going to sea, going to prison, and being a businessman are all highlights, especially on the night when there was only thunder but no rain, Zhuo Wu had just caught up with an important government official through a girl dancer, but unexpectedly learned that his high school head teacher had passed away , the teacher who still regarded him as the most proud student even when the whole village was ostracizing him and spurning him, the arrogant old man who always thought that Zhuo Wu would have a future, the news of his death, amidst the feasting and feasting, slapped him hard Zhuo Wu slapped him across the face.In that part, the actors of "Old Knowing" performed very well. On the one hand, they had a deep teacher's kindness, and on the other hand, they were drunk and rich. Such entangled emotions were well expressed by the photographer and the actors. It may be this paragraph.Unexpectedly, Liu Jie gave three seemingly irrelevant words today.Moreover, these three sentences are not completely Zhuo Wu's lines, he knows that this is a test.It is very time-consuming for an actor to fully enter the role. Although the old actors enter the play quickly, it is harsh for a newcomer to enter and exit the play in just one minute.

Tu Qianmo didn't give him any time to think at all, only three words, "Have you finished reading?"

Lu You didn't dare to hesitate any longer, "Yes."

"Let's get started." No doubt.

Lu You put down the paper in his hand.When he turned around again, even Tu Qianmo was a little stunned, without any lights and makeup, Lu You seemed to be another person.

"I'm back!"

His voice was loud and cheerful, full of pride and excitement that he couldn't wait to share the good news with his good friends.What Lu You tried was the scene where Zhuo Wu jumped off the bicycle and threw himself on Qin Yang.Lu You didn't own a bicycle, and this audio-visual room was by no means a wheat field in the 80s, and Liu Jie didn't even come to help him with the play.Even though they are also young and vigorous, Lu You and Zhuo Wu are completely two people.But when he read that line, Tu Qianmo suddenly returned to that raging era.

Lu You, who was wounded on his body, noticed very carefully that his feet were caught on the crossbeam when he jumped off the bicycle for a moment, and because Zhuo Wu's most respected teacher asked him to ride this bicycle, Lu You even compared it to the original film. There is also a careful handling in the middle, that is, after making the gesture of falling down and hugging, subconsciously took another look at the virtual bicycle that did not exist at all on the ground, and let out a long sigh of relief.

Tu Qianmo was very satisfied with this detail.

After all, bicycles were too expensive in those days.

Tu Qianmo looked at Lu You who fell on the ground, and at this moment, he had got up again.There were still terrible injuries on his buttocks and legs, and his entire face was covered with sweat because of the force he threw down just now.

In the rural areas of the 80s, when a student who had studied hard for more than ten years received his admission letter, he expressed his feelings too well. Thinking of the joy and joy he performed so aptly, Tu Qianmo suddenly felt a little distressed.When Lu Youke was 15 years old, he dropped out of school to sell himself as Kadi. He was so excited when he received the admission letter that he might never have it again.

Lu You wiped his sweat with his sleeve, because he simulated the action of fighting with Qin Yang on the ground alone, using the way that adolescent children use to share joy and think they belong to men.He rolled too hard, the injury behind him was screaming with an intensity that was completely beyond his ability to bear, and his legs, which seemed to be much better after a short period of training, trembled even more.

Tu Qianmo turned to look at Liu Jie, "How is it?"

Just two words, Lu You's body froze instantly, and the pain in his whole body seemed to be frozen.

Opposite him at the moment, one is a world-class actor who is known as a must-answer question for the film festival, and the other is the director of the production department who has trained and filtered countless artists.He didn't have any ability, nor any qualifications, to question their eyes, but he was so looking forward to it, even if it wasn't a compliment, he only needed a look of approval.

Liu Jie's voice was flat, "It will be done."

Lu You's body suddenly turned cold.

Tu Qianmo repeated Liu Jie's comment, "Is it enough?"

Liu Jie bowed and said, "This is just A Jie's opinion."

Tu Qianmo smiled, "What if it's Tong Tong?"

Liu Jie lowered his head, "If it's like this, Second Senior Brother—" He hesitated, "Second Senior Brother will say, go back and read "Old Knowledge" fifty times before coming back."

Lu You blushed.At that moment, he wished he could find a crack in the ground and sneak in.Yes, it's this poorly used metaphor, I wish I could find a crack in the ground and get into it.

Although he is naive, stupid and loves to play tricks, but he dares to stand in front of Tu Qianmo, at least he has confidence in his acting and singing skills.He knows his ability and his potential. He always thinks that what he lacks is just an opportunity.Therefore, in "Evening Photo", although he is worried, although he is afraid, he is only afraid that too much force majeure will take away his extremely longing for hope, not because he is afraid that his ability will not be able to bear it. He knows better than anyone else that Tang Song It's difficult to act, but he doesn't think he won't be able to get it after hard work.What Meng Tongtong can do, he Lu You, why can't he do it!

However, I, who was once praised as a natural actor in the acting class, was rejected mercilessly in the first scene just like that.What's even more cruel is that the reason why the other party denied him was that he searched for all the details in his mind, but he still didn't know anything about it.

Tu Qianmo lazily raised his eyelashes, "I don't have time to wait for you to read it fifty times. Now, go back to sleep. At eight o'clock tomorrow night, it will still be these three paragraphs. If you don't satisfy me——"

Lu You jumped hard behind him.

But Tu Qianmo didn't say any more, turned around, started, closed the door, and walked away.
