dear dreamer

This time Chen Yiping received Lu Zhixia and Deng Tingge in a serious manner.He gave them both a general introduction to the plot of "Long Yuan", which was no different from what Deng Tingge guessed when he was listening.

The film mainly revolves around this young poet whose pen name is "Jiu Yuan".The process of his becoming famous, the experience of meeting and falling in love with his fiancée, and the past with his best friend guiding the country under the night light are all narrated in the script.Tortured, he finally committed suicide by burning charcoal.Although he was wearing shabby clothes, he was neat and tidy, and his half-shaved hair was combed carefully with a wooden comb with missing teeth.He lay down on the bed and fell asleep, with a photo of his fiancée and a letter from his best friend in his arms, and ended his life as gracefully as possible.

"In fact, Jiu Yuan has a prototype." Chen Yiping said, flipped through the character introduction sheet, pointed to a name and said, "Zhu Baihua, this is what I saw in their county annals when I was collecting materials in the township six years ago." A person who came to me. This translator in history was called Zhu Lu, who was 34 years old when he died, and died when his ribs were broken while he was trampled on during the criticism meeting."

Chen Yiping's tone was calm and quiet, without sadness or anger.

"The county chronicles are not very detailed. I can only visit the old people who are still alive one by one, and dig out the available information from them." Chen Yiping looked at the reactions of the two actors in front of him, and seemed satisfied. What is the reason for your interest? In Zhu Lu’s brief introduction, he mentioned that he once translated a book called "Cage and Freedom". All the Chinese versions of this philosophical work that are now circulating in the world are signed by another famous translator. name. But when Zhu Lu died, the translator was even just born."

His tone finally became a little excited.

"What does this mean? He may be a genius, a genius who was born in the wrong era. In the era of the last century, Zhu Lu actually translated a philosophical work in German without leaving any traces in history. , This is an incredible thing." He paused, "But if it was placed at that time, it would not be difficult to understand."

Chen Yiping noticed the possible hidden story behind Zhu Lu, so he kept looking for things related to Zhu Lu.During this process, the screenwriters and directors of the "Long Time" crew slowly gathered together.

Finally, they found a well-hidden German dictionary in Zhulu's nephew's house.Zhu Lu has written words on every page of this dictionary, which is actually his diary.The old man didn't know the importance of this dictionary, but told them that when Zhu Lu was involved in current affairs, he was still very young. He found this dictionary under Zhu Lu's bed while playing, and thought that all his uncle's books had been stolen. After copying it away and burning it, he hurriedly dug a hole and hid it quietly, hoping to return it to his uncle when he came home.However, this collection lasted for decades.

It was also in this diary that Chen Yiping discovered Jiu Yuan's name.

Zhu Lu repeatedly mentioned that he knew a young poet and his fiancée.He affectionately called him "Jiu Yuan" in his diary, and most of the records after he met him mentioned him and his beautiful and lovely fiancée Yang Chunxia.They chat together, go out to play together, and visit friends together.And sometimes some German words and sentences that Chen Yiping couldn't understand appeared in the diary, and they couldn't translate them, so they found professional translators to translate them into Chinese one by one.

What Zhu Lu wrote in a language that others can't understand is all about his longing for another "him".

"It's raining today. I don't know if his home is safe. I don't know if Xia remembers that he is afraid of the cold."

"Seeing him again at last. I'm very happy and happy, but I should know it was wrong."

"The world is getting more and more chaotic. But when I think of him, I feel that there is still some peace in my life, so that I won't suffer too much, and I won't be destroyed by fear."

……

However, Zhu Lu died two months later.A few days after his death, Jiu Yuan's fiancée Yang Chunxia accidentally fell down while working, and was smashed to the point of bleeding, and died before Jiu Yuan arrived.On the tenth day after Zhu Lu's death, Jiu Yuan tidied himself up, slept peacefully on the ground paved with straw and stopped breathing.

Deng Tingge's heart felt stuffy and he couldn't breathe.Lu Zhixia sat beside him silently, sucking his nose.

What Chen Yiping found was Zhu Lu's story, but Zhu Lu's story was too sensitive to be filmed and broadcast.After discussing with the screenwriters, Chen Yiping decided to switch to Jiu Yuan as the main subject, to hide Zhu Lu's feelings for Jiu Yuan as much as possible, to change the cause of Zhu Lu's death, and to use the long foreshadowing in front of the film as the foreshadowing of the cruelty revealed at the last moment. .

After the two left yesterday, Chen Yiping and the screenwriter team have moved to other places where it is easier to modify the script directly. They spent the whole night deleting and editing all the overly sensitive content in the script.The script handed over to Deng Tingge and Lu Zhixia is already the last version.The story is all about the love story between Jiu Yuan and Yang Chunxia, ​​and the translator named Zhu Baihua has only become an important supporting role in this movie.

"Zhu Lu...No, Zhu Baihua. I'd better call him the characters in the script. We just need to know his feelings for Jiu Yuan in our hearts, and we can't express it so directly." Chen Yiping clicked on the script in front of him, "Now I have explained all the situation to you clearly. I am the director of this movie, and I am also the producer. I must make it and make it well. Xiao Deng, Zhixia, your roles They are Jiu Yuan and Yang Chunxia respectively. Do you still have any questions about this story? If you find it difficult to accept or perform, please let me know immediately.”

Both shook their heads.

"This story requires you to make up a lot of lessons." Chen Yiping took out a few sheets of paper from the drawer, "Familiarize yourself with the script first, and then tell me about your understanding of the script. You should try to read all the books listed above. Useful."

Deng Tingge took the paper and found that it was a handwritten list of books, and there were also the names of some documents, all of which were listed in detail on the paper.

"If there's no problem, then I'll go through the process here. Zhixia's agent has already informed me, and I'll tell Zhong Xing about you later."

Chen Yiping gestured to end the meeting, but Deng Tingge caught him and asked a question.

"Who will play Zhu Baihua?"

"Yan Fei." Chen Yiping said, "Originally Huanshi sent Qiu Yang over... Do you know Qiu Yang?"

Lu Zhixia: "Of course I know!"

Deng Tingge: "...I don't know."

Chen Yiping lit another cigarette: "He's not bad. It's a pity that he's too young, which doesn't match Zhu Baihua's age. You all know Yan Fei, the one who filmed the leading actor in "Slender Horse Xifeng" and won the Best Actor Award." The protagonist's award."

On the way back, Deng Tingge bought a few more gossip magazines and newspapers, flipped through them, and probably got a little impression of the two people Chen Yiping mentioned.He knew that he had to make up lessons: it was enough for this embarrassing thing to happen once, and there must be no second time.Deng Tingge still has hope in his heart that one day he can stand on the stage of drama again, but the circle he is familiar with has indeed gradually become distant.

Back in Zhong Xing's studio, I met Zhong Xing's assistant making tea in the tea room.The kettle was gurgling, and the girl told him not to go in. "The boss and Fang Zhongyi are inside." She said, "I guess they are going to reconcile again." The same-sex couples that Deng Tingge has seen around him are just that one. Even though the repeated tossing made people speechless, he couldn't hold back his curiosity.

"Do they often do this?" Deng Tingge asked.

The assistant looked full of gossip but couldn't express the grief and indignation: "It's quite often. The boss is very soft-hearted. Fang Zhongyi will forgive him after a few times of apology. Hey, don't ask me, I can't say anymore. You go to the "Entertainment Eight" Check out the 17th issue of "Dian File" last year and the 9th issue at the beginning of this year."

Deng Tinge: "...awesome."

The two chatted for a while.Deng Tinge finally drank the brewed tea this time.Before the assistant came in with the tea, Fang Zhongyi walked out first.He looked up and saw the two people in the corridor, looking a little surprised.At the same time, Deng Tingge also remembered the process of his dispute with Zhong Xing.The two glanced at each other, and Fang Zhongyi said, "I put your umbrella at the front desk. Thank you."

"You're welcome." Deng Tingge saw that his body was still covered with moisture, but his energy was much better, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Zhong Xing came out, leaning against the door and said slowly, "Let's go, I'll find you when I'm free."

His spirit is also very good.

Fang Zhongyi looked back at him, with an inexplicable attachment in his eyes.

"Go back first." Zhong Xing said in a soft voice, "Take a bath, have a meal, and have a good sleep."
