Blooming on the ground

=====================

The lights in the auditorium are turned off and the movie begins.

It was pitch black, and the sound appeared before the picture.The sound of the pattering rain intertwined with the noisy voices of people, and the big screen lit up immediately, and the camera panned slowly from the rain-drenched city outside the window to the noisy and crowded train carriages, past all kinds of faces, and finally landed on a picture on young faces.

Guan Minghang's face was very close to the car window, staring at the unspectacular rain scene outside the window as if fascinated, and the words "Beicheng Railway Station" that were getting closer, the clear and bright eyes on the big screen were shining brightly, Reveals the infinite longing for the future.

Director Li Peiran was invited to participate in the film master dialogue forum of this film festival. At the moment, she was also sitting on the stage watching the film, and she was immediately attracted by Fang Mufeng's smart eyes—without a single line, she seemed to hear the voice of complaint.

Watching Peng Wenye's "The Day Is Burning" before, she was deeply impressed by Wu Guan's actor, so she remembered Fang Mufeng's name.Although this actor is young, his face is very complex, and his eyes are very sharp, which can withstand the test of close-up shots of his face.

As long as he appears in the screen, even if he remains silent, it can make people want to explore him for no reason.

In the following pages, Xuan Nian gave Fu Bai, played by Yan Huanchao, a large number of subjective shots, and many scenes about Guan Minghang were rendered with Fu Bai's emotional color.The audience can not only intuitively understand Fu Bai's emotional flow through Yan Huanchao's delicate performance, but also experience the story through Fu Bai's eyes and heart, and observe Guan Minghang in the story.

Before striking up a conversation for the first time, Fu Bai had silently watched Guan Minghang countless times.On the set where people come and go, no one like him enjoys himself for a long time for a trick that takes more than ten seconds to appear on the screen, practice for a long time for two lines of lines, and speak a distinct southern accent and drama management theory for a box lunch.

This person is an anomaly.

But it happened to be him, with a frown and a smile imprinted in Fu Bai's eyes, and then left an imprint in his heart, which contributed to the first contact.With the first time, there will be the second time. The two unexpectedly become tenants, living under the same roof, and slowly approaching each other.

Guan Minghang got up early in the morning to practice his lines to correct his accent. Guan Minghang talked about his ideals but sang out of tune. Looking at him silently... These lenses are equivalent to Fu Bai's eyes and heart, and Guan Minghang in his eyes and heart seems to be shining, even if he is doing ordinary actions, even if he is in a state of embarrassment, people can't move their eyes away.

Xuan Nian is very good at using the language of the camera to express the mood of the characters and hint at the development of the plot.The first half of the film is bright in tone, but it gradually dims in the second half. The once sweet love between the two also hit the rocks on the beach of life.

Guan Minghang's actor dream was frustrated, and for the first time he had deep doubts about his future.He is an unstoppable bird, eager to realize his ideal self, and never willing to be trapped in a square for the rest of his life.

On the other hand, Fu Bai was vaguely glad that Guan Minghang didn't fly too far. He wanted to keep Guan Minghang because he didn't have the confidence that Guan Minghang would fly back to him if he flew too far.

After coming to Beicheng to work hard for many years, Fu Bai still failed to achieve anything. His screenwriting dream seemed so out of reach, even his mother Ye tried hard to persuade him to give up.

He is not reconciled, he has no choice but to stay in Beicheng and continue dreaming, or go home and accept the reality. Fu Baika is stuck on this difficult problem, in a dilemma.

Until he met Guan Minghang, this person was always full of vitality, always beautiful and lovely, and inadvertently became his safe haven to escape the skinny reality.If possible, Fu Bai really wanted to just hide for the rest of his life.

However, Guan Minghang is the whole reason why Fu Bai is attached to Beicheng now, but Fu Bai has never been the purpose of Guan Minghang coming to Beicheng.

He and the easy-to-satisfy Fu Baiben are not the same people. From the beginning to the end, the two of them never understood each other.

So a breakup is the inevitable trend of the relationship between the two.

With a calm expression on his face, Guan Minghang pulled his luggage and left this place, leaving Fu Bai's world.

Once again, the camera shot closes up Fu Bo, who sat on the chair surprisingly quietly, with a blank expression, which broke my heart.After a long time, he closed his eyes and leaned on the back of the chair, like a trapped animal waiting for its wound to heal.

Guan Minghang, who left Fu Bai, walked a long way, and finally fell down in a patch of snow.He looked at the snowflakes flying in the sky expressionlessly, while the audience just looked at him, using nearly half a minute of close-up shots to witness that a tear slipped from the corner of his eye, and another piece of snow fell.

Not long after the breakup, Fu Bai left the city, looking for a stable job, shouldering the burdens of the family, and living as if he had never known Guan Minghang or been to Beicheng.

On weekends, he would drive a small electric car and drive grandma to the hospital for physical therapy.While waiting in the hospital, grandma told him about her love story when she was young, saying that when she was in the dance troupe, a young man often came to her dance performances and would send her a rose every time it ended.

"Then one day I stopped him at the door and asked him why he always gave me roses. He couldn't speak for a long time. I asked if you like me, but he blushed even more. Children are so funny. "Grandma seemed to be immersed in good memories, and she smiled very happily, "I just joked that if you send me more than 100 roses, I will marry you."

Fu Bai listened attentively and asked her, then what?

"As a result, half an hour later, he really appeared with a bosom full of roses, and he was out of breath. You know, he is still a student, and the money to buy flowers is enough for him to eat for almost a month," said grandma. He suddenly lowered his voice and murmured, "What a fool..."

"Grandpa is so romantic?" Fu Bai was curious.

Grandma smiled and shook her head, Fu Bai immediately understood, calmed down, and asked cautiously: "Then why didn't you marry him?"

"He studied geology. Once he went back to the mountains and encountered a landslide, and he was gone."

Grandma replied flatly.

Fu Bai remained silent.

"Marriage has a high probability of being unlucky. Even if the cultivation is successful, it is very likely that your grandfather and I will become a poor and humble couple."

Fu Bai turned his head, and grandma met his gaze with a smile on her face.

"There are benefits to not getting and not getting."

After sighing, grandma suddenly hummed an unknown tune.

Fu Bai leaned against the wall of the hospital, silently, maybe he was thinking, maybe he remembered something.

The movie came to an end here, and the curtain call message began to scroll on the screen.

Just when everyone thought it was about to end, the picture appeared on the big screen again.

I don’t know how many years ago, the middle-aged Fu Bai was walking on the road, passing a playground in a certain community, and saw a temporary open-air stage built there, a group of men, women and children sat in groups, as if they were watching some performance.

He was not interested, turned around and was about to leave, but just as he took a step, he heard a familiar voice again.

Then, at the end of the crowd's line of sight, he saw Guan Minghang - he was working hard on the show.

Many years ago, Fu Bai built a crude stage for Guan Minghang in a narrow rental house, saying that he would always watch him like this.

Many years later, Guan Minghang has his own stage and audience, and Fu Bai is still watching him from the audience.

After all, Guan Minghang failed to realize his so-called dream of being an actor, and Fu Bai also failed to stay with his favorite person.However, now Guan Minghang is still doing his favorite drama selflessly on stage, but Fu Bai has long been unable to say whether he likes it or not.

It's a pity but it's not a pity that it's not him and him on the stage.

Fu Bai stopped to look at it for a long time, and finally smiled, seemingly relieved, as if mocking himself, then turned and left, and walked out of the painting frame.

He saw him in the crowd, that was the beginning and the end.

I used to be as hot as fire with you, and finally returned to zero.

This is the whole story.

Leaving aside the strong and unique lens language and music with a personal style, the plot of "Zero Celsius" is not complicated. To put it bluntly, it is a story about understanding each other after losing, about self-realization and relationship, gain and loss.

This may be the story of Guan Minghang and Fu Bai, or it may be the countless stories of you and me.

The pictures in front of him were one after another, and Fang Mufeng kept looking at them intently, not letting go of any shot.

As a person in the play and a spectator, he has mixed feelings in his heart, like Guan Minghang recalling his love and dreams following the movie, and like Fang Mufeng as an actor reviewing his own performance.

At the end of the film, he entered the scene, and finally burst into tears uncontrollably.

Almost at the same time, someone held his hand tightly, and for a moment he felt wrapped in soft emotions.

The auditorium went dark again, and the lights were turned on after a few seconds.

The venue was quiet, and everyone seemed to be immersed in the movie and hadn't reacted yet. First, a few people took the lead in applauding, but the applause was sparse, and then the audience was thunderous.

Applause poured in like a tidal wave. Fang Mufeng sat in his seat in a daze, feeling an extremely unreal feeling in his heart. For a moment, he even felt that he was still in the role. This was the curtain call of Guan Minghang's play.

Until Yan Huanchao pulled him up, and whispered to his ear: "What are you doing, this applause is for you, Fang Mufeng."

After a brief disconnection, Fang Mufeng came back to his senses and looked around.Headed by the chairman of the jury, all the audience stood up and applauded to pay tribute to all the main creators of the film, and the applause lasted for a long time.

Xuan Nian led the entire team to bow to everyone, or shake hands with the surrounding moviegoers, thanking them for their patience in watching.

Li Peiran crossed the crowd and took the initiative to walk up to Fang Mufeng. He first shook hands with Yan Huanchao politely, and then extended his hand to him who was beside him: "Fang Mufeng, I have seen your daytime before, and this time it is also very good. I found a treasure, and I hope we will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future.”

Fang Mufeng recognized the person in front of him, he hurriedly held her hand, and said, "Director Li is admirable."

In a film industry dominated by men and full of gender injustice, Li Peiran is one of the few outstanding female directors in China. She is unique and talented. She has repeatedly spoken out for actresses and is known for shooting female stories.

Li Peiran never pretends, she raised her eyebrows and smiled heroically: "I'm just telling the truth."

At this time, Xuan Nian also came over and joked, "As soon as the movie is over, will Director Li come to poach people?"

"This movie looks like an award-winning movie. Do you still want to occupy the good actors?" Li Peiran replied unceremoniously when he saw that he had lost his friends for many years. Your family has it."

Xuan Nian immediately burst out laughing.
