In a small isolated village, I faced strangers all alone and suffered abuse, imprisonment, and beatings. In the end, I had no way to survive, and I was in a situation where I had no choice but to die...
The tone of the story is very dark.
It can use different forms and different styles to interpret the human nature under this tragedy.
It can be filled with various expressions, either sadness, despair, pain, or numbness...
But it's definitely not possible with a smile.
Zhou Yang sat quietly on the bed all night, thinking about what happened in his village in his previous life.
The trafficked woman ended up standing crazily under the big locust tree all day long, watching the cars passing by and saying countless incoherent words.
She was laughed at by everyone in the village like a beggar, and many parents told their children to stay away from the crazy woman.
result……
Instead of staying away, the children's greatest pleasure every day was to hit the crazy woman with rocks.
When Zhou Yang was a child, he was not sensible, and he also smashed things with the children. The woman was not angry, she just let the children smash her, and just protected her face, sitting alone like this.
Only when he got a little older did Zhou Yang realize that this was a tragedy.
This crazy woman was once very beautiful and had very good academic performance. She was a rare high school student in that era. When she was abducted and trafficked here, she tried to escape.
But later on, they were all caught by the villagers, and even once when they went to the next county, they were dragged back and arrested.
Later, after giving birth to a daughter, I went crazy for some reason.
These are the original words of Zhou Yang's mother.
Is it because she is crazy for some reason, or is it because she doesn’t know how to say she is crazy?
Zhou Yang recalled it with an inexplicable feeling of blockage in his heart.
The dawn sun shone on Zhou Yang's face.
Zhou Yang heard the crow of the rooster and subconsciously looked at the window. He saw a figure moving around.
Not long after, there was a knock on the door in the house.
He went out and opened the door.
Then, he saw Song Yiyi lowering her head and her eyes were red and swollen from crying.
She raised her head slightly and glanced at Zhou Yang. Her whole face was filled with pear blossoms and rain, and she looked pitiful.
"I'm sorry, Director Zhou..."
"..."
Zhou Yang looked at Song Yiyi with her head lowered, and for a moment he didn't know whether to say it didn't matter or say something else.
So he just looked at her in silence.
"Director Zhou, I'm sorry..." Song Yiyi repeated again.
"Did you start filming today?"
"Um."
"good."
Zhou Yang was silent for a long time, and then he said some irrelevant words.
……………………
"Director Zhou, how was my performance?"
"very good."
"Director Zhou, are you still angry with me?"
"No."
"Director Zhou, don't keep a straight face if you don't have anything to do. Smile more if you have nothing to do. You will age quickly like this..."
"sorry."
"Zhou Yang, are you just angry with me?"
"No."
In the first scene of "The Crow", the heroine Qin Fangfang, played by Song Yiyi, is looking for a job in the market, and then meets the human trafficker Mrs. Lin, played by Chen Tingting.
After filming the film, Song Yiyi came to Zhou Yang and saw Zhou Yang sitting in the corner, half dead.
Song Yiyi is still studying at Yanying University and graduated in the first half of this year.
Although she is very young, her starting point is very high.
Since her freshman year, she has made a well-received and blockbuster literary film almost every year. In her sophomore year, everyone else was working on the crew, and when she was a supporting role, she had already won the Taiwan and Hong Kong Film Awards for Best Newcomer.
, she also won the Best Supporting Actress Award last year for her movie "Little Time Love Song", and this year is even more incredible. The movie "Hero" was a box office hit, making her instantly promoted to the most popular actress in China.
In the ranks of actresses, before she graduated, she was frantically invited by major directors...
In addition to the fact that she is outstanding in all aspects and has great acting talent, the background behind her naturally also helps a lot.
With her back to Beijing, she is one of the children in the compound. In terms of seniority, she is called Cousin Wang Shuai. Every year when visiting relatives during the Chinese New Year, they sit next to each other and chat about family affairs.
Usually in this circle, many people are polite to her when they see her, and no one dares to look down on her...
Moreover, she didn't feel that she had done anything wrong.
This is not a normal acting, it is just a rehearsal. She just couldn't help but smile more when she looked at Zhou Yang's silly and weird look. It's not that she didn't act seriously!
Moreover, after being reminded by Wang Shuai the next day, she realized that she was wrong and apologized to Zhou Yang!
Why does this person keep a straight face all day long, as if he doesn't want to see me?
Song Yiyi felt a little emotional.
What else do you want from me?
"Really not?"
"Really not."
"Then you smile..."
"..." Zhou Yang forced a smile in front of Song Yiyi, and then continued to lower his head and read the script silently.
Very strange...
When he met An Xiao for the first time, Zhou Yang would feel a sense of inferiority, but when he met Song Yiyi, Zhou Yang had no sense of inferiority at all.
Of course, it's not that he is disgusted. He just regards Song Yiyi as a cooperative colleague. Apart from work, deep down in his heart, he really doesn't want to have too much contact with Song Yiyi.
But sometimes the less you want to come into contact, the more unavoidable it is for you to come into contact.
"The smile is so hypocritical..." Song Yiyi muttered, but did not leave. Instead, she sat down next to Zhou Yang and looked at Zhou Yang seriously, and said very seriously: "Director Zhou, your character is not popular in this circle.
It’s very unpleasant here…”
"Hmm..." Zhou Yang put down the script and nodded.
"Director Zhou, a real actor, a real good actor, must be immersed in the movie character. This has nothing to do with it, but you can't bring this kind of character into life and let the character affect your emotions.
This is a very immature performance, and do you know what the consequences will be if you continue like this?" After Song Yiyi looked at Zhou Yangzheng looking at her seriously, she finally sighed, but her pretty face was slightly condensed.
, became more serious.
"What are the consequences?" Zhou Yang looked at Song Yiyi.
"..." Song Yiyi did not speak, but looked seriously at Zhou Yang up and down, her eyes filled with a solemn sense of impending disaster.
"Miss Song?" Although he knew that Song Yiyi was most likely trying to scare him, Zhou Yang still looked a little creepy.
"Zhou Yang, let me ask you, when I apologized to you today, did you not want to forgive me? Do you think you could stay away from people like me? Do you think you and I are not the same kind of people?" Song Yiyi
After staring at Zhou Yang for a while, he suddenly said something unrelated.
Zhou Yang was silent, feeling uneasy about being poked into the center of things, but his expression remained unchanged.
"Zhou Yang, I solemnly apologize to you again, I'm sorry!"
"Miss Song, I'm not angry..."
"Zhou Yang, if you really forgive me, you should look me in the eyes and say it's okay. If you haven't forgiven me, I will apologize to you until you forgive me." Song Yiyi stared closely.
Zhou Yang said very seriously.
"Miss Song, it's okay." Zhou Yang suddenly felt very uncomfortable and just wanted to stay away from Song Yiyi.
He felt that this girl was very difficult to deal with and made him very insecure!
"Yeah, that's right. I do know that I was wrong. "The Crow" is a very serious movie. You really want to make this movie well. What I did before was indeed a bit disrespectful to the movie.
I promise you that in the future I will act seriously and experience this role, but..." Song Yiyi looked at Zhou Yang.
"You said..." Zhou Yang listened carefully.
"I will separate the movie from reality and will not let the emotions of the movie immerse me... Zhou Yang, this is your biggest problem. If you can fully devote yourself to the movie role, it will have no impact in the short term, but over time
, if you act or make too many movies, you will feel that you are schizophrenic. At that time, it will not be cured by seeing a few psychological treatments..." Song Yiyi looked at Zhou Yang and stared at him very seriously."
Zhou Yang, it has been very difficult for you to live very tired and depressed these years. You may often feel helpless and hold on to live. Now you have finally been recognized by everyone. You have a very broad world. You even
You can stand on a brighter stage and enjoy the spotlight and countless applause, but the premise is that you cannot become a tragic figure..."
"Thank you!" After listening to Song Yiyi's words, Zhou Yang felt a little complicated in his heart and his throat felt uncomfortable.
"Zhou Yang, let me teach you a method. This is a very basic psychological suggestion. It can make you quickly enter the role and then quickly withdraw from the role... Many people are using this method.
…”
"Ms. Song, you said..."
"Don't call me Miss Song. I'm not a lady. You have to call me Yiyi or Song Yiyi... and you have to promise me that as long as the crew is free, you will help me cook, okay? Accordingly, I will
I'll lend you some books and movies from school, I know you like to study..." Song Yiyi laughed when she saw Zhou Yangzheng staring at her seriously.
She has a beautiful smile.
Very proud too.
"good!"
"Yesterday you made me cry. Today you have to make more delicious food. Do you understand?"
"no problem."
……………………
Song Yiyi is really amazing.
Zhou Yang once felt that Song Yiyi was disrespectful to movies, so he was very disgusted with Song Yiyi.
but……
When filming "The Crow" actually started, he discovered something very horrifying.
One second she was still smiling, and Song Yiyi was joking with Wang Shuai. The next second her face seemed to change in the camera, and she instantly began to become helpless, confused, and anxious...
What's even more exaggerated is that she never brought a script with her when making a movie, but she analyzed the character Qin Fangfang very thoroughly, and she didn't even say she missed a single line.
Except for some details that were not handled well, the whole process of shooting in the market went very smoothly!
Some people are just chased by God to feed them.
Zhou Yang was amazed in his heart, and he began to respect Song Yiyi very much.
Especially when Song Yiyi had a serious chat with him about acting skills and some methods of entering and exiting a play, Zhou Yang absorbed it like a sponge and benefited a lot!
He felt that Song Yiyi was like a teacher and more like another noble person in his life...
Everyone grows up through stumbling.
Zhou Yang also feels that he is slowly growing up.
At least……
Although I can't get into and out of the play quickly, but vaguely, the pressure brought by that kind of role does not seem to be so great.
The time comes on the morning of April 1st.
Zhou Yang finally had his first scene opposite Song Yiyi.
This scene is where Zhou Yang ties up Song Yiyi.
When Zhou Yang was thinking about how to shoot this scene, Song Yiyi knocked on Zhou Yang's door early in the morning.
"Zhou Yang."
"Teacher Song..."
"Well, I thought about it all night last night. For this movie, you should really tie me up. Although there will be physical contact, there are some important places that you can't touch..."
"..."
Song Yiyi looked at Zhou Yang with a very serious expression.
