One is April Fool's Day in the West, and the other is Tomb-Sweeping Day in the East.
Qingshui Village still retains the habit of visiting graves and lighting firecrackers. Early in the morning, bursts of crackling sounds could be heard from the other side of the mountain.
Outside the isolation line where the photo was taken, there were piles of cheap firecrackers, and at the same time, the words "Double Happiness" were posted next to the firecrackers.
When Liu Tingting saw this scene, she felt an inexplicable sense of loss.
Somewhat sentimental.
She has never been married, and she doesn't even have a marriage certificate.
More than ten years ago, she was moved to another village by a cow.
There were no firecrackers, no wedding, just waves of looking at each other like domestic animals. After looking at him, he met a strange man who seemed to have low intelligence...
That night, she was ridden by a strange man, performing very unskilled and primitive movements...
She was scared, but she didn't dare to resist and didn't even think about running away.
In that era when patriarchal preference was extremely serious, even if she could escape home, she would inevitably be beaten severely. During the beatings, there would be waves of unpleasant curses, and the final outcome would definitely be being carried back to her husband's house...
People are like this sometimes, and all they can think about is accepting their fate.
Of course, fortunately, her husband's family was pretty good to her. Although she had to do farm work, they never beat her.
Although her husband is a mentally retarded person, he occasionally helps her pick out things and looks at her happily every day...
"Today's scene is your last scene. Are you in good condition?"
"good."
"This scene needs to have a cold feeling in it, it has a sense of metaphor...
"I know!"
"Okay, let's try it first?"
The brief memory was interrupted by Feng Kai's voice.
Feng Kai came to Liu Tingting with a loudspeaker and asked carefully about Liu Tingting's current status.
When he saw Liu Tingting nodding, Feng Kai immediately made a gesture to Bi Funan to allow him to take pictures.
Liu Tingting took a deep breath.
Today is her last scene on the crew of "The Crow". Her role is just like in "The Mine", she doesn't have many scenes, but she is one of the very important characters.
She is one of the traffickers who abducted Qin Fangfang...
All she has to do now is bargain with these people.
This scene was very important to Wang Shuai and Feng Kai. Wang Shuai was holding a camera and sitting outside the isolation line, and he was even ready to keep reshooting.
This scene requires Liu Tingting to grasp a certain scale. The scale cannot be too high, and there cannot be too deep traces of acting.
It should show the feeling of human beings like animals, and at the same time, this feeling should be natural, as if it is a feeling that is integrated into the bones.
Acting alongside Liu Tingting, the heroine Huang Degui is played by an experienced actress. Her name is Xu Xingfang. She has played various roles of evil mother-in-law and evil stepmother in TV series all year round. Many of her roles are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people...
Her mastery of this type of role is very good. Wang Shuai was not worried about how well she performed, but started to worry about Liu Tingting.
But then, they realized that their worries were unnecessary!
…………………………
"Five thousand!"
"She is from the city, educated..."
"Then, add another thousand, six thousand!"
"Haha, that's boring. Look at her face, it's so white and tender..."
"It's hard to work in the fields if you're so fair..."
"College student, what is a college student? Her son can win the top prize. How many college students are there in your village? Ten thousand yuan, not a penny less, or I will take it away. Look at this face, ouch... the village next door
A bachelor would dream of touching a piece of it. If you hadn’t asked someone to ask me for help several times, I wouldn’t have come over to sell it to you..."
"Eight thousand... My family is poor and we don't have much money..."
"Okay! Eight thousand is eight thousand. In exchange, you can give me this pig..."
"middle!"
"..."
Liu Tingting is really skilled in this scene.
In a daze, she returned to that evening more than ten years ago. She stood behind her parents, watching her parents pinch her face, and even took off her shirt in front of strangers, showing her humiliation to outsiders.
Breasts, and said that she would definitely be able to give birth to a boy.
As if it were a commodity, as despicable as an animal...
And she...
There is no need to act, but to learn their way of speaking and appearance, and to bargain with others.
Outside the isolation line.
Wang Shuai watched this scene excitedly...
He was pleasantly surprised.
Liu Tingting performed what he wanted. No, it was better than he expected. Even from a distance, you can still feel the deep sense of irony.
She even sublimated this emotion and attitude!
Then……
The human trafficker played by Liu Tingting and another gang handed the unconscious Song Yiyi to the Huang Degui family...
Not only did he get 8,000 yuan, but he also led a pig with the word "hi" written on it, and left Huangjia Village happily.
The camera left a silhouette of their backs, and the camera finally focused on her whispering to her gang, burning the girl's ID card, and bursting into laughter...
It seemed that it had spread throughout the whole village.
"Card!"
"It's a really good shot..."
Before Feng Kai finished speaking, he saw Liu Tingting, who was full of laughter, sitting on the ground not far away. Then she suddenly broke down and cried as if she was nervous.
……………………
Feng Kai despised Liu Tingting from the bottom of his heart.
Even if "The Bottom of the Mine" is released, even if she joins the cast of "The Crow" again, Feng Kai still looks down on her.
He thinks she is very contemptuous.
He felt that she was just a very lucky person who was selected by Zhou Yang and then made such a movie.
"Probably, this is her story..."
"She is unfortunate, that's why she plays well."
During lunch, Zhou Yang told Feng Kai the story of Liu Tingting.
After Feng Kai listened to Liu Tingting's story, Feng Kai felt as if someone had hit him hard deep in his heart.
When reading the script of "The Crow", Feng Kai just felt it was cruel.
But now he knows that sometimes reality is crueler than movies.
The movie only shows one side and cannot show the other side at all, but the reality is like a knife, piercing into people's chests, causing vivid pain.
Feng Kai lived in a big city, and the sunshine was always bright, but he also never experienced the struggle and despair of those at the bottom.
"The Mine" taught him about hard work, and "The Crow" allowed him to truly put himself in someone else's shoes.
Looking back at my past self again, the one who was full of vanity, hypocrisy, self-respect, and pride. I felt that I was born to be the protagonist and the future leader of the entire Chinese film industry.
And now.
Feng Kai suddenly felt that he was really nothing!
In the afternoon, Feng Kai was not in the best state for filming. His whole mood was very depressed, and he was in a trance. His world view collapsed into pieces, and then he was put back together bit by bit in the suffocation.
When he watched the movie "The Crow" again as a bystander, he suddenly felt that he didn't understand at all a few days ago that the shooting plan for "The Crow" he wrote was indeed nonsense...
Like a joke.
"Do you know the reason why I have always looked down on you before?"
"knew."
"Now do you know why you were not suitable to be the assistant director of "The Crow" before?"
"Um."
"Can you still shoot now?"
"I may only be a bystander for the time being..."
"Yeah, but don't take too long..."
"good."
Wang Shuai patted Feng Kai on the shoulder.
Everyone is growing up, and Wang Shuai feels that Feng Kai now finally looks a bit like his assistant director.
It's a pity that his understanding is so poor that Feng Kai is like a mediocre marginal figure among a group of geniuses.
……………………
In the afternoon, the filming of the second act of "The Crow" began.
Wang Shuai is very much looking forward to the collision between Zhou Yang and Song Yiyi.
Both of these people are geniuses. One has a deep understanding of the script and is one of the weirdest geniuses in the wild.
The other one is proficient in the interpretation of various characters. He is the youngest in the academy and one of the most promising characters...
Their collision is definitely the highlight of the movie, and it is also the biggest point of contradiction.
Their character settings are also pretty good.
Zhou Yang represents ignorance and is one of the most desperate characters in the entire movie's tone, while Song Yiyi represents the hope of knowledge and is the core shining point in the entire gloomy tone.
"You...you know that abducting women is illegal and you will be jailed..."
Under the dim lights, Qin Fangfang, played by Song Yiyi, said these words to Huang Degui, played by Zhou Yang.
There were tears in her eyes and her voice was full of crying, but the depths of her eyes were full of expectations.
She hopes to use legal constraints to reason with Huang Degui, hoping that Huang Degui can return from his lost ways.
Her other right hand was trembling.
She looked calm on the outside, but was frightened inside.
"Who marries a wife without spending money? People in the city spend more!"
Zhou Yang was smoking a cigarette, his face was dull, and his eyes had a hint of impatience.
But the slightly lowered gaze showed that he actually still had a sense of timidity and hesitation in his heart.
Under the flickering incandescent lamp...
After he finished saying this, he fell silent.
Song Yiyi was still telling her about the dangers of crime...
Chattering...
He was just smoking, as if he was being persuaded, but also seemed to be struggling and resisting.
Finished smoking.
A burst of firecrackers outside the house made Huang Degui, played by Zhou Yang, wake up from a dream!
I could faintly hear conversations and congratulations.
The wedding banquet has begun!
"Come out with me for a toast..."
"A toast to all the uncles and uncles in the village..."
"This village is all my relatives, I can't let them fall into disgrace..."
"..."
He suddenly raised his head and stared closely at Qin Fangfang, played by Song Yiyi.
His eyes were very scary.
Song Yiyi's eyes widened, as if in disbelief, and he shrank subconsciously.
Then……
Zhou Yang suddenly stood up and grabbed Song Yiyi's hand very arrogantly...
