In the movie theater, the lights dim and the screen lights up.
The movie opens with a long medium shot of Li Baoli, played by Cheng Hao, and Ma Xuewu, played by He Xin, entangled in bed.
…
"What's wrong with touching blindly? Go to sleep!"
"I know you're not asleep, and I can't sleep either."
"Oh, we're moving early in the morning, don't make a fuss!" The man's voice was filled with helplessness.
…
The audience was a little disappointed because they didn't see the scene they were expecting, but from the lines of the two people, it was not difficult to understand that their married life was not harmonious, but there was an inexplicable resonance.
The lens gradually blurred, and finally focused on the erratic mosquito net.
The four characters "Thousands of Arrows Pierce the Heart" appeared on the screen, with Japanese subtitles below, which translated means "Feng Shui".
Directed by Wang Xiaoshuai, starring: Cheng Hao, He Xin...
The subtitles scroll in series.
Immediately following is an empty shot of the environment, explaining the time background in which the story takes place, a gray-blue city, and geometric patterns of different shapes. This frame-like composition is like the couple whose lives are not harmonious.
Men and women alike are hinting at large-scale repression, obstacles and estrangement.
Then came the moving scene. The camera kept chasing the woman's back as she walked downstairs, yelling at the moving company employees downstairs.
When she turned around to face the camera, the guests present and everyone who knew Cheng Hao couldn't help but be surprised. The disheveled, cheap-dressed, stubborn, rude and rude woman on the screen was still the same woman in their impressions.
A charming heartthrob?
In the room, He Xin, who is wearing glasses and dressed as an intellectual, is packing his luggage with his son. The two men are talking and laughing, and the scene is warm. Cheng Hao, who is jumping around and gesticulating with the porter downstairs, shouting,
The whole painting style produced a great contrast.
"You're bluffing the villagers. Why are you talking about the price now? Don't think I'm easy to bully. Let me tell you, I promised you on the phone yesterday, but now it's turned into bullshit..."
Cheng Hao put his hands on his hips, raised his voice, and twisted his body when he got excited. It was full of vigor.
Did the sound reach the house upstairs? He Xin walked to the window and looked down, and saw Cheng Hao dancing and reasoning with the movers below.
"You raised the price just because you said it would? I made an agreement with your boss. It costs 150 yuan to move it all!"
The leading mover looked helpless and explained earnestly: "Sister-in-law, don't rush! Look, why is the alley in your house so narrow? Isn't it? Our car can't drive in? Isn't it? We need to move so many
Are you moving all your things outside the alley? Why don’t you pay more? You’re too embarrassed to give it away!”
Full of anger? Sweating profusely? Holding a handkerchief and fanning Cheng Cheng was speechless for a moment? She is fierce, but that does not mean that she is unreasonable. But the problem of face made her subconsciously look up upstairs? Want to find her own husband?
Ask for help? Or give her a way to step down.
However, when he noticed that Cheng Hao was looking up, He Xin, who was looking out of the window, quickly pulled his head in and pushed up his glasses, with a look of helplessness and disgust.
"Okay, okay! Jia Jia Jia! Move quickly? Stop playing tricks with me..."
The deflated Cheng Hao went upstairs cursing, and even the neighbors couldn't stand it. A middle-aged woman wearing pajamas, with curlers in her hair, and a cigarette in her mouth, came out and faced Cheng Hao.
The figure walking past shouted from behind: "Baoli, are you having a seizure again?"
Seeing the image of this female neighbor, the audience couldn't help but smile knowingly. It was obviously a tribute to Zhou Xingxing's "Kung Fu" which was a hit two years ago.
At the same time, the neighbor's words also confirmed from the side that Cheng Hao's behavior was no longer a matter of one or two days.
…
Finally moved to a new home.
"Oh, masters, thank you for your hard work! Come on, come on, light a cigarette and take a rest. Come on, it's too hot today... Hey, Xiaobao, Xiaobao, buy a few bottles of Schiffli in the afternoon..."
Seeing the busy porters, the elegant He Xin exchanged a few words of kindness, passed out a round of cigarettes, and asked his son to buy drinks.
This is human nature.
As a result, before he finished speaking, Cheng Hao rushed over like a gust of wind, snatched the cigarette from his hand, and shouted at He Xin in front of the workers: "Ma Xuewu, I pay for them to do the work
, It’s only natural! You were cowarded when they raised the price just now, and now they pour it out to smoke. See for yourself what they are doing! Smoking costs no money? Soda drinks cost no money? Do you think you are entertaining in the factory?"
Some people always hope to get more help when they work for others. But when others work for them, they take it as a matter of course.
She then gave him a stern look: "I was born cheap!"
The porters were stunned and quickly dispersed.
Only He Xin, who looked embarrassed, and his son Xiaobao, who was so frightened that he hugged his arm tightly, were left alone. He could only comfort and touch his son's head.
This three-minute long shot uses backlighting, which further deepens Cheng Hao's rough and frivolous character. When she rushes into the picture, she naturally becomes the center of the picture, leaving the other characters in the picture invisible.
It adds a sense of oppression and power.
As soon as the camera turned, the porters walked out of the door after finishing their work. They saw He Xin, who looked lonely, and then pretended to smile and thanked them. The leading actor said with sympathy: "Man, even though we have to work hard, we can't do it."
It’s a rough job, but my wife inside the house is quite virtuous, so my life is much more comfortable than yours! Well, I can see that outside, you can be considered a cadre, but so what?”
This woman has no respect for her husband in front of others, even the workers who work are looked down upon.
He Xin felt quite uncomfortable after hearing what the porter said. He lowered his head and said nothing more. He took out his wallet from his trouser pocket and quickly sent the person away.
As a result, the porter said before leaving: "You are really pitiful to be surrounded by such a woman for your whole life!"
The worker's words deeply stimulated He Xin, who had been suffering for many days.
At night, the very nervous Cheng Hao was still immersed in the joy of moving into his new home. He took a bath, applied incense, put two curls in his hair, and kept talking to He Xin while making the bed.
He Xin, wearing a white vest, was sitting on the edge of the bed, facing the camera, but never said a word.
Cheng Hao didn't even think about the reason, and still scolded him: "How can a grown man be so petty?"
"Go and wash up and go to bed." Cheng Hao kicked him twice with his foot and said.
He Xin was unmoved.
Cheng Hao came over with a playful smile and whispered in his ear: "Don't worry, I won't make trouble with you tonight."
As he spoke, he stretched out his legs and used his nimble toes to turn on the old-fashioned electric fan next to the bed.
"Li Baoli, I want to divorce you!"
He Xin finally spoke, his voice calm and calm.
After saying that, he stood up, picked up the pillow, towel and blanket and walked out of the bedroom, leaving only a confused Cheng Hao...
Although Cheng Hao had already watched the film after it was cut, she was still excited to watch it when it premiered today. Because the shrewd and philistine woman on the big screen made her think that this was the best contribution she had made in her career.
Performing, my heart is full of pride.
"Hey, hey, if I really treat you like that, will you do the same as Ma Xuewu and divorce me... uh, break up with me?" She asked her boyfriend in a low voice who was sitting next to him, who was also watching with interest.
road.
He Xin didn't even think about it and said directly: "No!"
"Really? You can tolerate a woman like Li Baoli who even I hate?" Cheng Hao looked in disbelief.
He Xin only looked away from the screen at this moment, looked at his girlfriend's face that was pouting, and said with a smile: "Then according to what you say, no one loves a woman like Li Baoli, and no one wants to be with her.
Living together?"
"Uh...that's not what I meant. Everyone needs to grow up. Li Baoli also experienced growth, and finally came together with Jianjian." Cheng Hao talked to him seriously.
"So, this tragedy is not caused by Li Baoli's aggressive and brutal character. Ma Xuewu is also responsible. I even think he should bear more responsibility. He is too cowardly and incompetent. Even if you are Li Baoli, but
I'm definitely not Ma Xuewu. I can't be as fragile as him. You chose your wife by yourself, and there must be something attractive about her, but at the same time, you have to accept her shortcomings, don't you think? Love is not just words.
Let’s talk about it, love is just daily necessities, rice, oil, salt and vinegar…”
As he spoke, he leaned close to his girlfriend and smiled in her ear: "What's more important is that love is made, and I am much more capable than Ma Xuewu!"
