Chapter 931 927 He Knows Nothing About "The Burning Sun"
Chapter 931 927. He knows a hammer's "Scorching Sun"
People are always growing.
Maybe what Gina said ten years ago, he would have said:
"I've already seen it."
Eight years ago, he would have said:
"Although I have already watched it, I can watch it with you."
Three years ago, he might have said:
"I've finished reading it. I want you to read it yourself."
But... just like what every outstanding boy should be grateful for the most is not his current employer, but those who help him learn how to be a good man and give this good thing to someone who is more deserving.
Now Lang Lang heard Gina's words... Although he had no idea in his mind, he still nodded and agreed:
"Okay. I can do that."
Although he had already seen the movie, he felt it was quite honorable to let this girl who had never seen Lao Xu's works experience the capabilities of his friend. After all, everyone was chatting at the dinner table yesterday, and Ghazali praised Lao Xu, but the girl had no intention of moving.
But now I not only actively buy Lao Xu's DVD, but I also want to watch the movie.
Don't say it's a sunny day... even if there are knives falling from the sky.
But Gina herself reacted:
"Ah... Lang, have you seen it?"
"I haven't seen it either."
The big-eyed lie is unusually fluent.
The other pair of big eyes blinked subconsciously...
"real?"
She looked suspicious.
"Really, I was quite busy last year. I was busy, and so was he. After the film was finished, it was sealed up and sent to the film company, and I didn't have time to watch it."
"..."
The girl blinked.
In some old houses with almost no natural light, sunlight comes like a miracle.
bloomed on her smile.
"Thank you, Lang."
The light was a bit dazzling, so Lang Lang subconsciously avoided his gaze:
"It's okay, I'll ask where the latest show of "Heart of the Burning Sun" is played today."
"Yeah! Uncle Feng Lun~"
Gina lifted several discs in her hand.
Settlement!
…
At the entrance of the cinema.
Lang Lang, who habitually wore a mask, glanced at the long queue and heard Gina sigh:
"There are so many people...are they all here to watch "Heart of the Burning Sun"?"
Lang Lang glanced at her in surprise, nodded and said:
"Is this your first time attending the Berlin Film Festival?"
"Well!... I usually practice piano when I have free time. I rarely... go out to play, and I don't have many friends. So..."
"Practicing the piano still requires a combination of work and rest. Too boring hard study and hard practice are actually far less effective than your sudden inspiration. Of course, I am referring to the current stage. We all have systematic learning in the enlightenment stage. Practice. But now it’s more about finding your own style.”
"Yeah, that's what the teacher said too. But...it's become a habit. Hehe, so I'm curious, are they all chasing a movie?"
Although the queue is not outdoors at this moment, but inside the cinema.
But she was still surprised by such a long queue just for a movie.
It’s not like she’s never seen a movie before, but she’s never seen this kind of movie start in an hour and a half, and people are already queuing up.
"Because "Heart of the Sun" is very popular, and there is only one show every day. The rules of the Berlin Film Festival are that each movie can only show one show a day. Half of the tickets will be reserved online, and some will be reserved for fans who queue up. So it seems that the movie The festival has been open for many days, but there are still many people who have not watched it. This is the point of the movie viewing manual.”
"I see... then we..."
Hearing this, Lang Lang shook his head slightly:
"It's okay, I've already communicated."
As a guest performer at the Berlin Film Festival Awards Ceremony, it is not difficult to get two movie tickets.
Gina was relieved now. Then he asked innocently:
"Then if they still don't see it today..."
"Tomorrow. That's all. After all, there are dozens of movies."
"...Okay. Then we are really lucky. Hehe~"
The girl smiled while looking at the group of people waiting in line.
There are Asians, whites, and blacks.
Her curiosity gradually grew.
What kind of movie has such a magical power to attract them and make them queue up more than an hour in advance... And looking at the queue, maybe the first person to arrive came earlier and queued up here?
With this thought in mind, soon the phone rang loudly.
He left for a few minutes and when he came back, he already had two more movie tickets in his hand.
After getting the ticket, Gina felt at ease.
Suddenly he said:
"Then let's go pick out a gift for Xu now, shall we?"
"..."
This time, Lang Lang's facial expression finally changed.
Although the mask covers it, the other party cannot see it. But he really found out that this girl had a... well... how can I put it? It’s fun, but also very…meh.
It's just a very funny problem.
That is, as soon as you think about it, it comes out.
Although the execution ability is full, the long-term plan is approximately 0.
well……
He sighed inwardly.
After all...he is a child.
While thinking about it, he stood up:
"Let's go."
Go and buy something expensive and useless for Lao Xu!
damn thing!
You offended the abbot and you still think better of it! ?
…
In the winter of the northern hemisphere, it gets dark early. Although it is already mid-February, the days are still not particularly long.
At least, at 4:50, when the movie ended and the two walked out, the sky was already dim.
Lang Lang yawned a little tiredly.
To be honest, he was hungry and sleepy.
He was holding a box that was not particularly heavy in his hand.
He wanted to go back a little.
Just when he was hesitating whether to mention "disbanding on the spot" to Gina, Gina, who was still energetic and different from his tired appearance, said something that Lang Lang wanted to die.
"Let's go to dinner?"
"..."
Lang Lang opened his mouth and suddenly felt that he was old.
So strange.
At this moment, he realized something.
Born in 1982... he really didn't seem to be young anymore.
Even the post-00s have entered puberty...
He didn't know if this girl would make an invitation like "Let's go to the bar?" or "Let's go to the disco?" after dinner.
I don't want to guess.
What he wants to do most now is to go back to the hotel.
Ask Lao Xu if they are done.
Then sit together with a few friends to make tea and brag.
That energetic age seems to be gone forever.
However, it doesn't matter if there is another event in the future.
He decided that if the girl has any other activities, he will refuse her no matter what, and nodded:
"Okay."
So, the two of them followed the crowd out in a low-key manner.
There was a queue at the ticket gate of the theater again, but this time it was not long, and I don't know which movie they were watching.
After the two walked out, Lang Lang heard Gina say:
"I have a few questions about the movie, can you tell me?"
"Okay, what questions?"
"I saw... a few shots. At first I thought it was a glitch, because when Xin and Chun were together, the weather was always strange. It was sunny in the last second, and foggy and rainy in the next second... I thought it was a glitch, but it didn't feel like it later. It's so strange..."
"That's the expression of the inner world. Maybe he actually played a game with the audience... Or, he invited the audience to actively use this glitch shot to tell them: Are the weather you see, sunshine, thick fog, rain, etc., real? This moment is the protagonist's inner world. Is it the inner world? Or the external world? He left it for everyone to think about. Instead of simply fixing a certain shot on a certain weather.
This is also the most powerful part of his movie. For ordinary audiences, such as Gina, who are not very exposed to movies, what you see first is a complete story. Secondly, during the movie, you also received an invitation from Xu. However, for you who are watching a movie for the first time, even if he sent an invitation and you received this signal, you can't react in time.
For some senior audiences, or those who have studied movies, after receiving Xu's invitation, they will follow him into another world while watching the movie and ensuring the viewing experience. . Do you understand what I mean by this metaphor? It's like..."
"Harry Potter?"
Gina's eyes lit up:
"Like Muggles and wizards, coexisting but distinct!"
"Well... you can think so. In short, the audience will definitely feel a complete story first. Secondly, there are some details of the movie, such as weather, background, music, etc. He doesn't want everyone to take out a second movie ticket immediately, but hopes that everyone can leave a deep impression on this movie. If you are bored in the future, you can treat it as a game to spend some leisure time. So, he just used some "tricks". "
"This is not a trick. "
I understand After his explanation, Gina, who had already sat in the car, quickly shook her head:
"This is the first time I've seen this kind of... movie! This is the first time I've received such an invitation. It feels very interesting... I want to go back and watch it again immediately!... Is this the core attraction of "The Burning Sun" that has become a hot topic in Berlin?"
"One of them. Maybe, but it is definitely not the main one."
In Gina's amazed expression, Lang Lang, who fastened his seat belt, also said with emotion:
"Movies are not about showing off skills. All skills should serve movies. This is Xu's belief. So... honestly, what do you think of this movie?"
"Without a doubt, it's great!"
Gina gave the answer without any hesitation.
"At first I was a little uncomfortable, because I really don't watch movies very often. But... now that I think about it, I find that every time I want to recall a certain movie clip, the thought in my mind is not the picture, but the story. What happened in a certain clip in this story... and, in addition to this story... there is a scene that impressed me the most, that is the end of the film, when Chun went to interrogate Xin."
"The part where the sun shines on Chun's body? Well, that part is really..."
When he was about to say "shocking", he saw Gina shook her head:
"No, it's not. That part is really good. But the place that really made me cry was on Xin's clothes. He was wearing an orange vest. Somewhat like work clothes..."
"Uh..."
Lang Lang tried to recall.
He found that his memory was full of the scene when Yi Guchun interrogated in the sun.
The shock brought by that scene made him forget all the details. He only remembered that Xin Xiaofeng was smoking, the two of them were chatting... and the scene that was as bright as holy light.
"Then what?"
He asked.
"At that moment... I seemed to suddenly understand the character of "Xin". In fact, he is the one who suffers the most in the film. I think the name of this film should not be "The End of the Dead Road", but should be called... "Snow After the Sun Rises"."
"......?"
Lang Lang's brain suddenly short-circuited.
What the hell?
What is in this kid's mind?
How did he come up with this name?
Facing Lang Lang's doubts, Gina said naturally:
"Because the protagonist Xin is too miserable. He yearns for light so much, but just because he took a wrong step... The most important thing is that he is not the murderer, but he has trapped himself in the darkness. But why did he choose death in the end? Die with the girl's secret? It's because... He is like snow. He just wants to be free and wants to see the sun. As long as he sees the sun, even if it melts, he has no regrets."
"Uh..."
Lang Lang opened his mouth subconsciously.
Wanted to say something.
But after thinking carefully... Isn't this the same as the Chinese name of "The Burning Sun"?
Why can the scorching sun burn the heart?
Because... the heart was cut out and put in the sun.
When the heart is cut out, the person dies.
But even if he dies, he wants his heart to be illuminated by this beam of sunlight.
"..."
For a moment, he was speechless.
At this time, Gina continued to talk to herself:
"And the reason why I was so impressed by that part is... I found that the vest on Xin was orange. The same color as the sun..."
"..."
Lang Lang was stunned again.
"What a cruel picture... Even when the real sun was shining, Xin couldn't show his true heart. He could only use a vest in the color of the sun to give himself false faith and comfort... He could never escape the darkness. Because the darkness is to protect the weak light... the light of that child... He is such a gentle person... But in the end, he couldn't even get redemption..."
"..."
In his slip of the tongue, the girl with red eyes sighed again:
"Alas..."
Then, she gave her own summary:
"This is really a good movie! Obviously, I didn't have so many feelings just now... But now my heart is full of this movie. Its story, its pictures, there are Xin, Chun, Xia, Yang, Chen... Huh..."
As she spoke, the more she spoke, the stronger the unspeakable sadness in her tone.
After unconsciously letting out a light breath, she drove while fanning her eyes with her hands to dry her tears.
Then she said:
"I suddenly understand why so many people like this movie... It's really great! The story is also good. I hate tragic movies the most, but... I feel... particularly moved. But I don't know exactly why I'm moved. It's so strange..."
The tears in her eyes were gradually replaced by a sense of surprise.
This movie... is it so impressive?
I can't forget it...
There is even only one idea left in my mind. After discussing it with Lang... I want to watch it again!
Wow...
...
The one-day date is finally over.
The POLO stopped at the door of the hotel.
Lang Lang didn't rush to get out of the car, but looked at Gina and said:
"Then... I'm leaving?"
"Yeah!"
Gina didn't seem to be reluctant to leave, but seemed very straightforward.
She just asked:
"Then when I get home, can we chat on the phone?"
Hearing this, Lang Lang smiled and nodded:
"Yeah, okay. Then be careful on your way back!"
"Yeah yeah!"
Only then did he open the car door and get out.
Just as he was about to close the door, he found that the passenger window had already rolled down.
"Lang."
"?"
Lang Lang looked back and saw that Gina's expression suddenly looked a little uncomfortable.
She pointed at the bag in his hand and asked:
"Are you sure... it's okay to give this? I've been worried..."
"Absolutely no problem. Xu has a strong appreciation of art, he will definitely like it."
"This... okay."
Seeing him say this, Gina nodded hesitantly.
But her expression changed immediately:
"Hehe~"
She bared her little white teeth:
"I'm very happy today! See you later!"
"..."
Lang Lang was stunned.
Suddenly he chuckled:
"Ha~ OK, see you later. Be safe~"
"BYE~"
Watching POLO leave, carrying the "expensive and useless" gift, he walked into the hotel quickly with a subtle feeling in his heart.
Soon, ten minutes later, he came to the door of Xu Xin's room with the gift.
"Ding Dong."
After the doorbell rang, the door opened quickly.
Xu Xin poked his head out...
"Are you here? Come in!"
"Why are you like two spies meeting each other?"
Lang Lang complained, and after entering the room, he heard Xu Xin ask:
"Where are the goods?"
"...payment in one hand, goods in the other."
Lang Lang gestured to the bag in his hand.
Xu Xin nodded quickly:
"Okay. How much?"
"Fifteen thousand."
"I'll turn you around now."
"I'm talking about euros."
"What!?"
Xu Xin was stunned and looked at the box in his friend's hand:
"What did you buy? Fifteen thousand? ... No, 150,000. What the hell?"
"This is your Valentine's Day gift for Dami. I bought it in a private art gallery, a work by the famous artist Jean-Pierre Reno!"
"oh?"
Although he didn't know who this so-called Jean Pierre Reno was, Xu Xin looked at the square box in his hand and subconsciously expressed concern:
"It won't sink, right? Why don't you put it on the ground first?"
"..."
Lang Lang's eyes changed for a while.
Suddenly I felt a little guilty.
After thinking about it, he didn't cooperate with Xu Xin in any spies' trick, and he didn't mention the money again. Instead, he walked to the sofa in the suite and put the handbag on the coffee table.
"Hey, let me ask you something."
"What?"
Xu Xin, who was about to study what was in this box, asked casually.
"Do you have any explanation for the prison uniform you chose for Xin Xiaofeng?"
"?"
Xu Xin was stunned and looked up at him:
"What?"
"On the last scene when Yi Guchun interrogated Xin Xiaofeng. Didn't he wear an orange prison uniform vest? Is there any rules on the color of the clothes?"
"...What's the statement?"
The moment he heard Xu Xin's words, Lang Lang knew...
He knows Hammer's "Scorching Sun"!
Xu Xin didn't know why he asked, but he still explained:
"Those are prepared as props. And that's not a prison uniform, it's a vest from the detention center... What's wrong?"
"……well."
Lang Lang sighed and began to tell what Gina said.
And he had just spoken:
"Gina and I went to see "Heart of the Sun"..."
I saw Xu Xin was so happy:
"Hey? Did you go to watch my movie? The date is quite romantic... But why don't you two watch "The Grandmaster"? My movie is so uncomfortable. You take her to watch Gong Er and you can also say to her: Ji Miss Na, everything in this world..."
He didn't finish his words, but Lang Lang, who felt that he was full of artistic bacteria and fed the dog, stood up immediately:
"Geneva pays back! Hurry! Fifteen thousand euros! Give it to me! I'm going to bed!"
"Eh? No, I still want to ask you two about today..."
"Money! Hurry! Stop the ink stains!"
As he said that, he glanced at Xu Xin's wallet on the table.
He simply picked it up directly.
I took out all the banknotes inside and counted them...
"Transfer the rest to me now! There are still 12,060 euros left!"
"What the heck, if you have money... you must be stingy!"
Xu Xin rolled his eyes and opened the desk drawer.
He casually took out two envelopes from inside.
"Here, here, leave the change for me. This is 20,000, take it! No need to look for it, just treat it as a tip for you!"
After he finished speaking angrily, he looked angry at his undeniable virtue:
"I just want to ask you how your date goes... Look at you. I'm not laughing at you. Which of our buddies is dating who..."
"Sorry, not familiar."
Taking 20,000 yuan, he turned around and left.
Without any hesitation.
When he reached the door, he suddenly stopped.
Because I heard a "crash" sound.
Turning around, he saw that Xu Xin had already taken out the box from the bag.
"Don't move!"
he said quickly.
"The gift was wrapped in paper."
"I have to see what it is, right?"
"Didn't I tell you, it's a work of art! It's definitely a serious thing! It can be used at home... Are you still worried about me? Don't take it apart and hand it over to her tomorrow. How romantic!"
"...?"
Xu Xin looked at the well-packaged box in his hand, and then at his friend who had a normal expression.
If you think about it carefully, it seems to make sense.
"Okay, thank you."
"...Well, let's go."
Lang Lang turned around with a natural expression, opened the door, and walked out directly.
Then……
His face was twisted like this.
This is my first time using this illustration, haha, it feels so convenient.
