Chapter 1078: Doing the Opposite

The old house, which shows the vicissitudes of time, is far away from the downtown, and has a sense of winding paths. All the buildings and streets nearby indicate that the people living here are old neighbors and old acquaintances.

It took more than an hour for Chen Hao to get out of the fans and arrive at the hotel where he lived. In a very short time, he was surrounded by a large number of fans.

After resting for a few hours, at sunset, facing hundreds of fans downstairs who had no intention of leaving, Chen Hao jumped over a wall on the terrace on the second floor behind the hotel, went to another street and took a car to leave. He came to the place where Mr. Kikuchi Masao lived. It was evening, the sun was setting, and the old man prepared a dinner and brewed a pot of tea in his own courtyard, waiting for Chen Hao to arrive.

After a polite greeting, Chen Hao sat opposite the old man. Although the two were not familiar with each other, they had a simple dinner with social etiquette. When they drank tea, the atmosphere of chatting slowly started.

The old man lives alone.

The children are not around, and they all have their own residences. His wife died early, and he has been living here alone since he left his job as an undertaker. His grandchildren don't come here often, and there is no holiday to come here to enjoy his family's company.

Some sadness, even if you don't say it, others can feel it.

In the eyes of neighbors and relatives around him, the old man is a very difficult person to get along with. When you are with him, you will feel that the air around you is cold, and it is normal for conversations to be dull.

Today, when Chen Hao was not dull, the old man's face gradually changed from serious to smiling. He would also take the initiative to stand up and go into the house to take out some old photos and some old objects to show him. Finally, when night fell, he also took out his collection of good wine. Although it was just a little pickled vegetables and dried fruits, the atmosphere was completely different from before.

Some feelings between each other can be clearly felt.

The old man initially agreed to chat, just for official business driven by many factors. When they really sat together and chatted, he could sense Chen Hao's true inner thoughts. He didn't just want to make a film, nor did he just want to play the role of an undertaker. He had already touched the undertaker's inner world. Chatting with him would make you feel no pressure and more willing to talk about things that you wouldn't say to others.

"Excuse me, old man."

Chen Hao finally decided to complete the unfinished life experience at Kikuchi's home, chatting and drinking until late, and then staying here. It would be unimaginable for others. If the outside world knew about it, they would be very surprised at what he was thinking. You live under the same roof with a person who has been dealing with the dead all his life and others think he is very gloomy and scary. What do you think?

Chen Hao didn't want to explain, nor did he want to tell them that you didn't see an old man with a pure heart open his heart to you. When you really understand each other, you will know what a real undertaker is.

When leaving the island country, Chen Hao was thinking all the way on the plane. The "Departure Master" he wanted was a thriller script, but during the two days in the island country, although he promised the fans of the island country that he would film here and select actors from the island country, and he also talked a lot and felt a lot, the distance between those truths and warmth and thrills was a point that could be integrated.

He added a temporary itinerary and flew to Europe to visit the aristocratic circles there to see the undertakers there with different names but the same functions. He needed to find this point. The original intention of the thriller remained unchanged, but he also wanted the truth and warmth of the undertaker. He hoped that in the end, he could use film and television creation to convey the true situation of the undertaker, so that more people would know that even if this was a group of people far away from the mainstream society, he was also a normal person. His so-called abnormality was sometimes caused by people's words and others...

Suddenly, Chen Hao sat up straight and looked ahead with his eyes wide open.

Kang Yan and Chen Gang on the side looked over at the first time. No matter when, the first attention of the two of them was on him.

"What's wrong?"

Chen Hao raised his hand, signaling that they don't need to worry. What did he think of just now?

Yes, it was imposed on him by others. He is a normal person, and a normal person is imposed with something and becomes a horror state in the eyes of ordinary people. Wouldn't it be more terrifying? You know, the audience is a God's perspective. How to make these two states exist clearly and make the audience feel horror even from a God's perspective is the key to this film.

Satire is also a form of horror expression.

Yes, the male protagonist is set to be a normal undertaker. He doesn't necessarily love his job. First of all, this job is not decent enough. Secondly, it will make him unable to satisfy the kind of social circle his wife wants, and he can't support the face his family wants.

But this job can provide him with a high enough income to support the family's financial expenses, and in the dead of night, facing his wife's nagging about trivial matters at home, reading a book in the funeral home or in the lounge will make him feel extremely comfortable. He has no ambition and does not want to accomplish anything earth-shattering. He just wants to live his life in peace, create wealth with his own hands, fulfill his filial piety, provide financial support for his children to go to a good university, and satisfy his wife's material vanity to a certain extent.

He thought that he worked hard for this family. Even if the whole world didn't understand him, even if his wife always complained about his narrow social circle, they should be the ones who would support him the most. Even if the whole world stood on the opposite side of him, the family he worked for should also support him, right?

What was the result?

When the various performances of the members of this family indicated the collapse of the spiritual world he built, those terrifying pictures and events became the mental journey of this character's inner changes. Is it strange for such a person to turn evil or completely transform into another person? Will the story be very exciting? Everyone is used to seeing bad guys become good people, and that ordinary person who is honest and upright eventually becomes extraordinary. Such a story...

Once inspiration comes, the setting of the entire script becomes clear all of a sudden. Chen Hao gestured to Qiu Yu to give him a notepad and took a carbon pen. At this time, writing is better than electronic devices. When you need to pause, writing will give you a pause inspiration, which is a feeling that electronic devices can never provide.

During the plane trip, Chen Hao was immersed in a state of creative thinking. He knew that what he wrote in this state might not be useful, but he liked this state of writing every word without hesitation.

"The events that happened in the middle prompted the protagonist of this film to change his life, and also laid the tone of the horror atmosphere of this film. No one believed that it was not him who did it, because he was a mortician, and he was always talking nonsense. Those things that happened were all slightly related to his mysterious identity as a mortician. Many clues pointed to him, both openly and secretly. The horror feeling and multiple lines intertwined made it difficult for the audience to see what happened from a God's perspective. They could see the specific events, but they could not figure out who was doing what. The horror with suspense and even a little bit of detective feeling was not... Is it too bland? "

"No, there are no bland ideas, only bland stories. Even if it is a rehashed idea, as long as you have an invincible story, you can still have the best work. It's up to you. This line is very clear. Let's sort it out first."

The plane arrived in London, Chen Hao was still immersed in his own creative state. He got off the plane in a daze and had no impression of how he arrived at the hotel. The notebook was already full of scribblings. After arriving at the hotel, Qiu Yu immediately got a more comfortable large notebook and changed to a fountain pen. This is a little-known habit of Chen Hao.

His handwriting can only be regarded as not ugly. Writing with a fountain pen is already a bit unique in this era.

Only people around him may know the origin of his habit, just because the fountain pen has a hard feeling of exerting force, and the carbon pen and oil pen have a smoother feeling, which does not meet his desire for a hard and steady hand. It is due to his personality.

Seeing the boss's look, Qiu Yu could only postpone the scheduled itinerary temporarily, even if it was very difficult, it was better than interrupting the boss's current state of mind. Qiu Yu believed that if anyone interrupted the boss's thoughts at this time, he really didn't know how angry the boss would be. The creation of the new script was not like before. In the past, the boss would take out the complete script and show it to everyone directly. "Forrest Gump" was like this, but "Departures" seemed to have encountered great trouble in the creation of the script.

"The Shawshank Redemption" had many puzzled doubts. You MOUSE has not lived in the United States for a long time. How can you write such a script? The description of the United States in the 1940s and 1950s is not detailed, but a deep understanding of the social form at that time. How did he do it? According to his busy daily life, he has no time to study in depth. Is there a team behind him who writes scripts for him?

If it weren't for his outstanding achievements and his reputation as a great talent, there would be more doubts about the presentation of his magical script.

This time, "Departures" encountered troubles. The boss began to experience life around the world, which made some voices disappear, and at the same time, other voices appeared - the expectations for this play reached a higher level. A script written by Haozi so carefully, the film will definitely be more shocking, will it surpass "The Shawshank Redemption"? Is it because his previous script "Forrest Gump" has been temporarily shelved, and he is fully committed to the script of "Departures"?
