Chapter 761
What the movie captures is the beauty of the moment.
And strive to make it eternal.
Li Qian asked his grandfather, and his grandfather told him that although this large area of sorghum was deliberately planted half a month late, the season will not change. In about 15 to 20 days, the sorghum will head. Afterwards, around the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th, this large area of sorghum will gradually turn yellow and gradually mature.
But in the story of "Red Sorghum", this piece of wild sorghum is green from the beginning to the end.
It never matured.
Because of immaturity, this place is always full of wildness.
Yu Zhan'ao and Jiu'er had a wild joint here, which violated the morality of the whole society at that time. The Japanese were afraid of the resistance of the local people, wanted to build roads, and wanted to conquer, so they held guns and forced everyone to help them step down this wild, mysterious and unknown land. The sorghum field, and the unyielding rebels were also hanged here. The Japanese wanted to skin them alive, but the cook stabbed the bandit Tusanpao to death with a single knife, and gave him a good time. He turned around and cursed Slash at the Japs and die here!
Under the pressure of the Japanese guns, the cowardly boy seemed to have stripped his conscience and the hope of the nation after peeling off the skin of Uncle Luohan. He survived the gunfire, but was covered in blood. Sitting on this overturned sorghum field that once gave birth to the hope, spirituality and wildness of the entire nation, and is now trampled into a mess, he was crying and laughing, and lost his soul.
In the end, Jiu'er died in this sorghum field.
Also here, at the place where she died, her son sang a nursery rhyme: "Mother, go to the southwest, the wide road, the long treasure boat..."
There are shocking stories happening here one after another.
But the filming time left for the crew is only a short month.
No matter how you calculate it, there is definitely not enough time.
But since the crew officially started filming, everyone was surprised to find that there was enough time!
Because the male lead hardly wasted any shots, and didn't waste any shots!
In all his scenes, you only need to let Li Qian stay alone for a while, and when he stands in front of the camera, he will immediately transform into that rough and wild man, Yu Zhanao.
Of course, no one knows how long Li Qian has secretly prepared for this role.
Everyone just suddenly discovered that Li Qian's acting skills are so amazing!
And now, the first half of the story, the wild beauty of the sorghum field, has reached its climax.
When the wind blows, the sorghum shakes and rustles.
As the sorghum swayed, the glare of the sun from time to time made the entire picture captured by the camera flicker.
At the end of the shot, in the gaps between the swinging sorghum poles, is a flattened sorghum field. A man is lying on a red cloud.
The broad back is full of wild panting.
The sound of the wind, carrying the sound of panting, weaves into a piece of the most soul-stirring music.
And the green of the sorghum, the red of the wedding dress, the yellow of the man's generous back, and the golden red edges that the sun gilded all of them... form a heart-shattering painting.
In the next scene, the wind is getting stronger and stronger, and the rustling sound of sorghum fills the whole shot.
Jiu'er buttoned up her new wedding dress, and Yu Zhan'ao fastened his belt with his back facing her, looking back at her from time to time.
But Jiu'er had neither joy nor sadness on his face.
It seemed that suddenly, when the passion was over, she suddenly understood: this man is not her reliance!
The hasty cohabitation in the sorghum field to which this fate belongs is just a flash of light in my life-I want to catch it, but I can't catch it.
She knew that in the established coordinates of her life, she was a strong and big mule in the eyes of her father, Li Datou's new wife, and a very handsome and very handsome big girl who wanted to fuck in the heart of the man carrying the sedan chair in front of her.
As for herself, although she had to give the mule to her own father, she was not willing to give her new daughter-in-law to Datou Li. She would rather let this wild man who wanted to fuck her spoil her than give it to him.
Because this man, after all, is still a man.
That's all.
So, she calmly buttoned it up and stood up.
Yu Zhan'ao knelt on the ground and looked up at her.
The camera is on his face, but the other camera is looking up at the calm Jiu'er with his gaze.
Yu Zhanao narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling nostalgic, but also a little puzzled.
At this moment, he didn't seem to want to understand why the woman who was pressed under him just now didn't have a moment of tenderness and nostalgia.
Because I don't understand, I look up.
But at this time, in the perspective of another camera, the wind is getting stronger and stronger, Jiu'er's messy hair is fluttering with the wind, the sun is blown to pieces by the wind, and a large piece of blue sorghum rises and falls behind her.
At this moment, like a stroke of genius, the light captured by Fu Xuelong was inexplicably cold.
Cold sunshine.
Cold red, cold yellow, cold blue.
"Hey, you..."
Yu Zhan'ao had just uttered a few words when Jiu'er walked away suddenly.
Never look back.
Disappeared in the sorghum field.
Yu Zhan'ao looked at the place where she disappeared, opened his mouth slightly, stared blankly for a long time, took a breath, and suddenly sat down on his knees.
…………
outside of the filming location.
Yu Bojun was smoking a cigarette, raising his hand from time to time to brush away the sorghum in front of him, and said with a smile: "Your level, brother is convinced!"
Li Qian was wearing the costumes in the play, and walked side by side with him on the narrow path, smiling, "If you accept it, when it's released, I'll give 100% of the filming rate to the whole line, come and see it for three months!"
Yu Bojun laughed loudly when he heard the words, "Okay! That's the deal!"
After a pause, he said proudly: "We can't be the masters of other people's territory, but in our own territory, it's nothing to worry about! When your film is released, we will follow what you said, other films No matter how awesome it is, I won’t be there, all the theaters will only show your movie! Come to him for three months!”
Li Qian smiled, stopped, turned his head and looked behind him, and said with a smile, "Okay, it's settled." After a pause, he said, "Don't go, let's have a drink tonight."
Yu Bojun knew what he said, and said: "Okay! Go and continue filming, I'll just watch from the sidelines. Watching you filming is quite enjoyable!"
…………
Even a typical academic filmmaker like Lu Lingxi, even though she has already filmed several films with Li Qian, at this time basically replaced most of the functions of the director Li Qian and became the de facto executive director of the crew. But even she didn't expect that once a full-fledged literary film like "Red Sorghum" is filmed, the progress will be so fast!
It's only been ten days since the shooting started, but the shots in the sorghum field have already been more than half finished.
In particular, one of the two most important scenes in the whole play, which takes place in the sorghum field, has already been filmed at this time, and this scene was shot in one day!
From beginning to end, there was no NG!
This efficiency is simply amazing!
In fact, if you don't count the time wasted when Qin Jingjing didn't get the feeling right at the beginning of filming, the crew only took about five days to shoot most of the shots!
Of course, after adding some fragmentary short shots, another important story that happened in this sorghum field will be filmed later, which is the big scene, which will be difficult to shoot.
That is, the people were forced to step on the sorghum, and the tragic and heroic scene that happened on the sorghum field that was trampled down——
In the history of this time and space, the Japanese also invaded China, but the democratic government at that time was relatively stronger than the government in that other time and space. Therefore, the Japanese did not even occupy the entire Northeast. The advancing Japanese army only advanced to Qingzhou.
But ethnic hatred is ethnic hatred. In another time and space, the people of Yunnan would not be unaware of ethnic hatred because the Japanese did not fight over. The horrific massacres and tragedies that were committed during the war still made the entire country angry.
Therefore, Li Qian decided not to change or delete this story.
Without such a heroic episode, this movie would not be called "Red Sorghum", but "Green Sorghum".
The wild combination of men and women, and the mystery and wildness of the sorghum field are indeed thrilling, but the heroism of the mature sorghum, the strong red color, truly highlights the people who live on this land. Death... that is the true, great beauty.
…………
After finishing the day's filming, Li Qian returned to the hotel in the county seat, exhausted all over.
After taking a shower and changing into loose clothes, he was just about to ask Yu Bojun to go out for a meal and drink, but Yu Bojun had already had all the food and drinks brought to the hotel.
In the restaurant of the hotel, huh huh, 7 or 8 people came in, and two or three tables were fully set up.
Seeing Li Qian, Yu Bojun smiled and said: "You can eat with confidence, this is not just bought from outside, this area is our territory, don't worry about anything, just don't worry! If one of your crew has a bad stomach, it will affect tomorrow's filming Yes, you settle accounts with me! I demolished their hotel!"
These words are domineering.
But the area around Qingzhou Mansion is indeed the Yu family's traditional sphere of influence.
Li Qian smiled, took the lead and sat down to eat calmly.
He started to move, and Yu Bojun greeted him briefly, and the group of people who had already eaten all gathered around one after another, and began to eat and drink for the second meal.
There are only a bunch of people who have to lose weight until all the shots are taken before they can be free, such as Wei Yizong, who are struggling. Seeing this scene, they can only helplessly finish their meals, shake their heads and leave.
Everyone sat together, ate, drank and chatted, but Sun Yuting called out to clear up a smaller table, took a small portion of everything here, and poured two glasses of draft beer over, Yu Bojun and Li Qian sat opposite each other , Then I ate, drank, and chatted.
In just two years, Yu Bojun gained a lot of weight.
In the early years, he also ate, drank and played, but whether it was when he was a film director or as the rhythm bass of the Four Great Beauties, his figure has always been very standard, a proper handsome guy one piece.
As for two years later, he is now the father of two children, one wife and one concubine in the house, and he is in charge of five or six related companies of the Yu family under his name. It is possible to grow into the head of the Yu family, and he is the most eye-catching new star in the domestic business and financial circles.
However, the figure is already on the verge of being completely out of shape.
Small belly, double chin... Only in the cynical smile that would occasionally be shown in front of a good friend like Li Qian, can one glimpse the coquettish and demeanor of Young Master Yu back then.
During a small gathering in Shuntian Mansion, Wang Huaiyu praised him for being mature, and Cao Zhan denounced him as degenerate, but in Li Qian's view, whether he is mature or degenerate, this path is his own choice, as long as he does not regret it. good.
What's more, he is a person who looks to be in his mid-thirties, and it seems that he should be called a middle-aged person. A middle-aged person, his body is a little fat and out of shape, which is considered normal.
But when he said it, Yu Bojun was full of bitterness.
One wife and one concubine in the family are not simple characters. In addition, his grandfather and father began to restrict him more and more, and it became more and more obvious that he wanted to make him, the eldest son and grandson, the future successor of the Yu family. The forces over there are also not to be underestimated, and there are various tangible and intangible constraints on him, so he has to lament that there are more and more things, but they are all annoying and crap, and there is no passion in doing them Not to mention, the key point is that even the girls who will appear around me are getting less and less passionate.
So, he said, he was old.
But Li Qian refuted him, saying that Lao Cao is six or seven years older than you, and he is already in his forties. Didn't he want to take a concubine recently? What are you worse than him?
Yu Bojun lamented, who can compare with old Cao, his sister-in-law...
At this point, he paused, sat up straight, looked at Li Qian, sighed again, and said, "Well, the one in your family is similar! A typical old woman! And I think Xiao Lu She's better than Mrs. Cao's sister-in-law, not only can she manage the house, she can even do things better than us!"
Li Qian smiled when he heard this.
He knew exactly what Yu Bojun was feeling.
If Yu Bojun, who entered the business world with his family power, is regarded as a bright new star rising in the domestic financial circle, then Wang Jinglu, who is now the executive director of Xunfei Group and in charge of the big news business department, is simply a star. The rising moon!
As a girl in her early twenties, she almost entered the ever-growing Xunfei Group alone, but in less than a year, she firmly grasped the big news department in her hands , And it is doing more and more impressively, making the status and discourse weight of the entire big news business department within Xunfei Group higher and higher, which can no longer be summed up by the simple word "success".
Simply stunning!
