rising director

"Okay." Zhou Xun happily agreed.

Locking the door and putting on their coats, the two of them, like a young couple, walked slowly along the not-so-spacious road in the community.Under the cover of the night, no one knew that these two people, one was a cutting-edge director, and the other was a four-star actress.At this moment, they are just a pair of ordinary people in the world.

That's it.

"Tell me your story?" Zhou Xun took a light step forward, turned around, walked backwards, and looked at Wan Xiaohu.

Wan Xiaohu stuffed his hands into his trouser pockets, and said in a dawdly way, "I don't have any good stories to tell."

"Well, only you know and I know, and no one else will know."

"I tell my story, and you tell yours?"

"it is good."

Wan Xiaohu twisted his neck: "Okay, let me tell you my own story. My name is Wan Xiaohu. I come from a small town in Jiangdong. My parents are workers in a textile factory. When I was very young, the factory was very profitable. Well, I live a good life, and the factory often invites the film team to show movies.”

"and then?"

"I was young at the time, and I couldn't understand what the movie said, but I thought it was very interesting that there were people fighting and talking in it. Later, every time the film team came over, I wanted to go there earlier and take a good seat. But my mother was more strict. , I was not allowed to go early, so every time I went very late, sometimes I couldn’t get a seat, so I could only watch movies behind the screen. So I still don’t know whether Dong Cunrui used his left hand or his right hand to blow up the bunker .”

"I still do not know yet?"

"I don't know, do you know?"

Zhou Xun opened his mouth and almost blurted out, but after thinking about it, he said in frustration, "I've seen it, but I can't remember it. Don't worry about it, just keep talking."

"One time I was particularly impressed. I knew a new movie was going to be released early on, so I told my mother that I would go to reserve a seat early. My mother said no, if you go early, you will fight with someone, and I said no. Anyway, my mother agreed. The movie was shown at 7 o'clock in the evening, and I moved a small bench and ran over at 12 o'clock in the afternoon."

"Haha, how can it be so early, fake, deceiving."

Wan Xiaohu also laughed: "I didn't lie to you, really. I saw that there was no one in the playground of the textile factory, and I took a seat that I thought was the best. It was still summer and it was very hot, so I wanted to hide away. I went to enjoy the shade, and I was afraid that others would take my place, so I had to keep basking in the sun like this. At four o’clock in the afternoon, people slowly came. Everyone surrounded me, and everyone envied my place, saying Lao Wanjia That place my son occupies is great!"

"You must have lied to me. Who can be so envious of a single person?"

"I really didn't lie to you, what I said is truer than Pearl." Wan Xiaohu pretended to be unhappy, "Do you still want to listen?"

"Okay, I won't interrupt, you continue to talk."

"A little after midnight, a few big guys came straight to my place. They asked me to get up, I said I can't get up, this is the best position, I came to occupy the place at 12 o'clock in the afternoon. They said you have to hide Open, because this is where the movie player is put..."

"How can there be such a coincidence, you are lying."

"Hey, I interrupted again, I won't say anything."

"Okay, okay, can't I apologize?"

"Ahem, that's how I am, being squeezed away..."

(Sent in advance.)

0098【Before and After】

The two gradually walked from the community to the road, and Wan Xiaohu's story continued.

"Ahem, that's how I was, and I was squeezed out. I didn't have a good seat. I couldn't get angry. I stood by and protested silently, but they ignored me. I watched like this, and they took the movie The camera is set up, the movie screen is hung up, the focus is on, the first beam of light is fired, the extra film is played, and the main film is played. I didn’t see the movie, so I watched the process of how to play the movie carefully.”

Occasional cars drove by on the side of the road, and the lights hit Wan Xiaohu's face, as if there was a layer of pious light.

"At that time, I suddenly felt that the film projectionist was very arrogant, and I thought, I will also be a film projectionist when I grow up. However, after I gradually became more sensible, the efficiency of the textile factory was getting worse every day, and I no longer had money to hire a film team. Come to show a movie. I also gradually put aside the idea of ​​wanting to be a movie projectionist. Later, I was admitted to the best school in the county, and fell in love with a little girl who owns a movie theater at home."

"I was a bit shy at the time, and I didn't dare to tell her directly, and I wanted to see her. So, when it was a holiday, I ran to the cinema and said I wanted to watch a movie. In fact, I just wanted to meet her. Thinking about it now, It was so stupid back then, her family opened a movie theater, and she didn't live in a movie theater!"

Zhou Xun looked at the annoyed Wan Xiaohu, smiling from ear to ear, but there was a different light shining in his eyes.

Wan Xiaohu let out a long breath: "I still remember the first time I went to the movie theater, the conductor asked me for 15 yuan. When I walked into the movie theater, I saw many people eating melons in the movie theater. I found a seat and sat down. , I feel that everything is so tense. I didn’t see the little girl, but I saw Cheng Long beating and beating, oh yes, that movie is called "Red Fan District."

"And then what?"

"You don't know what kind of mood I felt after watching the movie. It was as if I was fascinated, and I was stunned. The next day, I came to the movie theater again. I no longer just wanted to see that little girl. In order to watch the movie again. In just two or three days, I watched three movies, and my living expenses for a month are gone.”

Zhou Xun opened his eyes wide, tugged on Wan Xiaohu's sleeve, and listened carefully.

"It was only then that I realized that it was over. What would I eat without living expenses. Moreover, I was really addicted to movies, and I had no interest in studying at all, and my grades plummeted. Later, when the second year of high school started and I signed up, I put I gave my dad the tuition fee and said, I don’t want to study anymore, I’m going to look for it, so I ran to the train station like this.”

"Where did you go?"

"I didn't go anywhere. When I got to the train station, I realized that all the money was given to my dad, and I couldn't afford the train ticket. In the end, I had to go home with my dad obediently. Later, my grandpa and uncle persuaded me to continue my studies, but I have an advantage as a person, that is, I can stick to my point of view, and I won’t go if I don’t want to go, and the elders are a pit if they spit on it.”

"Ah, you really didn't study?"

"You are stupid, don't you know that I was admitted to Nortel?"

"Oh, I forgot, eh? You said you were determined not to go to school, so why did you get into Nortel again?"

"Later, my class teacher saw that I didn't go to school and thought I had dropped out. He was very optimistic about me, so he came to my house to look for me. I told my thoughts, and I said that I was going to make a movie. You can also tell me about the rest of the story. As you can guess, the teacher told me that there is a film academy in the capital, and Zhang Yimou graduated from there. So I worked hard to improve my career, and tried hard to improve my knowledge of directing. Professional course No.98 was recruited by Nortel’s director department. This is my story, and now it’s your turn.”

"The ending is so hasty, you are cutting corners." Zhou Xun was dissatisfied.

Wan Xiaohu blew his bangs: "It's better to have a bad ending than an eunuch, hurry up and tell your story."

"I don't have any stories."

"Don't be foolish."

"Really not."

"Don't force me to come up with a trick."

"What trick?"

"Tickle."

"Well, I'm afraid of you, I said, I said." Zhou Xun put his hair behind his ears, "Actually, I think I am the same as the little girl in the movie theater in your story. I also grew up in a movie theater Yes, of course, my family doesn’t own a movie theater, my dad is just a projectionist in the movie theater, and he also does a very fashionable thing, drawing posters for movies.”

Wan Xiaohu opened his mouth: "What a coincidence."

Zhou Xun said loudly: "Because of my father, I never ask for money to watch movies. I go to movies every day, but I can't understand them. I fall asleep watching them. Maybe every time I dream, it seems to be hypnotizing me. Well, once I start acting, I can find my own feeling. I don’t study well, unlike you, I was admitted to such a good school as Nortel. I was admitted to a vocational school, and later, I entered the entertainment industry to work hard. "

"Gone?"

"Gone."

Wan Xiaohu was speechless: "Although the story I'm telling is unfinished, there are ups and downs, there are ups and downs, and the ending also gives a perfect answer. Your story is just an outline. .”

Zhou Xun raised his head: "Do you really want to hear my story? I am a silly person, and the story is also silly."
