reshape life

Li Wanyu has been directing for more than ten years. She has won two Golden Crow Awards for Best Director and one Tulip Award for Best Film.And the reason why she was optimistic about the movie "Brotherhood" at the beginning was naturally because the script has many bright spots, and it is a rough jade that can definitely hit the awards when it is finished.

However, in Wei Linxuan's eyes, although the script of "Brotherhood" is good, many plots are still protracted and lengthy. This film won the Best Actor Award, and Wei Linxuan asked the director and screenwriter to revise the script repeatedly before filming started, hoping that the script could be refined in terms of conception and emotional rendering.

In order to achieve this goal, Wei Linxuan even invited Fang Kaizhi to be one of the producers of this film, even at the expense of his relationship.And with his help, Yao Suhua was successfully persuaded to check the adapted script.

Yao Suhua is the screenwriter and original author of "Autumn Dew White". As the only film director and screenwriter in China that has won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film and the Cannes Palme d'Or, Fang Kaizhi and Yao Suhua are only highly respected in the Chinese film industry. Words can express - that is a god-level idol.

Wei Linxuan did not hide his ambition at all. He hoped that through the experience of Fang Kaizhi and Yao Suhua, the winning rate of "Brotherhood" in the international film festival will be increased.Based on this, Wei Linxuan absolutely does not allow anyone to disrupt the filming of the crew in any way, and hinder the crew.So even if Qian Jingjing didn't climb the bed, Wei Linxuan would kick her away without hesitation after watching her performance.

However, this incident also made Wei Linxuan aware of another problem. All along, the directors and crews he has come into contact with are all well-known top-tier directors.Whether it is Fang Kaizhi or Mai Chengliang, they all have absolute strength to control the crew and will never allow any problems to delay the filming of the crew, even if it is restrained by investors or producers.

Therefore, in his previous career as a producer, Wei Linxuan has been used to finalizing the script to guarantee funds, and then hand over the preparation of the crew and other issues during the filming process to the director.In this way, I express my respect for the authority of the director.

Wei Linxuan always believes that whether it is leading a team or making a movie, a team only needs one voice.

However, Li Wanyu is different from these famous directors. Li Wanyu was born in making low-budget literary films. In order to ensure the continuous flow of funds during the filming, she is used to compromise with the producers and investors.This is probably limited by Li Wanyu's personality, or it may be that people who engage in literature and art have some indecision problems.

Such personality flaws almost caused a big mess to the crew.Therefore, after the Qian Jingjing incident, Wei Linxuan stayed on the set for several days, carefully observing the shooting conditions of the entire set and the strength of most of the actors who appeared on the scene. Priorities, apart from Qian Jingjing, who was replaced before, the rest of the actors are very good at acting, and the guest actors who played the parents of the leading actor and the other elders are all well-known veteran actors.

Only then did Wei Linxuan feel relieved.

The obvious change in Wei Linxuan's attitude made Li Wanyu quietly relieved.

Prior to this, Li Wanyu's opinion of Wei Linxuan was similar to everyone else's. He believed that he was worthy of being a well-known planning genius in the industry.In addition, it is easy to talk about money.Li Wanyu was still thankful that China Emperor Entertainment was not like the investors she had contacted before, who dictated the filming process and actors.But he didn't expect that when Wei Linxuan confirmed that Li Wanyu's method could not completely control the crew, he directly bared his fangs.The authoritarian and domineering style of acting is even worse than others.

Li Wanyu can be sure that she has been directing for more than ten years, and this is the first time she has encountered an investor like Wei Linxuan who is not sharp, but who directly overwhelms his collaborators when he shows his sharpness.

Under normal circumstances, investors, producers, directors and actors are not always a whole in a crew.Everyone will have their own interests and persistence, so many times we get together to seek common ground while reserving differences.Directors are afraid that investors and producers will dictate the filming process because of their wealth, and investors and producers are also afraid that directors will use their power to do things wrong, especially for literary films. In the end, the box office didn't win the prize, and it was a mess, and I just wanted to jump off the building.And actors will be concerned about how long they appear in the movie, whether there is enough room for acting skills, and even whether the photogenic image is good-looking, etc. Everyone has their own little calculations, and the whole shooting process is also everyone A process of constant running-in and constant struggle.

However, Wei Linxuan's way of doing things is crushing without giving anyone a chance to resist.He is backed by China Emperor Entertainment. Although he is not the investor who has invested the most in the crew, he has the confidence to say "if you don't agree, you can withdraw the capital".It is precisely because of this confidence that Wei Linxuan can act arbitrarily in the crew, regardless of the opinions of other partners.Fortunately, every request of his has something to say, and even gives you a strong aura that if you don't listen to his words, you will never make a good movie.

Li Wanyu's character is inherently indecisive, and even Li Laosan's request from an outsider investor would be accepted, not to mention the professional authority of Wei Linxuan and China Emperor Entertainment. After weighing the pros and cons, Li Wanyu naturally responded to Wei Linxuan's request Obedience.Even if Wei Linxuan changed "Brotherhood" into a well-deserved hero drama.Li Wanyu also felt that there was nothing wrong with it.I'm just worried that Lu Heng's acting skills can't support the whole movie.

"That's your problem." Facing Li Wanyu's worries, Wei Linxuan said: "Lu Heng has won the Golden Crow Award for Best Supporting Actor, which has fully proved his strength and potential. I believe Director Li is the same I thought, that's why I came to us with the script, and I vowed that under your guidance, Lu Heng's acting skills will break through the bottleneck and reach the peak. Based on this, we will sign this movie."

Wei Linxuan dumped the blame on Li Wanyu without any pressure: "I believe Director Li will not speak big words because of his reputation."

Not to mention how stiff Li Wanyu's expression was when she heard this sentence, anyway, after Wei Linxuan took off her big hat, she could only bite the bullet and go all out to train Lu Heng, hoping that Lu Heng's performance could fully support her. this movie.

Fortunately, Wei Linxuan gave enough support in other aspects besides the clean and neat action of dumping the blame.At least Wei Linxuan never urged Li Wanyu about the progress of the filming, but repeatedly asked Director Li to perfect Lu Heng's acting skills.

If it weren't for the age and gender of the two children, just looking at how much Wei Linxuan cares about Lu Heng, director Li Wanyu, who is not confused but still single, would have believed that this is true love.

Gossip less, turn to the topic.In the movie "Brotherhood", the character with the most roles is the actor Liang Le played by Lu Heng. In addition, the character who plays the most against Lu Heng is not the heroine, but Liang Le's younger brother and second male lead. No. Liang Xin.

In the setting of the script, Liang Xin is a brat who is only six years old.Because of the pampering and connivance of his parents, his personality was even worse than Liang Le's. The two brothers had quarreled since childhood, and there was almost no time for harmony.

The actor Liang Le even complained to his friends more than once, saying that his greatest wish in life is to kick his brother back into his mother's stomach.

However, after a car accident, only two brothers remained in the Liang family.

The little actor playing Liang Xin is called Cao Yan, who is seven years old this year. He is white and tender, with a pair of big black eyes that are always chattering around, and he is very cute when he smiles.But doing it is also dark and dark.Generally speaking, it is very similar to Liang Xin's personality.

The scene to be filmed today is the scene where the two brothers rushed to the hospital to recognize their parents after they heard the news of their parents' death in a car accident.

The two old actors who cameo Liang Le's parents put on their makeup and lay on the bed in the mortuary.

Li Wanyu sat in front of the monitor and yelled "action". Liang Le, played by Lu Heng, grabbed the hood of his brother's hoodie and pushed open the hospital door. Asked: "I'm looking for Liang Zhenbang and Ye Wenhui."

The extra actor playing the nurse flipped through the record sheet on the guidance desk and pointed in the direction.

Lu Heng didn't say anything, turned around abruptly, and walked towards the morgue.The camera follows from every angle, and it's a long shot.

In the narrow and crowded hospital corridors, doctors and nurses in white coats and nurse uniforms come and go, as well as patients in hospital gowns and crutches carrying IV drips.Liang Le's eyes were straight, and his breath was small and rapid. He was clearly walking on a smooth and flat ground, but in the high-definition lens of the camera, people could see the kind of dazed haste at a glance.He kept bumping into people in the hallway as he walked, but he didn't even apologize.Some of the people he hit didn't take it seriously, some stopped and glared at him, but Liang Le's hand firmly held the hood of Liang Xin's hoodie, with such strength that the blue veins on his hands were exposed.

Liang Xin, who was being dragged and walked, was very uncomfortable. He was staggered by Liang Le, and tried to grab Liang Le's arm and tear him: "Let me go, let me go. Liang Le, why are you dragging me?" Hat, I want to sue my mother, saying that you bullied me..."

While talking, a pair of feet pushed towards Liang Le, not to be outdone.There were a few mud marks on Liang Le's light-colored jeans, but Liang Le, who always pays attention to his image, didn't seem to notice it.

The two brothers fought all the way to the door of the morgue.The camera moved forward, and in the zoomed-in close-up, Lu Heng was holding the doorknob with one hand, standing outside a door with his head lowered, his eyes were fixed on the doorknob, and he couldn't see clearly because of the cover of his bangs. On his expression, only slightly trembling chapped lips could be seen.

Lu Heng licked his dry lips and turned the doorknob. A pale light appeared at the door, and the dust floating in the air could be clearly seen under the lens.

Liang Le walked into the morgue numbly, and looked down at the two people lying on the mortuary bed.

The police standing aside signaled Liang Le to come forward to identify him. The doctor regretted that Mr. Liang and Mrs. Liang died on the spot in a car accident, and there was nothing they could do.

Liang Xin, who had been kicking and kicking Liang Le, was stunned for a moment. He let go of Liang Le's arm, threw himself on his father, and shouted: "Dad, Dad, what's wrong with you, get up quickly, get up!" Ah, Liang Le is bullying me, hurry up and scold him for me..."

Although children are young, they still vaguely understand the meaning of death.He couldn't believe this kind of thing, so he rushed forward and shook his father vigorously, hoping to wake him up.

The child was crying hoarsely, and the piercing cries filled the dimly lit morgue, and even the police and doctors in the room couldn't help turning their heads away.

But Liang Le, played by Lu Heng, stood in the room blankly and watched for a long time, and then said expressionlessly: "No!"

The police and the doctor looked over at the same time.

Lu Heng had a wooden face, but his eyes were surprisingly bright.He looked straight at the policeman and doctor in front of him, and repeated: "This is not my parents."

The policeman frowned and said, "But their identity documents—"

"I said they are not my parents!" Liang Le suddenly yelled and interrupted the policeman, he took out the phone from his pocket in a panic, the phone accidentally dropped to the ground, and the battery fell out.

Liang Le immediately knelt down to pick up the battery, restarted the machine, and then dialed Dad's number.

Father Liang's mobile phone was lost at the scene of the car accident.After Liang Le dialed the phone, the other side kept ringing. Liang Le held up the phone in front of the policeman as if asking for proof, and said, "Look, my dad can get through. He's just busy and doesn't answer the phone. He always does this. Yes. I called him ten times and eight times he didn’t answer. I called him on my birthday, and he answered No.18 after [-] times. He refused to go home and just told me that he wanted to buy. Spend money on whatever you want. I got into fights at school, we held parent-teacher meetings, and when the teacher called him, the secretary answered. By the way, I called his secretary—"

Liang Le lowered his head and quickly pressed the secretary's number, and the call was connected quickly as usual.Father Liang's secretary said in a low voice: "...I already know about Mr. Liang, Xiao Le, my condolences."

Sorry!

Liang Le squatted on the ground expressionlessly, his dark eyes suddenly glowed with a layer of water, his long eyelashes trembled, his eyes soaked in water were wet, tears swirled in the eye sockets, but he refused to Flow down.He moved his lips and whispered, "My parents are fine, they are not dead."

In the setting of the script, Liang Le was just a rich man with no responsibility and no sense of responsibility. Once there was any problem in his life, his first reaction was not to face it but to run away.It is very detestable quality, but looking at Lu Heng crying silently in front of the camera, the staff on the set couldn't bear to lower their heads.Some emotional little girls have already followed suit and cried.

At this moment, all the "audience" on the set clearly realized one thing, no matter how bad the actor's temper was, he was just a child.Both parents died and the company went bankrupt. From this moment on, he and his younger brother will be dependent on each other, carrying huge debts on their bodies, and facing countless hardships in life.

Li Wanyu, who was sitting in front of the monitor, yelled "click", but the set did not resume the relaxed and lively scene during the break, and everyone was very depressed.

Even Cao Yan, the youngest actor with the most active personality on the set, was exhausted from crying so much that he huddled into his mother's arms.

Lu Heng still maintained the posture of squatting on the ground and making a phone call. Wei Linxuan walked up to him with a bottle of water, and put the water bottle on Lu Heng's cheek.

Lu Heng came back to his senses, took the mineral water, and said with a smile, "I'm fine, don't worry."

Because of Lu Heng's dark history of filming earlier, Wei Linxuan couldn't feel relieved at all.But he also understands Lu Heng's dedication to the job of acting. The filming of "Brotherhood" was a joint decision between the two of them. get ready.

So in the face of Lu Heng's relief, Wei Linxuan just smiled and patted him on the shoulder, and said with certainty: "I don't know how Liang Le in the movie will face the world alone. But I know, if it is If you, Lu Heng, no matter what happens in the future, I will be by your side. Even if things get to the worst point, you still have me."

Lu Heng was slightly taken aback, then he laughed, nodded and said, "Yes, I'm different from Liang Le. At least I still have family, and you, my brother."

Wei Linxuan rubbed Lu Heng's hair with a smile: "I bought dessert for everyone to eat, and you can also eat a piece of cake. It's good to eat something sweet."

Since Wei Linxuan joined the group, he has not only improved everyone's food standards, but also prepared various snacks and desserts for everyone between filming.Under the fierce attack of a series of sugar-coated shells, even though Wei Linxuan's requirements on everyone were so strict that they could be called abnormal, everyone was very strangely happy.

To some extent, the foodies in the big foodie country are really easy to please.

Schumann, the heroine of "Brotherhood", walked over holding a piece of tiramisu, thanked Wei Linxuan for the dessert with a smile, and complained that she had gained no less than three catties since joining the group.

"The box lunch is delicious and the desserts are delicious. I've been filming for so long, and it's the first time I've met a crew with such good food." Schumann said this, scooped up a small cake with a bright smile, wrinkled his nose and said, "It's just for eating." Great, I now spend two more hours a day working out to lose weight."

The more female artists pay more attention to appearance conditions, in order to ensure the beauty when they are on camera, many female artists will go on a diet in private.Schumann is certainly no exception.It's just that she is quite greedy, can't control her food when she sees it, and has a body that is prone to obesity. She has no choice but to run to the toilet to spit it out after eating, and then do more exercise every night.

Wei Linxuan smiled back politely, and politely praised Schumann for being in good shape and not needing to lose weight at all.Schumann bent his eyebrows and eyes happily, and reluctantly put aside the small cake he had eaten.

In the afternoon, we will also shoot scenes where the leading actors and actresses meet.Said to be the male and female protagonists, in fact, the relationship between the two people in the movie is still more vague than ambiguous.The heroine Ai Jia is a nurse in the hospital. When she was working, she saw the hero Liang Le who was hiding in a corner and crying secretly.Ai Jia, who is kind and gentle, took out her handkerchief to wipe Liang Le's tears and comfort him not to cry.He left in a hurry under the urging of the head nurse.

Compared with the female number two who only appeared three times, the heroine has a little more roles, but not much.

The distraught Liang Le left the hospital with his younger brother, and had to find ways to arrange a funeral for his parents.

It wasn't until this time that Liang Le knew that the family had no money, and the company had gone bankrupt because of Liang's father's decision-making mistakes. The court froze all the property of the Liang family in accordance with the procedure, including the sports car under Liang Le's name, and even auctioned off the Liang family's house.

Liang Le borrowed money everywhere, but those relatives and friends who often visited when Liang's parents were alive changed their attitudes as if they had agreed. At that time, they were relatives who didn't enjoy the benefits of the Liang family, and now they don't care about the messy affairs of the Liang family, and they even taught Liang Le that he was a big loser, so now he can't do anything well...

Good friends who used to go to nightclubs, race cars and drink together avoided him for fear of being too late. Some even took the opportunity to make trouble, put a bottle of wine in front of him, and drink if they wanted to borrow money. A glass of wine is 1000 yuan, and they can borrow as much as they can drink...

This was Liang Le's favorite game back then.It's just that he is the one being played now.

Human feelings are cold and warm, and the world is hot and cold, that's all.

Liang Le went from being furious and yelling at the beginning to being numb and patient at the end, and managed to get enough money for the funeral, but even bigger troubles followed.

The news of the company's bankruptcy spread along with the news of the death of Liang Le's parents. All the creditors of the company came to the funeral and forced Liang Le to pay back the money.

With huge debts on him, Liang Le didn't know what to do. In order to survive and have food to eat, Liang Le had to go out to work, but he didn't know anything.In the end, I was reduced to working as a waiter in the bar where I usually drink.After being humiliated with blind eyes outside, he returned home and lived with his younger brother.Liang Le worked hard for a long time, just wanting to stay with his younger brother, but he found that he simply didn't have the ability to raise a younger brother...

In the empty villa, the originally luxuriously decorated rooms had been covered with layers of white cloth. The home that originally belonged to Liang Le had reached the deadline for auction, and they had no choice but to find a place to leave.

It was pouring rain outside, and Liang Le, who was drowned, returned home distraught.

The empty and unpopular house was in sharp contrast to the warm and luxurious itinerary when his parents were there. He remembered the old couple who were about to immigrate to country M that the two brothers met when they came back from grocery shopping.The husband and wife had no children all their lives. They suddenly found him a few days ago and wanted to adopt Liang Xin, and promised to give Liang Xin the best living environment for him to study.

Liang Le originally disagreed, but when he was in the bar just now, he couldn't help but fight with those who bullied him.Now fired.He was not even paid.

Only then did Liang Le realize that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't even support himself.He's just a useless wretch.

Liang Le walked into the kitchen with red eyes, and the kitchen was in a mess.Liang Xin, who was so hungry that he couldn't stand it, stepped on the small bench to get the noodles, but accidentally knocked over the pot. The handle of the hot water was scalded and swollen, and the noodles and hot soup spilled all over the floor.

Liang Xin covered her hands and looked at Liang Le with a guilty face: "I didn't do it on purpose, I'm just too hungry..."

Before he finished speaking, Liang Le had already walked in, grabbed Liang Xin by the shoulder, and dragged him out.

The torrential rain fell on the two of them, and Liang Xin had a bad feeling. He clasped his brother's arm with both hands, refusing to move forward.However, the little Liang Xin couldn't match Liang Le's strength at all, and was dragged staggeringly by him.

Xiao Liangxin burst into tears, and shouted hoarsely in the rainy night: "Liang Le, Liang Le, let me go, Liang Le, you must not let me go, or I will sue my parents, saying that you bullied me..."

Liang Le lowered his head in the torrential rain, dragging Liang Xin towards the old couple's house without saying a word.

"Liang Le, let me go, Liang Le... Brother, big brother, I will be good, I will be good in the future, I will never speak ill of you again, I will give you all my car models and Transformers Okay, I don’t spend money if I don’t go to school, I will try my best to learn how to cook to support you, please, don’t send me away..."

The young actor who played Liang Xin cried hoarsely and was out of breath, and his voice broke due to excitement.Lu Heng was also crying. He opened his mouth and cried silently. The torrential rain washed away his tears. Lu Heng turned around in the heavy rain and hugged Liang Xin up.

It was the first time he held his brother in 18 years and the last time in his life.

Then, regardless of the pleading of the other party to hug him tightly, he directly hugged him to a closed door.

Amidst the heavy rain and the hoarse crying of his younger brother, Liang Le knocked on the door.
