Mr. Chu

A few weeks later, Gu Yang received a call from Wei Yu.

After recharging his energy for a few days, this director is alive and kicking!Immediately call Gu Yang and ask him to come to his studio, saying that he has something important to discuss with him.

important matter?Well, anyway, the young man doesn't have much to do now, instead of going to the banquet, it's better to chat with Wei Yu.

So, he went to the other party's studio.

Wei Yu's studio was built in a bustling commercial district, where every inch of land was expensive. He bought a large piece of land and built a mixed-and-match white house that couldn't tell whether it was European, Gothic, or Japanese. It's his mess.It is difficult to find a place to sit on the ground. As the saying goes, art is born on garbage.

Gu Yang walked in from the main entrance, and after a few steps, he ran into many feathers hanging from the ceiling, and then there was a pile of animal bones on the ground, and all kinds of gadgets, so weird, he was also very careful Yes, jumped inside like a rabbit.

"Director Wei! I'm here! Are you there?"

"Here! Wait!"

Soon, Wei Yu came out with a big mug in his hands. He jumped out three times in one step. He yawned a lot. He was wearing a black and white plaid Snoopy pullover crookedly. The underpants look very sloppy, but they match the atmosphere of this studio very well, and they are also mixed and matched, which is weird.

He has obviously had a good rest during this time, his skin has turned whiter a lot, and he has gained some weight. He is not as creepy as before. Once he takes the mug and puts on the slippers, he looks like a dead house that doesn't go out. .

Seeing Gu Yang, because the two of them are also familiar, the great director directly started talking about the matter, saying that he was also quite miserable, and was directly imprisoned by the Wei family after he came back.

"My mother is going crazy. She can't wait to lock me up and see no one. She even wants to arrange a blind date party for me. There's a row of girls in Ulala. Really, scare the baby to death, okay?"

He was complaining, while Gu Yang was listening and laughing. They knew each other when they were making movies, but they became acquainted later. Gu Xiaoyang, who was fashionable and naive at the time, still had fantasies about someone being a famous director. What happened?After getting acquainted with him, I found out that this guy has a temperament that dares to make a fuss about everything. According to Chu Jinye's words, even if you give him three points of color, you can't wait to open a dyeing workshop.

When Wei Yu saw Gu Yang, he always liked him very much. Gu Yang could be regarded as being dug out by him.He complained about the mess in his family, then held the young man's hand and said, "Come here to show you something."

Gu Yang followed him into a room, and when he entered, he was taken aback for a moment.

In that room, a huge wall was densely covered with photos.

"These are just washed out by me, and I took them there." Wei Yu said, putting the cups aside, and pointed them to him one by one: "Look, it's all true. The streets there are just This ghostly virtue, without a good road, the sky is gray."

It was a long street that was almost blown up. Under the impact of the momentum, the stones shot everywhere like bullets. Wei Yu captured the scene of that moment and took a picture of it.

"This is a family there. I just met them yesterday. They were killed the next day. I only had time to take a picture of this." He pointed to a lonely photo with only a dilapidated rabbit doll on the ground: "It belongs to their youngest daughter. I promised to give her a new one, but it's too late."

"That's their new fighter, an eight-year-old boy, isn't it ridiculous? The thing on his shoulders weighs more than his whole body."

When he said this, he looked at the boy carrying a big weapon in the photo, and was silent, and Gu Yang was also silent. He stared at at least hundreds of photos, feeling as if he was looking at another world through them.

A war-torn world.

"You should be glad you came back alive."

"That's right." Wei Yu said, "I'm so old, I'm not afraid of anything, and I rushed to the war zone to present a hero. After taking so many photos, I should be satisfied. It's so awesome to say it. The youngest of the Wei family, ah, like a hero, went to the battlefield to experience a hail of bullets, nothing happened, came back alive, and contributed to the country's culture and art? Am I awesome? I feel that I am Awesome!"

When he said this, he suddenly fell silent, picked up the mug next to him, and took a sip of water. Gu Yang didn't know what happened, so he stood beside him and watched him quietly.

After a long time, Wei Yu said, "Do you know why I went there?"

"To chase after a female war correspondent."

"Yes, that's right, I didn't catch up."

The atmosphere suddenly became stalemate, as if something was about to come out, the young man stopped and did not answer.

Wei Yu paused for a long time, then suddenly said: "She died, just last week."

Gu Yang really couldn't say a word for a while, he stretched out his hand, and patted the other person's shoulder carefully, the latter shrugged and clicked his tongue loudly.

"How did you die? A stray bullet, the whole head exploded at once. No matter how you save it, you can't save it. It was gone on the spot. I mean, what did I say--? Throw away your life, she, she won't listen to me, so what can I do, I'm scared, I'm so scared, I can't even sleep well there. I can only - I can only run away After getting on the plane, I finally settled down, and when I came back, I told her that I would send her supplies and be in logistics, and she smiled and said yes—what happened?"

"The results of it?"

He said it again, and his eyes turned red, and he had to cover them with his hands. At this time, a photo fell from the wall. It was a woman smoking a cigarette. It was obviously a candid shot. The lines of the woman's face were particularly cold and hard. Sharp, thin lips, lit with a cigarette hanging, a ray of fire illuminated the dark eyes.

That photo was deliberately processed into a black and white effect. She looked very beautiful, obviously not very good-looking, but it was unforgettable.

Wei Yu took a deep breath, raised his head again and said, "When I found out about this, I was still drunk, smoking cigars, and bragging with a group of drinking and meat friends. At that time, I thought I was awesome. Why not? As a result, the call came just like that, and I was—I was—”

He was speechless again, slapped his face twice, and sat down on the ground. Gu Yang squatted down along with him, and reached out to stroke his hair.

"I know." He said, "Don't cry."

Wei Yu closed his eyes, shook his head, and said: "The world is impermanent, the world is impermanent. I really understand."

"Little Gu——Gu Yang, look at me, I live a pretty cool life, I'm from a good background, I'm a little smart and talented, I can always get what I want easily, and there are people who make stupid things happen. Cleaning up the mess, I am much luckier than Chu tonight—who told his parents to go early, my family dotes on me, although I am a bit old-fashioned, it still loves the child."

"When I was young, I did a lot of stupid things. It's not clear in a few words. After the incident, I wanted to slap myself, but at that time, I came here in such a daze. , isn’t he living a pretty good life? I don’t lack the fame, awards, and money I deserve! You see, although Chu Jinye is rich and powerful, he might not be as happy as I am. Toss yourself like that! What's the point!"

"Until now, I realized that Chu Jinye was right. He... has been restraining himself, restraining his desires, words and deeds, so that when a suitable person appears, he won't... miss it."

Gu Yang looked at him with a quiet expression, his gaze was like a peaceful lakeside.It has the power to calm people's hearts.He is the right person that Chu Jinye has been waiting for for a long time. He is a perfect match with him, just like a pair of gloves.This is what they can't ask for in their circle.

Wei Yu stared at him for a while, then said in silence for a moment, "I want to make a new movie."

"I've thought about it. I've thought about it for a long time. I hope you will act."

"It's about war, and it's not a complete war. If you have to define it, I have to say it's about human nature."

"This movie is called - "Mom's Attic""

He took out a stack of white paper, on which some words were written scattered, in the same font as chicken claws.Gu Yang didn't feel disgusted, so he took it and watched it for a long time.

It was an unreal and incredible story.

Young Weir lived in a war zone. He had no mother since he was a child, and the memory of his mother remained in other people's dictation until one day, in order to avoid the pursuit of the enemy, he hid in the attic of his home that had never been opened. His mother's favorite place to stay was where he saw his mother's phantom. She seemed to be alive and talking to him.

In that attic, my mother shared with him the joys and sorrows, cruelty and beauty in her short 20 years of life. Those things, like the reappearance of the scene, re-enacted in real life.In the conversation with his mother, Weier thought about human nature, the world, truth, loneliness, these eternal things.

In the end, the attic was blown up.

As always, Wei Yu didn't put a lot of ink into this story, or he didn't need to.As always, he sees the big from the small, using those things in a small scene to highlight a big theme, just like "Nobody Knows" back then, the whole process was filmed in a room less than [-] square meters.Through the acting skills, dialogue, and body language of the leading actor, it is his ability and talent to let the audience understand all the stories behind the scenes.

Gu Yang looked at the script of this movie for a long time, and then said: "This story is very difficult to shoot."

How to let the audience see the whole world, see the chaos of war and disputes from an attic fantasy, is not only a test for actors, but also a test for directors.

It is the director's ability to tell a story to the end.

Wei Yu has never lacked talent, but he needs more patience and hard work.

"I can do it." Unexpectedly, this dissolute man said calmly: "Even if I spend my whole life, I will finish this movie. You can just think that I am sick. I just want to Do it."

Gu Yang raised his eyes, looked at him for a while, and said slowly: "Don't talk about yourself like that, otherwise, I, who promised you, would also be sick."

Wei Yu was startled, and then overjoyed: "You agreed to play?"

The young man's white fingers rubbed the script for a while, as if he was thinking about a very complicated question, and after a long time, he said softly: "...I just want to talk to myself, ask, what I want What is it?"

"It seems that I have also begun to feel confused and uncertain about life."

"I... want to learn something, something that only I... can understand."
