longest movie [entertainment]

Two days later, Huo Ling and Chen Mingfan came as promised.

Yi Chang thought that there would be some people from the lead actor and Huo Ling's team, but found that there were only two of them.After asking, I found out that Chen Mingfan was one of the protagonists.

He thought that his friend was just taking part in the photography, but he took the lead in acting for the first time, which is really unusual.

"The cost of this film is small, and due to the subject matter, those with qualifications and experience are not willing to participate. I also tend to choose a group of amateur actors." Huo Ling explained.

Chen Mingfan smiled at Yi Chang, "You are an exception to Director Huo."

"What kind of movie is it?" he asked.

Huo Ling glanced at Peng Xiwen, who had not looked very good after leading them in, and said, "It's Xiwen's work, maybe you've seen it too."

"It's impossible for him to have seen it." Peng Xiwen's tone was a little low.

Yi Chang was a little confused seeing them coming and going, and asked, "Which book is it?"

Huo Ling took out a booklet from his bag, handed it to him and said, "Let's just read the script, there are not much changes."

He took it and started looking through it.

The script is not thick, probably less than half of what he had come into contact with before.There are not many characters and the lines are concise, which is in line with the consistent characteristics of "small cost".

The background of the story is a university, and the protagonist is a teacher and one of his students.

Looking at it, he began to feel that something was wrong.On the one hand, Peng Xiwen's expression became more and more unnatural.

"This is..." He looked up at her in disbelief, "Professor and..."

She pursed her lips and nodded with difficulty.

Yi Chang lost his concentration, put the script on the table in front of him, propped his elbows on his legs, and remained silent.

"I finished this last month, and the original intention was just to commemorate him." She looked at Huo Ling, and said helplessly, "Who knows, you just fell in love with it."

"That's why we need to talk about it. It's the actor's freedom to take it or not." Huo Ling didn't change his face, looking at the young man in front of him, "Do you have confidence in the role of 'Xu Mo'?"

Yi Chang's pupils trembled, and his eyes fell back to the script.

"Xu Mo" is the teacher, the former Ye Li.

Homosexual works are a hot spot in global literary and artistic creation.If shot well enough, it can stand out from the crowd with a perfectly executed sense of taboo and fragmentation.

However, due to the limitations of the audience, the commercial value of such films will not be too high, and the topicality of their own will also discourage many artists.

He was at a loss, but not because of the subject matter.

"Director Huo, may I know why you are looking for me?" He asked.

Huo Ling smiled, and said: "It's very simple and difficult to answer your question. If you really want to say it, you can't do it a year ago, but you are now the 'Xu Mo' in my heart."

There may be thousands of different reasons for a director to choose actors, such as appearance and temperament, outstanding acting skills, capital or other unspoken rules, and so on.

He knew that Huo Ling's speech was always concise and straightforward, but no matter whether the other party was lazy to explain to him or not, such a simple sentence was the highest affirmation for him.

The trust he placed in him was already evident.

"Okay," he looked at him with firm eyes, "I'll act."

Huo Ling nodded knowingly, glanced at the pale old friend beside him, and said, "Xiwen told me about your situation, and I already understand it. Before finalizing it, I want to emphasize to you that this shooting cycle It's short, but it requires your [-]% commitment."

Although they only worked together once, Huo Ling knew in his heart that he didn't have to worry about Yi Chang's professionalism, he just needed him to think clearly before making a decision.

After seeing the young man nodding, he was very satisfied, and when he was about to speak, he heard Peng Xiwen say: "Old Huo, come here."

He asked Chen Mingfan to explain the current situation of the crew to Yi Chang first, and followed her to the corridor.

The friend folded his hands in front of his chest, took a deep breath, and said to him: "I don't think I can stop you. Well, I only have one request, about the script."

Huo Ling raised his eyebrows and said, "It's okay, just mention it, we can still find time to repair together."

This time the script was written by him.Because it had been a long time since he wrote, he was still somewhat dissatisfied with the current notebook. It would be great if Peng Xiwen was willing to cooperate with him.

The other party just shook his head and said: "I believe in your level. I just think that the tone of the whole story may be adjusted. I know the style of your previous films. This time you can consider not being so sharp. You will rely on it to make a comeback Isn’t it? You don’t know the appetite of the market, this time the subject matter is a bit sloppy, and some compromises in style may have unexpected effects.”

After listening to her quietly, Huo Ling said, "I understand what you mean. Actually, you don't have to worry too much about Yi Chang, he knows what he is doing."

"...Forget it, I can't hide it from you," she didn't expect her thoughts to be seen through so easily, she said helplessly, "Okay, I won't interfere, you old men can figure it out for yourself."

Seeing his friend's rare embarrassment, he couldn't help laughing: "You don't blame me for 'stealing' your story, I am already thankful. No matter what it is, it is fate. If you believe in my vision, please believe in him as well. "

After this meeting, the shooting did not start soon.Not because of the organization or the script, but because of the funding problems.

This is a difficulty that has almost never appeared in Huo Ling's history as a shadow player.

He was born in a wealthy artistic family, and he never had to worry about money during the creative process. However, due to a series of previous changes, his appeal is no longer what it used to be. Changes in either party may put the shooting plan on hold.

After a new film company that had promised to be the main investor suddenly withdrew its capital, everyone fell into a situation of being at a loss for a while.After Peng Xiwen learned about it, she told them not to worry, she could lobby the Rong family to raise more funds than before.However, shortly after the incident, Huo Ling informed them that they had received the investment, and this time it had been finalized, and they could officially start.

Peng Xiwen couldn't help laughing at such a quick rescue, asking if Huo Ling went to find a doctor.

Yi Chang didn't ask any further questions, and arrived at the shooting location, namely L University, as planned.

Huo Ling's decision to shoot on the spot was actually within his expectation. This somewhat stubborn artist has always pursued a connection with reality.

He has read the script from cover to cover several times, and the story is very different from what he imagined.

In addition to the plot of the love between the teacher and the student, the open and secret struggles in colleges and universities also occupy a certain amount of space and become the external cause that dominates the relationship between the two.

What made them eventually split into tragedy was the torment of worldly vision, as well as the misunderstanding and distrust brought about by the gap in age and experience between the two.

It can be seen that Peng Xiwen spent a lot of thought to enrich the original story.

Looking back at the beginning, he actually didn't have a thorough understanding of Shen Ye's affairs.He didn't know what Ye Li was facing in the ivory tower, and he didn't know how that photo became the last straw that crushed the professor.He didn't expect that during that time, there would be such a turbulent undercurrent in the seemingly peaceful campus.

Under Huo Ling's exquisite and unintentional plot arrangement, the whole story was completed in one go, and he felt out of breath after reading it.

He felt the real pressure, but with it came the urge and expectation to complete it.

At seven o'clock in the morning, the crew gathered in the abandoned teaching building of L University.

Because the school is expanding, in order to integrate resources, a part of the old campus was vacated, just for them to use when filming.The corridors and roads are full of abandoned building materials and some messy garbage. With the dense fog, the surrounding area is full of depression and dilapidation.

Most of the team formed this time are familiar faces, and it is easy to cooperate because of the reason of previous cooperation.

The assistant director who worked with "Seat" before is still doing the same job this time, as lively as ever, and will come to smooth things over when the atmosphere is stiff because of Huo Ling's cold face.

Because it was his first time acting, Chen Mingfan couldn't adapt to the rhythm of the set, and was severely criticized by Huo Ling many times. After the morning show, he came to Yi Chang for dinner in disgrace.

When they arrived at the dining place, Chen Mingfan stiffened when he saw Huo Ling and wanted to walk to the side, but Yi Chang could only find a corner and sit down with him.

It's been a long time since breakfast, and they can already hear the symphony in their stomachs, and they quickly open the lunch box and start cooking as soon as they sit down.

"Damn, I'm really starving to death..." Chen Mingfan said.

At this time, two acquaintances walked not far from them, and Yi Chang waved to them with his mouth puffed up.

The other side also greeted him, sat down unhurriedly, and began to chat and eat.

"It's not easy. This time, I thought I couldn't shoot it. I was almost going to be scolded by my wife again." The producer broke the disposable chopsticks and rubbed them.

The person in charge of the photography took a sip of the soup and said, "Isn't that right, our Director Huo is also lucky this time, and Feng Shui turns around. I think we are in this state, even if we can't make it to the theaters, it's worth it, there is a show!"

"Don't talk too early, let's do it down-to-earth. By the way, guess who saved us this time?"

"Who? You know?"

"Sheng, Ye." Seeing the other party's eyes widening in surprise, the producer smiled and said, "I didn't expect that."

"Just kidding, why did they vote for this kind of movie? When did you start doing art without making money?"

"Hey, who knows. At the beginning, their investment department didn't care about us, but in a blink of an eye, their attitude changed. Maybe they really think that our film can make a lot of money..."

Yi Chang was eating and listening to their conversation when he was suddenly hit on the head by a chopstick.

He turned his head in doubt, and Chen Mingfan gestured to his lunch box, saying, "Hurry up and eat! You will be scolded for being late later."

The intensity of the first few days of filming was already quite high.Because the rented site will be remodeled in one month, they have no more space, so they can only complete it as soon as possible within a limited time.

One afternoon, the shooting equipment suddenly broke down, and Yi Chang's evening scene could only be postponed until tomorrow, so he had to call it quits early.

When I walked out of the field and breathed in the fresh air, my originally tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and I felt a violent drowsiness.He took off the glasses worn by the character on the bridge of his nose, and slowly walked out of the campus.

The air at night is still hot and dry, and some old men on the street have already started to sit shirtless, chatting with each other.A group of young students passed by him, and a few cast him inquiring eyes.

He was still a little nervous at first, but when he thought that his appearance was very different from the past, he relaxed a little, lifted the mask up again, and hailed a car.

"Where are you going, boy?" the driver asked him.

"go……"

For a moment he couldn't think of any other place, so he reported the address he was most familiar with.

The car arrived at the gate of the community not long after.

Compared with when he just left, this place is much more lively, but the neat camphor trees on the streets and the bright and bright gates of the community are still the same.

The cold drink shop that he and Shen Yusheng loved to go to at that time is still open, and the price list has many more flavors that young people like to drink nowadays.He went to order a cup of their lemon tea, took a sip and found that it was still the same.

The building they used to live in was facing the entrance of the small garden downstairs, so it was very easy to find.However, the structure of the first floor has been changed, and the original house has been turned into a bright hall, where a few men and women pushing baby carriages are watching their children playing and chatting happily about homework.

The steps at the door turned into marble pavement, which looked much cleaner than before, and he sat down without thinking much.

Yi Xin once told him that people should not be too nostalgic, otherwise they will not be able to walk.

How could he not understand.The person he loves so much that he can't let go is actually the boy who stands upright and stands between him and his father even though he lacks momentum. He came home in the rain with a high fever and helped him fight without saying a word. Steady but somewhat childish boy.

At that time, everything was pure, including Shen Yusheng and him.

Eight years have passed, and he himself has changed beyond recognition, how can he have the qualifications to ask other people or scenes to stay where they are and wait for him quietly.

The alarm clock Rong Yin set for him on the phone rang, and it was time for the medicine.He took out the medicine bottle, poured out two pills and swallowed them as prescribed by the doctor.

Under the effect of the drug, he watched the dimming lights in the distant building and slowly closed his eyes.

In the confused consciousness, there were some noises that seemed to be there.He covered his ears reflexively, but the voice lingered like a ghost.

He raised his eyelids with difficulty, but his eyes were blurred.He wanted to stand up, but his whole body couldn't move as if he was frozen.

...has it started again?

Suddenly he felt that a figure appeared in front of him.

The outline of the other party was familiar to him. He couldn't see his facial features clearly, but he knew who it was.

He didn't understand, he had already taken the medicine seriously, why did the other party bother him in his hallucination?

With a light foot, the body was hugged, and the solid chest conveyed an unreal temperature to him.

Maybe it's time for him to change his dressing, he thought.

……

As the night deepened, only two or three shops were still open on the street, and a few passers-by cast strange glances at the man.

Shen Yusheng opened the co-driver's door, carefully put the person in, took off his coat and covered the young man, and then fastened his seat belt.

The car was moving slowly, and he observed the people around him from time to time.

When the young man first got into the car, he still talked in his sleep, but gradually he calmed down, and now he has fallen into a deep sleep.

The compartment is filled with a long-lost fresh smell.He suddenly felt a little hot, so he loosened his tie and lowered the temperature of the air conditioner.

When he reached the entrance of the villa, the young man was still asleep, so he said softly, "Xiao Chang, Xiao Chang?"

The other party just frowned and tilted his head to the other side, looking uncomfortable.His heart sank, and he reached out to touch his forehead.

Fortunately, there is no fever.He heaved a sigh of relief, got out of the car and went around to the co-pilot and opened the door.He unbuckled his seat belt to pick him up, but his hand was grasped as soon as it touched his back.

The young man still closed his eyes, subconsciously pushed his hand out, and whispered: "Let go..."

The cool body temperature pressed against his skin.Under the dim light, the shadows of the young man's eyelashes cast on his handsome and thin face, trembling slightly because of uneasiness.

Shen Yusheng rolled his Adam's apple a few times, reached out to caress his face, and said softly, "Hey, we're home."

At this time, a voice suddenly came from behind: "Shen Yusheng?"

He turned around and found that Rong Yin was looking at him suspiciously. When he saw the person sitting in the car, he was a little surprised and asked, "Why is Yi Chang here?"

Shen Yusheng didn't know how to explain for a moment, he just said: "He fell asleep, you can take him up."

The other party glanced at him, stepped forward to look carefully at the unconscious person on the co-pilot, and said, "Why did you get sick again..."

Then Rong Yin put Yi Chang's arms on his shoulders and stood up, and was stopped just as he lifted out of the car.

"Rong Yin, don't tell him I've been here."

Rong Yin raised his eyebrows, and joked: "Why, do good deeds without leaving a name?"

Shen Yusheng just looked at him and said, "Please."

It is said that the appearance this time was just a coincidence, probably no one would believe it.

The behavior of stalking may be a bit despicable, but maybe it is the only way to satisfy one's greed and prevent the other party from being hurt.

Even if he wanted more than that, he knew he had to be patient.

"I see, don't worry," the other party smiled, "By the way, please help me with my sister's affairs, and now the whole family is disturbed by her."

Shen Yusheng frowned, and just about to say something, he left.

He faced the door and watched his back fade away, then took out a cigarette and lit it.
