Nice to be a cat [Rebirth]

The crew of "Buddha of Peking" started early, and Wang Ning's habit is to shoot the interior scenes first, but because there are young actors in the middle, and it is already mid-February, we have to take advantage of the days when it is still snowing to shoot the snow mirror scene first. It's all over.

At the beginning of the filming, the hardest person was the young actor who played the young Buddha, that is, the little Douding that Xie Fenghua bumped into on the day of the audition.

Xiao Douding's name is Xiaoming, and he is six years old.Probably an interest inherited from his father, he is very passionate about acting.There are not many scenes that Douding will act in, and the filming can be finished within one day, but it is quite hard work for children.

The first scene was to steal a baked sweet potato in the outer pocket of a man's padded jacket, but he was caught, which is why he met the master who taught him the craft.Because Little Buddha was an abandoned orphan, he had to steal food to survive in order to survive.So the little actor was dressed in shabby clothes, a large piece of worn-out rags to wear over his head, which looked like something he picked up from some garbage dump.The make-up artist turned him into a complete little beggar, unkempt, with his toes sticking out through the holes in his straw sandals.

There are more women in the art team, and seeing such a young child filming in the snow, I feel sorry for him.So, although Xiaodouding's clothes didn't seem to keep out the cold at all, he was wearing thermal clothes and a warm baby wrapped around him.It was contributed by the girls in the art team. They were afraid that the child would freeze, so they wished to use warm stickers to make a dress for Xiao Douding and wear it inside.

After all, the child's physique is not as good as that of an adult. In case Xiao Douding catches a cold, Wang Ning will ask people to put on shoes for him when taking close-up shots, and then take them off and stand on the ground barefoot for a while when taking long-range shots.Although the warmest day was chosen for shooting, the temperature in Beijing was still below zero. Xiao Douding was not wearing a hat, and his nose turned red from the cold in a short while.But this little guy is also strong, Wang Ning will stop after several shots, and the backup staff will immediately take down jackets and close-up shots of the last few shots that need to run across the ground with bare feet, Xiao Douding quickly Being carried into the car to keep warm made Xie Fenghua extremely envious.

Xie Fenghua felt that it was necessary to understand the characters when they were young, so he followed Xiao Douding on the set as long as he was filming, sitting next to the director and watching the monitor together.

The crew temporarily built a small shed on the set, and the monitors were placed here.Xie Fenghua's warm stickers were all used by Xiao Douding, and as for the warm treasures he bought in advance, they also lent them to Tian Mengmeng.It was the first time for that girl to come to the north, and the warming equipment was not well prepared. Seeing that she was going to suck her nose every few seconds, Xie Fenghua felt a little offended, so he gave her his own heat treasure first, and a roll of it as a gift toilet paper.Then he ran to the small shed by himself, looking for Wang Ning's electric fan.

"Ah!"

The shed where the monitors are placed is not tight, with cold wind blowing in almost from all sides, and only an electric fan barely maintains the temperature here.Xie Fenghua was sitting near the door, and not long after, he sneezed solidly.

Xie Fenghua made such a loud noise out of nowhere, startling Wang Ning who was staring at the monitor seriously. "Your physique is not good." Seeing that Xie Fenghua's nose was about to be frozen, Wang Ning couldn't help complaining.

Xie Fenghua rubbed his hands, stood up and jumped on the spot.It's not that he has poor physique, it's just that he is afraid of the cold, and he has been like this since he was reborn as a cat.

"Would you like some drink?" When Ningxia came to the set in the morning, she brought hot water and put it in a thermos, with goji berries soaked in it.Although more than half a day has passed, the wolfberry water in the thermos is still steaming.Ningxia poured wolfberry water into a paper cup and handed it to Xie Fenghua, just in time to warm his hands.

Noticing the script on Ningxia's lap and the faint blue marks in her eyes, Xie Fenghua silently took a sip of wolfberry water.

She has to follow the movie "Buddha of Peking" throughout the whole process, and if she feels that something is not good enough, she will immediately make changes.Because Ning Xia is the only screenwriter in the crew, and she doesn't need an assistant, so compared to other screenwriters, Ning Xia may have to work harder.

"From the script alone, what do you think... the protagonist is like?" Ning Xia asked.

"Uh..." Xie Fenghua paused, then looked at Ningxia again, as if to confirm to her, did he really want to listen to his opinion?

"Just say what you really think."

Xie Fenghua touched the tip of his nose, hesitated for a moment, and said a word.

"I think...he's actually a pretty selfish person."

"Why do you think so?" Ning Xia asked.

Similar to most anti-Japanese heroes, Little Buddha also sacrificed with honor in the end.But in Xie Fenghua's view, he is still a very selfish person.Lin Xiaoxiao in the play is Little Buddha's childhood playmate, including Wu Yuexian, the three of them grew up together.Lin Xiaoxiao is lively, cute, and beautiful. It can be said that he is the goddess in the heart of Little Buddha.Later, the goddess was persecuted by the Japanese invaders and died with regret.Because of hatred in his heart, Little Buddha began to help the underground party deliver various information, walking on the verge of death several times.

In the beginning, Little Buddha sent information to avenge Lin Xiaoxiao.After the Japanese invaders who murdered Lin Xiaoxiao were caught, Little Buddha still devoted himself to the War of Resistance Against Japan and had no intention of quitting.It's just that Xie Fenghua doesn't think that Little Buddha is carrying a heavy sense of mission because he thinks that one piece of information can save thousands of lives...

No one can say for certain whether those scenes that portray homosexuality in a darker way will be cut when the film is sent to the Bureau of Light for censorship.Therefore, after the release of "Buddha of Peking", there may be some deviations from the script. Perhaps in the eyes of the audience, the little Buddha is a hero who sacrificed for the righteousness of the country, but Xie Fenghua thinks that this person is just on the road of pursuing his dream. , lost myself.

"In order to avenge Lin Xiaoxiao, Little Buddha joined the anti-Japanese ranks. Later, because of a compliment from the special commissioner, he felt that he could finally become a hero. When I read the back of the script, I always had the feeling that every time Little Buddha sent A piece of information is actually just for the word "hero", because it is a sense of vanity that he has never had before, and the so-called "revenge" is just a disguise for this vanity. At this point, Xie Fenghua inexplicably thought of "Wu Yuexian".

After Little Buddha's death, Wu Yuexian spent most of his life in that theater, never married a wife, and had no one to accompany him.It is a pity that those who survived the Anti-Japanese War failed to survive the Cultural Revolution. Wu Yuexian committed suicide in the end, leaning against a moon gate in the backyard and swallowing a large amount of sleeping pills. A long time ago, someone wrapped some sweet-scented osmanthus cakes in it.

"Wu Yuexian also thought that Little Buddha had put their feelings for so many years behind the country, so he felt that he was helpless. How could he understand that he was actually just lost to one person's greed... By the way, why did you suddenly Write this kind of tragic story?" Neither Little Buddha nor Wu Yuexian had a happy ending in the end.After reading the script of the movie "Buddha of Peking", Xie Fenghua's heart is only full of sadness.But he remembered that most of the scripts in Ning Xia's hands were about happiness and happiness. After reading it, people felt warm in their hearts, which is Ning Xia's style.But now this "Buddha of Peking" is very different from the previous scripts.

"Are you planning to transform?"

Who knew that Ning Xia shook her head with a smile, and explained to Xie Fenghua: "Actually, I didn't come up with the main idea of ​​this story."

It turned out that when Wang Ning's filming team was first established, they didn't have any books to shoot, and the scripts posted on the Internet looked so bad that they didn't even have the idea of ​​making people want to shoot them.At that time, Ningxia was in a period of exhaustion of inspiration, and she exhausted her brains in order to write a script that was neither tacky nor bad.Wang Ning saw that she couldn't even eat to think about the plot all day long, so she simply called the team to hold a small meeting to brainstorm.Everyone started to think about the story, and then wrote it on paper, and Ning Xia chose whichever one he thought was good, and then chose which one to expand. That's how "Peking Buddha" came about.

"You definitely don't know who was the one who came up with this story in the first place." Ning Xia blinked her eyes and smiled mysteriously.

"Of course I don't know. Where can I guess? Could it be Yin Nan?" Xie Fenghua said casually.

At this time, Wang Ning suddenly slapped his hands, looked away from the monitor, and told the staff outside to pass this way and change to another scene.Then, he turned to look at Xie Fenghua and told him the answer. "Hey, don't tell me, it's really Yin Nan. Don't look at that boy who is a warm man on the surface, but he is actually dirty in his heart. Otherwise, how could he come up with such a story to take revenge on the society."

"The director complains so openly, isn't he afraid of me making small reports? Anyway, I'm working under Yin Nan now!"

"Hahahaha that's not okay, he's cowardly." Ning Xia also laughed.

Xie Fenghua and Ningxia joked around for a while, then found an excuse to go out.To be honest, Xie Fenghua really didn't know who came up with the story. The reason why he guessed Yin Nan was just because he had a premonition. Who knew that he really got it right.

But this also made sense, Wu Yuexian loved Little Buddha to the bottom of his heart, but in that person's heart, he was not as important as the dead Lin Xiaoxiao.Isn't this Yin Nan's inertial thinking?

——He always loves to remember those irretrievable...

Suddenly remembering what happened before rebirth, Xie Fenghua couldn't help but feel depressed.He walked a little farther away from the set, and slowly stamped his footprints alone on a piece of untrodden snow.The snow was crushed under the soles of the feet, and there were creaks and creaks in the ears.Gusts of cold wind blew from behind, but Ke Xie Fenghua walked repeatedly in the snow as if he couldn't feel the cold.It wasn't until his ears ached from the cold that Xie Fenghua slowly took out his mobile phone from his pocket and called Yin Nan who was thousands of miles away.

"Hey?"

Within seconds, the call was connected.Obviously it was just a simple "Hello", but it was like a heavy hammer hitting Xie Fenghua's heart, pulling him out of his wild thoughts all at once. Suddenly, Xie Fenghua's brain went blank, He instantly forgot that he called Yin Nan because he wanted to say something.

"You...what are you doing?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Fenghua regretted it, and he squatted on the ground covering his face in annoyance.This is simply nonsense, today is not a weekend, what else can Yin Nan do besides work in the company?

There was a deep smile on the other side of the phone. He said that he was dealing with documents, and he asked Xie Fenghua what happened, and if he called suddenly if there was something wrong.

Yin Nan's gentle deep voice comforted Xie Fenghua, and gradually calmed down his restless heart.Xie Fenghua held the phone by his ear with one hand, and squeezed the collar he wore under his thick clothes with the other.In my heart, I silently told myself that what I am experiencing now is a brand new life, Yin Nan also loves him wholeheartedly, treats him well, and there is no Bai Yueguang between them.

But this cannot erase the traces of him being treated so mercilessly by Yin Nan.Xie Fenghua knew that he shouldn't blame Yin Nan, the current Yin Nan didn't know anything, and hadn't done anything... Xie Fenghua just...just felt wronged occasionally.

He sighed softly, quietly watching the white breath he exhaled disappear in the air.He said, "It's okay, I miss you..."
