On the Hundred Ways of Chasing Mermaids

The movie that Director Song got was not a public release, it didn't have a long opening title, and even the name of the main creator was omitted, so he got straight to the point and got to the point.

Therefore, before he calmed down from his shock, Xu Chang turned his head and saw a vibrant picture appear on the screen.

The mountains are verdant, the sun is shining directly, and the camera moves from far to near, staying in front of the only school in this small mountain village.It is said to be a school, but in fact it is just a room in the dilapidated earth temple, with old tables and chairs, which is the classroom.

The students are of different ages, shaking their heads and reciting the words of the sage.The wife's sideburns are already white, and the clothes are so washed that the color cannot be seen, and she is reading a book calmly.Suddenly, a dog barked outside the door, the master turned his head, and a ragged boy was thrown down by the thin old dog, and fell to the door in embarrassment.

The students who were studying stopped for a moment, and the scene was quiet for a while.

The boy raised his head in embarrassment, the camera zoomed in, and his light-colored eyes suddenly zoomed in on the screen.Embarrassment, bewilderment, longing... It seems that a burst of electricity escapes from the screen and connects the bridge of hearts, making people involuntarily empathize with the characters.

Director Song involuntarily put down the wine bottle, straightened his back, and focused his eyes slightly: It's interesting.

If the picture, color, and the plot at the beginning can only be rated as six points, this look directly increases the score to eight points.

...This is a talented actor.

The plot is still going on, and as expected, Master accepted this young man named "Zhao Changge" as a student.Changge's parents died young, and he lived alone in the village by collecting herbs and farming.

After Zhao Changge became a teacher, he learned a few martial arts from the theater troupe in the neighboring village. With his growing strength as he grew older, no one dared to bully him.

At the old master's house, I and my granddaughter, together with Changge, use the wild game that they hunted from the mountains to honor Mr., and have been in contact a lot. When eating at the master's house, they have an extra pair of chopsticks.

So far, the plot has been smooth sailing.Apart from Zhao Changge's stunning eyes, it seems that only the picture and the setting are worth talking about.

But... things are not that simple.

Director Song couldn't help frowning. Although it was just a simple plot, it couldn't be called a fast pace, but it always gave people a sense of calm and surging waves.

Turning his head, he found that other people in the room were staring at the screen, concentrating on it.

Orgasms always happen when there is no sound.

Changge secretly fell in love with his junior sister, and before his master agreed, he met the county magistrate's office.This young man had a fat head and greasy face, and his eyes, staring at his junior sister, suddenly lit up.

coming!

A heart that was dropped in mid-air finally fell down.On the screen, Changge found an opportunity to teach the magistrate a lesson without saying a word, and the other party's revenge followed.

It is obviously a downward plot, but Director Song let out a breath and laughed: How could he not have thought that in this turbulent season, the rural scenery of the mountain village like a peach blossom garden at the beginning of the movie was originally walking on the edge of a cliff, revealing everywhere? sense of violation.

And this sense of disobedience is the director's little trick to tantalize people.

The director's storytelling skills are really amazing.

Then, the plot took a sharp turn for the worse.The officials came along and used the excuse that there was a change in the border and conscription.The master arranged for the two to get married that night. On the second day of the wedding, they bumped to death on the pillar in front of the door.

Changge kept his filial piety, but still failed to get rid of the call.

On the day the Master was buried, he was sent to the battlefield in shackles.Going out of the county, turning your head far away, your home is far away.In front of him, a path full of thorns slowly spread out in front of his eyes.

The room was silent.

Eyes, eyes again.When Zhao Changge looked back, the look in his eyes was like a hammer blow, hitting people's hearts hard.

Song Dao sullenly lit a cigarette and took a few deep puffs to calm down his inner depression.

"Look."

Director Song left a room full of astonished members and went out.

"...What's the matter?" A few seconds later, someone asked quietly.

Xu Chang sighed, turned his head and explained: "Our movie is suspended."

Regardless of the language, the plot of "The Long Song" is completely aimed at the tastes of the judges of the International Film Festival... a romantic tragedy, individual heroism, and conflicts between times and people.

Everyone's heart sank.

"Do you want to continue watching?" In the silence, someone asked.

Xu Chang gritted his teeth: "Look!"

Go west all the way, cross mountains and ridges, and stop at the border.The wind blows, and the dust is all over the face.At dusk and sunset, there is no greenery for thousands of miles.This is where Zhao Changge will live next.

The harsh environment was not the only predicament. When receiving these new recruits, what did the transported officers and soldiers say to the receiver, the man looked at Zhao Changge thoughtfully, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

It was not until a long time later that Zhao Changge realized that the county magistrate he had offended was not as simple as a seventh-rank official.The other party was the bastard son of a big family in the capital.

And the general who commanded them was the uncle of the magistrate.

It's just that Zhao Changge at this time didn't know, and had no way of knowing.He just passively greeted the ensuing tribulations—the different treatment from Shangfeng, the deliberate alienation and even betrayal of his colleagues, and the most dangerous missions one after another.

When he went to the battlefield, he rushed to the forefront; when discussing meritorious service, he did not have his name. During the seven years, the military merit accumulated several times through life and death should have allowed him to be promoted to a centurion, but he is still a bald soldier.

His friends in the same village advised him in private: give in, find a way to make amends with the county magistrate.

In the past few years, the county magistrate has been promoted all the way, leading the prefecture, and the official prestige is even greater.

Zhao Changge was unresponsive, neglected to take care of himself, his chin grew a beard like weeds, and in the night, the bonfire burned, printing his eyes——

In addition to being as clear as before, there is also the calmness bestowed by years of training.It's very strange that such eyes will appear on this person who should hate everything.

He held the wine steadily, took a sip, and raised his head: "I'm not wrong."

His wife in his hometown died of the epidemic two months ago, so he was alone in the world and had no more worries.The price he paid for his willfulness was nothing more than his life.

This persistence is just like when he went to attend lectures outside the school, rain or shine.

The accomplices shook their heads and sighed, but no one persuaded them any more.

In May, when the border was in an emergency, Zhao Changge was extremely brave and killed countless enemies. He entered three times and went out three times, taking the head of the enemy leader Xiang Shang in the chaos.After ten years of sharpening his knife, his brilliance can no longer be blocked.

The enemy retreats.

He finally got the reward he deserved, and was promoted to lieutenant according to his military merits.

At the end of the year, he still rushed to the front line, leading the team to chase the enemy for thousands of miles and win.He was rewarded by Lieutenant Yunqi and awarded by General Zhaoxin.At the end of seven years, I went through wind and rain all the way, and when I arrived at my hometown, the weeds on my wife's grave had already grown.

Ask the enemy again, the former magistrate died in the officialdom and political struggle three months ago.

The cold air hit the winter night, and the air-conditioning turned into frost when it met the armor. In front of the grave, Zhao Changge kowtowed three times to his master, got up, straddled his horse and left.

His heart was empty, just like the boundless sky in front of him, he had nowhere to go except the border guarded by him for seven years.

"Alas..." Someone in the room sighed, and after realizing it, he quickly covered his mouth.However, at this time, others had no time to pay attention to his gaffe.

Going thousands of miles to the military plane, Guanshan is like flying.

Zhao Changge returned to the border. It seemed that he had already experienced all the hardships in this life in the first half of his life. When he came back again, he had smooth sailing and made outstanding achievements.

In the next year, his name spread to the capital, and the emperor cherished him, and he was once honored and favored.However, the traitors and sycophants in the court are not angry, and they repeatedly slander.All mouths make gold, and the emperor is young, so he is suspicious.

There are handsome talents, but no masters.

Success eventually turned into misfortune, the enemy invaded, and the reinforcements did not arrive.The general died on the battlefield, and now the body is still shrouded in horse leather.

The soundtrack at the end is "Out of the Fortress" played by Hujia, which is vast and rich, and the lingering sound is lingering.The loess and cooking smoke at the border pass seem to have been vividly remembered.

"ended."

Looking at each other, the people present couldn't help but smile bitterly: They were obviously here to inquire about the enemy's situation, but in the end, it turned into watching a movie.What's even more frightening is that they... seem to have something to say.

The trance brought by "Long Song" lasted until the day of the red carpet, and then disappeared a little bit.The decent actors on and off the crew put on the costumes provided by the sponsors one after another, and packed them up. The courtesy car sent by the Water City Film Festival Organizing Committee was already waiting under the hotel.

The depression of the actors finally eased up when they saw the courtesy car.

Invitation letters are easy to get, and relatives and friends of the jury, invitations from sponsors, and even local celebrities can all get the treatment of walking on the red carpet.However, taking the courtesy car of the program group to go there is not the treatment that the former and his like can enjoy.

After all, they legitimately own the entries.

Sure enough, when the crew got off the concierge car, they constantly received envious eyes from all directions, which inevitably made people feel a little bit smug.

The red carpet part of the film festival is often the hardest hit area for Huaguo stars to market and improve their style.Before the group of them stepped onto the red carpet, they looked around and saw an actress wearing a bright red gown with classical elements, stopping in the special interview and shooting area, posing and refusing to leave.

The embarrassing thing is that the photographers from all over the world fiddled with the camera with their heads down, and no one appreciated the beauty's demeanor.

"Tsk." Xu Chang raised his eyebrows.

Sure enough, security guards soon came forward and took the man away.

Behind him, there was a crew who came to promote the work by themselves, but because the leading actor was not dressed properly, they were simply stopped outside the door.Not long after, the two sides quarreled, which fell into the ears of Xu Chang and others, and they couldn't help but look at each other.

"These ghosts have a lot of rules." Xu Chang sighed.

Song Dao snorted and said, "That's not true. Others can clearly measure how much weight you have." However, it is these straightforward and even naked level settings that make people fascinated and continue to follow.

Of course, they soon realized that they were also part of this hierarchical chain.

The blond-haired staff with a sign rushed over and told them in broken Chinese that next, two big-name celebrities were going to walk the red carpet, and the program crew would clear the venue for them. back.

Do as the Romans do, Xu Chang and others had no choice but to laugh, back away, and give way to the venue.

"I don't know who is coming? Hollywood superstars?"

The red carpet, which was bustling a minute ago, became empty in a short time.The reporters noticed this change, picked up their cameras at the same time, and looked in the direction of the entrance.

Luxurious concierge car from far to near.

Xu Chang was surprised, and asked in a low voice: "The courtesy cars of this program group are also graded?"

The car that picked them up was a Fiat made in Italy.But in front of him, slowly approaching... is a bright red Maserati!

Now, even Director Song couldn't help but swear - these snobs!

"I want to see who is in this car!"

The host of the film festival is Eva, a well-known hostess in Italy.Forget about local stars in Italy, she rarely knows, let alone introduces, stars from other countries.

According to the commonly known rules, when walking on the red carpet, being recognized by the host and introduced is an extra point for the guests.Generally, those who have this honor are mostly internationally famous big names.

Only this time, Miss Eva's face was full of joy, like a little fan, her eyes were shining brightly at the parked concierge car.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am very honored to introduce the following guest to you - she is from Huaguo, Hollywood has become famous, and there have been many classic movies for more than ten years. She is-"

Someone has spontaneously shouted the name of "Ruan Butterfly".

However, before Ruan Yinghou got out of the car, a young man got out of the car with his head down, and stretched out his hand into the car with a smile.Ruan Yinghou was not polite, and got out of the car with the other party's hand.

"Lancy!" Xu Chang blurted out in surprise.

This face has repeatedly appeared in his dreams in recent days.However, the person in the dream is called Zhao Changge, not Lanxi.

"How could he be with Queen Ruan!"

You know, Lanxi is gaining momentum in China, and the topic is exploding.But compared to Ruan Die, who has been immersed in the circle for many years and has reached the peak, it is still a lot worse.

Ruan Yinghou has not set foot on the red carpet for many years, but now she has broken the precept. The answer is self-evident for whom it is all for.

Sure enough, with Ruan Yinghou's blessing, Lancey got the attention of everyone present.

Xu Chang heard someone muttering in his ear: "Who is that man?",

"do not know."

"never seen it."

No matter how popular Lanxi is, isn't she the same as them, who became unknown after going abroad?A bit of despicable pleasure rose in Xu Chang's heart.

However.At this moment, "1, 2, 3—Lancey!" came from both sides of the red carpet.

"Lancey!"

Xu Chang turned his head and looked, at some point, there were many more fans wearing q-version blue Xiaoyu tops on both sides of the red carpet. Seeing Lanxi waving, they excitedly called out the names of their idols.

Noisy, Xu Chang thought to himself.

His attention was attracted by enthusiastic fans, but he didn't realize that when the host Eva heard Lanxi's name, her eyes lit up suddenly, suppressing her excitement, and introduced to everyone:

"Lancy? This gentleman, is it the ocean sweetheart from China?"

After saying that, the surrounding Italians suddenly seemed to have turned on some switch, and looked up and down Lanxi with enthusiastic eyes, and their eyes were full of surprise:

"Yes, is that the one in the Huaxia promotional video?"

"God, he is China's sweetheart!"

"Look how cute he is!!"

sweetheart?

Lancey was dizzy, staggered, and almost fell.

...Of course, his mistake once again attracted the enthusiasm of the Italians to further marvel at the "sweetheart baby".

"God, oh oh, I'm going crazy. Even the tripping pose is so cute!"
