Son of the Bone

Qi Lin heated up the iron pan and poured lard and olive oil into it together.

When filming the movie, he once followed Jin Qinger in the back kitchen and got covered in oily fumes. After taking a shower after filming, he could still smell the smell of grilled bacon from under his nails.

After the dried chili is fried, it exudes a spicy and strong taste. The bone soup that has been prepared for a long time is stewed in together. Spice bag and cooking wine.

The pig's trotters are soaked in it to absorb the strong aroma of the bone broth, and the rich and mellow taste also diffuses into the living room.

When the stew is almost turned off, the chopsticks will be very soft when poked in.

They soaked a pot of pig's trotters in the marinade, let them simmer naturally for half an hour with the residual temperature, washed their hands and went to the piano.

There is a black triangle Steinway at home, which was chosen by Qi Lin.

He asked Jiang Jue to sit beside him, took a deep breath, and began to play the piece.

Created in 1834, dedicated to the German pianist Clara, Liszt's "Bell".

The fragmented and light piano sound is almost like a brisk ticking sound, repeating the sound of countless bells, big and small.

The melody sounds brisk and gorgeous, with a unique vigor.

This piece is a performance-level professional piece. Although the length is only 4 minutes, the arpeggio of the whole piece needs to frequently span octaves to sixteenths. In order to simulate the bell, the speed of the song will continue to increase, and in the end it is almost impossible for the ears to catch it. individual notes.

When Qi Lin concentrated on playing the piano, the overflowing notes of the piano sounded like a bouncing chickadee. It seemed that there was really a wall clock hanging nearby, and the vertical needle was constantly swinging from side to side.

His left hand played light and short portamento effortlessly, and his right hand was full of perfectly syncopated sixteenth notes. When it came to the second section, ornamental notes continued to be added and variations began, even bells is also like this.

A swinging bell is like a swinging heart.

The glissando jump keeps making the phrases move upwards, and countless small bells collide with each other, starting to resonate with different sounds.

The speed began to get faster and faster, as if something was urging and waiting.

His hands are white and clean, and the joints are clearly defined. At this moment, the ring fingers are so fast that there are only afterimages left.

Jiang Jue sat next to him and listened to it silently. When the song was over, he began to applaud very consciously.

Although Qi Lin has played many times in front of him, he also said with a smile that there is no need to applaud.

But every time he saw this side of him as a talented musician, he would be shocked beyond words.

He is so focused and sincere beside the piano that even the listener can't help but hold his breath.

Qi Lin carefully covered the piano, and suddenly said: "I want to write the theme song for this movie."

"Leave the soundtrack to me, too."

"Okay." Jiang Jue confirmed that he would no longer play, and then said: "This song is really very suitable-but it doesn't feel very good to play."

When he told Qi Lin about the script, Qi Lin quickly understood what he meant.

Many victims of sexual assault do not go to the police or ask for help because they think they are guilty.

This kind of guilty psychology is not only the fear of the blasphemous cognition of "I am not clean", but sometimes it is also because the sexually assaulted person himself has pleasure in the process of being hurt——

The country has always lacked three types of education.

Love, death, and sex.

It seems that all three are the taboo of taboos and should not be talked about openly.

But the fact is that many victims of sexual assault are ignorant in the process of being hurt.

They may be asleep, being checked, or simply not aware of what is happening.

But the body is equally honest about hunger, thirst, and sex.

A criminal handed a glass of water to a man who hadn't drank for three days, drinking it would also quench his thirst.

The instinctive reaction of the body is not controlled by the mind, but the same thing happens to sex, and it becomes extremely sinful.

Once the sexually assaulted person really feels pleasure during physical contact, there will be a kind of pain of being dragged into the water by the criminal, and endless self-denial.

They will constantly blame themselves, hate themselves, and even engage in various self-harming behaviors when they wake up to pain.

And this matter is something that schools, textbooks, and parents cannot educate.

The main theme of "The Bell", as well as its own characteristics, is the continuous crazy swinging piano sound.

Constantly left and right, back and forth, constant questioning, regret, pain, denial, and rejection.

Am I guilty when I experience pleasure?

Am I still the one who got hurt?

——Do I still deserve to be forgiven and protected?

The bell keeps jumping and swaying, and the mood sinks with the accelerated phrase.

Just like the more and more passionate emotions throughout the movie, and the questioning issued by the psychiatrist at the end.

Liszt's "The Bell" itself is a work of showmanship, mixing various styles and techniques in the movement, but it is actually very difficult to play.

If Qi Lin hadn't resumed piano practice after moving in the last few months, he might have made a mistake if he could go through it all.

"I'm afraid it will take five years to play this piece fluently and freely."

He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said seriously, "But you don't have to play for 4 minutes."

Jiang Jue was stunned for a moment, and began to think about the problem from the director's point of view: "Let's take out a few individual phrases that are easy to practice, and use them to actually shoot the silhouette of the playing, right?"

"Well, the rest will be dubbed by a professional teacher from the Philharmonic Orchestra." Qi Lin thought for a while, went to the study and printed out a sheet music, and began to mark with a pen where it was easy to learn and easy to play.

At the beginning, the simple repetitive sound, the right finger taps the black key and the left finger plays a simple melody, at least after a few days of learning, you can play it smoothly.

Screen out troublesome phrases for a strum shot, but still make it all up on film.

It would be best if the little actor could also play the piano.

Thinking of this, Qi Lin suddenly slipped the tip of his pen, looked at Jiang Jue and said, "Your plot—how should children be filmed?!"

They also read the script for a while while they were braised the pig's trotters. The whole book was written by Jiang Jue, and it still showed traces of constant revisions and adjustments six or seven times.

There are no sex scenes in the script, no rape, just sexual assault.

However, sexually assaulting young girls under the age of 14 is still illegal, and is punishable by up to five years in prison and criminal detention.

But the little girl actor not only had to seek help from her parents, teachers, and psychologists, but she also shed tears, panicked, and had nightmares, showing all kinds of self-criminal reactions.

There's simply no way she could be acting this without her knowing, but the actual script is every word a sin.

The most frightening thing is that there is only one psychology teacher in the school, and it is male.

Although sex education textbooks talk about asking parents for help and teachers for help when encountering problems, the truth is that sometimes the perpetrators are themselves.

What's even more frightening is that the society of the time country has not yet established a complete protection system——

The teacher did not dare to take responsibility and call the police.

What should I do if I really called the police, but the parents did not take it seriously, or the teacher was retaliated against if the sexual assault was not detained and sent to prison?

Parents regard their reputation as life, want to press all these things down, and even reprimand the teacher for meddling, what should I do?

What if the parents themselves are the sexual predators?

The script takes all these complicated factors into consideration, and makes the different characters perform full of sarcasm.

——Qi Lin couldn't even believe it was him

The first fully formed screenplay.

When Bai Ping helped to modify, he adjusted the functions of several characters, directly making the story three-dimensional.

"I asked about this in advance." Jiang Jue looked at the pig's hooves, and went to pick them up. After giving Qi Lin a taste, he began to pack them in different food boxes and prepared to send them to the pigs. to their respective parents.

"Foreign horror movies and social movies, such as "The Shining" in the United States, or "The Melting Pot" in South Korea, many of them protect minor actors to the greatest extent." He lowered his head and fastened the packaging, and said calmly: "We Can do better."

Those young actors not only had special child psychologists and police explain the script to them in front of the camera before filming, but also during the actual filming, the audience only saw him and the criminal alone, but in fact it was a group of lighting engineers, props, directors and directors. and light barriers around them.

It is enough to be able to finish the lines, and the main role of acting is still those adults who have been professionally trained.

The young actor of "The Shining" didn't even know that he had made a horror film until he was an adult.

They went together to deliver warm pig's trotters to the Bai Jiang couple in another villa not far away, then got off the elevator and went to the garage, and Qi Lin drove to visit Qi Wu and his wife.

Holding a large box of warm pig's trotters, Jiang Jue casually thought about the filming cycle of this film.

I'm afraid it will take more than three or four months, and I still have to practice the piano...

Even if it's actually just playing a few phrases, it's better to be as smooth as possible.

Qi Ding went abroad for a meeting, leaving only Wu Qiuyi at home.

They appeared at the door like elves on Halloween, and even brought delicious braised pig's trotters.

Wu Qiuyi happily accepted the gift, kissed each of the older boys on the forehead, and invited them to come in and eat some fruit.

"The two of you graduated like a young couple," she handed fresh lychees and grapes, and smiled while sitting on the sofa: "It looks like a really good match—have you ever thought about getting married?"

I'm only 21 now, isn't it too early to get married?

Qi Lin glanced at Jiang Jue, helped smooth things over and said, "It's time to be busy with your career, so don't be in a hurry to get the certificate—"

"It's nothing to get the certificate," Wu Qiuyi handed Jiang Jue a lychee and said, "But it's up to you. Old Qi and I were worried that you were just playing for a while."

But after being in touch for a long time, I love it from the bottom of my heart.

This kid is just too cute.

"How about this?" Jiang Jue peeled the lychee, and his white fingertips were soaked with a thin layer of juice: "If Qi Lin wins the Best Actor next year, I will propose."

Qi Lin chuckled, and said reluctantly: "My mother heard it here, so don't go back on your word when the time comes."

Wu Qiuyi was talking casually at first, but he didn't expect the two kids to be so serious: "You think being a film star is to buy barbecued pork, so you can order as much as you want."

"It doesn't matter," Qi Lin's eyes seemed to be twinkling with little stars: "That's it."
