Stay away from sick dogs [entertainment]

In mid-September, four weeks after the movie started, Shen Du and Jiang Yuan were about to finish filming.

Wang Jinfa first photographed the pair of Xin Yuan and Yao Zhen, and then there were two pairs of old comrades and young comrades.

The ending of Xin Yuan and Yao Zhen was that, while Zhu Yingying and Yao Zhen were preparing for their son's birthday party, they started performing arts again.On the other hand, Xin Yuan resigned and set foot on the train to the big city alone.

On the train, Xin Yuan found himself sitting opposite a young woman.Dry short hair, silver stud earrings, leather jacket, black T-shirt with a few shiny metal buttonholes on the waist of the T-shirt, a black tie knotted through the buttonhole, ripped pants, rivet boots, exquisite facial features, cold Indifferent, with a clear line of the mandible—it was Zhu Yingying's ex-girlfriend.

Xin Yuan didn't know each other, but the two of them saw the slightest similarity, so they started talking.

Xin Yuan said that his lover's parents did not agree with them being together, so his lover got married and had a child a year ago according to his parents' wishes, and he wanted to leave this place.And the woman on the other side said, so did she. She once liked a girl, but she didn't even disclose her identity to her parents. She would marry and have children naturally, and she couldn't accept it.

The two chatted all the way, and the knot in their hearts was gradually opened.The two of them said that "a new city will definitely bring a new life", but I don't know if it was for each other or for themselves.

Finally, the train slowly entered the platform.Xin Yuan took the suitcase and got out of the car, then looked at the men and women turbulent around him, raised his arm and took a photo: [Beijing Station. 】

He sent the photo to Yao Zhen's mobile phone in his hometown, and said: [Goodbye. 】【I'm about to start a new life. 】

On the other side, Yao Zhen's son's birthday party was lively and lively.After drinking a cup of yellow soup, Yao Zhen and his wife took turns to toast.Complaining to friends about "my daughter is not dating yet" and "my daughter insists on DINK", etc., Zhu Yingying's beautiful mother generously shared her parenting experience: "She has been sensible and obedient since she was a child", "She has never made me worry about it." "It's better for the child to hit it once, so that she can know right from wrong... Which is good and which is not, don't parents know..."

Yao Zhen received a text message from Xin Yuan and raised his eyes - "wife", mother, a group of relatives, all in a mess, he suddenly began to fantasize about the two of them together in the big city.He knew it was impossible, so he muttered, "I regret it..." Yao Zhen's mother was very surprised, patted him, and scolded him: "You have a child, and you are not sensible! Do you hear, some people are not yet married, some are not yet children How many people around you are envious of you these days!" Wang Jinfa said that Chinese family relationships are always shocking—this is an extremely selfless, deep but depressive feeling.

The shots on both sides intersect again.The laughter of Yao Zhen's family, Xin Yuan and others "new life".

Jiang Yuan knows that in the finished film, their pair is basically over by now.The old comrade and his wife tortured each other for 40 years. The wife of this character only found out the truth after five years of marriage. She broke down and screamed, but it didn't help. Divorce was difficult in those days, and the child had already been born.After being exposed, the wife has to endure her husband's slander, insult, and even violence all day long.He said she was disgusting, said she... and said that she was too stupid and willing to do it herself, as if she had an original sin.They abused each other all day long, and even fought, and they had at least five "boyfriends" during the men's period.Their rice and vegetables are opened separately, their clothes are washed separately, and their beds are also used separately.They usually don't communicate with each other, and then, suddenly, they fight because of who is too noisy, etc., in front of the children.The child was trembling all day long, and later became very gloomy.

As for young comrades, after taking their parents to see a psychologist, their parents still couldn't accept it, saying that there was a problem with social orientation, and they had learned bad things from Western countries, which affected young people. There was no such thing as homosexuality in their generation.So the protagonist went back to school, but before he left, he left some things behind, including documentaries on "comrade" and "DINK", research reports on homosexuality - some of them were old books from the 90s, and their teachers and classmates seriously I wrote a letter of support, and the bottom two letters came from my cousin!My cousin wrote in detail the whole process of his "coming out", and also expressed the understanding of the two of them, saying that the two of them would work together to persuade other relatives in the family, maintain the face of the two elders, and so on.Finally, it is the analysis of "very happy" written by the protagonist.

After the protagonist returned to school, he also sent some information from time to time, but his parents never replied until a certain day.The protagonist is about to take the postgraduate entrance examination, and he said that he can be very good.Then, the protagonist, who had no hope of receiving a reply at all, saw the screen flicker. He opened the WeChat on his mobile phone, and there was only one sentence in it: [You should take a test in a big city. 】This symbolizes the final acquiescence.

At the end of the film, the Forbidden City Lantern Festival.The "husband and wife" Zhu Yingying and Yao Zhen brought their son, they seemed to be in harmony, and the lights reflected on their faces, colorful.It was the Lantern Festival in the Forbidden City. Xin Yuan went to see the lanterns by himself, and Zhu Yingying's "girlfriend" also went to see the lanterns by himself. Their faces were full of loneliness, but they also had hope. In another place, the two protagonists of the third pair said Talking and laughing.The lens of Wang Jinfa will rotate in the eyes of several people. In the light of the millennium, in the passing of time, this story is over.

Wang Jinfa wants to say that everything seems to be getting better, and many things are not so scary.In the family atmosphere in China, in the past, gays and lesbians, without exception, married and had children with heterosexuals. Later, physical marriage, the intermediate zone between "straight marriage" and "non-marriage", came into being. "Closet" has become an option instead of a choice, although there are still many direct marriages and formal marriages.Wang Jinfa wants to use movies to give this group some courage.

…………

The filming will be done after the Lantern Festival.Wang Jinfa made an appointment with another film crew to rub each other's scenes - he has no money.

However, although there is still the last scene left, Wang Jinfa and the producer still held a finale banquet for Jiang Yuan and Shen Du.He said, "Lantern Lantern Festival" is a night show, and people have to shoot them first and then shoot, it is not suitable for a wrap-up banquet, Jiang Yuan Shendu naturally has no objection.

Wang Jinfa asked the hostess to order a few bouquets of flowers, as well as cakes with the words "Mr. Jiang Yuan's happy birthday", "Mr. Shen Du's happy birthday", "Ms. xxx's happy birthday" and so on.

Jiang Yuan received the bouquet, ate the cake, and asked Wang Jinfa, "Director Wang, which film festival will we participate in in the future?"

Wang Jinfa finished eating the cake and was sticking out his tongue to lick the cream. Hearing this, he looked up and said, "Berlin Film Festival, compete for teddy bears."

"Huh? What? Teddy bears?" He knew about the Berlin Film Festival, but he didn't know about teddy bears.

"Yes," Wang Jinfa explained to Jiang Yuan, "Teddy Award, the Teddy Bear Award is a separate award set up by the film festival for LGBT-themed films in each unit. It was the first in 1987, and there have been winners every year since then. It is awarded by an independent jury. None of the members of the jury are members of the festival, etc. Most of the time, the members of the jury are the organizers of the LGBT film festival. They watch all the films and award a feature film, a short film and A documentary. This is also the highest honor for gay-themed films. However, China does not report this award for some reasons, and Chinese audiences know relatively little about this teddy bear."

"Ah..." Jiang Yuan said, "So that's how it is."

"Well, hahahaha!" Wang Jinfa said, "If you are shortlisted, I will take the two of you on a tour of Berlin."

"Okay," Jiang Yuan smiled, "I'm looking forward to it."

Wang Jinfa asked again: "What about Jiang Yuan? What are your plans now?"

"I..." Jiang Yuan thought for a while, and told Wang Jinfa the truth, he trusted Wang Jinfa, "Maybe signing a new company. I feel... Zhongzhi Film and Television is not suitable. As for the future, it should be tempered Acting, improve yourself."

Wang Jinfa nodded, as if he didn't realize anything, and continued: "Jiang Si chose the director, you know? Director Jiang wrote a new book, the hero in the movie... I think it's a good match with you ——The actors must be very beautiful, especially the eyes, they must be very beautiful, and the actors must have certain acting skills, there are not many of them, you try it, the hope is not small."

"Director Jiang, of course I know." He is the largest director in China and a leading figure in the five generations of directors.

"Well," Wang Jinfa said, "Director Jiang bought a book by the American writer James. He was in New York for a talk. A friend in the film industry invited me to be an interpreter, because I know more about film terminology, and Director Jiang also saved airfare. I got the money, so I went there and learned about this book. A while ago, I participated in an event and asked Director Jiang about the progress of the project. He said that the actors will be selected after the festival next year."

After a pause, he said again: "You tell your agency to think of a way, try this. This opportunity is very exercising. After the hero's cerebral hemorrhage, only the eyes can move, and there is no way to move other places. Therefore, this The role requires the actor to express everything with his eyes. Acting skills are very, very much needed, and Director Jiang is an international director, so his guidance is precious. If you perform this role to the fullest, other roles are probably just a piece of cake."

Hmm... what kind of story is it?

Wang Jinfa replied: "It mainly talks about the complex relationship between seriously ill patients and their families. However, Director Jiang will add a lot of Chinese family relationships."

"Okay." Jiang Yuan kept it firmly in his heart, "Thank you Director Wang."

Wang Jinfa didn't care about his figure, so he turned around and forked the cake again, and said while forking, "You can exercise first, the stupid bird will fly first!"

"……I am not stupid."

"One meaning," Wang Jinfa said, "If you want to use your eyes, you must first understand your eyes." Wang Jinfa explained some of his thinking from the director's point of view, "For example, pay attention to other people's eyes. After paying attention, ask, what was the other person thinking just now?" What. Did you think of your own family? Or a lot of work? Or a disgusting person? In director Jiang’s movies, the protagonist often recalls alone, and these eyes are very important. In short, learn hard. By the way, I still have The APP with artificial intelligence can recognize facial expressions, you can try it.”

Jiang Yuan said, "Okay."

Wang Jinfa turned to Shen Du again and asked, "Where is Shen Du? What are you going to do next?"

Shen Du nodded: "I have a few important jobs in the next month, and then...a charity event."

"Oooo!"

"Jiang Yuan," Shen Du suddenly looked at Jiang Yuan, "The more "stars" the organizers of public welfare activities, the better. Are you...together?"

Jiang Yuan asked: "Am I a star?"

The corner of Shen Du's lips twitched slightly: "It can be counted."

"Okay, I'll go." Jiang Yuan is also very interested in public welfare.Shen Du's public welfare activities should also be very reliable.

…………

In the evening, the crew had dinner and drinking with Jiang Yuan, Shen Du and others. It was already eleven o'clock when Jiang Yuan returned to his room.

He took a shower.Because he didn't have to act as "Xin Yuan", he didn't even blow his hair, kicked off his shoes, and went directly to bed, relaxed and lost.

He wasn't as anxious to rest as before, but curled up under the quilt and played with his mobile phone.

In the end, just for fun, the photographer sent him the photos that were completed today on WeChat.

"Hmm..." Jiang Yuan looked at each of them.

With Wang Jinfa, with the producer, with...

Flipping and flipping, the hands stopped.

There is also a candid photo.

In the photo, he is holding a glass cup, drooping his eyes, drinking ice wine.Shen Du sat beside him, with his face turned sideways, his eyes turned, and he was looking at him quietly.There was also a glass of ice wine on the table in front of Shen Du, and Shen Du's slender fingertips were gently stroking the rim of the glass.Behind them is a dizzy chandelier and a large glass window. Outside are the bright stars and thousands of lights.

This is not today's photo.Jiang Yuan remembered that at that time, the crew was drinking on the first floor of the hotel, and there were actually Wang Jinfa and other people on the other side.

It seems that this photo was secretly taken by the photographer who thought the atmosphere between the two of them was good.

"..." Jiang Yuan thought of his "reluctance" to Shen Du before hanging on to Wia, and suddenly became more courageous, and sent it to Shen Du, saying, [I am practicing what Wang Dao said, "Pay attention to it." Other people's eyes." He said, after paying attention, ask the other person what he is thinking, and learn from it.Did you think of your own family, or did you think of something else?Director Wang also said that in Director Jiang's films, the protagonist often recalls alone. 】

[Zhang She sent a photo just now. 】

[It just so happens that this one meets Director Wang's requirements.What were you thinking at that time?can i know 】

Jiang Yuan knew that Shen Du certainly understood that this "learning" was just an excuse, he just wanted to ask what Shen Du was thinking at that time.

After posting, Jiang Yuan waited nervously.He picked up his phone to look at it for a while, and picked up the phone to look at it again after a while.

After about seven or eight minutes, Jiang Yuan's mobile phone popped up a prompt.

Jiang Yuan quickly clicked into the chat box, and saw that Shen Du really replied:

【At that time? 】

【"so cute."】

"..." Jiang Yuan stuffed the phone under the pillow, grabbed the edge of the quilt, first turned to the left, then to the right, rolling several times in a row.
