Shengsheng

To invest money and invite people to come to this small county to shoot a movie, this is obviously an idea that only ordinary people can think of.

But in order to fulfill the development contract with Jiang Xinwen on the joint development of technology and economy, and to make this stubborn old man completely believe in his sincerity.

In the development case that a certain Liang Da boss asked Mao Chengdong to send to the Shengsi County Party Committee as soon as he arrived in the local area, the first line of the development project was precisely this movie that had not really revealed the true face of Lushan Mountain at this moment.

After all, Shengsi County is currently not a large town in the whole country in terms of population or geographical location.

From a practical point of view, in order for such an unremarkable small place to have a chance to win the attention of the outside world, the first thing to do is to first get to know the local style, or this strange place name.

Once the word Shengsi is launched, in this case, in the next step, it is possible to say that the local area is related to tourism, science and technology, and natural resources. It will be promoted to more places together, resulting in greater popularity, and will follow-up More chain reactions have given birth to a complete economic chain of regional development.

But this kind of thing is easy to say, and everyone understands it in their hearts.

It is very difficult to implement it in detail, otherwise the county government propaganda department would not have been under so much pressure from above every year, but it would not be effective if it failed to come up with countermeasures.

——And investing a sum of money specifically for this purpose, and making a movie based on the local area in Zhoushan, is precisely the best way to solve this problem at the moment.

Firstly, this promotes the local humanities, which is in line with the basic regulations that emphasize basic humanities under the current national background. Second, once this film is released in the future, whether it is participating in foreign awards or domestic releases, it will bring follow-up to Shengsi. benefit.

In addition, Longjiang Feiteng invested as much as possible, directed by the new generation of directors in China, and a group of actors who are not particularly well-known, but all of them are serious graduates, joined in to shoot this documentary film together.

The Capital Film Studio participated in the whole process of Fuhuadao, and the village can also help out extra actors. All the stories unfolded with pseudo-documentary as clues were placed in a small fishing village in Zhoushan in the last century. This is what was envisioned in the development project. It's all over.

"I'm really convinced... If I hadn't just heard it with my own ears and seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe that this kind of thing is actually true. Such a big businessman came here to invite me in person. I can't refuse the big face... Hey, but Liang Feilong is really interesting. If you just came here, I should introduce you well. This is a big man who you are lucky to know and will definitely not lose... "

This morning, after Liang Shengchen returned to the factory after training, Jiang Xinwen personally told him about it.

Before this, Liang Sheng had never heard the old man say a word of admiration to others, but because of this incident this morning, he just praised Liang Feilong in his ear for half an hour How good it is, and how glorious it is in front of the county leaders today.

And I don't know how to congratulate this dizzy Dr. Jiang who was tricked by the legendary "Liang Feilong" to help Hangzhou Port. Compared with the excitement of other people in the movie, It was a matter of real scientific research and technology, and Liang Sheng, who obviously participated in it, couldn't help but ask a question.

"If you want to go to Hangzhou Port next, do they have specific requirements for the age and education of the personnel as a professional national institution?"

"Oh, yes, yes, when it comes to this, I almost forgot. There is a clear requirement... To enter the Hangzhou Port Military Center, you must be a non-school graduate. I am also a little upset about this. Logically speaking, You have completed half of our technical calculations in the cabin this month, without you, it would be equivalent to losing more than half of our helpers, but this is the local regulation, so it is difficult for me to speak."

"..."

"So in the end I negotiated with the professional team over there. The chief technician there looked at the basic calculations you made earlier, and said that you can go ahead and do a month's calculations. If your bulk calculations meet the standard, Then you will be allowed to officially join the work of the 'Dragon Palace Project', and you will officially become the youngest technician specially invited by the country in the development of the 'Dragon Palace'."

"..."

"In the next period of time, I will help you hide your internship progress and your whereabouts from Tsinghua University, but the premise is that you have to show your true skills and prove your own strength to others in an upright manner. , how is it, boy?"

Jiang Xinwen's meticulous consideration of everything not only helped Liang Sheng, whose ability he was sure of all the way, to think about the next way out, but also forcibly won him a step into Hangzhou Port that ordinary people would never dream of. Military base opportunities.

Such an opportunity, not to mention the young Liang Sheng, would have passed out happily if it were placed on anyone else.

But at the moment, the expression on the face of our always calm and calm student Liang also changed for a while.

After he couldn't hide his emotional changes, he immediately thanked this old senior who had affirmed himself time and again academically. It was related to the next trip to Hangzhou and Hong Kong. It was hard for him to slack off psychologically. This matter was completely on his mind, and he began to prepare for the place where he once again fell into dreams and longings.

When everyone in Hangzhou Port waited for half a month, Jiang Xinwen took Liang Sheng and went to Xiaoshan with two other elderly technicians.

Before leaving, boss Liang Feilong, who had to stay in Zhoushan for a few days because of other important matters, invited everyone from Shengsi Shipyard, including the county government, to have a meal together.

The meal was at the house of the little ocean lady brother who had drowned earlier.

During the process, a group of people who were lucky enough to meet here gave a lively and authentic speech, and it was regarded as Jiang Xinwen's official farewell. Before leaving, the legendary Liang Feilong toasted everyone one by one.

When it was Liang Sheng's turn, he looked at the young man in front of him in an ordinary way, and then the man who specially poured a glass of white wine raised his glass and said this to him with a smile.

"In front of the country, do not disgrace your mission. Be careful on the road and take care of yourself."

2012. 9, 13

Jiang Xinwen and Liang Sheng officially passed the political review, entered the interior of the military base, and started the calculation of the "Dragon Palace".

2012. 9, 21

It was the first time for Liang Sheng to participate in the direct calculation of the pressure at the bottom of the cabin. At the same time, the calculation formula of "Twin Prime Number Research" on his computer that he had put aside in school was also successfully applied to this time. Experiments, and let him inadvertently discover a decimal point change law that caused the error during the last technical error.

This is a gratifying achievement and progress. Jiang Xinwen, including all technicians in Hangzhou Port at that time, fell into ecstasy for a while, and it was even more difficult to believe that this seemed ordinary. In fact, the key success that surpassed the core part of technology was finally born on such a young man. .

Then in October 2012, Liang Sheng, who stayed in Zhoushan all the time and was not in a hurry to leave because of business affairs, also ushered in another happy event.

Because the production team that had been in preparation since the filming plan was made before finally led a large group of people to this place belatedly.

And this film was filmed locally for five months at the time, and it will also shine internationally in the follow-up. At this time, the film that has not been known to everyone is called "The Foolish Old Man Moves the Sea".

……

The script of "The Foolish Old Man Moves the Sea" was drawn from Zhoushan, and it was completed by a senior screenwriter of the Capital Studio for many years.

The film tells a true story. The story revolves around the Zhaoqing family and spans decades of time and years in Zhoushan. It is indeed a film with great cultural depth and connotation.

Speaking of the 80s of last century, it was the era of national economic development. People from all over the country were laid off one after another, and urban and rural areas were struggling to survive.

At that time, due to the mining of crystal mines in Zhoushan, a large number of migrant workers were required to flow into relatively affluent places in terms of life. It was common for girls from other places to fall in love with local boys, and local girls to look at their looks, and recruit a groom who came to marry them. thing.

This is the story that was born in the Zhoushan mine because of the union of men and women in different places.

The protagonist's original name is Zhaoqing, and he runs a mining business in the local area. He lives a good life. Although it is ordinary, he can always cope with food and clothing. He married a wife and gave birth to a pair of children. Compared with others, his life is very good.

The people in such a story are originally happy, but God is unwilling to grant the hard-won good days of ordinary people.

One day, Zhaoqing drove a truck past the stone factory. His 16-year-old son, who had been working in the mine, usually went home with him. Father's will fall.

Zhaoqing drove home, thinking that his children and wife were at home, so he should go home early for dinner.

But who knows, on the road, he saw from a distance that the road in front of him seemed to be smashed and wounded, and he heard someone say that his skull had been smashed open, and he might die if he didn't have a car to take him to the hospital.

Because he was in a hurry to go home and was afraid of causing trouble, Zhao Qing, who was clearly driving by on the road, chose not to save him. Go to the rescue logically.

But he didn't expect that his own son was just a few steps away.

The filial boy originally left to help his mother go back to collect the clothes, but when he was halfway there, the mining machine collapsed, and he was paralyzed on the ground with his head smashed open.

When the workers in the nearby factory surrounded him, he cried out in pain. He only said that his father would drive over later and told everyone to yell. His father stopped as soon as he heard him. His father didn't come.

And this passing by, this poor child who never expected his father to leave just like that, just lay on the road, drained of blood.

This is a living tragedy.

When Zhao Qing, the protagonist in the story, found out what happened, half the sky collapsed.

When he ran to the hospital, the face of his biological child was being covered with a white cloth. The man stepped forward and pulled it like crazy, but after covering his face and crying in pain, he could only kneel down and kowtow to the child to apologize.

And because of this, his wife, the woman who came from other places and married him, also ran away from home with her young daughter.

After that day, the neighbors said that Zhaoqing was crazy because his son was killed by him and his home was gone.

People in the town also said that Zhaoqing was probably out of his mind, and he couldn't see anyone all day long. He heard that one day he spent an hour at the entrance of the county with a bag.

And since that day, this man has really closed his own mine and started to scavenge waste by the sea for a living. While looking for his wife and daughter who are said to have gone to the other side of the sea, he traveled around the country.

He did a lot of good things on the way, because he always said that he was going to fill up the sea that killed his son, so the locals called him Yugong.

Coupled with the interspersed performances of real-life actors and interviews with the documentary director, the effect of tears is caused, and the whole movie revolves around the story of Yu Gong Zhaoqing who spent 20 years on this road to find his relatives.

When Liang Sheng was interested in buying the script, he thought the story was very special.

Although every protagonist in it is very common, whether it is in terms of personality, appearance, or life experience, it looks like an ordinary person that can be seen in daily life, but it is precisely this kind of story that can be shown through filming techniques. It shows the unusualness of the secular world reflected in it.

In view of this, the young man who had been in contact with Mr. Liang on the phone at the earliest, and did not meet him until he came to Shengsi County to start the first official filming, also proudly introduced his mental journey to him.

"Boss Liang, you may think that those of us who are engaged in art and film making are probably filming things that are moaning for nothing, but to be honest, I like this story from the bottom of my heart, because it is a story that seeks The story of people is also a story of finding a home.”

"..."

"Only those who have lost their loved ones can understand this feeling. The people are gone, the home is gone, and the roots are lost. This is a human tragedy in which tall buildings collapse in a moment and can destroy the strongest will in the heart of the heart."

"..."

"This kind of tragedy in the world seems to be so common that it even has a little thin content as a script, but just because it is so common, it seems to be happening every moment in this world, and its power It will bring out the deepest pain in people's hearts."

"..."

"This is film art, and this is drama creation. The tragedy performed by the actors in the camera is actually our own life. a living man."

The young director who came from afar sat under the low wall of the county town, clutching pages of scripts written by himself and looking at the distant sky, saying so.

Liang didn't interrupt during the student's life, but from a businessman's point of view, he also felt that the director, whose eloquence and depth were surprisingly good, was extremely talented.

He can even see a little bit of his own life trajectory from this script, about finding relatives, about finding people, about the existence that he hasn't seen in his heart for a long time but still misses, all of this is very clear and profound.

"That's right, people are gone, roots are gone, and home is forever."

So I couldn't hold back, and Liang Sheng finally said this with a smile.

When filming the third-to-last scene, the young actress who played the grown-up daughter of the old man Zhaoqing lost control of her emotions several times and squatted on the ground crying.

In the script, at this time she has not seen her father for almost 20 years.

She was married long ago and gave birth to a child. She is an ordinary little woman whose life is neither bitter nor happy. The secular life of necessities has been integrated into her daily life. She is no longer that innocent little girl, and it is impossible to say Leaving the family behind and going back with his father.

——So this search for relatives is a fruitless search for relatives after all.

This is exactly what the director said at the beginning, no result is the most common thing in each of us's life, but it is also the most tragic thing, because people can only compromise before fate, compromise with fate, this is A tragedy that runs through everyone's life.

And when the only telephoto camera on the set is aimed at the actress's simple, rough, shocking and cloudy eyes, the reunion of the close father and daughter across the mountains and rivers is shot from all angles in this roll of film about film.

For some reason, the children of a few local actresses who came to play guest roles outside the studio also cried. They seemed to have witnessed the sadness and pain of the "mother" in their play and blended into it together. I couldn't help but burst into tears.

In the end, the scene that actually happened was photographed together in the feature film.

The last scene of the movie was shot at the sunset on the shore of a reef familiar to Zhoushan locals.

It was a long shot that was too beautiful even if the other redundant scenes and characters were excluded.

In this still, long shot with a total duration of 20 minute and [-] seconds.

Yugong Zhaoqing, who has spanned 20 years of life, has found his wife and daughter. Although his wife has passed away long ago and his daughter has already had her own life, he finally crossed the sea that was once unshakable in the eyes of others.

In the last frame of the film, the setting sun shines on the face of the old man.

He raised his hands above his head.

The junction of the sea was lifted by his powerful palm when he was young, and he seemed to be the tallest giant between the sky and the earth, melting the tenderness of all living beings at that moment.

He is a boastful father in the world, because he is more persistent than most mortals in the secular world, and he never obeys orders.

Like the ending in a myth, it is powerful, tragic, and full of romantic poetry.

At this time, the song "Hurry" that runs through the whole film and the inner monologue of Zhaoqing who is already old rang in everyone's ears again.

【"I want to cross this mountain and move this sea away."】

【"I had a dream tonight. In my dream, I always felt that my doll was waiting for me over there, waiting for my father to hold his hand."】

【"This is my lifelong regret."】

[Chinese people believe in secular life, which is the most tenacious force in the bones of this nation. 】

[As the old Mr. Hu Defu, a well-known folk singer in Baodao, sang in the song "Hurrying", "At first I saw the flowers in spring, but in a blink of an eye it was winter, hurry, hurry, and winter came again in a year, and the time passed away without a trace. "]

The whole movie ends here.

For this movie, Liang Sheng only invested 140 million yuan at a very small cost, allowing this talented young director to shoot all over the surrounding area of ​​Zhoushan.

Except for Zhaoqing's family of three, the professional actors are all local fellows found in various surrounding areas of Shengsi County.

But the real scenes are all based on every inch of land in Zhoushan. During the period, the local dialect, customs and habits were also perfectly integrated into it. The process took nearly three to four months.

Because there were still some additional scenes to be filmed, the crew did not leave after the last few scenes, but at this moment, another person who had left Shengsi for several months—that is, our boss Liang had faintly disappeared. The time has finally come for the person who started to worry about that legendary project to end.
