Chapter 52 No. 32 Puxi Road

Lin Yuansheng lit a cigarette and took a deep breath.

The entire hotel suite was full of cigarette smell, and the ashtray on the table was so full that the cigarette butts fell out.

The time is three o'clock in the afternoon, the weather is very good today, the sun is very bright.But the curtains in the room were still drawn, and only one wall lamp was turned on.

Lin Yuansheng was sitting in a dark, smoky room, like a zombie. He hadn't been out of the room for an unknown amount of time. His face was pale and his body was bent.He saw Lu Xingwen coming in, held up a cigarette, and greeted him feebly.A projector was placed in front of him, and the auditions of several actors were played repeatedly on the opposite wall.

Lu Xingwen didn't speak, went to sit next to him, and watched the audition in its entirety.

Lu Xingwen had already read the script over and over a dozen times, and he could tell at a glance which character this was auditioning for.

He looked at Lin Yuansheng in surprise.

Lin Yuansheng understood what he meant, and answered directly: "Xiaohe is a small supporting role, but he is an important supporting role. He played a big role in your transformation during the revenge process."

Lu Xingwen nodded. He admitted that although Xiaohe didn't have many roles, he was indeed a character who had a great influence on his role.

However, it is so important that all the actors in the whole play have been decided, is it still too late to decide on the actor for this role?

The story of "No. 32 Puxi Road" begins when a 29-year-old adult man Li Qi moves into the old apartment at No. 32 Puxi Road.

Ten years ago, Puxi Road had no Qinglin Theater, no art cinema, no National Theater, and no exhibition hall. It was not an art sanctuary today, but a dilapidated one, full of old-fashioned apartment buildings and rows of cheap rental houses.

Li Qi came here for revenge.

He came from a remote mountainous area hundreds of kilometers away from Dongming City. In order to treat his father's illness, he came to see a doctor in a large hospital in Dongming City from his hometown.

The father's illness is very serious, and the treatment fee is very high.

In Dongming, they rented a basement, and the brother and sister took turns taking care of their father.During the day, the younger sister went out to work, and Li Qi stayed behind to take care of his father; at night, when the younger sister came back, Li Qi went out to work the night shift.

One day, my sister said that she would switch to the night shift.A fellow villager introduced her to a job, working in a nightclub, selling drinks, and getting a commission.The younger sister is beautiful, and the fellow villagers said that playing fists with customers is very good, and she can earn [-] to [-] a month, or even five or six thousand a month, which is much higher than serving dishes.

Li Qi disagreed, and his sister was going to die.

My sister said that she didn't want to live this kind of life anymore. What's the use of earning two or three thousand a month?The basement was damp and dirty, and she didn't want to live in it.If you don't fight hard, you can only live in poverty forever, she has had enough.

Li Qi had nothing to say.

None of them had a high degree of education, he had a junior high school education, and his sister had a high school education. They couldn't find any good jobs in Dongming City, so they could only work part-time.

The wages of the two, after deducting the high medical expenses of the father, can only rent the basement.

My younger sister has been in Dongming for more than a year. The poor life made her silent, inferior, and thin. The prosperity of this big city has nothing to do with her. She came here because she realized that she was living in an unimaginable place bottom layer.

She was determined to go, Li Qi could only follow her.

In the first month, my sister got [-] back; in the second month, my sister got [-]; in the third month, my sister didn't come back.

She died in an alley at the back of the nightclub, reports said, of a sudden drug overdose.

The nightclub was open as usual, but the surveillance at the back door was broken. No one investigated why sister Li Qi took drugs, and where did her drugs come from.Li Qi went to many places, but to no avail, he couldn't even get in the door.

He only has a junior high school education, and he doesn't know how to use the law to seek justice for his sister.

He was angry, sad, and hopeless, and his father, blaming himself, committed suicide in the basement.

His father said that he was the one who dragged his children down. If he was not sick, their family would not have come to Dongming, and they would have stayed in their hometown. Although they were poor, they were stable.

Li Qi collapsed.

However, the death of his sister and the death of his father did not bring anyone sympathy.

The security guards at the nightclub drove him out again and again, and the police told him that his sister had died suddenly from taking drugs.

Desperate Li Qi decided to pick up the knife by himself, find out who gave the drug to his sister, kill him, and avenge his sister.

He left for a while, changed his appearance, inquired many ways, and finally found out a name - "Fat Brother".Fat brother has been haunting nightclubs for a long time, selling things that shouldn't be sold. He knows a lot of people and knows a lot of gossip. Everyone who does dirty small business in this nightclub knows him.

Li Qi then moved into the vicinity of Fat Brother's house, at No. 32 Puxi Road.

By mistake, Li Qi met Fat Brother's 17-year-old son Xiaohe.After helping Xiaohe several times, he established a friendship with Xiaohe.

Later, with Xiaohe's help, he found out about the gangster Awei who had a close relationship with Fat Brother and was quite suspicious. It was Awei who gave the drugs to Li Qi's sister.

At the same time, Li Qi accidentally discovered that the next-door neighbor A Tian was actually an undercover agent sent by the police.A Tian got acquainted with Fat Brother and A Wei, and broke into these gangsters, trying to find out who was behind the nightclub and even the entire Dongming City.

Li Qi originally planned to kill Ah Wei with a single knife, but Ah Tian persuaded him not to, and only by finding out who was behind the scenes could he truly avenge his sister.

Li Qi has been rejected by the police too many times, and he doesn't trust the police.He didn't want to do justice for the sky, and he didn't want to uphold justice. He just wanted to pay a life for another life, and he only wanted to avenge blood.

Just when Li Qi almost went to extremes and became a criminal, it was Xiaohe who changed him.

He turned to cooperate with Ah Tian, ​​and according to the clues provided by Xiaohe, he pursued layer by layer, and finally uncovered the big drug dealer in Dongming City.

At first glance, this film is full of commercial elements such as action, criminal investigation, and suspense, but it is more than that.

Lu Xingwen knew that the director wanted to express more, such as human nature, the gap between the rich and the poor in society, the people at the bottom of the bustling city, etc. Lin Yuansheng is a director with ideas, and he does not just want to make a blockbuster commercial action film.

Lin Yuansheng told Lu Xingwen that he knew that he wanted to win an award, and that his favorite subject in China was the countryside or the old situation decades ago.Almost all the influential directors of the previous generation grew up in the old era. They have feelings for that era, and they can only shoot in that era no matter how they shoot.As for him, he grew up in Dongming City. If he was asked to take pictures of the countryside, he couldn't take pictures. He didn't have that kind of emotion, he didn't have that kind of experience.If he wants to shoot, he can only shoot cities.

The city is not always bright and beautiful, its backside is also dark, without sunlight, damp, and emits a disgusting breath.

He wanted to film how a simple, dull young man who grew up in a remote county and had never even been in a fight was forced to become a madman with a knife step by step in the city.

Going undercover, finding the drug dealer, and uncovering the boss behind the scenes are just one story line.And Li Qi's changes are the flesh and blood of the whole film.

"Xiaohe is a very important part of Li Qi's transformation." Lin Yuansheng lit another cigarette, "Li Qi has turned black, has picked up a knife, and has become a murderer. He lost his family, Lost all expectations in life, he has no money, no house, no happiness. He doesn't believe in the police, he doesn't believe in the society, he only believes in retaliation. Such a hopeless person, in the end, turned around because of Xiaohe. "

"A Tian, ​​is a policeman with a sense of justice. He is a mature man like Li Qi. He has strength and conviction. He has suffered a lot of injustice, but he still believes in the sacred power of his police badge. Such a person, still Li Qi cannot be pulled back from the dead end. In the end, it was the weak 17-year-old Xiaohe who rescued Li Qi."

Lin Yuansheng was so lost in his speech that he even forgot to smoke. The soot had already burned a long length and fell on the carpet.

"Xiaohe doesn't have as many roles as Ah Tian, ​​but Xiaohe is definitely the most important character to Li Qi. After all, when Li Qi appeared, his family members were already dead."

"What kind of Xiaohe can bring a murderer back from a dead end?"

Xiao He, Fat Brother's only son, is 17 years old and a senior in high school with average grades.

He is the only son in the family, but he has not been favored by his father.He and his mother lived under the terrifying shadow of Fat Brother's domestic violence all year round.

Ten years ago, the environment of Puxi Road was terrible, and it was just a gathering place for the poor.

Although Fat Brother is engaged in illegal business, he likes to gamble and drink, and can't keep money in his hands, so he still rents a house in the most run-down corner of the city.

He drank every day, and when he was drunk, he would hit Xiaohe and his mother; when he was unhappy, he would also hit Xiaohe and his mother;

Sometimes they also play small sums.

Xiaohe's mother always shuts Xiaohe into the room, or pushes him out of the house to let the child hide.

Xiaohe grew up listening to his mother's cries and his father's curses. He is timid, cowardly, and introverted, and has no friends at school.

He wanted to work hard to get into college and escape from this house, but he couldn't let go of his mother.He plans to take his mother to college and run away secretly. This is the most daring plan he has ever made.

But one day, he came back late because he participated in the evening self-study of the third year of high school.The drunk fat guy pressed his head and beat him in the corridor, saying that there is a P for studying, and after finishing college, his monthly salary is still thousands of dollars; He couldn't get into any decent university, and it would be a waste of his father's money to study; his father was exhausted all day, working outside, and he asked him to help deliver the goods at night, and he came back so late, delaying the delivery.

The fat brother always packs the drugs in Xiaohe's schoolbag and asks Xiaohe to deliver the goods.

Whether his son will be arrested or not, he doesn't care at all.

That time, Xiaohe was almost beaten to death.

Blood flowed down his forehead into his eyes, and was washed out by tears.

It was Li Qi, who came out from the next door and kicked Fat Brother away, saying that he was so noisy that he fell asleep.

and--

"What kind of man is he who beats women and children?"

"Xiaohe's relationship with Li Qi should be a kind of admiration, similar to a son worshiping his father, a younger brother worshiping his elder brother, and a wife worshiping her husband." Lu Xingwen said.

Lin Yuansheng clapped his hands: "Wife adores her husband! You speak very well! I do feel a little bit like this. I can't explain it. It depends on your understanding. Look at these auditioned actors, what do you think?"

Lu Xingwen has already watched all the auditions of the three actors. He pondered for a while and said, "I think the second one is okay, and its age and temperament are very close to Xiaohe."

Lin Yuansheng shook his head: "Hearing what you said, I know it's not enough. I want one, and when I see it, people will know that he is from Xiaohe!"

Lu Xingwen said: "I watched the audition clips and it was okay. I can't say that he can't play Xiaohe well, right? And this actor is not bad. I have seen his previous works. He played Xiaohe, I think there must be a passing line, but I don't know the good line in your heart."

Lin Yuansheng threw the cigarette that had burned down to one butt into the ashtray, and said excitedly: "Xiaohe is the only weak person in this film, do you understand? Of course, his mother doesn't count. He is mentally and physically weak. He has a deep fear of his father, which is a kind of psychological disease-I can't talk about it in detail now. You know, I and the screenwriter are two people who write Xiaohe's biography, I wrote [-] words! More than the character Li Qi! We need a teenager, an actor with a youthful temperament. He is very ordinary, very small, and there are signs of suffering on his body. He may be a little neurotic and a little sensitive... ...He has to shine, do you know what I mean? Although he is ordinary, he will shine, so, in the end, he can pull Li Qi back..."

Lu Xingwen pondered, recalling Xiaohe in the script.

"His grades are not good, but his appearance will make the audience feel that 'with a good environment, his grades will definitely get better'. He is very cowardly, but his cowardice is sympathetic and not annoying."

Lu Xingwen asked: "Do you mean that Xiaohe should feel like an angel in trouble?"

Lin Yuansheng broke out into a burst of earth-shattering laughter, calmed down and said: "Yes, but only a little bit, do you understand, a little bit is enough, not too much."

"The interaction between Xiaohe and Li Qi..." Lu Xingwen thought for a while and asked, "Is it a pure interaction? Or is there something unclear mixed in?"

"What do you think?" Lin Yuansheng asked back.

"Xiaohe's worship of Li Qi is a little too much." Lu Xingwen replied, he leaned on the sofa, "and Li Qi gradually developed a sense of responsibility for Xiaohe that has nothing to do with him."

"In layman's terms, two people are each other's salvation." Lin Yuansheng concluded.

Lu Xingwen had a bold idea: "Besides these few, do you have other candidates?"

Lin Yuansheng shook his head in pain: "No. If you can't be sure from these three, then you can only go to the school to choose new people, but the start-up will start in March, and the time is very tight. But if there is no other way, this is the only way to do it .I contacted my old classmate and asked him to recommend a few more outstanding students—”

"I have a candidate." Lu Xingwen said.

"Who?!" Lin Yuansheng stood up excitedly.

Lu Xingwen looked at Lin Yuansheng and said a name: "Fei Ke, my husband."

Lin Yuansheng was stunned, and immediately refused after reacting: "No!"
