Chapter 552: Help your wife find something to do and make a movie.
Chapter 552: Help your wife find something to do. Let’s go make a movie.
Wang Dongsheng doesn't have to worry about Yu Dongqing. "The Wandering Earth 2" directed by Du Xuefeng is also under intense preparation. For this reason, Yu Dongqing made a special trip to Shanghai, not to discuss with Du Xuefeng how to make the film, but mainly about the special effects.
With Wei Wenming, they detailed their ideas for the special effects part of "The Wandering Earth 2", especially the concept of the space elevator.
Since the original special effects part of "The Wandering Earth 2" in that time and space is quite good, we can directly learn from it so that Wei Wenming and others can avoid detours.
By the time all this work was over, it was already early May, and Yu Dongqing was completely free and began his leisurely days again.
Drinking tea, fishing, occasionally sitting in Liu Yimin's tavern, having a drink, even carrying my own SLR, riding a shared bicycle aimlessly in the alleys of Yanjing, snapping some photos, and living my life. Very comfortable.
It's early summer and the weather is relatively hot, especially at noon when the sun is shining brightly.
At times like this, Yu Dongqing usually doesn't go out. He sits in a chair under the wisteria trellis in the yard, soaks in a pot of Longjing, and hums a tune.
Her daughter lives in school, her son goes to kindergarten, her daughter-in-law invites her best friend to go shopping, and her nanny Xiaxia drives to the supermarket for shopping. Now only Yu Dongqing is left in the yard.
There was also a fat cat and a dog that looked very peaceful.
At this moment, the door of the small courtyard creaked open, and Yu Dongqing opened his eyes and it turned out that Mingmei was back.
"Why, are you back from shopping so early?"
"Didn't make it."
Seeing that his wife was a little unhappy, Yu Dongqing asked with concern: "What? Is Han Qingqing not with you?"
Meiliang sat next to Yu Dongqing and replied angrily:
"I just made an appointment with Qingqing, but I got a call saying that her crew had to rush to work and she had to give up her vacation and rush to the Huairou Film and Television Base immediately. She couldn't accompany me around."
"Oh, don't you still have high school classmates? Lin Juan and Yu Tingting, let's look for them. Don't they like shopping very much?"
Unexpectedly, Mingliang glanced at him: "Today is Tuesday, everyone is at work, you have such a leisurely day!"
oh.
If I'm not at work, I've long forgotten what day of the week it is.
"Honey, why don't you go shopping with me, okay?" Meili grabbed Yu Dongqing's arm and started to act coquettishly.
shop?
Just kill me.
Yu Dongqing was not afraid of anything except going shopping with his wife.
Last time I went to Xidan Joy City with Meimei. I was as tired as a dog at the end of the day, but my wife was very lively and her feet didn't hurt at all while wearing high heels.
Now he heard Mingliang say that he was going shopping, which made him tremble with fright.
"Why don't we go shopping with you when Tongtong comes back on the weekend? Tongtong also likes shopping." Yu Dongqing suggested.
"No, I want to go shopping now. I'm so bored all day." Meiliang muttered.
Looks like I need to find something for my wife to do.
Yu Dongqing was so anxious that she quickly said: "Meiliang, didn't you want to make a movie some time ago? Why don't you go to the movies!"
"I also want to film it, but I don't have a script. Didn't you say you would write it for me? You haven't started writing it yet."
this
"How about you make "Kung Fu Panda"? Make it into a cartoon. Tongtong liked to hear this story the most when she was a child." Yu Dongqing said with an idea.
"Cartoons? Do you need a lot of special effects? The shooting cycle is too long, that's not good." Meili shook her head: "I'm not good at cartoons either. I think it's better to make a feature film, preferably with a touch of literature and art. , poetic feeling.”
Yu Dongqing carefully recalled the high-scoring literary and artistic works in that time and space. Of course, there were many, but some of them I guess Mingliang didn't like, such as the classics "The Killer Isn't Too Cold" and "A Westward Journey", and some of them I only watched once. I don’t remember the plot either.
For a moment, Yu Dongqing had no idea.
"Let's go, husband, you can think about it slowly later, and now go shopping with me!" Meiliang took Yu Dongqing's arm again.
People's thinking is indeed much sharper in times of crisis. When Yu Dongqing thought of the terrible situation, his head began to spin rapidly again.
"Yes! I thought of a very good story, which is both literary and poetic." Yu Dongqing said suddenly.
"what story?"
"Don't worry, listen to me and tell you slowly." Yu Dongqing took a sip of tea to moisten her throat and spoke slowly.
"In the mysterious and humid subtropical countryside of southeastern Guizhou, in a foggy clinic in Kaili County, two doctors were preoccupied and lived like ghosts."
"One of them, Chen Sheng, set out on a train to look for the child his brother had abandoned for his mother's last wish; while another lonely old woman asked him to bring a photo, a shirt, and a box of tapes to her old lover who was seriously ill. "
"On the way to Zhenyuan County, Chen Sheng came to a place called Dangmai, where time is not linear and people's lives complement and dissolve each other. He seemed to have experienced the past, present and future, and rethought his life."
Yu Dongqing eloquently tells a story that is both true and imaginary.
It was in that time and space that the feature film "Roadside Picnic" was directed by Bi Gan and co-starred by Chen Yongzhong, Yu Shixue, Guo Yue, etc.
This is a low-cost, high-reputation film, and the director made it very interesting. It has won the Baodao Film Golden Horse Award for Best New Director, the International Film Critics FIPRESCI Award, and the Asian Film Observer Recommendation Award.
The Golden Horse Awards jury commented this way:
"A highly creative and impressive visual presentation and poetic expression that resonates with the disordered life and times. It has unintended meanings and is full of philosophy. Some movies will be forgotten after watching them, but after watching "Roadside" After "Picnic", I will probably keep thinking about this work for the next two days. Good movies are thought-provoking."
However, because it is a new magical realism work, the entire narrative seems a bit obscure, and I listened to it once and did not understand it.
"How about I write it down and you read it slowly?" Yu Dongqing took the opportunity to say.
"Okay." Mingliang agreed.
"I'm going to write now." Yu Dongqing hurriedly walked to the study.
Although writing a script is not as comfortable as drinking tea, it is better than going shopping, right?
But as he sat at the computer, opened the document, and started writing, he suddenly felt regretful.
The film is not complicated.
However, the multi-line narrative technique and the timeline with a dream-like concept of parallel time and space make the whole plot a bit confusing and brain-burning.
Yu Dongqing read it many times before understanding the meaning of many details.
The plot is simple but that doesn't mean it's easy to film.
I don’t know if Mingliang really likes it?
No matter, just write it first to avoid being dragged into shopping again.
1Kaili Clinic Night
In the darkness, Chen Sheng coughed several times. In the clinic, the lights kept flashing.
Old doctor Guanglian: I remember the last time you had an infusion was when you were married to Zhang Xi. You hadn’t been sick for so long, so why did you start coughing?
Chen Sheng: Only dead people do not get sick
Guanglian: How can dead people get sick? Those who are sick are all living people. Finally, I called, three times a day.
Chen Sheng: The power was cut off three times today?
Guanglian: medicine, take three times a day
By the way, there are also a few nice poems in it that add to the literary and artistic flavor of the movie. One of them, Yu Dongqing, likes very much:
Many nights overlap
quietly forming darkness
Rose absorbs light
The earth suppresses the fragrance
to find you
I move into the bird's eyes
Often staring at the passing wind
