Li Tang was sitting in front of the camera. The wound on his forehead that Fatty had hit with an arm strength tool had scabbed over. There were still wounds on his lips that had stuck to the skin when the mouth-sealing tape was removed, and the color had begun to turn darker.
These are all details. For example, when Li Tang first confronted Xiaopang, the wound on his forehead was red and swollen, and the wound was still bleeding. As time went by, the wound gradually healed.
Details are the most basic thing for the success or failure of a movie. If you don't even pay attention to details, then the quality of the movie will be imaginable. Perhaps it was because he had seen too many gangster scenes in his previous life, so when Li Tang was able to make the decision on his own, he put special emphasis on details from the beginning.
"Brother Li, is it okay?"
the executive director asked, standing next to the camera.
Li Tang just recited all the lines in his mind, including the tone of voice and expression. After making sure that there was no problem, he took a deep breath and nodded towards the executive director.
"Okay, get ready...start!"
In the shot, Li Tang's eyes are not looking directly at the camera, but are looking diagonally downward, with his head tilted slightly, and his face is calm.
At this time, Fan Xiaopang stood behind the camera to help with the words: "Why are you doing this?"
"Why is this happening? Are you asking me why I killed your parents?"
A trace of ridicule flashed across Li Tang's face, and then he fell into deep thought. After a two-second pause, he said thoughtfully: "How can I explain it to you?"
Then he said in a positive tone: "But I definitely didn't do it to steal anything. The watch happened to be on the table, and I took it easily, but I didn't do it to steal anything."
As he spoke, he raised his eyebrows and said with a bit of pride: "I am not a petty thief. I have had ideals since I was a child. I am very brave and know how to be self-disciplined. Later, I have always been ashamed of stealing things. I feel that this I was resentful of the fact that it was detrimental to my character, so I gave them away casually. In addition to the watch and this silver picture frame..."
At this point, he breathed a long sigh of relief, as if the things were given away, and the stain of the thief on himself was also eliminated.
Then he pondered again: "How should I explain to you?"
Explain what?
Of course why Xiao Ke's parents were killed.
He pondered for a moment and said: "This is a power of hatred..."
He paused for a second, and his face slowly turned gloomy: "I hate you, I hate you so much! Your house is too big, and there is a yard. There are flowers planted in the yard, and a big iron gate is installed. Your father spends all day Wearing a watch, your mother puts on powder and wears pajamas.”
"That night, the iron gate of your house was smashed. When I passed by your yard, I walked in. The flowers in the yard were pulled out. That was what we did that afternoon. We beat them and made them Kneeling on the broken glass. I suddenly want to see what they look like now?"
At this point, he showed a trace of cruelty on his face, and then said with memories: "Your father seemed to recognize me. He saw that I was sweating profusely and asked me, 'Do you want to drink some water?' It was like what happened in the afternoon. This has never happened. I was so angry... Your mother was asleep. She slept so quietly, and she was still wearing that pajamas? I gave her one more knife without thinking. Before leaving, there were everyone One more stab."
His tone was very calm, as if he was telling an ordinary past event, which made people feel horrified.
Xiaopang looked at the calm-looking Teacher Li opposite him, and suddenly felt a sense of fear that made his skin crawl.
At this time, the executive director next to her tugged on her clothes, and she finally came to her senses and said in a low and slow tone: "How old were you then?"
"Thirteen years old, I'm in elementary school."
"When you met my sister, did you know who she was?"
Hearing this question, Li Tang showed a proud smile on his face, shook his head and said: "Of course I know, otherwise why would I marry her? Your sister always dressed neatly when she was a child, and she walked so arrogantly that everyone would I ignored her and she hurt me deeply. I thought at that time that I must take revenge on her! Now, she serves me every day and is pregnant with my child..."
After a proud smile, his expression became fanatical: "You know, this is a kind of power of hatred. This kind of power is innate and extremely tenacious! But I don't feel that I am a victim. Now everyone They all say this, as if it makes them objective and humane. When everyone who has done all the bad things is exposed, they say that they are the real victims. But even in that era, not everyone could Choose to kill others. Some people would rather choose to be beaten to death by others than have the ability to choose to beat others to death. Because they are very kind."
"But to me at that time, it was nothing at all. What does killing mean? I am ideal, you know? Maybe you think I am evil-minded, ugly, cruel, and uneducated, but I have a dream. I I am not a vulgar person, an unthinking person. I want to change the world, but I was just born in the wrong era! Do you understand? I was born in the wrong era!"
This line clearly bears the shadow of scar literature.
When Li Tang was writing a biography of the character, based on his original memory, he thought that He Wei should be a descendant of the people from Northern Jiangsu who grew up in Sanwan No. 1 Lane. At that time, the people of Northern Jiangsu in that area were synonymous with the lowest class of people. Many of them had been working as coolies or working on water transportation since before liberation.
Their lives are extremely difficult and they live in shantytowns. As the population grows, it is common for a family of six or seven to live in a dilapidated house of less than ten square meters.
That's why he hates people who live in new-style bungalows with gardens in the upper corner. Xiao Feng and Xiao Ke's family should be an intellectual family with capitalist background. Wearing a watch and wearing pajamas are all labels of a superior person.
Moreover, people in this kind of family generally love cleanliness and stay away from those children who live in the lower corner, do not care about hygiene and are dirty.
They may go to the same school, but they are distinct from each other.
Moreover, He Wei probably grew up in a single-parent family. His father drowned when he was very young because he was running a transportation company. At that time, it was common for people who made a living on the water to drown. His mother took him alone. At that time, it was difficult for a woman at the lowest level in northern Jiangsu to find a partner with an oil bottle. And precisely because of the oil bottle and the high probability of being illiterate, her life was very difficult. Difficulties often lead to the person being a punching bag. It is precisely these factors from his native family that have developed He Wei's cruel, perverse, and gloomy character.
Why did he suffer the Xiao Ke family? It was because of envy and jealousy. At the same time, he particularly longs to be like them, so he emphasizes that he is ideal, brave and self-disciplined.
According to the time and background explained in the play, He Wei should have been born in the first half of the 1960s. He happened to be in a special era when he was in school. In that era, he could not change his destiny by studying, so he repeatedly emphasized that he was born in the wrong era. .
The camera is still working on the rustling ground.
After Li Tang got excited in the camera, his tone weakened and his body trembled slightly: "But I am also scared, I am very scared, I have nightmares at night, and I feel that my behavior is shameful. For a while, I even felt that if all this It's good to be discovered like this, at least you don't have to worry anymore. Now..."
At this moment, he became relaxed and said: "All this pain is over. At least I don't have to be afraid anymore, I don't have to be afraid of you, I don't have to be afraid of your sister, I don't have to worry about what you care about, and I don't have to worry about whether you doubt me."
After feeling relaxed, he calmly said again: "Xiao Feng changed me, really. Our life was very peaceful, and she changed me. I remember before getting married, she took me to have my teeth extracted once..."
He fell into memories: "It was a very sultry afternoon. I still remember the hospital and the doctor. He was pulling out my teeth and smoking a cigarette. I lay there, unable to move at all, with my mouth open. , I watched helplessly as the cigarette ashes fell into my mouth. My mouth opened wide and my eyes rolled around. At that time, I was extremely frightened..."
He trembled his lips and said with a hint of sobs in his voice: "I saw your sister, she was standing there. When I saw her, it was like seeing a life-saving straw. From then on, I relied on her wholeheartedly, and I was changed by her... …”
His tone became excited again: "I began to feel that kindness is good! I began to feel that straight teeth are good! I am not repenting or atonement, I just feel that kindness is good! I fell in love with the one I hated before, you Do you understand?"
"Whenever it is late at night, I lie in bed. At that time, I really want to talk to my childhood self. My life with your sister is very peaceful, we are very happy, I have been changed, I have become vulgar. . And I fell in love with all of this, I missed everything that had become vulgar, and I relied on everything that had become vulgar..."
After the excitement, he felt deeply disappointed. His eyes looked diagonally downward, and his tone slowed down and said with sadness: "And now, all of this has been ruined by you, you have ruined all of it! You are satisfied." ? You do feel everything you imagined, are you satisfied?"
In the camera, his eyes are sad and his lips are trembling slightly...
It took a while before I heard Cheng Er shout: "Stop, it's over!"
At this time, Li Tang was like a deflated rubber ball. His body tightened and he collapsed on the chair, gasping for air.
Just kidding, this seven-minute monologue was completed in one go, which greatly consumed his energy and physical strength. At this time, he didn't even have the strength to stand up.
When he took the water from Zeng Jia and drank half of the bottle, he looked around and all the staff on site gathered around him before he knew it. Cheng Er came over and handed him a loudspeaker.
Only then did Li Tang react, but he didn't reach out to pick it up. He shook his head and said, "It's better you do it."
"Brother Li, come here!"
Cheng Er stubbornly handed the loudspeaker closer to him.
"You are the director, come on."
Li Tang still refused.
"Brother Li..."
Before Cheng Er could finish speaking, one hand snatched the loudspeaker from his hand. I saw Xiaopang jumping on a toolbox, looking around at everyone, picking up the loudspeaker and shouting: "I declare that "The Third Man" is finished!"
First update!
