Song Hongdou smiled a little awkwardly.
But Lu Song didn't care at all, but said: "Don't worry, a script like "The Kingdom of Women" doesn't require you to have too high a vision, as long as we can film the story satisfactorily."
Song Hongdou nodded repeatedly when he heard this, and his thoughts were suddenly stirred.
As a singing diva, although she has not filmed any serious movies or TV series, she still has a high status in the world. Occasionally she will appear in small roles in the movies and TV series of some friends or producers.
Of course, this kind of role is basically the kind that only has two or three scenes.
There is no need for her to show any acting skills, she basically plays her true character.
But if you really star in a movie and you are the protagonist, there will definitely be a lot of requirements.
So when she heard Lu Song say this, she felt both excited and anxious.
Then I thought that this book was written by Song Ci. If I could really collaborate with Song Ci on this movie...
Moreover, the story of the King of the Daughter Kingdom and Tang Monk has become a household name in the minds of many young people on the Internet after being spread over this period of time.
In addition, the song "Lovesickness" is also very popular. If the two aspects are combined...
Lu Song's words made Song Hongdou's mind suddenly flicker. Thousands of distracting thoughts filled her heart, and she seemed to be a little uneasy for a moment.
It was 2:30 in the afternoon, and the guest artists were all in place.
The entire theater can accommodate 200 people.
The first five rows were filled with artist friends.
The next few rows are invited film critics from all walks of life and some fans in the film and television industry.
There are still 50 places left, belonging to the official Weibo of "Falling Leaves Returning to Their Roots", and lucky viewers randomly selected online.
The requirements for everyone at the premiere are also very simple, no photography is allowed.
You can also discuss the plot of the movie after watching it, but you must not spoil it online.
Song Ci and others came in and sat in the first row together.
On the right hand side of Song Ci is Cai Cunyi, and beyond that is Liu Zhenfeng.
On the left is Director Lu Song, then Director Sun Dachuan, then Wei Weijiang, then Song Hongdou and others.
At this time, the lights in the cinema dimmed and "Falling Leaves Return to Their Roots" officially began to play.
Everyone fell silent and stared at the huge screen with their eyes open.
Everyone has strong expectations in their eyes.
The first is the expectation for Song poetry itself.
The second is the expectations for Cai Cunyi, who filmed "Rejuvenation".
If we say that before "Return to Youth", Cai Cunyi was synonymous with garbage directors in the entertainment industry, because of the "Entertainment is a Circle", he became the last one.
Well, after "Rejuvenation", insiders have given Cai Cunyi an excellent score of more than 70 points.
If he can still continue his high quality in the film "Falling Leaves Return to Roots" after "Rejuvenation".
Then Cai Cunyi's status as a director in the industry will continue to rise.
It is absolutely different.
Therefore, many people at the scene, especially the film critics sitting in the middle, seemed to have complicated moods at this moment.
Some hope that Cai Cunyi can make good films.
Some people also hope that Cai Cunyi can overturn. In that case, when he goes back, he can write a long and spicy article and severely criticize this kid.
The movie started playing.
An old station appeared on the screen.
There were a few customers sitting here and there in the restaurant at the station.
The image looks earthy and simple.
Old Liu, played by Liu Zhenfeng, is sitting at the table.
The camera gives a close-up of his old face, which takes up almost half of the entire scene.
You can clearly see the wrinkles on his face, and you can even count the number of beards on his face.
His hair was messy, black with some gray.
He closed his eyes slightly, looking a little melancholy.
He seemed to be thinking about his future.
Opposite him was a man named Lao Li. He was lying on the table and seemed to be drunk and unconscious.
Lao Liu pushed him a few times, but the other party didn't respond at all.
So Lao Liu picked up the two people's wine glasses and clinked them in the air.
The audience can clearly hear the crisp sound of glasses clashing.
Old Liu's eyes fell between the two cups.
His old hands seemed to be trembling slightly, and he said to Lao Li as if he was talking to himself: "Brother, let's drink this glass of wine! If you don't drink it, you won't be allowed in the car."
After saying this, Lao Liu picked up the wine glass in his hand, and then forced a full glass of wine into Lao Li's mouth.
At the same time, he gently wiped Lao Li's mouth naturally.
After doing this, Lao Liu leaned gently on the back of the chair and let out a long sigh.
His eyelids were slightly lowered, and his gaze looked very deep, making it difficult to see what he was thinking deep inside.
"Get on the road."
The BGM started ringing.
It's a cheerful cello melody.
A bus shuttled on the road.
This opening seems uneventful.
But the camera and language are also the same, and we can see Cai Cunyi's basic skills.
Everyone at the scene also looked at it and nodded slightly.
In fact, this opening is neither salty nor bland.
But fortunately, it explains one thing in a short and quick way, that is, the protagonist is going to take his drunk friend with him on the road.
It was at this time that the subtitles began to appear.
First is the name of the movie, then the producer.
The names of the director and the leading actors appeared one by one, and then there was a list of friendly performances.
Seeing the long list of familiar actors' names in the friendly performance, everyone at the scene couldn't help but exclaimed.
Names like Song Ci, Gu Jinghong, and Tang poetry are all in it.
"Here I go, it's a bit hidden. Is this lineup of friendly guest appearances so strong?"
"66666! There were not so many actors exposed in the previous trailers!"
"I roughly understand that this "The Return of Fallen Leaves" is supposed to be a road movie. The main plot must be what the protagonist sees and hears along the way, so he will meet a lot of people, and these people are the guest actors! Haha , I was looking forward to it all of a sudden, it’s such a great design!”
"Yes, the scenery in the movie is pretty good!"
The bus quickly drove out of the city.
When we reached a mountain road halfway, the car stopped.
Because the drive took a long time, the driver gave the passengers a short rest.
It is mainly for passengers who want convenience to get off.
It can be seen that the timeline of the story in the movie should be one or twenty years in advance.
Because the car is not parked in the relevant service area.
People who got off the bus to go to the toilet found a small bush of grass on the side of the road and got in.
Lao Li, who was extremely drunk, did not get out of the car. He leaned against the window, wearing a hat and sunglasses over his eyes.
But in everyone's eyes, he seemed to be staring directly at the women going to the toilet.
Many women pointed at Old Li.
He looked very angry at this old guy's peeking behavior.
Seeing this, Sun Dachuan turned his head and asked Song Ci in a low voice: "Why do I feel that Old Liu's personality is a bit strange? Isn't this a dead person?"
Hearing Sun Dachuan's guess, Lu Song also showed an expression of sudden realization, and then said to Song Ci in surprise: "There's something!"
Song Ci nodded slightly.
I also had a lot of admiration for the two directors.
As expected of a professional director with many years of experience in the industry, it was immediately obvious that there was something wrong with the character of Lao Li.
However, it could be seen that most of the audience at the scene did not realize that Lao Li was already a corpse at this moment.
The women seemed very angry and angrily wanted to drive Lao Li out of the car.
"Who? He peeked at you going to the toilet?"
"That's it! Scumbag!"
"Impossible! What could he see? Look at how drunk he is, he looks like a dead pig!"
"Fart! I saw it all! I just saw him smiling lewdly at me!"
"..."
Old Liu apologized to everyone on behalf of Old Li, and the matter was over.
The car continued to drive forward.
Surrounded by a dense forest, the camera follows the car through the dense light spots, making it look very peaceful.
Soon, new trouble came.
Everyone met a group of robbers.
The person who plays the role of the robber leader is a famous Chinese sketch actor.
So as soon as he appeared on the stage and before he even started speaking his lines, the audience burst out with some sporadic laughter.
This shows how well-known this sketch actor is in everyone's mind.
The robber spoke an authentic dialect and spoke to everyone in a decent line:
"Wealth comes from danger, and evil comes from courage. Let me inform you that the robbery has begun now."
He wore a large gold chain around his neck and held a metal detector in his hand.
He has a short and chubby figure, but this scene looks sinister in the eyes of the passengers.
The robbers used metal detectors inside the car to steal all the belongings of the passengers in the car.
One passenger even wanted to call the police, but was severely beaten by them.
Not long after, it was Lao Li's turn.
But no matter how the robber called him, Lao Li couldn't give him any reaction.
At this time, the camera specially gave Liu Zhenfeng a close-up of two or three seconds.
His eyes and expressions seemed extremely meaningful.
Next to him, Lao Li, who was leaning against the window and wearing sunglasses, had slightly white lips, and his whole body seemed to have no color at all.
Lao Liu took out his money: "This 500 is mine, you can take it."
"This 5,000 is his, you can't take it."
The robbers were very dissatisfied with this.
"What you said is the biggest insult to my industry. I'm grabbing the sky, the ground, and the air in the middle. Is there anything I can't take?"
The cinema suddenly burst into laughter.
Coupled with the already funny expressions of the sketch actors that everyone is familiar with, the laughter suddenly reached a climax.
Cai Cunyi turned around and saw the expressions of the actors and the audience behind him.
The tension on his face subsided a little.
The movie has been aired for a while now. Overall, everyone's reaction should be considered satisfactory, right?
Old Liu curled his lips and said calmly: "Can you take the dead man's money?"
The robber's expression suddenly changed.
"died?"
"died."
At this time, the audience at the scene burst into exclamations.
Only then did everyone realize that Lao Li was not drunk, but had already passed away.
Everyone couldn't help but admire this exquisite design.
"This design is very clever, I didn't even notice it just now!"
"Are you actually sending your friend's body home? Wow, it hit my heart right away!"
"What a wonderful twist. I think the box office of this movie will not be bad just because of this twist!"
Lu Song gave Song Ci and Cai Cunyi a thumbs up.
Although I had already prepared in my heart just now, I knew that Lao Li was most likely dead.
But at this moment, when Lao Liu said it so salty and nonchalantly, accompanied by a warm BGM, it still seemed a bit shocking.
Wei Weijiang touched his arm and even felt a little goosebumps rising.
This is the kind of touch that a good movie can give people from the bottom of their hearts as soon as it comes out.
It is foreseeable that if you look at it further, there will be a lot of tears in this movie.
Lao Li has actually lived a useless life his whole life.
He also died because he drank too much and died of drunkenness.
Because he died of drunkenness, it was not a work-related injury. In the end, the construction site boss only gave him a pension of 5,000 yuan.
When they were still alive, Lao Liu and Lao Li promised each other that no matter who died, the other would definitely take his body back to his hometown for burial.
This is to rest in peace and return to their roots.
At this point in the movie, along with Lao Liu's explanation, the theme of the entire movie was immediately clarified.
In the audience, there were some little girls who were a little more sentimental, and their eyes suddenly turned red.
The BGM was also replaced by the gentle sound of the erhu at this moment, with a little sadness.
Tang Shi pursed her lips and leaned on the chair to watch, her long eyelashes slightly raised.
You can feel that emotions are already brewing in her heart.
If there is anything touching later on, it will definitely make her cry.
Song Hongdou crossed her legs, and the expression on her face seemed quite calm.
I don’t know if it’s because the plot isn’t attractive enough to her, or because she’s still thinking about the “King of Women” movie project.
If Lao Li is cremated and his family comes to claim it, then the 5,000 yuan given by the construction site boss will basically not have much left.
So in order to fulfill his promise to his friend, and at the same time to deliver the money to Lao Li's wife and children who stayed in his hometown, Lao Liu had no choice but to take this trick and pretend that Lao Li was a drunkard and take him all the way home. .
The robber was immediately moved by Lao Liu's words.
Because he actually betrayed his brother when he was young, and he has regretted it for so many years.
So he admired Lao Liu's behavior very much.
So he gave him all the belongings he had just snatched.
And he warned the people in the car that no one was allowed to take it, and then he took his men and left.
Old Liu was holding a pile of money in his hand, looking very uneasy and not knowing what to do.
The passengers in the car ran over and took back all the money in his arms.
And the next moment, everyone just crossed the river and burned the bridge.
Originally, it was because of the existence of the dead man Lao Li that everyone was able to avoid being robbed of their belongings by the robbers.
But now, people are starting to complain crazily about dead people on the bus and demanding that the driver refund everyone's tickets.
Lao Liu felt that he had really caused trouble for everyone, so he chose to take Lao Li out of the car.
At this time, the car happened to drive to a 90-degree turn on the side of the mountain, and the camera gave a large vista from a distance.
To the left are green mountains, and to the right are stretches of highway.
The shot in the middle of the picture is also continuous.
It extends to the deepest part of the lens.
The road seems to indicate that Lao Liu's next road will seem to be endless and difficult.
The audience at the scene looked at this and sighed.
"This is human nature. This is portrayed so well!"
"Why are these people so hateful! If it weren't for Lao Li, your money would have been taken away by you. It's really hateful! Now you are leaving Lao Liu and Lao Li in this barren mountain. You let them Why go home, angry, really angry!"
Some film critics are holding small notebooks in their hands and have begun taking notes seriously.
These are all areas that need to be emphasized when writing film reviews after the film is officially released.
These are the highlights of this movie.
Old Liu took the initiative to carry Old Li out of the car.
Old Liu carried Old Li on his back and walked slowly on the road.
I don’t know how long I walked, but Lao Liu was exhausted.
Occasionally there would be passing vehicles, and Lao Liu started to look for these vehicles, but no vehicles wanted to take them.
Lao Liu is also a smart man. He pretended that Lao Li was a heart attack patient, hoping to win the sympathy of passing drivers.
Finally, after several cars passed by, he met a very enthusiastic uncle.
He drove the tractor and the two of them came all the way to the county seat.
Lao Liu wanted to take Lao Li out of the car, but the enthusiastic uncle insisted on sending the two people to the hospital.
There was no other way. Lao Liu was really worried about being discovered, so he gave the enthusiastic uncle 50 yuan to register first.
When the uncle disappeared in front of his eyes, he quietly left with Lao Li under the cover of night.
There isn't much dialogue in this section.
But it seems that the appearance of this ordinary good guy still moved the audience.
It made everyone's hearts feel as cool and sweet as a clear spring.
It was already late at night, and Lao Liu took Lao Li to stay in a motel.
This is Datongpu, where drivers who pull goods live.
As soon as he came in, he saw some people drinking and some bragging.
Many people were shirtless and talking about strange things happening on the road.
Lao Liu quickly became involved with everyone.
While chatting, he asked everyone if anyone wanted to go to Fog City and if he could give them a ride.
Someone pointed at a man lying on the bed.
At this time, the camera showed this middle-aged man half-covered with a quilt, wearing a white T-shirt and a beard.
This is another guest role played by a well-known actor from China.
After hesitating for a moment, Lao Liu still picked up a bottle of wine and walked to the man's bed with some embarrassment, wanting to ask him to take him to the foggy city.
But it was obvious that the worried man rejected Lao Liu directly without hesitation at all.
But Lao Liu still didn't want to give up, so he took him to drink together, hoping to build a closer relationship between the two.
The man blew the bottle dry in one breath, but still didn't agree, so he turned around and lay on the bed again.
"If you don't do it, what are you doing if you drink someone else's wine?" Lao Liu complained, and the audience burst into laughter again.
Everyone really likes this kind of natural and warm smile in the ordinary.
In the middle of the night, Lao Liu had already started snoring.
The camera showed the pocket of his coat.
A hand reached over and stole the money from his pocket.
It looks like a thick stack, but not much.
They are all in pieces.
There was only one hundred dollar bill.
But this hand accidentally kicked the steel basin on the ground, waking up Lao Liu.
Lao Li was lying next to Lao Liu on the bed, still wearing his hat, staring with a pair of eyes like bells, and his nose was not angry at all.
"Pee! Pee! Your brother is awake," the man explained.
Lao Liu was sleeping vaguely, and he glanced at Lao Li suddenly, and he was even frightened by him.
The scene suddenly burst into laughter again.
"Killing me!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"Teacher Liu, your natural acting skills are really amazing, amazing!"
Old Liu raised his hand and closed Old Li's eyes: "What do you see when someone pees?"
On the morning of the second day, Lao Liu discovered that his money had been stolen and became anxious.
He told everyone that the patients he was taking were very difficult, and he only had such a little money.
I hope that the person who stole the money can give him this face, see that he is pitiful, and return the money quickly.
If there is really no one to return it, can you let yourself go through it?
But everyone was ready to leave the hotel, and no one paid any attention to him.
5 or 6 pairs of eyes looked at him very coldly.
Lao Liu had no choice but to call the police and prepare to scare these people.
But he didn't expect that someone actually took out his phone and wanted to call the police for him.
So Lao Liu's expression suddenly became panicked. He quickly said that he didn't want the money and would treat it as a gift to them.
The man who drank all Lao Liu's bottle of wine last night sat next to him and watched all this happen silently.
He took a puff of cigarette, then drove and picked up Lao Liu.
"It's interesting, I don't have any money, but you drag me!" Old Liu said happily to the man.
There was a simple smile of a middle-aged man on his face.
The man with a slovenly beard still drove the car expressionlessly: "Why are you afraid of the police?"
Lao Liu glanced at Lao Li Ni who was lying in the back of the truck and said, "He is dead."
The man was so frightened that he slammed on the brakes.
"Do you think I look like a bad person?"
"Send him back to his hometown and rest in peace."
Old Liu looked at the man and explained with a pair of simple and honest eyes.
The cheerful BGM rang, and the man started the truck again.
Finally, Lao Liu found such a ride. At this time, the BGM was changed to an interlude sung by Liu Zhenfeng himself.
It's called "Don't Pick Wild Flowers on the Roadside."
"Don't pick the wild flowers on the roadside...if you don't pick them, it's useless..."
As soon as the song came out, the audience couldn't hold back.
"It's such a rustic song. It's so earthy and earthy. I've never heard this song before. It couldn't be written by Song lyrics!"
"Hahahahaha, Teacher Liu's singing is quite funny!"
"What's the name of this song? Isn't it just called Don't Pick Wild Flowers on the Roadside?"
When Song Hongdou heard the lyrics of this song, he turned his head and glanced at Song Ci suspiciously.
Seeing Song Ci sitting upright and looking at the screen calmly, she was thinking about whether Song Ci wrote the lyrics and music for this song, and she must remember to ask when she got down.
Tang Shi was sitting next to Song Hongdou.
Seeing Song Hongdou's huge reaction to this song, he even had an expression on his face that he wanted to cross-examine Song Ci.
She raised her hand and gently touched her white chin, thinking deeply. (End of chapter)
