Section 17: Funeral

"Blind Well", "Winter Solstice", "Warm Spring", "I Can't Forget", "Looking for Jay Chou"...

Du An sat cross-legged on the bed, lowered his head, holding a copy of Shenjiang Daily in his hand, and slowly scanning his eyes on it - today is the 14th, and the film festival will open tomorrow, and the list of participating films was also announced today. Shenjiang Daily, known as the "Encyclopedia of Modern and Contemporary History of China", was naturally published.

This is the 23rd time Duane has seen this list today, but like the previous 22 times, he did not find the name of "Saw" on it.

The old fan above his head turned slowly, sprinkling a cool breeze, but it could not drive away the restlessness in his heart at this moment. Finally, Du An grabbed the newspaper tightly and clenched it, making the newspaper curl, and then slowly let go of his fists and sighed lightly.

Tatta Tatta Tatta

Accompanied by footsteps, Shu Yu walked out of the bathroom, walked to the bed next to Du An, and sat down, put the plate in his hand on the bedside table between the two beds.

Duane looked at her and smiled bitterly.

As it turns out, Shu Yu's words should only comfort him. After all, she is just an ordinary person who graduated from the medical school management department, not the genius director she mentioned.

"Eat an apple."

Shu Yu said this, took a red Fuji apple from the plate, lowered her pillow and took out a fruit knife and peeled it.

Du An was stunned when he saw the fruit knife, and then swallowed a deep saliva: He really didn't know when Shu Yu hid a knife under the pillow. Fortunately, he has beenhaved in a manner these days. If he had been lustful to his comrade one day before, he would have had a murder case now.

Duane shook his head, threw his messy thoughts aside, and asked Shu Yu: "I can't make progress, when will we go back?"

Shuyu peeling skills are very good, and it can be peeled in a short while. Not only is it fast, but after pulling, the entire apple peel will be taken off and it will continue.

She handed Duane the peeled apple, took another apple, started to peel it, and said while cutting it, "Have you ever seen a movie? Go to the cinema to watch that kind."

Duane took a bite of the apple and chewed it while vaguely saying, "No."

He has gradually gotten used to Shu Yu's mind that is jumping.

"I don't, either, so let's go back the day after tomorrow and go to see a movie tomorrow."

Duan looked at Shu Yu thoughtfully.

The movie that was well-known failed to enter any unit, and this woman was not as calm as her face. As a person who didn't like watching movies and had never been to the cinema, she suddenly wanted to go to the cinema to watch a movie at this time. The thoughts in this are really something she thought: she was probably still unwilling to give up, and wanted to see how good the other movies that were better than the movie they made could be.

Duane took another bite of the apple and said a word vaguely.

"good."

...

On September 15th, the annual Shanghai Film Festival will open as scheduled.

The main venue this year is Shanghai Grand Theater. It was already arranged two days ago. The red carpet extends from the entrance of the theater to the side of the road. Guardrails were pulled up on both sides of the carpet, and reporters were crowded with reporters fighting for territory on both sides like ants. Experienced people held up the spotlights in their hands and shouted the names of the stars passing by on the red carpet, asking them to pose, but their butts were restless. They twisted silently, and squeezed their colleagues around them into a stagger, and the camera in their hands was also unsteady.

At this moment, an extended Bentley was stopped on the other end of the red carpet, and a woman walked out of it and walked on the red carpet gracefully.

"Gongli!..."

“GONG!…”

The scene was in the first orgasm of today. The media reporters who had been silent or talking quietly before were fully fired for a moment, and the flashing lights flashed, and they would not stop until they blinded people's eyes. At the same time, they shouted: "Gong Li, look here!" "Gong Li, turn around!" "Gong, poseforme!"...

The small movements in secret have also increased. With the mentality of not being good to me, you can't get better. If you shoot the private movements of these well-dressed media reporters, it will be enough to cut out a martial arts film about small grappling techniques.

Stars passed by one after another, and the reporters intermittently cummed, and the rules were obvious - those little stars who stayed by and could only walk the red carpet after they formed a group, such as Tom Cruise and Angelina Jolie who came over to the red carpet, obviously did not arouse the interest of reporters. Only local journalists in the United States would take a few pictures, and big stars like Gong Li who had a special car to be sent to the red carpet and were guided by security guards to make them cum.

After almost leaving, the opening ceremony finally began.

In addition to the invited opening ceremony members, opening ceremony tickets were leaked in the circle this year as usual, but the price of up to 200,000 yuan per ticket was obviously not something Du An and Shu Yu could afford, so they gave up their plans to watch the opening movie and bought tickets for the Da Guangming Cinema in the branch venue.

It happened to be the opening movie, "Warm Spring".

From the information on the declaration, it can be concluded that this movie has a high reputation for winning the championship, second only to the biggest hit "Blind Well". Of course, if it weren't for this, it wouldn't have been arranged to open the movie.

After going to Da Guangming Cinema, I waited for another half an hour and finally got into the venue.

"I hope I can appreciate the charm of the movie."

Shu Yu said this as she sat down in her seat, and Du An grinned when he heard this.

Although Shu Yu's face was expressionless and his eyes were calm, he could clearly feel his comrades' explicit mentality of not admitting defeat at this moment, and for a moment he felt a little like a little daughter.

There were ten minutes left before the crowds of people coming in, and almost every position in the theater was full. Looking around, it was dark, black, yellow, white, and colorful heads, and it felt like it was holding a United Nations General Assembly. The charm of the Shanghai Film Festival was evident.

After waiting for ten minutes, the movie began.

The story of "Warm Spring" is very simple. From the beginning, you can see the general context: in a poor countryside, Baozhu and his wife, Vanilla, have never had children. One day, the village chief's son Ergou picked up a girl at the entrance of the village, and no one was willing to adopt it. Baozhu's father stepped forward and took the girl away. The next story was something that one could guess at 70% or 80%.

The opening shots and texture made Duane think that he was watching movies from the 1960s and 1970s.

Maybe the director likes to play this style.

Duane said this to himself.

Next, the scene of Baozhu's father talking to the village chief was on the screen. The old actor who played Baozhu's father said something, which made Du An's facial features wrinkle into a ball - this line, this ups and downs, this tone pause with a strong tone on the stage, and this extremely heavy traces of actor dispatch. No matter how you look at it, you feel that the old man on the screen is the leader of the Southern Tour, giving instructions, rather than a poor old farmer with no education chatting with the village chief - this Baozhu's father is more like the village chief.

What is the image of an uneducated poor old farmer? Du An, who grew up in the countryside, has the most experience: it is direct and simple, and he often says a few swear words, and he will not tell you anything.

Even if the plot requires it, it is too much.

Duane shook his head and felt that it was not very comfortable to sit, so his butt slid a little, so his back, chair back and seat cushion formed a triangle, and his hands were placed on the armrest beside him, holding his head and looking at the screen.

The story on the screen continued, and one word after another popped up in Du An's heart.

The editing is abrupt, the story is loose, not compact, the rhythm is smooth, the performance of the young actor is artificial, and it is superficial...

Well, he didn't like watching movies at first, but now he has lost all his patience with the movie in front of him.

Duan yawned, closed his eyes, and wanted to sleep for a while, but as the plot progressed, the girl's suppressed sobs, the sound of blowing her nose hard, and the whispering discussions made him unable to sleep.

God.

Duan opened his eyes helplessly and looked up at the dark roof of the hall.

He couldn't watch it, and couldn't sleep. He wanted to leave. Suddenly, his shoulders sank. Looking sideways, he saw Shu Yu's head tilted, leaning against his shoulders, his hands crossed in front of his lower abdomen, and his chest was slightly undulating, which seemed to have fallen asleep.

“The quality of sleep is really good.”

Du An murmured in a low voice, envious of his comrade's excellent sleep quality, and he could even fall asleep in such an environment.

In this case, he didn't seem to have to think about being able to sleep anymore, so he had to sit up slowly bit by bit. During this period, he moved a little bit, and Shu Yu's head tilted. Seeing that it was about to slide down, Du An quickly slid her head with his hand, stabilized her head on his shoulder, and when he retracted his hand, he had a long hair between his fingers.

Shu Yu is sleeping soundly now, and he is not good enough to leave the scene. He simply waved his hand and shook his hair and continued to look at the screen.

"Warm Spring" lasts 83 minutes. When this period of time finally passed, the screen was dark and the lights in the theater were on. Du Ann woke up Shu Yu beside him and walked out of the theater.

When welcoming the sun outside, Duane still didn't know what had just happened.

This is the quality of the opening film? But looking at the audience around who were still red after watching "Warm Spring" and his eyes were still red, Duane could only think that he was probably a cold-blooded and did not know how to appreciate the film.

Of course, he still has fellow men - the lesbian beside him who slept in a movie is his close comrade. Both of them are cold-blooded and do not know how to enjoy the movie.

At this moment, a couple walked past them, and the man looked angry.

"What's the matter here? I'm almost asleep. It's like I'm back in the 1980s. Now the Shanghai Film Festival is of this quality?"

The woman had red eyes and looked pitiful and said, "Don't you think this movie is very touching? I think this movie is very good."

The man blurted out and wanted to swear, but looked at the female companion beside him and thought that if he angered the other party, he might have to sleep on the sofa tonight, but he finally put his words back in his stomach.

He was also a cold-blooded guy who didn't understand movies. Du An commented on the gay man, and then said to Shu Yu, "Let's go." But he found that Shu Yu looked in one direction and stood still.

Du An looked down at Shu Yu and found a curtain was pulled up on a small open space on the right side of the Da Guangming Cinema. There were some simple screening equipment around, and there were open-air movies. A blond and white man in his thirties walked around, constantly pulling people over to watch the movies. Some people stopped to watch it under his inspiration, but they basically took a step away after watching it for a while. The white man was not discouraged and continued to attract audiences in his fairly qualified Chinese language, which was pronounced strangely.

It has to be said that the influence of Shanghai Film Festival is huge. If someone set up a stall like this on weekdays, he would have been driven away by the urban management. But now facing the Shanghai Film Festival and these tourists from all over the world who are attracted to it, Shanghai Urban Management obviously also knows that he should not appear, giving filmmakers all over the world a free and relaxed atmosphere, which will help Shanghai's urban image and tourism income.

"Go and take a look."

Shu Yu said this and walked over first.

She is indeed suitable for being a producer. Although she doesn't talk much, she can often get closer to people by just a few simple words. Look, in a short while, the white man stopped attracting the audience, but stood there and started chatting with Shu Yu.

"...I don't know, you know, I took this, I wanted someone to see it, I can't get inside, but I can be outside, here,"

When Duane walked over, he heard that.

The white man kept gestured and smiled brightly on his face, "I can let them see, look, this is my movie! The movie I made! This feeling is so wonderful!"

Shu Yu listened silently and asked a key sentence at the right time: "Can this make you money?"

The white man was stunned and then laughed: "Hey, man! You know, I came here from Florida, air tickets, hotels, instruments, all of which are all I paid for. I spent 5,000 US dollars, but that doesn't matter. What's important is that I showed my movie at the Shanghai Film Festival and someone watched it! Oh, mygodness! This is the charm of the movie! Making money? I never thought about it."

Duane obviously cannot understand the thinking of such movie enthusiasts.

"Let's go."

Duan said to Shu Yu again.

Shu Yu didn't move, just wrapped her hands around her chest, looking at the curtain that was temporarily pulled up, and didn't know what she was thinking.

Finally, Shu Yu said to the white man, "Actually, I am a producer, he is a director," she pointed to Duane next to her, "We made a movie, but we couldn't get in. Can you play our movie?"

Du An was stunned.

After he came to his senses, he couldn't help asking, "What's the point?"

Yes, the list of exhibitors has been confirmed, and they have been lost. What's the point of screening "Saw" on this open space now? Even if the passers-by like it, the pedestrians are pedestrians. They are not people in the circle, nor are they the kind of people in the circle with weight. Their opinions will not affect Rising Film and Television.

Duane added another sentence.

"Don't tell me that you are also a movie lover, don't forget that you fell asleep when you watched the movie just now."

A person who doesn't like watching movies and can even see sleeping in movies is obviously not a movie lover.

Shu Yu didn't turn her eyes and said, "Yes, I don't like watching movies, but even so, I think "Saw" is better than the movie we just watched." At least she didn't fall asleep while watching "Saw".

Shu Yu turned her head and looked at Du An. The eyes behind the big black frame were cold, firm and powerful.

"And, "Saw" seems to me not just a movie, it's our product."
