This star is from the earth - #762 - Chapter 742 Love Letter (2)
After his mind shook for half a second, Weng Yao returned to rationality and calmly discerned, only then did he realize that the speaker was not a woman, and the tone was very familiar.
After knocking on the door and pushing it away, Weng Yao saw the other party.
“Ah, it’s Teacher Gu.” Seeing Gu Fan sitting on the sofa, Weng Yao greeted Gu Fan with half regret and half relaxation.
“It’s quite early.” Gu Fan turned his head and smiled at Weng Yao. The two had met on the “Creation 909” program before, so he waved Weng Yao casually as a greeting.
“It’s my first time participating in the reading, I was a little nervous, so I came earlier.” Weng Yao finished talking with a smile, looked at Han Jue behind the desk, paused, and then said: “Mr. Han.”
“Ms. Han, Director Han, Han Jue, you can call me whoever you want.” Han Jue ate potato chips and asked Weng Yao to sit on a sofa.
The manager had already left after thanking Han Jue. Weng Yao sat down on the sofa opposite Gu Fan, and turned to observe Han Jue.
Compared with when he sang “Broad Sea and Sky” at the Enrollment Banquet, the current Han Jue has short hair and is sorting out the manuscripts and materials on the table. He has already entered a state of preparation for war, and he does not have the slightest idleness of vacation travel.
“Have you read the script?” Han Jue asked casually.
Weng Yao quickly replied: “I have seen it.”
Gu Fan’s eyes fell on the script in Weng Yao’s hand, and he exclaimed, “Have you read it more than ten times? It’s amazing.”
Weng Yao said with a smile: “The story is too exciting.” It is a default.
Gu Fan was as happy as if his writing had been praised by others, but what he said was: “Actually, it’s okay, a normal literary film, with the same name and surname added, which is not very new. The acting The most important role is only the heroine, and as for the hero’s best friend, he has no role at all.” Gu Fan glanced at Han Jue very deliberately, and increased his volume, “But I’m still dedicated! The director ordered me to What else can I say about being an actor? Even if the filming may only take a few seconds, I can only find a master, learn how to make glass for two months, and then spend another month practicing mountaineering…”
Han Jue couldn’t stand it anymore, and said, “Even if you say that, you still have to convince Teacher Zhang yourself.”
Gu Fan closed his mouth, and lay down as if he was discouraged: “Cut!”
Weng Yao watched it in silence, but he was shocked when he heard that Gu Fan spent two months learning how to make glass and another month practicing mountaineering for the role. Compared with Gu Fan’s preparation, she read the script more than a dozen times and added some details to the characters, which pales in comparison, as if she had no preparations.
“Because he doesn’t match up with the artist at all, so he needs to prepare a little more. You don’t need to learn from him because you have a lot of matching with the character.” Han Jue comforted Weng Yao with a joke, which made her come out of anxiety.
Weng Yao smiled, while being grateful, while sighing in his heart. Before coming here, she never thought that Han Jue could be so gentle and considerate to others. It’s a miracle.
The change of a person is absolutely inseparable from the subtle influence of the surrounding environment.
Weng Yao couldn’t help guessing, if Han Jue had been in love with his cousin and hadn’t broken up, would Gu Fan and the others still be his friends after being in love for several years? Will the character be like this now? Will he retire calmly at his peak and travel the world hand in hand with his lover?
Although I’m sorry for my cousin, Weng Yao had an answer in just a moment.
She thought sadly, the answer is most likely [no]…
There was a knock on the door of Han Jue’s office.
Walking in was a young man in his twenties, tall and handsome, playing the role of the male protagonist in high school.
The young man tensed up as soon as he came in, and he was greeting everyone in the room one by one.
“Director Han. Teacher Gu. Sister Weng Yao.”
Huaxia artists call people unhappy by adding the word “senior” after their names, calling them brothers and sisters, which is actually equivalent to respecting seniors.
The address of the other party let Weng Yao know that he was not the youngest.
After the young man said hello, he pursed his lips and stamped in hidden panic. Thinking about it, the original plan was also to arrive early, to show a humble attitude, but now that I saw it, I thought I was late.
“Don’t stand there. We’re all here early, and the conference room hasn’t opened yet, so sit down and drink some tea.” Gu Fan beckoned the young man to sit aside.
The lad is kind.
During the chat, Weng Yao knew that the other party was an actor of [Ai Du], his previous occupation was a model, and his performance-related resume was only in advertisements.
In Weng Yao’s heart, he is not only grateful that he is not alone, but also has hesitation about filming.
Among the four main roles, there are already two idols and one model… With this cast, is it really okay to make a literary film?
Fortunately, Weng Yao could recognize the name of the heroine who appeared later, and he also recognized the other’s works, so he immediately stabilized his confidence.
The heroine is called Lin Luochun. She is an actor who was born as a child star. In recent years, she has been nominated for Best Actress twice at the [Golden Bull Awards], but each time she was short of breath. This time she took on “Love Letter”. Go after the seal.
People arrived one after another, and everyone moved to the conference room.
The meeting room has been arranged, and the two rows of tables and chairs in the middle are separated by a certain distance, facing each other. There are microphones, pens and paper, tea and name tags on the table. Actors are in one row, and behind-the-scenes creators such as directors, screenwriters, photographers, and Fu Huadao are in the other row. There are also some tables and chairs near the walls around the meeting room, without nameplates, which are the seats for investors and other crew members.
Weng Yao sat down according to the nameplate, and looked around after sitting down, feeling nervous again. There were about 50 people present for the script reading.
Weng Yao had only heard of this formation, and it was the first time he experienced it himself. Her status as an idol makes her here, like a thief who strayed into the venue, guilty and out of place.
Can I really act later?
If the performance is poor, will I be replaced?
Weng Yao looked at the camera in front of him that recorded the whole reading process and her performance, and felt his legs were shaking.
Weng Yao took a deep breath, and forced himself to relax just as the acting teacher taught him.
After everyone sat down, everyone was sent a script.
“Then let’s start now.” Han Jue’s words made the scene quickly quiet, and the only sound in the conference room was the sound of people turning over the first page of the script.
Read the script around, all the leading actors read the entire script by role, the director proposes ideas, the actors try to realize them, find out the problems of the script together, and sort them out. Other behind-the-scenes creators put forward their own views and fully communicated.
Han Jue took the script, acted as a narrator, and read: “Snow, exterior scene. The whistling sound of heavy snow. Du Xiaobai was dressed in black, lying on his back in the snow…”
…………
Du Xiaobai lay on his back in the snow, panting heavily. She was wondering just now whether people would suffocate themselves to death by holding their breath. With that in mind, I tried to do it.
The result is no.
Such attempts are usually rare. It’s just that on the second anniversary of the death of my fiancé, it is inevitable to think about things related to death frequently. For example, dead people, living people, living but like dead people.
The icy air passed through the lungs, turned into heat again in a circle, and formed a cloud of mist when exhaled, dissipating in the air. Du Xiaobai stared at the snowy sky, stared blankly for a while, then got up, patted the snowflakes on his black clothes and hair, and walked down the mountain slowly.
Her fiancé, Ashu, had an accident while climbing two years ago and died at a young age. Du Xiaobai, as an unmarried wife, should have ended her relationship with her husband’s family, but she not only attends her fiancé’s memorial day every year, but also visits The two elders who unfortunately lost their children took good care of them, calling them parents, just like a daughter-in-law.
While the two elders were relieved, they felt pity and guilt. They were afraid of delaying the other girl. They persuaded Du Xiaobai in words, you are still young, you should go forward and find happiness again.
Du Xiaobai always smiled and prevaricated, stubbornly pretending not to understand.
On the second anniversary of this time, the two elders felt a little regretful and disappointed when they saw Du Xiaobai coming alone.
In front of the tombstone, after people took turns to worship, Du Xiaobai was the last one, staring at the photo on the tombstone by himself, standing for a long time, looking at it for a long time, and speaking his heart for a long time.
This time, she and Ah Shu’s mutual friend, Qiu Ye, couldn’t attend due to temporary business. Several friends from the mountaineering club came to apologize to Du Xiaobai on behalf of Qiu Ye. Du Xiaobai shook his head and said softly that it doesn’t matter.
Qiu Ye is Ah Shu’s best friend, and Qiu Ye was there when Ah Shu had an accident.
In fact, Qiu Ye wasn’t the only one who didn’t come today, none of the team members who abandoned Ah Shu after Ah Shu fell off the cliff didn’t show up.
“In these years, everyone has been very uncomfortable. After such a thing happened, they dare not climb the mountain anymore.” A friend of the mountaineering club said with emotion.
The atmosphere fell silent, and the creaking sound of feet stepping on the snow was exceptionally clear.
In front, Ah Shu’s mother suddenly had a headache and couldn’t stand upright. Du Xiaobai ran over, anxiously trying to drive her to the hospital, but Ah Shu’s mother said that it was good to go home and rest.
The car was driving on the road, and before the person was sent home, my mother suddenly let go of her hand and sat up straight, without any sign of a headache.
“I’m pretending to be sick and want to go home early.” Ah Shu’s mother smiled triumphantly.
Du Xiaobai helplessly slowed down the speed of the car, feeling in his heart, his mother is so extroverted and lively, but Ah Shu is slow and dull, I really don’t understand why.
After arriving home, Du Xiaobai was not in a hurry to go back to eat, but went into the house to drink tea.
This house belongs to the ancestral house, Du Xiaobai doesn’t come here many times, every time he comes, he seems to be drawn to linger in Ah Shu’s room for a long time. She slowly scanned the paintings on the wall, the books on the desk, and every piece of furniture in the room, trying to feel the existence of her fiancé through the traces left by her fiancé during his lifetime.
Ah Shu’s mother changed her clothes, walked in suddenly, looked at Du Xiaobai’s back, and didn’t join in feeling sad. It’s not that she wasn’t sad, but that during the past two years, she missed her son all the time, but she could stop endlessly to be sad, and Du Xiaobai could still move forward, so in front of Xiaobai, sad Your emotions don’t have to explode at this time.
“By the way!” Ah Shu’s mother suddenly took out a book from the bookcase, and asked Du Xiaobai excitedly: “Do you want to read Ah Shu’s graduation album? I just found it in a pile of old boxes.”
I haven’t seen it before! Du Xiaobai nodded happily. She is interested in everything about her lover.
“At that time, Ah Shu was still in high school, and we lived in a house allocated by the company. Now that company has closed down, the house seems to have been demolished and a road built.” Ah Shu’s mother fell into emotion.
Du Xiaobai listened quietly, his mind already on the graduation album in his hand.
Du Xiaobai doesn’t know much about Ah Shu’s high school life. After knowing that this graduation album was left by Ah Shu when he was in high school, Du Xiaobai carefully opened it as if he had found a treasure.
Looking at his fiancé who looked like a high school student in the class photo, Du Xiaobai smiled and said that nothing had changed. Thinking that it was almost the same as the photo on the tombstone, Du Xiaobai suddenly felt sad, and just held the souvenir book in a daze.
Ah Shu’s mother got up and went to the kitchen to prepare some food, leaving the space for Du Xiaobai.
Du Xiaobai regained his composure, and turned back page after page, looking for traces of his fiancé in each page.
When he turned to the page with the student’s home address, Du Xiaobai searched for the name of his fiancé [Tang Jingshu], and saw a string of addresses. The place that Ah Shu’s mother said had been demolished.
Du Xiaobai suddenly had an idea in his heart.
She wants to send a letter to this address.
Sending a letter to this address that no one can receive is like sending a letter to a lover in heaven.
What to write?
As for what he wants to say to his lover, Du Xiaobai can’t finish it for days and nights.
But when so many thoughts, so many complaints, and so many grievances passed through her heart, she suddenly knew what she was going to write.
Just write:
【Respected by: Tang Jingshu
Are you OK?
I am fine.
Du Xiaobai. 】
Du Xiaobai was very satisfied with his thoughts, he pursed his lips and copied the address on his wrist.
A few days later, Du Xiaobai sat in Qiu Ye’s studio, and his face was completely devoid of the depression and depression that he had just attended tomb-sweeping on the festival day.
Qiu Ye was surprised and curious, while making glass crafts, he asked Du Xiaobai: “Is the festival going well?”
A smile floated on Du Xiaobai’s face, and he replied slowly: “It’s going well.”
Qiu Ye winked and stared at Du Xiaobai.
Du Xiaobai couldn’t help watching, made an unprofessional angry expression, and asked with a smirk, “What are you doing?”
Qiu Ye smiled and asked, “What good thing happened to you?”
Du Xiaobai asked how you knew. Qiu Ye said that it was clearly written on your face.
Du Xiaobai touched his face, remained silent for a moment, and said cautiously: “I saw a graduation yearbook at his home.”
Qiu Ye slowed down and asked, “And then?”
Du Xiaobai: “At the end of the yearbook, there is the address of each student. His address has now been built into a road. I sent a letter to that address and took him as the recipient.”
Qiu Ye stopped moving: “Send a letter there, it’s impossible for someone to receive it.”
“I sent it because I couldn’t receive it.” Du Xiaobai said softly, “Because I sent it to the sky.”
Qiu Ye sighed, but finally put on a smile and said, “This kind of strange thing really looks like you would do it.”
However, Du Xiaobai didn’t finish what he wanted to say. “Then, guess what the result is?” Du Xiaobai could not hide a smile on his face, “I received a reply.”
Qiu Ye was stunned for a moment, but didn’t react, he didn’t believe it. Du Xiaobai proudly took out the reply letter to prove that he is not a liar.
Looking at the reply letter on the paper claiming to have caught a cold, Qiu Ye decided it was a prank.
Du Xiaobai didn’t care, he just felt very happy, saying that it was like a reply letter from A Shu in the sky.
Qiu Ye smacked his lips, his face full of complexity. This kind of absurd prank happened, but Du Xiaobai deceived himself to be happy about it, which means that these two years have passed, and she still can’t forget A Shu. Thinking of this, Qiu Ye seemed a little angry. While asking, “Then what about our relationship?” while approaching Du Xiaobai. Du Xiaobai dodged like a rabbit. In the end Qiu Ye hugged Du Xiaobai impatiently, bowed his head and kissed her.
…………
“I think there is a lack of foreshadowing here.” Gu Fan, who plays Qiu Ye, put forward his own views on the role.
Everyone in the conference room cast their gazes. A few people looked at Han Jue.
Gu Fan said: “When I read the script for the first time, I felt that Qiu Ye’s anger and jealousy were a bit inexplicable.
“The setting in the script is that Tang Jingshu, Du Xiaobai, and Qiu Ye have known each other for nearly ten years. Qiu Ye has always been secretly in love with Du Xiaobai, but because his friend Tang Jingshu confessed first, he has been hiding this feeling But after the accidental death of his friend, Qiu Ye’s feelings for Du Xiaobai surfaced again. But this setting, the audience didn’t know it when they saw it, which means they were unprepared.
“I was ashamed to my friend before, saying that I dare not climb the mountain again. Then I turned around and kissed my friend’s fiancée forcibly… In the eyes of the audience, Qiu Ye looked like a bastard who took advantage of others.”
Everyone agrees after listening to it.
When you don’t fully understand the relationship between the characters, just watching the above scene, it is easy to hate the second male Qiu Ye as a villain.
And later in the script, even if Qiu Ye took her to find [Tang Jingshu who answered the letter] with the intention of curing Du Xiaobai, the audience would only angrily feel that Qiu Ye was selfish and impatient. He wanted Du Xiaobai to clean up his relationship with his past lover.
Gu Fan’s speech was not polite, there was no detour, and no reservations. Everyone turned their attention to Han Jue, wondering how Han Jue would respond to this.
In the film and television industry, temper and fame have always been directly proportional. Now that Han Jue is an upstart in the film and television industry, he has never missed a piece of work. When he suddenly heard that someone had an opinion on the script, it was normal for him to get angry no matter how angry he was.
“Yes!” After listening to Gu Fan’s words, Han Jue Han Jue nodded vigorously with an expression that you were right.
He gave Gu Fan a thumbs up and said, “When I watched it for the first time, I was also very upset!”
In his previous life, he watched the movie “Love Letter” for the first time, and he didn’t know the specific relationship between the characters. When he saw the male second Akiha “kiss” the female first Hiroko Watanabe, he almost scolded, and then saw Watanabe After Bozi accepted the kiss with half push and half push, he was even more absurd and speechless. The specific feelings are as Gu Fan said, the audience is still immersed in the heroine’s feelings for the deceased fiancé, there is no foreshadowing, and there is no hint, and the audience can’t help being surprised when they see the male protagonist being raped in the next second. And the heroine still doesn’t push people away after being kissed, which gives people the feeling of [his friendship with the hero is fake], [her love for the hero is fake], and I just feel that the hero is so miserable .
The most important point is that the actor who played Akiba in the original “Love Letter” is not handsome enough to make the audience forgive him and fill him with reasonable motives. Compared with the handsome boy Takashi Kashiwahara, the “villain Xiang” almost reveals his true colors.
“Hahaha.” There was a chuckle at the scene. Hearing that Han Jue was the first to complain about his own script, everyone immediately let go of their tense emotions, and laughed along with confidence.
The young man who played the young Tang Jingshu also laughed cheerfully. Suddenly, he heard Weng Yao beside him whisper, “It’s amazing.”
The young man didn’t know why, and asked, “What’s so great? Teacher Gu is so good?”
“Didn’t you see that Teacher Han did it on purpose?” Weng Yao said in a low voice.
“on purpose?”
Weng Yao seemed to see through everything with his eyes: “Teacher Gu was the first to come to Teacher Han’s office today. With their relationship, what Teacher Gu said just now, do you think Teacher Han would not know? The actor pointed out the problem with the script, Mr. Gu would not be so reckless to keep the director and screenwriter from coming to the stage. So they must have said it beforehand. Mr. Han left a loophole in the script and asked Mr. Gu to be the first to speak out in public, and then he accepted the opinion. This is to convey a signal—everyone, don’t be afraid to offer your opinions and opinions, he, the director, is not a domineering person, as long as it is for the good of the movie, he will listen and consider it.”
The young man suddenly realized.
Looking at the relaxed atmosphere at the scene, I feel that Director Han is amazing, Teacher Gu is amazing, and the Weng Yao beside him can see Director Han’s intentions, and he is also very amazing!
He looked down at the thoughts he had written in the script, eager to try, and prepared to speak later.
“My suggestion is to add some details about Qiu Ye’s feelings for Du Xiaobai.” Gu Fan pointed out the problem, followed by his own suggestion.
Gu Fan felt that to let the audience understand Qiu Ye, it was not only about pointing out that Qiu Ye fell in love with Du Xiaobai at first sight, but Tang Jingshu was a step behind, and out of loyalty, he buried his love until his friend died.
“Yes, I think so too.” Han Jue nodded, recording something on the paper.
In addition, it should be pointed out that after Tang Jingshu’s death, Qiu Ye has been concerned about Du Xiaobai’s psychological state.
Gu Fan continued: “I also want to add some details about Qiu Ye’s concern about Du Xiaobai’s psychological state. Taking Du Xiaobai to Tang Jingshu’s hometown is to encourage her to come out of the past.”
At the beginning, he tried to hold his breath and suffocate, which has initially shown that Du Xiaobai’s spirit has fallen into a not-so-good state after his lover’s death. Qiu Ye was worried that Du Xiaobai, who was depressed, would eventually slide to death with the dead, so he often pushed Du Xiaobai to move forward with a proactive and strong attitude, not to stay in the past.
Han Jue said while writing: “Not bad. For example, I care about whether she is eating on time, agree to find a time to go out for a walk together, ask her if she is still exercising, and recommend her to develop new hobbies…”
Han Jue’s voice weakened, and his thoughts drifted outside the conference room.
He remembered the days when Gu Fan moved to the apartment to eat, drink and live together, he remembered the days and nights when Zhang Yiman was with him when he was sick, he remembered Guan Yi often asking him how his fighting skills were maintained, and he remembered Jia Lun Si kept recommending bad movies to him, and remembered that Xia Yuan introduced him to Africa as a volunteer…
“What’s wrong?” Gu Fan asked him.
Han Jue shook his head, smiled, and said, “It’s nothing, let’s continue.”
He feels that he is really very lucky to be loved by these people.
