The mainland really needed a director to show China's cities to the Westerners.
It wasn't the love story of the fifth generation, but the true state of people living in the city.
But at least so far, this person had not appeared. Old Merchant could not do it, and neither could Lou Ye. They were too self-centered and closed off. In a sense, Lou Ye was unusually cold. He had no intention of looking for a piece of history or a kind of reality in this city. What he cared about was a mirror-like, perfect love story under the dilapidated city.
Wang Jun had stayed in Shanghai for half a month, but he still couldn't adapt. This place was not like Fenyang, where the outline of the huge city could not be hidden.
He hated big cities.
It was early in the morning. He had just finished running in his sportswear and was walking along the Suzhou Creek.
Wang Jun wasn't Lou Ye. He couldn't feel the childhood habits and sighs that this river brought to him. In his eyes, this was a smelly ditch full of ferryboats and garbage.
He was squatting on the riverbank smoking. The greenish-gray sky and the old green river water, one vast and boundless, the other narrow and cramped, two things that could not be connected from afar, actually had a place where they met.
Wang Jun felt that he was awesome!
In Shanghai in the 1990s, by the Suzhou River, smoking a cigarette and looking up at the sky, even if you played with this background, you would still feel that you were special and had a unique literary essence.
Furthermore, he had Young Master Zhou accompanying him.
"Why are you up so early?"
"I'm getting old. I can't sleep."
Young Master Zhou came to his side from behind and said with a smile,""Are you really only 20 years old?"
Wang Jun glanced at her and asked,""You acted so well as a little girl, and you still have the cheek to ask me?”
"I'm a little girl!" Young Master Zhou laughed.”
Wang Jun stopped talking. Actually, he was a little afraid of her.
There was a long-circulated secret interview technique in the entertainment circle, which was the technique of how to capture those big stars.
For example, if you interviewed Lu Yi, you would talk to him about the sun. If you interviewed Zhou Xun, you would talk to her about the sea.
Everyone knows that Zhou Xun likes the sea. You just need to tell her that the sea will definitely make your interview very enjoyable.
Such a girl was only suitable to live in a fairy tale. She lived to pursue her own spiritual fulfillment, such as life and love.
As the saying went, there was Zhou Xun in the east and Taylor in the west.
The frequency and number of boyfriends that these two goddesses changed were known to the world. Although Zhou Xun could not compare to Taylor, he was the first in the country.
She wasn't promiscuous, nor was she a playboy. It was just that her love came and went suddenly. She was always pursuing the novelty of love, and she was 100% invested in every love.
Wang Jun was very afraid to deal with such a girl. It was not that he was narcissistic and thought that she would like him. It was because he was very, very uninterested in people who were abnormally sensitive and particular about feelings.
No matter what happened, what they needed was always feeling! Feelings! Feelings!
Wang Jun, who felt that the world was at peace after eating his fill, could not understand that realm.
"Why aren't you saying anything?"
Young Master Zhou saw that he was silent and could not help but ask.
"What? Oh, then why are you up so early?”Wang Jun asked.
Young Master Zhou started to stutter again,""The blanket, the blanket is too wet. I slept all over, and my entire body itched.”
"It's a sunny day today," Wang Jun said.”
Suzhou Creek wasn't much richer than Platform. Even if there was more, the actors were paid. After all, Wang Jun was no longer a virgin, and Zhou Xun was also a newcomer with a strong momentum. They could no longer be paid according to the salary of passers-by A and B.
Therefore, the production team was very frugal in terms of food, clothing, accommodation, and transportation. It was as shabby as it could be.
Young Master Zhou nodded and asked,"What about the itch?"”
"Also bask in the sun."
"Then how?"
"This…"
Wang Jun looked to the east. The sun had already risen. He suddenly jumped onto the square stone by the river and stretched his arms high to reach the distant ray of sunlight.
As if he felt that his hands were not long enough, he jumped a few times with a cigarette in his mouth."Let's just bask in the sun like this."
Young Master Zhou laughed and said in a slightly hoarse voice,""Alright, alright, you're too silly. Come down quickly.”
Wang Jun also felt that she was very stupid. She jumped down, twisted the cigarette butt, and flicked it into the trash can beside her.
"Do you still have cigarettes? Give me one."”
Wang Jun didn't like girls smoking, but she couldn't control herself if she really smoked. She took out another cigarette and handed it to her.
Young Master Zhou held it in his mouth and Wang Jun lit it for her.
She took a deep breath. Perhaps it was too strong, but she choked and coughed repeatedly. White smoke came out of her mouth.
Wang Jun fanned the remaining smoke for her and said in surprise,"You don't know how to smoke? I thought you would."
He was referring to the day they first met. She picked up Lou Ye's cigarette and took two puffs.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem, I was pretending.”
"Then why do you want cigarettes?" Wang Jun wondered.”
Young Master Zhou finally caught his breath. He glanced at him and suddenly jumped onto the Dafang Stone.
Imitating Wang Jun's actions, he held a cigarette in his mouth and stretched his arms up to touch the ray of sunlight.
The sun had risen a little, and the thin ray of light was not far from her head. Young Master Zhou jumped twice with all his might. Finally, on the third jump, the sunlight shone on his warm fingertips, and they slid through the gaps between his fingers.
"Haha! I've touched it!"
Young Master Zhou jumped up and down excitedly on the rock as if he had gone crazy.
Wang Jun was dumbfounded. He really needed another cigarette to calm down.
Sometimes she was serious to the point of stupidity, and sometimes she was crazy to the point of madness. Therefore, he was really quite afraid of this girl.
…………
The cameraman was Wang Yu, and his style was very different from Yu Liwei's.
He liked to carry the camera and follow you around. Sometimes he would take pictures of your front, sometimes he would take pictures of your back. You thought he was beside you, but when you turned around, you found that he was taking pictures of the street lamp again.
This was very physically taxing. Sometimes, Wang Yu could not carry it anymore, so he carried it with his hands. He could not even hold it steadily, and it swayed back and forth.
When he was taking a close-up shot, Wang Jun watched as the camera moved less than ten centimeters away from his head. He was always worried that it would hit him.
He had also asked Lou Ye why he didn't shoot at a fixed time.
Lou Ye said that he was too poor and couldn't afford a tripod, so he made do with it.
Make do my ass! Who are you trying to fool!
Wang Jun didn't believe him and insisted on seeing the effect. After getting Lou Ye's approval, Wang Yu generously handed the camera to him.
Therefore, Wang Jun and Mr. Zhou squeezed together to watch the scene in the viewfinder.
Lou Ye's style was completely different from Old Merchant's. Old Merchant's movie was full of long shots. It was plain and simple, like the most authentic record. Lou Ye's lens was in the middle. The focal length was constantly moving forward and out. The image was sometimes clear and sometimes blurry, and it kept shaking.
Although the color was gray and dull, although the picture had a rough graininess, although the movement and rhythm of the camera were a little strange, all of these did not stop Chu Qing and Young Master Zhou from being shocked.
This was a scene that had just been filmed last night. Zhou Xun had long hair and smoky makeup, and he was wearing a tight green short skirt and stockings. His small face was suddenly far away and close, like a blurred fairy jumping on the blurred street.
Wang Jun and Young Master Zhou couldn't help but look at each other. One of them asked silently," So you can be so good-looking." The other one was rolling his eyes.
Ever since the two of them finished filming their first scene together, Lou Ye was completely relieved. If it weren't for that damn money that was still bothering him, he even felt that he could have nothing else to ask for in his life.
Every subtle change and confrontation between these two young actors, every agile and casual performance, made Lou Ye's heart twitch as he hid behind the camera.
Zhou Xun and Peony, Wang Jun and Ma Da, there seemed to be no boundary between them. They had merged into one. Zhou Xun would naturally put his arms around Wang Jun's neck when he was driving the motorcycle. Wang Jun would also squat down and tie Zhou Xun's shoelaces impatiently...
These were not in the script. This kind of interaction was like two people creating a romantic relationship with their own hands, and then when it reached the most beautiful moment, they had to personally smash it into pieces.
When Lou Ye thought of this, every cell in his body was filled with a morbid excitement.
In this movie, the biggest difference between the two of them was that Mr. Zhou believed in this love story while Chu Qing did not. He would rather believe in the truth behind this story.
Ma Da was actually a deliveryman. He had a woman before, but he still kept in touch with her after they broke up. He often helped her deliver some contraband. Later, the woman found out about Peony's existence and planned to let Ma Da kidnap Peony and ask Peony's father for a ransom.
By the way, that woman was played by Nai 'an.
However, Ma Da suddenly felt that he really liked this girl a little, so he deliberately avoided her. Then, on a rainy night, Peony came to his house.
"Brother, take it easy later. Don't hit me.”
Wang Jun said to Wang Yu worriedly. The cameras would be close-up and they would have to turn around to shoot. He was afraid that Wang Yu would not be able to hold the machine with his small arms and legs.
Wang Yu joked,"Don't worry, I'll definitely aim at you and hit you. I won't hurt Little Zhou."”
"Alright!" Wang Jun said. I treated you to a bun yesterday for nothing!"
Assistant Director Mao Xiaorui came over and said," Hey, Qing, you're not being nice. You only invited him and not me?”
Wang Jun laughed and changed the topic. At this moment, Lou Ye suddenly shouted,"Everyone, get ready!"
Mao Xiaorui rolled his eyes and followed suit.“Action!”
Wang Jun took a deep breath and controlled his emotions. He stood at the dark door and opened it. A bright yellow light reflected outside. In the midst of the yellow light was Young Master Zhou, who was drenched in sweat.
She hugged the birthday present that the man had given her-a doll. Her face was covered in rain or sweat as she panted and trembled from the cold.
When she saw Wang Jun, she suddenly grinned and looked at him with trepidation. Her wet hair was stuck to her forehead, and below it was a pair of bright eyes. She was afraid and aggrieved…
Wang Jun took a towel and wiped her face expressionlessly. His movements were neither light nor heavy.
Young Master Zhou pursed his lips and looked around the room in fear. It made people feel like she was going to cry in the next second, but she held it in.
She tilted her head and saw a bottle of wine on the table.
Almost without thinking, she picked up the wine, unscrewed the cap, and poured it into her mouth. Wine trickled down the corner of his mouth, and large drops of tears fell from the corners of his eyes.
Wang Jun came over to snatch the bottle of wine.
Young Master Zhou hugged him tightly and refused to let go. His thin and small body was pulled by Chu Qing until it was crooked. He cried,"You only let me stay because I drank too much!”
Wang Jun snatched the bottle and placed it on the table. When he turned around, she hugged him even tighter.
Young Master Zhou wrapped his arms around his neck and pressed his face against his nose, crying,""Are you ignoring me because you like me?”
The snow-white rain outside shone on their faces through the window bars, forming distinct shadows. Thunder rumbled and rain poured. The 150-Watt light bulb hanging from the ceiling swayed above their heads.
Wang Yu turned the camera and switched to the other side of the two.
Young Master Zhou's face was wet with tears. He tried to do something but retracted his head. In the end, he leaned his head on his shoulder.
Wang Jun revealed his face. He still had a wooden expression, but his eyes had already melted by her passion.
He was afraid of this girl's love for him, and he was confused about his love for her…
"Good!" Lou Ye shouted.
Young Master Zhou was still hugging him tightly and crying his heart out.
Wang Jun hugged her too. It was his first time acting in such a scene, so he was not as excited as he had imagined. Instead, he was unusually calm. After a while, he heard her cries become softer. He rubbed her hair and gently pushed her away.
Young Master Zhou was sobbing. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he blushed and shifted his attention unnaturally,""Director, how was my acting?"
Lou Ye gave her a thumbs up and praised,"Little Zhou, you're a natural actress!"”
Then, he added to Wang Jun,"Gentleman, you too."”
Wang Jun was speechless.
