Chapter 46: Going Home During Chinese New Year
"It's finished?"
Li Binbin was surprised when Li Tang dragged his suitcase and knocked on the door of his ex-girlfriend's house.
Today is December 20th, and Li Tang completed the film half a month earlier than the original schedule.
"Well, I finished filming the last scene tonight and it was finished."
Li Tang changed his shoes and sat comfortably on the sofa.
"Then you won't call in advance, I'll go over and pick you up!"
"Forget it, there are many reporters on the crew, so you can avoid being photographed and troublesome." Li Tang shook his head.
After "Return of the Pearl" became popular, it not only attracted countless movie fans, but also many media. There are often reporters waiting on the crew, and even strange faces like him have been stopped by reporters several times.
Li Binbin opened his suitcase and was packing it up. His movements suddenly stopped, but then he quickly packed it up. He naturally skipped the topic just now and asked, "Are you hungry, what do you want to eat?"
“What’s in the house?”
Because he had to film at night, he didn't eat much for dinner, so he was really a little hungry now.
"Dumplings and noodles, or I'll stir-fry two dishes and drink a cup?"
"Get a drink."
Li Tang was a little moved and finished the filming, as if he had taken off a load. He was feeling physically and mentally exhausted, and drinking some wine was enough to relieve his fatigue.
"You go and take out the bag of shrimp in the refrigerator and soak it in water to thaw it."
Li Binbin picked up a pile of dirty clothes and walked into the bathroom.
"oh."
Li Tang responded lazily.
As soon as he lifted his butt, he saw a printed manuscript on the coffee table with four big words "Going Home for the New Year", which was obviously a script, but in a line of small words next to the four big words, he saw "Yu Hua"
This name attracted his attention at once.
Yu Hua's book, the original memory told him that most of them had never seen it, but because of the movie "Living" adapted from Hua's work, it was deeply impressed by the original memory. It was once a teaching film for Shanghai Theatre.
twice.
Li Tang picked it up and looked at it. He couldn't find the director's name. In addition to Yu Hua's name, there were two other names in the screenwriter's column, but they were all very strange and I haven't heard of it.
But he was a little unsure whether this "Yu Hua" was really the "Yu Hua" who wrote "Living", so he opened it and wanted to see what it was written.
At the beginning, it was written about a reorganized family. The parents each had a daughter. The two daughters didn't like each other and the family relationship was very tense. Then a fierce conflict broke out over the incident of losing five dollars at home. The eldest daughter
He accidentally beat his little daughter to death.
Seeing this, Li Tang couldn't help but gasp. At the beginning of just one short time, the dramatic conflict was very big. First, it was a conflict between family conflicts, and then it developed into a conflict between killing people and tearing apart a family.
At this time, Li Binbin walked out of the bathroom and saw Li Tang still sitting on the sofa, and asked, "Have you taken out the shrimps and soaked them?"
"Ouch!"
This distraction has forgotten this matter.
Li Tang quickly stood up.
"Forget it, forget it, I'll do it."
Li Binbin rolled his eyes and walked into the kitchen in a blink of an eye.
The reason why Li Tang broke up with his ex-girlfriend is that he is still inseparable from the fact that he is unforgettable for his first love, one of the big reasons is that his ex-girlfriend is capable.
For example, as soon as he entered the door, no need to say, his ex-girlfriend quickly helped him pack his suitcase, hang up his coat, put clean clothes on, and take out dirty clothes to wash.
He usually cleans the house, cooks, manages finances, and has been taking good care of him for three years. If he hadn't been a professional and dedicated wife, he would be a very good candidate for his wife.
Well, since my ex-girlfriend was going to work, Li Tang sat down and continued to read the script.
The eldest daughter named Tao Lan was taken away by the police, and the story suddenly jumped to 17 years later. Li Tang ran his finger and calculated that the beginning of the story should have happened in the early 80s, and at that time, five yuan was indeed a
Not small numbers.
Seventeen years later on the morning of New Year's Eve, Tao Lan, who was serving 17 years in prison, was allowed to go home for the New Year because of her good performance. This was her first time going home, and she would be released from prison in another year.
.
A female policeman in the prison was also very happy today because this was the first time she had the opportunity to celebrate the New Year with her family after being a prison guard for three years.
At the station, many prisoners' families were waiting here when they received notices from the prison. Only Taolan was not answered. She felt that her family might not welcome her. It happened that the female policeman passed by, so she decided to send Taolan home first and then back.
My own home.
The middle story tells the story of the female policeman and Tao Lan's trip home. Tao Lan, who had been in prison for seventeen years, was completely unacceptable to the current urban feeling, and the female policeman played an important role in her journey home.
During their short journey home, they felt a long indifference. This indifference exists in the barriers between their family members and next to the demolished ruins. When the family members have nowhere to find them, that kind
The feeling of helplessness climbed into the hearts of the two young women, even though they were policemen and prisoners, which was destined not to be a pleasant return.
"Hey, stop watching, eat!"
The script has not been finished yet, and my ex-girlfriend has already cooked the dishes.
A plate of freshly cut red sausage, cold cucumbers, fried shrimps, and a pot of five-year-old Huadiao.
Last time when filming Xiao Jian's appearance, Li Tang thought Xiao Jian's line "Jin Shao is good" was very stylish. On a whim, he bought a box of carvings and put them at his ex-girlfriend's house. Every time he came over, he would be fine.
Have some drinks.
Drinking warm rice wine into his stomach was warm, but it was difficult to relieve his chills - the story in the script was too cold.
"Hey, how about that script?"
My ex-girlfriend accompanied him to drink something, but he just picked cucumbers to eat.
"I haven't finished watching it yet."
Li Tang shook his head, he couldn't say it well, or was unwilling to say it.
From the bottom of his heart, he didn't like this script at all. It was too cold, too heavy, too cruel.
It is also a marginal theme. Lou Ye's "Suzhou River" has at least love and at least beautiful things, but he doesn't see any hope in this script. He even regrets reading this script, and he is disgusted.
It's like chewing the shrimps in their mouths.
"What are they asking you to play, Tao Lan?" Li Tang asked hesitated.
"No, I'm playing a female policeman."
Li Binbin hesitated for a moment and said, "If it were to play Tao Lan, I might take on this drama."
"Hey, don't you want to answer?" Li Tang was stunned.
Although he doesn't like this script, he cannot deny that it is a good script, with female themes, fierce drama conflicts, and profound social problems exposed. For actors, this kind of script is hard to come by.
Li Binbin shook his head and said distressedly: "The schedule is wrong. If I take on this scene, I will report to the crew soon. I will also go to the prison to experience life for a while, and then I will continue to film until the end of February next year.
No, I can’t even go home during the New Year. This year, my parents, and Xiuxiu, have agreed to go back to my hometown for the New Year this year..."
She said a lot of things and added another sentence when she was about to finish: "What's more, there's not much money!"
Li Tang understood it clearly, but in the final analysis, the money was not in place.
Although he felt a little regretful, he didn't want to say much and asked casually: "Who is the director of this drama?"
"Zhang Yuan!"
"who?"
"Zhang Yuan, it's the director who was banned five years ago. He just lifted the ban this year."
Chapter completed!
