Chapter 94 Understanding of Film
This is a very beautiful place.
Even Chu Qing, who came from the countryside, always felt that this village was very beautiful.
The film is about to start filming around April. It is now early March. Chu Qing and his group came to the village early, not just to adapt to the life in the village. Only after adapting to the life in the village can the original works be truly displayed.
After all, Chu Qing and some of the supporting actors in the crew are Han people. If Han people want to play Miao people well, it will not work for a while. A month is too short to some extent. In order to play a role well, some actors stayed in the script role for three or four years in the place where the script was played, integrating themselves into that world as a whole, and even some subtle habits are like natives...
Of course, Roda is actually not lacking in experience in living in Qianzhou.
After all, Luo Da's father Luo Yuncheng had been in Qianzhou for a long time, and Luo Da lived in Qianzhou before he was ten years old.
The birth of Naihe Mountain is closely related to Roda's life since childhood.
This village is called Qingshui Village.
Qingshui Village is not big, with about one white and more than one family, and it is surrounded by water, only more than thirty miles away from Miao Village.
Qingshui Village has been built for more than a hundred years. About half of the ancestors of the residents were Han people who fled at that time, while the other half were orthodox Miao people.
After more than a hundred years of baptism, the village has formed its unique culture, which not only maintains some traditions of the Han people and some Miao customs, but Luo Da grew up in this place since childhood.
Roda is very familiar with this village.
"Qingzi, the Meng Xiaowu you are going to play is a young Miao people. You have a childhood sweetheart since you were young. You secretly vowed to marry her as your wife since you were young, but as time passed, she began to no longer be satisfied with the lives of her ancestors. Finally, she left the village one night and walked towards the big city. From then on, you never came back. And you still waited for the girl under the big tree at the east end of the village after finishing your work every day. Until college student Wang Zhenzhen got lost due to travel, you met..." After settling down on Chu Qing's residence, Fatty Luo pointed to the crooked tree at the east end of the village, and began to explain the background to Chu Qing while familiarizing with the situation in the village.
"Yeah, yes, a very infatuated person." Chu Qing stopped and looked at the crooked tree and nodded.
"Have you read the novel?" Roda asked.
"I've seen it." Chu Qing nodded. When he decided to play the role of Meng Xiaowu well, he went to read "Naihe Mountain" written by Luo Da. The original novel "Naihe Mountain" Luo Da used a writing style of ink painting to write the emotions of the male protagonist Meng Xiaowu. This is what Chu Qing admired Luo Da very much.
Other novels will write about the male protagonist's psychological activities, such as what he is thinking and what he wants to do, and everything he wants to do is written in words, but the writing style of Naiheshan is different. For example, the male protagonist is very happy, and the novel will describe a scene such as grass growing and warbler flying in spring in March. If the male protagonist is unhappy, he will describe the clouds and heavy rain that are about to pour down. Of course, Luo Da's writing skills are good, and these descriptions are very suitable for connecting them...
Rather than saying that this book "Naiheshan" is a novel, it is better to say that this book is an expansion of a movie script, and each description is just right, which is very accurate.
Perhaps, from the beginning, Roda never wanted to write such a novel but make a movie?
That's what Chu Qing thought after reading the novel.
"Did you see something?"
"Ambition." Chu Qing hesitated for a while, then suddenly said to Roda.
"Why do you say that?" Luo Da stared at Chu Qing tightly for a long time, as if he knew Chu Qing on the first day.
He originally thought Chu Qing would answer the narrative style of the novel, what he wanted to express, what deep connotations he wanted to convey, but even if he broke his head, he would never have thought Chu Qing would answer like this.
At this moment, Roda suddenly felt as if he had found a confidant.
After he finished writing this novel and handed it to the publisher, the novel was successfully published and launched, and the market response was pretty good, he once asked some readers publicly what they saw from this novel.
Many people say that Luo Da is preparing to enter the novel world, preparing to give up the directorial path paved by his father Luo Yuncheng and directly take another literary and artistic path, while more people are in the comments about the emotions and endless sighs...
However, no one really saw the true meaning of this book.
Beyond!
He is actually an ambitious person.
He was not satisfied with the protection of Luo Yuncheng, he wanted to surpass his father Luo Yuncheng!
Moreover, this movie is a declaration of war between him and his father!
"Whether it is the plot, the description style, and even the central idea of the connotation, it follows the mainstream thought, and there are almost all ages. The elderly read a kind of sentiment, the young read a kind of love story, and the children read a kind of witchcraft myth... This novel cannot be called a pure novel, or it is said that he created a novel for the first time for the movie, so I saw an ambition between the lines. If this movie was filmed according to the description in the novel, it would definitely be a classic of art films!" Chu Qing smiled after saying this.
"I suddenly feel that you are very much like a novelist. Others only read the outside, but you have seen all the internal thoughts and internal organs..." Luo Da felt that Chu Qing was like a monster. She usually looked silly and honest, but once she became serious, she seemed to have become a different person...
"What do you think of Meng Xiaowu?"
"Meng Xiaowu was just a knife that broke through the entire Naihe Mountain."
"knife?"
"Well, he is honest, honest and obedient, but he is not addicted to the taboos mentioned by the old man. He is very humble, but in the end he doesn't even want to save Wang Zhenzhen. This is a knife to break through the taboos, so I think you have ambition! I searched your information and knew that your father is a very powerful director. This movie is wrong. You were born to surpass him from the beginning, right?" After Chu Qing finished speaking, he looked up at the sky and breathed deeply.
That's how he understands it.
The air in Qianzhou is really nice and fresh.
The mountains in the distance are also beautiful, with green mountains and clear waters. In fact, it is also very good to have a vacation here in the future.
"I originally wanted to explain my understanding of the role and the plot to you, but now it seems that you don't need me to explain it at all. You have completely understood the role of Meng Xiaowu. If your acting skills are fine, then I believe this movie will become your famous work, and the classics are not sure." Luo Da smiled and said, "Maybe, you will win the Best Newcomer Award for this part of the movie."
"The Best Newcomer Award is very good?" Chu Qing asked suddenly.
"Yeah, very good. Among the tens of millions of actors, there is only one Best Newcomer Award. Do you think it's OK?"
"Is there a bonus?" Chu Qing suddenly became interested, feeling that after saying so much with Luo Da, he finally talked about the topic.
“There are, but not many, the important thing is that there are trophys.”
"Pure gold?"
“Gilded…”
"Oh." Chu Qing felt a little disappointed when he heard the word gilding.
Gilded, not worth it.
Therefore, for Chu Qing, the Best Newcomer Award cannot be exchanged for the most direct money, but it is just a decoration.
Luo Da was speechless when he saw Chu Qing's expression...
"You don't know what the Best Newcomer Award means to you?"
"I don't know very much." Chu Qing shook his head.
"Do you have no pursuit? For example, winning awards, becoming a movie star, or becoming a world-renowned star?"
"No..." Chu Qing shook his head.
He had no pursuit of these things. He had never even thought about them.
“…”
Roda suddenly had a premonition.
Even if there is a trophy for the best actor in the future, Chu Qing will probably not show too excited expressions.
