272. Chapter 271 "Sweetness" (Part 2)


Chapter 271 "Sweet Honey" (Part 2)

Iguo had no expectations for the plot of Xu Kong's movie.

No way, this is indeed a bit strange.

Xu Kong’s first film did not follow a purely commercial film model.

Although commercial films are of different types and their plots have their own characteristics, the most important thing is that the plot must not touch some so-called minefields.

For example, in romance movies, even if there are emotional entanglements, the core characters of the hero and heroine will not be placed in a category that is not in line with the cognition of ordinary audiences.

Only some literary films do this.

But on the other hand, this "Sweet Honey" is not like a literary film in the traditional sense.

Because in pursuit of so-called art, most literary films, especially in terms of narrative structure, would like to have all kinds of twists and turns, streams of consciousness, and confusing timelines, for fear that the audience will understand them.

The structure of Xu Kong’s film so far is still quite regular.

Generally speaking, only commercial films would choose such a "normal" narrative mode.

The introduction is clear and there will be no situation where the audience cannot understand the plot.

......

Although Yiguo had many thoughts in his heart.

But at this time, I am also looking forward to what the subsequent plot will be.

After Li Qiao went bankrupt, she had no choice but to work as a massage girl.

At this time, the movie has reached the middle part, and Guan Hua, as the best actor, appears.

Furthermore, it is a character that subverts the audience's perception. Guan Hua actually plays Brother Bao, a gangster with tattoos all over his body.

At the same time, when he met Li Qiao, he said a very dirty word.

"Take a knife and cut your ass open..."

Of course, Li Qiao was very disgusted by this, and quickly stopped what he was doing, and offered to help the other party find someone else to press the button.

However, Li Qiao's attitude caught Brother Bao's attention.

Soon, he stopped saying these things, and instead praised the other party for being so brave.

No one dared to talk to him like this for many years.

Li Qiao replied calmly:

"I'm not afraid of anything, I'm only afraid of mice."

......

The encounter between Brother Bao and Li Qiao was just an episode.

But at this time, her relationship with Li Xiaojun was only hit by the stock market on one side.

What really made Li Qiao sober was when the other party went shopping with him and bought a bracelet as a gift.

But when I saw the same bracelet from Li Xiaojun, I bought two.

One for myself and one for the unmasked Xiaoting.

Li Qiao has completely figured it out.

This is clearly a reminder to her that entering into such a love that is destined to be fruitless is too extravagant for both of them.

There was a lot of traffic behind him, Li Xiaojun lowered his head, and Li Qiao said:

"Comrade Li Xiaojun."

"The purpose of my coming to Hong Kong City is not you, and the purpose of your coming to Hong Kong City is not me..."

...

Igo I was surprised by Shang Yuxin's performance in this movie.

Yes, in this movie, although Li Xiaojun played by Xu Kong is also worth talking about.

But in comparison, the most outstanding one is the heroine Li Qiao played by Shang Yuxin.

Compared to some movie roles played by the other party in the past.

This time it can be described as completely transformed.

It’s no longer about the quality of acting.

The biggest feeling is that Shang Yuxin and Li Qiao in the movie feel like they have merged into one.

Although the movie is not over yet, it is foreseeable that the characters in this movie will most likely become Shang Yuxin's new masterpiece in the future.

......

At the same time, after this conversation between Li Xiaojun and Li Qiao, the two became completely alienated.

It is worth mentioning that Brother Bao came to Li Qiao's massage parlor again.

But this time, the last time I heard Li Qiao say he was only afraid of mice, he actually had a mouse tattooed on his back, but it was a cartoon. Not only did it not look scary, but And kind of cute.

Time flies so fast, and it's already a few years later.

Li Qiao and Li Xiaojun met again at Li Xiaojun's wedding.

After working as a chef in Hong Kong City for so many years, he had established a firm foothold, so he took his fiancée Xiao Tingjie back to Hong Kong City to get married.

At this time, Li Qiao had completely lost her original look of a working girl. She was covered in jewels and she looked like a rich wife.

When the two met again, Li Xiaojun automatically blocked the surrounding environment and things, and subconsciously walked straight towards each other.

Brother Bao also arrived at the scene. As a veteran in love, he naturally noticed within a few minutes that the two had an old relationship in the past.

So when the four of them took a group photo, except for Xiaoting, the other three were obviously a little uncomfortable.

......

The next plot can almost be said to be embarrassing at every turn.

Li Qiao seems to have become good friends with Xiaoting, but in fact only she and the audience know that she is doing this because she still cannot forget Li Xiaojun and wants to know indirectly through Xiaoting Some news and current situation of the other party.

With so many years of film reading experience, Yiguo clearly knows that this is obviously paving the way for subsequent changes.

These two people obviously have an old relationship.

Sure enough, in the next scene, Li Qiao and Li Xiaojun got the chance to be alone again.

Li Qiao was driving, and Li Xiaojun was sitting in the passenger seat.

Neither of them spoke, but at this moment the scene cut to the front, and a cartoon mouse pendant hung on the rearview mirror between them.

This is the one tattooed on Brother Bao’s back before.

Yi Guo discovered this very keenly. This shot is quite particular. It almost clearly symbolizes the relationship between Li Qiao and Li Xiaojun.

Then a very contemporary song sounded.

It has appeared before. This seems to be a fictional famous singer from the last century in the film.

Although the song is obviously newly written, it has the style and characteristics of that era. He is also the singer of the song "Sweet Honey" in the movie's title.

Yiguo could probably guess which singer it was in the corresponding reality.

But then, the famous singer, whose face was blurred in the blur, appeared on the streets of Hong Kong City.

Li Xiaojun got out of the car excitedly and asked the other party to sign the back of his jacket.

He is not a fan of the singer. It can be said that he wanted the autograph for Li Qiao.

Just when he walked back to the car, Li Qiao said with a tired look that he was going to buy something and asked him to go home by himself.

Li Xiaojun obviously looked disappointed, but he still walked away lonely, still carrying the singer's signature behind him.

......

Yiguo felt that his emotions were lifted, but suddenly fell down.

Not only her, but many of the audience at the scene were actually looking forward to the tacit understanding and balance between the two being broken.

But at this moment, the background BGM in the movie was still playing.

Li Qiao, who was in the driver's seat, leaned on the steering wheel, stared at the other person's back, and slowly lowered his head.

"Beep!"

Suddenly, a horn sounded.

The singing in the background suddenly stopped.

This also shocked Li Qiao.

But it stopped Li Xiaojun, who was gradually walking away.

Then he began to look back slowly.

The two looked at each other for a long time, and Li Xiaojun walked towards Li Qiao in the car.

Loading the car window, the two kissed each other.

... Yiguo's mood was a little complicated at this time.

Although he probably guessed it.

But at this time, the two of them held it in for a long time, and finally surrendered.

When the two first came to Hong Kong City, they were just workers at the lowest level.

Now they have achieved their original ideal of getting ahead, but when it comes to relationships, they are still a complete failure.

The two decided to stay together no matter what.

Li Qiao also thought it through, so he took Li Xiaojun with him and planned to explain it to Brother Bao.

I just didn’t expect that things still didn’t go so smoothly.

At the door of their home, the two met the police, who said that Brother Bao had run away.

If Li Qiao is willing to be a tainted witness, I promise that she will be fine. I hope she can cooperate with the investigation.

Back home, Li Qiao found that Brother Bao had indeed left, without even taking his gold chain.

Li Qiao found Brother Bao’s younger brother and expressed that he wanted to see him.

The purpose is naturally to make it clear to the other party.

They made an appointment to meet at the pier. Li Qiao took a boat out to sea, while Li Xiaojun stood on the shore with an umbrella and waited for her.

……

Brother Bao and Li Qiao are not married. Strictly speaking, it is just a contract, and she is just Brother Bao's lover.

But when he actually met the person, he found that the once high-spirited Brother Bao had become the troubled person he was now, and Li Qiao found it difficult to speak.

Especially Brother Bao said:

"Silly girl, listen to me, go home immediately and take a hot bath."

"Get up tomorrow morning, full There are men on the street, and they are all better than Brother Bao.”

On the other side, Li Xiaojun didn't know what was going on on the ship, but Li Qiao didn't come back that night.

At the same time, frequent changes occurred around Li Xiaojun, including the death of his aunt and the departure of his foreign friend.

Let him no longer care about Hong Kong City.

So after leaving a letter to Xiaoting, he went abroad to join the chef brother who had introduced him to the industry.

……

Yiguo's heart was indeed full of mixed feelings at this moment.

In this movie, it can be said that neither the male or female protagonist is a good person with perfect morals in the traditional sense.

But again, the final result is inevitably disappointing.

In the blink of an eye, it was already three years later.

At this time abroad, Li Xiaojun has settled down. In addition to working as a chef on weekdays, he also goes out to ride bicycles like he used to do when he has time.

On the other side, Brother Bao and Li Qiao also came to this city.

It can be seen that the life of the two of them is not easy.

Brother Bao plans to buy a house with some of the remaining money and simply settle down here.

At this time, Li Qiao no longer had the original idea of ​​getting ahead, and only wanted to live an ordinary life.

But things often don’t go as expected.

When Li Qiao went to do laundry and get some clothes, Brother Bao who was waiting for him outside was robbed by some black gangsters outside.

After all, he was once the eldest brother, so he still has a temper.

During the dispute, gunshots suddenly rang out and the scene dispersed.

When Li Qiao came out, Brother Bao was already lying on the ground in a pool of blood.

……

The police took Li Qiao to the hospital to identify the body.

At this time, Li Qiao said: Please turn the deceased over.

It seemed like a bullet hit his head. His flesh and blood were so bloody that it was hard to see clearly.

At this time, Yiguo seemed to have thought of something. It was the foreshadowing that Brother Bao had tattooed on his back specifically for Li Qiao.

A close-up of Li Qiao's face appeared on the big screen.

She suddenly smiled, seemingly because she saw the familiar cartoon mouse.

But then suddenly the tears began to flow out uncontrollably.

The uncontrollable sadness seems to have accumulated for a long time and suddenly burst.

......

Yiguo still didn't react. If it weren't for being in the theater, she really wanted to rewatch the scene just now several times.

How can a person laugh when he is dead?

This is everyone’s subconscious idea.

But in the plot, the cartoon mouse behind Brother Leopard and what happened to Li Qiao at this time made the performance seem to suddenly come to life.

This crying scene was really well done.

Iguo felt that Shang Yuxin deserved the honor of a best actress this year just for this crying scene.

Not to mention the other party's performance in this movie, if you give an evaluation until the end of the movie, it will be completely at the level of a god.

......

Everyone knows the direction of the next movie is coming to the end.

During this period, Li Qiao once saw the familiar figure riding a bicycle, but after chasing him for a long time, he still couldn't catch him.

A few years later, Li Qiao found a job as a tour guide.

From time to time, I would also make overseas phone calls to my family.

It’s just that she didn’t understand what she had gained after wandering alone for nearly ten years.

One day, Li Qiao went to a travel agency and got a ticket to return home.

When I was going out, I suddenly heard a death notice coming from the TV.

That's the famous singer who appears throughout the entire movie.

After coming out of the travel agency, Li Qiao was completely devastated. He felt that part of his body had died along with the singer he once liked.

She wandered the streets aimlessly.

Finally, we stopped in front of a TV window displaying news.

A familiar figure also came over at this time, watching the news about the death of the legendary singer on TV.

At this time, Li Qiao seemed to feel something and turned her head.

The same goes for Li Xiaojun on the other side.

The last BGM sounded in the movie.

“Sweet, your smile is so sweet”

“It’s like your smile is blooming in the spring breeze...”

……

In ten years of wasted time, I have experienced so many things.

The hero and heroine met magically on the streets of a foreign country.

Li Qiao suddenly smiled.

The last shot is fixed on the two people looking at each other and smiling in front of the window.

But the movie isn't quite over yet.

Once again, I was brought back to the train in the black and white picture at the beginning of the movie.

The person who slept with Li Xiaojun back to back was actually Li Qiao, who had just arrived in Hong Kong City.

When the two got off the car, one turned to the left and the other to the right.

It seemed that the fate of the two of them had been decided as early as that time.

After so many years, meeting on the streets of a foreign country, they seemed to have returned to the starting point again.
