Chapter 270 The Last Scene
Yang Ye’s letter to Zhu Lin was very simple, just two pieces of paper.
The first piece of paper is the main text, only a few dozen words.
Hello Ms. Zhu Lin!
I overheard that your new poems are very good, so I took the liberty to write to you.
In Hong Kong, people write for business, and no one is willing to use literature to explore the soul.
I sometimes write poems, but no one communicates with them, which makes me feel lonely.
The following is a poem I wrote when I was filming a movie in the Mainland. I wonder if you can discuss it with me after reading it?
Hope for recovery!
The second piece of paper is a poem.
It was the song "A Blossoming Tree" that Yang Ye used to coax Lin Qingxia.
"How can I let you meet me at my most beautiful moment? For this, I have been praying to the Buddha for five hundred years. I prayed for it to let us have a mortal relationship, and the Buddha turned me into a tree. Tree..."
Zhu Lin is a young and artistic woman, much more artistic than Lin Qingxia.
Lin Qingxia likes to read Qiong Yao's novels, and she burst into tears after reading them, feeling all kinds of sentimental.
Zhu Lin likes to read world famous books. After reading them, she starts to sit in a daze and think about life in various ways.
Of course, one of the reasons for this is that Zhu Lin is in an environment where there are only literary classics to read.
No matter what the reason, she has read a large number of Chinese and foreign classics, and some have read various translations.
If you were an ordinary person and wrote a letter to a beautiful woman, you would also want to talk about literature and poetry with her.
The beauty will most likely ignore her and call her crazy.
But the person who wrote the letter is a major international director, so that’s different.
Not only was Zhu Lin not disgusted, she even felt flattered, especially after seeing the song "A Blossoming Tree" in the appendix to the letter.
Yang Ye did not directly say that he wrote this poem for Zhu Lin.
Rather, it is said that he wrote this after having an enlightenment while filming a movie in the Mainland.
This routine is very clever. If you write her a love poem directly from the beginning, the result will be counterproductive.
This poem has beautiful words and harmonious rhyme. Zhu Lin fell in love with it immediately after reading it.
The best thing is that this poem is written from a girl's perspective, depicting a girl's deep and graceful heart and expressing her beautiful expectations for love.
It is very common for men to write poems from a female perspective. Poems about women's grievances are even an important theme in ancient poetry. Great poets such as Bai Juyi and Wang Changling are all masters of this art.
So a senior literary youth like Zhu Lin will not feel any sense of violation when reading this poem. Instead, she feels that Yang Ye has a delicate mind and describes a young girl's emotions in a touching way.
She held this little poem in her hands and read it back and forth many times. The more she read, the more she liked it, and she memorized it without even realizing it.
After dinner, Zhu Lin sat at the desk in the dormitory and began to reply to Yang Ye.
Hello Mr. Yang Ye!
I was surprised to receive your letter suddenly.
Why did you write to me?
I think maybe people like you who live in an international metropolis suddenly have some beautiful fantasies when they suddenly see a very simple-looking girl in a small southwestern town.
Unfortunately, I may not be as beautiful as you imagined. I am just an ordinary girl with no talent.
I like to write poetry very much, but I am not very good at it. Reading your poem makes me even more ashamed.
I think your poem is sincere and shocking.
While reading, I kept thinking, why compare it to a tree?
I thought about it for a long time and suddenly thought,
Maybe
It's because the tree can't move and can't catch up
I can only face it helplessly
The departure of my lover
Thinking of this, I suddenly felt very sad.
I am not a literary critic. I don’t know how to comment on a poem. I just think it is beautiful and very touching when I read it.
Mr. Yang, I want to tell you that I like this poem very much. It has a touch of sadness and is particularly touching.
I am eager to read more of your works. After receiving my letter, I hope you can send it to me.
Zhu Lin
May 20th.
Also, attached to the letter is a short poem written by me, which I hope can get your advice.
......
In 1930, Japan conquered the Taiwanese aborigines and established towns in the Wushe area.
Educational centers, medical clinics, grocery stores, post offices, hotels, and dormitories were built one after another.
On the surface, the aboriginal people in the entire Wushe area have been civilized by Japan.
Aboriginal men began logging and mining for the Japanese, and the resources on the island were continuously shipped to Japan.
Aboriginal women worked as domestic helpers and nannies in Japanese homes.
They all became cheap labor for the Japanese, working as cattle and horses for the Japanese. They also suffered discrimination and were often beaten and scolded.
Children of aboriginal people go to schools built by the Japanese to learn Japanese and learn Japanese living habits.
The first group of children to receive Japanese education have grown up, they have changed their Japanese names, and their words and deeds have become no different from Japanese.
The most famous one is called Ichiro Hanagang.
He became a policeman and put on a uniform. When the natives saw him, they had to call him "sir."
Although he is the lowest among the police, his salary is only half of that of the Japanese police.
The rainy season is coming, and the sky in Taiwan has turned dark gray.
At Mahpo Station, Mona Ludo sat at the door, smoking a pipe and looking boredly at the cold rain outside.
Suddenly, he found a little boy in a house not far away, just like him, sitting bored at the door and smoking a pipe.
Mona waved to him.
The little boy ran over quickly and shouted: "Boss!"
Mona scooped him a glass of wine from the wine jar and asked: "Bavan, why didn't you go to school today? ?”
Bawan said: “I’m sick.”
“Sick, how could you be sick? Did the teacher hit you?”
Bawan drank the wine in the glass in one gulp and said: "I beat a Japanese child, but the Japanese child cried. The teacher said I bullied him and beat me... Can I have another drink?"< br>
Mona waved his hand, and Bawan scooped up another glass of wine and continued: "On the day of the sports meeting, I will take first place and let those Japanese children cry and watch me receive the award... Boss, I hate Japan. People.”
Bavan wanted to drink more, but Mona snatched the cup away.
Bawan looked up, passing the scar on Mo Na's face, looking at his cold eyes, and suddenly asked: "Boss Mo Na, my grandfather said you were a hero when you were young." Mo Na He sneered and said: "Your grandfather said that I was a hero when I was young? Does he know that I am still a hero now?"
Mona stood up and walked into the cold rain.
Bawan wanted to catch up, but fell to the ground. It turned out that Mona's wine was too strong, so he was not allowed to drink the third glass.
Bawan stood up and shouted: "Boss Mona, can you take me hunting next time?"
Mona slowly turned around: "Bawan, you Where is the hunting ground?”
……
"OK!"
Ding Shanxi shouted, and smiled at Yang Ye: "Ou Di is a good boy, his performance is very smart, and his lines are memorized very well."
Yang Ye smiled and said: "When Director Li Xing was filming "A Boat in the Ocean", he spent a long time searching throughout the province before finding him in a Chinese medicine shop in Sanchong City. But don't praise him, Director Li said, This kid is good at everything, but he is easy to drift. If you praise him, he will lose his mind."
Ding Shanxi touched Oudi's head and said, "When the rain stops, I will shoot you to kill him. For a play, you have to memorize the lines quickly, figure out the script, and be mentally prepared.”
Oudi said: “Do you need to be mentally prepared for this?”
Ding Shanxi said: "Of course, you are a child, but you want to kill people. You have to think about how to show that cruelty."
Ou Di is only twelve years old, he doesn't understand very well, but He still said: "Yes, director, I will think about it carefully."
Yang Ye said to Ding Shanxi: "After filming the school sports meeting, our movie will be finished!"
Ding Shanxi said: "I have been filming movies for decades, and I have never experienced anything so difficult. Almost every actor has been injured. Mr. Yang, you have been injured several times."
Yang Ye doesn't care. Authentic: "I am an action actor, so injuries are common. But fortunately, I have never been seriously injured, so this journey has been smooth."
...
The school sports meeting is the climax of the film. Mona led three hundred warriors and slaughtered all the Japanese gathered in the school, regardless of gender or age.
But it is also the most difficult scene to shoot, with more than a thousand people participating, and the scheduling and coordination work here is extremely complicated.
Because the scene is very large, in order to make the scene full of space under a wide-angle lens, it is necessary to design the scene in advance and place the extras at corresponding points.
The extras are not just moving props, they are also part of the picture presentation, involving the artistic expression of the film.
Moreover, it is not only necessary to pursue the final shooting effect, but also the on-site scheduling must be orderly. Otherwise, if so many people gather together, safety accidents may easily occur.
If a stampede occurs, the consequences will be disastrous.
In order to film this scene, Yang Ye used four director teams and eight machines to shoot, and each team was only responsible for its own part.
After each group performs, they are divided into groups.
The tribesmen stand together, the Han people stand together, the Japanese stand together, the children stand together...
After grouping, place the people in each group at the corresponding points.
Then each member of the director team will explain to the group performers at each point, telling them what needs to be done and how to do it.
Strive to ensure the orderly shooting of the film.
……
The environment of the school battle is cloudy and foggy.
The fog is easy to say, you can smoke by yourself, but on cloudy days you can only wait.
Due to weather conditions, shooting was intermittent.
Fortunately it is the rainy season and there are many clouds in the sky.
When there are clouds blocking the sun, it will become cloudy. At this time, you have to race against time to shoot.
In order to accurately grasp the shooting time, the lighting engineer lay directly on the ground and used professional tools to observe the weather in the sky.
"The altitude is 7500 feet, the flow speed is... 46 kilometers, and you can shoot in about twenty minutes."
"OK, you can shoot in twenty minutes, everyone is ready. Children, stop playing in the sand!"< br>
Yang Ye shouted, the kid was having a great time, so Yang Ye had no choice but to use the beauty trap.
"Yin Yin, do me a favor, go and communicate with those children."
Hu Yinmeng nodded, walked over and called together the group of primary school students who were pretending to be primary school students. Said in a boring Taiwanese accent:
"When the performance starts later, shout 'Return to the starting position'. Everyone should go to the position that I told you before, okay?"
The primary school students immediately said in unison: "Okay!"
"It's so roaring, and then when it's time to be quiet, no one can talk, okay?"
"Okay!"
"It's good to roar, please wait a moment and no one will speak. If you behave well, we will ask you to stand still.”
"Okay!"
This time the voice was softer, and only one child said yes.
"Oh, only one is good? Are there others?"
"No!" said a child. Damn, you know how to tease girls at such a young age.
“Don’t yell? Why don’t you behave a little better?”
"Yes!"
......
Hu Yinmeng quickly taught a group of children to be obedient and came back with a happy face.
Yang Ye was convinced. As expected, both adults and children loved the beautiful sister.
“Those behind, hurry up.”
"Line up, it's time to raise the flag."
"Hurry up!"
"Come and get ready, look ahead, Action."
A group of aboriginals drew their swords and charged Entering the playground of a primary school, people of all ages and genders started to attack anyone they saw, and the scene suddenly fell into chaos...
