Can't fly

Chapter 9 5 years ago

It was a complete surprise to the 19-year-old Fang Fei to be selected as the leading actor in "Absurd Stories".

Because of his mother's support, he was admitted to the Communication University of his first choice, specializing in broadcasting and hosting.Fang Fei's grandmother said before sending him to college that she hoped to see him as the anchor of a news program on a TV station in her hometown one day.

Coming to Pingjing was no small challenge for this young man from Yeyang, a small city.

Rising prices, complicated traffic, countless scenic spots, and the intertwining of ancient and modern Pingjing made him dizzy.After being dazzled for a short time, Fang Fei first calmed down, doing odd jobs to make money in his spare time, and his temporary wish is to bring some decent gifts to his parents when he goes home during the Spring Festival.

It was at this time that he met Xia Huai, a senior at the same school who was two years older than him.

Xia Huai is a celebrity majoring in drama and literature. He is cheerful and enthusiastic.

Fang Fei has a crush on Xia Huai, and before it fully ferments and brews a sweet ambiguity, Xia Huai can't wait to embrace her.Later Fang Fei thought about it carefully, if Xia Huai hadn't taken the initiative, maybe he would have liked each other more, or maybe they wouldn't be together at all.

In the beginning of the relationship, there was always a lot of sweetness. Not long after, someone Xia Huai knew hooked up and asked him to audition for director Chu Yin's new film.

Xia Huai persuaded him to go with her, saying: "You also see the world!"

I don't know if Xia Huai will regret this sentence in a few years.

As one of the top female directors in both sides of the strait, Chu Yin's works are mostly known for combining complex emotional entanglements with social reality. Contrary to her gentle name, her style is very sharp.She likes to use newcomers as protagonists. She has always had a pair of discerning eyes, and she has photographed many newcomers with the most aura.

The tentative title of the script is "Absurd Love", with the theme of "young men and women being gradually swallowed up by big cities".It sounds very dark, but the actual filming is blurred and sensual.

Xia Huai hadn't passed the audition, but Fang Fei followed Xia Huai out to appease his little emotions when he happened to be seen by Chu Yin who came out to breathe.She called Fang Fei to stop, and asked her age, name, and family history as if chatting, and finally made a decision: it was him.

A college student who studied broadcasting became the leading actor in Chu Yin's eyes in a daze.

The shooting time was during the summer vacation of the first year of university. The crew went to the hot and humid Pingzhou. With this trendy city as the background, they first filmed the story of the encounter between the protagonists "A Hui" and "A Peng".

One is a poor student from an old industrial town, and the other is a low-level beautiful girl who has worked hard in the city for many years and has no education but is smart and capable. The fire is cooking oil, and the passion that has been accumulated for many years is suddenly aroused.

Fang Fei's opposite actress is called Shen Can. She is a model and it is her first time acting, but she is obviously calmer than him.

Shen Can's brows and eyes are quite aggressive, but his face is round and short, so that when he laughs and cries, he is cute and cute.They are about the same age, play couples, and have a lot of intimate scenes. Although Fang Fei is wearing clothes, he still can't let go of it - firstly because of his orientation, and secondly because he is really not used to being stared at by many cameras - many things that require boys to take the initiative are Shen Can guides Fang Fei and tells him to "be more courageous".

"You should dedicate your life to art!" Shen Can joked, "As for me, I should make money!"

Fang Fei was amused by her, and he NGed a few times, finally it was not so hard to face.

But Chu Yin still felt that something was wrong, and she couldn't tell. She took a few shots, and finally thought that the relationship between the hero and the heroine was not in place.

At the end of June, the high temperature in Pingzhou was 35 degrees Celsius, the sun was scorching all day long, and the asphalt road was filled with twisted wind.

A few days after entering the group, Fang Fei's skin was tanned red by the scorching sun in Pingzhou, and the color deepened a little.Chu Yin was very satisfied with this, and changed Ah Hui's "hair covering her eyes" and "cowardly and silent" look in the script, and asked Fang Fei to cut her hair short, revealing her eyebrows and eyes, looking at someone innocently like an ignorant puppy, And think that this is the best way to seduce a well-informed widow.

The plot starts out very pure, until Ah Peng is not satisfied with a poor life, through the introduction of his best friend, he secretly combines with the wealthy businessman Boss Wang from Xingdao and becomes his mistress, and gradually loses control.

Ah Hui is kept in the dark, only when his girlfriend's expenses are getting more and more exaggerated, and his self-esteem prevents him from saying stupid things to make Ah Peng "save money so that he can buy a house and get married".He worked many jobs, and was too tired to notice that Ah Peng would disappear for a few days in the second half of each month. Even so, he still couldn't afford the ring that Ah Peng liked.

There was a flyer on the bar street that recruited workers to accompany customers to drink. Ah Hui picked it up, walked in, and met Sister Rong, a wealthy woman whose husband had died and came to "have fun" in a neon alley.

At this moment, "Absurd Love" has changed the last two words, and only made "Absurd Stories".

Tianhou Luo Qiaoan played Sister Rong. She was originally a singer. Chu Yin invited her to play this role in a half-joking and half-sincere manner.Lojoan had little confidence in herself, and then somehow agreed again.She is in her thirties, and her glamorous image coincides with the script. The most rare thing is to take a makeup photo with Fang Fei, and the finished film has a sense of CP.

Luo Qiaoan's schedule expired, and she will officially join the group soon, but she often came to visit the group for filming in the early stage.Tianhou is generous, and every time she comes, she must bring gifts for everyone, and Fang Fei is the only one.

"There is a rivalry, let's cultivate feelings!" Luo Qiaoan's manager said with a smile.

Not long after the filming started, Xia Huai came to Pingzhou, saying that she was visiting Fang Fei, but she was actually looking for opportunities to make connections.

Fang Fei didn't know about this, and continued to welcome him dutifully as a boyfriend, but the other party always looked unhappy, stayed in the crew for two days, and when he returned to Pingjing, he sent a text message to Fang Fei, wanting to break up.

Fang Fei didn't know what to do, so he called to ask the reason.

"You have a lot of sisters and sisters, how can you care about me!" Xia Huai said very aggrieved.

The two dated for more than half a year at that time, so Xia Huai chased him first, and Xia Huai took the initiative to make any progress.Fang Fei was caught off guard and was issued a good person card, thinking that he had done something wrong anyway.

After apologizing first, I promised that it would only be filming, so Xia Huai reluctantly agreed to get back together.

Not long after, Fang Fei was asked to break up again.

In a short period of time, Xia Huai's attitude went back and forth, and Fang Fei's state also went up and down.

He has no feelings for girls, and when he plays a love scene, he always thinks of him and Xia Huai falling in love—the role of Ah Peng and Xia Huai are actually similar.The advantage is that with Chu Yin's guidance, Fang Fei behaves very naturally. The disadvantage is that he can't control it at all, and the relationship with Xia Huai has cracks, but the script hasn't reached there yet, so Fang Fei can't get into the play at all.

It is normal for filming to be entangled in filming, but this film has not been smooth from the beginning.

Chu Yin doesn't like to swear. One day, Fang Fei NGed several times in the same scene. She finally thought for a while, and finally said: "I'll give you half a day off, go back and have a good rest. Let's shoot the rooftop scene tomorrow morning."

Not only Fang Fei, but the whole crew were stunned.

The rooftop is the last scene of the play.

After Ah Peng's accidental death, Ah Hui found out that she was pregnant by Mr. Wang, a wealthy businessman in Xingdao. He thought that Mr. Wang and his wife had killed Ah Peng. He came to the door full of anger, but suddenly felt that he had no position.

Being betrayed, and at the same time maintaining a long-term physical relationship with Sister Rong, does Ah Peng know about this?

He never got a chance to ask.

So Ah Hui put away the fruit knife used for revenge, texted Sister Rong saying "don't meet again", ran to the rooftop and drank a whole bottle of Coke, Ah Peng's favorite drink.

Empty by accident, the baggy white vest and skin stained by the sugar-colored drink.

Next, according to the script, Ah Hui threw the bottle aside, supported himself with both hands, and jumped off the tall building of Mr. Wang's company.

Although Chu Yin didn't know that he was tortured by repeated love breakups to describe him as haggard, she only thought that Fang Fei was lost at this time, and he should be able to act out the feeling of despair.Instead of continuing to hit the wall, let him try to see if he can make this important scene well.

Originally filming in the company's set, the schedule was ready before sunrise.

After the summer solstice, the day is the longest in a year, and it takes time to shoot, which places extremely high demands on actors.

Fang Fei was ordered to go to bed early the day before, and he planned to go to bed. Xia Huai made a fuss on the phone, and he suffered from insomnia for most of the night.With dark circles under his eyes, he arrived at the set at two o'clock in the morning, sat down and continued to think, and the tension of filming the main scene was reduced a lot.

He is not very good at controlling his emotions, he can get in, but he can't get out.When the directors were all in place, Chu Yin told him that after trying out the positions and angles, all the machines were set up and the filming started, Fang Fei suddenly had an objection.

"I think..." He hesitated for a moment, then insisted, "I don't think it should end like this."

Chu Yin was taken aback: "Huh?"

The sky is already dawning, and all the dispatches have been completed, and they are all waiting for him.

Fang Fei said: "I still think Ah Hui will not commit suicide."

Regarding this paragraph, they discussed it once in the script reading before, and once again when the screenwriter and the crew started filming, but Chu Yin patiently dismissed the first two rounds.She has her own ideas, and she wants to shoot a complete tragedy. The male and female protagonists die one after another, which can be regarded as being forced to die in love to a certain extent.

When Fang Fei mentioned it for the third time, Chu Yin was obviously not happy, and frowned: "Don't waste everyone's time."

"Director, I really don't think he can." Fang Fei argued hard, and he seemed to have figured it out after sitting for two hours, "He loves Ah Peng, and also loves Sister Rong, maybe there is a momentary impulse that allows him to Let go of everything, but he stood on the roof, ready to use his own death to avenge Mr. Wang... This is unreasonable."

Chu Yin looked at the assistant director, the fat middle-aged man curled his lips and signaled Fang Fei: continue talking.

"And at this moment, Ah Hui really has no choice but to die? That's not the case." Fang Fei said seriously, "He is not desperate, he only hates Mr. Wang for killing a woman he loves. But he There is another woman who is rich and has fallen but refuses to admit it, so at this moment, if he wants to dance, he should understand it all at once, and he is reluctant."

Chu Yin's frowning brows relaxed a little: "And then?"

Fang Fei held the prop Coke and pointed at the white belly that was gradually brightening: "The city is awake, but Ah Hui is sinking. He wants to enter the city, commit suicide, and give up—"

"It means he has been 'eaten'."

Slow but firm speech, elongated tail, with a smile, this voice inserted into the conversation, as if breaking some deadlock.

Chu Yin turned her head, and several people moved out of the way one by one.

The man in the shirt and trousers had mid-length hair, which was slightly curly when it was tied up on the back of his head. He walked towards Chu Yin, but looked at Fang Fei through the morning mist that was still dispersing.

Those are a pair of gray-blue eyes that people can't forget.

The first ray of sunlight illuminated him.

The man has facial features that are less obvious of mixed blood, but his eye sockets are deep, his nose bridge is straight, and his skin is not the same white.He looked away, and said to the female director who had been shaken, "Director Chu, that's what I suggested to you at the time, didn't I?"

This is the first time Fang Fei met Yang Yuanyi.

It was also what Yang Yuanyi said, an accidental morning in June.
