Chapter 29:


In the end, Chu Xiaxing didn't go to the cinema to watch "Man Ran" with Chu Qiuyi and Han Chuning. She had to recite the film's sub-scenes and lines back and forth, so naturally she was not interested. The three made an appointment for the next meeting. Chu Xiaxing and Han Chuning left Chu Qiuyi's home and returned to their homes.
After the broadcast of "The Immortal Doctor of the Song Dynasty", Chu Xiaxing spent a leisurely rest time. She didn't have to run promotional activities all day like an actor. She occasionally looked at the project case sent by Han Chuning, but she did not find a suitable scene. . The cooperative relationship between her and Chen Yanping is unbroken, but it takes time to incubate an excellent script. Chen Yanping is busy with the release of the script, and she really can't spare her hands on the script.
Chu Xiaxing made "Remote You" to catch the ducks on the shelves, and made "The Great Song Dynasty Medical" because the script was from Han Chuning. It was a bit difficult for her to find a good script. On the one hand, it takes a long time to prepare a good story, and on the other, it is a good script. It may not fall into the hands of young directors and was divided up by mature directors early.
Chu Xiaxing searched for projects one after another, but Xia Hong was so enthusiastic in Fanke Pictures that he actively proposed team building activities. Zhou Xuelu is now at Vanke Films, and she has had a lot of activities recently, but let Vanke Films do something, not like she had nothing to do in the past two years.
In the movie theater, Chu Xiaxing looked at the sneaky Zhou Xuelu, and couldn't help but jokingly said: "It's different when people become red. Going out now fully armed?"
Zhou Xuelu was wrapped up tightly. She had a hat, sunglasses and a mask. She complained: "Director, I can't help it. I was blocked when I went out two days ago and almost didn't run away..."
"The Immortal Doctor of the Song Dynasty" is being broadcast on TV. Zhou Xuelu has recently participated in variety show promotion, so she will really be recognized on the road. This is a treatment that was not available in the past. The video platform now has the idea of ​​pushing Zhou Xuelu and is negotiating a contract with Vanke Pictures. If the cooperation goes well, it will give resources.
Although Chu Xiaxing had filmed "Remote You", it was a low-cost web drama, and its spread was not as wide as "The Immortal Doctor of Song Dynasty". She is now a behind-the-scenes worker, and she does not show up frequently, but she is not bothered by Zhou Xuelu being guarded everywhere.
After a while, Xia Hong showed up happily. He looked at the two people chatting in the corner of the hall, glanced down at the phone screen, and beckoned happily, "Come on, I don’t know if Song Wenye will come, let’s go in. ..."
Zhou Xuelu seemed to be stepped on her tail. She was startled when she heard this: "Is Song always coming!?"
Xia Hong: "I don't know, he said that it depends on the situation, and I'm not finished now."
Zhou Xuelu panicked: "No, no, don't come, don't come, don't come..."
Chu Xiaxing: "You are both an actor, are you still afraid of him now?"
Zhou Xuelu: "The camps are really different. Xianyu is afraid of all workaholics."
Zhou Xuelu has a good relationship with Chu Xiaxing and Xia Hong, and Song Wenye has a good relationship with Chu Xiaxing and Xia Hong, but their work styles are completely different. When the three of them walked into the cinema, Zhou Xuelu was the first to sit between Xia Hong and Chu Xiaxing, so as to cut off the possibility of contact with Song Wenye.
Chu Xiaxing looked around the empty movie theaters. She looked at Xia Hong, the initiator of the event, and asked, "You have reserved the venue?"
Xia Hong nodded happily: "That's right, a project I talked about recently is related to this movie, and it was decided to organize the elite backbone of Vanke Films to watch it together!"
Zhou Xuelu looked at Xia Hong's ambitious appearance and whispered: "General Manager Xia is like a literary and artistic committee member in the elementary school class, with an inexplicable sense of excitement..."
Chu Xiaxing made up the knife indifferently: "Maybe it was the first time I was a class cadre since I was young."
Xia Hong: "...This movie is very famous!"
The light in the cinema dimmed, and Chu Xiaxing showed a clear look when the familiar film intro music sounded. Then she sighed softly, and she muttered: "Xu Xian has fallen into a project with you in Chengdu?"
Chu Xiaxing: How much money does my competitor lack for milk powder? His wife is also quite rich?
Xia Hong saw that Chu Xiaxing recognized the old film in a few seconds, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Is Director Chu familiar with this film? Even the subtitles haven't appeared yet!"
It was pitch black on the cinema screen, and now that the melodious music had just sounded, and even the footage did not appear, Chu Xiaxing guessed the name of the movie, which naturally surprised Xia Hong.
Chu Xiaxing did not expect that he would not escape the scene of his old opponent in the end. The chic and elegant word "Man Ran" appeared on the big screen, followed by the subtitles of "Director Xu Xiancheng". She once smashed this movie, even accurate to a few minutes and seconds, of course, she recognized it without hesitation.
Chu Xiaxing immediately got up and said relaxedly: "You guys watch the movie, I will go to sleep later."
Xia Hong was busy to dissuade: "This is a master movie! It's a pity to sleep now!"
Chu Xiaxing: "Well, his play is very hypnotic. It's a pity not to sleep."
Xia Hong: "???"
Chu Xiaxing had always followed her own way, and Xia Hong and Zhou Xuelu didn't stop her. They only thought she had watched "Man Ran" too many times, and now they completely lost interest, and they told her to eat after a while. Chu Xiaxing nodded in response. She walked to the back row where there was no one, and distanced herself from Zhou and Xia. Watching the movie alone, she had the illusion of dreaming back to her youth.
She still remembered that when she watched "Man Ran" for the first time, she also went to the cinema alone, and she was also sitting in the back row, just as she is now.
The music of "Man Ran" was gentle and soft, and the scene was calm and tranquil, which quickly made Chu Xia Xing drowsy. She was a little sleepy in the dim cinema, as if she had a long dream, dreaming of many people when she was young, and she woke up until her forehead sank, and suddenly realized that there seemed to be someone around her.
In the gloom, Song Wenye sat quietly next to Chu Xiaxing. He was watching the movie intently. Qingjun's face was stained with a gleam of light, like a silent statue.
Chu Xiaxing held her forehead, she finally eased from her sleepiness, and said lightly: "Ms. Song, your appearance like this is very scary."
Song Wenye blinked, and he explained innocently: "They are too noisy."
Chu Xiaxing looked up at the front row. Zhou Xuelu and Xia Hong were like elementary school students who were excited about the spring outing. They were chatting about something. Fortunately, this was a movie theater reserved, otherwise they might have been driven out. Zhou Xuelu just said that Xia Hong is a literary and artistic committee member of elementary school, and her words and deeds are not like those of junior high school students.
Chu Xiaxing and Song Wenye were like elderly people who were calm and relaxed. They sat in the back row and watched a movie silently, not talking as much as the two in the front row.
Song Wenye curiously asked, "Does Director Chu not like this movie? He fell asleep halfway through."
Chu Xiaxing: "It's not like I like it or hate it, it's just that I've seen it too many times."
Song Wenye: "If it is a movie you like, no matter how many times you have watched it, it will be the first time you watch it."
Chu Xiaxing said with emotion: "Then I may never find the feeling when I first watched "Man Ran"."
Song Wenye's eyes flashed slightly, he looked at her unclearly, and said softly: "Then how did you feel the first time you watched it?"
Chu Xiaxing said blankly: "Jealous."
Song Wenye was taken aback, he watched her quietly, waiting thoughtfully for the next step.
Chu Xiaxing smiled self-deprecatingly: "When I finished watching "Manran" for the first time, I had no other thoughts in my heart, only naked jealousy. How could there be people who are born with talent in the world? I want to cry afterwards. I don’t think I will be able to shoot "Man Ran" for the rest of my life, and I can’t be such a spiritual director..."
When Chu Xiaxing was young, she was autistic after watching "Man Ran". She wondered if she should continue to be a director, just like seeing an unattainable mountain on the way forward, since she might not be able to cross her life, Is there any need to persevere?
She chooses to do her best, but she doesn't seem to be the best.
She has never been the most talented person, even if she has tried her best, there will be times of weakness. She carefully finished the shots of "Man Ran" at that time, and could only become more sure of the tragic reality. She would never be able to shoot it, and could not imitate the charm at all.
Song Wenye groaned for a few seconds, then he whispered: "Then you should go and see "Blood Sky" again."
Chu Xiaxing didn't expect that he would suddenly mention his old work, and she suddenly showed an unexpected look, making it difficult to answer.
Song Wenye’s eyes gleamed in the dark. He stared straight at Chu Xiaxing, who was stunned, and said peacefully:
Although outsiders say that Director Chu and Director Xu are competitors, I think that Director Chu She’s level is much higher. She never thought of comparing it to Director Xu. "Man Ran" is a story of genius, but "Blood Sky" is a story of mortals."
"Director Xu relies on the talents she was born to eat, and Director Chu relies on the talents earned. If they are still filming now, I believe Director Chu can go further. Because everything she has is from the sky. It was not a gift from God, so no one can take it away."
Xu Xiancheng is a talented and talented person, and Chu Xiaxing is a hard worker who is unwilling to believe in fate.
Chu Xiaxing looked at Song Wenye's serious appearance, her heart was touched like a stormy sea, but her face was silent, and she said dumbly: "I didn't expect you to understand "Blood Sky" from this perspective. Most film critics They all feel that this drama is to fight "Man Ran" and is the starting point of the two directors' competition."
After Chu Xiaxing watched "Man Ran", she had a heart-knotted psychological shadow for a long time, and she even lost her desire to create. She wandered aimlessly in the Tibetan area for a long time. Finally, one day looking at the plateau and the blue sky, she suddenly had the idea of ​​shooting "Blood Sky" in her heart.
Song Wenye shook her head decisively: "They didn't understand. Director Chu never thought of confrontation or competition. This film conveyed her relief and self-reconciliation. She decided to live only to surpass herself in the future. Compare it with anyone."
His words seemed to be an understatement, but instantly broke her defense.
Chu Xiaxing listened to him so hard that she couldn't describe the complex and subtle emotions in her heart. She only felt that her thick and sophisticated shell was easily shattered by others. Someone could understand her mood changes through her works!
After "Blood Sky" was released that year, she had read the analysis of many film critics, and even heard of Xu Xiancheng's comments, but she dismissed them all, thinking they could only see the fur.
Countless people like to compare and analyze "Manran" and "Blood Sky", and even the industry has produced countless academic papers, but she thinks they are all nonsense, and very few people read the meaning. They just imposed their own ideas on the work, and they didn't understand what she wanted to convey.
It was true that Chu Xiaxing was deeply jealous of Xu Xiancheng, but she didn't feel that way again after she filmed "Blood Sky". She really couldn't make "Man Ran", but Xu Xiancheng couldn't make "Blood Sky" either. They were never the same kind of directors, and they were not comparable.
Chu Xiaxing didn't expect that decades later, for the first time she heard someone correctly interpret her work, and she couldn't help feeling deeply. This may be the charm of film and television works. Even though her original body has disappeared in the world, there are still future generations who can understand her original thoughts, resonate with her thoughts, and become a confidant across time and space.
Chu Xiaxing was silent for a moment, and she smiled relievedly: "If I didn't know the truth, I would admire Mr. Song for his first-rate flattering skills..."
Chu Xiaxing: All these people praised me as being better than Xu Xiancheng, so why are you embarrassed to put air on him?
Song Wenye didn't know his crazy rainbow fart behavior, and he showed a dazed expression after hearing this: "?"
Song Wenye said sincerely: "I sincerely suggest that you watch "Blood Sky", you don't have to finish "Man Ran" to feel jealous..."
Chu Xiaxing couldn't laugh or cry: "Yes, yes, I've watched "Blood Sky", and I was jealous when I watched "Man Ran" for the first time. I don't feel this way anymore! What is Xu Xiancheng, what is he great? ?"
She has not only seen "Blood Sky", that is what she shot, is her breakthrough self-breaking work!
Seeing her regaining her former look, Song Wenye smiled in his eyes, half-jokingly said: "Then Director Xu is still very remarkable. No one can compete with him in the director world."
Chu Xiaxing lazily said: "Then I won't be jealous of him anymore. What can I be jealous of him? Jealous of him is old and bald, jealous of him is timid and cowardly, I can't hear any bad comments, or I am jealous of his Jiang Lang to make a film? You can be jealous that he has a good wife, what else can make me jealous!"
Song Wenye: "No need to say that..." Director Xu would cry after hearing it.
Chu Xiaxing was jealous of Xu Xiancheng’s talents when she was young, but she has long been dismissive of these things now. The delicate and knowledgeable Director Xu was finally catalyzed by the years to become an inflexible old man. He is gradually falling behind the pace of the times and can no longer be surprised. A brilliant work. This is the most uncomfortable thing for Chu Xiaxing, and even occasionally feels sad.
When the times begin to change, first-rate directors will slowly fall away. Can she take a few steps longer than Xu Xiancheng?
Chu Xiaxing looked at Song Wenye, who was dignified and talkative, with a look of sorrow, and said regretfully: "Mr. Song, don't look at you now, you may be ugly, bald, and greasy in old age. Big belly, completely different from today."
As a Yan Gou, Chu Xiaxing felt heartbroken when she thought about the fall of the handsome boys and girls.
Song Wenye: "?" Can't you expect me to be better?
Song Wenye pursed his lips, lowered his eyes lightly and said, "Are you curious about how I looked when I was old?"
Chu Xiaxing answered calmly: "The main reason is to wonder what will happen to you when you become ugly."
Song Wenye said calmly: "Since you want to know how I looked when I was old, you have to keep in touch for the rest of your life. If you lose contact halfway, you won't be able to see it."
Chu Xiaxing: "?"
