Finished shopping for clothes.

Chen Ci followed the instructions of the immortal and took Liu Xiaoli to have a hot pot meal.

Then the store clerk misunderstood their relationship.

Chen Xi explained endlessly.

Liu Xiaoli remained silent.

The expression on his face is always calm. always like that...elusive-

"Xiao Chen, I heard from Qianqian that your hometown is Luzhou? Chen

Ci rinsed the meat and said,"Yes, it's a small mountain village in Luzhou." Liu

Xiaoli nodded and asked,"Then how did you come up with the idea of ​​taking the Nortel Directing Department exam?" Chen

Ci smiled and said,"I'm not satisfied with what you said, auntie. Actually, I just think the director is quite majestic.""

Liu Xiaoli took out a cooked prawn and peeled off the shrimp shell quietly:"Is that why you like to shoot realistic subjects?"

"No, I shoot realistic subjects because it’s cheap."

His speeches have always been frank, and he doesn't pretend to be pretentious. Say whatever you want.

When he made"Blind Shaft", he only had 3 million.

He made"Three Gorges Good Man" and tasted the dividends.

When he made"Blind Mountain", it was I want to continue to reap the dividends.

Don’t look at the box office difference between Kung Fu and"Blind Mountain".

But profit is not a concept at all.

In the movie industry, there is something called rate of return.

Just like"A World Without Thieves" by Feng Pants..

It seems that he lost to Zhou Xingchi.

But he is not afraid of him in terms of return rate.

To put it bluntly, some movies have high box office and high investment, so the return rate is not that high.

And some movies have high box office and low investment, then The rate of return is quite amazing.

Obviously

《"Kung Fu" is the former

《"Blind Mountain" is the latter.

If you invest 50 million in box office, it will be less than 130 million.

That designation is a loss.

And"Blind Mountain" even has only 1,000,000 rooms.

It is also not a loss.

Liu Xiaoli didn't expect that the child in front of her would be so frank that she wouldn't hide it at all.

Even the white hands peeling the shrimps couldn't help but pause slightly.

"What about interviews? those words you said...Only when you leave the capital and walk 50 miles south can you see the real world...."

Liu Xiaoli put the white and tender shrimp meat into his bowl.

He raised his head and asked.

This action and speech suddenly made me want to laugh.

Do both mother and daughter have a hobby of peeling shrimps for others?

Last time I was in Zhoushan.

The movements of Liu Yifei and her mother are almost exactly the same.

They are indeed a real mother and daughter.... certain moments.

The look, tone, and even movements are so similar....

"Is it all perfunctory?"

"Auntie, have you seen my interview?..."

"Well, I have nothing to watch lately"

"What to say...It’s not just perfunctory. When I arrived in the capital, I discovered that there are indeed two worlds here and outside."

Chen Ci picked up the shrimp meat and put it in his mouth, and told her about the difficulty of the crew and the harsh conditions during the filming of"The Blind Shaft".

Liu Xiaoli listened quietly. She would look up at him from time to time.

Soon her eyes met again. Slightly bowed.

The cinema was the last stop today.

Chen Ci walked ahead carrying something.

Liu Xiaoli was wrapped in a long down jacket and followed behind with her hands in her pockets.

When she arrived at the ticket office,

Chen Ci asked Liu Xiaoli to choose what she wanted to see.

Liu Xiaoli finally pointed to a small poster in the corner.

It looked as if it had been abandoned.

Chen Ci looked in the direction of her finger.

——《"South of the Clouds" directed by the great poet and writer Zhu Wen.

A very niche movie starring Li Xuejian.

If I remember correctly...

Later beans half shown.

Only 2,000 people have viewed it.

Coincidentally...

Chen Ci is one of these 2,000 people, and he even did a commentary on this movie.

In the screening room.

Empty.

Private venues belong to yes.

Chen Ci and Liu Xiaoli casually found a comfortable place to sit down.

Wait quietly for the movie to start. soon.

The lights in the screening room suddenly went out.

The classic dragon logo began to appear on the big screen.

The video begins.

Li Xuejian's performance in this film is still solid.

It mainly tells the story of a 60-year-old man.

Like most art films.

You need to calm down and look at it.

The first half of the film is straightforward.

Steady shots and simple images depict an ordinary Chinese family.

It is full of the atmosphere of life that everyone is familiar with.

Father's nagging...

Children's impatience... tight economic conditions... indifferent kinship...

Changing urban landscape...

Real and relevant.

To be honest, Zhu Wen and Jia Zhangke really look alike.

Watch this movie.

People can't help but think of Lao Jia's realism.

In the video.

Zhu Wen used a lot of details to portray the psychological state between father and daughter.

A description of the lives of family members.

And the portrayal of the old man played by Li Xuejian makes people see a little bit of Ozu Yasujiro.

The seemingly ordinary life has arranged a suspense from the beginning.

——The man is going to Yunnan.

And very determined.

Despite being in bad health...

Despite economic constraints...

Although his daughter wanted to borrow the ten thousand yuan he had for half his life to start a business...

But men are very determined.

He is going to Yunnan.

For this reason, he turned down the opportunity for others to introduce his wife.

Keep exercising every day.

After receiving the news that a co-worker died suddenly of illness.

He decides.

Can't wait any longer.

He is going to Yunnan.

After a journey of indifference.

The man with a surging heart came to the strange Kunming.

I met a strange pick-up person at the train station.

It was a friend arranged by my worried daughter.

The pick-up person is an enthusiastic little boss.

I want to take my man to visit Kunming while driving.

The man who couldn't resist said that I just wanted to visit the 512 Military Factory.

Come to the strange 512.

The man wandered around the living quarters of the factory.

In the meantime, I borrowed the toilet at an aunt's house and used it.

After it was over, the man left with satisfaction.... to here.

The suspense is further heightened.

Why did he come?

That night the man had a dream.

In the dream, he went to the scenic spot introduced to him by the pick-up person.

——Lugu Lake.

The Mosuo people, a matriarchal society, live there.

The village chief said here.

Men were not allowed to work or worry, otherwise they would be expelled.

The man settled down and stopped working and worrying.

Suddenly, the style of the image changed as sharply as the plot.

Become poetic.

A man floats on the lake in a boat.

Listen to the folk songs of Mosuo women.

He sleeps in a tree.

A Mosuo woman riding a horse passed by.

The man chased after him.

He said that I just had a dream and I was so depressed, please come and listen to me.

In the dream, he returned to the north.

When he was young, he had the opportunity to be transferred to Factory 512 in Kunming.

He yearns for freedom.

Looking forward to being transferred.

But while he was waiting for the long procedure, he had a relationship with a woman with a bad temper. that era.

There is no way. they got married.

He stayed in the north.

After marriage, everything is not ideal.

He was overwhelmed by the depressing life, stressful work and the birth of children one after another.

The woman died when the child was very young.

He's had it tough for decades.

Whenever life is difficult, he will regret not coming to Yunnan.

If I came to Yunnan, everything would not be like this.

The Mosuo woman who was listening told him that this was not a dream, it was real. man wakes up with shock... lying on hotel bed...

All the suspense was suddenly realized.

The man just wanted to take a look at a world he had missed many years ago.

He could have had a completely different life.

But, he missed it.

The reasons are complex.

However, this is the fate of their generation.

Now, old.

The man came to Yunnan, the place he had always dreamed of, and everything was relieved.

No, it's not over yet.

Between a strange combination of circumstances.

The man was thrown into a whirlpool between the police and prostitutes, and got into trouble.

The plot turned into an absurd drama again.

In order to prove his innocence, a man must wait for the police to catch the prostitute who has been let go and give a confession.

People of their generation took reputation very seriously.

The man cannot leave, he must stay in Kunming and wait.

He was dragged around the hotel with nothing to do. (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Waiting anxiously.

Waiting for the prostitute to be caught like waiting for Godot.

South of the clouds.

In the end, it became another dilemma for men that they couldn't get out of. last picture...

Next to a peaceful lake.

The man looked from a distance, tears shining in the corners of his eyes, and a smile on his lips.

This is the expression of a generation.

This is a story about a generation.

The video ends.

The theater became bright again.

Chen Ci noticed that Liu Xiaoli was staring blankly at the big screen.

He could understand her mood at the moment.

Because it didn't bother her.

Such a poetic film actually has a lot of room for association and interpretation.

This movie may have different feelings for people of every age group.

Just like a speech.

When watching this movie, I first thought of my parents.

To be exact, not only my father[]

But the entire generation born in the 1950s and 1960s.

There were many years.

He felt that people of his father's generation were pale and vague, had no personality, and were even simple-minded.

They were out of touch with the rapidly changing times he had seen growing up. most of the time.

It feels like they have always been like this.

Never experienced youth.

I never had any ideals.

And the gap between himself and them is so deep that no amount of time can fill it. certainly.

Such ideas may not be relevant to the times.

Many children face their parents.

It also includes statements about having children in the future.

He might feel the same way.

But as I get older.

When he can understand the ordinary nature of life.

He will also be able to begin to understand the lives and experiences of his parents' generation.

In fact, everyone lives in a specific era.

0asking for flowers0childhood education, adolescence experiences, and adult environment.

Basically shape a person's entire perspective on life and the world.

The so-called generation gap may mean looking at the lives of the previous generation or the next generation based on one's own eyes.

It is difficult to truly understand and tolerate such differences.

That is the realm to be pursued.

What can be realistically achieved may be awareness and compromise.

On this basis.

Supplemented by the bonding of emotional family affection.

This may be a feasible way of getting along between generations.

In fact.

This method can even be indulged in any interaction between people.

Connect with people and build relationships.

It is one of the basic propositions of being a human being living in a group society.

And such relationships are often dynamic.

Having too many ideals may seem cold.

There are too many emotions and often get entangled.

Only by being able to strike the right balance.

It is the embodiment of wisdom in life. have to say.

Li Xuejian's performance in the film is outstanding.

Although it has a slightly formulaic tone.

But his tone and movements seemed slightly feminine.

It exactly shows the personality and experience of the male protagonist.

People who lived in that era.

What is missing is ego and dignity.

Most of them are obedient and kind.

Just like his interpretation of Song Jiang.

There are tears in the laughter at the end, and it is hard to distinguish between joy and pain.

It's also quite touching.

And the reason why Liu Xiaoli is like this.

Presumably it's because she and the male protagonist are contemporaries.

It seems so.

Watching this movie is not in vain.

At least it will be helpful to Liu Xiaoli.

Incomplete guarantee.

She kept watch until the clouds opened and the moon shone brightly.

Dream again.

Instead of pinning all your hopes on your daughter~

Jiangnan Mansion.

Liu Xiaoli parked the car.

Chen Ci yawned and got out of the car.

The passenger seat is indeed more comfortable than the main driver seat.

"Goodbye aunt."

I am really tired of making speeches today.

After saying goodbye to Liu Xiaoli, I walked towards my home.

Liu Xiaoli looked at his figure gradually disappearing into the night in a daze.

Returning home, she received a call from her daughter. Phone.

Liu Yifei first asked if Xiao Chen was responsible today.

Liu Xiaoli hesitated and said"Yeah".

Liu Yifei smiled:"Mom, let me just say that Xiao Chen is very good~"

Liu Xiaoli remained silent.

But Liu Yifei's face was full of smiles. Happy:"That's great. If Xiao Chen helps me stay with mom, mom, you won't be bored."~"

Xiaoli still didn't speak.

It wasn't until a moment later that she whispered:"You are younger than others, how can you call me Xiao Chen? It's rude."

Liu Yifei muttered:"I like to call you like that~"

Liu Xiaoli sighed.

Immediately he asked her about her recent situation on the set.

We chatted for half an hour.

Liu Xiaoli felt a little tired

"Sissi, tell Xiao Chen that if he has nothing to do in the future, he can come to my place for dinner."

"I see him running out every day during meals..."

"I'm so tired and my food is not hygienic."

Liu Yifei felt that what her mother said was very reasonable.

She immediately agreed.

From then on...

Starting from the next day.

Chen Ci goes to Tianxian's house on time every day to have dinner.

He is full of praise for Liu Xiaoli’s cooking skills.

Over time.

Occasionally.

I didn't see the speaker.

Instead, Liu Xiaoli would worry about whether something happened to him.

The result was finally discovered.

Every time he stayed up too late and overslept.

"Xiao Chen, don't stay up late every day, it's not good for your health."

At the dinner table,

Liu Xiaoli said seriously.

Chen Xi's face was full of indifference:"Auntie, I am in good health."

As he spoke, he also showed off his biceps to Liu Xiaoli.

Liu Xiaoli smiled and gave him some beef with chopsticks.

Chen Ci was slightly stunned.

But it was only for a moment.

He returned to normal in the next second.

It was just a matter of eating rice. Yu.

It was inevitable that he was a little surprised.

He lamented that this person is still a social animal.

In the past, Liu Xiaoli stayed by herself every day.

There was no light in her eyes.

Now she has regained her luster.

Her whole person looks different from before.

After dinner.

Chen Ci walked to the yard skillfully and started to smoke.

Liu Xiaoli also got up and washed the dishes and tidied up tacitly.

Peaceful and peaceful.

Warm and comfortable.

Such a rhythm of life...

For Liu Xiaoli... dreamlike...

Go back inside.

Liu Xiaoli was already sitting on the sofa watching TV.

Chen Ci lay down on the imperial concubine sofa beside him, crossed his legs and looked lazily at the TV screen.

Oops...

Isn’t this the most miserable protagonist, Di Yun?~

"Oh, yes, auntie."

At this time, Chen Ci suddenly thought of something.

Liu Xiaoli tilted her head slightly.

As Chen Ci's words fell, a trace of inexplicable panic flashed across her originally cold cheek.

"I'm going out to shoot a public service announcement next week, so I don't have to cook my meals to avoid waste."

Chen Ci smiled slightly...
