Chapter 94: Parental Love, Chinese Old Father (34)

Lv Zhong came out of the lounge, finished putting on makeup, and asked curiously, "Director, is it my turn?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, for bothering you to come again and keep you waiting. Just call me Xiao Shen."

Shen Santong didn't dare to accept it and acted like a student.

Lü Zhong, Wu Zetian in "Detective Di Renjie".

The "chopped into meat paste" Chou Ling is both domineering and calm and wise.

Guest-starred as Li Bingbing's mother in Birthday.

When casting, it was difficult to choose the heroine's mother.

Initially I wanted to find Zhu Lin, the Queen of the Kingdom of Women in Journey to the West, who was gentle, dignified and elegant.

But it's well maintained.

Li Bingbing was born in 73 and is a 30-year-old PhD in the setting.

Zhu Lin is 52 years older, more than years younger than him, but when they are together it feels like they are only about ten years apart.

Chen Jin was also considered.

Old Ye Wenjie in The Three-Body Problem, the commander-in-chief.

She looks old, but she was born in 64. In 05, she still looked pretty good playing Li Bingbing's mother.

finally.

When we confirmed the heroine's father, we found the mother based on "father".

The interaction between the father and daughter in the original version is very touching.

The father was waiting for the heroine, and after many cycles, the heroine finally kept the appointment.

The heroine expressed her longing for her mother and admitted her mistake.

Father and daughter reconciled.

The United States is not like what some public intellectuals say, that children are left to fend for themselves when they reach the age of 18.

That's just a family that can't help it.

American families with some means attach great importance to their children.

Many American parents live frugally and save money for their children's college tuition from an early age.

To send his children to college, the father drove across multiple states and thousands of miles to take his children to school.

The love of parents all over the world has similarities.

But there are differences between countries.

The image of the father in China has its own characteristics.

Falling behind will really lead to being beaten, so the old Chinese must continue to develop.

The meaning of life for most boys is to keep producing.

People born in the 80s and 90s were better off as their material conditions were better.

Being a father is also colorful as you can develop various interests and hobbies while producing children.

In the play Happy Birthday, the heroine’s father was born in the 50s.

Without material conditions, there is only output, and no conditions to develop interests and hobbies.

The image is relatively simple.

From the perspective of later generations, it is very tragic.

When it exists, it will be ignored, and some people even feel that it is bad.

But once he is gone, the consequences of the missing pillar will become apparent.

The older generation of fathers are the pure providers and contributors in the Chinese-American families.

He was a nonchalant bystander.

But in reality, it exists like a mountain and like an ocean.

A novel that Shen Santong liked to read in the past was "Zhu Xian" by Tian Buyi.

He is short and fat, but his Taoism is extremely profound.

He appears stern, but is actually strong-willed and protective.

It feels like an old father.

The scene where Shen Santong designs the reconciliation between father and daughter is similar to the original version.

The heroine still felt embarrassed and was thinking all kinds of things.

I have been stuck in a rut these years and can't save my face.

In fact, dad is here and he will only be happy that his daughter can get over it and live a better life.

It has been like this since I was a child, and it seems like it has never changed.

Only at a certain moment can you realize that even a father as steadfast as a mountain will grow old.

But in the play, the heroine's father is still as strong as a mountain.

The role design is similar to the original version, but the casting has to suit the characteristics of the old Chinese.

Shen Santong immediately recognized Liang Guanhua.

That is the one who has a good mouth, Di Renjie in "Detective Di Renjie".

So that people all over the country will unconsciously use his photo when taking photos of Di Renjie.

In his previous life, Shen Santong loved watching "Detective Di Renjie". Just listening to the lines was a pleasure. The long passages of lines were spoken in a very leisurely manner, which was amazing.

Liang Guanhua is perfect for the role, especially for the image of a Chinese father, chubby and amiable.

With "father" Di Renjie, there is also "mom" Wu Zetian.

That is Teacher Lv Zhong.

It was Professor Feng Yuanzheng who made the connection for us to invite these two people.

Shen Santong planned to add a final scene, which was a letter.

To put it bluntly, let the mother and daughter switch perspectives.

This drama is mainly from the perspective of the heroine, exploring the day of birthday.

Finally, let’s change the perspective and give the perspective of the heroine’s mother.

Refer to the last scene of "Hello, Li Huanying".

The exchange of perspectives between mother and daughter also completely sublimates their relationship.

It's a heavy tear gas bomb.

Many people say that this play is a skit, but Shen Santong cried while watching it.

There are many different kinds of original families on the Internet, such as parents imposing the meaning of life on me and parents' love suffocating me.
But in reality, most families are undoubtedly normal.

Most children are not barbecued pork, but flesh and blood, and they are grateful.

Otherwise, the box office of "Hello, Li Huanying" would not be so high.

The final change of perspective at least tripled the film’s box office.

Lu Zhong read the poem "Mother" to her daughter herself, or rather, memorized it.

To be precise, I said it with emotion, rhythm, and skill.

Lv Zhong asked Shen Santong: "How is it?"

"Teacher Lu, you are so awesome." Shen Santong was speechless.

This play was written by Shen Santong two weeks ago when he was inspired.

I sent the letter to Teacher Lv Zhong a week ago, just to get familiar with him.

Unexpectedly, Teacher Lv Zhong could memorize it.

Among the older generation of actors, there are some old-timers, but there are more people with both moral integrity and artistic excellence.

Even if it's just a guest appearance, I will do it well if I agree to do it.

Shen Santong could only admire him.

After Teacher Lu Zhong finished reading the letter, a few more shots were taken, including shots of her writing and a shot of her kindly smiling.

After finishing all this, we’ll call it a day.

After the filming, Shen Santong respectfully sent Teacher Lv Zhong out of the crew and arranged for someone to take care of her at home.

There is only one scene left before the filming is completed.

The original ending is that the heroine and the hero come together and chat in a cafe, paying tribute to "Groundhog Day", and finally ask "Did you sleep well last night?"

The camera goes black, a bell rings, and the heroine wakes up.

The ringtone is still "Today is my birthday, answer the phone quickly."

The hero talks to the heroine just like in the first cycle.

The heroine was shocked, thinking it was still a loop, but it was actually a joke.

The hero pushed the heroine down on the bed and wanted to kiss her.

Then the Asian clown didn't want to sleep in the car and wanted to change his underwear, but was kicked out.

Finally, the two kissed each other.

The picture freezes on a line of words on the door: "Today is the first day of the rest of your life."

Shen Santong’s version of the story adopts this kind of joke ending, but Huang Bo is not an inferior clown, but a sour brother.

My brother really drove a Lamborghini and his teeth were broken.

Then remind the heroine that someone is looking for her.

It was a letter delivered by the post office, and it should have arrived yesterday, but because the heroine's previous home had moved, the letter was found at the heroine's school.

It demonstrates the concept of postal express and guaranteed delivery.

In front of the flower bed of the apartment, the heroine took the letter and looked at the sender's name. She was startled to find that it was her mother.

I read my mother's letter.

The above ending content has been filmed completely except for the last scene where the heroine reads the letter.

December 5, morning.

The last scene of "Happy Birthday".

"You have to fully immerse yourself in the story and mobilize your emotions. This letter is a timed letter left by the mother for the heroine. It is the only thing the mother could do when she saw her daughter in trouble before she was seriously ill and about to die."

Shen Santong tells a story about the play to Li Bingbing.

This scene was not dubbed at the end, Shen Santong would play the prepared recording on the spot.

It was the first time that Li Bingbing heard Shen Santong speak, and he wanted to express his true feelings as much as possible.

Let your emotions out completely.

Li Bingbing adjusted himself and made a gesture: "Okay, director."

Shen Santong cleared the stage and the stage manager clapped the clapboard.
