Chapter 16 Poetic Immortality (End)

What is being shot now is the last scene.

The duo in the movie get a little tipsy and end up suggesting a walk around the street.

The streets here are very narrow, and the warm orange street lights on both sides of the road can only illuminate two people walking slowly on the street.While the two were walking side by side, a silent feeling was slowly brewing in the air.

This kind of light reminded Li Yuqing that when he was studying, Song Shuwen once drank too much after a dinner party, and then jumped up and down on the street like this, and read a poem he wrote aloud.

This was also the scene that Li Yuqing had the deepest impression on this man.

So he smiled as a matter of course: "Do you want to read the poem you wrote at that time again?"

Song Shuwen rubbed his face, the alcohol that had been suppressed with great difficulty began to rise as soon as the wind blew, he used his remaining sobriety to suppress the inexplicable impulse in his heart, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Farewell, I want to run to thirty Go, it's not appropriate."

"Say it again, really, say it again!"

"do not……"

"Read it again!" Li Yuqing begged.

Song Shuwen looked around and saw that there was no one around, the alcohol surging above him was swallowing up his little sober consciousness.

Maybe it was because of too much alcohol, or because Li Yuqing's smirk under the street lights was too touching, Song Shuwen finally let out a low growl, "Just read it", and then opened his throat and roared.

The warm orange light illuminates the small street, and a depressed man returns to his boyhood.

"I was born in the ashes, and my life is like a mayfly, but I yearn for the light, and hope to be bright in the end..." (Note 1)

The camera records the entire street, and only two vague figures can be seen in the picture.

Song Shuwen's voice, soaked in wine, was no longer as clear and bright as when he was studying, and the voice of a man in his late thirties was inevitably full of rusty hoarseness when he roared.

But Li Yuqing was smiling very happily, his eyes didn't completely fall on Song Shuwen, as if he saw him from a few years ago.

This scene of reading poems on the street at night is very vulgar in Song Shuwen's eyes. He has seen such a scene in domestic youth pain movies more than once. A group of middle-aged people who are happy or unhappy get together after many years Together, we sang the songs of our youth, recalled the scenes of the year, and used sensational techniques to harvest the tears of the audience.

But in the view of Song Shuwen, the similar plots now have a kind of "poetic flavor" that makes people itch.

After all, in addition to street lights, night, youth and other elements, there is also Li Yuqing here.

In fact, Song Shuwen really can't tell the difference between the inside and the outside of the play until now.Bai Jinhui barely wrote the names of these two characters in the script, and the experiences of these two characters are too similar to theirs.This made Song Shuwen always a little dazed, maybe he and Li Yuqing really saw each other after a few years, that's how it was.

So when Li Yuqing asked him what plans he had for the evening, Song Shuwen suddenly became a little panicked.

He knew very well that after this scene was filmed, their play would be over, Song Shuwen and Li Yuqing would return to their respective lives, and the two in the play would face parting the next day.

But Song Shuwen still calmed down, and suddenly said something meaningful:

"There is a small shop on this street. The owner's craftsmanship is very good. I want to take you to have breakfast before you leave."

"Are they open at this hour?"

"No, they don't open until six in the morning."

"That will take a long time."

"Yes, the night is still long."

"We can still do...a lot of things."

After a thought-provoking dialogue, the script came to an abrupt end. Bai Jinhui did not explain in the script what happened to the two of them during this long night. He cunningly left this question blank.

When the movie was filmed here, Bai Jinhui also had a feeling that he had nothing else to ask for.

He is very clear that this is a movie for entertainment, neither he nor the investors are planning to make money from this movie at all, and Bai Jinhui just wants to raise a question with this movie and give The process of making an argument—

Is poetry dead?

Poetry never dies.

In the movie, Bai Jinhui originally wanted to give two arguments. One is the nonsense of a group of poets, proving that these poets are not dead, and their poetry is not dead.The other is the story of the two characters in the movie. He wants to use an ambiguous story that tickles people's hearts outside of the poets' chat to prove that poetry is not dead.

But what Bai Jinhui didn't expect was that someone gave a third argument about poetic immortality outside the screen.

Song Shuwen and Li Yuqing.

After the last scene was filmed, Bai Jinhui paid the entire crew to have a deluxe supper at his own expense. Tomorrow, each will go to the next crew, waiting to interpret another person's life.

In the middle of the meal, Bai Jinhui suddenly started drinking, and asked the drama manager and life producer to go to the 24-hour convenience store outside to buy a few bags of wine, so much that Song Shuwen almost thought they had emptied the entire convenience store.

As the only two actors in "Poetic Immortality", Song Shuwen and Li Yuqing did not drink less.

Song Shuwen is actually very reluctant, he considers himself an old actor who has done a lot of movies.But this feeling of reluctance is only felt when filming "Jiangcheng Wharf" and "Poetic Immortality", not when filming other dramas.

If Zhou Yuanshan made him see what filmmaking is, what is the spirit of film, then Bai Jinhui made him realize why film is an art of creating dreams.

He really didn't want to finish filming. When he was filming, he was not only fulfilling the director's dream, but also compiling his and Li Yuqing's dream.

But now it's done.

The dream is about to wake up.

Li Yuqing can really drink. Last Chinese New Year, Li Yuqing drank two bottles of high-grade baijiu by himself without changing his face. Now, Li Yuqing is still doing a good job with a mixture of baijiu, foreign wine and beer, and even helps Song Shuwen stop drinking frequently.

It is precisely because he is drinking heavily to enliven the atmosphere that there is no sad atmosphere in this late-night snack. Instead, there is a kind of heroism of eating meat and drinking in a big bowl, and we will see you next time after the show is over.

But Bai Jinhui is a little old man after all, he didn't drink much and he was able to gain an air of superiority, finally he picked up the beer unsteadily and said: "I have to thank you, thank you for poetry."

Li Yuqing's eyes were red.

After this nondescript supper was over, Song Shuwen immediately went back to his room and was busy packing his things.

He made an appointment with his agent, and after returning to Jiangcheng to prepare for it tomorrow morning, he had to go to the next crew to film.

Today, he has been filming for almost three years, and has accumulated a little reputation and connections in the circle. Many directors know that there is a professional "supporting actor" like Song Shuwen, who has good acting skills and a stable state. It's not high, it's a gold medal supporting role with high quality and low price.

During this period of time, when he was packing his things, he always liked to listen to something to relieve his boredom, so he took out a pair of bluetooth headphones from his pocket.This pair of headphones was the one that Li Yuqing gave him back then, and Song Shuwen would carry it with him wherever he went.

In fact, Song Shuwen didn't have the habit of doing this, but when he participated in a certain event, the organizer gave each of them a domestic lossless player. This thing looks square, like a small brick, and the sound quality It is great, it can be connected to the power amplifier and Bluetooth, it can be used with the earphones that Li Yuqing gave him, and it can also display the accumulated playback times of the recorded songs.

The songs in the player are all carefully selected by him. He likes to click on it and play it immediately, listening to a short prelude to guess what song it is.

The song that is playing now is quite old, and Song Shuwen can still hum along with it.

But at this moment, he faintly heard a knock on the door.He took off an earphone and went to open the door, and it was Li Yuqing who he saw.

"Tomorrow...it's already today, what time do you leave?" Li Yuqing asked.

"It's eight o'clock. The manager said that he brought the newcomer to an event. He is rarely free recently, so he just came to pick me up." Song Shuwen sat down, took off the other earphone, and hid it in his hand with.

"I'm later than you, and my manager came to pick me up."

After saying this, both of them fell into silence.

After a while, Li Yuqing muttered, "The manager is guarding us like a thief, and will leave as soon as the filming is over."

Both of their agents have directly exposed the unformed relationship between the two of them and left them in the sun.They were also persuaded not to contact each other for a period of time under the banner of "being considerate of the other party".It seems that the little affection between them is like mold spores, as long as they are left in the sun long enough, they can be completely wiped out.

As for Song Shuwen and Li Yuqing, what they felt the most about this was not anger, but embarrassment.

The embarrassingly unclear and cute little affection was exposed to the other party, and then was killed wantonly before the other party expressed his position.

Fortunately, there is also a "Poetic Immortality", which allows them to meet again.Let the two people who subconsciously avoid meeting each other meet again in the movie world. In Bai Jinhui's dream, they are enjoying the ambiguity without telling the truth.

But now that the filming is over, everyone has to return to reality.

"By the way." Li Yuqing pointed to the player on Song Shuwen's bedside table, trying to find a topic; "I've been wanting to ask for a few days, what is the model of your lossless player?"

"I don't know exactly what the organizer sent it to."

Li Yuqing took the player over and asked, "What song are you listening to?"

"Old songs, listen to whatever you want."

Li Yuqing had never seen this type of lossless player before. Seeing that the player was still connected to Song Shuwen's Bluetooth headset, he changed it to a built-in amplifier to play, wanting to see how the resolution was.

It happened that the last old song was played, and the file name of the next song randomly played on the player screen was very strange. It was not a combination of singer and song name, but a phone recording with a date.

Looking at the astonishing record of playback times, it seems that Song Shuwen often picks out this recording and plays it in a loop.

Li Yuqing guessed that this was Song Shuwen's privacy, and it was not appropriate for him to hear it.

He was about to cut the song when he heard his own voice coming from the player:

"It would be great if my brother could see the moon on my side. I'm standing in the small street under the smile of the moon..."
