Can't fly

The last ten years have been a contradictory period between the Mesozoic and new generations of directors. The old batch refuses to show weakness, while the young are eager to prove themselves.

Actors are gradually being discovered, and almost every year there are masterpieces coming out, in different genres, and the movie is a bit like a thriving new golden age.

Five years ago, a documentary "What's in the Sewer", which reflected the gray transactions in the underground market, came out, and it exploded the long-suspended documentary market like a thunderbolt.

However, due to "technical reasons" and "submitting for trial in violation of regulations", the documentary was quickly withdrawn, and the director was banned from making movies.This incident aroused heated discussions back then. Most of the opinions in the industry were that the director was too wronged. Unfortunately, the documentary itself has a relatively narrow audience and failed to reflect the mainstream level.

The director of "What's in the Sewer" is Wan Chenyun.

Wan Chenyun was born in documentary films, and has never set foot in narrative films before.His lens language is full of conflict and tension, holding the emotions of the viewers, and he dare not let go for a moment.

Yang Yuanyi felt that he was the most suitable person to shoot Ye Xiehui's book.

He hooked up and let Ye Xiehui and Wan Chenyun meet.

The two idealists hit it off almost immediately, and it didn't take long for the project to be approved, and the film officially entered the stage of preparation.Yang Yuanyi couldn't resist Ye Xiehui's hard work, so he co-produced with Cheng Shu and was in charge of overall planning.

The casting announcement was to test the waters in the small circle first. Tang Ao asked him after he knew about it, but Fang Fei had no interest in either role.

The script was written by Ye Xiehui. Fang Fei had read the outline released to the auditioners and found it awkward.The characters are too complicated, and the story is full of various elements, which cannot be explained clearly in 120 minutes.Furthermore, although Yang Yuanyi served as the producer, it is still a question mark as to what effect it can present in the end.

The book is not necessarily bad, but Fang Fei's trial and error cost is too high, he managed to accumulate some works, but it is not enough to make him rise and fall again.

After weighing several times, Fang Fei finally chose not to get involved.

Yang Yuanyi has been going out early and coming back late recently. After the review, he has to personally inquire about the preparation and release of the film.

He attaches great importance to "Suddenly It's Too Late", Fang Fei sometimes only has time to kiss him goodbye in the morning, and when Yang Yuanyi comes back, Fang Fei has already fallen asleep.

In the end, he didn't move in directly to the rented house. He asked Xiaoai to hire a housekeeper to clean it every month, but he didn't return the rent directly.

Maybe what you are holding is the mirror flower and the moon in the water, lest it will be completely shattered one day.

Fang Fei no longer gives Yang Yuanyi his whole body and mind as before. He doesn't know if this is good, but he can only be sure. If he doesn't do this, he will feel anxious every day.

He is willing to be loved, but he still hasn't escaped the shadow of "substitute".

On the day of Lidong, Fang Fei cooked dumplings alone in the Xincheng mansion.

Video chatted with Li Xiaoqin about recent work.The woman happily told him that the remuneration Fang Fei sent back earlier solved the store's urgent need.And her grandma's condition has stabilized after the operation. Seeing that Fang Fei was making money, Fang Shiping also agreed to have a comprehensive physical examination and recuperate accordingly.

Family is Fang Fei's concern. After hearing what Li Xiaoqin said, it seems that the work content that he doesn't like very much has meaning.

After it was over, Fang Fei glanced at the time and prepared to take a shower and rest.

Yang Yuanyi came back at this time.

He looked a little tired, and pushed open the door, just as Fang Fei stood up from the sofa.

Accustomed to these days, Fang Fei often couldn't get a face-to-face meeting. Fang Fei couldn't hide his surprise at his sudden appearance: "Are you back... so early today?"

"I'll show you something." Yang Yuanyi took out a folder and handed it to Fang Fei.

He took it in a daze, turned a few pages, and was even more surprised: "The script of "Falling Water"?"

"New version." Yang Yuanyi was half lying on the sofa, extremely tired, and sighed comfortably, "The two auditions organized were not smooth, Ye Xiehui was a little anxious, so he kept calling me to find a way for the past two days, probably thinking that I was Doraemon."

Fang Fei heard his complaint, laughed and said, "What's wrong?"

"When I heard about Wan Chenyun and Ye Xiehui, many of them were scared away." Yang Yuanyi said, "Probably because of worry, for example, what if Wan Chenyun was banned after half of the filming. It’s too good, otherwise, why didn’t Ye Chengrong shoot it himself. If I can’t find an actor, I plan to put it on hold.”

Fang Fei looked at the script and said "uh", "Don't you have any alternatives?"

"Yes." Yang Yuanyi stretched out his hand to stroke his lower back, moved up his spine, and then circled ambiguously on his back, "I am the first to think of you if you have a good book, will Teacher Fang give you face?"

"Ok?"

Yang Yuanyi propped himself up and embraced him from behind, with his chin resting on his neck: "Really, if you come, I will match you with a perfect partner."

Fang Fei's ears were itchy from the heat, and he couldn't help laughing: "No, I don't know how to play dumb."

"As for whom to match..." Yang Yuanyi didn't seem to listen to his rejection at all, and asked whimsically, "Shen Jue?"

Fang Fei admitted that he was a little moved when he heard this sentence.

But he still said: "Just kidding me, the killer in the script is the main character."

"That's right, so you can play the role of the killer."

Yang Yuanyi's words made Fang Fei unexpected.

After reading his daze, Yang Yuanyi bent his eyes: "You should read the script first."

Fang Fei felt that the second edition of "Falling into the Water" was more like a gangster movie.

The killer is a gang member, but he still has a conscience and does not want to offend the leader by participating in a human trafficking.The other party was newly appointed and took this opportunity to clean up the house. He was suspected of having to escape overnight in order to survive, fell into the water and suffocated, and was rescued by a mute when he was about to die.Dumb and dirty, he was beaten and kicked by street gangsters every day, extorting money for picking up junk.

The killer has not recovered from his injuries. Although he doesn't want to repay his favor, he has to live with the mute.

The two were on guard against each other, and when they gradually mastered the method of communication and opened their hearts to each other, the killer discovered that the mute was an undercover agent of the police force, and wanted to use him to obtain criminal evidence from the gang leader...

Frankly speaking, this version was the first one I got my hands on, maybe Fang Fei wanted to give it a try.

Is it too late to declare in advance that you are not interested, and then get excited again?

Holding the script, Fang Fei remained silent for a while.

Yang Yuanyi turned his face and grabbed his earlobe and bit it lightly: "A Fei, please take care of me."

"So who changed the script?"

Hearing this, Yang Yuanyi smiled: "Me."

Fang Fei: "Huh?"

"what do you think?"

"It's pretty good. Teacher Ye's version always feels like you want everything, it's too full. You seem to have deleted a lot...it's okay."

Yang Yuanyi teased him with irregular fingers: "So for the sake of my hard work, should Teacher Fang consider it?"

The tingling sensation spread all the way to the back of his head. Fang Fei was afraid of itching, so he shrank his waist and stood up to hide: "I can't even think properly, how can you be like this—"

Before he finished speaking, someone grabbed his neck and led him forward, his center of gravity was unstable, and he fell down on Yang Yuanyi's lap.

He stretched out his hands in a panic to support himself, but accidentally pressed a strange part.

The embarrassment made Fang Fei stunned, and he didn't dare to look up for a moment, and wanted to move his hand away, but it seemed too much to cover up.

Focusing on the extremely narrow area, one hand covered him, firmly inserted between the fingers and clenched tightly.Fang Fei's face became a little hot, and he felt that something was about to happen, and he couldn't figure out if he was looking forward to it.

When Yang Yuanyi kissed him, he frantically unbuttoned his belt with both hands. Not far away, the curtains were wide open, and the wetland park was full of greenery.The lights at night are scattered like stars.

The living room is brightly lit, and there is nowhere to hide sweat and heat.

It was unbearable to kneel on the ground when kneeling, but at this moment Fang Fei could clearly feel the butterfly bone on Yang Yuanyi's chest, the resonance was heavy, and it was in the same rhythm as breathing.The nape of the neck, the Adam's apple, the pulse, all the fragile places have not escaped, and Yang Yuanyi's hands are also firmly fixed by Yang Yuanyi. He is like Yang Yuanyi's prey.

Fortunately, the nearest building outside the window is at least two kilometers away. At night, it is a high-rise again, so I don’t worry about being seen by anyone, but Fang Fei can’t look directly at the sofa and carpet for a long time.

They haven't done it for a long time, this time, Yang Yuanyi hugged him very tightly.

The year before when he met Yang Yuanyi again, he was full of apprehension, worrying whether the other party remembered the ambiguous past.Now, Fang Fei can say "no" to him, and can also walk into his depths, explore him, understand him, and integrate with him.

Probably too excited, Yang Yuanyi repeatedly asked him "how about making a movie together", Fang Fei nodded in a daze.

Yang Yuanyi is really a bad person, he always takes advantage of his weaknesses.

But he showed up first, so he was willing and liked to be manipulated by Yang Yuanyi to move forward.

On the last day of November, "Falling Water" officially announced its cast.

The gangster killer "A Jiang" was taken down by Fang Fei, and once the previously unpopular "dumb" actor was announced, people who were originally on the sidelines regretted it——

Shen Jue.

The reason why Shen Jue chose this movie is a bit secondary.

Because of their appearance, most of Shen Jue's representative characters are personable, but his favorite ones either wear disfiguring makeup, or are simply crazy anti-social personalities.

The mute is the opposite of most of the characters he has played, unkempt, weak, like a quail when shivering, even a bit ugly, even if the undercover identity was revealed later, he did not become the representative of Wei Guangzheng all at once, very co-star taste.

His comeback made the movie popular to a certain extent.

A year ago, Shen Jue was exposed to recordings of quarrels, breakups, and indifference with her boyfriend. Her reputation plummeted and she announced that she would suspend all work from then on.This is understood as "apology", but in fact he just wants to give himself time to resolve the conflict between the two.

Now that an agreement has been reached, the other family also knows Shen Jue's bottom line and will no longer force him.

So even though Shen Jue didn't say anything from the beginning to the end, the media basically understood that he and Mr. Xie probably "reunited after a broken mirror", and the breakup became a joke, so naturally there is no place to trace back the ban.

When Yang Yuanyi invited him, he was sure that Shen Jue hadn't filmed for a long time because of his addiction, and he liked the character, so it was almost impossible to refuse.

Project approval, scene scouting, script reading, setting a date for starting the project at the beginning of the next year.

At the beginning of December, the trailer of "Suddenly Too Late" was officially released, and the movie tickets for the road show were all sold out.

In the middle of the year, Jincheng was selected as the first stop of the road show.

The public screening version lasted 107 minutes, and there was no tension in walking the red carpet or being interviewed, but Fang Fei secretly held Yang Yuanyi's hand during the screening.When he saw himself on the screen, he was in a dream for a moment.

The string music runs through the last scene, the sound of the rain grows louder, and time is covered with a layer of dust.

The car carrying the woman and her family passed through the tunnel. On the other side of the road, the river was surging and the leaves were swaying. She looked at the cliff in ecstasy, as if looking at a certain night through the years.

The car drove faster and faster, and the picture became darker, gradually overlapping with the beginning...

"End".

All the lights in the cinema hall were turned on. There was silence at first, and then someone turned it on, and there was a wave of applause.

On January 1, "Suddenly It's Too Late" was released.

The cumulative box office exceeded 5000 million in just three days after its release, and the movie website opened soon after, with 8.2 points.

Years ago, "Time Is Like Fire" was broadcast on Golden TV, and it received acclaim, and Fang Fei's lines became a popular search.

The audience thought that his splash in the variety show a year ago was just a small area of ​​green leaves, but they didn't expect that after this short silence, Fang Fei performed better than the variety show and previous movies.

Zhou Chi's several clips are extremely popular on all major platforms, among which Fang Fei and Zhao Dali's rivalry scene has become one of the most popular clips in the early stage of "Time Is Like Fire".Entries about ideals have been hot searches for a long time, Fang Fei's infectious acting clips reached an astonishing tens of thousands of reposts, and received a wave of praise for "excellent acting skills", "dedication" and "responsibility for the work".

The resources that Tang Ao had accumulated for Fang Fei before that were continuously released, and several endorsements or cooperations under discussion were quickly finalized because of Fang Fei's positive image in "Time Is Like Fire"...

The number of fans and interactions on social platforms have grown wildly, the degree of discussion has skyrocketed, and hot searches are scattered all over the place, and there is no need for the studio to buy a special location.

Zhou Chi's role has not yet finished, and Fang Fei is already the most surprisingly popular niche this year.

The butterfly effect brought by the drama was beyond expectation.

The next day, Fang Fei was invited to the annual charity ceremony hosted by "WR" magazine.

After five years of depression after winning the best actor award, Fang Fei became famous belatedly.
