2004 remote village
“Sleeping in spring without waking up, hearing birds singing everywhere……”
The neat reading voice brings out the tenderness and youthfulness of children who have not yet fully grown up. The not-so-standard Mandarin has a sincere simplicity..
Ma You stood behind the podium, with fourteen children sitting directly in front of him. In this small village that relies on mining for a living, this group of children is the only one in the entire third grade. Even so, compared with other grades, , this is quite a lot; due to the living environment, children's cheeks and nails are always dusty, and it seems that they can't be cleaned no matter how much they are washed, but the dust cannot cover up the joy and joy shining in their eyes - —As long as they can study, this is enough to make them happy every day. Going to school is the happiest thing for them every day..
Choosing to come here to support teaching, Ma You was mentally prepared. Although the actual situation was still more difficult than imagined, she still met every day's challenges with high energy. Looking at the energetic faces in front of her, she seemed to be able to breed Showing the infinite strength to continue to persevere.
Among the many difficulties, there is only one thing that Ma You cares about: there is no cinema here. This is really uncomfortable for Ma You, who is a movie fan. Of course, she can choose to watch it through resources on her computer - as for There is no need to complain about the speed of the Internet here. Now that she can connect to the Internet, she must express her gratitude; but she still hopes to watch the movies released in theaters in the cinema..
A little box office, this is the greatest contribution as a movie fan. She will not shout slogans or follow her idols all over the world. She will buy movie tickets in person to show her support for those works and those actors and directors. This is why she silently loves movies. way.
Today, Ma You's attention is a little unfocused, because "Interstellar" is released.
To this day, she still can't forget the complicated emotions of watching "Transcendence" for the first time - she didn't like the movie, but she can't forget it. She can't forget the helpless and dazed eyes of the children in the movie, and she also Can't forget Renly's sad and desperate performance.
For a long time after watching the movie, as long as she closed her eyes, the last scene in the movie would appear in her mind: Henry's eyes in the desolate ruins. Edgar Allan Poe's poems burst out with a soul-shaking power.
This was the biggest reason why Ma You chose to come to teach. Later, she looked through all Renly's movies, one after another, and almost greedily enjoyed all the works, including "The Pacific War", except "Transcendence" , her favorite is undoubtedly the "Drunken Country Ballad". The image of the frustrated folk singer is exactly her description of her dream - not beautiful, but the stupidity that still refuses to give up in the midst of bitterness, that kind of stupidity Foolish persistence is becoming increasingly insignificant in contemporary society. Fortunately, you can still find people who persist in life..
“When "Interstellar" was confirmed to be released in China, Ma You began to look forward to it - Christopher Nolan is also one of her favorite directors. It cannot be regarded as a fanatic, but Nolan can indeed bring different things to commercial movies. , which is why she always looks forward to it.
Renly came to Shanghai to promote the movie. She couldn't go there in person to express her love, but at least she could donate a movie ticket..
However, being in a remote mountain village, this is really not an easy task..
Ma You heard about the uproar and disturbance that started in the early hours of yesterday morning from her friends, but she needed to visit her home yesterday, and then she came back and started preparing lessons again. Furthermore, she had to adjust her work time to watch a movie today, so she didn't have time to understand it in detail..
To her, the hustle and bustle that happens on the Internet is like the Arabian Nights of One Thousand and One Nights. They are just stories. Just listen to them. Anyway, no matter what, she will support Renly and " "Interstellar", it's that simple.
The gap between the virtual space and the real world is divided into two completely different worlds in this small mountain village in a remote mining area. Ma You's life is simpler, more realistic and purer. As for those traffic stars and those negative news, she has no time. She has no energy to care. Her little preference for movies is just her yearning for the future and life, nothing more..
It's already the fourth class in the morning. It's time. Where is her companion?？
Ma You turned her head and looked out the window - this was the third time in five minutes, because she was worried that if she postponed it again, she might not be able to make it back in the evening, and the figure of her companion appeared..
Ma You did not interrupt the children's reading aloud, and left the classroom quietly. He thanked his teaching companions repeatedly, and then trotted away from the campus. Behind him, his companions laughed and joked, "Remember to help." Let me see if there are any posters." Ma You didn't look back. He just raised his right hand and made an "OK" gesture. Like a rejoicing bird, he rushed out of the campus gate on tiptoes..
Renly, here she comes！
Hurrying slowly all the way, Ma You finally ran to the entrance of the village, got on the bus he planned, and drove towards the town - the distance from the village to the town is actually less than two kilometers, and you can also reach it on foot. Usually, the residents of the village make a special trip to the town to buy daily necessities, and the same goes for the market day once every three days; but because they are all mountain roads, the bumpy and muddy roads are still not easy to walk, so it is more convenient to take the bus back and forth. relatively safe.
After arriving at the town, Ma You took the shuttle bus again and went from the town to the county seat. It was a thirty-minute drive. A section of the road near the county seat had been paved with asphalt, making it very convenient to drive; but the road construction project was unknown. The reason is that only one-third of the construction was completed and then temporarily shelved. It has not been completed yet. This also makes a section of the road near the town still a dirt mountain road. Occasionally, you can see young men herding cattle and driving tractors. of farmers.
At this moment, Ma You had time to take out his mobile phone and reconnect with the world..
The heated thirty-six hours have slowly settled down, and the residual heat is still surging, but the context of the whole thing has become completely clear..
Only then did Ma You know that the fan meeting this morning had once again created a sensation.——
Inside the meet-and-greet, Renly, Anne, and Nolan spent a wonderful hour with the fans, discussing Renly's mischievous instincts on the set, sharing Renly's experience in establishing a father-son bond with the two young actors, and making complaints. Nolan's strictness and rigidity on the set, sharing the behind-the-scenes of Renly and Anne's scenes... and so on.
The climax of the whole scene undoubtedly came from Renly: he recited Wang Bo's "Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng" on the spot. The gorgeous and beautiful vocabulary, elegant and moving intonation gave this classic parallel prose a unique The charm and skills were eye-opening and aroused cheers and screams from the audience..
In the history of foreign actors coming to China to promote movies, this is definitely a pinnacle, a pinnacle that cannot be surpassed or replicated! Even the host almost dislocated his jaw at the scene.
Outside the meeting, more than 5,000 movie fans lingered for a long time, unwilling to leave. Even though they could not line up to enter, they still could not take a step forward. They seemed obsessed with hoping that they could hear some noise outside the venue. Or maybe meet Renly after the meet-and-greet, or even worse, I hope to be able to communicate with the fans who participated in the meet-and-greet..
The most important thing is that they are eager to show their support and aid to Renly through their own practical actions.——
It can be seen from the photos and videos sent back from the scene, "Master, China will always welcome you", "Please be sure to visit Magic City again", "We will always support you", "This is your third hometown", "Please believe that we support you" You really mean it." "Ignore the haters." "We really love you.”……
The turbulence caused during the past period has caused repercussions on a global scale. Renly can't help but know that not only Renly, but also countless other filmmakers have seen it. If they bid farewell to the Chinese market forever , that is definitely a huge loss. Now, the fans are trying their best to save it, and their eagerness is shown without reservation..
Unfortunately, they still didn't get to see Renly.
After the fan meeting, Renly and his friends took a ride directly out of the back door and then accepted exclusive interviews with three media outlets at the Peninsula Hotel, which also announced the official end of this Chinese promotional trip..
When Ma You took a ride to the county seat, Renli and his party were also heading to Pudong Airport. She also saw the photos on Weibo from the airport expressway and shook her head slightly. Less than thirty-six hours have passed, and the lesson has not been learned yet. Ma You has returned to his old ways again. Ma You can't tell whether he is a fan or a black man. Is this really okay?？
Different thoughts were surging in her mind, but in the end all the thoughts were about "Interstellar". As long as Renly was willing to continue acting, she was willing to continue to like it. Don Quixotes always use their own The most important thing is to stay by Renly's side and use her own defense to stick to her beliefs in life. Now, all she can think about is "Interstellar", thinking that she will be able to see it in the cinema soon. This work, Ma You couldn't help but feel excited..
People always complain about the difficulty and pain of life, and it seems that they can't find any fun at all, but in fact, those small happiness are hidden around them, just like a movie, or the little things they like. It's enough to light up a ray of light in the darkness. The only difference is whether you calm down and look for it.？
Ma You is glad that he found it.
Then, the county seat was arrived, but the long road was still not over. She still needed to transfer from here to the city..
