The Creator of the Second Dimension

Shui Wa has recently opened her eyes.

He was born in a water-scarce mountain village in central China. Because of his yearning for water, his parents gave him the nickname Shuiwa, and his first name was Song Wangmiao.

Shuiwa is twelve years old this year and is about to go to the county to study in junior high school, but when May is approaching, a group of people come to the town.

The men wore city shirts, jeans, sunglasses and, more importantly, a lot of camera equipment on their backs.

For young people in villages and towns whose mobile phones are still low-end knock-off phones and like to play various Internet pop songs, the arrival of these people undoubtedly represents a kind of longing.

"Someone is coming to make a movie!"

Such rumors spread wildly in the small town. On the first day the filming crew arrived, a lot of people gathered downstairs in the hotel where they stayed. With a little dream in mind, maybe I will be spotted by the director!

Sure enough, the person in charge of the reception in the hotel quickly found out that this was indeed a film crew, but there were not many celebrities who were familiar to everyone and could be seen on national TV. This news was a bit disappointing.

But immediately there is new news, that is, the crew will recruit extra actors here.

This made everyone excited again.

The recruitment of extras began soon, and Shuiwa came over curiously.

"What did you do in the past? What they want are villagers. What's the use of you as a child?"

The parents said, but they didn't stop Shuiwa.

But when he arrived at the scene, Shui Wa realized that there were many children around his age.

Growing up in the village, Shui Wa basically had contact with children of the same age, and among the interviewed children, there were many who he had never seen before. After asking for a while, they all came from neighboring towns.

And the reason why I have to travel so far to interview an extra is because of several roles.

According to the director's needs, in addition to ordinary village extras, three children are needed. As students, they not only have lines, but also play very important roles, which can be regarded as half of the leading roles.

Originally, Zheng Weijie and Xu Rui wanted to find those well-known child stars to act, so that the acting skills would be more guaranteed, but after asking several times, either the schedule was not suitable, or they did not want to go to the difficult environment of the mountain village to shoot. give up.

After slightly cutting the children's script, Zheng Weijie decided to use local children to play the role. This is a bold idea, not to mention that not everyone can perform freely in front of the camera, obey the scheduling and arrangements, and make a certain expression This requirement will stump a large number of people.

After interviewing several children, none of them felt good. Zheng Weijie felt worried for the first time.

He needed three boys and two girls, and there were options for girls, but boys couldn't find a suitable one.

Eleven or twelve-year-old boys are less mature than girls of the same age, and growing up in a relatively backward environment, they have no chance to get in touch with acting and the like, making it even more difficult for them to perform.

"Even if the squad leader can't do it, then no one can do it."

"Ah Shui, why are you here? Didn't you say that your parents won't come for you?"

"I sneaked out, hehe."

"Fourth, you just interviewed, what did they ask?"

"Just let me stand there and read a few words and let me cry."

"Ah? You still have to cry, it's so easy to squeeze your tears."

The children chattered and twittered, watching one after another of their peers walk into the reception room of the hotel, and then leave with disappointed expressions.

The number of people queuing gradually decreased, and Shuiwa bravely queued inside. By the time he arrived, many people around had dispersed.

"You came alone?"

After registering the name, Shui Wa entered the reception room, and the person who looked like the director was a little curious.

"I came alone."

Looking at the dark camera, Shuiwa couldn't help but feel a little nervous, but he is very courageous, so it's no big deal after he gets used to it.

"Read these few words."

The staff on the side handed over a piece of A4 paper with some lines on it.

After looking at it twice, except for a few words, Shuiwa had no idea what the words meant, but she still read it according to her own understanding.

".I know what it means, but I still feel that it doesn't make sense: I fought with Li Quangui at noon, and he beat my face so painfully, it swelled up, so the force is not equal. I must have suffered more than him. !"

".When one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object also exerts a force on the first object. The two forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction!"

"."

After he finished reading the last sentence, he suddenly realized that he seemed to be really reading the above text just now, and he seemed to have forgotten all about it. In Chinese class, the class representative always read the text like that. Shuiwa is very envious of having feelings.

Bad bad bad.

Shui Wa suddenly felt that her performance just now was terrible, who would like such a flat tone.

He wanted to ask for a re-reading, but the director quickly let him go, probably because he was not satisfied with Shuiwa's performance.

When they got home, their parents didn't ask much, they just urged Shuiwa to help feed the chickens and pigs at home.

Shuiwa's mood was depressed for a day, and the next morning, he was the carefree and happy boy again.

However, on the third day, Shui Wa received an unexpected notice.

That's why he was chosen to be one of the actors in this movie, and an actor with lines!

Shui Wa felt that she was dreaming.

The shooting started soon, considering the children's learning problems, so their scenes were filmed on weekends. In fact, Shuiwa thinks that these scenes are very simple, just go to class, and sometimes talk to the actor's uncle.

He found that everyone's speech was similar to usual, and they didn't have the kind of emotion that the Chinese teacher required. After figuring this out, Shuiwa had almost no burden.

As the filming progressed, Shuiwa had another question.

What is this movie about?

After filming with the crew for more than half a month, Shuiwa felt that what she was filming was rural life, but it seemed that it was really just rural life.

Although the title of the film is "Country Teacher", it's not really just about rural teachers, is it?

And judging from the scene where Shuiwa participated, the story seems to have no plot. It is a story of a rural teacher who suffers in the village but is unwilling to give up the children, and finally devotes himself to the end. Although it is very touching, it always feels a bit short.

The filming ended in June, and when Shui Wa and others were on vacation for the summer, the film crew also left the village.

For Shuiwa, the filming is over.

But for Zheng Weijie, the real shooting has just begun.
