"And I was happy to see the stars take a picture, and in a flash the clouds were foggy." The wind blew the leaves and fell, and the mountains and forests roared. And I heard the mourning ape crying."
This is a passage in the traditional Kunqu martial arts drama "Night Run", and the movie I want to talk about today begins with this play
< h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > acquaintance</h1>
Wei Ying'er (Rene Liu) is a complete idiot, she is an English teacher at Yenching University, and her family is well-off. "Night Run" is her favorite play, and the drama garden "Yuntianlou" bought by her father satisfies her hobby, so that she can feel the warmth and coldness of the human feelings in the opera, and the joys and sorrows of the characters in the play.
Rongqingban's "Lin Chong Night Run" sang best, and Lin Chong, the pillar of the stage, often sang full. Ying Er knew by chance that the action on the stage was neat, and it was Lin Chong who sang movingly, and she was very happy. She is like a devout little fan, admiring this handsome Lin Chong on the stage, and even mixed with a little inexplicable love.
Ying Er has a fiancé, Xu Shaodong (Huang Lei), who went to the United States to study at the age of 8 and has only returned once now. Ying Er and Shao Dong are counted as the fate of their parents, and the two are right at home. However, unlike other relatively wordless arranged marriages, Ying Er and Shao Dong are confidants who talk about nothing, and they talk about music on the letters they exchange, except that Ying Er is talking about Kunqu opera, and Shao Dong is talking about Bach. The artistic connection made the two become the closest friends in each other's hearts, and the first time they met, it was like an old friend reuniting.
Shaodong brought Ying'er a crystal cello, and in return, she took Shaodong to see her favorite "Night Run". The noisy environment made Shaodong, who was accustomed to the opera house, confused, and because of the full seats on the day, the two could only sit on the threshold. Ying Er saw Shao Dong's discomfort and thoughtfully wanted to take him out, but she did not expect to be halfway there, and Shao Dong was "fixed" by Lin Chong's singing voice on the stage, and her inner voice was:
I don't know what he was singing, but I could hear the depression and grief in his chest, when thousands of troops turned into a drop of male tears, it was the sadness of being alone in the dark night, abandoned in the wilderness, I could understand... This self-proclaimed rational man was touched by another man on the stage at this time, only because of his "no support in this life" singing voice.
Ying Er introduced Shao Dong to Lin Chong, and the three of them got along like friends. Lin Chong taught Ying Er how to play the lottery and taught Shao Dong to play the flute. This boy who grew up in the drama class has no father and no mother, plays whatever role he calls, he is accustomed to using taciturnness to deal with the malice of the world, and has a gentle personality but is alienated from people.
Ying Er and Shao Dong drove Lin Chong out to play, chatting around the campfire and singing on the Great Wall. Lin Chong cherished these two friends, but "Miss Young Master" and "Drama", such an obvious class made him consciously keep his distance. But Shaodong told him that you are an artist, and you deserve a standing ovation from everyone after you finish the performance!
This sentence seems to be a startling agent, which makes two people fall into a different relationship.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > a snowy night</h1>
It is normal for Lin Chong to worry about the identity of his own drama, because he is always rewarded by rich children, and singing well means flattery. After becoming friends with Ying'er and Shaodong, he often ran out to play, forgetting his duty of "flattery". There was a gold lord named Jin Zilei who often held the scene, but whenever he wanted to get close to this pillar, he couldn't find anyone, and the class owner did not dare to offend people, so he beat Lin Chong hard.
The injuries on Lin Chong's body were discovered by Ying'er, and his first reaction was "don't let Shaodong know", but he couldn't say anything about the "dirty" reason for being beaten. One day, Shaodong and Huang Zilei met in the background, the two rich second generations did not let anyone, Shaodong thought that "Lin Chong has the right to go with whom", and Huang Zilei felt that "you are against me"! Up and down the drama class had to point to Lin Chong to eat, he had no choice, he had to compromise and follow Huang Zilei away.
Rong Qingban went to another theater to sing, and Lin Chong said goodbye to Ying'er. In the face of Ying'er's suggestion to "change the drama class", he said, "Where is not the singing of opera"? Yes, everywhere he went, he was singing opera, and moreover, bound by grace and righteousness, Lin Chong could not leave the master who was not good for him, but gave him a bowl of rice to eat.
Lin Chong did not say goodbye to Shaodong, he did not want to face such a parting. But the city was so small, they still met. Huang Zilei took Lin Chong out to socialize and ran into ShaoDong. The two people had not seen each other for a long time, did not suppress their emotions, and drove away from everyone in the car. On that day, Shaodong and Ying'er had made an appointment, and Lin Chong also had a rehearsal at night, and they had this impulse, Ying'er did not wait for her fiancé, and the drama team also opened a skylight.
The car drove to the wilderness, the snow fell one after another, and the two people after the "night run" were a little silent, but more entangled in the tension of "frankness". The temperature inside the car increased because of their mood, and Lin Chong plucked up the courage to hold Shao Dong's hand and slowly approach him. But Shaodong avoided it, and his identity, his circle, and his pride all shouted "no" in his head! To avoid embarrassment, he got out of the car to smoke, and when he turned back, he found that Lin Chong was gone.
< h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > after night run</h1>
Lin Chong ran back to the drama class overnight and started a high fever, but Master was still thinking about how to keep his throat, and even wanted to give up. Ying Er came to visit, and secretly mentioned something to the class owner, saying that without Lin Chong, the drama class could not find a good pillar for a while and a half. The class master had no choice but to try his best to heal Lin Chong.
Lin Chong, who was gradually recovering, got up one night and found the little master and disciple crouching in the courtyard, and when he went forward to inquire, he realized that the master had called another master and disciple into the room, and he was waiting. Lin Chong immediately understood what was going on, rushed into Master's courtyard, pulled Master off the bed, and loudly asked Master to get dressed and leave, and then said to Master with great hatred: "You still have to do a few more!" I fought for this life today to pay you back! Saying that he was dead and strangled Master's neck, he condensed all the humiliations and grievances he had suffered over the years into the strength of his hands, and by the time the rest of the drama team pulled him away, Master had already lost his breath.
Lin Chong eventually became the night running Lin Chong in the play, staggering to escape and throwing himself into the dark and cold night.
Before he left, he went to see Ying Er and told her to live a good life with Shao Dong. Ying Er was extremely aggrieved, she was not without feelings, she had long been aware of the ambiguity between the two people, but she did not want to lose her confidant and lover, so she had to endure it. But now Ying Er is also tired of being a microphone and resents their betrayal. But Ying Er is still a kind Ying Er, she gave Lin Chong all the jewelry that could be taken out, as well as the violin that Shao Dong gave, and hugged Lin Chong fiercely when he turned around - this time, it may be a farewell.
Shaodong still did not dare to face up to his love with Lin Chong, he proposed to Ying'er, but Ying'er did not agree, she said that she would rather he keep the little faith in his heart.
Shaodong fled back to the United States.
Later, Tianjin was occupied by japan, the YuntianLou was gone, and the drama team was gone. Ying'er, who saw Lin Chong again, learned that he changed his name to "Li Cong" and worked as a coolie on the dock. When he first escaped, Huang Zilei opened up all kinds of people to help him, but after the defeat of the Huang family, Huang Zilei was paralyzed, and in order to repay this loyalty, Lin Chong kept him until his death.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the last bravery</h1>
Ying Er gave Lin Chong the address of Shaodong in the United States, and the brave Lin Chong hid in an ocean-going ship to smuggle himself to the United States to find Shaodong, and as a result, the ship was half requisitioned as a cargo transport ship and drove to Europe.
Later, after the end of the war, Lin Chong was detained in the Immigration Bureau for illegal immigration. The situation was turbulent, the immigration bureau was slow to handle affairs, and Lin Chong was detained for two years in the hospital. A year after his death, Lin Chong's ashes and crystal cello were sent to Shaodong.
That night, Shao Dong turned around and got out of the car, and Lin Chong said goodbye to his life and death...
Ying Er and Shao Dong were finally married, and the couple who loved the same man did not sleep in the same dream, and their souls knew each other, like close friends. After Ying'er's death, Shaodong still maintained the habit of writing letters to her, perhaps this was the only way for him to confide in that secret relationship.
At the end, Shaodong confessed: Someone walked by me and asked me about three tombstones, and I said, one buried here is my wife, the other is my lover, I still decided to put you among us.
Lin Chong is unfortunate and has never been given the dignity of being a "human"; Lin Chong is lucky, he has received the love of three people, and he also has the courage to be impulsive for love. No one in this movie has been fulfilled, but it seems to have the best ending...
