"Hey, is there anything to eat? I, my stomach hurts again."
When a woman's faint cry came from the speakers, Helian Bei was stunned.
Could there be a third person lying here? But when the camera swept across the entire room just now, he didn't notice it at all.
It was not until Helian Bei saw something like a quilt rolling at the door of the toilet that he was sure that there was a person lying there.
When the head showed up, it was Tang Yue.
However, Tang Yue looked much weaker than Su Yin. Her face was pale, her lips were purple, and her body was shaking uncontrollably.
Helian Bei frowned. What kind of movie is this?
At least for now, the tone seems to be rather heavy.
However, after taking a look at the introduction in the video synopsis, he discovered that the positioning of this film had changed from a promotional film to a new film sponsored and invested by New Humanity.
It seems that the new humans found that although the theme of the movie was not very suitable for publicity, the quality of the movie made them put their name on it without hesitation.
Helian Bei then turned his attention back to the movie itself. Tang Yue's appearance was much more contrasting than Su Yin's.
However, judging from her current performance, Tang Yue has fully supported this role.
Wang Xingrui, who had been nagging, sighed:
"I know! I know! This is bread from the convenience store next door, and it smells so good!"
When Wang Xingrui took out the bread from her black and torn schoolbag, Su Yin got up.
"It smells so good, give me some! By the way, where's Xiaolong? Isn't he with you?"
"Didn't he bring me this bread?"
Wang Xingrui sat down nonchalantly, "But when this kid got to the door, I don't know what happened, he just ran straight to the lawn."
"Why don't you follow?" Tang Yue skillfully divided the bread into four parts, handed one portion to Su Yin, and tasted it herself in small bites:
"It tastes really good! Xiaolong is only a few years old, and you dare let him run around alone!"
"Children from poor families have to grow up early! Besides, he is..." Wang Xingrui seemed to have thought of something and did not finish her words.
She wiped the corner of her mouth and continued:
"You should go to work tomorrow, right?"
Su Yin was half lying on the bed with only one leg exposed. She hummed, "I know! I'm afraid I'll die in bed one day."
Helian Bei's expression changed when he heard this line.
Oh my god, the roles Zhou Yi Yang gave this time are completely different from Moonlight Girl’s previous roles.
But he felt it was very exciting. This kind of marginal role can easily inspire the actor's acting skills.
Especially Su Yin's temperament and movements are all natural.
This kind of natural performance is totally at the level of a movie queen!
Tang Yue smiled bleakly: "I'm still here, right? When I die, you can divide my savings! Oh, by the way, I don't know if the insurance company will pay out..."
Helian Bei felt like his breathing was about to stop. Wasn't the amount of information at the beginning too explosive?
What made him even more amazed was that only a few dialogue shots were used to show the personalities, identities and predicaments of several characters.
Zhou Yiyang’s directing skills have improved again!
The one who applauded at home like Helian Bei must be Ning Mang.
As a fan of art films, he was not satisfied with the previous film "Chungking Express".
I always feel that Zhou Yiyang is still a bit restrained, and the processing techniques of commercial films can still be vaguely seen in the movie.
But now it’s completely different. Whether it’s the filters, the character settings or the entire shooting techniques, this movie is a complete art film.
Ning Mang felt his blood boiling as he watched. He even called a professional to ask:
"Can a short film like this be considered for the three major European film festivals? No, I'm not kidding. Go watch Zhou Yiyang's new film now. It's definitely worthy of a Best Film award!"
After he hung up the phone, he stared at the screen with red eyes.
That's right, he has now put himself into the role of the character in this movie, and suddenly feels that life is too miserable.
Is there really anyone living in such an environment?
What made Ning Mang, Helian Bei, and all the viewers of this movie even more upset was:
When Tang Yue spoke of her misery in such a relaxed tone, Su Yin and Wang Xingrui's reactions were extremely calm.
"Don't worry," Wang Xingrui grabbed Tang Yue's hand and said, "I will spend your money wisely for you."
"By the way, how much savings do you have?" Su Yin turned her head and asked, "I haven't saved much money over the years."
Just at this moment, a hurried knock on the door interrupted their conversation.
"Who is this? It's late at night!" Wang Xingrui yelled angrily, "We are all poor here, stop trying to sell us stuff!"
"It's me."
It was the voice of a little boy.
"It's Xiaolong." Su Yin stood up, covered her upper body with a towel, and went to open the door.
"This rain..." Su Yin was stunned before she could finish her words.
Because she saw there was another person behind Xiaolong.
"she is?"
Xiaolong came over carrying a girl who looked unconscious.
She is Lin Xuaner.
Ning Mang carefully observed the makeup of the four people and immediately caught the details:
"There should be some age difference between these four characters in the movie. Lin Xuan'er is the youngest, and she's probably just reached adulthood, so the difference between her and her usual attire is the smallest."
"Rui Rui and Xiao Xiao Su are supposed to be in their thirties. Whether it's their attire, the clothes they wear, or their temperament, they all resemble frustrated middle-aged people."
"I can't tell about Tang Yue, mainly because she looks too weak with the makeup. But judging by the plot, I think she should be older than all of them."
"This is interesting. Why would these seemingly unrelated people, including an underage boy, live together?"
"Is it really just a roommate?"
"Not to mention the name of the movie, 'Shoplifters,' which is really meaningful."
Ning Mang just thought the movie was extremely interesting and every detail in it made him excited.
This reminded him of the time when he watched those literary and artistic films by masters and analyzed them frame by frame.
Back to the movie, when everyone saw the girl, their first reaction was not to ask Xiaolong why he brought someone back, but they all got busy and started taking care of the unconscious girl.
Su Yin took a towel and wiped her body until her eyes fell on several obvious scars on Lin Xuaner's arms, which looked like cigarette burns. Then this woman who had been indifferent since her appearance finally frowned.
But she didn't say anything. Instead, she took out her own clothes and silently helped Lin Xuaner change them.
