Chapter 191 Who is the sixth son
The plot of "Let the Bullets Fly" is not complicated, it mainly talks about a bandit and a bully.

But what makes Jiang Wen awesome is that he made a lot of metaphors in it, and even more than ten years later, it is still talked about by the audience.

For example, the master, the second child, the third child, the fourth child, and the fifth child all have clear character prototypes, but who are the six sons?

Jiang Yu really thought it was the sixth son at first, after all Zhang Mo and the sixth son look so much alike.

And both of them died extremely heroically.

A laparotomy for powder testing won the hearts of the people for Zhang Mazi.

The other died in Goryeo - the war he participated in, until 70 years later, is still alive.

But the scene filmed today made Jiang Yu feel that something was wrong.

After tossing in the watchtower for a month, the crew finally moved to the wild to start filming the funeral scene.

After Liuzi died, Zhang Mazi got him a monument—a wooden Liuzi, with a camera behind it, and several gangsters faced the camera and gave their speeches one by one.

Jiang Wen was standing on the top of the wall with a cigarette in his mouth. Jiang Yu leaned over and said, "I'm a little confused by your way of shooting."

"Why can't you figure it out?"

"Can actors speak directly to the camera?"

Jiang Wen took a puff of cigarette and said, "You will understand later."

"Tell me now, and I'll understand."

Jiang Wen smiled, turned his head and said, "You only know that actors can't look directly at the camera, because that will make the audience play, but you don't know that there is a special situation called breaking the fourth wall."

"Breaking the fourth wall? Talking directly to the audience?"

Jiang Wen didn't answer directly, and his voice was low: "You are a monk halfway, and I am also a monk halfway. We are not professional backgrounds, so we need to put more effort into many things, read more and learn more."

"Think about it slowly. It's not easy to find something you like in your life. It takes effort." He patted Jiang Yu on the shoulder, turned and left.

After getting along for more than a month, Jiang Wen basically felt the same about Jiang Yu's temperament.

This kid is smart and has a business mind, but he is also sincere, and he is a bit sullen in his bones. Simply put, he can deal with it.

But after all, he is young and rich, and his momentum is too fast.

The box office of the first movie in my life exceeded [-] million. It is inevitable that my mentality will swell, and I will gradually lose my awe of movies.

If you get it too easily, you will naturally not cherish it.

Jiang Wen wanted to tell him, Xiao Zei, you are still far behind.

"Three, two, one, Action!"

As soon as the scene was played, several actors came on stage one after another.

The first to play is the fourth and fifth children.

"Sixth brother, fourth brother swears to avenge you!"

"Sixth Brother, Fifth Brother swears to avenge you!"

Holding two roses in his hands, Jiang Yu walked up, bowed to the big "six", then took off his hat, supported Liu with both hands, and said to the camera:

"Sixth Brother, Seventh Brother swears to avenge you! Second Brother is drunk, he asked me to take the message, Second Brother swears to avenge you!"

After finishing speaking, he took a few steps back and stood aside. Liao Fan then came up, supported "Six" and said:

"Sixth brother, third brother swears to avenge you! The second brother is not drunk, he is angry! The eldest brother does not want everyone to work hard, even if they don't fight their lives, is it still a gangster? The eldest brother should not listen to him, the surname Tang is not good thing!"

Followed by Uncle Ge:

"Liu Ye, Huang Silang's trick is called killing without a knife, and the trick I gave your father is called killing people, you can't work hard, how can you make money if you work hard?"

Jiang Yu silently watched the two enter and exit, still remembering what Jiang Wen said about "breaking the fourth wall".

"Breaking the fourth wall" is a term in the theater world. A stage is composed of two sides and a back space, so the fourth wall is the invisible wall between the audience and the stage.

It's a transparent barrier that ensures the viewer sees everything without the characters knowing they're being watched.

Once the "fourth wall" is broken, the audience will withdraw from the immersive viewing experience and realize that everything happening on the stage is false.

Therefore, whether it is a drama or a movie, the "fourth wall" is rarely broken.

But there are exceptions.

Some unconventional directors like to play new tricks and directly talk to the audience by breaking the fourth wall...

Wait a minute, conversation?

Jiang Yu suddenly thought of something.

He tried to imagine himself as an audience, sitting behind the camera, and Jiang Wen was slowly walking in front of him, with a low tone and a sad face:

"Six sons, is earning money important to us? I'm not trying to kill people, I just haven't figured out a good way, I want to pull out Huang Silang by the roots, give me some time."

"Sixth son, father swears to avenge you!"

Jiang Yu suddenly realized in his heart that the six sons are the six sons, but it is not only the six sons.

Zhang Mazi's words were not only addressed to Liu Zi, but also to the audience!

In other words, the six sons are the young people of the future, and the young people who will watch movies in the future are the six sons who are full of enthusiasm and yearn for fairness and justice!
As for Zhang Mazi, his long-cherished wish in life is to uproot Huang Silang for the six sons!

After figuring this out, Jiang Yu looked at Jiang Wen again, and his eyes were different.

Old Jiang, Old Jiang, you are so fucking daring!

"Clean up your faces," Jiang Wen stood among the group of people, and said in a deep voice, "Master Liu, have a good journey!"

Jiang Yu and the others followed suit and said in unison, "Sixth Master, have a good journey!"

After a scene was filmed, everyone found a place to rest for a while, Jiang Wen continued to work and began to prepare for his wife's funeral.

Among Zhang Mazi's brothers, Ge Youka is the biggest, Jiang Yu is next, and the others are still unknown. Even Liao Fan, the future actor, is still waiting hard.

And in the crew, the salary is directly linked to the coffee position.

For example, Uncle Ge has a special reclining chair and assistants to serve him. As soon as he lies down, hot tea and towels are brought up.

Jiang Yu didn't have a personal assistant, but Jiang Wen arranged for a life assistant to take care of him on the set, who made him an investor.

The others could only find a pony clip and sit casually.

"Mr. Jiang, your tea is 72 degrees five, the temperature is just right," the little assistant thoughtfully handed over a thermos.

"Thank you," Jiang Yu waved his hand to let him back down.

"Lao Jiang, how is your "Donkey Gets Water"?" Ge You asked while lying down.

Jiang Yu said: "I called two days ago and said that the post-production has been completed. I guess I have to go back to Yanjing in two days to finalize the final version and send it for review."

"Well, you need some snacks for this movie," Ge You said, "Now the Berlin International Film Festival has started to select films, and we have to wait for the review to decide whether it succeeds or not. You can't make Lao Jiang's mistake."

"I understand," Jiang Yu nodded repeatedly.

What Uncle Ge was talking about was "The Devil Is Coming". This film hadn't passed the trial, Jiang Wen sent it to Cannes without permission, and was banned from directing for five years.

After Jiang Wen, no director dared to go to the tower again.

"Fuck, what are you two saying about me?"

Jiang Wen didn't know when he ran over, listened to it, snatched the thermos from Jiang Yu's hand, and took a few big gulps.

"Praise you for your talent," Jiang Yu said with a smile: "The more I think about this movie, the more I become afraid. You really want to be Lu Xun."

"What are you afraid of?" Jiang Wen asked.

"I'm afraid that the 1000 million I voted for will be in vain. I can understand the plot. Do you think the reviewers can't understand it?"

The sixth son died, Zhang Mazi killed Huang Silang, but the third brother took his brothers to Pudong, and the new Huang Silang suddenly appeared on the train. This is so brave that there is no bounds.

Jiang Wen laughed loudly, "I can even be Lu Xun, so I'm afraid I won't pass the trial?"

"Hey," Jiang Yu sighed faintly.

That's what he said, but he really admired this guy.

"Let the Bullets Fly" is really the only one of its kind in China. The insider can see the way, and the layman can enjoy watching it.

And the more I watched, the more frightened I became.

Forget it, let's just go crazy with this guy.

Jiang Yu stood up silently, took out a piece of seven cakes and put them on her face.

Who told him that he was also the sixth son.
