Back to my home, it seemed a bit deserted at this time, but fortunately Lin Youmin has gotten used to it, when his and Park Xiaomin's new home is decorated, and Ning Meng and Xu Meila's family move in, it will be much more lively Alright, Lin Youmin was looking forward to it.

Walking up to his desk, where stacks of papers and materials were scattered, Lin Youmin couldn't help grinning helplessly. This is his problem, and he rarely spends time at home, so unless there are guests, Otherwise, he generally doesn't like to clean up. He may throw away things like this kind of score, adapted scripts, and learning materials.

Quan Baolan has now moved to T-ara's dormitory, so naturally she will not continue to live in Lin Youmin's house.

Suddenly, a file folder attracted Lin Youmin's attention. He carefully pulled out the file folder from a large pile of materials, and smoothed out the folds on the top. On the cover, there were several names written in Korean. —The mortician.

Lin Youmin suddenly remembered, and suddenly realized, isn't this when he went to Cannes, met Yojiro Takita and Kaoru Koyama, and then suddenly became interested, and got a script?

It's just that after getting the script, he was busy with the Cannes Film Festival, and then he was preparing for Park Hyomin's birthday. For a while, he forgot about the script of "The Undertaker".

Looking at Xiaoshan Xuntang, he was still thinking of himself, afraid that he would not understand, so he chose a Korean version ingeniously, and even those who had to use the original Japanese because of the expression of words and sentences were specially marked for Lin Youmin.

It has to be said that Xiaoshan Xuntang was very attentive and sincere, which made Lin Youmin somewhat embarrassed, so he moved a chair, and while he was free, Lin Youmin calmed down and carefully Flipping through the script of "The Undertaker".

From the perspective of a novice mortician, "The Undertaker" observes various deaths and gazes at the loving people around the dead.Everyone will have a time of "giving someone away" and "being given away". This is the most common theme about "people". It describes the story of a couple, showing friendship, family, love, work Dignity and so on.Amidst laughter and tears, the story of a mortician will lead the audience to experience all the true love in the world.

The so-called mortician is the person who takes the body of the deceased for the last journey. His work includes beautifying the body, changing clothes, entering the museum, etc. This kind of occupation is kept at a distance by many people. Needless to say, the main character Kobayashi Dawu realized a lot of truths as his name suggests, and fell in love with this profession.

One of the top three things that Lin Youmin hates the most is: talking about life perception, but what "The Undertaker" wants to talk about is the life perception about life and death, so I read "The Undertaker" for the first time. "When writing the script, it really gave him a headache.

It's not that Lin Youmin has so much experience and wisdom that he disdains these things.

It’s just because he has always felt that the only difference between people is birth and death. As for the intermediate process, he believes that no two lives are exactly the same, and it is precisely because of this difference that people have the so-called meaning of life.

Compared with the empty perception of life that cannot be copied, Lin Youmin is more willing to have a deeper understanding of the warm details full of humanism in this script that deeply attracted him.

When I heard the name "The Undertaker" from Takita Yojiro, I didn't think much of it, it was just out of interest in this special profession, but now it seems that Lin Youmin is very glad that he didn't miss such a script .

After reading it, I feel like finding an out-of-print old book that I long for but can't find at a roadside book stand. In the quiet touch, there is still clear thinking. You must know that in this era of flooded commercial blockbusters, can you Doing one of those two things is pretty amazing.

The movie hasn't been shot yet, but just from the sub-shots in the script, Lin Youmin has already realized many things, what is a good script, this is a good script.

The story is a very ordinary story, and the person is also a very ordinary person. Just because he has done an extraordinary job, everything becomes different.

People are prejudiced from birth, and people who live in groups will fix this prejudice, which is a taboo.

Although death is an inescapable destination for human beings, almost all people are taboo to talk about it, let alone take on this work in person.

Dawu, the protagonist who turned from a failed cellist to an embalmer, was also discriminated against and misunderstood by people without exception. His former friends, wife who had been in love with each other, and even the relatives of the deceased thought it was a shameful thing. Work, they chose to stay away from him without exception.

This is exactly the sad part of human beings. For things they don’t understand, they habitually choose to obey the traditional views. They are never willing to change their positions to feel others, and only when things happen to themselves do they suddenly realize.

For a long time, the education and values ​​of this world have only taught people how to understand the world and how to fight while they are alive. It has never talked about what will happen to people after death, and it is precisely this issue that is crucial to people.

"The Undertaker" achieves the ultimate in this point. As the last journey of a person in the living world, the process of encoffining is the ultimate concern for this life-and-death relationship.

In the storyboard script, as the protagonist of the mortician, every step from wiping face, changing clothes, combing hair, and makeup is done to perfection. To use Dawu's lines in the script, it means: Be gentle and leave the most beautiful face of the deceased at the last moment , leave with dignity.

The protagonist Kobayashi Daigo in the script realizes the truth, which is also the theme Yojiro Takita intends to express.

What surprised Lin Youmin even more is that the themes contained in this movie are so large and rich, including philosophy of life and death, family relationship between husband and wife, parent-child relationship, humanistic care, the meaning of life and so on.

And the clue content that runs through the stories behind these themes is Xiaolin's growth process after becoming an embalmer.

The life and death of a person is nothing more than whether a body carries life, and life is a very abstract thing.

Therefore, at first glance, the living and the dead are nothing more than being able to move and not being able to move. When a person dies, he may no longer have any meaning to himself, but he is tied to the feelings of the living.

Therefore, the last aspect is very important to the living. Looking at the descriptions in the script, every time Kobayashi and his president respectfully handle the corpse neatly and beautifully, it is the psychology of the relatives of the deceased. A comfort that cannot be replaced by other means.

Lin Youmin still remembers the script processing of several scenes. After the embalmer finished encoffining the corpse of an old man, the family members looked at the corpse as if they saw the old man fell asleep as usual, and even joked about the old man's body. Lipstick marks were kissed on the face of the deceased. Although the loss of a loved one is sad, it is a great comfort to see the comfort of the face of the deceased.

When the protagonist Kobayashi first became an embalmer, he knew it was a sensitive and controversial profession, so he kept it from his wife and neighbors what he did.

But as time goes on, this matter will be known sooner or later. When his wife Xiaolin Meixiang found out about this, she was extremely disgusted with the job of an embalmer, and went back to her mother's house in a fit of anger. Of course, the neighbors also treated Xiaolin differently. .

Under heavy pressure, the protagonist Xiao Lin did not give up his career as an embalmer. Perhaps at that time, he already understood that what he was doing was a sacred job.

At this point, the story is actually still developing. When he got his wife’s understanding, Lin Youmin turned over the script several times back and forth. He initially understood that the protagonist’s wife could understand him, precisely because she understood that the protagonist Xiaolin had the courage to work on it. In her eyes, the extremely "dirty" job is entirely for her to live happily.

One day after gaining the approval of the people around him through encoffining relatives in the neighborhood, Xiaolin suddenly received the news that his father who had abandoned him for more than [-] years had passed away.

After many persuasions, Xiao Lin decided to see his father for the last time. When he and Mei Xiang arrived at the scene, there happened to be two people from the funeral home who wanted to "simplely" dispose of Xiao Lin's father's body. At this time, Xiao Lin pushed them away.

His wife, Mei Xiang, explained, "My husband is an embalmer." When embalming his father's body, Xiao Lin found that his father was still holding a pebble in his hand before he died when he was a child.

Objectively speaking, this film is based on the premise of life and death to tell the story content, which belongs to a genre that is extremely difficult to interpret. Tell yourself: don't miss it.

But self-suggestion can't solve Lin Youmin's confusion about this huge topic, and he doesn't know if he can control it, maybe.

However, he believes that a movie made with such a script can definitely move many people. Just reading the script, Lin Youmin has already triggered such emotions, and even embarked on the journey to Japan without hesitation. Ben's plane, life and death itself is a subject that can sympathize with the audience.

Therefore, even if it is just a script, it is inevitable to be moved, but the essence of the film is to be able to express emotions to the fullest through life and death. Movies that move people everywhere.

Lin Youmin's expression froze slightly, as if a strange thought was breaking through the confinement in his heart, breaking through—it was the desire for performance.

His fingers lightly stroked the slightly rough paper surface of the script, and he suddenly fell in love with the script, and he couldn't restrain it.

Sighing to himself, Lin Youmin picked up the phone and dialed a number, "Brother Encan, help me prepare a ticket to Japan." (To be continued.)
