Chapter 843 The Entertainment Industry, The Original Female Lead Killed by the Transmigrator (9)
The climax of the story, which is also the ending, is that heavy rains in the mountains caused a landslide. The village is located in the mountains, and when they received the warning, they prepared to evacuate.
However, it was too late. The road had been blocked by a mudslide, and people could only stay in the village, clearing the road and waiting for rescue.
Yang Qingrui, on the other hand, helped the village officials appease the villagers while continuing to teach the children, thus avoiding having any unfounded thoughts.
Unexpectedly, one morning the school was buried by rocks and earth that slid down, and some early students were buried inside!
She was both anxious and guilty. If she hadn't wanted to continue teaching the children, none of them would have been buried. In her desperation, she dug with her bare hands, thinking that the sooner she dug the children out, the greater their chances of survival.
When moving the stones, they were originally going to use some fake stones, but Xiao Yun suggested that they not change them and just use real stones, because fake stones would be too easy to expose their flaws.
She actually dug there with her bare hands, using an illusion to make her hands covered in wounds. Even the director couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to call a stop several times, but her assistant, Xiao Chen, whom she had instructed, stopped her until they had filmed enough and were ready to switch to the next shot.
The next part of the story is that she rescued the four students inside one by one. Although they were all injured, they were all still alive. She cried tears of joy and then collapsed into the ruins, exhausted.
Just as the parents who had been called to the scene were carrying their children to the village doctor for treatment, a tremor came from the ground, and another section of the mountain next to it collapsed, burying the school again. This time, Yang Qingrui, who was sitting paralyzed inside, was buried inside.
When everyone dug the person out, he was covered in blood from being hit by a rock and had already stopped breathing. The director gave a close-up of his hands, which were covered in blood blisters and cuts, making them look incredibly realistic without any makeup.
Yes, this film is a tragedy. There's no way around it; only tragedies are truly memorable, deeply moving, and more likely to win awards.
The entire plot contains no romance; it focuses solely on the brief experience of a female volunteer teacher, from her initial enthusiasm for the mountain village to her struggles to adapt to local life and her eventual sacrifice to save her students.
Of course, there are many details during this time, such as the interactions with students and villagers. It's easy to talk about, but what was captured on film were vivid scenes.
This summer, the director is very good at shooting this kind of film, and the visuals are both magnificent and simple.
Because Xiao Yun used some tricks, it was almost impossible to spot any flaws when she played the corpse later on set. In addition, her performance drew the villagers, who were also extras, into the role.
The children and elderly people who came later thought it was real and cried their eyes out, making this part look exceptionally authentic when filmed. Combined with the music added in post-production, it unsurprisingly won an award.
After filming was completed and approved, the film was submitted to the Red Peony Awards, the highest honor in China, for evaluation. After fierce competition, the film successfully won the Red Peony Awards for Best Film and Best Actress.
The news sent the entire crew into a frenzy, and Xiao Yun became the center of attention. On the day of the awards ceremony, Xiao Yun and the rest of the crew dressed up for the occasion, and when she stepped onto the stage to accept the trophy, thunderous applause erupted from the audience.
After winning domestic awards, she also participated in international competitions, where she was nominated and won Best Actress. In other words, this film earned Xiao Yun two Best Actress awards, making her an instant star.
The saying "fame brings trouble" is truly apt. When videos of her two award acceptance speeches were posted online, her past scandals were also dug up.
She instructed the company not to make any statements yet, as she was prepared. Only when the public opinion had fermented to a certain extent did Xiao Yun have the company produce evidence of certain people's dealings with online trolls, proving that the negative news was false, and incidentally promoting herself and the drama.
Despite winning awards, this film didn't actually make a profit. These kinds of films don't have high attendance rates in theaters and don't have much commercial value; they were purely aiming for awards.
The online uproar actually piqued the curiosity of many netizens, who were curious about what the award-winning film was like. As a result, they bought tickets to see it, which directly increased the box office several times over.
Of course, haters will always find something to criticize. Xiao Yun's appearance in this drama is much less attractive than before, so some people have brought up a previous role as a courtesan for comparison, claiming it's a before-and-after plastic surgery comparison.
A private cosmetic surgery hospital even used her work for advertising, which was then seen and posted online. This angered Xiao Yun, who instructed the company's legal department to contact the hospital, demanding that they cease the infringement and pay for the damages.
After attending the awards ceremony and celebration party, Xiao Yun planned to go home to spend some time with her parents and Xiao Yu. Yes, Xiao's parents had already rented out their land and moved to Beijing.
The film "Plum Blossoms Falling in the Mountains" was shot over half a year, as it required capturing scenery from different seasons; you really can't capture the right feeling without seeing the right scenery in those seasons.
Adding to the subsequent selection and award-winning events, it was already summer again.
Xiao Yu had already been formally introduced to his family. Before joining the crew, Xiao Yun took him back to his hometown to meet his parents.
