College graduate Bai Xuemei followed two "medicine merchants" to the mountains to collect medicine. The next day, she woke up at a farmer's house and her money and documents disappeared.

This family spent 7 yuan to buy her as her daughter-in-law, and the 7 yuan she spent more than ten years saving for the 4-year-old bachelor.

The opening of "Blind Mountain" is very concise and plain, without musical preparation. The camera is as simple as ever, and it exudes coldness and hardness like a documentary.

This is Li Yang's usual attitude. He doesn't like to wrap the movie with too much emotion. When the picture calms down, the heat inside will naturally burst out.

When filming "Blind Well", he was interfered too much by Chu Qing, and this time he finally got his wish.

On the morning of the 24th, hundreds of people were packed. Western audiences were very novel about the theme of trafficking in women, but ten minutes later, they found that they couldn't bear to watch it.

Bai Xuemei was tied to the house, and "husband" Huang Degui invited the villagers to drink outside the house. He even said the toast words: "Whoever doesn't drink this wine will be a bachelor's life, and his son and grandson will be a bachelor's life, and he will still be a bachelor's life in the next life!"

What I was even more afraid of was that there were a few children standing by the window and looking at Bai Xuemei struggling on the kang.

In the first few nights, Bai Xuemei drove the short Huang Degui out of the door, but the man failed to make it. This made him unable to raise his head in the village, and even the honest old father scolded, "You can't handle a woman!"

So that day, my father and mother helped hold Bai Xuemei down and asked her son to do it. After that, Huang Degui sat happily next to his father, and his father also handed a cigarette with approval.

Although the old mother knew that this was wrong, she knew that 7 yuan could not be spent in vain.

Law and morality are not worth a penny in their hearts. They have their own reasons and confidence, just like Huang Degui yelled: "When in the jail, who will not spend money on marriage with a wife!"

“…”

The whole audience was silent. I have to say that Li Yang arrested him very accurately. Do you know that those farmers are illiterate and ignorant of the law? But they still have uncontrollable anger.

Next, Huang Decheng, who was a teacher in a village primary school, appeared. He was Huang Degui's cousin and one of the few educated people. He sent Bai Xuemei a few magazines to relieve her boredom. He seemed to care about his sister-in-law very much.

The audience was looking forward to a turning point, but soon after, Huang Decheng got Bai Xuemei's body in the name of rescue. All the knowledge he had more than the villagers was used in more shameless behavior.

Not only that, many seemingly kind people appear one after another, such as tax collectors and postal couriers.

The tax collector looked at Xuemei who was photographing the window and calling for help and said, "This is a family matter, we can't control it." He turned around and took Huang Degui's various miscellaneous taxes, saying, "Brother, you are very lucky."

The postman was just as polite to anyone. He accepted the old hen given by Huang Degui and handed Xuemei's letter of help to the other party. Huang Degui said he would bother you, but he said it was not easy for you.

Later, Bai Xuemei finally used her body as her capital and exchanged fifty yuan for the convenience store owner. The boss bargained with him until forty, but she took the money, but still didn't run away.

She ran away again and again, and the audience was expecting again and again, and this expectation was finally destroyed again and again.

Even if the police came and took out their guns, they could not stop the siege of the villagers. Huang Degui fiercely asked the police to hold the guns at him, constantly shouting, "Fight at this! Fight at this!"

At the end of the video, Xuemei's father found this place. He was beaten by Huang Degui. Bai Xuemei finally picked up the kitchen knife and chopped down at Huang Degui.

The next second, the screen is black, and the end.

"call……"

After about half a minute, Gong Li recovered from her suffocation and let out a long breath. Looking around, everyone's expression was very depressing, as if her heart was blocked.

It was not until the host came on stage to liven up the atmosphere and Li Yang and others waved their hands to greet each other that everyone burst into strong applause and cheers. Then there was a media interview and a Q&A with the audience. Li Yang first talked about his original intention and process of shooting:

"I always think that Chinese characters are great. When you look at the word "blind", it does not mean that the eyes are blind, but that the eyes are dead. These are two concepts. Why is a woman sold to a place? Everyone knows, but she just can't escape. The movie discusses this issue and discusses the spectators."

"Last year I went to Jintang and Zhongjiang for an interview, which was a frequent area for women's trafficking. In the past, some rescue operations were charged, and each person had to charge 12-15 yuan, but the department could not charge, and they were charged in the name of these auxiliary police."

"Those women who have been abducted and trafficked are usually unwilling to be interviewed... Most of the people who have been rescued don't want to go home because it is embarrassing and even look down on their homes. Some go out to work, and some even go back, but they can't get married anyway."

“…”

Everyone was a little stupid, but they didn't expect that reality was more cruel than the movie, so it presented a very strange scene, without a lively communication atmosphere, just a calm and restrained question and answer.

"We all know that "Blind Well" has not obtained a release permit so far. Will "Blind Mountain" repeat the same mistake?" asked a foreign reporter.

"In fact, before coming to Cannes, "Blind Mountain" had passed the review of the Film Bureau."

Li Yang thought about it and continued: "I think the current system is more advanced than before. At least we can communicate with each other instead of simply ordering you. For example, there are several places where they asked me to modify it, but I said I couldn't change it, because of what the reason... They said, Oh, then I won't change it."

"If "Blind Mountain" can be released, do you have any expectations for its box office?" asked another domestic reporter.

"Uh, there must be, but I also know it won't be very high. When I was filming in Shaanxi County, I went to a video store. I asked if I had sold "Blind Well". The boss said that it was very popular and could have thousands of photos. I loved and hated me at that time. I hated that our boss Chu didn't get a penny, and that he loved that the mass base was laid."

"Ha ha!"

Everyone finally smiled, followed by Fang Yimin from Nandu, and asked a very practical question:

"The theme of "Blind Mountain" is cruel. Are you worried about falling into the public opinion stalemate of "giving family ugliness for outsiders to see"?"

"Oh no, I'm not worried at all."

Li Yang was justified and smiled: "If you think that the Chinese people have a bad image in foreign countries and are exposed by Chinese movies, it would be an exaggeration to its effect. Maybe it is because we are not confident and we are nervous if we say something in our movie."

Finally, the reporter of "Variety Show" ended and asked: "Do you feel regretful that Chu did not serve as the starring role this time?"

Li Yang glanced at Chu Qing and joked: "I think he was still a very good boss when he was not the protagonist!"

…………

"Li Yang once again showed that he is a film master who creates screen tension." "Screen"

"This is a movie that has no exports. The ending of the movie is very successful, suddenly, amazing, and intense." "Variety Show"

"This film may have problems in technology and art, such as not organizing the plot more meticulously, it looks a bit loose and unreliable, nor does it create a depressing atmosphere like "Blind Well". But just taking this movie out is too illusory and too evident, it can show the director's heart that pays attention to the corners of the world." "Old Beijing News"

"Blind Mountain" has received praise from the media and the audience, and every screening will attract warm tribute.

Of course, domestic reports need to be more restrained, without mentioning the detailed content of the video and the ending of the overseas version. They are more interested in the news that Chu Qing awarded memorials because it is safe enough.

In comparison, Diao Yinan and "Night Car" were too hard and ended the Cannes premiere quietly.

In general, two of the three movies have been successful, and the probability is extremely high. Many filmmakers have come to inquire about the copyright status of "Midnight Kiss" and "Blind Mountain".

With Chu Qing and Descher in, the results of "Midnight Kiss" in France and even Europe are predictable. However, North America was a little difficult. Only one small company was very sincere and eventually took away the US issuance rights.

"Blind Mountain" is much more popular, with mk2, Baida and Gao Meng competing.
