Chapter 543

The life of Bronx is full of challenges everywhere; The life of a tramp in the Bronx is even more dangerous.

Before deciding to experience the life of the Bronx as a tramp, Langley actually considered other options.

One is that according to the setting of the "detached" male protagonist, Lan Li takes the school as the experience place. Instead of becoming a teacher, he just needs to enter the school and observe the students as a spectator, which is enough; Another is to move to the Bronx for a period of time, not only in the two weeks before shooting, but also in the whole shooting process, which is really integrated into the daily life of the whole area.

Considering that Henry is not a tramp, but an authentic teacher. These two schemes are closer to the role, relatively safer, and, most importantly, simpler.

This time, however, it was different.

Lanli is not experiencing the life of the character, nor is he trying to figure out the role by means of methodology or experientialism; What Langley needs is to observe as a spectator and integrate into the life of the Bronx as an ordinary person. From this perspective, instead, he needs to get rid of Henry's role itself and the desperate and painful state of the role, and feel the living state of the local residents in a more objective, subjective, vivid and close way, Especially teenagers.

This is one of them. In addition, there is a more important thing to take into account.

"Speed and passion 5" is in full swing. It is still the most outstanding work at the box office so far. Posters of the film are all over the streets. Which block next to the cinema is still hanging a single poster of lanli. It appears in the original appearance of "lanli hall", which will more or less attract some attention. If there is a riot, it will further deviate from the original intention, disrupt the pace of life of the residents and cause unnecessary trouble.

Although Langley is not a top star like Tom Cruise, he is not a nobody.

After comprehensive consideration, lanli still chose the vagrant lifestyle. He knew the difficulties and challenges he was going to face, as well as the consequences and influence of his choice. However, after the uproar in the past, surrounded by the media spotlight, lanli was full of desire for performance. In his mind, he revived all the experiences of "anti-cancer me" shooting, that hunger and thirst, Driving blue Li can't wait to put into the preparation work of "detachment".

The excitement and expectation flowing in the blood are blazing.

Even with psychological preparation and infinite expectation, the real life of Bronx is far beyond imagination and gives a heavy blow to lenley.

Five days ago that night, he successfully occupied a place in McDonald's, curled up on the sofa by the window, and fell asleep. In the middle of the night, he was awakened by a fragmentary sound. Looking at the dark blue scene outside the window, he was vaguely looking for the source of the sound.

Then, he saw the gunfire in the night, just like a firework, but it didn't look gorgeous at all, just a fist size one, fleeting.

The sound is different from that heard in the movie. It is as dull as a heavy hammer. Even a random "bang bang" sound does not cause any waves. It is like a huge stone sinking into the sea. It is not like a shot that can take a fragile life.

It's not powerful, it's not grand.

There was a random sound, and then it fell silent, like a ship sailing on the sea in the middle of the night. Water wave Cen Cen, but the night is quiet. Everyone knows that something happened, but in front of the calm can not see any waves, so uneasy waiting.

One minute, five minutes, the passage of time seems to have lost its meaning, and then I saw two black people running in a hurry, covered with blood, with large pieces of plasma on their cheeks, hands and clothes, just like a lost dog, rushing away. The figure just quickly passed by the door of McDonald's and disappeared in the rich night, as if it had never appeared. But Langley knew that he was not dazzled.

That night ended like that, with a sense of tiger head and snake tail; But the next day, Langley saw the news, "there was a gang fight in the Bronx, seven people died and 14 people were injured." It was not until then that Langley really understood the Bronx.

In this area, which seems to have nothing to do with Manhattan, no one cares about the future, no one cares about dreams, no one cares about freedom, and no one cares about the meaning of life. Survival is their most important task. It's not just the warmth of the night, it's not just the fullness of the next meal, it's a real threat to life.

After all this, looking at the street girl just now, life seems to become tender in an instant. The tenderness hidden in the rough and brutal reveals a piercing cold and indifference.

Lanli can't imagine what it is like to live in such an environment, and what it is like to grow up in such an environment. Every time hope comes up, it is snuffed out and suppressed. As for hope, it never exists. However, the fresh and young souls are full of holes and vicissitudes, and even go a step further than the two generations of Lan Li.

It's just that they didn't settle down after a lot of tempering. They died before they had time to work hard and look forward to it. It's a group of children who can't be called "men and women". It's a group of teenagers who haven't seen the whole world yet. It's a group of blind people who don't have the ability of self judgment. It's a group of young souls who rush left and right but can't find their way out.

In the United States, the black crime rate has always been high, so the white middle class began to blame the black people for their lack of education, discipline and organization, which also led to a further increase in the proportion of racial discrimination, and even increased the shooting probability of white police in dealing with black cases.

In fact, this is a complex and serious social issue, which has an impact on economy, education, culture and historical inheritance. When the society refuses to give more tolerance, the growth environment of those black teenagers can not be changed, and then form a vicious circle, leading to the high crime rate. The Bronx is a typical representative.

Among them, the lack of education is undoubtedly one of the important links. With the lack of family education, the shift of school education and the neglect of social education, the young generation of black people are facing one round of confusion and loss. It's not just African Americans, but also Latinos, Italians and Asians living in the Bronx.

In the "detached" play, the real theme is not race. Tony and Carl enrich the students' racial elements, including Asian, Latino and African roles, but focus on the white people. The essential significance is to tell the profound impact of the gap between the rich and the poor and the lack of education on the young generation, as well as on the society.

It can even be understood that the school created by the script and the information conveyed by the characters are the enlightenment to the current situation of American education.

Lenley was a little lucky that he chose to be a tramp and contacted a real Bronx. At the same time, he was also in danger. The urgency and fear of hanging your head on your belt, and the cautious attitude of life step by step, are the most essential things.

He bundled up his clothes casually, wrapped the camera in it tightly, then carelessly threw it into the sack next to him, picked it up, stood up, and walked towards the intersection. Two or three young women began to appear on the opposite corner.

Women, the word is not accurate because they are girls. She is even younger than the girl who blackmailed. They look like they are only 12 or 3 years old. They may have just graduated from primary school.

But at this time, they were dressed up in colorful wigs, suspenders such as leopard print and plaid, with red and lemon shorts, black net stockings and riveted boots.

The young faces put on bad makeup, and then they happily accused each other of bad makeup. They took out the cotton pad, tried to wipe off the heavy makeup, and then re described it.

Lanli knew that they were all young prostitutes. Because they are under age, they can't go to bars or billiards courts and other fixed places to find customers. They can only wander on the streets, or take buses to find customers worthy of starting, or customers interested in them. The price of a night is not fixed at all. It could be fifty dollars, a sandwich or a punch and kick.

Looking at them, blue Li's eyes flashed a trace of heart can't bear. He's not a saint, he's not Jesus, but the moral bottom line is burning in his stomach.

"Why, are you interested?" An enchanting voice came from my ear. Turning around, I could see a young girl. With wheat skin and cascading black hair, it seems that they are Latino. They are about 14 years old. The face hidden under the heavy makeup is not very true.

The ambiguous eyes were seducing Lan Li. If it wasn't obvious enough, her right hand was feeling Lan Li's arm as if it were nothing, which was direct enough.

Lan Li couldn't help but feel a burst of absurdity. How desperate she was to find the tramp. Of course, Lan Li also knows that many tramps actually have a little family background. It's OK to go whoring.

"Are you sure the base of the left eye is thick enough?" Blue Li rips hoarse voice, disdain ground says. Beneath the foundation is a bruise. After that, Lan Li ignored the little girl and dragged her sack across the zebra crossing under the traffic lights.
