Beside the flames, a group of coal miners so dark that only their eyes and teeth could be seen were roasting sweet potatoes around a haystack and boasting about their skills.
A pack of "Red Xinyang" cigarettes costing a few yuan a pack was passed around from one person to another, without any regard to how many mouths the cigarette had passed through, how many bacteria it had been contaminated with, and whether it might cause any disease.
They are not so particular about poverty.
Of course, being awesome is bragging about how awesome I used to be and how good I was at drinking...
While blowing, I couldn't help but talk about how pretty this woman is, which girl in the alley down the mountain is very attractive, which girl has long legs, looks pretty and coquettish, and made an appointment to go down the mountain to take care of their business, so that they don't have to worry about it.
Business is bleak...
They will even take advantage of the boss's absence to talk about the boss's sister-in-law or the boss's mistress.
Most of their words are vulgar, and they will even curse. Most of the curses are about female police officers and the like. Others will definitely frown and feel disgusted after hearing this.
but……
This is one of the few moments they have to vent in a day...
Digging coal is boring.
In the dark and deep mines, the work of putting life and death aside makes them very depressed.
If people don't vent their inhibitions, they will easily become depressed and have random thoughts.
In the dead of night, they sometimes feel homesick.
I miss my mother-in-law and my children...
If not forced by life, if not desperate, who would be willing to leave their hometown?
Their families are like flames, and they are like the burning haystacks here.
The thicker the haystack, the stronger the flame will burn, the higher the temperature, and the more fragrant the sweet potatoes will be when grilled.
Zhou Yang squatted in the crowd and looked at the group of people.
He does not stand out among these people, nor is he conspicuous...
They just thought he was a newcomer.
I just feel that this newcomer is a bit delicate and looks out of place in front of these rough guys...
Of course, this is not an important thing. Many young people who have just gone up the mountain will do this.
It'll be fine in a while.
A figure stood up, sat down next to Zhou Yang, and handed Zhou Yang a cigarette.
Zhou Yang didn't answer.
He doesn't smoke.
The figure didn't force it, but put the cigarette into the flame and started smoking by himself.
"Just arrived?"
"Um."
"graduated?"
"Just graduated from college."
"Oh, college students, why don't you just sit in the office and come here to work..."
"Make money by mining coal..."
"That's right, it only costs a few bucks a month to sit in an office..."
"..."
The firelight illuminated Zhou Yang's face.
He stared at the flames in trance.
The middle-aged man smoked a cigarette. After chatting with Zhou Yang for a few words and giving some instructions, he continued to roast sweet potatoes.
Zhou Yang learned that this person's name was Chen Shuangbao.
He is from Huizhou.
"The mine is open, the mine is open!"
"Dong dong dong!"
"The mine is open, the mine is open!"
"..."
A few minutes later...
A sound of gongs was heard from the shanty town not far away. After hearing the sound, these people immediately stuffed sweet potatoes into their mouths and rushed towards the distance.
The survey team has opened another mine, and they have to start work.
And Zhou Yang also followed these people...
…………………………
the next day.
Feng Kai slept until ten o'clock in the morning.
After walking out of the room, he stretched and felt very good at this moment, which had been gloomy for several days.
The bright sunshine brought a sense of warmth. The annoying Zhou Yang didn't know where to go. At the same time, the eye-catching broken van outside the yard also disappeared.
This feeling is really comfortable and quite pleasant.
but……
After waiting until seven o'clock in the evening, Zhou Yang did not come back...
Only then did he vaguely feel that something was not quite right.
Zhou Yang is missing!
Those staff members are also missing...
Where did they go?
Feng Kai took out his cell phone and called the person in charge, Qian Wei.
Unfortunately, Qian Wei's phone keeps prompting that the user is not in the service area.
He called other people, but got the same response, saying he was not in the service area.
This made him start to feel a little uneasy.
As time passed, this feeling of uneasiness became stronger and stronger.
He found that Liu Tingting, who had just moved in, was also missing. It seemed that apart from leaving her luggage in the hotel, she had not stayed in the hotel at all.
Huge hotel.
Zhou Yang was a little panicked!
What on earth were these people doing?
He waited in the hotel all day.
I waited until twelve o'clock in the evening.
Qian Liang's phone call finally got through.
"Where have you been?" Feng Kai's voice was a little urgent.
"Going to the mountains."
“What are you doing on the mountain?”
"I was invited by the coal boss to shoot a group of photos and videos in the mountains... I saw that you were sleeping soundly, so I couldn't bear to wake you up. Well, I originally thought that it would only take half a day at most, but I didn't expect that I stayed up until midnight.
, If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have come up..."
"ah?"
"..."
A few minutes later.
The film crew returned to the hotel.
Everyone looked tired.
They were tortured.
Feng Kai looked at them and always felt that something was missing.
After everyone came in, he realized that Zhou Yang was not there.
"What!"
"What did you say? That guy went to dig coal with the workers?"
"..."
"What! Are you really going to dig coal?"
Feng Kai's eyes widened and he felt his head buzzing!
Damn it!
What the hell is this guy doing!
……………………
if……
If Feng Kai is given another chance.
Feng Kai would probably refuse to come to this place, or even agree to shoot this movie.
pity.
There is no regret medicine in this world.
He thought the movie would be shot quickly.
He originally thought that Zhou Yang, a layman, could just film casually and get used to being a director!
but……
He didn't expect Zhou Yang to be so cruel!
It seems that in order to make the shooting more authentic, he actually went to dig coal himself.
and!
It’s not just one day of digging, it’s two days of digging!
This digging took a week!
Is this person crazy?
During this week, he and the filming crew seemed to be an abandoned group, hiding in the hotel all day long staring at nothing.
What's even more deceiving is...
He didn't know Zhou Yang's mobile phone number at all, or in other words, Zhou Yang didn't have a mobile phone at all!
Time has arrived in late November in the blink of an eye...
The weather is getting colder and colder.
Especially in the mountains, the biting cold is simply despairing.
Is this madman finished?
On the morning of November 20th.
Feng Kai's patience finally reached its limit.
He didn't bring much clothes with him, and now he was shivering from the cold as soon as he went out. He put on a tattered cotton coat without caring about his appearance, and led a group of staff along the mountain road towards the mountain.
…
At this moment, he was filled with anger.
He was ready to quarrel, and even thought of going up to the mountain and scolding her face to face!
The whole crew!
So many staff…
Are you spending all your time with me?
No need to do other work?
Who the hell are you?
I won’t accompany you anymore!
Whoever wants to accompany you!
However, this kind of fire suddenly and for no reason went out after it went up the mountain.
It's cold in the mountains.
It was so cold that he almost wanted to cry and call his mother.
The breath coming out is like smoking, spreading out layer by layer!
He has never suffered such injustice in his life!
When he finally ran up the mountain tremblingly, looking for Zhou Yang all over the mountains and plains...
Suddenly I received some very devastating news.
An old man who had just come out of the mine looked him up and down, looking at him with a strange look.
"You mean that college student named Zhou Yang?"
"right!"
"He went down the mountain, didn't you meet him?" The old man looked at Feng Kai, a little puzzled.
"What did you say?" Feng Kai's heart twitched and he almost gritted his teeth.
"He went down the mountain with the big truck and brought several people down the mountain. This college student is amazing! He hung out with us for more than a week. We really didn't know that he was filming a movie. We really couldn't tell..." The old man seemed to
Very emotional, but also very upset at the same time, "If I had known better, I would have chatted with him more, maybe I could also show my face in the camera, hehe..."
"..."
"..."
……………………
evening.
Feng Kai, who was frozen into a dog, walked down.
"Director Feng, where have you been? I've been waiting for you for a long time. Director Feng, I have written the script. Can you give me some guidance? If possible, can you set a shooting date and we can start work?"
"..." Feng Kai was silent, standing in front of Zhou Yang, as motionless as an ice sculpture.
Where did I go?
Do you have the fucking nerve to ask me where I've been?
"Director Feng, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, I believe in your talent, no problem." Feng Kai shook his head and did not take the script.
He really didn't want to say a word at this moment.
"Director Feng, I have recruited some actors from the mine. Please help me see if they are suitable..." Zhou Yang continued to point to several dark-skinned young men next to him.
"Suitable, very suitable, very artistic..." Feng Kai glanced at it for a moment and replied expressionlessly.
"Director Feng, why don't you read the script again and give me some advice?" Zhou Yang looked at Feng Kai seriously and begged again.
“Let’s talk about it tomorrow when we’re filming!”
Feng Kai didn't answer the question. After leaving these words, he turned around and walked towards the room.
It seemed like he was tired of saying more than one word to Zhou Yang.
but……
My nose flowed out uncontrollably, and I sneezed several times in a row!
