I have been in Hangzhou for more than ten days, and it is now mid-July.
In a mountain village under the jurisdiction of Jinhua, the couple walked on a country road at three or four in the afternoon, embarking on a new journey.
The faint fishy smell of muddy water in the fields, the fragrance of flowers and grass on the slopes, the occasional cow dung on the land, and the bits of meat brought by chickens and ducks walking by, make the smell of this space full of mixed flavors.
But compared to the city, it has a different traditional elegance, which also allowed the couple to experience the real folk fireworks in the countryside.
"It's nice here, the air is good, the scenery is good, and the pure natural scenery is the most pleasant."
On the left is a large rice field with muddy water, and on the right is a large area of green pepper grown on pure land.
Liu Yifei walked on the path between the two lands, took off her baseball cap, opened her arms, raised her head and closed her eyes to the sky to experience the countryside fireworks. She felt very happy and expressed her inner feelings. It also expressed that it was a rare time to come here.
The freshness of the countryside.
Seeing that she was enjoying the local customs, Chu Xuan felt the same way and smiled happily: "Teacher Li, how long do we have to go?"
"We'll be there in about ten minutes' walk," said Teacher Li, who was leading the way.
Chu Xuan nodded. This teacher Li is the second assistant director of the crew of "Bu Bu Jing Xin". Currently, the main team of "Bu Bu Jing Xin" is in Hengdian, and a small team is filming near this mountain village.
This team is led by Gao Jun, Zheng Xiaolong’s first assistant director, and Mr. Li is equivalent to Gao Jun’s assistant director.
There are many chat groups within Bright Times. Among them, the film and television crew group has dedicated people from each crew chatting about work and reporting schedules every day.
The couple learned through a group chat that a team from the crew of "Bu Bu Jing Xin" was filming near Jinhua, and they also wanted to stop by Jinhua to see if there was anything interesting. It happened that their schedules coincided, so they contacted
After joining the crew, I headed straight to this mountain village from Hangzhou today.
I heard that it was filming a scene between Tang Yan and Luo Jin, so I just happened to come and check out the classes of these two good friends.
Liu Yifei felt the countryside atmosphere, put down her arms and put on her baseball cap again, and asked Teacher Li who was walking in front: "Teacher Li, what are the living arrangements? Isn't this some distance from the nearest county seat?"
"We will live in the village." Teacher Li turned around and said, "Including the extras, there are only about twenty people. There are not many people, and they also brought tents. Those who are willing to live in tents will live in tents, and those who cannot live in tents will live in private houses here.
, we have already negotiated with several families, paid some money, and vacated a vacant room for us to stay for one night."
"Only stay one night, shoot for two days, and leave tomorrow?" Chu Xuan said.
"Yes." Teacher Li nodded: "As long as it doesn't rain, we can finish work and return to Hengdian tomorrow afternoon or evening."
"Live in the village!" Liu Yifei became interested and asked Chu Xuan: "How about we stay here for one night?"
Living in a tent? She had never experienced this before, and living in a tent in a mountain village environment was extremely novel.
Living in a village? She and Chu Xuan only lived in private houses in villages and towns when the crew of "The Condor" was filming the Yandang Mountain scene. But the villages and towns there have become very modern because of the Yandang Mountain tourist attraction. Compared to now
This ancient-looking mountain village is missing a lot of fireworks.
Therefore, when Teacher Li said that the crew would stay here tonight, she was very interested and wanted to experience a night in this authentic rural soil.
Faced with Liu Yifei's expectations, Chu Xuan couldn't help but laugh. As soon as this daughter-in-law started playing, she was like a wild horse running wild. She really wanted to experience whatever was fun and where it was fun, without even considering whether it was fun or not.
appropriate.
Living in a village? There must be a lot of mosquitoes on hot days. Are you sure you can handle it?
But he didn't object, not wanting to dampen his wife's interest, and he himself had a desire to experience it. He had never lived in such an ancient village house, let alone lived in a tent in such an environment.
Moreover, Tang Yan, Luo Jin and the crew are also staying here tonight, so it should be quite fun to think about it.
"Teacher Li, is there a place for us to live?" Chu Xuan asked.
Seeing that Liu Yifei was the first to show interest, Teacher Li had already anticipated it and said with a smile: "Just free up a tent or an extra room, it depends on whether you want to live in a tent or a house."
"Live in a tent." Liu Yifei raised her eyebrows at Chu Xuan, full of interest.
"Okay." Chu Xuan also responded with interest.
"Then I'll make arrangements later." Teacher Li said. He didn't expect that as the boss and his wife, the couple would want to stay in the country for one night. He just hoped that they would not complain and cause trouble, but people in the company often said that the couple's professional ethics
Yes, I don't think it will cause any trouble, so it will definitely be interesting to have this couple join us tonight.
With this thought in mind, he continued to lead the way.
With the interesting decision of staying in a tent tonight, Liu Yifei's good mood improved even more. Along the way, she looked around and looked at everything in the countryside. She was used to living in a big city, and many things here were different.
Make her linger and pay attention.
The village is not big, with about thirty or forty wooden houses and tile-roofed houses, and its population is estimated to be only one hundred or eighty, but it also has its own customs and customs.
Passing by a house, there was an old woman sitting on a low bench at the door, holding a fan to cool down. She saw Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei, Lu Tao and Teacher Li walking by. Seeing Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei wearing sunglasses, the old woman was very happy.
He was so surprised that he even stopped swinging the fan and looked at the couple in a dazed manner with suspicious eyes.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei didn't notice anything unusual, they just thought it was the old man who saw the outsider's curiosity.
Liu Yifei waved her hand politely and said hello sweetly: "Hello, grandma."
The old lady was startled, then pointed to the road ahead with a fan in her hand: "Look at the meat, look at the meat, be careful."
Liu Yifei was a little confused. Firstly, she couldn't understand the dialect, and secondly, she could vaguely understand but didn't know what the old woman meant.
Chu Xuan, Lu Tao and Teacher Li also couldn't understand what the old lady was talking about, until a middle-aged man holding a cow passed by and said: "She thinks you are harlots and tells you to be careful."
"Huh?" Liu Yifei still didn't understand, and looked at Chu Xuan who was equally confused with an awkward smile.
Teacher Li laughed, feeling very amused: "The old lady thought you were blind and told you to be careful when you walk."
As soon as Teacher Li spoke Mandarin, I understood it immediately.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei looked at each other and burst into laughter at the same time.
Chu Xuan took off his sunglasses and understood what the old lady meant, which also made him understand that the sunglasses were the fault.
In the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, people who wore black sunglasses were often blind. This old lady looked very old and probably had not been to the city much, so she mistakenly thought that the couple wearing sunglasses were
The blind man told them to be careful when walking.
"Grandma, there's nothing wrong with our eyes. These are sunglasses." Liu Yifei also took off her sunglasses and turned around to explain to the old lady.
The old lady seemed to understand, and didn't quite understand what sunglasses were, but seeing that the couple's eyes were fine, she was muttering something, and her wrinkled face was full of kindness, presumably she was saying, "If there's nothing wrong with your eyes,"
Okay' or something like that.
Although there is a generation gap in communication between the two, and the general environment of the era they live in is not on the same channel, this small episode can be regarded as a pleasure, but it cannot be said to be a pleasure.
Elderly people living alone stay in empty houses and are gradually out of touch with the development of the times. The young people in the family are running to big cities in order to survive and catch up with the times. This is the trend of the current era. It would be great if the young people in the family can come back often, but if they cannot
If we come back often, it is only these old people from the old era who insist on what it means to return to their roots.
This is a reflection of the gap between the rich and the poor in the contemporary era, and it is also the difference between frontier cities that are developing at a rapid pace and backward villages that cannot keep up with the times. The gap between the humanistic environment and the times is also a problem worth thinking about in the current society.
question.
"What would happen if a humanities and art movie was made based on this situation?" Chu Xuan suddenly had such an idea.
What exactly is film art? This can only be understood through the thinking of directors and producers. Although he has been a director and producer, it was a TV series and not a movie.
The special effects blockbuster he and Liu Yifei are planning to create is to adapt to, experiment with, and realize the ideal of film and television industrialization.
But when it comes to art itself, and the movies that belong to the land of China, perhaps movies that can resonate with society like "I'm Not the God of Medicine" are the real art.
Art comes from life. Through this little episode caused by the old lady, he had a new thought about what is the purest Chinese film, which is completely different from the West.
"There is also a school here."
Liu Yifei discovered a primary school and interrupted Chu Xuan's thinking.
Chu Xuan kept this thought and idea deep in his heart and let his thoughts go wild. However, there was currently no opportunity or opportunity to make a movie. He would consider it later and put this thought aside for the time being.
"There is a school in such a small mountain village. There shouldn't be many students in it." He followed Liu Yifei's gaze and looked around. There was a small square on the side with a cement floor.
The small square is not big, only the size of a basketball court, and there is a larger wooden house with tiles inside, which has the same structure as the wooden house in the previous village. There are waves of reading from inside, and the article "Moonlight over the Lotus Pond" is being read.
text.
It looks like there are only two classes. It is said to be a school, but in fact it is more like a private school. However, the country's education system has the task of teaching in the countryside, but the school in front of us is really too small.
As they walked on the country road, they could clearly see a female teacher in the class who was obviously not from the countryside, leading the class. It seemed that this female teacher had gone to the countryside to teach.
"It's fate." Teacher Li glanced at the female teacher in the school from a distance and said this.
Hearing what he suddenly said, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei both looked at him curiously.
Teacher Li said: "When we were looking for a scene, our car passed by the entrance of the village and almost hit Teacher Yang who was riding a bicycle out of the village."
"Ah? Is nothing wrong?" Liu Yifei was shocked.
"No." Teacher Li shook his head: "This teacher Yang is very kind. He was frightened and fell off his bicycle. But he didn't argue with us or argue with us. He held up the bicycle and said, 'It's okay.'
She left just to rush to the county town to buy some fruits for her students to celebrate Children’s Day.”
"When we entered the village and found Jing coming out, she came back and learned about the situation, so she gave some of our remaining snacks to her students. She was also grateful to us."
"Is that so?" Liu Yifei tilted her head and looked at Teacher Yang again, and said, "That's really kind and a good teacher."
"It's a coincidence." Teacher Li smiled: "Tomorrow, Teacher Yang will have a wedding. He will marry another male teacher who supports teaching. The wedding will be held in the village, and our crew will be invited to celebrate the wedding together.
If Director Chu and Producer Liu have time, they might as well go and join in the fun tomorrow."
"Really!" Liu Yifei was surprised. She didn't expect such a happy event. She really came to the right place.
"Let's talk about it tomorrow." Chu Xuan said. It was very unexpected to attend the wedding of someone they didn't know and no one invited them. We'll see what the situation is tomorrow before deciding.
Liu Yifei and Teacher Li nodded, and we will discuss tomorrow's matters.
The group of people gradually moved away from the village and walked deeper into the mountains.
After twists and turns, we passed through a radish field, then passed through a small bamboo forest, and then walked downhill for a while until we came to the woods beside a river, and finally arrived at our destination.
"Welcome Director Chu and Producer Liu to inspect the work!" Gao Jun, the deputy director of the crew, "led" the dozen or so crew members in applauding to welcome the couple.
Chu Xuan has already had the experience of filming "Star You", and his title in this circle has changed in the past two months. Everyone calls him "Director Chu".
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! As for Liu Yifei, she has been called "Producer Liu" for a long time, mainly because Liu Yifei is young, so many people are embarrassed if she really wants to be called "Mr. Liu"
She couldn't speak, so it would be impolite to call her by her first name, and calling her by her nickname "Qianxi" would be too intimate, so the teachers in the company circle collectively called her "Producer Liu."
"Hello, Teacher Gao, hello teachers, we're just here to have fun, there's no way of not inspecting the work." Chu Xuan walked over, shook hands with Gao Jun, and gestured with his eyes to greet the teachers in each group present.
Hello.
"Those two are casual. It's not easy to entertain people here. We have to shoot a scene soon, so I won't care about you." Gao Jun said.
"Teacher Gao, you are busy, don't worry about us, we will just take a look." Liu Yifei said repeatedly.
Tang Yan and Luo Jin were in a predetermined scene not far away. They found that Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, two friends, had arrived but did not say hello. It was obvious that both of them were brewing emotions, fearing that they would be disturbed by external factors.
.
Tang Yan and Luo Jin just exchanged glances with the couple as a greeting.
The couple smiled, which was regarded as a reply.
Soon, under Gao Jun's call, the filming started.
The signal here is very poor, and the monitor cannot connect to the camera. We can only judge the effect of the shooting by observing the small picture directly from the small screen on the camera.
There were three camera positions on set, and Gao Jun, the assistant director, ran back and forth in three directions. This also tested his directing ability.
However, Gao Jun filmed a movie "The Emperor" with Chen Daoming as the male lead. I think his director skills are still very strong, but he has been working with Zheng Xiaolong as an assistant director for many years and his reputation is not obvious.
Without a monitor, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei could only watch the two friends' live performances from a distance and intuitively.
I saw Tang Yan standing by the river. The hillside she was on was about ten meters above the river below. She looked up at the sky with an expression of pity, but at the same time she looked like she was about to jump into the river.
"Ruoxi!" Luo Jin's "Fourth Master" came on horseback. He dismounted quickly and steadily, walked towards Tang Yan with rapid strides, and pulled Tang Yan back.
"If you feel unhappy following me, you can say so. Why bother?" Luo Jin thought Tang Yan was going to jump into the river.
"I just came out to see the scenery. Do you think I am so fragile?" Tang Yan responded calmly and elegantly.
Chu Xuan grinned. There was something playful in the eyes of these two people. There was no awkwardness or discomfort in looking at each other at such a close distance. I heard that this drama had a lot of intimate scenes between the male and female protagonists. It seemed that there had been scenes before to pave the way for their relationship.
I just don’t know if I will fall in love with the drama.
Lao Luo, the opportunity has been given to you, you have to seize it... Chu Xuan's heart is full of little Jiujiu, and he also hopes that the two people who were originally a loving couple can continue this fate.
Liu Yifei didn't know what Chu Xuan was thinking, so she happily watched the performances of her two friends. In the past, when she and Chu Xuan were filming, other people would take advantage of them. Now she could finally be a part of the public and watch others show affection. This made her happy.
With relish.
"Stop for a moment, your emotions are a bit lacking. Luo Jin, you are too stable. It is good to maintain a stable and domineering persona, but if you are too stable, the scene will be ineffective. The same goes for you, Tang Yan. Calmness and composure are the characteristics of your character.
, but it’s too bland and it’s not right, let’s try it again.”
Gao Jun gave "ng", which made Luo Jin and Tang Yan a little discouraged.
It was Luo Jin's first time filming a costume romance drama, and it was Tang Yan's first time filming a costume drama. As a result, the two of them filmed this scene that required emotional changes for several times but failed to meet the standards. But what exactly was wrong and not right?
You know, you can only feel it with your understanding, which is a bit difficult.
Tang Yan glanced at the couple who were laughing and eating melon not far away, and narrowed her eyes with a playful look: "Director Gao, can you let the 'national couple' show us how to do it?"
National couple?... Gao Jun, Teacher Li and the entire team all turned their heads to look at Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei's expressions froze, and they lost their interest in eating. Facing the joking looks of the entire team, the couple couldn't laugh or cry.
