One morning ten days later, before the chickens had time to crawl out of their nests, the rooms next to the Baohe Hall began to get busy.
Today is the most solemn day for the crew of "A Wonderful Night in the Forbidden City" and it is also the final day of the entire filming work.
Because, ladies and gentlemen, the appearance of the married women takes too much effort.
In order not to delay the filming progress, I started dressing up before dawn.
Dingling's crown of twelve dragons and nine phoenixes, crown of nine dragons and nine phoenixes, crown of six dragons and three phoenixes, Zhai crown... large shirt, Xia pei, horse face skirt...
These Yanjing filigree inlay factories, arts and crafts factories...their treasures were copied one to one and were carried in one by one.
The Baohe Hall, which has been decorated for a long time, is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and is magnificent.
Wang Shixiang, Zhu Jiayu, Qi Gong, and Xu Bangda, dressed in red and green, and wearing the costumes of birds and animals, were gathered together with Jiangshan and Jianghe to discuss something.
“We’ve already inquired about the basic situation,”
Wang Shixiang, who was wearing a green animal military attaché robe, said to Jiang Shan in a low voice:
"This house in Qianliang Hutong was only moved into by one family when Brother Meng was under investigation.
This person was in the same company as Brother Meng at the time, and he had some objections to Brother Meng's use of royalties to buy a house.
But because this person had little power in the unit, after his family moved in, no one else was allowed to move in."
Jiang Shan understood: "In other words, I only need to discuss it with this family?"
"You don't have to worry about this family at all,"
Huang Yongyu, the only one wearing a python suit, holds a black gauze hat:
"The family was arrested after the Chen Meng family's reputation was restored."
"So," Wang Shixiang said, "if you plan to buy Hutong No. 34, you only need to discuss it with Brother Meng's lover."
Huang Yongyu: "Of course, we need to obtain the consent of the Dongcheng Housing Authority before this."
Jiang Shan nodded after hearing this. The situation the two old comrades understood was basically the same as in their previous lives.
According to news records from previous lives, the courtyard house of Chen Meng’s family has been vacant since the reform and opening up.
Chen Mengjia's lover, Zhao Luorui, had been living in his brother's house after Chen Mengjia's death due to his unstable mental state.
It was not until the late 1980s that the housing authority paid Zhao Luorui more than 10,000 yuan for the house when it was interested in acquiring the house.
Before and after Zhao Luorui got the money, she went to Europe for a visit.
According to her memoirs, this trip was the happiest period of her later life.
"Understood,"
Thinking of this, Jiang Shan asked: "But where should I go to find Chen Meng's lover?"
"You don't have to worry about this," Wang Shixiang said, "I will come forward to help you negotiate. All you need to do is get the housing authority to nod."
"OK,"
Jiang Shan and Jiang He looked at each other: "After today's filming is finished, we will go to the Housing Authority tomorrow."
Jiang He: "Okay."
"Remember to call Sisi when you go," Zhu Jiazhu reminded:
"I have been very close to the Housing Authority recently. I helped you inquire yesterday. As long as you have overseas relatives, Ma Liu can solve it."
"But Sisi and I are not relatives. Do we have to marry her in order to buy a house?"
Zhu Jiazhu shook his head: "This matter is not our responsibility."
"Marriage is free," Qi Gong said, "You can make your own decisions."
"Don't make it difficult," Wang Shixiang helped analyze: "Even if you are willing, Ren Sisi may not agree."
Huang Yongyu stood resolutely on the other side of the country: "Who said that? I'm sure she will agree."
Jiang Shan suddenly felt that the tone of his conversation was a bit strange: "Aren't we talking about a house? Why are we talking about getting married?"
I bet no matter what age you are, buying a house can spark a fire in your marriage. Either you need a divorce or you need to get married.
This will be even more awesome, even overseas marriages are involved.
"Hey, isn't this Master Shangshu?"
Zhu Jiayu suddenly bowed to an official who had just entered the palace: "You are much more elegant than us."
Shen Congwen, who was walking towards them, smiled and held up his Wusha: "I have studied ancient costumes for so many years, and I am lucky enough to wear them today. I really have no regrets in this life!"
"Teacher Shen," Jiang Shan said: "Because of the rush of time and limited conditions, except for you, the clothes of other adults are inevitably a little irregular. Don't be surprised!"
"Yong Yu has already greeted me,"
Shen Congwen was very satisfied that Jiang Shan cared so much about his feelings: "It has been very difficult for you to film this movie."
"So, I invited all the professors to come over and help," Jiang Shan said with a smile, "Don't be nervous for a while, just sit down and watch the show."
"Okay, okay,"
Shen Congwen was in a great mood. Ever since he got to know Jiang Shan, he felt that all he had encountered was this kind of new thing.
By the way, even retirement life is much happier.
"Thankfully I followed closely this time, otherwise I would have fallen behind like the last time I landed on the moon,"
Speaking of this, Shen Congwen pointed to the camera hanging on Jiang He's chest: "Second brother, take a picture for me too."
"Yes," Huang Yongyu said, "How could I forget about this?"
"There's me," Zhu Jiazhong took a step forward and said, "Give me two, too."
Xu Bangda: "Together."
The two military attachés Wang Shixiang and Qi Gong didn't say anything. They turned around and borrowed the sabers of the soldiers on the side.
As the shutter continued to click, several old professors wearing official uniforms from the Ming Dynasty were seen hugging each other, not to mention how happy they were!
When everyone was ready to turn on the camera, everyone sat in a relaxed and comfortable posture and took a look at the camera.
Either calm and leisurely, or leisurely... perfectly interprets the heroic style of the Ming Dynasty.
Afterwards, after an order from director Wang Fulin, the Chinese orchestra located next to the main hall immediately played ancient music.
Then, three dances led by Zhou Jie, Dong Zhizhi, and Liu Xiaoli came on stage one by one.
After the close-up, long-range, and overhead shots were completed, the camera in charge of Wang Fulin turned the lens on each of the royal family members in full attire.
Zhu Shimao, Liu Xiaoqing, Zhu Lin, Pan Hong, Gong Xue...and the envious Chen Peisi and Qiu Yuefeng.
On the other side, the machine directed by Jiang Shan followed the palace ladies carrying royal meals into the back of the palace.
He aimed the camera again at the palace banquet table covered with golden tablecloth.
When the exquisite dinner hats covering the gold, porcelain, and lacquerware dinner plates were lifted one by one,
One after another, the gorgeous palace banquets completely bloomed in front of the camera.
At this moment, Jiang Xiaoyu and Jiang Xiaobai, who also looked noble, were sitting in the back row watching Gong E's sisters pouring wine for them.
The two children, who played the role of young members of the royal family, noticed that the third uncle's camera was coming and quickly assumed the postures they had practiced.
Jiang Shan, who was guarding the machine, smiled at them. Xiaoyu and Xiaobai, who had crowns on their heads, immediately smiled happily.
What a coincidence, this healing scene of smiling heartily when seeing delicious food was captured perfectly by the photographer.
At this moment, not even Jiang Shan realized the impact of this series of shots.
Director Jiang, who was busy at work, was only thinking about one thing at this time: how to edit such a colorful film?
…
All goes well and the work is done.
In the guest house of the Ministry of Culture at night, Comrade Jiang Hai on the phone kept asking this and that.
It wasn't until the two children threw the phone to their third uncle that they finally changed the topic:
"Let me tell you, third child, if I had known that you would be gone for so long, I should not have agreed to you taking the child away."
"Brother,"
Jiang Shan, who was holding the phone, leaned lazily on his chair:
"We are not far from victory. We will go home immediately after we finish editing."
"Do you still have to wait?" Jiang Hai asked anxiously: "Do you still want your eldest niece to go to school?"
"Just those things in school," Jiang Shan said with a smile, "There's nothing to worry about. I can make up for it in the summer vacation."
Jiang Hai: "That sounds nice."
"Besides," Jiang Shan said, "we Xiaoyu and Xiaobai also learned a lot in Yanjing?"
Jiang Hai: "What can I learn from you? Shooting commercials?"
"In the morning, they studied calligraphy with Professor Shen," Jiang Shan said, "In the afternoon, they studied painting with Uncle Yongyu."
"..." Jiang Hai was shocked when he heard this. Just as he was about to ask a few more questions, the third child's voice sounded again.
"In addition, Uncle Shixiang saw that Xiaoyu was interested in the guqin," Jiang Shan continued, "so he arranged for his wife to give lessons in person. Let me do the math... I should have been studying for ten days."
"Good boy," Jiang Haigaolu didn't expect: "If we continue to study like this, my children will very likely become artists."
"I think it's a good thing," Jiang Shan said, "As long as the children like it, we must support it."
"I didn't say anything," Jiang Hai decided: "I will buy the piano tomorrow."
"Don't worry," Jiang Shan smiled: "It won't be too late to buy it after we go back."
"Then it's settled."
"Editor-in-Chief Jiang, the newspaper has been doing well recently, right?"
"everything is normal,"
When it came to work, Jiang Hai's voice became obviously deeper: "However, I recently received a message... It sounds like there is something about it."
"Oh?" Jiang Shan flicked the cigarette ashes: "What's the news?"
"Several ships are currently docked at Pujiang River," Jiang Hai said calmly: "According to reports from our agency's reporters, two more ships arrived today."
"Really,"
Jiang Shan thought about it for a moment: "Have you found out what happened?"
"Yeah," Editor-in-Chief Jiang actually found out:
"It is said that these ships will sail to the Pacific Ocean in formation.
After arriving at the destination, a gun salute will be fired in the waters near the equator to celebrate the historic moment of the navy's first arrival in the southern hemisphere..."
Hearing this, Jiang Shan understood that what was supposed to come was finally coming.
As for the news that Jiang Hai is currently inquiring about, it will be officially announced to the public in a few days.
Its purpose is simply to confuse international attention.
Jiang Shan carefully thought about it in his mind.
By then, I will probably have landed in the United States and competed bravely at the New York Advertising Festival.
