Chapter 500: A Fierce Girl
Qinling, the old county seat of Zhouzhi.
He Xin heard the name of the old county town from Diao Yinan for the first time, and thought it was an old city, an ancient town or something, similar to the ancient city of Pingyao.
But in fact, the so-called Zhouzhi old county seat is located in the hinterland of the Qinling Mountains, with an altitude of more than 1,800 meters, and it is more than 100 kilometers away from the current Zhouzhi county.
This is the only fortress city on the way to the thousand-year-old road Fu Luo Road, which was once the location of the Foping Hall in the Qing Dynasty, surrounded by four mountains and a stream of water, known as the "Shangri-La" of northern China.
It is said that the old county town had more than 10,000 residents in its heyday, and then due to the migration of soldiers and bandits and officials, it gradually fell silent and sparsely populated, with a population of less than 100 households. As a result, the old county town has become the old county town and village, and now it has become a protected area.
According to the old people in the village, there used to be tigers, iron-eating beasts, leopards, takins and other large animals here, but now there is probably no trace of them except leopards.
The only vestige of the ancient county town in this barren mountain village is probably a ring of tall stone walls and three city gates in the east, west and south, indicating that the ancestors here were once wide.
He Xin has been here for more than a week, and at first he wanted to pretend to be forced to come, and wanted to live directly in the village, as the so-called experience of life is to eat, live and work together.
But when I looked around, I found that I really couldn't do it. Although the original ecology in the village is very well protected, and there are still relics of the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty in many places, there are too few people in the village, most of the young people have gone out to work, and those who are left behind are some old people and children. Not only is there no mobile phone signal, but even can not use electricity normally, 1-2 hours a day, sometimes the voltage is unstable, and the electrical appliances at home are idle.
He had to live in Houyizi Ancient Town, which was eighteen kilometers away from the old county town and village, with the scenery team that came over in the early stage. Although it is also dilapidated, at least the basic living facilities such as water, electricity, and mobile phone signals are still readily available, and the accommodation conditions of Taibai Villa, where the crew stayed, are also good.
"You're so early today, aren't you?"
"Today's play is very tight, I got up at five o'clock to put on my makeup, and I really want to sleep a little longer. The girlfriend yawned on the phone.
He Xin, as usual, got up before six o'clock in the morning and trotted around the town. It's September, which is the most beautiful time of the year in the Qinling Mountains, when the mountains are full of wildflowers, and even the air is fragrant and sweet, which makes people feel refreshed.
Today he had just finished running, returned to his room and took a shower, and was about to go out for breakfast when he received a call from his girlfriend.
"Double-sided Tape" was launched in Shanghai in early September, and his girlfriend left the capital a few days early. Although my girlfriend was quite well prepared before, she was always under pressure after turning on the phone.
Without him, this drama is not when she filmed "New Shanghai Beach" before, in that crew, except for the transcendent existence of Teacher Li Xuejian, what Xiao Mingge, Sha Yi, Huang Haibo, and even Sun Li, she coped with it easily, and it was an exaggeration to say that it was simply crushing.
But the crew of "Double-sided Tape" is different, Pan Hong, Wang Huaying, and Mama Rong, who play against her every day, are all old actors. Especially Pan Hong and Wang Huaying, the two teachers, are Shanghainese themselves, and the pair of Shanghai parents they play are simply vivid. There are also Zhang Yi and Rong Mama, a pair of Northeast mothers and sons, who are also handy. Cheng Hao is mixed in the middle, and if he is not careful, his shortcomings will be magnified and appear very abrupt.
My girlfriend is a strong person, gritting her teeth and not admitting defeat, and it is said that she works quite hard. The fixed call time that used to be fixed every night has also become erratic, and sometimes I only call one when I think about it, such as this morning.
"You guys filmed the night scene again last night?"
"No, Teacher Liuliu came yesterday, and I didn't feel that I had an accurate grasp of the character of Lijuan, so I chatted with her, didn't pay attention to the time, and accidentally chatted until midnight. ”
"Hey, it's not such an exaggeration, how can you and that Singaporean woman have so much in common?"
"Teacher Liuliu is very good, and she also said that I am very similar to Anna in her other book "Anna and Wang Gui". Hey, by the way, the film and television rights of her book were also bought by your company, when are you going to shoot it?"
"This project is scheduled to start in the first half of next year, why, are you interested in this role?"
"I was very moved by what Teacher Liuliu said......"
"That's fine, and you can be involved in the whole project together, like being a producer or something. He Xin said with a smile.
"No, I'm just an actor, I can't do anything else. "Dogs
"What's wrong with the actors? Look at Mr. Chen Hong, the crew of "Wuji" is as big, they are still well organized, and they are also actors. ”
"I don't have as much ambition as her, and besides, you're not Director Chen!"
"Don't talk so much, and when you give birth to two sons for me, you won't think so. ”
"Cut, I don't want to be a producer, I've already thought about it, and when this day comes, I'll go back to school as a teacher. I still like campus, a little simpler, a little simpler. The environment of the crew, intriguing all day long, is too complicated......"
"What are you afraid of, I don't believe you can't handle it!"
"Don't you think you're going to be tired then?...... Forget it, I won't tell you, Xiaoqing is calling me, I should go down, bye!"
"Well, goodbye!"
It's no wonder that girlfriends will be tempted by "Anna and Wang Gui", in terms of artistic value, "Double-sided Tape" is just a mother-in-law and mother-in-law drama, and "Anna and Wang Gui" describes an era, an era spanning 30 years, covering a microcosm of the joys and sorrows of countless little people from the early days of reform and opening up to the present. Whether it is from the perspective of the actors' performances or the tension of the work itself, it should be said that it is more attractive.
Period dramas of the genre "Anna and Wang Gui" are all the same way as the popular TV series such as "Golden Wedding", "Golden Wedding Wind and Rain", "Parents' Love", and "Love in the Courtyard".
In fact, it is not easy for my girlfriend to be obsessed with developing movies before, after all, the resources of movies are very scarce these days, and it is difficult to get good resources for a coffee position like her.
For example, John Woo, who "returned from Hollywood" some time ago, director Wu Dadao is currently preparing the big-budget movie "The Battle of Red Cliffs", which is said to have a total investment of up to 800 million. Even if it is two consecutive films, it has greatly refreshed the domestic film investment record of 350 million claimed by "Wu Ji".
In addition to China Film and Poly Huayi, it is said that Lao Wu's Orange Sky also accounts for a large proportion of the investment. There is no way, what is popular at the moment is the kind of big investment and big production of the Hollywood model. Although Wu Dadao has been swept away by Hollywood, he is still a sweet and sweet spot in China, and as a director, companies that have spent a lot of money in the mainland in casting can hardly intervene, not to mention that it is also the era of superstitious Hong Kong and Taiwan stars.
The selection of the protagonists ranged from Zhou Runfa and Liang Chaowei to Watanabe Qian at the beginning, and there were no mainland stars anyway. It is said that Orange Sky is a big investor, Wang Jinghua has been actively operating, and its Hu Jun, You Yong and others can only play a supporting role at most, and originally wanted to fight for the role of the female number one "Xiao Qiao" for Cheng Hao, the first sister of Orange Sky, but there was no drama at all. Director Wu didn't even know who Cheng Hao was.
This time it should be said that the blow to my girlfriend is quite big. Although "The Battle of Red Cliffs" due to various intricate relationships, the start date has been delayed again and again, and it was originally planned to start in September, but now it is said that it will be postponed until next year, and the role has not yet been finalized, but his girlfriend is obviously dead. Otherwise, he wouldn't have said that he was interested in "Anna and Wang Gui".
Think about it, since there are few film resources and you can't get good resources, it is better to make some excellent TV series, which can also serve the people, and as an artist of the people, it should be so.
"New brother, morning!"
As soon as He Xin went out, he saw that Tong Yali had just come out of the room, wearing a pink sportswear and a high ponytail.
"Oh, Xiao Tong, you're early!"
In fact, she doesn't have to come with He Xin to experience life so early, she doesn't have many scenes, she can just come over with the crew half a month in advance. However, this girl may be the first time to play such an important role, and she is very motivated, and she took the initiative to ask to come with He Xin.
The character of Caifeng is described in the description: she looks very generous, she doesn't look like a rural girl, her skin is very white, and her facial features are also very fine......
This is also the reason why He Xin took a fancy to Li Bailian at the beginning, but unfortunately Li Bailian was too old and too expensive, so he had to give up. Later, he discussed with Diao Yinan that if he really followed the description in the original book, it would feel unreal to find a fair-skinned and beautiful girl to present on the screen.
Looking at it, in the end, I still feel that the skin is a little dark, the brain door, melon seed face, and the temperament is slightly rustic, Tong Yali is the most suitable.
Don't look at her now in front of He Xin, she is smiling brightly with cute little tiger teeth, and she looks soft and weak on the outside, but she is actually very strong in her bones.
Not two days after I first arrived here, one day at dinner, a young artist in the set group may have seen her as a delicate little girl who was easy to bully, and teased a few words, but was all buttoned to the face by a large bowl of soup and vegetables.
At that time, Tong Yali stood there with her willow eyebrows upside down and apricot eyes wide open, so frightened that no one else dared to say anything. The end result was that the young artist was fired, and from then on, no one dared to joke with this sturdy and hard-backstage little girl.
