Qiaojia Courtyard is known as "a pearl of northern residential architecture in the Qing Dynasty".

Even friends who have never been to Qiao's compound should have seen it in the movie "The Red Lantern Hangs High" or the TV series "Qiao's Courtyard".

As one of the birthplaces of Jin Shang culture, Qiaojia Courtyard has rich cultural connotation and strong humanistic atmosphere, which can be said to be a living specimen for studying ancient houses.

Grange Zhuang had already been here with Wang Jiarui once before, but that time because of Wu Jianye's temporary attack, he didn't watch it well!

Because of the attack, so this time they came, Wang Jiarui followed them inch by inch, at this time his heart was lucky, fortunately Wu Jianye met the son of the old Dai family, otherwise if something happened in Zhaoyu, what was the impact on the county government, he didn't know, but he himself would definitely be unlucky.

"Qiao's courtyard, the most famous is their 'four halls and one garden', the four halls are 'in the middle hall', 'Dexing Hall', 'Ning Shou Hall', 'Baoyuan Hall', one garden refers to the 'Qiao's garden', where we are now is the middle hall of the Qiao family compound.

Qiao's courtyard was built in the 20th year of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty (1755 AD), it is named after the mansion of Qiao family such as Qiao Zhiyong, a leading merchant in the Ming and Qing dynasties and a commercial capitalist at home and abroad, with a total area of more than 25,600 square meters, a total of 18 courtyards, 41 small courtyards and 731 houses. ”

Under the leadership of Wang Jiarui, Wu Jianye and the three of them had a complete appreciation of the style of the Qiao family compound, but at this time, the Qiao family compound was not yet famous for many film and television works, so even if this compound was very famous in Zhaoyu, in fact, the protection measures were not very good, and mottled everywhere.

At this time, the four of them stood next to the brick carving shadow wall, and on the brick carving shadow wall was a "hundred longevity map", which was composed of 100 seals of different shapes of the word "longevity". On both sides is a meaningful couplet inscribed by Zuo Zongtang: "Harm people want to restore heavenly principles, and accumulate morality and can write."

"Are the descendants of the Qiao family still alive now?" Zhao Fei asked in a low voice.

"Yes, but now it's no longer in Zhaoyu, most of the descendants of the Qiao family are in Yanjing!" Wang Jiarui said.

"Oh, so that's the case!" Zhao Fei nodded, and then asked Wu Jianye curiously: "Old Wu, I read the script just now, basically we have a courtyard is enough, which one do you like?"

The whole movie of "The Red Lantern Hangs High" was almost filmed in a courtyard, and the biggest perspective was on the roof, so even if the Qiao family compound was used as the filming venue this time, the entire Qiao family compound would not be used.

Wu Jianye thought for a while and said, "'In the middle hall'!"

Grange said, "I also think 'in the middle hall' is the most appropriate!"

Zhao Fei took his camera, took a photo of the brick carving shadow wall, and then said with a smile: "Old Wu, I really convinced you, when you wrote "The Peacock Princess", you were able to think of the story of Yundian, and now you have written a story about Jin Province, where did you get so many story materials in your head!"

Wu Jianye's camera was broken, it must not be usable, looking at Zhao Fei taking pictures over there, he was a little indignant in his heart, "Of course it's reading, you think it's all the same as you, the old man is still so timid, I heard that Zhang Huijun told a ghost story at night, you don't dare to sleep?"

Zhao Fei's face turned red, "That one doesn't dare to sleep, this is purely a rumor!"

"Huh!"

One of the great pleasures of the 403 dormitory is to tease Zhao Fei, before buying a train ticket, and now the same is true for telling ghost stories, Zhang Huijun and a few of them often start to tell ghost stories after the school has a power outage, these people's eloquence is absolutely first-class, and the storytelling is also full of emotion, after speaking, you can see Zhao Fei put the quilt on his head, and then these people remain silent, more than ten minutes later, someone suddenly made a strange sound, which can directly scare Zhao Fei to jump up on the bed.

The most interesting time is that after telling the ghost story, Zhao Fei wanted to go to the toilet, but he was scared, and he held back for most of the night, and only dared to go to the toilet when the sky was bright.......

"It's good not to be afraid, anyway, the three of us can't fit in one room, and then you will have a room of your own!" said Grange Zhuang ruefully.

"One room is one room!" Zhao Fei said with a stiff neck.

"By the way, I forgot to tell you, if you hear anything at night, don't be afraid, you also know that this is a thousand-year-old capital, even if there are some things that science can't explain, it's understandable!" Grange continued.

"Granger!" Zhao Fei looked at Grange with a flushed face and shouted loudly.

The four of them went up the stairs to the roof, Wu Jianye stood on the roof, looked at the No. 4 courtyard below, and said to Zhao Fei: "Zhao Fei, when the movie starts, there needs to be an overhead shot here, I want to show the layering of the scenery in the scene, and obviously show the movement trajectory and spatial relationship of the subject!"

Zhao Fei stretched out his hands, put them in front of his eyes, presented a box, looked at it for a while, and said, "No problem!"

Wu Jianye nodded and continued: "With the mirror image at the time of shooting, this picture must present a depressing atmosphere!"

"Don't worry!" Zhao Fei said confidently.

Wu Jianye patted Zhao Fei on the shoulder, and then went to see the black room that symbolized the pinnacle of the feudal system, and said to Tianzhuang Zhuang: "When filming this paragraph, you must remind me to pay attention to the items inside, although this picture will only appear in the movie, but it must present an extremely depressing feeling to the audience!"

Tian Zhuangzhuang looked at Wu Jianye's serious expression and said, "Aren't you a little nervous?"

Wu Jianye let out a long breath, can you not be nervous? This is the first movie he has shot as a director, and it is still such a movie that has been highly praised in later generations, it would be strange to say that he was not nervous.

"It's okay, but it's not a big problem!"

"It's okay, everyone has a first time, and besides, everyone believes in your ability!" Tianzhuang Zhuang patted Wu Jianye's shoulder and smiled.

Zhao Fei joked beside him: "That is, most of us will be our classmates at that time, let's work together!"

Wu Jianye smiled and didn't say anything, and continued to look at the scenery here, comparing it with the picture in his mind!

At night, several people did not leave, but took a look at the night here, after all, there are many scenes about the night in the movie.

However, due to the power supply, there is not much to see here.

On the way back, Wu Jianye asked Wang Jiarui about the craftsmen who could make lanterns in Zhaoyu, and Wang Jiarui also recommended a candidate for Wu Jianye.

At night!

In the guest house, Wu Jianye, Tianzhuang Zhuang, and Zhao Fei sat in the room of the guest house.

Wu Jianye held a slowly burning cigarette in his hand and explained his shooting ideas to the two, "Although the red lantern will express a lot of meanings in the film, the main color of this movie is still cold black and gray, borrowing these two tones, showing the silent bitter resentment and endless sadness of the characters in the play......."

Naturally, there is nothing to say about the cultivation of Tianzhuang Zhuang and Zhao Fei in the professional field, Wu Jianye said it once, and the two of them will be able to understand what Wu Jianye means.

In fact, if you simply watch this movie, she is not a very good movie, and the stories are a little old-fashioned, but it is the countless metaphors added to the movie, as well as the director's own ideas, that finally made him an excellent classic.

If this movie is placed in the fast food era of later generations, then Wu Jianye can conclude that the probability of this movie hitting the street is higher than the 'sci-fi love masterpiece' he invested in before his rebirth.......

However, it is precisely because the inclusiveness of this era is high enough that this movie has become a classic, and with the blessing of the European Film Festival awards, it is naturally a classic among classics!

The three of them chatted, very late, close to two o'clock, and finally felt a little sleepy.

"Okay, let's talk about this today, and I'll have to continue to see the venue tomorrow!" Wu Jianye was ready to rest.

Zhao Fei was slightly stunned, and then said, "Don't worry, I still have a lot of questions!"

Wu Jianye shook his head and said, "If there is any problem, let's talk about it tomorrow, I'm sleepy, go to bed early!"

"You are very irresponsible as a director, this is your first movie, how can you discourage the enthusiasm of comrades because you are sleepy?" Zhao Fei said unrelentingly.

Tian Zhuangzhuang sat on his bed and began to undress and sleep, glanced at the excited Zhao Fei, and said, "You shouldn't be alone and dare not sleep!"

Zhao Fei immediately blushed and shouted, "Who doesn't dare to sleep, don't talk, I'll go back to sleep!"

After saying that, Zhao Fei got up and left angrily, Wu Jianye and Grangezhuang looked at each other and smiled, only to see Grange Zhuang stretch out his hand.

Stretch out a finger: "1!"

Two fingers: "2!"

Three fingers: "3!"

When the five fingers were stretched out and shouted: "5", the door opened, and Zhao Fei appeared in front of the two of them aggrievedly holding his quilt.

"My house smells, I want to sleep with your house!"

Grange Zhuang smiled: "Okay, you sleep in this room, and I will sleep in that room!"

Wu Jianye smiled on the other bed: "Okay, don't tease Zhao Fei!" and then said to Zhao Fei: "Two beds, one for me and Zhuangzhuang, who are you going to sleep with?"

Zhao Fei glanced at Grange Zhuang and said, "I don't sleep with Zhuang Zhuang, he sleeps and snores!" After speaking, he hugged his quilt and lay next to Wu Jianye.

"I'm not honest when I sleep, I'll kick you down when the time comes, but don't cry out in pain!" Wu Jianye joked.

"Humph!"

.......

In the following days, Wu Jianye and the three of them stayed in the Qiao family's compound almost every day, looking at each aunt's room and discussing the scenery of each room.

For example, in the room of the third wife, Mei Shan, before Wu Jianye could speak, Tianzhuang Zhuang put forward his opinion.

"Since the third wife is a singing actor, we should arrange this place as a room with Peking Opera characteristics, and at the same time we should keep some objects when she was singing, so that it can not only show the identity of the third wife, but also metaphorize her hidden relationship with Dr. Gao!"

"I think so too, when the time comes, in the script, the scene of the four people playing mahjong has been written, and Dr. Gao will deliberately put on a song for the finale of the third wife on stage. Wu Jianye said.

The progress of that scene can be expressed naturally, the third wife can freely summon outsiders to play mahjong at home, which shows the pampered and proud character of the third wife, and then through Dr. Gao's dialogue and the freedom of putting the gramophone behind him, it shows that he is not a stranger in this room, and then Song Lian saw the scene under the mahjong table, it can be said that everything is so natural.

Discussions like this happen every day, and sometimes, Tianzhuang Zhuang and Zhao Fei will also put forward some different opinions with the play's own ideas, and what Wu Jianye has to do is to pick out some things that are beneficial to the movie among these opinions.

A week later.

"Okay, that's pretty much the same here, can we go back and talk to the studio and the academy, so that the actors can come over to experience life and rehearsals!"

Wu Jianye nodded, "I think it's okay, let's discuss it with the county government tomorrow, and we can leave about accommodation!"

Now unlike in later generations, even the county has a lot of hotels and guesthouses, and in this era, the only place that Zhaoyu can accommodate dozens of people is the county guest house, but due to the number of people, it must be reported to the county government in advance!

The next day, Wu Jianye came to the county government again and communicated their situation with the county government, and the county government expressed its support for their filming mission.

Wu Jianye remembered the role of Yan'er, and didn't know if Dai Zhaoan could find Ru Xi, so he called Dai Zhaoan to inquire about it, but he didn't expect Dai Zhaoan to find it.

In fact, it was not Dai Zhaoan who found it, but Gong Zhen who found it.

"How did Ah Xue find Ru Xi?" Wu Jianye asked curiously on the phone.

Dai Zhaoan said with a smile: "It turns out that Ru Zheng's father and Gong Zhen's father know each other, just two days ago in the factory, I met Gong Zhen, and I happened to tell her about this matter, who knew that there was such a relationship between them, why didn't Gong Zhen tell you?"

How to tell me, Wu Jianye has been busy with filming during this time, and he has not contacted other people at all, and now he has no mobile phone, so Gong Zhen and they naturally can't find him.

After hanging up the phone, Wu Jianye thought for a while, he shouldn't have an intersection with Zhu Yan when he filmed this movie, which means that even if Ru Yan came to the crew, he shouldn't know about his affairs with Zhu Yan, and naturally Gong Zhen wouldn't know about it.

So he called Gong Bin and Gong Bin was naturally very happy when he received a call from Wu Jianye.

He said, "I helped you find the actor you wanted, how can you thank me?"

Wu Jianye smiled and said: "I don't thank you for my great kindness, I can only promise it with my body!"

"Go, you will know to take advantage of me!"

Through the phone, Wu Jianye could see Gong Bin's slightly upturned mouth on the other end of the phone.

"But this matter may be a little troublesome!"

Gong Yan's words made Wu Jianye slightly stunned and asked, "What's the trouble?"

"Ru Xi is now in her third year of high school, and his family doesn't seem to approve of her going to shoot a movie at this time!"

"I don't agree with it, does that mean there is still a discussion?" Wu Jianye is naturally not a person who gives up easily.

"Well, but you have to be a big director to do it yourself!" Gong Yin said with a smile on the other end of the phone, in fact, she could convince Ru Xi's family, but he and Wu Jianye hadn't seen each other for a long time, so he naturally hoped that Wu Jianye could also come to Huhai.
