Chapter 308: To the Mountains
Kung Fu Little Fox was invested by Xinghan Film and Television and Li Yan together, of which Xinghan Film and Television invested 5 million and Li Yan invested 10 million.
Although this is not a big-budget movie, and there are no first-line stars involved, it still attracts the attention of many fans, in addition to the popularity brought by Guo Yanqiu and Shen Yunyun, there are also many fans of Little Fox.
The filming location is in the Funing Film and Television Center, and part of the plot needs to be filmed at Funing University, which went very smoothly under Chen Zhao's arrangement.
The actors in the whole movie are all newcomers, and there may be a certain gap between them and those old actors in terms of acting skills. But I don't know how many times better than those so-called "little fresh meat".
Before the start of filming, Li Yan repeatedly asked to refuse to rely on the appearance of the "little fresh meat", no acting skills, no dedication, and no big names.
As the protagonist of the movie, Little Fox's acting skills are quite powerful, and there will be no laughter, which greatly reduces the difficulty and cost of shooting, and it was originally expected to be filmed in a month. In the end, it only took twenty-three days.
The post-processing of the film was handed over to the professional team, which had little to do with the actors, just to free up time for Li Yan to follow the volunteer teaching team to the mountains.
The volunteer teaching activity was organized by a retired professor from the Teachers College, and a total of 36 students responded.
Because of financial problems. He once asked his old colleague Chen Zhao for help, but he didn't have much hope, but he didn't expect Chen Zhao to bring him a rich man, who not only solved the lack of funds, but also promised to provide a job. All problems are solved.
"Hello Professor Zhang, this time I went to Yunnan-Guishan District with you, please take care of me. Li Yan shook hands with the organizer Zhang Haofeng and introduced Chen Aili next to him: "This is my bodyguard, he will drive my pet to Spring City, and then meet us." ”
Zhang Haofeng was stunned and asked in surprise: "Dong Li, do you want to take your pet to the mountains together?"
"That's right, they're like my family, and I can't leave them at home. Li Yan pursed his lips and said, "But I can guarantee that it won't cause trouble on the road, and it won't affect the speed of the march." ”
Pushing the frame, Zhang Haofeng looked a little embarrassed, considering that Li Yan donated both money and materials, and helped the teaching team a lot, and finally agreed.
Animals can't take the train, Li Yan asked Chen Aili to drive the Audi to take the first step and send Xiaobai and them to Spring City as soon as possible, while he himself took the train with the teaching team.
Arrive in Spring City and recuperate for two days at your booked hotel. After buying all the necessary supplies, a group of 39 people chartered three cars and went to Stone Village, Baiyu Town, Heyang County, which was also the final destination of the trip.
Heyang County is a small mountainous county, and its economy is much worse than that of Dening County.
Li Yan and Chen Aili have good physical fitness, and they can barely adapt to this kind of road, but those students who participate in the volunteer teaching can't hold on, and the car doesn't drive for long, and they all vomit so much that they have to stop and rest halfway.
Zhang Haofeng saw that Li Yan and the two of them did not change their faces, and admired them very much: "I didn't see it, Li Dong and Ai Li are quite able to take the car, the first time I came here, I vomited worse than the students, and my stomach was about to vomit." ”
Li Yan saw the highway with three steps and a small pothole, and five steps and a big pothole, and couldn't help frowning: "The road conditions here are really bad, and if you want to get rich, you must build the road first." I dare not say that this sentence is 100% correct, but there is still a certain amount of truth, even the road cannot be repaired, what can be used to develop the economy. ”
Zhang Haofeng pointed to the distance and sighed: "This area is all mountainous, the cost of road repair is high, and it is undoubtedly an astronomical amount to repair the entire road, it is not easy!"
After resting for more than 20 minutes, the motion sickness situation improved slightly, and the group hit the road again and arrived in Baiyu Town before lunch.
Most of the young and middle-aged laborers in this town go to work in other places, and seventy or eighty percent of them are old, weak, women and children, and there are only one or two restaurants in the whole town.
After lunch, Li Yan and the others began to walk to Stone Village.
It's not that they don't want to take a car, it's that they don't have a car to sit on, and they walk on narrow mountain roads, and there is no way to get a bicycle, let alone a large bus.
The gap in physical fitness was once again revealed, Li Yan and Chen Aili were holding a group of pets with red faces and panting, and they were carrying large travel bags, as if they were really here to travel.
Other students were panting and pale, walking more and more slowly, and some girls even fell behind.
Li Yan glanced behind him, stopped and said to a few thin girls, "Come on, come on, you give me the luggage." ”
Originally, there were a few boys in the team who dared to be angry with Li Yan, thinking that he shouldn't bring pets. will drag down the entire team, but the result is diametrically opposite, it is not Li Yan who drags the team, but themselves.
Although the puppies looked round and covered in flesh, their endurance was quite amazing, and they walked on the mountain road as if they were walking on the ground, and they did not look tired at all.
The other boys could only protect themselves, Li Yan and Chen Aili became coolies, carrying two backpacks in one hand, and their steps were still very relaxed, and everyone was stunned.
Chen Aili is a bodyguard, has undergone professional training, and it is understandable that he has good physical fitness, Li Yan is a big boss with a net worth of more than 100 million, and his physical fitness is not weaker than that of a bodyguard, which really shocks them.
Stone Village is located in a remote location, and the team traveled for two hours to arrive, and everyone was too tired to look human.
Zhang Haofeng had taught in Stone Village for a period of time before, and he was familiar with the villagers, and it didn't take long for the village chief and a few villagers to come out to greet him.
When I arrived at the village chief's house, it was not to the extent that the four walls of the house were empty, but it was not far behind, and some rooms did not even have electric lights, and candles were used for lighting.
The village chief is an old man who is over the age of six, and his wife died young. The three sons are all working in other places, and he and two grandchildren are the only ones in the family, all of whom are of primary school age.
On the way here, Li Yan heard Zhang Haofeng say that there was no formal primary school in the village, and a few dilapidated houses were cleaned up as classrooms, and the desks and chairs were all improvised patchwork, and even the textbooks could not be put together.
Li Yan took some small snacks and distributed them to the three children, looking at their fearful eyes, his heart was quite sour.
They are typical left-behind children who have never been to a big city. I rarely even go to the town, and suddenly I see so many strangers, and I can't help but feel a little uncomfortable.
According to the village chief, there are as many as 50 or 60 left-behind children in the village, none of whom have received formal education, and no one has taught them to read since Zhang Haofeng left last time.
There are several villages like Stone Village, and there are several in Baiyu Town, and the situation is roughly the same.
The students in the teaching team are all fresh graduates of the university, and they are in the midst of their youth, and they are deeply touched by this.
To Li Yan's relief, there is a village doctor in the village, who is the only villager in the village who has gone to college, and after graduating from medical school, he gave up a high-paying job. It has been five years since he returned to his hometown to serve the villagers.
The village doctor's actions are ordinary and great, Li Yan is ashamed of himself, he feels that such a person should be rewarded.
Under the leadership of the village chief, everyone walked around the village, and the houses were all old-fashioned mud houses, with few red brick and cement houses in sight, and the temporary classrooms were even more dilapidated, with walls and roofs ventilated everywhere.
"There's not even a normal blackboard, how can this be classed?" muttered a female student.
Conditions in the village were more difficult than they had imagined. There are no basic teaching tools, and some students are already drumming in their hearts, not sure if they can stay for two years.
"Students, we are here to teach, not to enjoy happiness, I can clearly tell you that the life here will be very hard, if someone wants to quit, I will not force it. Zhang Haofeng looked at everyone and said.
The students looked at each other, perhaps for the sake of face, and no one offered to leave.
Li Yan sighed, now that the freshness has not passed, all the students can stay, and after ten days and half a month, there will definitely be fluctuations in people's hearts, and it is unknown how many can last until half a year later.
Teaching is based on his own will, Zhang Haofeng will not force anyone to stay, and he has no right to ask students to stay.
Walking out of the tattered classroom, Li Yan's heart became heavier, he wanted to let go of it before he came, but now he was a little overwhelmed, and he didn't know where to start in order to really change the village.
Walking to Li Yan's side, Zhang Haofeng said in a deep voice: "Li Dong, you can come here with us thousands of miles away, I know that you are different from those entrepreneurs who put on a show, if you can, try to help a group of stone villages." ”
Looking at the green mountains in the distance, Li Yan's eyes were confused for a while, and then he became more resolute.
He not only wants to change Stone Village, but also the entire Baiyu Town, where he wants to draw a strong stroke for his charity!
