Chapter 436: Deep Mountains and Old Forests

The next day.

As soon as the sky was bright, Lin Xiaoguang, accompanied by the crew and Mayor Li and other government officials, came to Qinglong Village to watch the scenery.

Qinglong Village, located in the deep mountains of Yuan'an County, is another filming location for the crew of "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" in Yuan'an.

The traffic in Qinglong Village is very inconvenient, and the road leading to the village is only a narrow path.

The reason why Lin Xiaoguang set the filming location in the deep mountains and old forests is naturally to avoid media harassment.

I saw that surrounded by dark blue hills, mountains full of rape flowers, and a clear stream called "Yuanjia River" passed through the village - Qinglong Village was like a paradise, in Lin Xiaoguang's view, it was like Xicunping with mountains and rivers in the middle.

Moreover, in the 70s, Qinglong Village was the place where Wuhan's educated youth went to the countryside, which is also an important reason why Lin Xiaoguang chose the filming location here.

Walking in the village, Lin Xiaoguang saw the water heaters and satellite receiving pots on the roofs of many houses in the village, frowned, and said to the village party secretary Lao Wang, who was entourage: "Secretary Wang, can you help me remove all the things on the roof?"

The village party secretary glanced at Lin Xiaoguang and said angrily: "Why do you take it down, wow? The villagers don't need to watch TV or take a hot shower?"

Seeing that Lao Wang, the village party secretary, didn't seem to be willing to cooperate with Lin Xiaoguang's work, Mayor Li scolded on the spot: "Lao Wang, the director told you to demolish it, where is there so much nonsense?"

Inevitably hurt the harmony, Lin Xiaoguang immediately comforted the two of them: "Mayor Li, Secretary Wang, don't worry, you two leaders, we are just temporarily removing it, and after filming the scenes in your village, we will help you install it again." ”

"Because these things are so modern, we're going to shoot your house, and if these things don't be removed, the movie will be a goof. ”

After listening to Lin Xiaoguang's explanation, Mayor Li said with interest: "Director, don't worry, I will send someone to dismantle it immediately." ”

Hearing Mayor Li's answer, Lin Xiaoguang nodded with satisfaction: "Then there is Mayor Lao Li." ”

Li Zhenchang said with a smile on his face: "Where is it, this is what we should do, and it is the purpose of our work to be affirmed by Director Lin and the crew!"

Afterwards, Lin Xiaoguang continued to watch the scenery in the village.

Taking advantage of Lin Xiaoguang's efforts to watch the scenery seriously, Mayor Li pulled the village party secretary aside and said earnestly: "Lao Wang, don't be full and support others to raise the bar, and let you cooperate with this director's scene selection work, but I don't mean it alone." ”

The village party secretary is also a hard bone, and muttered dissatisfiedly: "Mayor of the town, since it's not what you mean, then why should I bother him, who does he think he is, tell me to demolish it, it's easy to say, don't I have to do the ideological work of those villagers?"

"It's useless for you to tell me this, this is what the city leaders mean, the city will personally issue the document, and it can be directly implemented to your village party secretary through the procedure. After a pause, Mayor Li continued: "This is issued as a political task, if you don't obey the command, you will dig your own grave, and it will affect me, do you understand?"

When he heard the words "political task", the village party secretary couldn't help but sigh: "Alas, it's really a drama, even the city leaders have to give him face......

Mayor Li looked at Lao Wang with disdain: "One bite at a time, do you think you can say a few idioms, and you are a cultural person?"

"He can pay for us to make a movie here, is he helping us promote it for free, do you understand?"

"My old man doesn't understand these big truths, but I will still listen to your words as a leader. ”

"That's pretty much it!"

Obviously, in addition to this illiterate Secretary Wang, even if they are raised in the deep boudoir, officials of all sizes in Yuan'an know that Lin Xiaoguang's movies have the magic of "turning stones into gold".

Because Yuan'an County, where the filming was filmed, is located at the southern foot of Shennongjia, adjacent to the Three Gorges Reservoir area, and has a remote geographical location, since the country started the construction of the "third line" in the sixties and seventies of the last century, Yuan'an has undertaken a large number of military enterprises, and the factories are distributed in the mountains of different sizes in the county.

So much so that today, Yuan'an County is still the only county in Hushao Province that is not open to the outside world.

As early as the end of last year, I heard that the well-known domestic director Lin Xiaoguang was going to make a movie about "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree", which is known as "the purest love story in history".

Officials in Hushao Province and Yichang City, who have a keen sense of smell, unanimously believed that the place where the story in the original book took place was in Yichang, and immediately regarded "winning Lin Xiaoguang to come to Yichang to make a movie" as an urgent task for their officials.

After Li Chunming, then member of the Standing Committee of the Hushao Provincial Party Committee and Minister of Propaganda, learned of Lin Xiaoguang's intention to shoot, he immediately contacted the investor Huayi Brothers, and then warmly invited Lin Xiaoguang to enter Hushao for filming.

Guo Youming, a high-ranking official of Yichang City who was on an inspection tour, also said that he would "actively strive for it" after seeing the news published in the local Chinese-language newspaper.

For this reason, the Yichang Municipal Party Committee specially sent Zhao Juhai, member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Minister of Propaganda, to Beijing several times to express Yichang's enthusiasm to the Huayi brothers.

It should be said that this is completely what they fought for.

It's not Lin Xiaoguang personally, nor is it the crew of "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" who asks for them.

Before Lin Xiaoguang's arrival, the crew of "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" went to Yuan'an County, a subordinate of Yichang City, for the first time to select the scene, on December 28, 2008.

At that time, there was a "summary of the situation of Yuan'an County's assistance in filming the movie "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree", which had the following statement: "In accordance with the principle of 'attaching great importance to ideology and supporting and cooperating in work', special personnel and special vehicles were arranged to actively provide logistics support, which lasted for 5 months, and the crew of "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" was divided into 5 batches successively to carry out the scene selection work in the county.

It is also because of these instructions that the crew of "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" was able to carry out the selection of scenes in Yuan'an so smoothly.

Subsequently, Lin Xiaoguang, under the leadership of the village party secretary, went to the house of the villager Granny Ding to see the scene.

Granny Ding, who is in her 80s, is the third of a row of six families on a hill, and her home was chosen by the crew as the main filming location in Qinglong Village.

If you want to reach Granny Ding's house, a stone bridge built over the Yuanjia River is the only way to go.

When Lin Xiaoguang came here, he saw that the staff were using granite to guard the small bridge, and some people went down to the river to polish the bridge with sandpaper in their hands, and the polished stone bridge was black and shiny.

Like the former site of the Yangping Town Government, the exterior wall of Granny Ding's house has also been worn out by the crew, and slogans such as "Long Live the People's Commune" and "*** Quotations" have been painted on the walls.

Under the eaves, radishes and pickles are hung in bunches, and farm tools are leaning against one wall, all of which are specially transported by the crew.

On the wall, there is also a "work division announcement column", and the names of the sons of Zhang Village's eldest sons, "Changsen" and "Changlin", are impressively visible in the original work.

Because the local government specially sent villagers to guard the scene, no one was allowed to take pictures, especially Granny Ding's house, the gate was closed, and it was easy for people to enter.

However, since director Lin Xiaoguang came, he naturally entered Granny Ding's house very easily.

As soon as he entered the door, Lin Xiaoguang was immediately attracted by the innermost square table, on which was placed a striking white pottery bust, and next to the statue was a kerosene lamp.

On the walls on all sides of the room, there are also portraits of ***, and there are also farm items such as rice cabinets and hats in the room.

Except for the long plaque on the portrait of ***, which is Granny Ding's own, all the furnishings in the room are props arranged by the crew.

A round dustpan in the room is particularly eye-catching, as it contains an awl for shoe-binding and a shoe upper, as well as a small bell for coaxing children.

Since there is a description in the original book about Jingqiu making shoes for Changlin in return, and from the existing set in Granny Ding's house, Lin Xiaoguang is almost certain that this is the interior filming location of the village chief of Zhongzhang.

Her house was selected by director Lin Xiaoguang, and Granny Ding was very proud.

When Lin Xiaoguang was leaving, she jokingly asked her if she was willing to play a cameo role in the movie, and Granny Ding said without hesitation: "Then I must play it." ”

The toilet was also plugged at night, and the toilet was open for a long time...... The state is very poor, there is only one change today, ///10_10077/
