Chapter 769: Impoverished Areas
After living in this small village for a few days, the crew of "Red Sorghum" arrived one after another.
Originally, the protagonists of this play chose Guo Dalu and Wang Xiaolu, but recently Wang Xiaolu has been pregnant for six or seven months, so she naturally can't participate, Guo Dalu retreated and let Song Qian replace Wang Xiaolu and play the role of Jiu'er, that is, Dai Yulian.
In addition to Guo Dalu and Song Qian, the rest of the supporting roles in this play are also extraordinary, the person who plays Luohan is Li Guigui, who played Liu Luoguo before, and the rest of the supporting roles are also old drama bones specially selected by Guo Dalu from the theater, so there is definitely no need to worry about acting skills.
And the villain in this play, the actor of Tusanpao, is Guo Dalu's younger brother Guo Changgeng, among Guo Dalu's junior brothers, although none of them are handsome, their temperament is actually not bad, but Guo Changgeng looks a little different, and he is born with a ruthless atmosphere.
Just like Guo Changgeng mocked himself, "Senior brother, I'm standing in front of the camera now, either the black boss or the king of the mountain, I don't look like a good person", this guy is born to play a villain.
Yan Zhendong played by him has sharp eyes and sharp movements, which impressed many audiences, but now that Guo Dalu has asked him to play the role of a literary film, this guy is a bit cowardly.
"Senior brother, senior brother, I can act in an action movie if you ask me to act, but I can't act in this literary film! Don't act badly and be laughed at by these teachers!"
After Guo Changgeng was called to the crew by Guo Dalu, his face was uneasy, and he had a sense of inferiority, "Senior brother, I can't get this literary film! You better find the second senior brother and a few of them, but a few of them still have some acting skills, and I'm still far behind!"
As a film and television actor who became a monk halfway through the wild road, Guo Changgeng has always consciously isolated himself from orthodox actors, he has always felt that he is "playing", not "acting", and he is very unconfident in his acting skills.
Guo Dalu's eyes widened, "Look at you like a bear! What can't you do? It's just a few lines, what are you afraid of? Is there a shame?"
He reprimanded Guo Changgeng a few times before he stabilized him.
In the play "Red Sorghum", in Guo Dalu's view, in addition to the scene of the sedan car and the scene of singing the Dionysian comedy, what is impressive is the scene of the car burning at the end.
But as far as Guo Dalu himself is concerned, the whole story is too compact, and the advancement of the storyline is too rough, if you have not read this book, it is difficult to keep up with the director's creative intentions and the characters played by the actors in the movie when watching this play.
However, since this movie can win the award, it naturally has its merits, this drama is full of rich Chinese elements, passionate music, and a wild atmosphere full of hormones seems to overflow from the screen, giving people a strong visual shock and spiritual infection, from this point of view, there is still a certain reason why this movie can win awards in another world.
But this is not the reason why Guo Dalu wants to shoot this drama, the reason why he wants to shoot this drama is mainly to promote this book, and after the film is filmed, the book "Red Sorghum" will naturally be widely known, and it can also make more people pay attention to the original work.
Song Qian, as the heroine of this play, is actually quite suitable, because she has followed Wang Xiaolu to practice martial arts in the past two years, her body is extremely strong, she is tall, as long as she dresses up a little, she is a sturdy rural woman image, and she is also a woman image full of life tension.
After Song Qian came to this village, she felt that it didn't matter if she was not adapted to the crew, because she was born in a peasant family and her family was also very poor, if it weren't for the funding of her aunt in the city, she wouldn't have been able to afford to go to college, let alone go to a music university with expensive tuition.
"Our hometown is actually not much different from here!"
After a preliminary understanding of the situation in this village, Song Qian said to Guo Dalu: "Brother Dalu, there is also a big gap between the countryside and the countryside, your hometown Baolan City, although it is not a rich province in the country, but at least you don't have to worry about eating and drinking, the most basic life can be guaranteed, and as long as you are willing to work hard, all modern facilities can be enjoyed." ”
"But in some areas, it's not good, like here, it's really poor! Poor people don't have a few pairs of pants, let alone rice, and even potatoes may not be able to guarantee that they are full! Because they are too poor, people will become two extremes, one is to accept their fate and live in peace, and the other is to find ways to get rid of poverty and become rich. ”
Song Qian explained to Guo Dalu and others: "I came out of a poor mountainous area, so I know better than you about the living conditions of this kind of villagers! The people here have lost the intrinsic motivation to change their fate, and if they want to get them out of poverty and ignorance, they can only start with the next generation." Older people can no longer change their minds, only children are hope. ”
She looked at Zhang Jianzhong, "Director Zhang, you said that the people here are unable to help the poor, and no matter how much they do, it will be in vain? I don't agree with this point! Is poverty alleviation a work that can bear fruit in a day or two? If poverty is so easy to get rid of, why does our motherland have to go through several decades of struggle and hard work to achieve today's slightly richer achievement?"
"Although poverty alleviation is difficult, isn't it that the poverty alleviation group has not drawn up a long-term poverty alleviation plan? How many of the poverty alleviation projects that can really be carried out persistently and have been doing all the time? In our rural areas, there is a lack of real doers who go deep into the rural areas! When I say going deep into the rural areas, I mean people who really mingle with the residents of the poor areas, not those old men who come down to conduct research and still wear leather shoes!"
Song Qian's words, Zhang Jianzhong was speechless, even the staff in the entire crew who complained all day long didn't know what to say.
Born in a poor mountainous area, they know the poor villagers best, and they have the most right to speak, and what they say is reasonable, and no one can refute it.
In the end, Guo Dalu ended the topic, "Okay, okay, the poorer the people at the bottom, the more ugly they are, this is the result of survival persecution, and if we are in their situation, we may not be much better than them!"
"This kind of thing will be handed over to the relevant departments to deal with, all we can do is to try our best to expose this kind of thing, so that our Chinese people know that there is such a poor group of people here, and their net income for a year is even less than the daily salary of people in the city!"
After simple preparations, filming began for "Red Sorghum".
But when I was just about to shoot and shoot, there were many villagers nearby, and some children were trying to ask the staff for food.
These people were noisy and yelling, and it was difficult to continue the filming, and finally after calling the village chief, these people dispersed one by one.
"Pay them to do some work, boss!"
The village chief is a thin old man, who is a little knowledgeable in the village, he doesn't know Guo Dalu, nor does he know Song Qian and others, so he knows that these people in front of him are rich people, and rich people have to call the boss.
He looked at Guo Dalu pitifully, "The village is poor, the dolls have never eaten anything delicious, if you have money, hire some people in the village to do some work, it doesn't matter how much money you have, just give the children something good!"
Guo Dalu sighed, "What can these men in your village do?"
