The city of ice and snow in winter is covered in snow, and it is especially beautiful when the sky is snowing heavily. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Chen Hao and his entourage were lucky to arrive at Meicheng before the highway was closed due to heavy snow, a fresh small city, this is Ma Zhong's evaluation of the first time to see the city, the rules and regulations, there are no intricate blocks, the city is not big, it is clean, especially the car is specially driven by the river, all the way to see the construction of a river on both sides of the city center, the car window is slightly open, so that a little cold air outside with a little snowflake drifts into the car, the heat of the warm air in the car is dispersed, and the coat is put on, but I feel a little comfortableγ
"Brother Ma, are you tired, take a rest first? Although we don't have any high-end hotels here, it is better to be clean. β
"I slept on the plane, I'm not tired, you haven't gone home yet, go directly to your house, I want to taste the authentic Northeast farmhouse food, don't take me to eat anything else, just eat at your house." β
"Good. β
The countryside is very quiet in winter, and apart from the smoke from every house, you just expect a certain time when the children will be running around the village, having snowball fights, and pulling plows. Playing mahjong, drinking and chatting is a standard life outside of normal home work every day.
For example, the Chen family, early in the morning, Chen Yuanping swept the yard, so that there was no snow in the yard, this is very important, talk about some old etiquette in the countryside, just like your house does not draw the curtains when the morning dawns, and the chimney does not smoke will be paid attention to whether people are diligent, if the yard is not clean, the villagers who walk by will feel that your Chen family does not look like a family of people.
At this time, Qiao Xinmei made a fire to cook, now Chen Er is at home, no matter how late he sleeps at night, he guarantees to get up in the morning, help sweep the yard and make the fire, and make the whole house hot, after breakfast, Chen Er will help Qiao Xinmei feed the poultry and livestock in the back yard, Chen Yuanping drove to the village committee, not for work, get together and have a good place to chat, besides, he is driving without a license, so he only dares to drive for a few minutes on the village road where there are no people and cars, if it is not for car addiction, walking is actually more convenient than this.
Qiao Xinmei at home is done with everything, so she goes out to play mahjong in the village shop, and the automatic mahjong machine has to charge a table fee, she used to care, but now she has let her son raise her in a short period of time and don't care about those things.
In winter, the family is two meals, breakfast at nine o'clock, dinner at two or three o'clock, to seven or eight o'clock in the evening hungry to eat a little pastry, most people go to bed at eight or nine o'clock, during this time Qiao Xinmei mahjong played less, now the family has several cars, the eldest daughter from time to time to go home to live for a few days, it was originally the next village not far away, the two families are now getting along, a week to have three or four days to eat together, a foot on the accelerator, and a family is no different.
High-end electric gate, pay attention to a little maintenance, even in winter there will be no problem, the Wrangler has not entered the yard, the family has already heard the voice, the second son is the first to come out, a large family is there, Chen Xue's father-in-law, Zhang Dongmei and her object, is preparing to make dinner, everyone is sitting on the kang chatting, teasing Chen Xue's children, a big family is very lively.
As soon as Chen Hao and Chen Gang came back, they instantly felt that there was a lively central atmosphere at home, and when they saw that there were still guests in the car, everyone showed the enthusiasm of greeting the guests in the northeast countryside.
"This is from the magic capital, director Ma Zhongma, who shot the MV for me, recently came here to take a look, and the spring will make an online movie for us. β
MVοΌ
Movie?
Such words, for this large family, are a little lofty and a little distant, and in their life dictionary, these have never had any intersection with their lives.
"Ahh β
"Uncle, just call me Xiaoma or Ma Zhong, we will have a lot of contact in the future, there is no need to be polite, I came this time, but I have to taste the Northeast peasant dishes made by my aunt, I take the liberty of disturbing, I am thick-skinned enough, I didn't take a meeting gift at all, I didn't treat myself as an outsider, uncle, you must not be polite." β
"You are a great director, it's good to be able to come to our house, how do you say that, yes, it's full of brilliance!"
Chen Yuanping's idiom caused everyone to laugh, and the living room of the Chen family was also warm, after all, not everyone is used to going to other people's homes directly cross-legged to the kang to do it, and a large family sat down in the living room, this Ma Zhong is not a pedantic person, and he understands the world, but there is a little arrogance for his talent that makes him repeatedly hit a wall.
After sitting down, he took out a thousand yuan from his pocket and stuffed it to Chen Xue's child.
"Mom, eldest sister, you have to give Brother Ma a step down, take it, treat Brother Ma to a meal in the evening, and you'll have it." "Chen Hao came out to solve the siege, the etiquette of a thousand yuan, he can get it back casually here, this time I will make good arrangements for the whole process, and when it comes to co-filming, I will give a little more director's fee, and I will find it everywhere.
"Then I'll prepare, kid, what do you want to eat?"
Chen Xue accepted the money, Qiao Xinmei felt that people were guests from afar, and they were a little timid, worried that they would not be used to eating the farm food they cooked.
Ma Zhong smiled: "Auntie, I have been to the Northeast to film before, and I like the dishes of our Northeast, sauerkraut, and pickles." β
Chen Hao also smiled on the side: "Mom, you just usually entertain the dishes of the guests at home, second son, you help my mother weigh it, don't get some big fish and meat." β
Chen Er nodded: "I know, brother." β
In this house, Chen Yuanping's good tea was also taken out, and the good cigarettes were also taken out, and the women in the family were still a little afraid of seeing guests, so they left the living room on the grounds of watching the children and helping with the dishes, leaving the living room to the men, this Chen Xue's father-in-law, Zhang Dongmei's objects are all authentic farmers, when they see the director, just these two words are enough to make them restrained, and they don't know what to say, for fear of saying the wrong thing, now the Chen family is what they need to look up to, high, other people's guests, those are all distinguished guests, we can accompany us to drink tea and smoke a cigarette, and follow the words of others, then it will be enough to brag and brag to others in the future.
"Brother Ma, let's go, come to my side, take a shower, change your clothes and be comfortable, let's come over for dinner again, Dad, get some pure little roast, then drink the dishes on our side." β
After drinking two cups of tea, smoking a cigarette, and chatting for more than ten minutes, I talked about the mountains and forests in the countryside, what are the fun and delicious things to eat in winter, look at the time, Chen Hao ended this relatively embarrassing chat.
For the repair of this farmhouse courtyard, Ma Zhong gave a thumbs up, took a hot bath, changed into a sportswear he brought, covered with a down jacket coat, and entered the fitness room, there is the temperature of the kang wall inside, as well as the temperature of the air conditioner, it is very warm, the brand-new billiard table is covered with a dust cloth, and it is all new when you open it, and he can't bear it anymore if he likes this, Chen Gang accompanied him to fight, poured a glass of Chivas Regal, put in two ice cubes, drank wine and played ball, and played rhythmic music- It's quiet, especially when you look through the window and see the snowflakes outside the plastic greenhouse.
Chen Er came over to take Chen Hao's position, and the three of them brought a little bit of winning and losing to play, Chen Yuanping came in and said with a smile that he would come to join in the fun for a while, he played ball since he was young, and Ma Zhong also responded with a smile, Uncle, let's have a good fight.
In the East House, Qiao Xinmei, Zhang Dongmei and Chen Xue's mother-in-law were busy together, fading the feathers of the goose, and one of the main dishes in the evening was the goose stewed sauerkraut.
Chen Xue also called her husband and second sister, and asked them to buy some things when they came back, fresh fruits, and some ingredients that were not available at home.
Chen Hao's trophy also made the family love it for a long time, the best male newcomer of the year, they don't know how much gold the award has, just like they don't know the gold content of the top ten golden songs on the Chinese list, but they feel that as long as Chen Hao wins the award, it is all honor, and it is worth bragging about in many places.
"Son, you said to make a movie, what the hell is going on, you tell your father, you are getting bigger and bigger now, and my father is a little unsure in his heart. "Chen Yuanping became the village director, and he has improved a lot in all aspects, and he speaks naggedly, and he has also gained a bit of the level of a village official.
"Don't look at me, it's just that I wrote a script, not the kind of movie that is released in the cinema, the cost is too big, and we don't have experience, this investment may be filmed with less than one million, I was originally ready to invest myself, and now the consortium in the live broadcast room will invest together, it is estimated that I will not have a chance to take the money when the time comes, and I don't need any well-known actors, except that the shooting team is professional, the others are more life-oriented, and they will be broadcast on the Internet when the time comes. Chen Hao explained to his family in the simplest way.
"Then how do you make money, you make a movie, you can't make it free for others to see, right?"
"Dad, what do you say about this thing, there will also be paid sales online, but it's not to make money, online movies, what you want is fame, fame, there will be follow-up shooting, then you can have sponsorship, there are advertising placements, and at the same time, the actors who are famous in the play can also carry out commercial activities and participate in some other money-making activities, online movies are more like a platform, and they don't have much commercial value in themselves, but it can provide commercial value to people who perform on the platform. Well, in this way, you can understand that this is my dream plan for myself after several failures in the art exam. β
