The crew stayed in the county seat and filmed for two more days, mainly to make up for Wang Dalun's shots. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info divide the money in the hotel room; wander on the street, being scolded by the car driver and not daring to reply, shrinking his head and hiding aside; learning to sing a red song with a lady who has tampered with obscene lyrics in a very low-grade KTV; *** in the room, etc.

Li Yang tried his best to add drama to him, such as the scene between the two in the room, focusing on the passionate love scene between Wang Dalun and the song hall lady in the bathroom, and specially designed a "fast gunman" stalk for him. Saying that this is more likely to show the kind of entanglement in his heart, and if there is pressure in his heart, this kind of thing will naturally be fast.

The filming location of the small coal kiln is in the north of the county seat, which is said to be an important coal mining area, but it is far away, seventy or eighty kilometers away from the county seat, and you have to go into the mountains. Except for Li Yang who went to contact, see the scenery, and went once, no one else had been there.

Early in the morning of the third day, three dilapidated minibuses set off with all the members of the film crew. To Wang Dalun's surprise, the crew openly flaunted the banner of the CCTV movie channel "Hometown" film crew.

"Is this true or fake?" he secretly asked Bao Zhenjiang, the assistant director sitting next to him.

"Of course it's true. ”

"Can this script we shoot pass the review?"

Wang Dalun was really surprised this time, he is known as the "queen actor of the sixth generation of directors", a proper "king of banned films", and he has a lot of experience in the review standards of relevant departments. Li Yang's "Hometown" is definitely much larger than Lao Jia's so-called "Hometown Trilogy", and even "East Palace and West Palace" and "Seafood".

This kind of script can pass the review, could it be that the sun came out of the west? Or is Li Yang the godson of a certain bigwig?

Bao Zhenjiang smiled mysteriously at him: "Censorship is one thing, filming is another. ”

Wang Dalun instantly understood, after working for a long time, it turned out to be a "yin and yang script", the script for review was one set, and the script during the actual filming was another. This is somewhat similar to some movies that engage in two versions of the sideshow.

To make a film in China, you generally need to obtain three certificates: a film shooting license, a film distribution business license, and a film release license. Among them, the film release permit issued by the relevant departments is the most bullish, which is the leading logo on the green background that appears at the beginning of the movie, which says the public screening license and the electronic review number. This is commonly known as the "Film Passage Order", also known as the "Film Birth Permit".

It's just to send your movie to the relevant departments for review after the editing is completed, and then all kinds of "harmony" or something. If you pass the examination, you will be able to release the film in China; if you fail to pass the examination and get the film release permit, then your first two licenses will be in vain, not only will you not be able to release them, you will not be able to participate in film festivals, you will not be able to disseminate them through the Internet, and you will not be able to produce audio and video products, which will block all your way out.

In the end, even if you get a film shooting permit, it is useless, at most it is to prove that you are legal at the time of filming. But in the past few years, there are many underground movies made in the mainland, and Hong Kong and Taiwan movies have come to the mainland to shoot secretly, not to mention that Li Yang's movie was never planned to be released in the mainland, otherwise he would not be so bold, and all kinds of "low-level fun" things that were banned by the government were stuffed into it.

"Maybe it's because after being "corroded" by bourgeois ideology abroad for more than ten years, Li Yang is used to abiding by the law, and he is not as bold as Lao Jia and Zhu Wen!" Wang Dalun could only think so.

Although the road leading from the county to the most remote coal-producing area in the north is an asphalt county road, it has long been crushed by all kinds of heavy-duty coal trucks. And now it is the peak season of coal production, and there are big trucks coming and going all the way, stopping and stopping, and the road of seventy or eighty kilometers is hard to walk for nearly three hours. By the time we arrived in town, it was almost time for lunch.

The town is shabby, but it's a coal-producing area, and it's the peak season, so it's bustling with people, with small restaurants, video parlors, billiard rooms, and beauty salons and foot baths that specialize in "health pheasant soup".

Because there is not only a scene of a small coal kiln in the play, but also a play in the town. The crew chartered a small hotel in the town with relatively good conditions.

The well-connected small coal kiln is still more than ten miles away from the town, and the conditions of the small coal kiln are limited, so it is impossible to have the conditions to receive a huge crew. After settling down, while having lunch, Li Yang discussed with the three leading actors that it was best for them to go to the mine to eat and live with the miners, so that they could better find their feelings.

Of course, Wang Dalun has no problem, and Wang Baoqiang doesn't care, but Wang Shuangbao hesitated a little, and when he saw that both of them agreed, he had to nod his head in agreement.

After Li Yang left, Wang Shuangbao whispered to them to prepare them mentally, because he had seen the small coal kilns in Shaanxi before, and the conditions there were difficult and simply not a place for people to stay.

How hard can it be? Wang Dalun thought about how hard he had worked everywhere in his previous life, and most of the time he lived and ate in the eyes of the people in the city, so he didn't come here as well! But then the facts told him that Wang Shuangbao was so old that he did not live on a dog, and he was definitely insightful.

After eating, Li Yang took the main creator and starring of the crew, as well as Sun Wei, who played the first victim Tang Chaoxia, to the small coal kiln together. There is no shooting task today, just to familiarize yourself with the scene and arrange the experience life of several leading actors at the same time.

As soon as the minibus drove out of the town, it plunged headlong into the mountains. There was snow in the mountains, and everywhere was white. There are a lot of small coal kilns here, where the mountains are opened, some black things are dug up, and piled up in the snow, where is a small coal kiln.

Some coal tractors are panting and crawling on mountain roads. The road conditions are not good, and the tractor is staggering, as if it will overturn at any moment. But none of them overturned, just scattered some crushed coal, and went away.

There are almost no people in sight in the mountains, and there are no trees. All you can see is a triangular derrick made of wood, and a chimney sticking out of the low roof. Fortunately, each chimney is slowly smoking, conveying some of the popularity of the house.

The minibus drove slowly for about an hour and a half, and when I crossed a hill, I saw that the style of painting changed suddenly, and the terrain in front of me gradually rose, and it looked like it was on flat ground from a distance. A fortress was pulled up in a very incongruous manner.

The appearance of the fortress was rather strange, and it was not until I got closer that I could see the structure, which was a thick earthen wall. Wrap around a narrow area, leaving only a ramp in the middle for people to pass.

If it weren't for the black coal piled up at the mouth of the kiln, I would have thought that I accidentally drove into the pre-liberation bandit den played in the movie. There are two rows of bungalows on one side of the kiln, and the roofs of the two rooms in one row have collapsed, leaving only the ruins and broken walls.

But what struck them was that the hollow beneath the mouth of the kiln was full of uneven mounds, hollowed out in the middle, and small doors were open, supported by thick, broken wooden stakes.

Suddenly, there was a sound of "bell, bell, bell...... pounding on the iron, followed by one person, two people, three people...... Bending over, bending his legs, like a foraging mouse, he came out of the door at all positions and angles, and automatically converged on the path on the side of the depression and winded up, lined up, searched his body, and then took turns to go down to the kiln.

Under the guidance of Li Yang, the minibus stopped in front of a row of bungalows that looked relatively intact in front of it.

Several people came out of the bungalow, and the leader was dressed in black, with a black leather jacket on his upper body, black leather trousers on his lower body, and a pair of black leather boots on his feet. He also had a long amber cigarette holder in his mouth, and a lit cigarette was attached to it.

Wang Dalun, who was following Li Yang, muttered to himself in his heart: It seems to be a kind of dung-eating beetle, and it is so gorgeous all over his body.

"Mine Chief Yao, hello, hello!" Li Yang greeted him very politely, and stretched out his hands from afar.

"Oh, Director Li! You're here. I heard a while ago that you were filming in the county, and after such a long time, I thought you wouldn't come. Mine Chief Yao shook hands with Li Yang warmly, and at the same time swept around the people who got out of the car, except for a thin and tall man who looked a little familiar, the others seemed to be quite ordinary.

However, his attention was quickly attracted by the eye-catching "CCTV movie channel "Hometown" film crew" sign behind the front windshield.

The mine owners in such small places seem to be rich, but in fact, they are all turtles in their bones, and they are really shocked by the name of the tall "CCTV".

Li Yang looked at it quietly, what he wanted was this effect, and he hurriedly took out the genuine shooting permit from the bag he was carrying and said, "This is our shooting permit, you can take a look." ”

Mine Chief Yao glanced at it quickly, and then pretended to be generous: "You were introduced by Lao Wang, so you can't believe it." ”

Xu is the friend of Li Yang, who is called Lao Wang, in the mouth of the mine chief Yao, is relatively big, Xu is the turtle mine manager was shocked by the CCTV in front of the crew's name, and maybe it is the role of 1,000 yuan a day for lost work, or there is Wang Dalun, a "famous actor", in the crew.

In short, Mine Manager Yao was very enthusiastic, and not only promised to cooperate with the shooting both underground and above. And when he learned that several of the main actors of the crew were going to experience life in the mine, he didn't say a word, and specially vacated two rooms in the back row of bungalows for them to live in.

Only then did Wang Dalun know that the reason why Li Yang asked for this shooting permit was to pull the banner of tiger skin.

When Li Yang and Mine Manager Yao were drinking tea to "catch up", the crew members who had never been to the small coal kiln, as well as Wang Dalun, Wang Baoqiang and others, went around the mine under the leadership of Mine Manager Yao.

First of all, the elevator at the mouth of the kiln immediately frightened them. Generally speaking, there are about three types of mines: vertical shafts, inclined shafts, and flat shafts.

The vertical shaft is perpendicular to the ground, the inclined shaft is slightly inclined at an angle, and the flat shaft is horizontal to the ground. And the mine of this small coal kiln is the most terrifying-looking vertical shaft of its kind.

It's a bit like a rocking drinking well in the countryside, with a small hole and a few thick wooden derricks tied to it. Under the rope, there is a lift-like platform hanging from the scientific name of the tank cage.

According to safety standards, the tank cage should be in the shape of an elevator, surrounded by a sturdy iron mesh to prevent impact or falling. Of course, this is gone, just a few wooden planks to build a platform, suspended on all sides, unobstructed.

"This ...... Will this work? Will it fall?" Wang Baoqiang asked with a stammering look at this terrifying thing.

The attendant glanced at him with disdain and said, "Why not!"

As he spoke, he personally demonstrated and stood up, grabbed the iron frame welded in the middle with both hands, and said, "Pull here with your hands." Then he jumped on the wooden plank underneath and said with a smile: "It's sturdy, even a few hundred pounds of mules can't go down, let alone people." ”

“……”

There is also the nest of the dry base where the miners live in the hollow under the mouth of the kiln. That's right, it's the kind of nest that is often seen on TV that praises how the first generation of oil workers in New China worked hard to build New China.

Most of the members of the crew have traveled from south to north, and they can be regarded as well-informed, but the vast majority of them have seen this kind of legendary "dry base nest" for the first time, and they don't understand why there is still such a nest after more than 50 years of establishment for Mao New China? Could it be that the mine owner is wolf-hearted and dog-lunged, squeezing these poor miners like Zhou Peeling?

Originally, Yao Mine Manager deliberately vacated two rooms for them to live in, Wang Dalun was still a little unhappy, in his opinion, since it was to experience life, he should eat and live with the miners. Even if it's just a nest in the ground, what can he do if he lives for a few days? In the most difficult time of his last life, he even slept in a bridge hole.

It was with this mentality that he wanted to go into the nest to see the real life of the miners. But of course, when he hunched his waist and entered the small door, the oncoming smell that could not even be described in words made him fall backwards, and if it weren't for Wang Baoqiang following behind, he would almost fall out.

Even Wang Baoqiang, a stupid boy, went in and quickly covered his mouth and came out.

"It stinks, is this still a place where people live?"

"Everyone is begging for food, and it's good to have a place to shelter from the wind and snow. An old man who stayed behind took Wang Baoqiang's words and said.

The old man's words made the stupid boy completely silent, maybe at this time he was thinking: yes, I don't know what my surname is when I live in a hotel for a few days, you must know that before filming, he was just a small worker on the construction site, and the money he earned was only enough to make ends meet.

Wang Dalun chatted with the old man for a few words, mainly to ask about the living conditions of some miners. In fact, although this kind of underground nest is not ventilated, the smell is a little unpleasant, but it is still very warm to live in, and the most important thing here is coal, which is very convenient for heating by fire.

In addition, although there are people in the mine who cook, each person has to pay ten yuan a day for food, and most miners are reluctant, they would rather cook by themselves in the nest. They also had a special way of putting their food, putting rice and flour in bags or baskets and hanging them on the top of the nests in the ground, so that the rats would not be harmed.

Therefore, after visiting the Diwozi here, Wang Dalun never proposed to Li Yang the idea of eating and living with the miners to experience life.

Compared with Diwozi, the two rooms arranged for them by Mine Chief Yao are in too good condition. Although the house is a bit old, there is a large ondol in each room. Mine Chief Yao also specially asked people to clean the room, and the kang also lit a fire, and the pioneer drove away the moisture, so that he could live properly at night.

The row of bungalows they lived in was originally six rooms, and the roofs of the easternmost two rooms collapsed, which is said to have been crushed by the heavy snow last year.

There are also two rooms next to it, one of which is a bathroom. Miners come up from the mine with dark faces, often no one can tell the difference, and a hot bath is a must. The house is built with bricks, no tiles, but all around it with cement powder.

The other is the kitchen, and the cook is a distant relative of Boss Yao, who heard him say that he has no salary for cooking here, and that he earns some living expenses from the food expenses of the miners at ten yuan per person per day, but because there are few people to eat, he does not earn much.

This time, the crew came here to film, and there were twenty or thirty people to eat at noon alone, and Li Yang was generous, raising the standard of each person to eight yuan per meal, and Boss Yao's relatives were happy to help them clean up their rooms, fetch water and coal.

In the evening, Mine Chief Yao hosted a banquet to entertain them. During the banquet, Wang Dalun heard that the miners working here could get 2,000 yuan a month, and he couldn't help but be a little impressed by the mine owner who was covered in the skins of other animals. You must know that this year, two thousand yuan a month is about to catch up with the small white-collar workers in the city.

It wasn't until after dinner, when he returned to his place where he lived, that Li Yang told them that although the miners working here could get 2,000 yuan a month, like countless private coal mines across the country, there were no safety standards and protection, and they would pay 30,000 yuan for each death!

And Li Yang also said that the conditions here are good, and the blackest coal kiln he has ever seen is only a hole half a meter high, and he can't turn around. Carrying pickaxes and earthen baskets, the workers climbed in on their knees, and then climbed out backwards. A basket of coal costs two hundred dollars, but when it dies, it dies.

Early the next morning, the crew who lived in the town had not yet arrived, and after breakfast, Wang Dalun and Wang Baoqiang walked around outside without having anything to do, and happened to meet the miners who had worked all night. Generally, in the peak season, each coal mine will work overtime for 24 hours. Besides, once a person is in the well, he can't tell the difference between day and night.

The old man I met yesterday in the nest was also among the miners who ascended the shaft. When the two met him, he was washing his hands and preparing for breakfast.

Perhaps out of professional habits, the miners are very water-saving, washing their hands only with their hands, and the backs of their hands are still black. Maybe it was the next night, the old man heard from others that they were going to go down the well when they came here to film, so he told them lightly: "I don't want you to go down the well, it's too dangerous! Our lives are not as expensive as yours!"
