Chapter Ninety-One: Dongmo Village
'On December 1, 2004, the weather was gloomy with heavy fog in the morning. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Am I pretending to be a child and getting lost in it? I'm 20 years old soon, but I'm actually 51, damn it! Quite dissatisfied with the performance that night, will it be despised by people? Too much likeness, or arrogance? Opinionated? Xu Canhao couldn't write anymore, a series of self-questions pointed directly to his heart, and he was irritable, and poked angrily in the diary with a pen. After being stunned for a long time, he started to write again: 'Perhaps, you are too yourself... There is no such thing as a perfect person, and I don't need to be a perfect person, that would be unapproachable. Perhaps, at that time, before you know it, you will lose a lot without knowing it. 'Keeping a diary in Chinese is a means for him to remind himself not to forget the past, just as he paints portraits of his mother and sister in his memory, only for memory, and can no longer raise sorrow.
"Despicable Streets" is scheduled to start on December 28, and this scene does not need to do too much preliminary preparation like Tai Chi Qi (setting up set scenes, restoring old street scenes, building battlefields, etc.), and he doesn't need to ask about the casting of other actors. What he has to do now is to slim down again, make his face more angular, keep his beard, and work hard to get fit. These are all requests from the strange man with a strange face, a strange hairstyle, and a very strange personality, but he is very famous in the industry (in the film industry), an eccentric artist who always pays attention to the marginalized people, a strange man with a unique shooting technique and charm, who likes to show the distorted side of human nature. He is the film that made Jae-hee win the Newcomer Award, the director of "Empty House", Kim Ki-duk. At last night's banquet, he was introduced to him by Jiang Dikui. The other party has read the script and expressed great interest, and Kang Dikyu also strongly agrees that Kim Ki-duk will direct this movie that is very suitable for him, and suggests that Chan Ho agree to let Director Kim participate in the screenwriting. Afterwards, Xu Canhao was also rejoicing in his choice, because from this director who can only speak with pictures, he not only learned a lot of emotional expression skills (facial expression details and movements) when acting, but also learned from this life practice director who has not received any professional learning and focuses on the portrayal of human nature and the aesthetics of violence, how to use metaphors and explore human nature in the script. After the filming of a movie, the two also became New Year's friends, because their biggest common denominator is that they are so kind that they are compassionate. At the same time, this film has also been modified to be different from the original history, it is mixed with more metaphors for the dark politics and cruel society of the world, as well as tragic plots that reflect human nature and nation, which makes people think deeply, but the more they are reminiscent, the more sad they are, the more sad they are.
There is nothing big in the near future, Xu Canhao decided to take a look at the eraser that is about to finish, and then go to explore the class of Dongmo Village, after all, even if he has no screenwriter name, he still has the identity of an investor. temporarily shelved the adaptation of the baseball hero's script, and after listening to the recent situation of Che Shulan taking charge of e-life, he asked Lee Dong Wook to drive him to Chuncheon. On the Chuncheon Expressway, the ghost foolishly hung up the phone to Director Lee Jae-han's assistant Yang Moo-shen, and the other party actually told him that they had already finished the exterior and started editing, only a few indoor scenes to be re-filmed, and the crew was in Nanyangzhou. "This Son Ye-jin, is it a child? It's a joke all the time. Xu Canhao shook his head with a wry smile, and then said to Li Dongxu: "Turn around and go to the airport." ”
At 2:15 p.m., Seo Chan-ho flew to Wonju Airport with Lee Dong-wook and a temporarily hired security guard who was born in Gangneung. Arrived at the airport at 16 o'clock, got in the car arranged by the crew, and went to Pyeongchang County. At 8 o'clock in the evening, we arrived at the location of the crew, Changchuan Valley, Guxi Village at the foot of Kaliwang Mountain.
After getting off the highway, all the signals became unstable, and Xu Canhao stopped the phone and computer (checking the financial reports of the two crews) to concentrate on making up for sleep. It didn't take long for me to feel like I was asleep, and the car started to jolt and drove onto the country road. Near the entrance of the village, an explosion was heard from the mountain, faintly mixed with a few gunshots. After getting out of the car, an assistant immediately brought thick down jackets to several people, and I heard that the temperature in the mountains can reach minus 17 degrees at night. This small mountain village can no longer see the simple and silent appearance of the past, and high-power searchlights have been erected everywhere, from the intersection to the village Guangping, all kinds of vehicles of different sizes. Everyone was busy, and some extras in costumes, who had nothing to do, gathered in the roadside fields to light fires and keep warm. In the crew filming war scenes, if you want to ask who is the best, then you have to tell you that in addition to the director and producer, it belongs to the demolition team. Tonight is no exception, the person who shouts with a megaphone is definitely the boss of the demolition team, and anyone has to listen to his arrangement at this time, and sometimes even the director has to take their opinions into account.
"President Xu, shall we go up now, or should we rest first today?" The familiar field assistant ran to Xu Canhao's side and asked.
"Show me where you live." Xu Canhao glanced at Kaliwang Mountain, where there were fires flashing from time to time, and walked towards the village first.
"Most of the houses in this village were rented to our crew, and some people in the village went to the homes of relatives and friends in neighboring villages, leaving only some villagers who took care of the elderly. Please this way. The assistant nodded, explaining to Xu Canhao while showing him the room where the items and equipment were stored. We all slept in the yard (tent) or in the threshing floor. We also invite villagers to cook hot food, drinks and coffee for us for three meals a day, and we will arrange people to purchase them regularly. Coming out of the courtyard, a group of four people went to the ancestral hall of the village again, and it stands to reason that Xu Canhao has to go to worship, after all, he came to someone's land.
"Thank you." Xu Canhao took the hot coffee handed to everyone by the assistant and continued to ask: "Aren't your tents surrounded by fires afraid of hidden dangers?" ”
"Hehe, we're renting a military tent this time, and a little bit of spark on it is out of the way. Besides, there are people on duty at night in the convoy and here, even in the mountains, so don't worry. The assistant explained the situation with a smile, and from time to time took the local products roasted by the group performance and the villagers and distributed them to Canhao and his party.
"What time did the director shoot?" Xu Canhao knew that he was filming the scene of jerking off in the snow for the past few days, and he shivered at the thought of several actors rolling in the snow, shouting at the empty night sky, shooting empty guns, and setting off empty cannons, and wanted to laugh very much.
"It's coming down soon, and the closer it is to the early hours of the morning, the colder it gets up there, and it's impossible to continue shooting. In addition, some equipment has to be carried down to prevent frost damage. After the assistant led the worship in the ancestral hall, he had to arrange a room for Chan Ho.
"The room was gone, as was sleeping in a tent. Save the empty room for equipment, or give it to the actors, after filming in the snow for so long, it must have frozen. Xu Canhao smiled and waved his hand, turning back to the barn again.
The assistant left, leaving Xu Canhao and the three of them to sit around the fire. "Dongxu, wait for the two of you to go and bring down the pork belly bought in the car, hand it over to the aunt, and add dinner to the crew and actors in the evening." Xu Canhao bought a box of pork belly for 50 people in Yuanju in one go, which was actually enough for 100 people.
"Nae, I see." The two of them each answered and went to unload the cargo. It was already more than 10 o'clock in the evening, and the crew had to go down the mountain before 11 o'clock, so they must have been halfway by now.
"Hello, can I sit here?" Just as Xu Canhao was bored and rummaging the firewood, a glutinous female voice came from beside him. He first stretched out his hand to invite someone to sit down, and then he saw the appearance of the person who came. She has round eyes that are clearer than Yun'er, and her smile is very conspicuous, but it does not affect her beauty. A messy broken hair, instead of adding to the mess, makes the hostess look pure and lovely. That kind of unconscious sweet smile, coupled with a pure and sweet childlike face, can really intoxicate people's hearts.
"Jiang Huizhenxi, isn't there no role in your role this year, why haven't you gone back to vacation yet?" Xu Canhao looked at the people for a while before asking.
"Ah~ you are! Hello. Jiang Huizhen saw Xu Canhao with a hat clearly by the firelight, and immediately got up and saluted.
"No, it doesn't have to be. It stands to reason that you are still my senior. Xu Canhao also quickly got up, explained, and stretched out his hand to let her sit down.
The two finally sat down together, and the atmosphere was a little awkward. Looking at the splashing sparks, silent.
"That..."x2.
"You first..."x2.
"Hehe..."x2. The silence was broken by the constant exchange of words between the two, and they looked at each other and smiled.
"Call me Chan Ho, age can't be changed. I have a lot of identities, and it's really hard for ordinary people to call me what to call me. In order not to make people feel that he was selling himself and boasting, Xu Canhao pretended to be stupid and smiled, scratching the back of his head. Sure enough, Kang Hye-jung was amused by him again.
"Well, hello, Chan-ho, it's really nice to meet you. I don't know if I've bought your album, is it a fan? Jiang Huizhen tilted her head slightly, looked at Xu Canhao with a smile and asked.
The other party's silly girl-like innocent and cute appearance made Xu Canhao quite fond of it. "Of course, it's my honor to have fans like my predecessors~"
"Na, na, huh~ Let me call you Chanhao, but you call me senior, really." Jiang Huizhen smiled and glanced at Chanhao, and the expression that seemed to be disgusted and happy made Xu Canhao fascinated again. "Please call me, Megumi Xi, or... Megumi Nuna? In the crew, only Dehuan is younger than me, and he always refuses to call other people's sisters. The aggrieved look of the puffed mouth, the flickering bright eyes, simply turned Xu Canhao cute.
quickly woke up, Xu Canhao felt that he was being molested, and he usually had to tease his little sister by himself, but today he unconsciously fell into the trap. "There is pork belly at night, I don't know if Hui Zhenxi likes it?" Xu Canhao avoided the important and light, and also laid a food temptation trap.
"Sure enough, our big boss is here, otherwise who can be so generous to invite everyone to eat the famous Baijishan black pig, 50 boxes at a time, a full two million!" Jiang Dikui walked behind Xu Canhao at some point, put his hands heavily on his shoulders, and his tone was purely a seasoning joke.
"It's not that you work hard, are you too expensive to eat?" Xu Canhao slowly got up and said this. I was really startled when I turned around, and there was a group of people standing behind me, and a few "hanging colors".
"The kid must have done a job, so I don't need to introduce him." After Jiang Dikui finished speaking, he went into the house to change clothes.
"Hello everyone..."Xu Canhao nodded with a smile, and was about to introduce himself when he was interrupted. Although it is very impolite, the other party is a senior, and the elder is a different matter.
"We all know, how can we not know the famous national stars, haha~ Dehuan's kid often complains, why doesn't my idol come, why doesn't my idol write a screenplay? Haha..."The honest and famous comedian, Uncle Lin Delong came out of the crowd and patted Xu Canhao's arm and laughed.
"Ah~ Uncle, how can I be as greasy as you say?!" Liu Dehuan, a shy and sunny boy, was dissatisfied with Uncle Lin's ridicule, and stood behind Zheng Zaiyong to complain.
"Hehe, hello, Shen Hajun." This gentle man, who laughed with the same silly atmosphere as Cha Tae-hyun, was not as shy as he was during the interview, and generously stretched out his hand to greet Xu Canhao.
"When we are filming, Director Jiang will also mention you. Talking about how funny you are, how hard you film, how smart you are, etc., makes us envious and burdensome. Hehe~" Zheng Jae-yong, Xu Canhao has seen many of his movies, but almost all of them are his action scenes. In fact, he is more suitable to play the role of a simple and warm man, or an uncle next door, just like his performance in "Ball Love Coffee House", which is impressive.
"Hello, senior." Xu Canhao smiled and shook his hand, in fact, they had met once last time at the Blue Dragon Festival banquet, but they had only talked for a short time.
"Hello." Yoo Deok-hwan, who felt like Zheng Jae-yong, bowed to Seo Chan-ho and said hello.
"How can you do such a big gift... Hello. Xu Canhao couldn't, so he could only return the gift almost ninety degrees. Otherwise, you may be accused of being rude to your predecessors, after all, you are also an actor, even if you are here as an investor now.
"Dehuan, don't make it difficult for people, just plain." Uncle Lin Delong made a warning. "Hehe, uncle can call you Canhao, Director Jiang said that you are very easy to contact." The uncle's eyebrows and eyes disappeared when he laughed, and his whole face was like an old chrysanthemum.
"It's okay, senior, just call me Chanhao." Xu Canhao smiled and put his backhand on the uncle's shoulder, and the two stood together with their shoulders and smirked.
"Hehe, good boy. Actually, Dehuan likes you very much, and he also likes to sing, but he is too shy, and sometimes we can only listen to him sing when he takes a bath. The uncle explained to Dehuan very seriously, which made Xu Canhao uncomfortable.
"Ah, where is that kid Xu Zaijing?" Jiang Dikui changed his clothes and shouted while standing under the porch.
"Brother Jing and David went to help barbecue." Liu Dehuan raised his hand and replied.
“mo!? Ah, why didn't you say it earlier, why didn't they go to barbecue! Eh, Xi ~ stinky boy who is not angry!" Uncle Lin's face changed amazingly, and he rushed into the room to change his clothes. Zheng Jae-yong and Shin Ha-jun, two warm water men, were also eye-opening, and they took off their shoes directly and stepped into the room on the ground with socks on.
Liu Dehuan was a little better, he knew that he ran after saluting Xu Canhao and Jiang Dikui, and shouted: "Hyong, wait for me, don't close the door!" ”
"What's the matter, these people are not bad~ haha!" Jiang Dikui smiled freely, changed into clean clothes, and walked to Xu Canhao's side. "Let's go, go to the barbecue, it's too late, but it will be divided up by the group of people below."
"Wait, let's call Hye-jeong xi~" Xu Canhao stood still, turned around and pointed behind him, the room where Jiang Hye-jeong had entered earlier.
Jiang Dikui's face was strange, as if he was holding back a smile. "I advise you not to go, I guess she has already gone to the barnyard. The girl now ran faster than a wolf when she heard meat. ”
Xu Canhao opened his mouth slightly, with an incredible expression, and said, "Are the crew all gods of food?" Still no meat to eat? ”
"Eh, you're right, we only get pork twice a month, and beef hasn't been touched in a long time. Everyone knows that this place is remote, and they are quite economical, and they are good people~" Jiang Dikui had not only relief on his face, but also indescribable pride. Xu Canhao felt more and more cute about these people, and at the same time, he admired them.
