The second phase of Guanyuan Apartment is the real estate that Zhang Tan's family finally chose, which is located in a building near Financial Street in the community. The third floor of the building, with a construction area of 168 square meters, is oriented from north to south, with four bedrooms, two living rooms, one kitchen and two bathrooms. The total height of the floor is only four floors, one ladder and two households, apartment-style management, 24-hour security, and 24-hour hot water.

The large living room is about 30 square meters, and the balcony is open to the south; The master bedroom is 22 square meters, also facing south and has a bathroom; The two small bedrooms are both facing north, one is 14 square meters and the other is 10 square meters; The kitchen is about eight square meters, with a balcony facing north, and the developer has made a model house, and the pot stove and kitchenware are ready.

There is also parking space downstairs.

The sale price is 17,100 yuan per square meter, which is slightly higher than the average price, because the geographical location is better, and the total price is 2.9 million. You can choose to pay a monthly mortgage of 30% down payment, or you can choose to pay a lump sum, which will give a preferential discount. Zhang Tan chose the second option.

Because in two days, the pre-royalties of "The Condor Heroes" will be paid, and they can just make up the full amount of the house payment.

The developer is certainly willing to pay the full amount in one lump sum.

And after learning Zhang Tan's identity, the boss of the developer personally came to meet Zhang Tan, had a meal together, and generously gave Zhang Tan a discount of 85%, and he was exempted from more than 400,000 yuan at once.

"Thank you Boss Chen for taking care of you." Zhang Quanshun, on behalf of Zhang Tan, had a few drinks with the developer's Mr. Chen.

Mr. Chen also smiled back and said: "Tan Zhang is a celebrity in the cultural circle now, he came to our real estate to move in, is to add glory to our real estate, isn't there that idiom." Blooming. ”

It's an exaggeration, but there's always something good about celebrity aura. At least there is a writer living in the community, and this grade is different all of a sudden.

The house was bought. To redecorate, because the developer gave a discount, saving more than 400,000 yuan, just to use it for fine decoration. Although the house is under Zhang Tan's name, after all, if the parents come to Beiya, they also want to live here, so the decoration style is up to the parents.

The completion of the new house made Zhang Tan feel good.

Writing books is full of passion, and "The Four Famous Catchers Against the Cold" is enriched little by little under the pen, and the speed is difficult from the beginning. By now, it is almost up to the time when I wrote "Shooting the Condor" and "The Condor". It must be known that in this "Four Famous Catches Against the Cold", Zhang Tan has created a great structure, which is more difficult than before.

Time flashed and a few days passed.

On this day, Director Yu Min called and asked Zhang Tan to prepare to participate in an audition in the past, and the opinions of Zhang Dabeard on who the actors chose or not were mainly Zhang Dabeard's opinions, but Zhang Tan was the original author after all, and he could provide a great reference.

"Auditioning who?"

"Yang Kang, Faulkang is coming to audition." Yu Min said on the phone, "I'm not very satisfied with him. Aren't you also dissatisfied, let's take a look at the audition first, and if the effect is not good, let's propose to Director Zhang to change the actor together. ”

For Faulkang to play Yang Kang. Yu Min was also dissatisfied, not that Faulcon was not famous enough, or that he was ugly. It's that his style is completely out of line with the role of Yang Kang.

Zhang Tan immediately lifted his spirits: "Okay." I'll go right over. ”

His resentment of Faulcon has been a history of dissatisfaction.

After arriving at the crew, auditions soon began. Zhang Weishen, Yu Min, Zhao Jian, Zhang Tan, and two assistant directors sat in the audition room together.

Soon Faulcon came out of the dressing room.

Seeing Fuerkang's dress, Zhang Tan put aside his prejudices and didn't say anything, he could barely give a passing grade, although he was not as handsome as Li Jixiong, but he was more or less dignified. It's just that once Faulkang performed, a smell of Qiong Yao drama suddenly emerged, not that his acting skills were not good, but that his image and temperament did not match.

Yang Kang should be extravagant in the evil spirit, and he is a young boy, according to the description in the book, he is handsome, dressed in gorgeous clothes, with a face like a crown of jade, and lips like Dan, which can be described as extravagant. But Faulkang gave Zhang Tan the feeling that he was acting in a Qiong Yao drama, whether it was walking or walking, whether it was lines or expressions.

After Faulkang performed for a while, Zhang Tan and Yu Min unconsciously glanced at each other, conveying a tacit look.

Faulkang walked out of the performance and asked casually: "Director Zhang, how are the directors, how is my performance?" ”

Zhang Dabeard clapped his hands and said, "Not bad, very good." ”

Faulkang nodded: "If you can, just talk to my agent about signing the contract, I still have some things to do, and I need to go first." ”

After that, he left with his assistant.

Yu Min hurriedly shouted, "Hey, there's still an audition show later." ”

Faulkang's assistant stepped forward and said: "Isn't the performance very good, our family Faulkang will go to the TV station to record a program later, the time is relatively limited, and the later performances will be canceled first, this performance is enough for reference." ”

In between the assistant's words, Faulcon had already walked out of the audition room.

The rest of the people didn't have much to do with an assistant, and waved her to let her go.

When everyone left, Yu Min got angry and said: "Isn't it just that you have played the protagonist of Qiong Yao's drama, what a big name!" Director Zhang, I have serious objections to Forcon playing Yang Kang, and I don't support it. ”

Zhang Dabeard said calmly: "Although Faulkang's actions just now may be inappropriate, but his acting skills are very good and his fame is enough, is he still a good candidate?" ”

"His acting skills are good, but everything he plays is like acting in Qiong Yao drama, and he can't play the feeling of Yang Kang."

"Yang Kang has something bad to act, I think he fits the image written by Xiao Zhang very well." After Zhang Dabeard finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Tan.

Zhang Tan put his hands in his pants pockets and shook his head very facelessly: "This is not Yang Kang, this is Brother Yang, I didn't write about the Qing Palace drama, I wrote about the Song-Jin Mongolian battle." I respect Director Zhang's opinion on casting, but I can only say that Forkang can't play Yang Kang, and he doesn't have that temperament at all. ”

In terms of management intelligence, Zhang Tan felt that the adaptation rights had been sold to Zhang Dabeard Studio, and the script also adopted his own opinions, and the rest of the content should respect the ideas of the crew.

I also warned myself before not to interfere with the filming of insiders as an outsider. But that's what he likes.

If you don't feel good, you have to say it.

What I pursue in this life is a chic. It's not his style to be secretive and aggrieved.

Zhang asked with a big beard, and he told the truth.

See Zhang Tan also said the same. Zhang has a big beard and a little can't hang his face.

Fortunately, although Zhao Jian was a martial artist, he was exquisite, and when he saw that the atmosphere of the scene was a little stiff, he hurriedly played a round: "I have already filmed the performance of Faulcon's audition just now, let's study the videotape again, analyze the description that fits the novel, and don't be busy making conclusions." ”

Regarding the selection of the role of Yang Kang, Zhang Tan clearly revealed his attitude.

No need for Faulcon.

After that, he didn't continue to participate in the discussion of the crew.

But in the end, Zhang Tan and Yu Min were opposed, and Forkang also played some big names. In the end, it affected Zhang Dabeard's choice, gave up signing with Forkang, and re-elected another newcomer from the mainland, Xiaosheng.

At this point, all the characters of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" have been determined.

……

October 22, 2003, the auspicious day of the zodiac, everything is appropriate. The crew held a start-up ceremony in the first location filming location in Inner Mongolia, and Zhang Tan was also invited to attend the start-up ceremony.

Of course, he joined in the fun. In fact, the most important thing is to come to the desert steppe to stroll, the motherland is a great river, and of course you have to see it everywhere if you have the opportunity. And the Saibei Desert did not disappoint Zhang Tan, the endless grassland scenery. The undulations of the horizon are barely visible.

The whole world suddenly opened up, as if man was a tiny speck of dust between heaven and earth.

Such heaven and earth can cleanse the soul.

Wash away impetuousness. Restore the essence.

The rest of the crew was not as relaxed as Zhang Tan, and participated in the boot ceremony. worshiped God and incense, and accepted a brief interview with reporters. Then began the official shooting. Because it was filmed on the grassland, there were many shots of horseback riding, and the crew had equestrian teaching on the spot.

Zhang Tan stood in the equestrian arena and watched the equestrian teacher guide the actress who played Hua Zheng to ride a horse.

The horse bullied the Huazheng actor was a young girl, so after being ridden by the Huazheng actress, she didn't move, lowered her head and grazed on the spot.

The equestrian teacher reminded her loudly to hold steady, straighten up, and steer the horse.

"You have to give it a signal, use your reins, your legs, tell it that you want to let it go!"

"It's not leaving, teacher." The actress was so nervous that she couldn't straighten up.

The equestrian teacher is another bunch of explanations.

"Teacher Li, do you know that every time I see someone riding a horse, a song will sound in my head." Zhang Tan turned his head and said to the dancer Li Meiping who was standing aside.

Li Meiping has only joined the group for a few days, and she has a lot of concerns about playing a villain Mei Chaofeng, so she learned that Zhang Tan, the author of the novel, was also in the crew, so she often came over to ask for advice and increase her understanding of Mei Chaofeng.

It's no stranger to come and go.

Li Meiping asked curiously: "What song is it?" ”

Zhang Tan hummed quietly: "Let us be the companions of Hongchen, live a dashing and sassy life, ride a horse and gallop, and share the prosperity of the world!" Yes...... Yes...... Yes...... Mr. Li, do you remember the summer rain lotus on the shore of Daming Lake? ”

Li Liping, who is nearly forty-five years old, smiled like a little girl and said: "Hehe, I have heard this song. ”

Between jokes, in the equestrian teaching, the actress gradually relaxed on the horse, and the equestrian teacher led the horse and walked slowly.

The teaching lasted for more than an hour, and the actress was barely able to walk her horse in the end. But the horse is also a bully, the equestrian teacher rides on the back, let it go east and dare not go west, the actress rides on the back, let it go east and it eats grass, let it trot it backwards, like walking a dog, it can't be controlled, and someone else can only pull the horse's reins to pull.

Although with little success, the actress's teaching is coming to an end, and she has to go to filming.

At this time, Zhang Tan walked over and gave the equestrian teacher a bottle of drink, so he successfully learned to ride a horse. As early as when the equestrian teacher was teaching actresses, Zhang Tan had silently observed for a long time and had his own preliminary experience. Put on breeches, riding boots, and walk over to the horse being pulled by the equestrian teacher.

First touch and pat the horse, whisper, make love, and get acquainted with it.

Only when the horse accepts you will listen to you and run.

Then, with the support of the equestrian teacher, he got on the horse, straightened his waist steadily, and leaned back slightly. The prelude work went very smoothly, riding on horseback, Zhang Tan only felt as if he was one or two meters higher than Pingbai, and his vision was much wider than on flat ground.

Handsome patted the neck of the yellow-haired horse, Zhang Tan showed the equestrian theory and technique he had summarized, pulled up the reins, and clamped his legs: "Drive!" ”

It's time to gallop and gallop across the prairie!

……

A few minutes later.

Zhang Tan's anxious voice sounded in the equestrian field: "Hey, teacher, what's going on, how can I call it and not move!" (To be continued.) )
