Chapter 352: Zhang Yimou and Fang Liping's Past
At Yiwushan City Airport, Jian'an Mayor Fang Liping took Qiu Danping and others from the Jian'an City Propaganda Department to drive three cars and hurried over.
"Mayor Fang! This time, really thanks to you. We were able to invite an international director like Director Zhang! I believe that with Director Zhang's joining, this time our Jian'an City's "Beautiful Zhicheng" tourism impression will definitely add a lot of color. According to statistics, the number of tourists in Yiwushan City has more than tripled this year, and the tourism income has increased by more than 200 percent......
In the car, Qiu Danping, director of the Propaganda Department of Jian'an City, couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart.
Zhang Yimou, that is an internationally famous director, and he directed the 08 Olympic Games. Now, this world-class director is coming to Jian'an City to personally guide the filming of "Beautiful Zhicheng". How can this not make Qiu Danping, who is in charge of Jian'an City's propaganda work, excited?
You must know that Qiu Danping inquired privately, and when filming "Impression of the Red Robe" in Yiwushan City last year, Zhang Yimou was hired to guide him with a lot of money, but it was no less than seven figures. And now, Zhang Yimou came forward to see the old friendship with Mayor Fang Liping, that is, he charged a little money for carriages and horses, which is basically equivalent to the surname of voluntary help.
"That...... Director Qiu, when I arrived at the airport in a while, Director Zhang brought about five or six deputies, as well as two boxes of shooting equipment, you can arrange it, Director Zhang and I will take a car, and the other people and equipment will go with the two cars behind. This time, Director Zhang came to our Jian'an City, and he also took time out of his busy schedule. So be it! The shooting time starts tomorrow, Director Zhang said that there are only two or three days, you can arrange it quickly in the evening, and go to the Guizongyan Scenic Area early tomorrow morning......"
When she was still in the car, Fang Liping began to decorate. This time, the filming of "Beautiful Zhicheng" can be said to be her last major event as the mayor of Jian'an City. After so many years in Jian'an City, Fang Liping also has feelings for the water and soil here. I really hope that such a mountain city surrounded by green water can go out of Fujian Province and enter the eyes of the people of the whole country and the world.
"Tomorrow? Mayor Fang...... Will you go to Guizong Rock Scenic Area tomorrow? But...... The weather forecast says that there seems to be heavy rain tonight, and most places in the Guizong Rock Scenic Area are steep mountain roads, so if you go tomorrow, will it be dangerous...... Or...... Wait two days? ”
Qiu Danping has been paying attention to the weather in Jian'an City for the past few days, knowing that Jian'an City will be exposed tonight, and said worriedly.
"And what about tomorrow during the day? In this kind of weather, the general rainstorm in Jian'an City is thundershowers, all at night, and it shouldn't rain during the day, right? As long as it doesn't fall during the day, it's OK! Director Zhang's time is very tight, and we only have three days at most. You see, if it doesn't rain during the day tomorrow, you will go to the Guizongyan Scenic Area tomorrow. ”
Fang Liping thought about it and said.
After all, Zhang Yimou, as an international director, is usually very busy. I was finally able to spare a few days to shoot "Beautiful Zhicheng" in Jian'an City, and it was still for Fang Liping's sake, if the time was postponed due to the weather, it would not be a day or two to delay.
"Tomorrow will be a sunny day, then...... Mayor Fang, I'll notify Guizongyan Scenic Area when I go back, and I'll go over to shoot tomorrow? ”
"Okay! That's it, and by the way, I also notified the relevant personnel, the big stars Yun Yiyi, Su Lin and his little cousin, all of them will be notified to gather early tomorrow morning and go over together. ”
Next, there are some detailed matters, and Fang Liping explained them clearly to Qiu Danping, the owner of the Propaganda Department, in the car. This time, to be precise, Qiu Danping is the main person in charge, after all, the propaganda work of Jian'an City has been busy with her for so many years.
When she arrived at the airport, Fang Liping got out of the car and saw Zhang Yimou and others who had been waiting for nearly half an hour, and hurriedly stepped forward and said apologetically: "Director Zhang, forgive me!" We were late, and we didn't expect Director Zhang to be a soldier and a nobleman, so he flew over so quickly, and he didn't notify me in advance. This is to catch me off guard! ”
"Hey, hey! Liping! It's been a long time, didn't I want to surprise you? Why is it called Director Zhang, Director Zhang is so angry. Didn't you always call me Brother Zhang before? But think about it, now your identity is different, and you are the mayor of a city. When I came to Yiwushan City last year, I didn't know that you were in Jian'an City next door, otherwise I would have to visit you and the teacher anyway. ”
As an international director, Zhang Yimou, although he wears sunglasses, he does not play a big name at all, on the contrary, he also talks and laughs with Fang Liping, and it seems that the friendship between the two is not shallow. On the side, Qiu Danping, the owner of the Propaganda Department of Jian'an City, was beating very fast, although he was already mentally prepared, but when he really saw the legendary director Zhang Yimou, he was still a little nervous and excited.
"Come on...... Brother Zhang, let me introduce you. This is Qiu Danping, the owner of our Jian'an City Propaganda Department, this time the filming of "Beautiful Zhicheng", the location will be taken by him. Everything was arranged by Director Qiu. If you have any questions, you can go directly to me or to Director Qiu. ”
After a few words of greeting, Fang Liping got back to business and introduced the person in charge, Qiu Danping, to Zhang Yimou.
"Huh! Director Qiu is a very reliable and honest person at first glance. Then the eating, drinking, and Lazar of our group will be entrusted to Director Qiu. ”
With a humorous tone, as soon as Zhang Yimou opened his mouth, the tension in Qiu Danping's heart was resolved, and he immediately smiled and promised: "I didn't expect Director Zhang to be so humorous, Director Zhang, please rest assured, we will arrange all the accommodation." Just ask Director Zhang to concentrate on shooting, I just discussed with Mayor Fang in the car, because Director Zhang's time is tight, so we decided to start filming in Guizongyan Scenic Area tomorrow morning, now, please get in the car, I will take you to the hotel to eat and rest, and set off tomorrow morning......"
"Then there's Director Lao Qiu."
Zhang Yimou was very friendly, he didn't have any score at all, and arranged for the people he brought to get into the car, and then he and Fang Liping had a car.
In the car, Zhang Yimou took off his sunglasses and said happily to Fang Liping: "Liping! All told, we haven't seen each other for almost six or seven years. I really miss the time when I learned to paint with my teacher! Teacher's health, how are you doing? ”
"Brother Zhang, you're worried, my mother's health is not bad. It was a little mistake not long ago, and the heart attack was committed again. But now it's much better, and I let her recuperate in peace, and it shouldn't be a big deal. ”
Zhang Yimou's words suddenly opened Fang Liping's memories. That was more than 20 years ago, and Zhang Yimou at that time was not the famous director he is today, but just a literary and artistic young man who was obsessed with art. At that time, Zhang Yimou liked oil painting very much, so he came to the house of Fang Liping's mother Tang Huiqin in the capital with great difficulty, and said that he had to worship under Tang Huiqin to learn painting.
Zhang Yimou's stubbornness and determination are also due to his studious quality. Tang Huiqin took Zhang Yimou in his home and studied painting for more than a year.
During this time, Fang Liping has not yet met her husband Qin Zemin, Zhang Yimou and Fang Liping get along like this, Fang Liping has nothing, but Zhang Yimou has feelings for Fang Liping. However, Zhang Yimou was very inferior at that time, and felt that he had no achievements and was not worthy of Liping at all. It wasn't until later that Fang Liping met her husband Qin Zemin that she regretted it.
But at that time, it was already too late, and when Fang Liping and Qin Zemin got married, Zhang Yimou left alone, and since then he has broken into his own art palace and began to study film shooting.
Although the two still had some contact with each other later, there were not many opportunities, and as they got older, Zhang Yimou kept that memory of the past in his heart. Until this time, Fang Liping called him to shoot "Beautiful Zhicheng", and Zhang Yimou agreed without thinking about it. For this reason, he also pushed down two movie scripts, prepared a trip, and went to Jian'an City without notifying Fang Liping in advance.
"That...... Liping, all these years...... You...... How are you doing? Still is...... Still is...... Or is it alone with a daughter? ”
I already knew that Fang Liping's husband had passed away, but Zhang Yimou also had his own family, so he didn't dare to think about Fang Liping. But today's contact seems to feel as if it was more than 20 years ago, time is in a hurry, for many years, can the unbroken feelings be renewed now?
"Me? It's still the same! Busy at work! I didn't think about anything else, but fortunately, my daughter was angry, and this time she was admitted to Qingbei University as the first place in the provincial science department, which is not ...... I also applied for it like an organization, and I was transferred back to the capital to work after a while, so that it was convenient to take care of my daughter. Eh...... In other words, I haven't been back to the capital for many years, I don't know...... Isn't it a big change now? ”
Memories always carry a strong sense of sadness, and they have to force people to taste them carefully. This is the strongest and most hurtful wine, brewing in your mind, usually peaceful, but as long as you touch the scene, it will make people immediately drunk and teary-eyed.
"Yes! After so many years, I said...... It's true...... It's going by so fast! ”
Zhang Yimou couldn't help but sigh with emotion, he was already gray-haired, but the little junior sister Fang Liping in front of him still had charm, but it had changed from the youth of the year to the current charm! (To be continued.) )
