PS: Look at the exclusive story behind "Literary Era", listen to more of your suggestions for the novel, pay attention to the starting point Chinese network public account (WeChat add friends - add public account - enter ddxiaoshuo can be), quietly tell me!

In order to shoot "Blind Well", Chu Qing grew a beard a month and a half in advance, the kind of one with two upper lips and a circle of stubble around his cheeks, looking a few years older in an instant.

Ten days in advance, he began not to shower and not wash his hair.

A week in advance, he changed his smoking gesture again, and he had to clamp it close to the butt of the cigarette, because he was reluctant to waste half of it.

Then, on November 1, when he flew to Jin Province to join the crew, no one, including Li Yang, recognized him.

"Brother Bao!"

In Tai*Yuan's hotel, Chu Qing saw the main creator, and he first shook hands with Wang Shuangbao, who played Tang Chaoyang. This is an old actor, he used to be a martial artist of Peking Opera, he has filmed a lot of scenes, and he also played a small role in "Balzac and the Little Tailor".

"Qingzi, I took this drama because of you."

"Ouch, you're so polite!"

Wang Shuangbao has been walking in the rivers and lakes for many years, and his words are very transparent, even if they meet for the first time, they don't feel unfamiliar.

The two chatted for a while, and a young girl came over there and took the initiative to greet him: "Brother Qing, my name is quiet, I don't have much experience, and I ask you for more advice." ”

Chu Qing took a look, the girl looked very white, but the pink was a little thick, I didn't know where Li Yang found the newcomer, so he smiled and said: "It's easy to say, everyone helps each other." ”

In this crew, he is the emperor superstar, and everyone takes turns talking, chatting, and making friends, just to make a good impression.

And he took care of it and recognized several members: producer Hu Xiaoye. Assistant director Bao Zhenjiang, cinematographer Liu Yonghong, and recording Wang Yu are all guys with considerable qualifications, and they form the core of the team.

As for Wang Baoqiang, when he saw his eldest brother again, he was as excited as a monkey, jumping up and down, and he had to compare with him, so that Chu Qing slapped the corner of the wall. He said, "Show me the script!" ”

The bear child didn't dare to make a mistake, and quietly rolled back to the room.

The crew stayed in Tai*Yuan for one night, and then went to the filming location the next day. I don't know how many connections Li Yang made and how much energy he spent before he found a private coal kiln that was willing to provide filming.

Everyone drove in a van on a crooked dirt road, flanked by vast expanses of yellow-green wilderness, spread out like rags and folds.

I walked for more than two hours, and I was almost turned upside down and vomited. I saw that the style of painting changed suddenly, and the terrain in front of me gradually increased, and from a distance, it seemed to be on flat ground. 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.

The car continued in, only to feel that the sky was getting darker. It seems to have fallen a little lower.

Everyone looked around, and there were mound of uneven height, hollowed out in the middle, with small doors open and supported by large, broken wooden stakes. Immediately after that, one person, two people, three people...... Bent over, bent legs, like a foraging mouse, he came out of the doors in all positions and angles, gathered on the half-sloped flat ground on both sides, and squatted there, looking at them with a blank face.

The dirt paths are crisscrossed, the weeds are overgrown, and the black-gray coal haze is so thick that it is visible to the naked eye, it is like a ruined world, full of barbarism, wanton and irregularity.

Then, one of the miners slowly stepped forward.

"Stop!"

Li Yang shouted, pushed the door and got out of the car.

Chu Qing and Wang Shuangbao glanced at each other and quickly followed, Wang Baoqiang was ignorant, but when he saw that the eldest brother went down, he also got up in a hurry.

"Mine Chief Liang, hello, hello, I'm Li Yang." He looked humble and bowed down to shake hands.

"Hmm."

The other party didn't raise his eyelids, and responded without being salty.

He turned his head again and said, "These three are my leading actors, and they are ...... by you."

"Alright, alright!"

Mine Chief Liang interrupted impatiently and said, "I'm just trying to save the face of Lao Wang, don't talk nonsense with me!" If you want to shoot here, yes, I have two conditions. ”

"You say."

"First, give me a thousand dollars a day; Second, you sign a life and death certificate, it has nothing to do with me if something happens, don't lie to people when the time comes! ”

“……”

Li Yang was completely stunned, because he had taken care of his friend before, thinking that he would be able to shoot it as soon as he arrived, who would have thought that the mine owner would temporarily increase the size.

A thousand yuan is not a matter, after all, it occupies other people's places, but the life and death situation in the back ......

He didn't have the right to make decisions for others, so he had to say, "Mine Chief Liang, I'll go and discuss with them, and I'll give you an answer later." ”

"Hurry up!"

The other party didn't bother to say more, scratched the fat back of his neck, and turned around to flash people.

When he returned to the car, Li Yang told the story, and everyone was silent. These people agreed to join on impulse at the beginning, but now, when it came to the real thing, they realized what they were doing, and they immediately hesitated.

"That, I think it's a bit funny, it's not ancient, and what kind of life and death certificate is signed, I always feel a little funny."

For a long time, producer Hu Xiaoye took the lead in speaking, half-jokingly mentioning the construction of yì. He was specially recruited by Li Yang, who has rich experience and a small reputation in the industry.

"Yes, there must be other families willing to provide venues, there is no need to hang yourself from a tree."

His voice fell, and there was immediate support.

Li Yang pursed his lips tightly, shook his head lightly and said, "No, I have found most of the mountains * west, just this one mine." ”

“……”

There was another strange silence in the car, some looked down, some looked out the window, and some made eye contact with the director and quickly moved away.

Outside, there was the whining of coal mules and all kinds of noise and noise, all the time reminding them of what this place was.

"I'll sign it!"

Suddenly, the sound of people sounded, and everyone turned their heads one after another, seeing Wang Baoqiang raising his hand stupidly.

Li Yang was very surprised, and hurriedly said: "Baoqiang, you can think about it." ”

"Why don't you just sign it! Director, since you can find me to be the starring role, I have to shoot this scene well! The kid grinned.

Chu Qing also looked at the goods, his eyes flashed, to be honest, he was really entangled just now. It's not that you're holding back. It's thinking, if something happens to me and he dies on the spot, if he doesn't die, hemiplegia, amputation, vegetative state, what should I do, what should I do, what should my daughter-in-law do?

When he agreed, he was full of enthusiasm. But the reality is too tangled to be considered. And at this moment, seeing the stupid boy raising his hand straight, it was like a string had broken off violently in his heart...... Forget it, no matter.

"I'll sign it too!"

Chu Qing followed and raised his hand.

"And me!"

The third is Wang Shuangbao.

"Me!"

The fourth is Bao Zhenjiang.

Then there are Liu Yonghong, Wang Yu, and Sun Wei, who died at the beginning of only two scenes......

"Uh, I, I'll sign it too!"

Finally, Hu Xiaoye. Pouting, he reluctantly raised his hand.

…………

If it weren't for filming, Chu Qing would never have had the opportunity to see the mine in his life, let alone the real underground operation.

This is just one of the countless private coal mines in the country. Without any safety standards and protection, the miners who work here, who get two thousand dollars a month, die. It's 30,000.

The conditions are good, according to Li Yang, the blackest coal kiln he has ever seen. A hole only half a meter high, you 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.

Due to the special environment, it is impossible for the actors to adapt immediately, so the first few days were test shooting, mainly to experience it.

Li Yang is also very cautious, busy popularizing safety knowledge to them, such as wearing safety helmets and miner's lamps, strictly prohibiting fireworks and mobile phones, because there is a large amount of gas in the mine, which will explode at one point, and so on.

said that Chu Qing and Wang Shuangbao, even Wang Baoqiang's stupid boy frowned and remembered, after all, it was a matter of life.

On the afternoon of the 2nd, it was cloudy.

Chu Qing was standing on the mound and was calling Fan Xiaoye. He wore a light brown patched coat with a red sweater that had been washed off, and his face was dirty.

This is all borrowed from fellow villagers, and the dress is a little small, which feels very funny.

Fan Xiaoye was in Yun * Nanban Shun lì, won unanimous praise in the group, and got to show off with her husband. He listened attentively and didn't say a word.

He didn't tell his daughter-in-law, and he was going to go down the well later.

The two of them were tired for a long time, and then they wanted to stop, but then they started playing the egg-sore game of "you hang first, you hang first".

In the end, the girl couldn't resist the numbness, and said: "Okay, I won't grind with you, I'll hang up!" ”

"Hmmm......"

Chu Qinggang answered, and suddenly felt very reluctant, and hurriedly called: "Baby? ”

"Doot toot!"

But it has hung up over there.

He put down the phone, pursed his lips, and was about to be sad, when he heard a strange dialect from behind him: "Hey, big brother! ”

Chu Qing was startled, quickly turned around, and saw Wang Bao's robber poking behind him, and said in sweat: "When did you come up?" ”

"Big brother, how do you know my nickname?" The thing didn't answer, but asked rhetorically.

"What nickname?" He was stunned.

"Baby, my nickname is Baby."

“……”

When he raised his foot, he kicked it and said angrily: "Get out!" ”

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. Chu Qing and the one they want to go down is Lijing.

It's a bit like an ancient rocking drinking well, with a small entrance and rusty iron shelves tied to it, and a few cables 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.

Chu Qing, Wang Shuangbao, Li Yang, and the photographer stood up first, the place was very small, and they were still carrying the machine, and they had to be tightly piled up.

"Buzz!"

With a sound, the cable activates and the cage slowly descends.

Chu Qing felt that his body was sinking little by little, and when he was completely submerged in the well, it was like the sun hitting the ground, and it was instantly dark in front of him, obviously Li Yang was standing opposite, but he couldn't see his face.

Several people were a little nervous, only listening to the gentle breathing and the mechanical sound of "clang".

It seems that after a long time, the cable is still moving, and it is still not to the end, Chu Qing couldn't help it, and asked, "How deep is this?" ”

"Three or four hundred meters." Li Yang said.

"Three or four hundred meters?" He immediately raised his voice.

"This is shallow, the big mines are six or seven hundred meters, or even thousands of meters." Li Yang said with a smile.

“……”

Chu Qing stopped squeaking, looking up at the wellhead, the space was claustrophobic and dark, and the wellhead was getting farther and farther away, smaller and smaller, but it seemed to be the only light.
