34 New Civilization and New Crisis
"The yellow-haired one is Wu Xiaoqing." In a place like a racecourse, everyone looks like a human dog, and Wu Xiaoqing's country-style hairstyle is really easy to recognize.
"It's him."
"Didn't you say that he was from the countryside, did he still have horses at home?"
"Director Chen laughed," Lin Chen said, "We are not from the north here, where did the horses come from." He probably just likes to play. ”
"That's the professor next to him?"
"Yes, the surname is Shen, and he is likely to be the one who made the idea."
Chen Ming nodded, and at this time, both of them rode in their direction, the professor waved at the two of them, and Chen Ming and Lin Chen also signaled to them.
"I'll ride one more lap, you go first, I don't understand anyway." Wu Xiaoqing said to Shen Changwen.
Then he asked the riding teacher, "Can you make them run faster, because it will be boring to ride a horse." ”
"You're just learning," said the riding teacher, "and falling off a horse is no small thing. ”
As far as Wu Xiaoqing's character is concerned, he learned to shout to drive the horse the first time he got on the horse, and he really wanted to give him a fast horse, and he was either killed by a fall or kicked to death by a horse.
"That's better than being caught up and stabbed to death." Wu Xiaoqing muttered something in his mouth.
He didn't care what the riding teacher said, first let the horse jog in small steps, and then try to force the horse's belly, but in the horse farm, the horses prepared for these novices are all old geldings, and Wu Xiaoqing doesn't hold a whip in his hand now, so no matter how he bares his teeth on the horse, the head under his ass is still walking unhurriedly. After a slow and leisurely circle, its mission was completed.
Wu Xiaoqing dismounted very dissatisfied, thinking to himself whether to invite the equestrian teacher to have a meal at noon - otherwise, at this rate, they would be able to learn to trot in three days - and for the next task, trotting on a horse is far from enough.
"Director Chen, Miss Lin," Wu Xiaoqing called out to the two of them according to the predetermined salutation, which was considered to have completed the polite procedure. After sitting down, he complained to Shen Changwen again, "Aren't the horses here running at all?" ”
Shen Changwen smiled - as far as their mission this time is concerned, what he learned in the morning is almost enough, but Wu Xiaoqing definitely needs to soak here for a few days.
Chen Ming has some say on this topic: "Are you novices, of course the horse farm doesn't dare to let you ride fast horses." Many veterans of horseback riding will be deflated when they encounter a new horse, let alone a novice riding a new horse. ”
"How long will it take for that horse to get acquainted with?"
"Like people, the relationship is good, a few days is enough. It's not good, and it's awkward every day. ”
"I just talked to Professor Shen, you still like to play with cold weapons?"
Wu Xiaoqing looked at Shen Changwen for a moment, then nodded.
"The sword is not difficult, but the armor is a bit more difficult. Especially the kind of chain mail you want, now you don't need to make movies, it's troublesome to make, I'd rather make plate armor, get a mold, and the machine will be formed as soon as it is pressed, simple. ”
"I know," Wu Xiaoqing said, "but I like chain mail, which looks too bulky." ”
"Actually, the plate armor should be lighter," Chen Ming said as he took out his mobile phone and found a contact information from it for Wu Xiaoqing, "A set of chain mail is at least twenty or thirty pounds in weight." Call him, costume props master, I am also a fan of cold weapons, if you have any requirements, just say it, oh, he is also surnamed Chen, my family. ”
Wu Xiaoqing took the phone and went to the side to call, he was really anxious about it. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't buy it online, he wouldn't have been able to find a relationship for a while in reality, and he wouldn't have thought of asking Lin Chen here.
"Master Chen, I am the ...... introduced by Director Chen"
Wu Xiaoqing started to call here, and Shen Changwen and Chen Ming also began to talk about the main topic, that is, the script.
Although Wu Xiaoqing verbally said that the transfer of the script was about it, it was still necessary to sign it, which was a necessary procedure, and it was best for Shen Changwen and Wu Xiaoqing to sign it, because Director Chen still didn't know who the ownership of the script belonged to them, and it would be bad if they made trouble with each other in the future.
Shen Changwen signed very happily, and then took the contract and went to sign it for Wu Xiaoqing, who was on the phone.
After the contract was put away, the main purpose of Lin Chen and Director Chen's visit this time was completed, and the rest of them could talk about some light topics. For example, about many details in the script - Shen Changwen is actually not interested in this kind of topic, just because the two sides are really not familiar with each other, and there are no other topics to talk about.
According to Director Chen's idea, he plans to make this film into a small-budget serious time-traveling drama, there are many time-traveling dramas in the domestic market, but they are all noisy, either absurd, funny, or pretending to be absurd and funny. Without him, the market is like this, what kind of audience has what kind of film, no matter how good you shoot, like many low-cost sci-fi abroad, domestic people can't understand it, there is no cultural edification, so it still doesn't work after all.
But this script is different, the theme of disaster relief can be understood by a person, and the theme can even be said to be a bit of a main theme. And it is to save the ancient disaster, the Chinese have always liked historical dramas, this is good, history and science fiction are combined, and the story itself is not bad, the details are very sufficient, at least there are not many parts that need to be changed by Director Chen.
"If you want to open the blade, yes, I know when you register, and I will say that the movie should be used well," Wu Xiaoqing emphasized again, "If it is convenient, it will be equipped with two daggers, the kind that can be inserted in shoes." ”
"The chain mail should be polished, so that others can see, Master Chen, do you have a helmet there, well, you also need a helmet, it doesn't matter if the style is lightweight, the key is light and strong," Wu Xiaoqing was afraid that he would not be clear enough, so he repeated it twice, "What materials you look at, the cost is not a problem...... Okay, yes...... It's best to pick it up within two days, and I'll pick it up the afternoon after tomorrow. ”
A phone call took Wu Xiaoqing ten minutes, and after sitting back, he said to Shen Changwen: "In the afternoon, you have to send me to Master Chen's first, he needs to measure his body shape to make armor." Do you want to make a set? ”
Shen Changwen shook his head. In this mission, Wu Xiaoqing can still scare and scare people by relying on armor to save his life, but he can't.
Shen Changwen and Chen Ming looked at each other, Chen Ming gestured to Lin Chen, and Lin Chen took out another contract and gave it to Wu Xiaoqing. Wu Xiaoqing glanced at Shen Changwen, and there was only one meaning in his eyes - should I sign it?
Shen Changwen nodded, and Wu Xiaoqing signed.
After chatting for a few more minutes, Chen Ming and Lin Chen said that they were going to ride two laps on the field, and then got up to say goodbye. Wu Xiaoqing was about to discuss with Shen Changwen about them going to the shooting range to practice shooting, Shen Changwen said, "Don't you know this director?" ”
"He," Wu Xiaoqing looked at Chen Ming, "I don't know, what's wrong?" ”
"I am a very famous director in China, and I can't figure out how he could think of filming these things you wrote. Haven't you seen the movie? ”
Wu Xiaoqing pouted: "In the past, I couldn't eat enough, where did I get the movie to watch." I've watched a lot of movies. ”
"If you haven't seen it, let's watch more when you have time," Wu Xiaoqing's quality Shen Changwen couldn't save it for a while, so he could only urge him to study harder, "In the future, if you are external, don't say that you are doing business, just say that you are making movies." When the film starts, you have to go to the scene and get acquainted with the situation. ”
"Let me go to the movies?" Wu Xiaoqing didn't react.
"I didn't let you shoot, let you be a consultant," Shen Changwen said, "You signed all the contracts just now." ”
"Did you let me sign it?" Wu Xiaoqing didn't care, "I don't understand anyway." By the way, what does a consultant do? ”
"It's just to let you see what's wrong with the process of making a movie," Shen Changwen said, "and when the director himself is not sure, find someone to discuss." I'll tell you in detail when I watch a movie when I'm free, can I leave now? Or wait for dinner. ”
"The food here is hard to eat, and I'm afraid it's too late to eat it when it's time."
The prop master who made the armor and swords was in the north of Ningzhou, and they rode horses in the south of the city, driving for hours.
After the car started, Wu Xiaoqing looked at Shen Changwen's list and confirmed the things that had been delivered one by one.
"Plastic mirrors, glass balls, artificial pearls, artificial gemstones, pure gold bricks...... This is real gold, I bought tens of thousands, why buy it? ”
"If they don't recognize the gadgets, they use them, and if they recognize them and think they don't have any value, they use real gold. Don't let us be beheaded as liars," Shen Changwen also felt irritated when he thought of this mission, "You're okay, running outside, carrying a gun on your body, just suffering a little, it's not life-threatening." I...... If you can't do it, you will confess. ”
"Didn't the eldest brother say that these would be very valuable?"
"That's what he said, after all, we haven't met yet," Shen Changwen asked, "Do you know how people lived in the Middle Ages?" ”
"I don't know...... But it's better than primitives. ”
"I'd rather face primitive people," Shen Changwen patted the steering wheel, "We can still drive a car to go to the primitive society, I'm afraid it's not safe, it's okay to buy an armored car and tank, anyway, they don't understand, they treat us like gods." If you go to the Middle Ages, you will be burned to death as a devil if you drive a car...... You can only learn to ride a horse. It's just horseback riding, and I'll have to deal with them when the time comes...... When something goes wrong, I'll have to count on you to save me. ”
"That's fine, do we have a gun?"
Shen Changwen is not as optimistic as Wu Xiaoqing, he pistols hit a few people, a dozen people, I'm afraid it's barely okay, what they have to face is a medieval civilization, a country with thousands of troops......
I wish them all the best on their trip.
