It was raining heavily, a big truck was driving suddenly between the muddy mountain roads, and a middle-aged driver in the cab was driving attentively, the road was very steep, not to mention that it was still raining today, even for the drivers who had walked on this road for more than ten years, it was a big challenge.

There were five people sitting in the back of the truck, both men and women, and although it was raining heavily, it was stuffy and hot inside, and everyone had some tiny beads of sweat on their heads. Chen Kaige, who was sitting in the corner, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and while secretly scolding the bad weather, he noticed that Li Yange's face was pale next to him, and he couldn't help but ask with concern: "Yange, are you okay?" ”

"It's okay, it's just a little motion sickness." A smile squeezed out of Li Yange's pale face, he didn't have the habit of motion sickness, but the rugged mountain road, coupled with the muddy road, the car swayed and the bumpy feeling seemed to turn out all the internal organs of the person.

"That's how it is in the mountains, you're about to reach the village, so you can rest and rest when the time comes." Seeing that Li Yange, a young man, said that he was motion sickness, Chen Kaige was a little glad that Professor Du did not follow, otherwise this steep road into the mountain alone, I am afraid that he would have to be sent to the hospital before Professor Du entered the mountain.

"Hmm." Li Yange nodded, endured the discomfort of his body, and turned his gaze to the outside of the car. The truck was heading up the hill, and the scenery behind it was receding all the way, the muddy mountain road, the pouring rain, and no sign of people around.

"The Child King" was filmed in the Yunnan-Guizhou Mountains, limited by the rugged mountain roads, even decades later, it is relatively backward and poor, not to mention that it is now 87 years old. According to Chen Kaige, there are about 500 people living in the mountains, including 70 percent of the elderly and children, and the young people have gone to work in the cities closest to the mountains.

After more than ten minutes of bumpy rides, the truck finally came to a slow stop.

Chen Kaige took the lead and got out of the car, he had been here for a few months, he was relatively familiar with the surrounding environment, as soon as he saw the big stone at the entrance of the village, he said to the people around him: "When you arrive, you are ready to get off the car." ”

As soon as Li Yange wanted to get up, he intuitively felt that his legs and feet were weak, if it weren't for someone on the side who quickly helped him, I am afraid that he would have to get out of the car.

"Yan Ge, are you okay?" Chen Kaige walked over with an umbrella.

"No, it's just that my legs are a little weak." This is not Li Yange's hypocrisy, anyone who has been in the car for four or five hours, and in this steep and muddy mountain road, I am afraid that his legs will be a little weak.

"The mountain road is too rugged, when you join the crew, you have a good rest first, and then talk about it when you wake up."

Chen Kaige was not surprised, when he came for the first time, he was also weak.

Hearing this, Li Yange nodded, took down his suitcase, took the umbrella of the person next to him, followed Chen Kaige, and walked towards the village.

Walking into the village, he saw that most of the surrounding houses were made of wood, and the roofs were covered with straw to protect them from the wind and rain.

Not long after, Chen Kaige led Li Yange to a wooden house, and after opening the door and walking in, he said: "It may rain heavily in the past two days, and the crew has also decided not to shoot for the time being, so you will live here first, and you will follow when the weather is clear." ”

The ground in the wooden house is still muddy, because of the serious resurgence, not to mention the sticky walking on it, there is a lot of yellow mud on the feet. The gap in the corner of the wall was dripping and leaking, and there was a small wooden barrel underneath Then, a wooden bed was placed on the left side, and there were several stacks of worn bedding on it, Li Yange walked over and touched it, it was a little damp.

Seeing that he was silent, Chen Kaige thought that he was not satisfied with the accommodation environment here, "The environment here is not as good as Beijing, Yan Ge, you will suffer a little, and you will be a little bit better." ”

"What Director Chen said, I didn't come here to enjoy happiness, the teacher told me before that the environment here may be a little poor, and I have long been mentally prepared to come and exercise well." Li Yange turned around and shook his head.

Although the environment in the house is simple and leaking rain, in general, it is already very good to have a place to shelter from the wind and rain, which is much stronger than he thought before facing the loess with his back to the sky.

When he heard that the poor environment was exercised, Chen Kaige was very happy, he was really afraid that Li Yange would not adapt to the environment here, after all, the conditions were too simple, and even he, the director, was a little uncomfortable, let alone Li Yange, a college student.

Chen Kaige looked at his watch, and at a quarter past two in the afternoon, "That's okay, I won't disturb your rest." Dinner at five o'clock in the evening, when the time comes, I will have someone call you. ”

"Okay, Director Chen."

After Li Yange sent Chen Kaige away, he re-examined the environment in the house, except for a wooden bed, a wooden table, and two chairs, there was nothing.

Putting the suitcase on the table, taking out a large water cup from it, and taking out daily necessities such as toothpaste and toothbrushes, Li Yange took off his coat and prepared to lie on the bed and sleep for a while.

The bumpy journey was not only physically uncomfortable, but also mentally tired.

"Shhh

As soon as he got into the futon, Li Yange gasped, this futon was a little too cold!

Fortunately, it is now May, and the climate here in the Yunnan-Guizhou Mountains is not bad, otherwise it is raining so heavily outside, and the bedding is cold and damp, so people have to freeze to death.

After tossing and turning for a while, the feeling of exhaustion gradually hit her heart, and Li Yange unconsciously fell asleep in the cold futon.

Time passed little by little, the sky outside gradually darkened, the heavy rain continued to fall, the house became more and more damp, Li Yange sat up from the bed with sleepy eyes, and looked at the dark room a little confused.

He was woken up cold!

"Yan Ge!"

At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside, Chen Kaige stood at the door with an umbrella, saw Li Yange sitting up, and said with a smile: "You woke up just in time, the meal has been prepared, and you can start eating." ”

"Okay, right away." Li Yange rubbed her face, and then got up and put on her coat.

A few minutes later.

Holding large black umbrellas, the two walked one after the other to the only school in the village.

"This school was built when educated youths went to the countryside, and after returning to the city, there was only one teacher left here."

Listening to Chen Kaige's introduction and comparing it with the picture in his memory, Li Yange affirmed that this is the school in "The Child King".

As soon as they entered the classroom that was open on all sides, there were more than a dozen people sitting in it, and as soon as they saw Chen Kaige coming in, they all shouted: "Director Chen." ”

"Come, let me introduce you."

The faint candlelight in the classroom illuminated everyone's faces, Chen Kaige stood to the side, and said with a smile: "This is Li Yange, the soundtrack teacher I invited from Beijing, and during the next filming, Mr. Li will work with us." ”

"Hello everyone, it's a pleasure to work with all of you."

Seeing that the young teacher Li greeted everyone generously, the leading actors, assistant directors and others in the crew also took the initiative to get up and introduce themselves.

"Hello Mr. Li, my name is Gu Changwei, and I am in charge of the cinematography of the film."

This dark and familiar old face, Li Yange raised her eyebrows, it seems that Gu Photography had a young and old appearance when he was young.
