One hundred and sixty-four dinners.
Oriori woke up from a sleep, it was getting late outside, and the twilight shrouded the endless yellow earth mountains outside the car window, and the world seemed to fall into a warm yellow country.
Yu Min, who was sitting next to Weaving, also woke up, she whispered to the director team sitting in front of her, and then sat back in her position and whispered to Weaving, "Sister Weaving, I asked the director team, and they said they would arrive soon." β
Oriori nodded and said, "Okay, I see." β
The location chosen by the director team is a small mountain village deep in the mountains in the west, where the ecological environment is not good and not suitable for people to live in, and most of the local aborigines have moved out.
In order to film, the crew contracted the entire barren mountain village, and hired many local villagers as special actors to join the filming.
"It's here, get out of the car."
Local villagers have already received the news and are waiting here.
When Weaving got out of the car, he saw the faces full of vicissitudes of life, the skin of the villagers was yellowed and blackened due to long-term work outside, and it could be seen from their neat and clean clothes that they had specially prepared to greet them.
One of the middle-aged uncles who took the lead stepped forward and said to the director, "Director Ma, everyone is ready, waiting for your arrangement." β
Director Ma looked around the villagers, nodded with satisfaction and said to the middle-aged uncle, "Uncle Qi, we just came here today, nothing happened." Let's go back and rest. β
Uncle Qi scratched his head and said honestly, "Director Ma, we have prepared a banquet in the small square of the village to catch the wind and wash the dust for the big stars!" β
Director Ma is also a cheerful character, he responded neatly, patted Uncle Qi's shoulder heroically and said, "Okay, I will arrange for everyone to find their own residence, and let everyone go over immediately after the things are put down." β
When Uncle Qi saw that Ma Dao should respond, he smiled and said, "Let's help the big guy move things." β
The actors got off one by one, and the staff of the director team arranged everyone's accommodation, and each person found their own home according to their roles in the play, and everyone had to live here in the past few months.
The villagers enthusiastically gathered around to help everyone move things, and the weaving home was in a courtyard at the west end of the village, which had three houses made of yellow mud and grass.
The walls are earthy yellow, and this kind of mud house is almost rare in modern society.
You occasionally see in the village that most of these houses are half-collapsed and dilapidated houses.
I don't know where the crew found such a place.
The kitchen on the left side of the yard, the latrine at the back of the yard, and the main house in the middle of the yard.
There are three rooms in this courtyard of weaving, and she lives with the actor who plays her parents in the play, and Yu Min lives with weaving.
After the two put down their luggage, they walked towards the small square according to the radio message from the village loudspeaker.
On the way, Oriori said to Min, "Yu Min, you can drive back tomorrow and stay home for a few days." β
Yu Min thought of the situation just now and said, "Sister Zhizhi, I'd better leave in a few days." β
Oori looked at her and asked, "Why a few days?" β
Yu Min thought of the dim and cold cottage, she had never lived in such a house since she was a child, let alone weaving alone.
I heard that there are all kinds of insects in this kind of house, and now it is winter, there will be no snakes and mosquitoes, but it is inevitable that there will be no other insects, she wants to accompany Weaving here for a few days, and then leave when Weaving is used to it.
"Sister Weaving, I'll be here with you for a few days." Yu Min said, "When you get used to it, I'll go back." β
Oori said, "You can go with confidence." I've lived in harder places than here. β
Yu Min looked at Weaving in shock and asked, "Sister Weaving, is there anything more difficult than here?" β
"Of course there is."
The two walked as they talked, and soon came to the only small square in the village.
What is said to be a small square here is actually a smooth open space, and a few trees of unknown variety grow listlessly around the small square.
The stove was born not far from the tree, and it emitted white smoke.
The clearing was already filled with tables, and under the tables were crates of green beer, and a few bottles of liquor interspersed.
"Come on, come on, sit down."
The villagers warmly beckoned Weaving to sit down, Weaving and Yu Min sat together, and another unfamiliar actress sat next to her, and several plates of cold dishes were already on the table.
After the people came, the director and Uncle Qi began to beckon everyone to eat with an open stomach.
After a day's journey, she was already hungry, so she picked up her chopsticks and began to eat.
The enthusiastic villager pulled his throat and asked, "Does anyone want rice?" β
Oriori hurriedly raised her hand and responded loudly in the surprised eyes of the actress at the same table, "This sister, I want rice." β
A bowl of fragrant rice was brought to Oriori, and the aunt looked at the others at the table enthusiastically and asked, "Do any of you want to eat rice?" β
This table is basically filled with actors, and they rarely eat rice, let alone rice carbs bombs.
The rest waved their hands again and again and said, "No need, big sister, we don't eat rice." β
At this point, one of the actors at the table said, "Bring me a bowl." β
The actor smiled and said, "I'm a little hungry after a day's journey today." β
Weaving ate and ate, and the actress sitting next to her looked at her in surprise, paused, and asked, "Your agent allows you to eat like this outside?" β
Oori whispered, "He didn't follow." β
The actress paused and asked, "Aren't you afraid of being fat?" β
Oori touched her stomach and said, "No matter what, you have to eat normally." β
The actress looked at Oriori's slender figure and didn't know what she was thinking.
"Won't you eat some?" Oriori asked.
The actress shook her head and said, "I don't eat anymore, I am fat-prone physique, and if I eat a little, I will gain weight." β
Oriori thought for a moment and said, "Are you sure?" I heard that this training is very hard, tomorrow the director may arrange for us to learn farm work, this is all manual work, how can you have strength if you don't eat more? β
When the actress heard this, her eyes were a little shaken.
Weaving said, "We are playing a village woman in this drama, how can there be a village woman who can be blown away by a gust of wind?" β
The actress thought about it and felt that what Oriori said made sense, and whispered, "Then I'll eat a little?" It's also for the needs of the role. β
"That's right." Oriori said and gave the actress a piece of meat, saying, "For the needs of the role." β
The actress also stopped being too entangled and began to continue eating.
It's just that they always maintain restraint, and they can eat more dishes, but they don't eat too much rice.
The first dinner party in the group was eaten until the bright moon hung high, and no one cared too much about the time, and the director and several actors were a little drunk.
Oriori didn't drink a glass of wine tonight, her stomach was full of food and all kinds of drinks, broth.
After weaving was almost full, he said to everyone, and left the table early with Yu Min.
The phone in her pocket vibrated suddenly, and Oori picked it up to checkβ"Is everything alright?"
