Chapter 18 Days Related to Youth

The narrow alley, the dilapidated walls, and the broken blue bricks are scattered everywhere.

I was walking on a loess road. It rained heavily here not long ago, but now it is exposed to the sun again, as if it is cursed by nature.

In the changes of moisture and dryness, the loess formed into mass of mud. After being crushed by human weight, the mud instantly turned into powder, bringing up a layer of hazy dust.

When the dust settled, a group of young people squatting at the entrance of the alley were exposed.

These are seven or eight young men, both men and women. Whether men and women, they are wearing uniform olive green military uniforms and their faces are full of rebelliousness. Unfortunately, the military uniforms on their bodies are actually not decent, either short or generous, which makes their arrogance look a bit ridiculous.

Their expressions were impatient, as if they were waiting for something.

Soon, another wave of young people dressed in the same dress appeared. They came from a distance and finally stood in front of the first wave of young people.

Without too much words, the two groups of people met and fought together in the blink of an eye. The boys were holding broken bricks, steel-headed belts, and broken table legs, and they all played their weapons so hard that they could not help.

The girls did not give in. They raised a handful of sand and dared to rush over and scratch the faces of the enemy opposite. They are not cheerleaders. In the capital, this kind of girl is called Sami. Mi describes a girl who is good-looking, while Sami is a heroic Sami.

Trust me, this is definitely a compliment!

Of course, the scene in front of me is not a group fight, but a TV filming.

More than 30 years ago, the exact same scene occurred in an alley in the capital.

Of course, the two groups of people in the picture are actually not bad people, and there is no great conflict. In the final analysis, they are just doing things that suit that era, and things that everyone would do in that era.

More than thirty years have passed, and the former youth has become the middle-aged man today. One of the middle-aged men has written this memory into a novel, and another middle-aged man is making it into a TV. In the future, there will be another middle-aged man who will change it into an old movie.

This is not a story, not a novel, not a TV series, this is a youth. It is Wang Shuo, Feng Xiaogang, Ye Jing, and many people, their days related to youth...

When everyone was fighting together, Liu La hid at the end, constantly threw up pieces of gravel and smashed into the crowd. Sometimes it would hit the enemy, but sometimes it would hit his own people.

Feng Kuzi, played by Liu La, is younger than everyone in the play, only seventeen or eighteen years old. Therefore, when encountering such a scene, he did not dare to rush forward, but he was eager to fight in his heart, so he had to choose to participate in this way.

People in Beijing were quite fierce in those days, unlike now when they only talked.

Shi Tou Meng went to the meeting with both hands. The stubborn lords killed the little bastard with an axe. The two children of a dean of a university decided to live and die at the Prime Minister's house, only because of false hooligan crimes. The students in Qinghuayuan even made their own rocket launchers and red guards to fight. Mongolian students at Beijing University also took advantage of the night to cover the entire Zhongnan Sea.

These are all things that happened in that era, and they were all things we listened to as stories when we were young. At that time, people were full of battles, and even put life and death and interests aside, otherwise they would not have led to the subsequent severe attacks.

...

Back to the topic, when Liu La picked up the stone again and was about to throw it out, suddenly, Ye Jing stopped.

"Stop, everyone stop." As he spoke, he walked to Liu La's side in confusion, frowned and looked at Liu La: "Put your hand out."

Liu La couldn't figure out what was wrong, so he reached out his hand obediently.

Ye Jing frowned even deeper: "Your hands are so beautiful."

Liu La rolled her eyes and said to herself, "That's my fault."

Liu La's hands are indeed very good-looking, with well-proportioned bones, firm skin, and slender and powerful fingers. This is not like a hand throwing stones on the street. This hand should play the piano and hold a red wine glass.

"Makeup artist, hurry up and draw for him. The paintings are a little more ordinary and dirty." Ye Jing called the crew staff and asked them to come over and get Liu La's hands.

However, just after he finished calling, he repented: "Forget it, you don't need you anymore. Spicy, you can find some yellow mud on your hands, so it will look more natural."

Liu La has nothing to say, so the director can do whatever he wants to do, and he still has this kind of professionalism.

He took a bottle of mineral water, reached a point on the ground, reached out to stir it up. When his palm was pulled back, it had become very dirty, and the cracks in his fingers were filled with yellow mud, which really looked more in line with the image.

"Okay, all departments are ready, let's start shooting this episode again.321action..."

With Ye Jing's order, the interrupted shooting started again. This time the process went smoothly, and there were no mistakes during the period, and it was completed quickly...

After leaving Lao Mo's restaurant that day, Liu La did not wait too long. That night, he received a call from the crew producer.

On the phone, Liu La negotiated the contract with the producer. While he was asked by the director, the price code given was quite reasonable. On the other hand, he didn't care much about the money and thought it was almost the same, so the two sides quickly reached an agreement. Each episode of the TV series was 1,600 yuan, and it was expected that it would be filmed at about 50 levels.

Back then, Liu La was not like now. Although 1,600 is not much, it is not considered a bully. If this is still the important character in a TV series, no matter whether he is a newcomer or not, if he doesn't have 20,000 yuan in an episode, he will ignore you and feel embarrassed to say it out.

After the contract was negotiated, Liu La went to sign the contract early the next morning.

At noon on the day after signing the contract, he received a call from Ye Jing. "Spicy, hurry up and prepare. The Lao Mo restaurant is waiting at 2 pm. Our crew has officially gathered. The first stop is to go to another place."

"Okay, I'll arrive on time." Liu La agreed without hesitation.

He had nothing to prepare, so he put on a few pieces of change clothes, called his parents to notify him, and said goodbye to his master's wife and brothers one by one. Finally, he carried the instructions of his parents and the five thousand dollars he forced him to send to him, Liu La drove to the Old Moxi Restaurant with the 5,000 yuan he forced to him.

Liu La came early. He was a very punctual person. He felt that it was better to be late than to be late. When he came, no one else had arrived. He waited for about 20 minutes before other actors appeared one after another.

The last person to arrive was Ye Jing.

Ye Jing rented a big bus and carried the crew members. The bus headed straight to the Beijing Expressway.

Because it is a period drama, it has to be divided into two locations for filming. One is naturally in the capital city. The other needs to find a place similar to that of the capital city 30 years ago. After all, metropolis like Beijing are developing rapidly. So many years have passed. It is absolutely impossible to find the environment 30 years ago in the capital city.

I don’t know who recommended it, but in the end the crew chose a relatively remote county in Hebei Province. The development here is relatively slow, very similar to the one in the capital 30 years ago. As soon as he saw the photos here, Ye Jing immediately decided that it would be it anyway.

It is about 300 or less than 400 kilometers away from the capital. It sets off at around 2 pm. After more than five hours, at around 7 o'clock, the bus drove into this small county town weathered by time.

The staff who arrived early had rented rooms for everyone and prepared meals.

Food and accommodation are all in the only hotel in the small county town. The crew rented out the entire hotel. There are less than 10 rooms here, including men, including directors and actors, each with three people and one room for girls, and two people with one room for girls. The distribution is just enough.

Liu La, Chen Yufan and Wen Zhang were assigned to the same room. After taking the car for the whole afternoon, the car was always bumpy because the road conditions were not good, and the car was almost disbanded. They were all tired.

After a few quick bites of the meal, we dried another bottle of white wine, and everyone lay in bed to rest early.
