Chapter 172 A woman should focus on her career(1/2)
In July, Jiang Yu brought the crew to Shuozhou, Jin Province.
At the junction of Jin Province and Inner Mongolia, there is a place called Dahebao.
The reason why it is called "fort" is because it is located on a high ground and is built on the river. In the 13th year of Chongzhen, the Great Wall was built here in the Ming Dynasty to defend against foreign enemies.
Although it has been abandoned for many years, traces of the ancient Great Wall still exist tenaciously.
"This earthen mound was a urn city before. Do you know what the urn city is? Just build another city outside the city gate. The enemy breaks through a door, and there is another door inside when they come in."
The local fellow villager introduced to Jiang Yu enthusiastically, "There are also those trunks over there. Although they are so tall now, they have grass. They used to be beacon towers..."
Jiang Yu pulled out the weeds from the ground and smiled and said, "Aren't these all douzi? How can you tell me so clearly?"
"Can I not be able to tell the difference? I grew up here since I was a child. Look, there are still words," the fellow villager took Jiang Yu and others and pointed to a broken stone on the ground. "These are all plaques on the urn city before."
Jiang Yu squatted down and took a closer look. Although the weather was severely weathered, the "Jin Tang Yonggu" engraved on it was still vaguely visible.
This is history, Jiang Yu was amazed.
Things from hundreds of years ago, the river of time, just lie here quietly, no one cares about it.
The fellow villager's surname is Yang, and he is the last family in Dahe Fort. The transportation in the fort is inconvenient, so the farmers moved to the mountain to live.
He refused to move away and patrolled along the Great Wall whenever he had time.
No one gave him money, no one cared about him, and he himself didn't know what he did this, but there was a strange sense of responsibility that drove him to stay here and protect these broken monuments.
Today, the Dahe Fort is rarely visited, with weeds growing, the sky is high and the clouds are light, and there is a certain loneliness.
Qin Hailu stood up, looked around, suddenly pointed to the front and shouted, "Look, there is a wind turbine over there."
Jiang Yu also stood up and looked into the distance. Sure enough, rows of white wind turbines were rotating constantly in the distance.
In front of the generator is the ancient Ming Great Wall.
History and modernity suddenly blend together at this moment.
"It's so nice here," Qin Hailu stretched her body and said with a smile: "It's a very wonderful feeling."
Although "Donkey Gets Water" has not started yet, she has a premonition that they will make a very interesting movie here.
Jiang Yu said: "The scenery here is so beautiful. If you set up a tourist attraction, someone will definitely come."
The fellow villager waved his hand, "The traffic here is too far off. The young people have entered the city, and only we are the old guys left. Who can travel?"
"It depends on our director Jiang Da," Qin Hailu teased: "If our movie becomes popular, maybe someone will come for the sentiment."
Sentiment is a very wonderful thing. After "Wulin Wai Chuan" became popular, I don't know how many people ran to Feilong Valley when they were fine, and wanted to see if Tongfu Inn was still there.
After "33 Days of Love Break" became popular, it also led a group of girls to check in to Dongfang New World, waiting for the fountain to kiss her boyfriend at night.
To be honest, why do you have to go to the front of the fountain?
But this is called romance.
After the farmers on the fort moved away, many empty caves were left, one of which was the largest, with the highest terrain and the widest surrounding area.
According to fellow villagers, the cave was a long time ago. It was a temple built by a landlord in the late Qing Dynasty. After liberation, it was converted into Dahebao Primary School.
Now there are no children in rural areas, and the primary school has been moved to the town, so Dahebao Primary School has been vacant.
After the crew came, they paid the village and prepared to transform it and film it in it.
According to Jiang Yu's original plan, the primary school should have been changed to Sanmin Primary School for shooting, but after he walked around Dahebao, he had some other ideas and kept the "Dahebao Primary School".
The scenery here is really good. If "Donkey Gets Water" becomes popular in the future, the local area can create a scenic spot and develop the tourism industry.
Two days later, Ge You arrived and the crew officially started filming.
Speaking of which, Principal Sun (Fan Wei) brought four teachers to Dahebao and set up a primary school to realize his dream of saving the country through education.
However, Dahebao is remote and has a drought all year round. It takes Qingshui River more than ten miles away to get water. Principal Sun applied to the Ministry of Education to raise a donkey for water use, but the boss just refused to approve it.
In desperation, Principal Sun fabricated a teacher named "Lu Deshui" and asked for an extra salary from the top, and then used this salary to raise a donkey for the school, which was actually a waste of salary.
Every time the superior sent someone to check, Principal Sun refused to let Teacher Lu go to the countryside to visit the students' homes and was not in school, so as to avoid investigation.
But I was so desperate that the superiors believed it and mistakenly thought that Teacher Lu was a model of his teacher. He wanted to make him a model and specially sent a special commissioner to assess Teacher Lu.
In desperation, Principal Sun found a little copper smith (Wang Baoqiang) in the countryside, took a bath and cut his hair, put on a Zhongshan suit, pretending to be Lu Deshui.
The story begins here.
According to rumors in the world, Ge You has the ability to wear clothes in old clothes, which means that no matter what clothes are worn on him, he can make people feel that this is his clothes, and everything seems so natural and appropriate.
At this time, Ge You changed into a black Zhongshan outfit and sunglasses. For some reason, he felt a bit funny.
"Secretary Jiang, bring my cane," he shouted at Jiang Yu.
"Here, special commissioner," Jiang Yu ran over and handed him a crutch.
Ge You took the cane and went to the ground, and took a very authentic London accent, "thank you."
Jiang Yu was happy, "Okay, special commissioner, let's get in the car."
The fellow villager came over with a donkey cart. The two of them jumped into the car in a strange way and headed towards the Dahebao Primary School.
Principal Sun, played by Fan Wei, stood in a row with several teachers, waiting to greet him.
Now Chef Fan doesn’t read the recipes or the art of war, he has become the principal!
Ge You got off the car first, wearing sunglasses, with a cold face, and was as harsh as if it was 20,000 or 50,000 yuan.
Fan Wei strode forward a few times, shook hands with Ge You, and said with a flattering smile: "Welcome to the special envoy..."
"yue!" Ge Yougang reached out and shook him. He couldn't hold back and directly retching.
Jiang Yu hurriedly supported him afterwards.
"What's wrong with the special commissioner?" Fan Wei asked.
"There is altitude sickness, yue..." Jiang Yu himself couldn't hold back.
The essence of comedy lies in contrast. Ge You wore a black suit. He looked unique in style in the last second, as if he was about to come and ask for punishment, but he immediately broke his achievements in the next second.
Thanks to Ge You's acting skills, this reversal seems extremely natural and funny.
"After, prepare for the next game!"
Previously, Jiang Wen recommended a cameraman to Jiang Yu, named Zhao Fei. He is very capable and has a very deep experience in the circle. Jiang Yu spent a lot of money and came to visit him with the script before he invited him to the crew to take charge.
Zhao Fei did not disappoint Jiang Yu's expectations and arranged every scene properly.
The actors in the crew, Ge You, Fan Wei, Qin Hailu, Zhang Yi and others, are all skilled in acting, and their control and interpretation of the characters are all classic.
In this way, director Jiang Yu has nothing to do.
Because summer is too hot, outdoor scenes can only be filmed in the evening or early in the morning. At this time, the sun is shining, so the crew packed up their things and moved them into the house.
"Baoqiang, have you learned foreign languages before?" Jiang Yu asked while drinking herbal tea in the cave.
Wang Baoqiang was wearing a gray Zhongshan suit and showed a harmless smile: "No, I went to Shaolin Temple at the age of 8 and I have never been to school. I envy you college students."
Jiang Yu smiled and said, "Then you have to learn a few foreign languages from Teacher Qin."
Wang Baoqiang naturally didn't understand the meme of "learning foreign languages", and grinned and said, "Don't worry, director, I can definitely speak a good foreign language."
Qin Hailu, who was standing beside him, heard Jiang Yu's malicious intentions, spat at him and said, "Director, can I do this?"
Jiang Yu looked at her and saw Qin Hailu wearing a blue cheongsam, wearing a white gauze dress outside. When she smiled, her eyebrows were dignified and charming.
"Okay, sister, you're so good, I'm so moved when I see it," Jiang Yu looked at Baoqiang again, "Do you think she looks so good?"
"It looks good, very beautiful," Wang Baoqiang kept nodding.
Qin Hailu teased him and said, "Which one is better than your girlfriend?"
"Everyone looks equally good-looking, each has its own good-looking." Wang Baoqiang smiled silly.
This guy looks stupid, but he is not stupid at all.
When I have nothing to do, I show that kind of harmless smile, but in fact I have a very high emotional intelligence and are very smart.
Jiang Yu said: "Then your girlfriend is so beautiful. You can go out to film and leave her alone in Yanjing, so don't worry?"
"Director, what's wrong with this? My girlfriend just graduated from college and is so simple."
"Does she especially like doing hair?"
"How do you know?" Baoqiang said in surprise: "She told me that good-looking girls are willing to do their hair."
Jiang Yu laughed, patted his shoulder, turned around and went to look at the camera.
He was not idle and teasing Wang Baoqiang, mainly because Baoqiang is really good at dealing with him, and Ma Rong is really unauthentic, so he could only give Baoqiang a vaccination like this.
If you say that Baoqiang is really clean in the black entertainment industry, his closest wife is colluding with the agent, but he doesn't reveal any bad news about him.
If it were other stars, I guess I would have been crushed by a short essay.
This is worth learning from by Jiang Yu.
After a while, Zhao Fei had just arranged the camera and the lights when he saw Zhang Yi and Guo Jingfei running in sweatyly, grabbed a pot of herbal tea on the table, and poured it down.
"What are you two doing?" Qin Hailu asked.
