Chapter 331: A Realistic Play
In Yunnan Province, Tengchong and Lisu people arrived in border villages.
This is a small village with a population of less than 100 households. It is located on the border of China-Myanmar. Villagers live scattered on the hillside and make a living by hunting and planting.
Due to inconvenient transportation, backward infrastructure, low education level, etc., the village's economic situation is extremely poor, and it can even be regarded as one of the most impoverished areas in China. Even if you search the entire village, you can't find a few things that can move on two wheels - whether it is a bicycle or a motorcycle.
But today, several beasts broke into this village.
A hard-core off-road vehicle with four wheels, huge size and a sense of modern mechanical power.
The bodies of these off-road vehicles are covered with dirt and there are traces of wading on the front cover. Obviously, they have made considerable efforts to reach this remote village.
But for the people in the car, such efforts are worth it.
Because what they are about to do is likely to change the pattern of the world - at least in their own opinion.
A woman wearing sunglasses and delicate makeup walked out of the car. She first took the tissue handed over by her assistant and gently wiped off the sweat beads on her face. Then she looked around and nodded with satisfaction and asked:
“Are the machinery ready?”
"Sister Shao Ji, you are ready and you can take pictures at any time."
The assistant beside him answered, throwing the tissue on the ground casually, while the young children who looked at them curiously turned to the toilet paper stained with lipstick on the ground.
They don’t understand what lipstick is, and naturally they don’t understand where the color on the white paper comes from.
Shao Ji noticed the sight of the children in the distance, and the expression on her face immediately became gentle. She squatted down slightly and reached out to shout to the children:
"Children, come here, sister will give you candy."
The children's suspicious eyes swept over her, and then noticed the various shooting equipment that had been moved out of the car. After a brief hesitation, everyone scattered.
In their perception, as long as something strange is dangerous, and this woman has brought so many something strange, her danger is naturally self-evident.
Seeing this scene, Shao Ji shook his head helplessly, then stood up again and asked:
"Are the actors ready? If they are ready, let them go to the village first, learn the behavior of these villagers, chat with the villagers, and master the small details of their speech, so as not to be seen by others."
"If you want to perform a good show, it is not enough to have no language problem. What we want is a 100% reproduction, just treat it as if they were originally villagers!"
Hearing this, the assistant beside him quickly replied:
"Don't worry, Sister Shao Ji, we have done these preparations several days in advance and the venue has been rented. Just wait for you to come here today to finish the filming, and you can submit it after the post-processing."
"That's good. You are quite professional. I'm afraid that if you deal with unprofessional people, if you don't act well, it will be troublesome if you make a bad job. OK, put on my makeup now."
"Okay, Sister Shao Ji, please sit down first, and I will call the makeup artist to come right away."
After saying that, the assistant waved to the makeup artist who had been waiting aside, and began to put on makeup for women.
However, unlike normal makeup, he is taking off makeup rather than putting on makeup.
The original exquisite makeup on the woman's face was wiped off, replaced by simple and simple light makeup, with slightly red eyes, and a few slender crow's feet were added to the corners of her eyes. The lying silkworms were shadowed and light highlights of their cheekbones. The nasolabial folds were deliberately deepened, and the messy hair was scratched, and a tired image appeared in front of everyone in an instant after a trek.
Shao Ji looked at himself in the mirror with satisfaction, and then said:
"Here, just a little bit behind the ear, just put some mud points on me, just a little bit."
The makeup artist obediently applied a handful of mud and water from the ground and carefully bounced it behind Shao Ji's ear with a makeup brush. Shao Ji patiently waited for the mud and water to dry out, and then reached out to wipe away part of it.
Immediately afterwards, she changed into clothes that had been prepared long ago and sprinkled mud and water in a less eye-catching position. When everything was ready, she breathed a sigh of relief and nodded to all the staff and said:
"Start turn on the computer!"
With her order, the photographer, the prop team and the director team took action, and a "documentary interview" officially began shooting.
"Hello, friends, we are now in a small village called Ribian on the border of Yunnan Province. In this village, we are going to interview a special villager."
"I believe everyone has seen the previous news about the shooting death of border smuggling. There are many different comments on this matter online, and there are many rumors mixed in it. So what is the truth?"
"So today, after dozens of hours of trek, we finally came to the home of a victim of this incident. Here we will interview his mother to find out the truth of the incident."
"Note that we did not receive official assistance in this interview, so there is absolutely no possibility of being manipulated by the official public opinion. What we are going to bring to you is the truest story."
As she spoke, Shao Ji stepped towards the scene that had been prepared long ago. There, the actor who played the so-called victim's mother was already in place. She sat dumbly at the door of the dilapidated house, her clothes were torn and thin, her hair was pale and messy, and her face was full of sadness.
Even Shao Ji, who was prepared for a long time, was moved by the scene in front of him, as if she was really interviewing a poor mother who was sending a black-haired man.
According to the script design, Shao Ji walked up to say hello to this "mother", but no matter how hard she tried, the woman just looked ahead with a dull look, not responding to anything outside.
"In helplessness", Shao Ji took the photographer around the dilapidated house and took all the props they prepared in advance into the scene.
These props include cloth shoes that were sewn halfway, so-called photos of their son, burning incense in the corner of the wall, paper money that burned only one corner of it in the stove, rice that was almost bottomed out in the rice jar, cancer diagnosis notices on the table, and change that was pressed under the worn mattress, which added up to less than a hundred yuan.
All these elements combined, and the lonely and helpless old woman sitting at the door, the prototype of a story was immediately presented in such a silent way.
In an already extremely poor peasant family, because the old mother was unfortunately diagnosed with cancer, her son took the risk of selling the food he was most familiar with abroad, but unfortunately ran into a patrol team that cracked down on smuggling and was finally shot dead by the other party indiscriminately, while the remaining old mother could only wait to die helplessly.
Such stories, no matter where they are placed, will arouse strong sympathy and resonance.
After finishing the interview with the old woman, in order to further strengthen the authenticity of the story, Shao Ji took the camera team to interview the old woman's neighbors. From them, they learned that the so-called "dead" son was usually a filial, down-to-earth, smart and simple young man. However, because he was a minority and his family was not in good condition, he had never found a wife. Over time, he gradually got used to being single, and just wanted to serve his mother first and consider himself after his mother passed away.
However, even such a small wish was not realized in the end.
"What a pity, this young man, if..."
"etc!"
Shao Ji frowned and interrupted:
"It's not 'What a pity', it's 'Kuoxiliao'. How do you pronounce your lines? You have to bring them into the role, do you understand? Look at the villagers around you, is Mandarin as standard as you? This re-record!"
The male actor who was scolded by Shao Ji scratched his head embarrassedly, then nodded and replied:
"I'm sorry, Sister Shao Ji, I'll have another one, I promise you!"
Shao Ji waved his hand and walked back to the spot, adjusted his expression, and re-entered the shooting.
The few people were busy until after 4 pm before finally completing the video shooting. The editor immediately started editing the video non-stop. In addition to the content of the video, he also added a clip of the prosperous scenes from various cities to the end of the video, and finally matched it with an empty shot of a mountain village with lights like beans at night.
It was such a shot that the tone of the entire video was suddenly raised several layers. After Shao Ji watched the entire video with satisfaction, he used his mobile phone's 4G network to upload the video on the platform.
And their other force had already prepared all the strategies, and was immediately topped the hot search list as soon as the video was released.
Ethnic minorities, borders, poor people, food, imbalance between men and women, and the gap between rich and poor......
Such a full buff video caused a stir when it was launched. Under the deliberate guidance of the navy, many people subconsciously began to think about the same problem:
Is it wrong to continue a person's life through a limited illegal means when the country cannot help him?
Do we really need to achieve this level of control over food?
Food security was originally intended to ensure the lives of the people, but now, some people die because of this. Is this really our original intention?
These questions were not answered in this video, so someone started to manually @ the relevant official forces and wanted them to respond to this.
However, no matter what kind of response it is, it is destined to be impossible to satisfy them.
Because this is just an vent of emotions.
Are there any emotions right or wrong?
No.
Since there is no right or wrong, how can we falsify it?
Shao Ji sat cross-legged on the co-pilot who had been placed flat, put one hand in front of him, and looked at the increasingly surging comments on the Internet with satisfaction, with an unconcealed and comfortable expression on his face.
Very good.
This mission was completed perfectly by myself.
So, what kind of reward will your own master give you?
Chapter completed!
