It took me a long time before Chu Qing fell asleep in a daze.

I don’t know how long I slept, but I could hear a vague noise, from far to near, from vague to clear.

Chu Qing opened his eyes, rubbed his face, and identified it for a while. He heard the sound coming from the corridor. Looking at the sky outside, it was still dark. What time is this?

"Brother Wei! Brother Wei?"

Seeing that Yu Liwei was not on the bed next to him, he shouted twice, but there was no response.

The sound in the corridor continued, and it sounded very familiar. Chu Qing put on his clothes and pulled his slippers out.

At the end of the narrow corridor, under the dim little light, three people were talking about something.

He had never seen Jia Zhangke so angry, his facial features were a little distorted, and he shouted, "Just let her go! We'll really find a escort lady to act! It's not worse than her!"

Gu Zheng advised: "Old Jia, don't be angry, there must be other reasons for them."

Jia Zhangke said: "What else can be the reason! She will be filming her scene tomorrow. I told me tonight that I will stop doing it. Is there anyone like this?!"

Seeing that his emotions were extremely unstable at this time, Yu Liwei knew that he could not communicate anymore, and said, "You go back to the room first and calm down, let's negotiate."

Jia Zhangke wanted to say that Gu Zheng forced him back to his room.

Yu Liwei turned his head and saw Chu Qing and said, "Qingzi, you are here too."

Chu Qing was confused and asked, "What's wrong?"

"The heroine is leaving!" Gu Zheng caught up with the conversation and said angrily.

"Why?"

No matter how stupid Chu Qing is, he knows what the situation is that the heroine is trying to leave while the movie is being filmed.

"It's not because of money!" Gu Zheng said angrily.

Zuo Wenlu's room was upstairs, and the three of them went upstairs. It was already dawn.

Yu Liwei knocked on the door first, "Come in!" someone inside said.

The three of them went in and saw that Zuo Wenlu was packing her luggage, and it was no surprise to see that they came.

Gu Zheng restrained his tone and asked, "Wenlu, I heard from Lao Jia that you are going back to the capital, what's going on?"

"Oh, my dad is sick, I have to go back and buy medicine for him and take care of him."

Zuo Wenlu told Jia Zhangke again the reason she had told him.

When Gu Zheng heard that it was nothing, he tried hard to persuade: "Wenlu, you also know that the filming is at a critical moment. Tomorrow, no, you should be filming your scene today. You are the heroine, but you must not leave!"

"Brother Zheng, I know this, but my father is sick and there is no one around me. I am really worried, so I can only say sorry." Zuo Wenlu's attitude was very firm.

"you!"

Gu Zhenggang was about to get angry, but Yu Liwei grabbed him.

"Miss Zuo, you don't mind if I say a few words." Yu Liwei said.

As the big brother of the crew, Zuo Wenlu respected him quite respectfully and said, "Brother Wei, you said."

"We have problems, we have to solve them. Don't throw tantrums like children. I'll ask you, what do you think in your heart? Tell me if you have something. We trust you, and you have to trust us. We communicate well, all for the sake of making good movies!"

Zuo Wenlu was silent for a while, put down her work and said, "Brother Wei, Brother Zheng, you guys can sit down."

She never looked at Chu Qing in front of her eyes.

Zuo Wenlu's hometown is also from the Northeast, and she is quite a fellow villager with Chu Qing. She has a male lead and a female lead, and she has many rivalries. But except for saying something to Chu Qing when she first met, she has never communicated with him again, let alone having sex with her.

Chu Qing knew that he didn't even look down on him, and he didn't make any sense of boredom. He still greeted him when he met and maintained a very polite relationship.

The three of them sat down, Chu Qing carried a small stool himself and made a soy sauce silently.

"Brother Wei, I think my role is the heroine to be nice, but I have too few scenes and no highlights. I don't think it's worth acting." Zuo Wenlu thought for a while and said.

"Miss Zuo..." Yu Liwei suddenly became excited when he heard this, but his Mandarin level was too bad, and the more anxious he became, the more messed up. He suddenly grabbed Gu Zheng's shoulder and stared at him and said, "Tell her, how does the Hong Kong producer evaluate this role?"

Gu Zheng was also confused for a moment, but he quickly reacted and said to Zuo Wenlu: "Wenlu, although the character Hu Meimei doesn't have many roles, her importance is to some extent stronger than Xiaowu..."

Then there was a large set of play structures of Balabala and feminism, and Chu Qing listened like listening to the book of heaven.

He was squirting water from here, and Zuo Wenlu's expression never cared about it.

Seeing this, Gu Zheng didn't even bother to salivate and couldn't help saying, "Tell me, everyone knows it."

"Okay! I can stay, I have to give it to me the 10,000 yuan first." Zuo Wenlu finally talked about the actual problem.

Although she is a student, she has seen the world. Look at these people, and can she also call the crew? The director doesn't even know what a monitor is. The photographer carries the only machine to watch and shoot whatever he wants all day long. There is no light, and he even has to do makeup by himself. There is also the male protagonist who is untuned...

She was simply afraid that the straw troupe would be ruined at any time, so she wanted to get her pay first.

Gu Zheng did not answer, but instead glanced at Chu Qing's reaction.

The male protagonist's salary is only 2,000 yuan, but the female protagonist's salary is 10,000 yuan, which is five times the difference.

Chu Qing didn't even roll his eyelids, and he focused on his passerby. He listened to the ten thousand yuan, but he thought it was normal. He was a top student at Beijing Normal University, and it would be great if he picked up the rag and gave it two thousand yuan.

"Miss Zuo, you also know that this is not in line with the rules and it makes us embarrassed."

Yu Liwei continued to persuade him with great sincerity, but Zuo Wenlu's attitude was very clear. If you don't give money first, don't talk!

The two of them persuaded each other for a while without any effect, so they had to take Chu Qing back to Jia Zhangke's room.

At this moment, his mood calmed down. After hearing about the situation, he sneered and said, "I knew that's the case!"

"Old Jia, what should I do? Should I give it to her first?" Gu Zheng asked.

"No, absolutely not give it!"

Jia Zhangke looked serious and said, "The other staff members didn't get a penny, so why should they give it to her! This is a rule, and you can't make an exception! Things can't be done well, but you can't be unfair to your friends!"

He sighed again and then said, "What's more, we can hold on until the filming is over."

Hearing this, Gu Zheng was also silent, and Yu Liwei didn't say a word since he came in.

Chu Qing knew that he couldn't help, and he had a good impression of these people and treated them as friends. His buddies had difficulties, and even if they couldn't work hard, they had to let him know that he supported him. So even if he didn't have anything to do, he was always there.

Jia Zhangke smoked one by one, Gu Zheng accompanied him to smoke, and Chu Qing also came to make fun. Soon, the smoke filled the small room and the air became a little depressed.

It was already past six o'clock in the morning, and Wang Hongwei got up too. He heard about the matter and didn't know what to say.

The four of them were all silent in the same room.

Things seem to be irreversible.

It was bright and Zuo Wenlu had already gone downstairs with her luggage. No one went to see her off. Jia Zhangke stood at the window and watched her get into a van and prepare to go to the train station.

"Bang!"

Zuo Wenlu closed the car door.

The car took a breath and started slowly, as if taking away all Jia Zhangke's longing. His already small eyes looked even more blurry and he could not see the spirit inside.

"Hey look!"

Gu Zheng suddenly shouted.

Jia Zhangke came to his senses and saw that the car door was actually opened again. He felt his heart beating.

Zuo Wenlu jumped out of the car with her luggage, looked up and saw Jia Zhangke at the window, waved her hand unnaturally, and then entered the building.

She still didn't leave, she still wanted to play this role, although she always thought that this was a team of craftsmen.

…………

This storm was a surprise, but Jia Zhangke was frightened. He revised the shooting plan and brought Zuo Wenlu's scenes to the front. He was relieved after the shooting.

Zuo Wenlu's relationship with the crew also became very awkward. Even though she tried to pretend that nothing happened, everyone kept a very subtle politeness and distance from her.

The crew's good luck seemed to have changed with this storm, and various troubles began to happen constantly.

Jia Zhangke's shooting technique is simply a rebellious to the eyes of Wang Hongwei and Gu Zheng. It is completely different from what is taught in school. He has to try any taboos that the teacher warns in class, as if he is intentional.

He never did a good job of storyboarding first. Yu Liwei asked him about the way he used the camera the next day, saying that it was all in his mind, but when he arrived at the scene, he had to change it again and again, and new inspiration continued to pour out.

Fortunately, Yu Liwei is not a vegetarian, so he completely took over his inspiration for continuous updates.

The actors are better, and Jia Zhangke's requirements for Chu Qing and the others are really not high. He just asked the starring actor to read the script of the day, and the other secondary actors only told them about the general direction of the plot and the basic performance requirements.

Then, these actors who have no acting experience "play" with movies on the spot.

Due to this untuning shooting method, the direct result is that the film consumption is much greater than the original expectations.

Then Gu Zheng received another call from Beijing, saying that something had to be done with. Jia Zhangke asked him to take the film back and buy some films back.

These big and small things have little to do with Chu Qing.

After staying in Fenyang for less than a month, he felt that he had become one with this small county town, eating, sleeping and buying things, and wandering on the street when he was free, everything was the same as before.

Lao Jia was still very satisfied with his performance, especially when filming a nude scene in Xiao Wu.

In order to meet his beloved singer, Xiaowu ran to the bathhouse to rub his dirty body.

This scene requires Chu Qing to be completely naked. Although he explained it to him in advance and Chu Qing was very happy, Jia Zhangke still felt unsure. He also sent Gu Zheng to do deep ideological work, such as the necessity of nude performances and realistic expression techniques, etc.

After listening in vaguely, Chu Qingyun said, "Isn't it just a bare butt? Just don't pat the front."

The next day, the shooting started, and the artist spent a day decorating the bathroom. All the men present were men, and Chu Qing took off his clothes quickly and jumped into the bath.

His body is very thin, not as full of explosive beauty and power as before, his martial arts practice. His bones are spread out one by one, like ribs wrapped in skin, which can be said to be ugly.

But Jia Zhangke did not use soft light to beautify it, nor did he hide the clouds and mist to create a large atmosphere, so he simply presented this true roughness.

After finishing this scene, Chu Qing quickly climbed out of the bathtub and complained loudly.

The water is so cold!

Yu Liwei looked at the picture and said, "It's shocking!" I don't know if it's about the meaning reflected by the picture or Chu Qing's body.

Jia Zhangke also praised Chu Qing very much, believing that he performed "the kind of love and loneliness in the face of social transformation."
Chapter completed!
