My 1995 Small Farm.

Liang Yuemin saw Chen Ling's slightly depressed expression, but he laughed: "I guess that was your idea before, that you wanted Qingwen to go with you, and bring his family with him. When the other side found out, they were scared.

As for your own words, I think when people say about opening another branch line, they are not fooling you.

But if you take advantage of their leniency and try to cram in people at random, they will find it difficult.”

There is one more thing Liang Yuemin didn’t say.

That means the director will also feel that he is being provoked.

Chen Ling said whoever is allowed to join the crew will join, so who will be in charge of this TV project in the end?

Moreover, they also have to stuff in some relatives and friends who have no acting experience, and then they have to guide the filming, which is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also costs a lot of money.

After all, the cost of filming at that time was much higher than in later generations.

If there are too many NGs, a large amount of lost work time will be incurred.

Not to mention the main theme, which has the characteristics of a political mission.

Who is kidding you?

"Well, it turns out they were bragging before. I thought our braised beef noodles were very valuable now."

"It is very precious, but you know what a Beimin man is. If you don't brag like this, you are not a Beimin person. I just met you before, and I think you are young and promising, so I am willing to brag."

Liang Yuemin laughed. He grew up there and knew the place very well.

Once the northern guys get excited, they will pat their chests and make promises. If they feel regretful afterwards, they will make excuses with a reckless attitude.

It’s still funny to talk about.

The only thing is, don't be too serious about it afterwards.

Even Zhao Dahai was powerless to complain about this. He had obviously experienced a lot of such things from his old man.

When he heard Liang Yuemin say this, he was speechless.

……

After they finished sweeping the snow and complaining, Liang Yuemin called back and made an appointment to meet.

These days, working hours are indeed late.

Most of them really last until the tenth or fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, frequent visits to relatives are the norm.

Who is in the mood to work so fast?

But the situation for the "Return of Glory" crew is rather special.

They have to go to Hong Kong Island early.

This kind of drama requires real scenes.

Special landmark buildings must be featured.

All arrangements must be realistic.

So after discussing with Liang Yuemin, the date was set on the twelfth day of the first lunar month.

They wanted to come and meet as soon as possible, and after the meeting, they immediately went to Hong Kong Island.

We came here to meet, it's just a stopover and we want to take a rest.

After all, long-distance travel is very tiring these days.

"Let's meet for a while, shall we meet in the city?"

"That's not the case. They came to the village and said they were following Teacher Chen Xiaoer..."

Liang Yuemin was also surprised when he said this: "It is said that Teacher Chen is not sociable. I have heard people say this many times in Beijing. I didn't expect that he has a good relationship with the crew of Returning Home."

"Oh?"

Chen Ling didn't expect that Chen Xiaoer would know these people.

But on second thought, what kind of status does his father, Old Man Chen Qiang have? Although there are many big guys in "Return of Glory", they are different, so it is not surprising that they have this kind of relationship.

"Well, let's just come to the village. We have the waiter to lead the way, so we don't have to worry about anything."

To be honest, after what happened on the set of "Return of Glory", Chen Ling felt disappointed and immediately lost interest in joining the crew.

Although it is right for them to be embarrassed, it was because they spoke so confidently before.

What a convenient door.

Even the most reasonable person would feel uncomfortable when faced with such a gap.

But I didn't expect it.

On the night of the twelfth day of the first lunar month, this group of people followed Chen Xiaoer to Tenghe Township.

Liang Yuemin, Zhao Dahai and Shanmao drove a sled to pick it up.

After both parties met, they realized it was a misunderstanding.

The reason is also very simple.

The above request is to simplify the plot.

Because this kind of main-theme TV series with political missions is not only for ordinary Chinese people, but also for foreigners and overseas compatriots.

This really can't be messed around with.

Otherwise it will be a failure.

On the surface, everything is fine, but sooner or later a drama of satisfactory quality will be produced.

In other words, sooner or later a good drama about the return of Hong Kong will be made as a commemoration and a presentable display.

So why can't it be this one?

What’s more, this film has gathered together so many veteran veterans and powerful actors from Hong Kong.

It also adds the story of a domestic new company, Braised Beef Noodles.

Braised beef noodles are now the flagship in China.

It has suppressed Japanese companies in the Taiwan Strait and is the pride of the country.

It can be said that there are political factors as well as humanistic factors, and we also have to consider the people's hearts and so on.

With so many comprehensive factors, everyone must be cautious.

and so……

Arrived at the farm and met Chen Ling for the first time.

The assistant director apologized directly:

"Brother Chen, I'm really sorry. This is our fault. We were the ones who boasted before..."

This means that only Chen Ling himself can appear in the screen. Other people like his brother-in-law Wang Qingwen can only play the role of a driver or a small supporting role with few lines.

I really can't give you any roles with lines.

"So this is ah."

After listening to the whole story and looking at the relevant stamped documents brought out by the assistant director, Chen Ling suddenly understood.

That little discomfort and unhappiness also disappeared.

"That's what I said. Some things can only be explained clearly if you talk face to face."

Chen Xiaoer was wearing a military coat and a shit hat and poked his head out from behind. "Fugui, this is why they want to come to see you. It's not just to test your acting skills. This is sincerity, right?"

Then he blinked.

What this means is that they are not here to see your acting skills, but to take this opportunity to see if you are angry or not.

Has the attitude changed?

After all, the fact that the braised beef noodles uses Chen Ling’s Fugui Farm as its brand name says it all.

Chen Ling laughed when he heard that, and didn't say much or explain anything.

It is estimated that these people saw that he did not go to Tenghe Township to pick them up.

That's why you apologized as soon as we met.

Do you think he is angry?

Even though he understood it in his heart, he didn't point it out.

It has been snowing intermittently these past few days, and the mountains are restless. He has to stay in the village at night and not go out.

When he is in the village, his family and the villagers feel at ease.

The dog, cow, eagle and horse in the family also have a backbone.

No matter what happens, it can be dealt with in a timely manner, and there is no need to worry about emergencies.

Liang Yuemin, Zhao Dahai and the other two naturally would not explain any more.

As old men who have been in society for many years, they naturally know that sometimes one still has to be tactful and not appear to be too easy to talk to.

The crew of "Return of Glory" were wrapped tightly.

After arriving at the farm, when he went to the kitchen to eat, Chen Ling took off his clothes and realized that it was not only the crew members who came today. The main actor Jiao Huang from the mainland was also there.

"Damn it, Teacher Jiao?"

Chen Ling was stunned. Who wouldn't recognize Kangxi's face? It was so recognizable.

But what he didn't understand was that the actors at that time were so low-key and simple. This was low-key to the extreme.

Not to mention what she was wearing, the key point is that she didn’t bring anyone with her and just followed the crew into the mountains?
"Hey, Boss Chen knows me?"

Jiao Huang was also stunned. The title of teacher was not yet common these days. When he heard Chen Ling calling him that, he was full of curiosity.

I felt that this young man was calling me so affectionately.

But he could clearly see that Chen Ling was not that kind of smooth person.

"I know him, I know him, I know him very well."

Chen Ling walked forward with a smile. He didn't say anything about others, as this man was one of his idols. To call him an idol would be an insult to Uncle Jiao.

“I’ve seen your plays and movies.”

"Oh? That's no wonder. Haha, I'm actually surprised that people in our country don't really recognize actors now."

Jiao Huang smiled and thought that even if he had seen my work, he shouldn’t just call me teacher.

But this thought only flashed through his mind twice, and then he shook hands with Chen Ling enthusiastically.

After all, this young and promising boss Chen is the owner here, and calling him by a respectful title is a great respect to himself.

"Why did Teacher Jiao come with me? I heard that you settled in Shenghai, didn't you?"

"Well, my father lives in Beijing. He's old and in poor health, so he's been in and out of the hospital frequently. I stayed there to accompany him during the New Year... In addition, our crew also has to catch up with the schedule, and I have my own tasks. I have a historical drama to shoot next year, so I'll come along. I'll finish what I'm supposed to shoot by then, and I'll feel more relaxed."

Jiao Huang is a senior in the entertainment industry. He became famous for his drama and has profound skills. It is like he has come down to earth for him to film a TV series.

It's true, he can handle any role with ease and is extremely hardworking.

He doesn't have to worry about other people's multitasking which might affect the quality of the shooting.

"Historical drama?"

Chen Ling immediately became excited when he heard this. At this point in time, it must be the Yongzheng Dynasty.

I didn’t expect to find Teacher Jiao so early.

"Yes, it's a historical drama. They want me to play the emperor. It's only 20 episodes. It's not a big workload, but I have to prepare in advance. After all, I promised them, and our superiors also take it seriously."

Jiao Huang's attitude is serious, but his words are gentle, which makes people feel comfortable listening to them.

"Is that so... Look at me, I'm busy talking to Teacher Jiao. Come on, everyone, please sit down. We've been traveling for such a long time, let's eat quickly and then go take a rest."

Chen Ling invited everyone to sit down.

Jiao Huang also sat down.

The evening meal is mainly game.

Pheasant, venison, etc.

This is not something Chen Ling did on purpose.

It’s because it has been snowing these days, making it much easier for dogs to catch prey.

There are many gains every day.

Chen Ling took it, gutted it, plucked the hair and cleaned it, then started stewing it.

These game must be eaten quickly.

You have to eat it. When the snow melts and the temperature rises, this thing will go bad if you don’t finish it.

And the small water tower is full and can’t hold much more.

"Wow, this pheasant and venison are so delicious."

"Thank you so much, Boss Chen, for the treat. This meal would definitely cost less than a thousand yuan in Beijing."

This is not an exaggeration at all.

Although prices have not skyrocketed in this era, in Beijing, eating such a large amount of meat, especially game, is still quite expensive.

The key is that there are a lot of them.

"What kind of meat is this? Rat? It looks like rat, but it tastes good."

"They're not mice, they're squirrels. These little creatures also come down the mountain to steal food. The kids have caught a lot of them."

Chen Ling explained that although squirrels can store food, their population has become too numerous in the past two years.

The inventory of each individual will naturally be greatly reduced. Needless to say, after the heavy snow, they will come down the mountain to find food.

"Ah? No way, squirrels can actually be eaten? And they taste so good?"

Everyone was surprised and then ate with relish.

They had traveled a long distance for a day and a night, and were tired and hungry. They only talked about food and drink, as well as the rumors about Chen Ling.

After all, Chen Ling is not only the second boss of the braised beef noodles, but he has also frequently appeared on TV, portraying tigers and thousand-year-old turtles.

Everyone was very curious.

After filling my stomach, I naturally have a lot of questions to ask.

really.

At the end of the conversation, no one mentioned when to check on Chen Ling's performance.

This is really just to see his attitude change and whether he is angry.

Alas, this is the cultural environment of our country, with too many twists and turns.

Chen Ling didn't say anything. When the assistant director suggested that the accommodation fee be included in the performance fee, he just waved his hand and said it was not necessary.

After eating so many delicious meals and staying a night for free, they felt a little embarrassed.

Jiao Huang, on the other hand, although old, is very energetic.

After dinner, he did not rest, but went to visit Zhao Yubao and Professor Zhong with a cup of tea.

indeed.

Chen Ling regarded him as his idol, and he regarded Zhao Yubao and the other two as his idols. As artists, they had some things in common, so they really enjoyed chatting with each other.

Even though Zhao Yubao acts weird and unserious in front of Chen Ling and the others, he is very stylish in front of outsiders and not everyone can talk to him.

When they were talking in high spirits.

The young people like Chen Ling had already gone out with their dogs to patrol at night.

Snowy nights are suitable for a little hunting, but that’s secondary. The more important thing is that people are afraid that wild animals in the mountains will come down from the mountains and sneak into the village, harming livestock or hurting people.

Patrolling the night, setting off firecrackers, and lighting bonfires in the land temple and threshing ground.

At least it gives the beasts a warning.

In the first month of the year, it was snowing, night patrols, and small hunts.

After returning, the young people in the village gathered at Chen Ling’s farm.

Then the meat of the game was stewed in a pot, and the young men drank and played cards until half the night.

Even if it's not for guarding against wild beasts, it's still very enjoyable.

Perhaps because of sufficient preparation, the dogs kept patrolling back and forth.

Chen Ling and his friends played until late at night, and there was no movement outside.

Just when they were about to disperse, someone in the backyard suddenly screamed.

When Chen Ling and the others walked over, they realized that someone from the crew went to the toilet and saw a golden monkey on a tree. There were shadowy figures on the tree in the middle of the night, and they all looked like human beings.

It scared me to the point of peeing my pants.

The whole person fell flat on his face.

It's really laughable.

……

When he woke up the next day, the guy felt scared by the monkey and felt very embarrassed.

I couldn't help but say:

"Boss Chen, is this a farm or a zoo? Why do you have so many strange and bizarre creatures, even monkeys?"

"That's right. I didn't notice it when I came here last night after dark. How come Boss Chen has so many dogs? I thought the grey ones were wolves. They are really scary."

"There are monkeys in the trees, and there's an eagle over there. That eagle is really big. There are cows and horses outside. It's really like a zoo."

"...You are late. Fugui, you can still see tigers here before. There are red-crowned cranes on the mountain and wild geese outside. Don't make a fuss."

This is what Chen Xiaoer said.

He had just finished speaking.

As if to show their support, this early in the morning, before breakfast, someone from the village came over and called Chen Ling: "Fugui, Fugui, come and help us. The sow gave birth to piglets last night. It was too cold. The piglets are almost frozen to death. The old sow is still protecting them. It's so worrying." (End of this chapter)
