1993 My China Entertainment Age

Chapter 147 "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog" starts up, and the heroine is confirmed!
I haven't seen her for a few years, but Zuo Xiaoqing has obviously grown up a lot. She used to be a little girl, but now she looks like a big girl.

Jiang Xiaofeng thought that he hadn't seen Zuo Xiaoqing for several years, so he said to the class teacher Xie Yuan: "Mr. Xie, can I have a word with Zuo Xiaoqing in your class?"

Without waiting for Xie Yuan's answer, Jiang Xiaofeng went on to say: "This is Mr. Xie, Xiaoqing and I worked together on the movie "Sunny Day" directed by Jiang Wen a few years ago..."

After listening to Jiang Xiaofeng's words, Xie Yuan suddenly remembered that Jiang Xiaofeng once played the role of Liu Yiku in the movie "Sunny Day".

Moreover, Xie Yuan and Jiang Wen are good friends, and they invited Jiang Wen to the class before to teach the students. For Jiang Wen's sake, they agreed to Jiang Xiaofeng's request.

Since the second half of the 80s, with the rise of the "fifth generation" of directors, a striking phenomenon has emerged in my country's film industry, namely the "Jiang Wen and Xie Yuan phenomenon".

Some male actors who are not handsome, or even almost ugly, have sprung up and "killed" on the screen.

Like Tao Zeru in "One and Eight", Zhang Yimou in "Old Well", Jiang Wen in "Red Sorghum", Xie Yuan in "The King of Children", Ge You and Liang Tian in "The Stubborn Lord", and "Chrysanthemum". Li Baotian et al.

With their superb acting skills, relaxed and natural posture, rich breath of life and their unique temperament as ordinary ordinary people, they deeply attracted the audience of that year, especially the young and middle-aged audience.

After getting the consent of the class teacher Xie Yuan, Jiang Xiaofeng called Zuo Xiaoqing out of the classroom and chatted with her in the corridor for a while.

Meeting Jiang Xiaofeng again, Zuo Xiaoqing was also very happy and excited, but when he thought of the few letters he wrote to Jiang Xiaofeng later, all of which fell into the sea, he still felt a little unhappy, curled his lips, and said: "Brother Xiaofeng, why are you You haven't replied to me?"

Looking at the aggrieved Zuo Xiaoqing, Jiang Xiaofeng explained with a smile: "Xiaoqing, it's not that I didn't reply to your letter, it's because I moved, and then I went to Xiangjiang, and I accidentally lost your address. .”

Because of time constraints, Jiang Xiaofeng didn't chat with Zuo Xiaoqing for too long, but just told Zuo Xiaoqing her phone number and address so that she could come and play with him when she was free.

Although Jiang Xiaofeng didn't choose him as the heroine of the movie, he was somewhat disappointed, but Zuo Xiaoqing was very happy to be able to meet Jiang Xiaofeng again and get in touch.

On the way to leave Yanjing Film Academy, director Huo Jianqi asked Jiang Xiaofeng what he thought: "Director Jiang, have you decided which actress to choose?"

Jiang Xiaofeng closed Yanjing, thought about it seriously, and the faces of Sun Li, Zuo Xiaoqing, and Chen Hao respectively appeared in his mind.

But only Chen Hao's smile appeared in Jiang Xiaofeng's mind, and the other two actresses did not appear in her mind.

Seeing that Jiang Xiaofeng didn't speak, Huo Jianqi didn't ask any further questions, and began to close his eyes to rest, waiting for Jiang Xiaofeng to give him the final answer.

Before that, Jiang Xiaofeng and Huo Jianqi had also discussed it, and the two had a clear division of labor and each performed their duties.

After the movie "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog" is launched, Jiang Xiaofeng will at most help the crew and director as a producer, and will never interfere with director Huo Jianqi's shooting opportunities or challenge director Huo Jianqi as an actor authority.

To put it simply, director Huo Jianqi had the final say when shooting the movie "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog", and Jiang Xiaofeng had the final say when it was not filming.

After some internal struggles, Jiang Xiaofeng opened his eyes again, and finally made a decision, choosing Chen Hao, a student of Chinese opera, to play the role of the Dong girl in the movie "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog".

Hearing Jiang Xiaofeng's answer, Huo Jianqi also opened his eyes, and joked with a smile: "I dare say that the two of us came to my alma mater today to see beautiful women."

"I just thought that you had already set your sights on that little girl named Zuo Xiaoqing."

Jiang Xiaofeng explained with a smile: "Director, where are you going? Zuo Xiaoqing and I are old friends. I met her when I made my first movie."

After confirming the heroine of the movie "The Mountain, That Man, That Dog", Jiang Xiaofeng and Huo Jianqi discussed and decided to start the film in mid-July.

Tao Hong heard that Jiang Xiaofeng was going to make the movie "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog", and she felt quite regretful, because at that time Huo Jianqi had gone to the Central Academy of Drama to find her and Duan Yihong.

But at that time, the two were rehearsing a big show, so Huo Jianqi waited for them to finish class. While waiting, he found Liu Ye, a sophomore, playing basketball with a group of buddies on the playground.

Liu Ye was still showing dunks there. At first, Huo Jianqi thought he was a sports student, but when he found out that he was studying acting, he deliberately chose him to play the role of his son.

But later, because Jiang Xiaofeng brought money into the group, Huo Jianqi abandoned Liu Ye and chose the more popular and well-known Jiang Xiaofeng.

Before starting the machine, Jiang Xiaofeng also paid a special visit to Mr. Peng Jianming, the original author of the movie "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog".

Jiang Xiaofeng was very interested in novels like "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog". After seeing Peng briefly, he asked him under what circumstances he wrote it.

Peng Jianming told Jiang Xiaofeng that in 1982, his second year of writing, he hid in his hometown, Pingjiang, in a small town in the mountains to write.

At that time, there was no telephone, and the contact with the outside world was by writing letters, so he could only go to the rural post office with only one person on duty to send letters.

The officer on duty told him that they worked very hard, carrying postal bags, running between the mountains and mountains for many years, and it took four days to run a post, and it took decades to travel like this.

Therefore, Peng Jianming wrote the details provided by the watchman into the novel "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog".

During the chat with Jiang Xiaofeng, Peng Jianming also told Jiang Xiaofeng frankly that he wrote this novel for two reasons:

"One is to write about ordinary people like my grandfather who are unknown, hard-working, and dedicated to the public."

"Secondly, Huaguo novels at that time were almost all scar novels, reflection novels, and educated youth novels. Everyone was denouncing that era, and the entire style of writing was dull and depressing."

"I think literature shouldn't be like this, it should have different faces and atmospheres..."

Although Jiang Xiaofeng and Peng Jianming didn't meet for a very long time, only one morning, but he still felt that the communication with him had benefited him a lot.

However, the novel "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog" was just a short story at the beginning, only four or five pages long, with more psychological descriptions.

The large script that Jiang Xiaofeng saw was written by Huo Jianqi's wife, Siwu, who served as the screenwriter.

In order to achieve the capacity of a movie, Siwu added a lot of dialogue to the script of "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog", and brought many characters from memory to reality, thus enriching the script.

The reason why Jiang Xiaofeng was willing to participate in the movie "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog" was also because after reading the script written by Siwu, he thought the script was well written and highly artistic.

In order to be able to fully devote himself to the movie "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog", Jiang Xiaofeng even asked his manager Chen Jiaying to take a long vacation, which can also be said to be an indefinite vacation.

As for the new album, Jiang Xiaofeng's voice was a bit hoarse because his throat and vocal cords had not recovered, so he had to postpone it indefinitely.

It's not that Jiang Xiaofeng is being lazy, it's mainly because the 101 world tour concerts made him a lot of money, but at the same time hurt his vitality.

May 7st, morning.

Due to the limited cost, the main creators and crew members of the movie "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog" all took the train to Changsha, and then took a long-distance bus from Changsha to the crew.

Director Huo Jianqi and his party were in the car, and they also encountered car robbers and road tyrants who hijacked the car. Fortunately, none of the big guys encountered any danger to their lives, so they escaped the disaster.

Because the shooting location is located deep in the mountains in western Hunan, the transportation is extremely inconvenient, all photographic equipment, etc. are selected by hiring local porters to the shooting location.

There are many mountains in Hunan, and there is only a narrow stone road in the mountains. The porter walks in front, and Huo Jianqi and the main creative team follow behind, as if returning to the "primitive" slow pace.

As a well-known star, Jiang Xiaofeng definitely couldn't take the train with the crew, especially on an overcrowded train. His appearance could easily cause riots or stampedes.

Accompanied by two assistants and four bodyguards, Jiang Xiaofeng flew to Changsha by plane, and then took a special car to Xiangxi.

When Jiang Xiaofeng arrived on the set, Chen Hao happened to be wearing a local characteristic costume with braids, like an elf in the mountains, smart and beautiful.

Seeing Jiang Xiaofeng looking at him, Chen Hao asked with a smile: "Brother Xiaofeng, does this dress look good on me?"

Jiang Xiaofeng saw that there was no one around, so he cheekily smiled and praised: "The clothes look good, and the people look even better!"

Hearing Jiang Xiaofeng's appreciation for him, Chen Hao, who has always been generous, was also a little flattered. He didn't know what to say, but he still smiled and said "thank you" to Jiang Xiaofeng,
ps. There is an Easter Egg chapter on Chen Hao. If you like it, you can give it a thumbs up. Thank you for your rewards and encouragement from the two little friends of Meihuasannong Meihuazui and Uesugi Bushiyuandian Zhenguang Kenshin. Thank you.
