Chapter 147 "That Mountain That Man That Dog" is launched and the heroine is selected!

We haven't seen each other for several years, and Zuo Xiaoqing has obviously grown up a lot. She used to be a little girl, but now she feels a bit like a big girl.

Jiang Xiaofeng thought that she had not seen Zuo Xiaoqing for several years, so she said to her class teacher Xie Yuan: "Teacher Xie, can I say a few words to Zuo Xiaoqing, your classmate?"

Without waiting for Xie Yuan to answer, Jiang Xiaofeng continued: "That's right, Teacher Xie, Xiaoqing and I worked together on the movie "Sunny Days" directed by Jiang Wen a few years ago..."

After listening to Jiang Xiaofeng's words, Xie Yuancai suddenly remembered that Jiang Xiaofeng had once starred in the movie "Sunny Days" as Liu Yiku.

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

Starting from the second half of the 1980s, with the rise of the "fifth generation" directors, a striking phenomenon appeared in our country's film industry, namely the "Jiang Wen and Xie Yuan phenomenon."

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

Like Tao Zeru in "One and Eight", Zhang Yimou in "Old Well", Jiang Wen in "Red Sorghum", Xie Yuan in "King of Children", Ge You and Liang Tian in "The Stubborn Master", "Ju"

Li Baotian and others in "Beans".

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

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

Zuo Xiaoqing was also very happy and excited to meet Jiang Xiaofeng again, but when she thought about how many letters she wrote to Jiang Xiaofeng later, they all disappeared, she still felt a little unhappy. She curled her lips and said: "Brother Xiaofeng, why are you

You haven’t replied to my letter yet?”

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 went to Xiangjiang, and accidentally lost your address.

.”

Due to time constraints, Jiang Xiaofeng did not chat with Zuo Xiaoqing for too long. He just told Zuo Xiaoqing his home phone number and address so that she could come and play with him when she was free.

Although Jiang Xiaofeng did not choose him to play the heroine in the movie, and he felt a little disappointed, Zuo Xiaoqing was still very happy to reunite with Jiang Xiaofeng and get in touch.

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

Jiang Xiaofeng closed Yan Jing's eyes and thought about it carefully. 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 smiles of the other two actresses did not appear in her mind.

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

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

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

authority.

To put it simply, when filming the movie "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog", director Huo Jianqi had the final say. Outside of filming, Jiang Xiaofeng had the final say.

After some inner struggle, Jiang Xiaofeng opened his eyes again and finally made a decision to choose Chen Hao, a student of Chinese drama, to play the role of a Dong girl in the movie "The Mountain That Man That Dog".

Hearing Jiang Xiaofeng's answer, Huo Jianqi also opened his eyes, smiled and joked: "I dare you to come to my alma mater today just to see the beauties."

"I just thought you had fallen in love with that little girl named Zuo Xiaoqing."

Jiang Xiaofeng smiled and explained: "Director, what are you thinking about? Zuo Xiaoqing and I are old friends. I met her when I made my first movie."

After confirming the candidate for the heroine of the movie "The Mountain That Man That Dog", Jiang Xiaofeng and Huo Jianqi decided after discussion to set the filming start date in mid-July.

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

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

Liu Ye was still there showing off dunks. Huo Jianqi thought he was a sports student at first, but when he asked about it later, he learned that he was studying acting, so he intentionally chose him to play the role of his son.

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

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

Jiang Xiaofeng was very interested in unusual novels like "The Mountain, That Man, That Dog". After briefly meeting Peng Ming, 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 of Pingjiang, a small mountain town, and wrote.

There were no telephones at that time, and communication with the outside world depended on writing letters, so he could only send letters to the rural post office where there was only one person on duty.

The duty officer told him that they were very hard-working, carrying mail parcels and traveling among the mountains for many years. It took four days for a mail trip, and they traveled like this for decades.

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

While chatting with Jiang Xiaofeng, Peng Jianming also frankly told Jiang Xiaofeng that he wrote this novel for two reasons:

"First, I want to write about ordinary people like my grandfather who are unknown, diligent, and dedicated to the public good."

"Second, the Chinese novels at that time were almost all scar novels, reflective novels, and novels about educated youth. Everyone was denouncing that era. The whole style of writing was dull and depressing."

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

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

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

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

In order to reach the capacity of a movie, Siwu added a lot of dialogue to the script of "The Mountain, That Man, That Dog" and brought many characters from memories into reality, thereby enriching the script.

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

In order to devote himself wholeheartedly to the movie "The Mountain That Man That Dog", Jiang Xiaofeng also asked his agent Chen Jiaying to take a long vacation, which can also be said to be an indefinite vacation. When will he finish filming the movie and when will he come back.

As for the new album, Jiang Xiaofeng has no choice but to postpone it indefinitely because his throat and vocal cords have not yet recovered and his voice is a bit hoarse.

This is not because Jiang Xiaofeng is lazy, the main reason is because the 101 world tour concerts have made him a lot of money, but at the same time it has also greatly damaged his vitality.

July 10, morning.

Due to limited costs, the main creative staff and crew of the movie "The Mountain, That Man, That Dog" all took a train to Changsha, and then took a long-distance bus from Changsha to the production site.

Director Huo Jianqi and a group of people were in a car and encountered car robbers and Roadhogs who robbed the car. Fortunately, no one encountered any life-threatening danger and they escaped.

Because the shooting location is located deep in the mountains of western Hunan, transportation is extremely inconvenient, so all photographic equipment and other equipment were picked up by hiring local porters to the shooting location.

The mountains in Hunan are endless, and there is only a narrow stone road in the mountains. The porters walk in front, and Huo Jianqi and the creative team follow behind, as if they have returned to the "original" slow pace.

As a well-known star, Jiang Xiaofeng is definitely not allowed to take the train with the crew, especially if the train is overcrowded. His appearance can easily cause riots or stampedes.

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

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

Seeing Jiang Xiaofeng looking at him, Chen Hao smiled and asked, "Brother Xiaofeng, do the clothes I'm wearing look good?"

Jiang Xiaofeng saw that there was no one around, so he shamelessly praised with a smile: "The clothes are good-looking, and the people are even better-looking!"

Hearing Jiang Xiaofeng's praise for him, Chen Hao, who had always been generous and generous, was a little flattered. He didn't know what to say, but he still smiled and said "thank you" to Jiang Xiaofeng.
