Chapter 418 416. Father and Son

In the early morning, the dense woods are filled with clouds and mist, and it seems that the clouds and mist in the sky are also immersed in this beautiful mountain forest. The gurgling stream and the crisp sound of water bring people into a quiet and peaceful place.

Smoke curled up from the small courtyard on the hillside, and the green smoke added a touch of human fireworks to this early morning.

Chen Li'an looked at the beautiful scenery and couldn't help but exclaimed: "The scenery is so beautiful."

"You think so too." Huo Jianqi said while chewing the cake: "Many people in the crew were worried that the beautiful scenery would affect the expression of the theme and downplay the hardships of rural postal workers."

Chen Li'an said with a smile: "This is real rural life. Why has it been downplayed? Although the 223-mile postal route is not completely difficult and dangerous, what is difficult is the persistence of decades and the dedication day after day."

Huo Jian nodded and said, "That's right. Why do we have to follow conventional shooting techniques to be realistic? What we originally wanted to convey was the deep and warm emotion between father and son."

After hearing this, Chen Li'an couldn't help but give Huo Jianqi a thumbs up and said: "You really look like a great director now. This film is a good one. You will definitely win awards and be soft-hearted!"

"Haha, I'd like to lend you some good words." Huo Jianqi finished the cake in his hand, looked at the brighter sky and said, "The light is almost there, let's get started."

Chen Li'an hummed and turned around and walked into the room.

In the dark room, the father opened the huge mail package again. He was worried about his son who was going to work on his first day.

The son gnawed on the freshly cooked corn and watched his father sort out the mail package for him. In fact, he didn't trust himself. It was his first time on the postal route of more than 200 kilometers, and he didn't know if he could do it well.

Facing his father, the son feels alienated and in awe. The father is out delivering letters all year round. The father and son spend little time seeing each other and communicating even less.

Looking at his son who was sitting opposite him, his father sorted out the parcel and said, "A round trip of two hundred and twenty-three miles takes up three days, with two nights in between."

"I know, you have come and come back, but I don't know yet." The son's words were a bit stubborn, as if he wanted to prove that he had grown up.

The father didn't say anything concerned. He just turned around and took a map he drew and said to his son: "On the first day, today, I drew a map for you. You have to walk eighty miles up the mountain and climb over the sky." Cheling to Wangfengkeng, stay at Jiubanlang, stay there early tomorrow morning."

The son listened to his father's words and his past experiences, but still didn't take it to heart. He took the map and said, "If I walk more on the first day, I might be able to get back in two days."

Fathers and sons in China always seem to be like this. One is taciturn and expresses his care in a blunt way, while the son always wants to prove that he is worse than his parents and feels that their experience is not as smart as his own.

The father glanced at his son and said in a light but serious tone: "If you do it, it won't be two days a day, three times or five times."

The son replied perfunctorily: "I know."

"I have retired, and you volunteered to take over."

The son stood up and didn't pay attention to listen to his father's words. Instead, he looked at his father's old uniform in front of the mirror. He picked up the hat hanging on the shelf, put it on his head and looked at himself in the mirror. Suddenly, he felt a sense of inheritance falling on him. .

"It's a hard job, and you might regret it before long."

The son adjusted the hat on his head, not taking his father's words to heart at all. What he thought in his heart was that if you can do it, I can definitely do better.

"I can't wear your uniform. The branch director said that my size's uniform won't be available for a while."

After hearing this, the mother who was making breakfast couldn't help but said: "Now you don't have to worry about food and clothing. What's wrong with being a farmer? Now that your father is back again, if you want to be a worker, go to the city."

The mother knew how hard this job was, and felt a little sorry for her son's choice.

The son's view was different from his mother's, and he said stubbornly: "Mom, you don't understand. The rural postman is a state cadre. My taking over is different from going to the city to work. There must be a state cadre in our family."

The son looked at himself in the mirror wearing a hat, took off his hat and looked at his busy mother and said: "Mom, do you think so?"

After saying that, the son hung up his hat, turned around and went in, not caring whether his mother understood or not.

"Click!"

After the scene ended, Huo Jianqi stopped it in time and couldn't help but rub his fingers and said: "The scene just now was really smooth! I have never filmed such a smooth scene!"

Chen Li'an said with a smile: "Teachers Teng and Teacher Zhao did a good job, and they immediately brought me into the role."

"Li'an, don't be humble, you're good at acting." Huo Jianqi said, stood up and walked to Teng Rujun and said, "Teacher Teng, the way you looked just now really reminded me of my dad. At that time, I My dad does the same thing when he’s working.”

"Parents in the world love each other." Teng Rujun said with a smile.

Huo Jian nodded and said, "It's true. Let's take a short rest, change the camera position, and prepare for the next show."

Chen Li'an came out of the house and took a piece of cake to fill his stomach. He had only eaten corn and was still hungry.

The second child in the yard looked at Chen Li'an eagerly, waiting for him to feed him.

Chen Li'an looked at the eager dick, broke off half of it and threw it into his mouth and said: "We will share the blessings and hardships in the future. Don't take me into the ditch later."

Chen Li'an rubbed his second son's head, and when he looked up, he saw Cheng Hao handing over a piece of cake.

"Eat mine. You're so big, you won't be full from one piece of cake." Cheng Hao stuffed the cake into Chen Li'an's hand and said with some admiration: "You are really good at acting, even better than Uncle Teng."

"It's okay, there's still a little gap between me and the seniors." Chen Li'an said while biting the pancake.

Cheng Hao said with a smile: "Don't be humble, we are all movie kings."

"What year doesn't have a Best Actor?" Chen Li'an said nonchalantly. There are many actors in China who have won Best Actor, not to mention that he only won a Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor.

Without four or five movie stars, I would be embarrassed to go out and brag.

Chen Li'an and Cheng Hao chatted for a while, and Huo Jianqi told him to go filming.

After putting the parcel on his back, Chen Li'an weighed it and said, "It's so light, but there are so many clothes stuffed inside."

"I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it if it's too heavy." Huo Jianqi explained.

Chen Li'an immediately took off the mail bag and said, "No, make it a little heavier. If it's too light, it will be more difficult to perform."

Teng Rujun glanced at him and nodded. A heavier mailbag would indeed make the acting more realistic. If it was too light, he would have to make expressions and movements, which would make it unrealistic.

Huo Jianqi looked at Chen Li'an and said, "Okay, don't complain later. Almost all the subsequent scenes will be carried on your back."

"It's okay, my strength is good." Chen Li'an said nonchalantly.

Someone in the crew couldn't help but laugh secretly. He must have good physical strength, otherwise how could he have so many girlfriends? Most people can't bear it.

The props man held back his laughter and ran over to re-stuff Chen Li'an's parcel, handed it into Chen Li'an's hand and said, "Teacher Chen, can you try this weight?"

Chen Li'an tried it and said, "It's still too light. Add more weight."

Prop looked at the mail bag in his hand and couldn't help but smacked his lips. It felt quite heavy, but seeing how easily Chen Li'an picked it up, he still added some weight to it.

Huo Jianqi said from the side: "Don't make it too heavy. It won't feel heavy when you carry it. If you carry it for a long time, you won't be able to bear it."

"It's not as heavy as a student's schoolbag." Chen Li'an thought of Cici's schoolbag and felt that Cici's schoolbag was heavier than this. Liu Xiaoli prepared a lot of things for her every time, maybe because the poor students had more stationery.

The props added weight to the postal bag, and after Chen Li'an carried it on his back, he felt that it felt a little better.

"I'm ready, Lao Huo, we can start."

Huo Jianqi looked at the drop of the parcel and felt that it should be quite heavy. After the props came over, he asked in a low voice: "How much does it weigh?"

"Thirty or forty." Prop said uncertainly.

Huo Jian nodded and felt that it was okay, so he shouted with a loudspeaker: "Everything is ready, ready to start filming!"

The sky was overcast, it was still early morning, and the light was not bright. The son walked to the yard wearing a bamboo hat and carrying a heavy mail bag. His mother stuffed his bag with food in her hand.

The son stopped and looked back at his father, as if waiting for him to say something.

The father did not look at his son, but looked at the second child who ran over, touched it and shouted: "Second child, go, go."

The second child squatted beside his father and did not move. The son looked at his father and the second child, feeling a little disappointed in his heart, as if no one recognized him and believed in him.

The father shouted a few more words to the second child, but the second child still squatted beside him and remained motionless. The father raised his head and glanced at his son with a gloomy expression. He stroked the second son's dog head and sat on the stone steps to explain patiently to his partner. .

"Second brother, I won't go up the mountain from today on. I'm retired and the branch director won't let me do it. Although I'm not very old now, my leg pain can't be cured."

The son listened to his father's words and subconsciously looked away, as if he couldn't bear to see his mountain-like father saying that he was old.

The father was still talking to the second child, and the son felt a little uncomfortable and shouted to the second child: "Second child, let's go."

The second child seemed not to hear, but still squatted in front of his father. The father pushed the second child a few times, but the second child was unmoved. The son impatiently shouted to the second child: "Don't force me to pull the chain." you go."

Seeing that the second child was unwilling to leave, the father stood up and turned around and entered the house. The mother saw what he meant and followed him in.

The son in the yard looked at the second son and cursed helplessly, but a smile flashed across his lips.

There was a person and a dog in the yard just staring at each other. The son was a little dumbfounded, and then he tried to save his face and said, "If you don't pull him down, I would be less worried without you."

The son looked at the unmoved second son, raised his head and shouted towards the house, "I'm walking", then turned and walked out of the yard, the heavy and bulging mail parcel swaying behind him.

In the yard, my father had already changed his clothes, took the bamboo hat from his mother, and walked outside with a stick that he used as a cane. My mother also walked a few steps quickly and left the yard first.

Arriving outside the yard, the mother looked at her son's leaving figure and shouted: "Son, wait a minute, your dad will go with you."

After hearing this, the son turned around, looked at his mother and shouted, "Mom, if you need anything, just ask Xu Wanchang, I've entrusted him with it."

The son just told his mother that he was not surprised that his father would go with him. He did not say anything to ask him to go back, but just watched his mother call her to go back.

It seems that this kind of ignorance can make him feel less embarrassed and accept his father with him with peace of mind. He is deeply afraid that after talking to his father, he can't help but try to get him to go back.

On the muddy path, there were green wheat seedlings on both sides. On the narrow path, my father chased me with a stick. The two of them faced each other but neither looked at each other. They were shy and silent and could not express each other's thoughts.

But on this path that his father had walked thousands of times, father and son finally walked together.

Suddenly there was light rain in the sky. Chen Li'an looked up, took off his mail bag, looked at Teng Rujun and said, "Teacher Teng, the road is slippery, so be careful."

Teng Rujun raised the stick in his hand and said, "I'm leaning on the stick."

Even if the filming of today's scene is completed, it's raining again, and the subsequent scenes cannot be filmed, so the crew can only rest.

I don’t know how long it will stop raining. When it rains, the air pressure in the mountains is very low. It’s a bit stuffy but very cool.

Chen Li'an returned to his residence and sat on a small stool under the eaves. Watching his second brother walking around in the yard, he couldn't help shouting: "Second Brother! Why didn't you follow me when I called you just now?"

The second child stopped and glanced at Chen Lianyu, then continued to circle.

Cheng Hao sat next to him and couldn't help but laugh: "Why are you still settling accounts with the dog? It can't understand you."

"This kind of dog is so smart." Chen Li'an took out the peanuts and threw them into his mouth, turned to look at Cheng Hao and asked, "It's still early for your role, why are you here so early."

"The road is not smooth and it is not safe to be alone. It is better to come earlier to study." Cheng Hao said with a smile.

Chen Li'an hummed, looked at her and said, "If you don't go to Teacher Teng to study, you won't learn anything by sitting here with me."

Cheng Hao looked embarrassed and blushed slightly. Fortunately, Huo Jianqi came back at this time and shouted "Enjoyed" to relieve her as soon as he entered the yard.

"What kind of addiction do you have? You only filmed a few scenes." Chen Li'an said with a smile.

Huo Jianqi chuckled and said, "The filming went well. You and Teacher Teng did a great job."

Chen Li'an shrugged and said, "They are powerful."

Cheng Hao couldn't help but turn his head and look at Chen Li'an. He didn't know why he was so immodest now. That's not what he told him just now.

"Okay, okay, my best actor friend, let's have a full glass, and you can get some bacon." Huo Jianqi sat down and said, "I feel like I'm missing something if I don't drink some wine today."

Chen Li'an put down the peanuts in his hand and said, "It's true. I'll call Teacher Teng. Hello Cheng, you go and borrow the bacon. Forget it, just buy it with some money. I don't know what I'll get back later."

Cheng Hao said hello, and then thought about Chen Li'an being favored by others. He couldn't help laughing and followed Chen Li'an out. After leaving the yard, Chen Li'an went to call Teng Rujun, while Cheng Hao ran to borrow bacon.

The division of labor was very clear. Huo Jianqi, who was sitting in the yard, couldn't help but pat his legs and muttered: "They look like a couple."

Let’s start with one chapter. There will be another chapter before twelve o’clock. I have been busy revising the previous article today and really don’t have time to write more.
