The Era of Hard Work

From mid-October, Quannan has entered the most comfortable season of the year, the temperature is not too high, even the sun at noon is not too harsh, and there is no willow catkins that flutter with the wind when the sun shines in spring.

This kind of weather can last for about a month.

The autumn is crisp and the breeze is pleasant. At the exit of Quannan Yaoqiang Airport, a large number of media reporters gathered.

On the unit identification board, the largest is the national media, and the smallest is the newspaper and TV station in Qingzhao County.

There are 20 or 30 journalists alone.

This time Zhao Laogen came from Liaodong with the main members of the crew. Lu Dong and Lu Zhenlin not only personally led the team to pick them up, but also mobilized many media reporters to come over.

Of course, Zhao Laogen himself is attractive enough to media reporters.

The county sent personnel from the propaganda department to assist in the reception, led by Xia Dan, the former host of the county TV station.

After waiting for too long, Zhao Laogen and his party of more than 30 people came out from the exit of the airport. The reporters cheered and surrounded them. Lu Dong beckoned from a distance.

Both parties have actually cooperated, and Zhao Laogen is also very particular. During the interview, he frequently mentioned the cooperation with Lujia Village and Qingzhao County, and he also expressed his gratitude.

"Aren't you going?" Yuan Jing asked Lu Dong.

"Calm down." Lu Dong said to her first, and then said to Xia Dan: "Director Xia, you have a lot of experience in dealing with the media. Go get people out? It's not a problem to hang around for so long."

"Okay, I'll go right away." Xia Dan led the people from the Propaganda Department into the crowd.

After another five or six minutes, even the airport security came over, Zhao Laogen and his party came out from the reporters' siege, led by Lu Dong and Lu Zhenlin, boarded the bus and car respectively, and headed for Qingzhao County.

At noon, the leaders of Qingzhao County held a banquet at the county guest house to welcome Zhao Laogen and his party.

For the sake of publicity, the two leaders who created the Qingzhao Cultural Tourism Project are able to pull it off.

After lunch, just to rest for a while, Zhao Laogen and several directors of the crew, together with the screenwriter Zhang Ji who came here from Quannan, followed Lu Dong and Lu Zhenlin to Lujia Village to prepare for the follow-up filming matters.

A group of people went straight to the old street in the north of the village, and the future shooting will mainly be here.

Walking on the Qingshi Road in the old street, Zhao Laogen looked at the houses on both sides and said, "Mr. Lu, compared to the last time I came here, it has changed a lot."

The bluestone road under the feet is not completely flat, but bumpy, and it feels particularly textured when walking, very much like the old rural roads that were in good condition before.

Look at the old house again. Although it has been renovated, the mottled traces left by the years are still there.

Lu Dong said: "In order to highlight the sense of age, the blue bricks and bluestones outside have not been moved, mainly for reinforcement, but the wood has been replaced in many places. The wood cannot withstand the wind and rain, and many of them are eaten by insects. gone."

Zhao Laogen came to a gate and asked, "Go in and have a look?"

The photographer said, "Go in and have a look."

The houses on the north side of the old village were basically empty, and they were prepared for filming. Everyone went in and took a look around. The houses are very spacious, and there is enough space for setting up cameras.

Lu Dong didn't know much about filming, so he stood outside and chatted with Zhang Ji.

Zhang Ji is half from Quannan, and knows a lot about Lu's restaurant and Lujia Village. During the writing of the script, in order to fit the characteristics of Lujia Village, he often went here, and he is quite familiar with Lu Dong.

If there is a sequel in the future, Lu Dong hopes that the several parties can continue to cooperate, and the plot will still take place in Lujia Village.

We were investigating here, and there were a lot of discussions outside. When a group of people went out, the old street was already full of people. Obviously, once the news of Zhao Laogen's arrival spread, the merchants in the village who were being renovated, and people from nearby villages, They all ran over to watch the fun.

The old street of Lujia Village was overcrowded instantly.

Even many workers on the construction site of the neighboring resort and the amusement park came to the old street.

Those in their thirties and forties like Taidong may not know who the Four Heavenly Kings are, but there are very few people who don't know Zhao Laogen.

Fortunately, Lu Dong was prepared in advance and asked Lu Tao and Li Hongxing to bring some young people from the village over to maintain order in the old street.

People like Zhao Laogen came here for work, and Lu Zhenlin personally persuaded them, and the talents gradually dispersed.

"Too enthusiastic." Zhao Laogen was very patient, and he didn't lose his temper because of the crowd. Instead, he chatted and laughed with Lu Dong: "It was a very correct decision to film "Country Love" in Lujia Village. "

People in flower sedan chairs carried people, and Lu Dong said: "People in Quannan have a deep love for Teacher Zhao."

"Northeast Taidong is a family." Zhao Laogen could say everything in the scene, but Zhao Laogen knew very well that if he hadn't had some fame, and Lujia Village would use his fame to make a name for himself, he might not be able to become a rich man at Lu Dong's level , immediately smiled and said: "Mr. Lu, the cooperation between our two companies is a strong alliance. I hope we can extend the close cooperation for a long time."

When he came, he had a plan: "Mr. Xu contacted me before, saying that he wanted to talk to me about advertising for Lu's Hot Pot. I thought it was a good thing."

Lu Dong also spoke nicely: "Lu's Hot Pot is a public restaurant, and Mr. Zhao is an artist who is loved by the public, so Lu's Catering wanted to invite Mr. Zhao to advertise for Lu's Hot Pot."

Zhao Laogen didn't hesitate, and responded immediately: "I'll accept this advertisement! Mr. Lu, you can ask Mr. Xu to talk to us in detail, and I'll explain it later."

"Okay." Lu Dong also seemed very generous: "I will let Xu Qin discuss this matter later, and I will definitely give Mr. Zhao a satisfactory answer."

With Lu Zhenlin here, the people on the old street dispersed for a while, and it became much quieter.

A group of people walked through the old street and came to the snack street on Dongxi Road, which will also be used for shooting.

In the script written by Zhang Ji, many social and local environments all refer to the actual development of Lujia Village.

After Li Wenyue saw the complete version of the script, Lu Dong heard from him that there were two characters in it who were a bit like Seventh Uncle and Seventh Aunt.

In particular, there is a scene in which one of the main male characters, the undercover human trafficker gang, assists the police to catch all the human traffickers.

Isn't that what Uncle Qi did?

Lu Dong asked, it seems that when Zhang Ji came over, Seventh Uncle had an in-depth chat with Zhang Ji.

As for whether to talk about the script or not, Lu Dong is not very clear about it. He is a complete layman about the script and so on. He only knows the specific progress, but has never read the relevant content.

Even a layman knows that the script is different from the novel, and he can't tell the good or the bad if he reads it.

When Zhang Ji came over for the first time, Lu Dong personally received him, but his company had a lot of business, and when Zhang Ji came later, he was received by people from the village.

Lu Dongguang heard Li Wenyue mention that Uncle Seven took on the task of receiving Zhang Ji.

By the way, Zhang Ji asked Uncle Qi to take him into the ditch?

If it were someone else, Lu Dong felt that it was impossible, but with Uncle Qi's words, no ghost would know what Uncle Qi would do.

Of course, no matter whether the background of the story is in the Northeast or Taidong, this is a veritable local drama.

The old street has now opened its south entrance, leading directly to the east-west main road in front of the village.

The east-west road in the village that used to lead to the old street has become a road that runs through the entire old village, which is the food street in the Lujia Village folk tourist area.

Lu Dong and Lu Zhenlin took Zhao Laogen and his party from the west to the east. The house in the east was a little newer because it was built late. On the side of Li's Hutong, several filming areas were also prepared for the crew. shoot.

A separate area circled here is a distance away from the houses rented to the evicted households of Zhangwan Village and Liuwan Village on the east side.

To help the county solve problems, Lujia Village will give priority to the relocated households in these two villages in terms of leasing and business.

There are a few relocated households who have no brains, and they also rented a house in the east of Lujia Village, planning to engage in farmhouse entertainment.

Then, come to the former old school of Lujia Village, now the Expo Hall of Lujia Village Folk Tourist Area.

The underground secret room is undergoing necessary reinforcement, and the house used as the exhibition hall is also being remodeled. Most of the things unearthed in the secret room have not been taken out yet. After just looking at it for a while, a group of people came to the big stage in front of the playground.

This large stage is made of stones with the back of the big screen wall, and there are various marks on it. If Lujia Village can finally reach a performance agreement with the Laogen Group, it will also carry out certain developments on the basis of protecting the existing buildings. Modern facilities.

Standing in front of the big stage, after Zhao Laogen discussed with the crew, Lu Dong talked to Zhao Laogen about holding a meeting, and Zhao Laogen proposed to put it on this big stage, opposite the stage is the old school The large playground is like many rural primary schools. When it was first built, the place was randomly surrounded. Although there is no standard runway of 400 meters, the area is not small at all.

The media meeting and meeting will be held together on the big stage.

As for the long-term cooperation between Lujiacun and Laogen Media, neither Lu Dong nor Zhao Laogen have mentioned it for the time being. Zhao Laogen's intention is very clear, and we will discuss it after the Lujiacun Folk Food Festival is held.

After all, this is not a big city, and no one can guarantee how popular it will be.

The people in Lujia Village are full of confidence, but others may not have confidence in their problems.

At noon, the county took care of Zhao Laogen and his party, and everyone went to Lujia Village for the meal in the evening, so Lujia Village was naturally in charge.

In the grand banquet hall of Sun Qinghai's hotel, several tables were set up, and the county leader in charge of publicity work rushed over.

While eating, Lu Dong discovered something. Uncle Seven came to the banquet hall and sat with Zhang Ji. The two people with completely different backgrounds actually got together very happily.

If you look at it this way, Uncle Qi and Zhang Ji have known each other for a long time.

Thinking about it carefully, it's not surprising that Zhang Jiben came from the countryside and had lived in the countryside for a long time, so he and Uncle Qi could find common topics.

The banquet is of course warm, and the atmosphere is naturally harmonious.

After dinner, seeing off the guests from the county and from afar, when Lu Dong was walking back, Uncle Seven followed.

When Lu Dong saw it, he knew that Uncle Qi had something to ask him: "What's the matter?"

"Let me drop by with you, okay? Our two families are next to each other!" Uncle Qi said the first sentence plausibly, and the second sentence revealed his true face: "It's a small matter that I want to discuss with you."
