The Era of Hard Work

Just before dawn, the Qinghai Restaurant on the west side of Lujiacun New Village was busy. Sun Qinghai got up early to personally direct people to bring the little suckling pig that had just been delivered to the kitchen and prepare the roast suckling pig.

"Wen Bin, you bake it yourself!" Sun Qinghai sat on the kitchen chair vigorously: "This is going to be featured in newspapers and TV, it must be beautifully done, and it must not lose the name of our restaurant! "

Sun Wenbin took out a freshly slaughtered suckling pig, lighted a blowtorch to remove the hair, and asked his assistant to prepare the condiments.

In the kitchen, other people got busy one after another. Besides the suckling pig, there was also chicken.

This is specially made according to Zhao Laogen's request. In today's opening ceremony, there are two most important words that have the same pronunciation as chicken.

power on! Good luck!

Chinese people have always been very particular about these.

Other fruits will be delivered fresh in a while.

It's autumn now, I can't say anything else, there is no shortage of fruits.

Qinghai Hotel usually opens around ten o'clock, but today it opened before six o'clock.

Seeing his son and disciples busy for a while, Sun Qinghai came to the entrance of the hotel, moved a chair to sit down, and waited patiently.

All of this is worthwhile in his eyes, and it will make the restaurant more famous.

What's more, the crew is all paid in real money.

There was a car coming out of the new village on the opposite side. It was a pickup truck in the village. As soon as the car stopped, Li Wenyue got off the co-pilot.

"Uncle Hai." Li Wenyue came over with his mobile phone: "How are you preparing?"

Sun Qinghai pointed to the inside of the restaurant: "Wen Bin is busy with a few senior brothers. Come on, Wen Yue, sit down, hold your breath, you won't need it until ten o'clock, so come here so early."

Lu Tao, who was driving, also came down at this time, and moved the small table by the door. A waiter in the restaurant brought out the tea and put it on the small table.

"Taozi, Wen Yue, have you two eaten?" Sun Qinghai asked: "If you haven't eaten, there is still breakfast in the restaurant."

"have eaten."

The three drank water and talked.

Sun Qinghai said: "The people in this crew are not bad, they are very easy to get along with, and they are not as airy as the stars in the news reports."

Lu Tao answered with a smile: "Master Hai, don't you think about it. In the whole crew, except for Zhao Laogen, who are famous? If you didn't come to our village to film, would you know them?"

Sun Qinghai took a sip from his teacup: "That's right, they are basically unknown actors."

Li Wenyue said again: "It's mainly Zhao Laogen and the person in charge of his company who are stricter. A few days ago, a bald man broke something in the east of the village. Losing money, we confiscated it is true."

"I think Brother Dong is still in charge." Lu Tao thought about it and said, "The money is so much that it seems that people are different, isn't it?"

Sun Qinghai said: "There must be scruples in this regard. The hometown of a billionaire is still the hometown where he has always lived. Who doesn't give some face?"

He wanted to pour tea for the two of them, but when he saw Li Wenyue took the teapot first, he said, "Of course, our village is not bad either, these can hold people down."

Li Wenyue said, "I heard from sister Xu in the Dongzi Company, Xu Qin who also works as a media publicist in our village, said that the entertainment industry is very chaotic and can make troubles. If it weren't for our village's strength, we have Dongzi and Zhao. The old roots are pressing, these people may not be making a fuss."

Lu Tao asked curiously: "Brother Yue, do you know anything about the celebrity industry? Do you know any female celebrities?"

Li Wenyue said: "I just know one, the spokesperson of your sister-in-law Song Na's company." He thought for a while, and then said: "It seems that Uncle Qi has become very familiar with people from Zhao Laogen's side recently, you can ask Uncle Qi ask."

Lu Tao shook his head: "I don't have the skills of Uncle Seven. I can fool people one after another, and my music and singing are no worse than Zhao Laogen's apprentices."

Sun Qinghai is older than Lu Jianren and has seen more: "Your Seventh Uncle is a rare smart person in our village, but he can't calm down and concentrate on doing one thing. He always catches a bird today and tosses Huang Daxian tomorrow. He made a rabbit gun the day after tomorrow, and there are so many people who know how to do it, but there are very few who can really get into it and become an expert, wasting the capital that God gave him."

In his eyes, Lu Jianren belongs to the people who are rewarded by God for food. If he is a little more serious, he will be happy to make money, but he is not long-term, and he likes to mess around when he makes some money.

Sun Qinghai drank a cup of tea, and said: "If Lao Qi can study one or two things with peace of mind, he is probably better than Dongzi now. After all, Dongzi's messy skills are not taught by Lao Qi."

A few people were talking when they saw someone running out of the village across the road. It was a morning jog.

Lu Tao waved over there: "Brother Dong!"

Lu Dong over there waved his hand this way, without any intention of stopping, and ran to the south.

Sun Qinghai looked at Lu Dong's disappearing figure and said, "Lao Qi's ability, in fact, Dongzi has only learned a little bit, but what makes Dongzi better than Lao Qi is that he can do a good job with peace of mind and control himself. Extraordinarily self-disciplined."

Li Wenyue nodded agreeingly: "Dongzi was like a different person after the flood in 1998."

Sun Qinghai smiled: "If you are as rich as Dongzi, don't those who have nothing, just run in the morning, who of you can persist every day?"

Lu Tao scratched his head: "I'm not asking for guilt..."

Speaking of this, he understood that it is no problem to get up and go to work to earn money, but it is a bit difficult to really be like Brother Dong.

Lu Dong had breakfast, changed into formal clothes, and came to Sun Qinghai Hotel. After waiting for a while, Wang Xuming, Wei Yong, and Mu Kun all drove over.

Today they also came to join in the fun, especially Wang Xuming, who also wanted to get to know Zhao Laogen.

Then, the crew of the crew came to pull the tribute for the opening ceremony, and the group all went to the old village.

The opening ceremony was held in the old school, which is now the Lujia Village Customs Exhibition Hall.

Lu Dong found Zhao Laogen and introduced Mu Kun, Wei Yong, Wang Xuming and others to him.

The first two met Zhao Laogen, and Zhao Laogen also remembered that they helped to hype the Tibetan Mastiff together at that time, and more importantly, both of their families were well-known and rich in Taidong.

Wang Xuming liked Zhao Laogen very much, not only had a conversation, but also took a few group photos with Mu Kun.

Most of the crew came soon, and the county publicity department also sent Xia Dan to bring some staff over. In the past ten or so years, the crew who came to Qingzhao to shoot scenes can be counted with one slap.

As far as the TV series with Qingzhao as the main shooting location, there is nothing else except "Oriental Merchant" about Rui Fuxiang and Meng Luochuan.

But the TV series "Oriental Merchant", let alone people from other places, not many people in Qingzhao County remember it.

After all, Zhao Laogen's reputation is not in vain, and there is also the support of Triple Crown Film and Television, which is a subsidiary of Provincial Radio and Television.

The opening ceremony was placed on the big stage, and the big red banner had already been hung up.

"I wish the film crew of the TV series "Country Love" a good start!"

In front of the banner, there is an incense table with a layer of red velvet cloth on it, and the bronze-colored incense burner in the middle is simple and antique.

But Lu Dong knew that it was an antique made by Uncle Qi and Grandpa Zhenjia.

There is an old incense burner in Lujia Village, which is said to be very old, and it is in the columbarium.

However, it was used to offer incense to the ancestors of Lujia Village, so it must not be used for this purpose.

Lu Jianren and Lu Zhenjia made an imitation with a slightly different style.

On both sides of the censer, roast suckling pig, apples and bananas are placed on the right, and roast chicken, oranges and pomegranates are placed on the left.

The suckling pig is loud, and the roast chicken is golden. Just looking at the color alone, it makes people drool.

Facing the incense table, after a large video camera was set up, someone covered it with a red cloth.

When Lu Dong and his party came over, Lu Jianren was leaving with a brass statue of Guan Erye.

The bronze statue is not too big, so it can be carried by one person.

With Seventh Uncle, Lu Dong was not polite, and he didn't mean to reach out to help at all: "Seventh Uncle, why did you move back?"

Lu Jianren stopped: "Gang Wenyue's wife came to inform me that the county leaders would come over in a while, and the opening ceremony should be simpler, so don't engage in feudal superstition activities."

Zhao Laogen came over from the side and said, "It's okay, we don't want to worship this here, the crew over there in Hong Kong City do this."

Lu Dong understood the scruples involved, so he didn't say anything, and led the people to the front of the big stage.

But Wei Yong stopped: "Uncle Qi, this bronze statue is well cast, what's your craftsmanship?"

"Of course it's my craft!" Lu Jianren boasted, "Look at this craft, it can be counted in Taidong Province!"

It is true to say that it is his craftsmanship, after all, he participated in part of the casting work, although those fine links were all done by Lu Zhenjia.

Wei Yong looked at the golden-colored Guan Erye, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it: "Uncle Qi, can you sell it to me?"

Lu Jianren, who is so generous, stretched out his hand and gave the bronze statue to Wei Yong: "Take it, brother Dongzi, if you don't want money, I'll give it to you."

Wei Yong stretched out his hand to take it, but Lu Dong hurriedly said, "Uncle Qi, brother Wei is not so strong."

Lu Jianren quickly took it back: "I'll keep it first, and you can ask me for it later."

At ten o'clock in the morning, the opening ceremony of "Country Love" officially began. The county leaders came, and they must say a few words. Then Lu Zhenlin and Zhao Laogen spoke a few words on behalf of the investors and the crew.

Then, the leader withdrew first.

There are some things in the opening ceremony of the film crew, people who believe in it are very persistent, and some cutscenes will naturally have to go through again, the leader is not good here.

For example, the main creators of the crew will offer incense one by one.

These are all transmitted from Hong Kong City. The earliest domestic TV dramas and movies were made by public factories, so this set must not be done.

After the Hong Kong City set was passed on, just like the localization of food, there have also been adaptive changes.

For example, many production crews in Hong Kong City worship Guan Erye or Huang Daxian. It is said that it is because the film and television industry there is full of quackery and community atmosphere, and worshiping gods basically comes from the rules of the opera industry.

But here is an atheistic world, some things are not suitable, and localization improvement is a must.

The main actors of the crew and the heads of each department were incensed next to each other.

Then, Zhao Laogen and screenwriter Zhang Ji walked up to the camera, lifted the red cloth on the machine together, and announced that "Country Love" had officially started filming.

In the end, it was a group of people having a boot meal.
