Chapter 278 The theme song of the movie "Wrangler", horse pole? (Please order in full)
Xie Jin, who questioned Cheng Xuemin's poor horsemanship skills, finally saw how powerful Cheng Xuemin was.
After dismounting for a long time, Xie Jin breathed a long sigh of relief. He couldn't help but feel happy. Then he asked Cheng Xuemin, but he didn't see how he practiced riding. How could he ride so well?
Cheng Xuemin joked back to him, saying that he was a quick learner of everything, and that he grew up riding horses and bulls in their hometown.
Although not a war horse like today, a draft horse is still a horse.
This is barely perfunctory.
Now that they have learned Cheng Xuemin's horse riding skills, Uncle Xie Jin and the others no longer worry. In the next few days, they will film the big scene of the horse riding in the Qilian Mountains.
"How do you learn from the people? Can you handle our progress?"
"Don't resist!"
Because all the other actors' roles were basically done, only Cheng Xuemin, the male protagonist, was left, so the filming for more than a week was one scene after another, with other supporting actors taking turns to play opposite Cheng Xuemin, Xu Lingjun.
After another day of high-intensity shooting, Xie Jin was really afraid that this tough guy wouldn't be able to bear it, so he handed Cheng Xuemin a large piece of iced watermelon and asked with concern.
"It's okay, Director Xie. It's not like you don't know about my body. I really shouldn't be too relaxed like before at Wild Monkey Mountain!"
"Yeah, sweet!"
"If you want to eat watermelon, you have to get it from the stone cracks at the foot of the Qilian Mountains. It has plenty of sunshine, is juicy and sweet!"
Cheng Xuemin shook his head with Xie Jin and said, why can't you bear this intense progress?
On the other hand, I also took the watermelon handed over by Lao Xie and ate it in big gulps!
The cold and sweet juice enters the mouth. It really doesn't feel too good. Cheng Xuemin couldn't help but sigh.
"That's not true!"
"In Yanjing and Shanghai, if we want to eat watermelon, we have to go to the hospital to open a note, take the note to the warehouse, and receive it according to the share of each piece!"
"There is no place like this in the northwest, our country's watermelon supplier. There is no guarantee that watermelons can be eaten open!"
Xie Jin also held a large piece of watermelon, sat down next to Cheng Xuemin's buttocks, started eating a large piece of watermelon, and said with emotion.
"Yes! It's true that only here can you eat melon so happily!"
"When I was in Yanjing, I never bought watermelons like my family did!"
"The main reason is that it is difficult to issue a certificate and the procedures are too troublesome!"
Cheng Xuemin nodded. In this era, common seasonal fruits are actually very convenient to buy.
Only this watermelon is on the list of special medical drugs. It is a controlled fruit used as a fever-reducing medicine. It is not sold in ordinary supply and marketing cooperatives or department stores. Even overseas Chinese stores or friendship stores do not buy it.
Usually if you want to buy something, you have to go to the hospital with a certificate and open a note to get just one or two yuan.
Moreover, the one or two pieces of watermelon you buy cannot be taken home to eat. They must be eaten in the hospital in front of the doctor and given to patients with high fever. They are not allowed to be taken out of the hospital!
Don't believe it!
Watermelon in this era is such a weird thing. It is a controlled fruit. If you are not sick or have a fever, it is basically unrealistic for ordinary people to eat one or two pieces to satisfy your cravings.
Unless, like Cheng Xuemin and others, they buy directly from melon farmers in the watermelon planting base, then they must be able to eat freely as long as they have money.
"Isn't it?"
Xie Jin also nodded, really having the same emotion, and then said: "If the cultivation of watermelon can be scaled up on a large scale, the control may be relaxed!"
It may be that the speaker is unintentional but the listener is intentional. Cheng Xuemin also had an idea after hearing Lao Xie’s emotion!
yes!
Since you want to eat watermelon, why don’t you grow it yourself?
Cheng Xuemin lives in a courtyard house as big as Yanjing. The front and back yards are almost half an acre of land that is deserted. If he could bring some melon seeds back from here, he could plant them himself!
Moreover, Cheng Xuemin has the skills to build a greenhouse in his yard and set up a watermelon hybrid breeding experimental site.
When his watermelon seedlings are successfully hybridized, the watermelons he grows next year are guaranteed to have a bumper harvest and can be eaten openly.
Just do it as soon as you think of it. When I return to Yanjing this time, I will definitely bring a pack of watermelon seeds back to see if it works.
It should be easy.
After all, the cross-breeding of watermelon seedlings is no better than that of rice.
For hybrid rice, you must go to the rice fields and find the rice on the mother plant with huge ears as the mother seed for hybrid breeding.
But watermelon is different. What Cheng Xuemin wants is not its seedlessness, but its large size and high yield.
But the current Shikai watermelon is actually quite big. It’s just that the output has not kept up, so it is classified as a controlled fruit.
If Cheng Xuemin had tried to increase the yield through experiments, there would be no need to wait five or six years later. The country would spend a high price to introduce foreign watermelon seeds, increase the yield, and then slowly relax controls until all melons are popularized.
Therefore, if Cheng Xuemin cultivates melon seeds in advance, it will benefit ordinary people in advance, and they will have an extra fruit to relieve the heat in the summer.
Some people may think so. This is too nonsense and exaggeration. Isn't it fictitious? ?
Cheng Xuemin will definitely not dwell on this matter. He only needs to pay attention to the price of watermelon outside, and he can see it at a glance.
Don’t talk about it!
As for the Bangzi Country next door, if Cheng Xuemin remembers correctly, it was the highly developed era when he was reborn through time travel, and the citizens of Bangzi Country still had not achieved watermelon freedom.
A ten-pound watermelon in our country generally costs 20 to 30 yuan, but in Bangzi countries or island countries, it costs at least 300 to 400 yuan.
It is equivalent to one day's salary of a common worker in Bangzi country, so watermelon freedom cannot be achieved at all.
In other words, it is even more difficult to have free durian than we like to eat durian in China.
visible!
In this era of extreme material scarcity, watermelon, which is juicy and watery and a great tool for relieving summer heat, is listed as a controlled fruit. This is actually quite normal!
In this era, only patients with high fever and heat stroke are qualified to go to the hospital and eat a piece of watermelon to relieve their fever.
It is only natural that Cheng Xuemin wants to personally cultivate watermelon seedlings for the sake of watermelon freedom in the coming year.
After all, apart from growing it yourself, it is a scarce material that is hard to buy even if you have money.
"Xuemin, Zhu Lin's condition is not bad these two days. In a few weeks, our filming here will be completed!"
"But Xuemin, your scenes haven't been finished yet. When you return to Yanjing, you still have to reshoot several scenes with the old man!"
Xie Jin said to Cheng Xuemin while eating watermelon.
At the Chilechuan Ranch, everyone else's scenes have basically finished. Cheng Xuemin, the male protagonist Xu Lingjun's scene, will be finished within a week.
But back in Yanjing, Cheng Xuemin still had to reshoot several scenes.
Basically, it is the scene where Xu Lingjun, played by Cheng Xuemin, went to Yanjing to recognize his relatives at the invitation of Xu's father who returned to China to find his relatives.
These scenes basically involved the male protagonist Xu Lingjun, so they were not filmed when we were in Yanjing.
I have to wait for the filming to be completed here and then go back home to reshoot.
Once the reshoots for Yanjing's scenes are completed, it will be truly finalized, and the filming will begin with post-production editing and dubbing.
According to Xie Jin, I feel that the original voices of Cheng Xuemin and Zhu Lin are very smooth and clear. When the time comes, I hope that Cheng Xuemin will dub the male and female protagonists in person.
Regarding this, Cheng Xuemin will definitely work hard to the end. You’ve already filmed it, how can you still be missing out on dubbing? He must have acted in person, dubbing his own scenes.
This again reflects the shortcomings of filmmaking in this era. Even though the actors on the filming scene were speaking their lines with emotion, the filming crew only had one camera and could not record the lines at the same time!
You have to wait for the post-production process, where the dubbing actors will perform dubbing based on the mouth shapes of the actors in the picture.
certainly!
After the 21st century, although the filming team has advanced simultaneous sound recorders, the young actors can no longer speak their lines!
Basically, I am reading '123456', and I read as many lines as possible. It is completely dependent on the dubbing workers. Later, I will dub according to the numbers '12345'.
So it often happens that either the mouth shape doesn’t match, or the number of lines doesn’t match!
The actor in the picture only read '5', but there were six or seven characters in this line, which didn't match up at all.
Or maybe the actor on the screen still read '5', but the real line was only 'hello'!
If they don’t match up, they don’t match up at all. Oolongs like this really happen everywhere.
"Director Xie, after finishing filming here, I may have to take a detour back to my hometown to take my sister and her family to Yanjing, so it may be delayed for three to five days!"
Cheng Xuemin knew that Lao Xie was inoculating him in advance so that he could implement Cheng Xuemin's arrangements after the filming was completed here.
Lao Xie definitely hopes that after the filming here is completed, Cheng Xuemin can return to Yanjing with him, complete the reshoots of the Yanjing scenes as soon as possible, and then finish the filming wholeheartedly and disband the crew.
But after hearing what Cheng Xuemin said, it was just a detour to his hometown to take his sister and her family to Yanjing. Xie Jin felt relieved and said, "Xuemin, it's okay. It's okay to be delayed for three to five days. I'm afraid of you." Suddenly there are some arrangements, and I will be gone for a few months, then I will be worried! "
Xie Jin repeatedly waved his hands and said it was okay. In fact, he was really worried that Cheng Xuemin, a busy and capable man, would be temporarily transferred out for business by his superiors, and he would be gone for a few months!
Then Xie Jin would really be worried to death.
Fortunately, just taking a detour to return to my hometown and delaying it for three to five days will definitely be expensive.
"That's not it. In the next few days, I will be on the campus of Yenching University, where I can study for a few years with peace of mind and calm down my aggressive personality!"
"So, Director Xie, please come to Yanjing more often and see me!"
Cheng Xuemin also smiled and joked with Xie Jin.
"It's good to be a scholar! I heard from Jiazhao, Xuemin, did you do well in the college entrance examination this time?
You are also a distinguished lecturer at Yenching University, and you are also a new college student at Yenching University. You are both a student and a teacher. Xuemin, you are in a unique position. You are so awesome! "
Xie Jin then wiped another handful of watermelon juice on his mouth, patted Cheng Xuemin on the shoulder and laughed.
"No, no, Director Xie, you are so good at boasting, I'm really a little bit carried away when you say it!" Cheng Xuemin also smeared a mouthful of watermelon juice carelessly, it was really delicious.
It's a pity that I can't bring some back to Yanjing to give my daughter-in-law Feng Jiayou and her stinky son a taste, and I can't bring some back to my hometown of Chengjiawan to feed my parents at home.
Controlled fruits cannot be brought on the train.
Usually I have to be in the hospital and get one or two pieces in front of my face, which is not available on the market.
Otherwise, if you are caught, you will be labeled as a speculator.
Moreover, the nature of speculation is even worse for regulatory water monsters like Xigua. There is no need to take that risk if the gain outweighs the loss.
"By the way, Xuemin, I have one more thing to trouble you with!"
Xie Jin, who had already stood up to leave, suddenly stopped and turned around, mentioned something to Cheng Xuemin again, and said.
"Director Xie, if you have anything to say, as long as I can do it, it's no trouble. You're too polite!"
Cheng Xuemin threw the watermelon rind far into the stable, very accurately into the target stable, and then spoke to Xie Jin.
"Uh! They say that Xuemin, your marksmanship is accurate and you killed a lot of wild monkeys on the southern front. Now it's true!"
Visually, he was fifty or sixty meters away from the stable, but Cheng Xuemin threw him directly into the stable. Xie Jin couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and he gave a thumbs up in praise.
"It's all in the past, there's nothing to mention!" Cheng Xuemin waved his hands, feeling embarrassed.
But what he said was wrong. It was not that easy to get over the southern line, and there would be constant friction for the next ten years.
Especially in Laoshan in 1984, the level of fierce fighting was no less than the counterattack at the beginning of the year.
Therefore, Cheng Xuemin, a first-level combat hero, might be drafted again at any time if he was not protected. After all, in the past two months, the commander-in-chief was reluctant to release him at all costs.
"Then don't talk about it anymore!"
Xie Jin also waved his hands and stopped talking too much about this topic. Instead, he got back to the topic and said to Cheng Xuemin again:
"Xuemin, don't you also have two skills when writing songs? You wrote that song for the condolence performance on the southern front, and now it has spread to the Cichelechuan Ranch. I can hear the herdsmen singing it again!"
"And the song "Loess High Slope" you wrote for Yanhe Literature Lao Hu. Although I didn't hear it at the time, it must be good!"
"So I thought, our "Wrangler" is almost finished filming, and we still need a theme song!"
"Why don't you, Xuemin, take the trouble to compose a song for me?"
Okay, here you go for free prostitution again!
Previously, Lao Mo of Xiying Film Studio had prostituted himself for the theme song of "Loess High Slope" in front of Xie Jin, and he was considered to have been taken aback by Lao Xie.
Now, Cheng Xuemin has been assigned another task, and he has taken the time to write a theme song for "Wrangler"!
OK!
Nothing else works. For Cheng Xuemin, copying songs is just a casual thing.
Immediately, Cheng Xuemin agreed wholeheartedly and said, "Okay, thank you, Director. I'll rest assured about this and take the time to try to write a song!"
"But I can't guarantee whether it sounds good or not, I'll give it a try!"
"That's fine! They say that what you write, Xuemin, must be excellent, so I'm looking forward to it!" Xie Jin couldn't help but smile happily when he saw Cheng Xuemin readily agreeing.
Let Cheng Xuemin have a good rest, he still has a lot of scenes to catch up on tomorrow.
Compose the theme song for "Wrangler"?
Cheng Xuemin went through it in his mind and discovered that the original theme song of the "Wrangler" movie was actually the Chilechuan Ranch.
It is that classic ancient poem "Chile Song", which is just composed with a heavy melody.
but!
Since Xie Jindu asked Cheng Xuemin to ask for a song, if he directly used the ancient poem "Chile Song", it would seem that Cheng Xuemin was too perfunctory!
Therefore, I have to copy another tribute to Xie Jin.
Which one is it a tribute to?
Since it is the theme song of "Wrangler", it must fit the occasion!
Let Xie play "Horse Rod". I wonder if Lao Xie will strangle himself to death? !
…
Asking for a monthly ticket!
