Guizhou has a good reputation as "the land is not three feet flat, the sky is not sunny for three days, and the people are not worth three cents of silver".
It can be seen that the natural conditions here are harsh and life is difficult.
In the 1960s and 1970s, the country shouted a slogan called...
"Be prepared for war and prepare for famine for the people, and good people will be on the third front".
As a result, a massive campaign to support third-line construction was launched in some southern regions, led by Guizhou.
Countless intellectuals, workers, teachers, and doctors all left their homes, responded to the call, and went to other places to spend their youth.
And this grand plan to support the third front is actually a helpless move under the threat of the red iron curtain of the northern power.
At that time, the country even made plans to annihilate the entire north.
The premise of the story of "Green Red" takes place in this context.
“Hi!”
Zhao Xueyuan stayed in the imperial capital to study driving and get her driver's license and did not follow him to the set.
Zhang Yuan could only push his luggage by himself and arrived at a suburban mining machinery factory near GY City, the capital of Guizhou.
“Imported goods are different.” Zhang Yuan pushed the expensive suitcase given by Sister Meng Guangmei and muttered as he walked.
At this moment, not far from the front, a clear and cheerful female voice suddenly came.
"Who..." He raised his head and looked from a distance, and found a tall and thin figure waving his arms, walking towards him.
It can be felt that this person's steps are brisk and his whole state is very relaxed.
“Long time no see!”
Gao Yuanyuan stopped one meter in front of him, flashed her eyes, and kept looking at the man in front of her.
"Well, we haven't seen each other for two years."
"Absolutely."
He seems to be more handsome and handsome than before. Is there anything a man can say about himself?
Gao Yuanyuan found that Zhang Yuan's temperament was slightly different from before, and seemed to be sharper.
Quick... Zhang Yuan hugged the other party.
“Ah!” Gao Yuanyuan exclaimed.
Zhang Yuan gently patted the other party's back twice, then let go of his arm.
"You hugged me like this when we said goodbye last time, and I'm giving it back to you now."
"Hehehehe..." Gao Yuanyuan recovered from the surprise, then covered her mouth and laughed.
He still remembered the way he said goodbye... Hearing this, Zhou Zhiruo felt a sweet joy in his heart.
“I often see you on TV.”
The two of them were talking as they walked.
"Really? I often see you on TV." Zhang Yuan replied.
"I was too busy before. I had the opportunity to star in "The Best in the World". I heard that you were on that crew."
"Well, it's a pity. If you wanted to come, , it’s definitely more interesting.”
Zhang Yuan said while observing Gao Yuanyuan.
Well, time flies by.
We haven’t seen him for two years. This person’s cheeks have obviously lost a lot of weight. I don’t know if he lost weight for the filming.
Gao Yuanyuan is a "resident guest" in the future Tiger Fight Goddess Competition. She has been runner-up for four consecutive years and won the championship for the fifth time, which is enough to prove her appearance, strength and popularity among the audience.
Those who suppressed her in the first four sessions were all masters.
Jia Jingwen, Qiu Shuzhen, Tong Liya, Liu Qianqian...
And she and Qianqian actually look like the family next door.
It's just that Sissi is a cute little girl, and she is a bright green plum.
Sissi's facial features are all on the small side, but she is just the opposite, her facial features are very grand.
"By the way, how is your arm?" Gao Yuanyuan suddenly asked.
"Ah... I'm fine now. The scars are all faded." Zhang Yuan raised his left side and saw a shallow, long scar on the inside of his wrist.
This is the mark of scratches she received when she was on the set of "The Heaven Sword and the Dragon Slayer", helping her to block flying broken sword fragments.
Gao Yuanyuan carefully touched it with her fingers, recalling the thrill at that time.
"Thanks to you for reacting quickly, otherwise I would have been disfigured."
"It's okay, you look good no matter what." Zhang Yuan replied habitually.
"Hahaha... You have such a sweet mouth, you wouldn't say that to all girls." Gao Yuanyuan blinked her big eyes and looked at him.
"I'm just telling the truth." Zhang Yuan replied seriously.
In the Chinese entertainment industry these days, there are indeed few people who are more beautiful than her.
"Huh, I don't believe it." Gao Yuanyuan raised her head, then looked at him sideways: "By the way, where are the two young girls who came to visit the class back then."
"They He’s grown up now.”
Fuck.
You have such a good memory.
When filming "Eternal Dragon Sword", Shu Chang and Xixi came to visit the class and play.
Especially Liu Qianqian, when she showed up, even Gao Yuanyuan said that there are still masters.
There is no way, no matter how beautiful a woman is, she cannot resist age. Liu Qianqian is eight years younger than her, so it is normal to feel a sense of crisis.
“I have grown up a lot.” Zhang Yuan replied calmly: “I have collaborated with them two more times.”
“They are still martial arts films.”
Zhang Yuan thought for a moment and then spoke again: "It's very tiring to film with them."
"It's more relaxing to film with you."
He's not talking nonsense, singing Qianxi with Shu We were filming together, whether it was a bearded job or the unfortunate thing of climbing a snow-capped mountain in "The Secret of the City", how could we not be tired?
In comparison, "The Story of Heaven and the Dragon Sword" is really easy.
Zhang Yuan never lies completely, only half-truths and half-falsehoods.
"Well, hehehe..." Gao Yuanyuan smiled brightly when she heard what he said.
Look, what does the little girl know? It would be more pleasant to get along with me...she thought.
"I'll take you to meet the director." The two of them came near the crew.
"Director Xiaoshuai... Anyway, you have a good chat with him."
Seeing her hesitant expression, Zhang Yuan knew what was going on.
"Hello, Director Wang."
"Oh, hello, you're here."
Arrived in front of a middle-aged man with a round head and squinting eyes, Zhang Yuan bowed He stood up and said hello to Wang Xiaoshuai who was sitting on the director's chair.
The other party responded with a smile, but did not stand up to welcome him.
Zhang Yuan understood the reason why Gao Yuanyuan was hesitant to speak. The director obviously had a problem with him.
"It's okay, I will put in a good word for you." After saying hello, Gao Yuanyuan came to the side and whispered.
“The director is not a bad person, the main reason is that he is impatient.”
What exactly is going on?
This film was approved in the first quarter of last year and was invested by SMI.
At that time, in order to ask for leave from the "Sword and Fairy" crew for Sissi, Liu Xiaoli went to film "Love in May" halfway, so she took out "Green and Red" to exchange resources with him.
The film was originally planned to start shooting at the end of last year.
But I have been putting it off until now just to wait for him as the leading actor!
In the autumn of last year, Director Wang repeatedly proposed that Li Bing, who had worked with Gao Yuanyuan and whom he himself had used several times, be used as the male lead.
But Xingmei rejected it.
Later, when the left and the right didn’t come, Director Wang went to ask Xingmei if he could change someone else, otherwise it wouldn’t be a problem to keep delaying.
Xingmei hesitated at first.
Although Liu Qianqian’s first manager Liu Yonghui went to Xingmei to become the boss, Liu Xiaoli kept her promise and kept helping him.
But he couldn't make up the schedule, and the other party was worried.
Originally, I discussed with Liu Xiaoli whether to cooperate with this young man again in the future.
But they are still hesitating, something happened on the other side of "Little Fish and Flowers"!
Then, when Xingmei saw that his reputation was getting bigger and bigger, she didn't hesitate.
I'm even a little afraid that he won't come.
After all, this is a literary film and the pay is small.
After repeatedly confirming that he would definitely come, Wang Xiaoshuai was asked to wait.
Moreover, Zhang Yuan did not raise the price on the ground, and still only received the 200,000 yuan agreed upon at the time.
Xingmei estimated that Zhang Yuan's current film salary should be more than ten times that, so she felt that he was very smart and was more willing to wait for him.
The investors have spoken, what else can Director Wang do?
Just hold it in.
Wang Xiaoshuai thought, I have made many movies and won the Silver Bear Award at Cannes, so I am considered a famous director.
You asked me to wait for several months for a young actor?
But Xingmei had different considerations from him.
The film "Green Red" is somewhat of a painful literature, and it was adapted by Wang Xiaoshuai based on his own life experience.
The heroine Qinghong in the film, her parents are a couple who came to Guizhou from Shanghai to support the third front line.
Qinghong’s father has been seeking the opportunity to return to the Magic City throughout his life.
He wanted his daughter to return to life in a big city and stop spending her youth in poverty-stricken ravines like himself.
Wang Xiaoshuai's own parents are from Modu who support the third line.
Although Magic City is known as a gathering place for "refined egoists" on the Internet.
When it comes to Magic City, many people sneer at it.
But at that time, a total of 1.5 million people from Magic City went to various places to provide third-line support, and this did not include family members.
What is the total population of this city?
Therefore, some things cannot be viewed one-sidedly. Wang Xiaoshuai's parents are one of them. When he was two months old, he came to Guiyang with his parents.
Relying on his talent and connections, he entered the Middle School Affiliated to the Central Academy of Fine Arts, and then entered Nortel, returning to a first-tier city.
But most people like his parents and him can never go back.
A grain of sand of the times becomes a big mountain when it falls on everyone's shoulders.
Supporting the third line is honorable, but also very hard.
At the same time, not everyone is willing.
Even if it is voluntary, not everyone regrets it.
Not to mention anything else, the fact that high school students in the Magic City and Imperial City get out of school at five o'clock is something that many students in second and third tier cities would not envy.
Not to mention the extremely rich educational resources and job opportunities in first-tier cities.
After coming to the third-line construction, I saw the gap between my own life and the life of my children and that of my relatives back home getting wider and wider.
At this time, there are still a few people who are not worried.
This is a natural contradiction between collective interests and personal interests, which cannot be explained by simple right and wrong.
Because this was adapted by Wang Xiaoshuai based on his own life, he actually wanted to make this film, not Xingmei.
As an investor, Xingmei must be concerned about income.
And this kind of movie about the negative impact of national policies is destined to be impossible to be released in mainland China.
So the way this film makes money is simply to appear at overseas international awards and then sell copyrights and CDs around the world.
CDs can also be sold in mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan.
The presence of Zhang Yuan and Gao Yuanyuan, the old partners of Zhou Zhiruo and Song Qingshu, can add some selling points.
In this case, Xingmei needs Zhang Yuan to participate even more.
In fact, there is another reason why Wang Xiaoshuai is unhappy with Zhang Yuan.
After learning that the film was continuously postponed because of Zhang Yuan, Gao Yuanyuan has been putting in good words for him.
“He is very good.”
“I have worked with him.”
“His image, temperament, and professional attitude are very good...”
Wang Xiaoshuai felt very uncomfortable after hearing this.
While filming "Seventeen Years Old Bicycle", Wang Xiaoshuai came into contact with Gao Yuanyuan for the first time.
Just like Teng Wenji saw Yuan Quan for the first time.
Oops!
That is a shocking person.
Gao Yuanyuan was the one who received ten love letters a day when she was in school. Don't you understand this?
Goddess Gao knows very well that what is not available is the best.
This is how Director Wang was approached, sometimes near and sometimes far, and he was seduced by everyone he wanted.
This is called "a wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as a maid, a maid is not as good as a prostitute, and a prostitute is not as good as a thief."
To steal is worse than not being able to steal.
What is white moonlight?
People who have sex together every day are not called Bai Yueguang.
What is unavailable and intangible is called Bai Yueguang.
It would be better to die young, that would be even more extraordinary.
I always say that another young actor is good when I don’t get it.
When I look at the photo, my mother looks quite handsome.
Director Wang felt very uncomfortable.
"Director Wang, is that our hero?" At this moment, a young man with parted hair came to Wang Xiaoshuai's side.
"Yes."
"What a grand ceremony, waiting so long for him." The young man also said unhappily.
This person is Qin Hao, who will become famous in the future.
He plays the second male lead in the film.
This is a member of the famous Chinese Opera Class 96. He is a classmate with Zhang Ziyi, Qin Hailu, Zeng Li, Hu Jing and Liu Ye.
However, among this magical lineup, Qin Hao was the number one in his major when he entered school.
And when Zhang Ziyi, Liu Ye and the others were scratching their hair all day long and crying in the quilt because they couldn't hand in their acting homework.
This guy does everything easily and easily.
Just like this, how can he not be arrogant?
He is so awesome!
Oh, these guys who were far inferior to me in school and had to help me with their homework have all ended up like this.
Then I am better than them, why don’t I rush to become an actor as soon as I graduate?
Then, he realized what it means to have character determine your destiny, and what it means to drive high and go low.
If he thinks he is awesome, then he must be picky about the script.
If it’s not a starring role, I won’t go.
If it’s not profound, don’t.
TV series...what the hell, I make movies!
Commercial film?
I have artistic pursuits!
In college, this guy had long rock and roll hair and was an angry young man.
In the first year after graduation, I turned down eight plays.
Look, I am so popular and how many people are looking for me.
Three films were rejected the following year.
If you don’t want to take a picture, don’t take a picture. If you don’t like it, don’t take a picture.
In the third year, no one looked for him.
Occasionally, I get a call asking him if he is still filming and if he has changed his career.
This person committed suicide for himself.
Finally, I received a call from Wang Xiaoshuai and asked him to play "Green Red".
This guy knew that there were not many opportunities now, so he prepared seriously for a long time.
After waiting for several months, there was nothing more to come.
He also thought that the crew didn't want him anymore, so he panicked and called Director Wang.
That’s when I realized that the entire crew was waiting for the lead actor’s schedule!
Who?
Who is so awesome?
After asking, I found out that he was a young man who had graduated from a non-professional college and had suddenly become popular in the past two years. He was a few years younger than him.
When this man heard this, his arrogance grew again.
Of course I feel uncomfortable.
Zhang Yuan didn't know what he was thinking, so he was led by Gao Yuanyuan to greet other actors.
There are only a few actors in this small crew, but we got to know each other very quickly.
"Hello, hello." Teacher Yao Anlian, who plays Qinghong's father, is from Shanghai.
Wang Xiaoshuai specifically sought out actors from Magic City in order to restore the image of his parents in his heart.
Unlike the director and Qin Hao, this person was particularly enthusiastic when he saw Zhang Yuan.
"Hello, Teacher Yao, I have long admired your name." Zhang Yuanke said politely.
And Zhang Yuan will soon know why he is so enthusiastic about him.
"Cheng Hao called me specifically before and asked me to take care of you." Teacher Yao patted his shoulder and said.
Zhang Yuan: ...
Done!
I forgot, Yao Anlian acted in "Pink Girl"!
He is very familiar with Cheng Hao.
Why did Zhang Yuan let Zhao Yuanxu stay in the imperial capital to learn driving?
First of all, the conditions of this crew are difficult and there is no budget for actor assistants.
He has to pay for the food and lodging himself.
Secondly.
Zhang Yuan glanced at Gao Yuanyuan aside.
I have eaten it all, Zhao Min, and kissed Zhuer, so Zhou Zhiruo can’t let it go.
The light bulb was specially cleaned.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Hao reached out his hand.
"This woman is too smart, but there are disadvantages..."
The two of them only competed with each other all day long.
"Hao Cheng..." Gao Yuanyuan narrowed her eyes.
"That heartthrob Cheng Hao?"
"Yes, yes." Yao Anlian nodded immediately. He admired this junior very much at that time and thought he was beautiful and smart. He would definitely become a success. event.
"What's your relationship with her?" Gao Yuanyuan turned to look at him and asked in a deep voice.
"She and I..." Zhang Yuangang wanted to explain, but Teacher Yao was quick to talk.
“Tsk, what kind of relationship can a handsome man and a beautiful woman have?”
“A perfect match!”
Zhang Yuan:…
Good guy, I’ve just come to the set, but it’s okay for you to even take the blame for me.
Could it be that Zhiruo is leaving me again?
But he didn't realize that after Gao Yuanyuan heard that he and Cheng Hao were a couple, not only did she not feel sad, but her eyes dimmed.
On the contrary, I feel more energetic!
Even in those eyes, there was a trace of long-suppressed desire and a fiery little flame that refused to admit defeat... (End of this chapter)
