Chapter 7 Your good days are over
What Zhou Yan didn't expect was that the crew of "Raise the Red Lantern" actually lived directly in the Qiao family compound.
Because "Raise the Red Lantern" and "Qiao Family Courtyard" have not been filmed yet, Qiao Family Courtyard is not famous. It is just one of many courtyards in western Shanxi Province, and it was once One of the puzzle pieces of the glory of Shanxi merchants.
The Qiao family courtyard has a history of more than 200 years. The entire courtyard is in the shape of a double happiness. There are a total of six courtyards, with 20 small courtyards inside, and a total of 331 houses.
This is what Liu Qing told Zhou Yan on the road. In fact, they only used courtyard No. 5 for filming, and the other five courtyards were not used.
Zhou Yan was assigned to a separate room. According to Liu Qing, this room was prepared for "other departments." The so-called other departments are non-live departments such as soundtrack, editing, color correction, screenwriting, etc. People from these departments There are actually quite a lot of them in total, but most of them don’t live on the set regularly, so we only prepare a room for them.
The room is not big, with four bunk beds. One of the lower bunks is already covered with mats, and there is also a neatly folded quilt.
Liu Qing smiled and introduced to Zhou Yan, "Teacher Ni Zhen came here a few days ago and stayed for three or four days."
Zhou Yan had heard of Ni Zhen and knew about Ni Zhen is the screenwriter of this drama, and he doesn’t know much else. He looked around the room and asked, "Are the other beds occupied?"
Liu Qing waved his hand, "No, except Teacher Ni’s bed cannot be moved. You can sleep on any of the other beds. Now this room is your private room, and I think you will be able to enjoy it for a long time.”
Zhou Yan smiled and said, "Then my treatment is quite good."
"No, okay, you clean up, I'll go see if there is any food in the kitchen." After saying that, Liu Qing turned around Gone.
Zhou Yan put down his luggage and cleaned the house briefly, then chose a bed. The beds were all new and could be laid with a mat by just wiping them.
When the bed was being made, Liu Qing came in with two bowls of noodles.
"Stop working and come over to have something to eat. We are lucky. The chef left some noodles tonight."
Zhou Yan took the noodle bowl with a smile, "It's a good thing I came with you, Brother Liu, otherwise I would have been really hungry."
"Ouch, it's trivial." Liu Qing waved his hand and took out a small bottle from his pocket. , asked Zhou Yan with a smile, "Would you like some?"
Although there was no label on the bottle, Zhou Yan knew that it was wine, and most of these bottles contained high-alcohol wine, so he refused with a smile. , "I can't come here, let me drink some soup."
"You kid will definitely live a long life in the future, don't smoke or drink."
Liu Qing joked, and first ate a garlic, then opened the wine bottle, raised his head and took a sip.
"Hey, Dejin."
Even though Zhou Yan doesn't usually drink, when he saw Liu Qing drinking so refreshingly, he had the illusion that the wine was delicious, but he knew that wine was really good when others drank it. It's so exciting, it's really hard to drink it when it's your turn to drink it.
The noodles are quite good. There is a full bowl of two-finger-wide pulled noodles, and it is also covered with a layer of sesame seeds. Although the sesame seeds are vegan, they look quite oily and make you appetizing. The only regret is that there is no spicy oil, otherwise this meal would be perfect.
In less than three minutes, the noodles and soup are ready.
Liu Qingguang was drinking and had only eaten two mouthfuls of noodles. He raised his eyes and looked at Zhou Yan, "It looks quite thin, but it is quite edible. Are you full?" "Hiccup~" Zhou Yan replied with a full burp. solved this problem.
......
The days on the set were much easier than Zhou Yan expected. The pre-production was still in the preparation stage, and he had no tasks. He just wandered around every day. I quickly got to know everyone on the set production team.
He is a handsome young man who smiles all day long. Not only is his eyes lively, but his mouth is as sweet as honey. There is no one in the crew who has not been praised by him, so everyone in the production team is I like him and love chatting with him.
During the day, Zhou Yan helps everywhere. At night, he returns to his single room and writes something when he has nothing to do.
Although he majored in composition and has now joined the crew, Mr. Lu Xun once said that eggs cannot be put in the same basket, so Zhou Yan had to make plans for his future.
He has studied carefully and found that most of the ways to get money are too far away from him. Copying some articles and publishing them may be the most practical way at this stage.
Since it is copying books, it is naturally very fast. A short story can be completed in one or two days, and a medium story can be completed in less than a week. Zhou Yan has been on the crew for a month and has published seven novels one after another. No reply.
In the second month, the set changed a lot. Not only did many behind-the-scenes staff come, but the first batch of actors were also about to arrive on site.
On the morning of July 19th, after Zhou Yan had breakfast, he ran to the threshold of the courtyard and sat on the threshold to enjoy the cool air. He had specially studied that in the entire No. 5 compound, the draft at the entrance was the windiest. , so he developed the habit of sitting on the threshold to enjoy the cool air.
For this reason, the big brothers and sisters in the scene production team gave Zhou Yan the nickname "Door God".
As soon as Zhou Yan sat down, he heard a clear voice.
“Hey, the doorkeeper started work so early today.”
Zhou Yan raised his head and saw the young woman standing in front of him with a bright smile, “Sister Feng, have you eaten yet? ?”
Sister Feng is not an honorific, but the young woman’s real name is Sister Feng. I heard she said that there is a younger sister in the family called Sister Feng. I don’t know if she is joking or if it is true. thing.
On the set, both young people like Zhou Yan and seniors from Big Brother also like to call her by her real name, Sister Feng.
Sister Feng lives up to her name. She is fast-paced and cheerful. She patted her belly and said with a smile, "I have almost finished digesting it. Don't sit here anymore. The director and his team will be here soon." Come here, sit here and block the trouble."
"Director?" Zhou Yan tilted his head and asked, "Which director, Director Zhang?"
"Nonsense, it's not Director Zhang. Or Director Li? In addition to Director Zhang, Gong Li and the others are also here. Oh, and the piano master, your happy life is coming to an end."
Zhou Yan said seriously, "Sister Feng, I can listen to you. I don’t understand, if Director Zhang and the piano master come over, then my happy days will really come. I am here to contribute my strength to the crew.”
Sister Feng chuckled and said, "It's useless to tell me if you're trying to mess with the world. You have to find an opportunity to tell Director Zhang. You have to slip Director Zhang's beard when you're sneaking around, and you have to pat Mr. Qiu's horse when you're filming. Okay, I won't follow you. I said, I still have something to do, and every time I chat with you, it takes up my time..."
Hearing Sister Feng's muttering, Zhou Yan shouted that he was wronged. It's obvious that you like to fuck with me, but you still Can you blame me?
