Entertaining Children

? Since it is an actor, it involves the issue of schedule. Although the casting studio is still waiting for Xiao Yao to finalize the specific time in order to notify the actors to audition, but when contacting the other party in the early stage, Xiao Yao gave a rough audition time so that those actors can arrange time to come to the audition.

Because he didn't know the process and result of going to Hong Kong Island to invite Lin Jingliang, Xiao Yao gave an approximate audition time of within a week. Xiao Yao felt that one week might not be enough time to go to Northwest Shanxi to choose a scene, so the audition time had to be changed.

Xiao Yao is a person who does what he says. After deciding to go to the scene selection first, Xiao Yao immediately notified the casting studio to change the audition time. This time, Xiao Yao didn't set a frame for himself, only said that he would come back to audition after choosing the scene, and didn't estimate the audition time.

After being notified by the casting studio, Xiao Yao and Lin Jingliang were ready to go to Northwest Shanxi to cast a scene.

First, identify the members of the scouting team.

Director Xiao Yao and art director Lin Jingliang are definitely going. Pei Minyi has completed the performance modeling and costumes of the 101 girl group and returned from Hangzhou. Pei Minyi will definitely not miss the opportunity to travel and study with an aesthetic master like Lin Jingliang. Lin Jingliang is going to bring an assistant, and Xiao Yao is also going to bring Pei Minyi along.

The production company of this film is Xiao Yao's own company, and both the producer and producer are Xiao Yao. Xiao Yao himself is the investor, and the only investor, and Xiao Yao can make the final decision on the budget. However, once the shooting location is determined, it is inevitable to discuss and communicate with the local department or local people about the shooting. Xiao Yao didn't plan to come forward in person for this kind of thing, so he deliberately pulled Fang Yiran and two employees from the film and television company.

Then, it’s time to choose the location to inspect. Xiao Yao's envisioned shooting location should be a remote area with high altitude, drought and little rain. The selected shooting location is the Northwest of Shanxi, but the area of ​​Northwest Shanxi is also very large, so it is still necessary to select several specific target locations.

Xiao Yao felt that the location of the movie "Donkey Gets Water" in his previous life looked very good. It should be a good choice to shoot his movie in the same place. Xiao Yao remembered reading reports on the Internet in his previous life that the movie "Donkey Gets Water" was filmed in a place near Shuozhou City, Jin Province, near the Qingshui River area in Inner Mongolia. The exact location is unclear, so Xiao Yao planned to go I found a place in Shuozhou City adjacent to the Qingshui River area in Inner Mongolia.

The shooting location must be found by driving, but Shencheng is located in the southeast, and the shooting location is far in the northwest. Xiao Yao does not plan to drive all the way from Shencheng to the northwest. He must take a plane first, and then go to the airport. Rent a car or charter a local car.

The target city, Shuozhou City, is located in the northwest of Shanxi Province. However, Shuozhou City currently does not have a civilian airport, and not many cities in Jin Province have airports. If it is adjacent to the Qingshuihe area of ​​Inner Mongolia,

On the contrary, it is closer to the airport in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia, so the group departs from Shencheng by plane, and the destination is not Jin Province, but Hohhot in Inner Mongolia.

After arriving in Hohhot, Xiao Yao, who led the team, didn't make any stops. A group of seven rented two cars and drove southward all the way to Qingshuihe County in Inner Mongolia.

Hushi is more than 120 kilometers away from Qingshuihe County, and the group drove for more than two hours to arrive. After arriving in Qingshuihe County, Xiao Yao found a hotel that seemed to be pretty good to stay in, and announced that he would rest today and go to the countryside to choose a scene tomorrow.

Inner Mongolia is a good place, and several of these people are here for the first time. Everyone was very happy to hear that Xiao Yao announced that he would take a break and set off to choose a scene tomorrow. Although there is no grassland in the county, it is a place of ethnic minorities after all, and everyone ran out enthusiastically to experience the exotic customs of this small county in the ethnic minority area.

Xiao Yao also came to Qingshuihe County for the first time, but he didn't go out to hang out to feel the exotic atmosphere, because he still had tasks on his body.

Relying on the information in the memory of the previous life, this is the closest place Xiao Yao can go to the filming location of the movie in the previous life. Going further down, Xiao Yao was a little bit blind, so he had to find a guide in the county town who was familiar with the surrounding area, and take them out for a run tomorrow.

Of course, Xiao Yao can leave things like finding a guide to Fang Yiran, Pei Minyi, or someone brought by the company. However, Xiao Yao brought everyone to this place. Everyone here is unfamiliar with the place of life. Come.

In addition, in addition to being the director and producer, Xiao Yao also has to play the role of the coppersmith in the movie. Xiao Yao also wants to take this opportunity to solve some problems that need to be solved for playing this role.

The biggest difference between the role of coppersmith and Xiao Yao himself is the problem of skin color, which Xiao Yao can solve through some technical means such as tanning and makeup before the filming starts. In addition, there is another problem that Xiao Yao needs to face It's a language problem. The role of the coppersmith can speak Mongolian, and a Mongolian song was sung in the film. Although Xiao Yao knows many languages, Mongolian is not included.

Xiao Yao originally wanted to ask Hong Wei to help solve this problem.

Hong Wei was born in a Tibetan area and is a Tibetan and a minority. As an ethnic minority, she has also been committed to promoting the music of ethnic minorities. And she not only likes and often performs music of ethnic minorities, but also often supports and helps young singers of ethnic minorities. When Xiao Yao helped Jiang Kailin prepare to perform "A Diao" on "Singer", the Tibetan singer who helped Jiang Kailin sing harmony was introduced by Hong Wei.

Hong Wei is a Tibetan, but what she knows and contacts is not just Tibetan music and Tibetan singers. She once sang Mongolian songs on the stage of "Singer". She can speak Mongolian and knows some Mongolian singers. When Xiao Yao wanted to learn Mongolian and Mongolian songs, Hong Wei was the first thing he thought of.

But now that he has come to Inner Mongolia this time, Xiao Yao wants to take this opportunity to solve the language problem as well. Therefore, the guide Xiao Yao is looking for needs to be familiar with the surrounding areas including some inter-provincial areas of Jin Province, and who can take them to see the scenery and choose a scene. It is best to know Mongolian and teach Xiao Yao a suitable traditional Mongolian song. people.

Of course, if this person happens to be a coppersmith, or knows how to do coppersmith's work, and can teach Xiao Yao some coppersmith's craft, that would be the best. However, the coppersmith in the movie is more of a title or name, and there are not many places where you can actually do coppersmith work, that is, to play with and repair the clock in the school, as long as the movement of holding tools is not a layman. With the skills he learned when he learned how to make hand dishes from others, Xiao Yao felt that this aspect should be enough for him, so it doesn't matter whether he learns the coppersmith's job or not.

When he came to such a strange place, Xiao Yao's eyes were almost darkened, and he didn't know where to find the guide. However, he didn't know the locals, but he could get to know the locals. As he often travels, he knows that people like hotel owners are generally well-informed people who are familiar with local conditions.

The hotel where Xiao Yao and his party lived was not big, and Xiao Yao could tell at a glance that the person who came out to the front desk to check them in was the owner of the hotel.

If you just ask about a place to eat or where there are interesting places, as a resident, just ask casually, and the boss will give you enthusiastic advice. But if he wants the boss to introduce them or even contact a reliable guide who can take them out and run around, Xiao Yao has to spend more time and communicate with them.

The owner of the hotel is a dark-skinned middle-aged man with yellowed nails and teeth. There are cigarettes and ashtrays on the table at the reception desk, and he looks like an old smoker. When everyone else went out to hang out in the county town, Xiao Yao bought a pack of cigarettes in the small shop downstairs of the hotel, handed one to the boss, and chatted with the boss.

The owner of the hotel speaks standard Chinese, but not very fluent, and looks like a minority. Xiao Yao doesn't think that the so-called simplicity of ethnic minorities applies to everyone, but judging from the performance of the hotel owner's words and deeds, Xiao Yao thinks it is quite reliable.

Hearing that Xiao Yao said that he was a film director and wanted to find a suitable place nearby to shoot a film, the hotel owner immediately expressed his disbelief on his face, saying that Xiao Yao was just joking and making fun of him.

Looking at the hotel owner who obviously didn't know him, Xiao Yao once again felt a little sad about his fame and popularity.

Since the hotel owner didn't believe it, Xiao Yao didn't intend to tell others about who he was. The owner of the hotel didn't believe in him because he thought he was too young to be a director. I am young, but there are still not young people in their group.

Lin Jingliang has been to Inner Mongolia before. On the way from Hohhot to Qingshuihe County, Lin Jingliang, who was in the same car with Xiao Yao, looked at the scenery along the way with great interest, but after entering the county, Lin Jingliang's enthusiasm obviously dissipated a lot. The others went out to hang out, but Lin Jingliang didn't go out, and stayed in the room thinking about the art plan in the movie.

Xiao Yao saw that the owner of the hotel didn't believe that he was a film director, so he changed his words and said that he was the director's assistant and helped the director with work. He only said that he was the director for the sake of convenience and face. Then he went upstairs and pulled Lin Jingliang down, saying that Lin Jingliang was the director, and asked Lin Jingliang to confirm his statement.

When he went upstairs to find Lin Jingliang, Xiao Yao explained the situation to Lin Jingliang. After going downstairs to see the hotel owner, Lin Jingliang smiled and handed the hotel owner a cigarette, saying that he was the director, and the task he gave to Xiao Yao was to find a guide to take them to see the surrounding environment and choose the scene for the filming. As a director, I have a lot of things to do, so I leave this kind of trivial work to young people, and ask the hotel owner for help. As long as it is what Xiao Yao promised, he will definitely fulfill it. After speaking, he bid farewell to the hotel owner, and went back to the upstairs room to think about art proposals.

Lin Jingliang's age, style, and his Hong Kong accent make him look like a director in the eyes of the hotel owner. After hearing what Lin Jingliang said, the hotel owner believed Xiao Yao's words. As for being familiar with the nearby guides, the hotel owner really knows that there are suitable locals who can act as guides.

The hotel owner is also a cheerful person. After agreeing to help, he immediately contacted two locals who can speak Mongolian to meet and communicate with Xiao Yao.

The two arrived soon, and Xiao Yao chatted with them in the lobby of the hotel. He told the two about his environmental requirements for the shooting location, listened to their introduction of possible suitable places, and listened to their introduction to the environment of the surrounding area. Xiao Yao chose a young man who looked very strong, and told him It was agreed to be a guide to take them out to find the shooting location tomorrow, and the departure time was agreed on tomorrow.

The price issue was negotiated on the spot, and Xiao Yao also prepaid 20% in advance as a deposit. In this kind of matter, Xiao Yao doesn't care too much about being slaughtered by the locals. After all, the road is probably not too easy, and people should earn some hard money.

Xiao Yao is more concerned about safety issues, which is one of the reasons why Xiao Yao chose to ask the hotel owner to introduce the guide. After all, there is a store here, in case something happens, even if you can't find the guide, the hotel owner can't escape. For possible safety issues, Xiao Yao imagined that the worst situation would be to be taken to a remote place for robbery. With two cars in his own party, seven people, five men and two women, and his strength and on-the-spot reaction can definitely handle ordinary bad guys, plus an introducer who owns real estate, Xiao Yao thinks it should be enough.

After finishing the guide, Xiao Yao went upstairs to see Lin Jingliang. Finding that he was still thinking about the film art project and had no intention of going out, Xiao Yao went out for a stroll by himself.

I sent everyone out to play, and didn't eat dinner together. But this time I came out to do business, and the place was relatively unfamiliar, and everyone didn't play very late. They all returned to the hotel early to rest and recharge their batteries for tomorrow.

Early the next morning, the Mongolian boy named Alatan that Xiao Yao had promised yesterday came to the hotel on time to meet Xiao Yao and the others. Xiao Yao introduced Alatan to everyone, and a group of people got in the car and set off.

Qingshuihe County is a county seat adjacent to Jin Province. From the map, most of the east and south sides of the county are basically pressing the provincial line. When you leave Qingshuihe County in these two directions, you basically enter the boundary of Jin Province. . Xiao Yao remembered that the filming location in his previous life belonged to Shuozhou City, Jin Province, so he asked Alatan to take them all the way to the east. Don’t look at the place that belongs to the Qingshuihe County boundary, just follow the provincial line to the east. Towns and villages all the way through.

After the group left Qingshuihe County to the east and entered the boundary of Jin Province, Alatan felt that the environment in several villages in Gaoshizhuang Township to the north might be more suitable, so he directed everyone to turn to the north.

Both Inner Mongolia and Jin provinces are in the northwest region. The border between the two provinces has many mountains, and the roads in the countryside below are not very easy to walk. But fortunately, the two cars of Xiao Yao and others were good, and after entering the village, Alatan took everyone to look at each village, and everyone stopped and looked, and it didn't feel too uncomfortable.

In one day, Alatan took everyone to five or six villages and looked at seven or eight places, but they couldn't find any place that satisfied Xiao Yao and Lin Jingliang. However, neither Xiao Yao nor Lin Jingliang expected to find their favorite filming location on the first day after they came out. They both had a good attitude, and Xiao Yao even had the intention to learn some Mongolian from Alatan.

Turning to the evening, everyone saw that it was getting dark, so they set off and returned to Qingshuihe County, planning to continue tomorrow.
