I'm serious about making money

172 The Donkey Gets Water on Dahebao

In July, Jiang Yu brought the crew to Shuozhou, Jin Province.

At the junction of Jin Province and Inner Mongolia, there is a place called Dahebao.

The reason why it is called "Fort" is because it is located on a high ground and built along the river. In the 13th year of Chongzhen, the Ming Dynasty built the Great Wall here to defend against foreign enemies.

Although it has been abandoned for many years now, traces of the ancient Great Wall still exist tenaciously.

"This mound used to be an urn city. Do you know what an urn city is? It means building another city outside the city gate. The enemy broke through a gate, and there is another gate inside."

The local fellow enthusiastically introduced to Jiang Yu, "And those piers over there, don't look at how tall they are now, with grass growing, they used to be beacon towers..."

Jiang Yu pulled the weeds from the ground, and said with a smile, "Aren't these all pricks? How can you tell them apart so clearly?"

"Can I not tell the difference? I grew up here since I was a child. Look, there are still words here." It’s a plaque on the old barn.”

Jiang Yu squatted down and took a closer look. Although it was severely weathered, the engraved "Golden Soup Forever" was still faintly discernible.

This is history, Jiang Yu was amazed.

Things from hundreds of years ago, passing through the great river of time, just lie here quietly, no one cares about them.

The villager's surname is Yang, and he is the last family in Dahebao. The transportation in the fort is inconvenient, and the farmers all moved down the mountain to live.

He refused to move, and patrolled along the Great Wall whenever he had time.

No one gave him money, and no one cared about him. He himself didn't know what he was doing it for, but there was a strange sense of responsibility that drove him to stay here and guard these dilapidated monuments.

Today's Dahe Castle is sparsely populated, the grass is overgrown, the sky is high and the clouds are light, and there is a sense of loneliness.

Qin Hailu stood up, looked around, and suddenly pointed to the front and shouted: "Look, there is a wind turbine over there."

Jiang Yu also stood up and looked into the distance. Sure enough, there were rows of white wind turbines spinning in the distance.

In front of the generator is the ancient Ming Great Wall.

History and modernity suddenly blend together at this moment.

"It's so nice here," Qin Hailu stretched out comfortably, and said with a smile, "It's a wonderful feeling."

Although "Donkey Gets Water" has not yet started, she has a hunch that they will make a very interesting movie here.

Jiang Yu said: "The scenery here is so beautiful, if there is a tourist attraction, people will definitely come."

The fellow waved his hand, "The traffic here is too far away, all the young people have gone to the city, and we old guys are left. No one will come to travel."

"Then it depends on our Jiang Da director," Qin Hailu said teasingly, "If our movie becomes popular, maybe someone will come for their feelings."

Feelings are a very wonderful thing. After "Wulin Biography" became popular, I don't know how many people ran to Feilong Valley for nothing, just to see if Tongfu Inn is still there.

After "33 Days of Broken Love" became popular, it also brought a group of girls to the Oriental Xintiandi to check in, waiting for the fountain to rise at night, and kissing with her boyfriend.

Seriously, where kissing is not acceptable, why do you have to go in front of the fountain?

But that's called romance.

After the farmers on the fort moved away, there were quite a few empty cave dwellings left behind, one of which was the largest, with the highest terrain and the most open surroundings.

According to the villagers, the cave dwelling has been around for quite some time, and it was a temple built by a landlord in the late Qing Dynasty. After liberation, it was changed into Dahebao Primary School.

Now there are no children in the countryside, and the primary school has been moved to the town, leaving Dahebao Primary School vacant.

After the crew came, they paid the village a sum of money, planning to renovate it and film scenes in it.

According to Jiang Yu's original plan, that primary school should be changed into Sanmin Primary School for filming, but after he walked around Dahebao, he came up with some other ideas and kept "Dahebao Primary School" down.

The scenery here is really good. If "Donkey Gets Water" becomes popular in the future, there can be a local scenic spot to develop tourism.

Two days later, Ge You arrived, and the production crew officially started.

It is said that Principal Sun (Fan Wei) brought four teachers to Dahebao and opened a primary school in order to realize his dream of saving the country through education.

But the traffic in Dahebao is remote and there is drought all year round. It is necessary to go to the Qingshui River more than ten miles away to get water. Principal Sun applied to the Ministry of Education to raise a donkey to pull water, but the county refused to approve it.

In desperation, Principal Sun fabricated a "Lu Deshui" teacher, asked the county for an extra salary, and then used the salary to raise a donkey for the school, which was actually empty pay.

Every time the county sent people down to check, Principal Sun shirked that Mr. Lu went to the countryside to visit the students' homes instead of being at school, so as to avoid being investigated.

But it's hard to die, the county actually believed it, and mistakenly thought that Mr. Lu was a model teacher, and wanted to establish him as a rural educator, and specially sent a special commissioner to examine Mr. Lu.

In desperation, Principal Sun found a small coppersmith (Wang Baoqiang) in the countryside, bathed him and cut his hair, put on a Chinese tunic suit, and pretended to be Lu Deshui.

This is where the story begins.

There are rumors in the rivers and lakes that Ge You has a kind of ability to wear old clothes, which means that no matter what clothes he wears, he can make people feel that they are his clothes, and everything looks so natural and appropriate.

At this time, Ge You changed into a black Chinese tunic suit and sunglasses. For some reason, it seemed rather funny.

"Secretary Jiang, bring me my cane," he called to Jiang Yu.

"Here we come, Commissioner," Jiang Yu ran over and handed him a crutch.

Ge You took the cane and slammed it on the ground, speaking with an authentic London accent, "Shut down q~"

Jiang Yu laughed, "Okay, Commissioner, let's get in the car."

The fellow led a donkey cart, creaking over on the spot, and the two jumped into the cart in a strange way, and staggered towards the Dahebao Primary School.

Principal Sun, played by Fan Wei, took several teachers and stood there in a row, waiting to be greeted.

Now Chef Fan doesn't read recipes or the art of war, he has become the principal!

Ge You got out of the car first, wearing sunglasses, with a cold face, as if he was dragging two to five or eight thousand.

Fan Wei strode forward, shook hands with Ge You, and smiled flatteringly: "Welcome to the Special Commissioner..."

"yue!" Ge You just reached out and shook his hand, and couldn't hold back any longer, and retched directly.

Jiang Yu hurriedly supported him behind him.

"What's wrong with the commissioner?" Fan Wei asked.

"Altitude sickness, Yue..." Jiang Yu couldn't hold back anymore.

The essence of comedy lies in contrasts. Ge You, dressed in a black suit, looks very stylish one second, as if he is going to ask the teacher for a crime, and then immediately breaks the merits in the next second.

Thanks to Ge You's acting skills, this reversal turned out to be extremely natural and funny.

"Okay, get ready for the next round!"

Before, Jiang Wen recommended a videographer to Jiang Yu, named Zhao Fei, who was very capable and experienced in the industry. Jiang Yu spent a lot of money and visited him with a script to invite him. The crew sits in town.

Zhao Fei did live up to Jiang Yu's expectations and arranged every scene properly.

And the actors in the crew, Ge You, Fan Wei, Qin Hailu, Zhang Yi, etc., are all superb acting skills, and their control and interpretation of the characters are all classics.

In this way, Jiang Yu, the director, has nothing to do.

Because the summer is too hot, the outdoor scenes can only be filmed in the evening or early morning. When the sun is shining, the crew packed up their things and moved into the house.

"Baoqiang, have you ever learned a foreign language before?" In the cave, Jiang Yu asked while drinking herbal tea.

Wang Baoqiang was wearing a gray tunic suit, showing a harmless smile on his face: "No, I went to Shaolin Temple when I was 8 years old. I haven't been to school. I envy you college students."

Jiang Yu smiled and said, "Then you have to learn a few foreign languages ​​from Teacher Qin."

Naturally, Wang Baoqiang didn't understand the stalk of "learning a foreign language", so he grinned and said, "Don't worry, director, I'm sure I can speak foreign languages ​​well."

Qin Hailu on the side heard Jiang Yu's malicious intentions, spat at him, and said, "Director, can I do this?"

Jiang Yu sized her up, and saw that Qin Hailu was wearing a blue cheongsam and a white gauze dress. When she smiled, her brows were dignified and charming, like a mature female teacher in a college.

"Okay, sister, you're so good at doing this, I'm so moved." Jiang Yu looked at Baoqiang again, "Do you think she's so pretty?"

"It's pretty, very pretty," Wang Baoqiang nodded vigorously.

Qin Hailu teased him: "Compared with your girlfriend, which one is prettier?"

"They all look the same, and each has its own beauty." Wang Baoqiang smiled innocently.

This guy looks stupid, but he is not stupid at all.

She shows that kind of harmless smile to humans and animals when she has nothing to do. In fact, she has a very high emotional intelligence and is very shrewd.

Jiang Yu smiled and said, "Then your girlfriend is so good-looking, you can go out to film and leave her alone in Yanjing, don't you worry?"

"Director, what do you say? Don't worry about it. My girlfriend just graduated from college. She's so innocent."

"Hey, does she really like doing hair?"

"How do you know?" Bao Qiang said in surprise, "She told me that pretty girls are willing to have their hair done."

"You can do it with her," Jiang Yu laughed, patted him on the shoulder, and turned to look at the camera.

It's not that he is idle and has nothing to do to play with Wang Baoqiang, the main reason is that Baoqiang can really get along with him.

And Ma Rong was too dishonest, so he could only tactfully give Baoqiang a vaccination.

To say that Baoqiang is really clean in the dark and dark entertainment industry, the closest wife around him colluded with the manager, so he didn't reveal any black information about him.

If it was another star, it would have been overturned by a small composition long ago.

This point is worth learning from Jiang Yu.

After a while, just as Zhao Fei had arranged the camera and lighting, Zhang Yi and Guo Jingfei ran in sweating profusely, grabbed a pot of herbal tea on the table, and gulped it down.

"What did you two do?" Qin Hailu asked.

"I went to see the Great Wall." Zhang Yi wiped his mouth and said, "Sister Lu, let me tell you, this place is so good, just our elementary school, it will definitely become a tourist attraction in the future."

Guo Jingfei chimed in and said, "Yes, for sure, when the time comes, it will be called Lv De Shui Scenic Spot."

The two of them were about the same age, but they quickly became friends.

Among them, Zhang Yi was specially invited by Zhou Tienan, appointed by Jiang Yu.

Guo Jingfei is the friendship left over from the last filming of "33 Days of Broken Relationship". It happened that Pei Kuishan in "Donkey Gets Water" has not been played yet, so Jiang Yu thought of him again.

For Guo Jingfei, Jiang Yu is also a kindness to him.

After "33 Days of Broken Relationship" became popular, he received a bunch of drama appointments in urban dramas. The characters were all the same, and they were all successful men.

Guo Jingfei is still very ambitious in his career, and is not satisfied with making money from such repeated roles.

After he read the script of "The Donkey Gets Water", he didn't think much about it, and immediately agreed.

Jiang Yu did not disappoint him. After Guo Jingfei came to Dahebao, he found that the scenery here was a bit desolate and lonely, which complemented the sense of absurdity in "Donkey Gets Water".

It can be said that Jiang Yu chose to shoot here, and the tone of the whole film has been set.

He concluded that if "Donkey Gets Water" is as popular as "33 Days of Broken Love" in the future, it will definitely attract a bunch of idle travelers to come here to explore.

Qin Hailu shouted to Jiang Yu: "Director, look quickly, the two of them want to go with you."

Jiang Yu turned around and said with a smile: "I've heard it all, you two can pull it off, it's good that my film can pass the trial."

For creators, passing the review is always a sharp sword hanging over their heads, and they don't know when it will fall down, making their hard work go to waste.

This is also the reason why many film and television companies like to follow the trend. When ancient puppets become popular, they flock to make ancient puppets, and when little sweet dramas become popular, they flock to make little sweet dramas.

Without him, only An Er.

After a short break, the crew turned on the machine again.

When a new film starts shooting, a group play is usually chosen so that the actors can get in touch.

In order to cooperate with Ge You, Jiang Yu specially chose a big drama of "Special Agents Learning Foreign Languages".

Guo Jingfei felt right, "The Donkey Gets Water" does have a strong sense of absurdity, which is extremely evident in the special commissioner and the little coppersmith.

"Is this a temple?" Ge You, supported by Jiang Yu, looked around the classroom feebly.

Fan Wei quickly explained: "Yes, special commissioner, this place used to be called Dahebao. After the river dried up, there was a shortage of water. The villagers built this Temple of Rain..."

"Using a temple as a primary school, don't you think it's too grandiose?"

Qin Hailu couldn't help but poked her head and asked, "You mean grandeur?"

Jiang Yu gave her a hard look, and helped the commissioner to sit on the podium.

Ge You sat there with a golden knife, and he was quite imposing at first, but after a while, he showed his original shape, shaking his legs, speaking frivolously, and said in a frivolous tone: "The superior sent me here to investigate Teacher Lu Deshui, who is Teacher Lu?"

"Me!" Wang Baoqiang sat down and stood up abruptly.

"Oh, I heard that Mr. Lu came from a famous family, which university did he graduate from?" Ge You scratched his head, and his gestures seemed very foolish.

Jiang Yu stood by his side and thought for a long time before recalling that this is rich and noble.

To say that Uncle Ge played Erliuzi is really a masterpiece.

Fan Wei seemed to explain honestly: "Well, Teacher Lu came back from studying in the UK."

Ge You and Jiang Yu looked at each other, and Jiang Yu said with a smile, "Our commissioner also came back from studying in the UK."

"Ah?" Fan Wei was dumbfounded.

Qin Hailu, Guo Jingfei, and Zhang Yi looked at each other.

It's over, it's time to show off.

"I don't know which university in the UK Teacher Lu is studying at?" Jiang Yu asked.

Fan Wei had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "It's Clayton University in the UK..."

In fact, how can there be such a school? This is what he made up casually.

"Really?!" Ge You looked in disbelief.

Fan Wei hurriedly stood up, "Special Commissioner, I..."

He was going to confess on his own initiative.

Ge You slapped the table, nodded and said, "Brother, I also came back from studying at Clemson University!"

"This?" Fan Wei was completely confused.

Ge You poked his head and shouted excitedly: "Hey, Mr. Lu, how you are?"

Wang Baoqiang replied subconsciously: "i'nbsp; fihanks, andyou?"

He had just been trained by Qin Hailu last night, and these few foreign words came out of his mouth.

Ge You slapped his thigh, and said in Beijing: "Fuck, i'nbsp; fioo!"

Two big illiterates, at this time, actually matched the code.

"This... good! good!"

Qin Hailu, Zhang Yi and others looked at me and I looked at you. They really didn't know what to say, so they smiled awkwardly and clapped their hands.

They found a coppersmith who pretended to be an overseas student returning from England, but they met a special commissioner who returned from studying in England.

I thought I was going to reveal my secrets, but I didn't expect that this special commissioner was also a parallel importer!

Hey, don't you think it's a coincidence? !

It is absurd, but after careful consideration, there is only irony.
