I asked you to make a propaganda film, why did you all come to join the army?

Chapter 206 Villager Meeting, Red Eyes (Please ask for a monthly ticket, please subscribe!)

The shooting location has been decided, and the next step is for the crew to enter the village.

But before entering the village, Li Changan had to discuss something, and signed the proposed contract with the village committee under the witness of Director Wang and a lawyer.

But what Li Changan didn't expect was that the village would hold a villagers' meeting to discuss and vote before giving the final result.

That's fine, he wants to see the villagers in the village, and whether he can be an extra, if he's too fat, how can he be a commoner at that time?

Acting as a landlord?

This Gelang village is very large, and it is an administrative village. In the two or three small villages below, after the loudspeakers in the village shouted for a while, about an hour later, people arrived at the big stage of the village one after another.

It seems that every village, big or small, has a place like this, where there are gatherings, opera singing and so on.

Even in such a large village, there are only more than a hundred people in the end, and the rest are either out to find work, or are working, or can't come.

And all the people who came were elderly people, not many middle-aged people, let alone young people.

But it's okay, it basically meets Li Changan's requirements, at least everyone is not white, not particularly white and clean, and everyone hates the kind of native-born peasants, so there is no need to act.

At that time, there were a minority in towns and cities, and the real majority were peasants and workers, and our army also came from the countryside. Therefore, as for peasant actors, Li Changan did not need group performances if he could use them.

As for the young and strong soldiers, you have to contact the local militia, and then go and have a look.

The most important thing now is to negotiate the contract.

"Hey Hey hey"

"Now, let's have a meeting with everyone and talk about something."

"The crew, do the crew know what it is?"

The middle-aged village head stood on the stage, chatting with everyone earnestly
Then everyone is indifferent, they are all so old and don't want to make a fuss.

But what the village chief mentioned later caused a commotion.

"Build the road?"

"It's good to build the road, how wide can the road be built?"

"How long is it?"

"Where did you fix it?"

"Can you connect to the road at the foot of the mountain?"

A bunch of questions were thrown over in an instant.

The village chief looked at Li Chang'an, then at Jiang Weiqiang, who said that?
Li Changan had just changed into his military uniform at this time, and he had to express his stand on the set, so Li Changan directly took over the loudspeaker.

It's still prickly inside
He first put the trumpet on the ground, gave a standard military salute, and then said:

"Uncles, aunts, grandparents, fellow villagers, hello everyone, I am a director of the army, and my name is Li Changan."

"I'm from a certain place in Military Region B."

"We came to our village this time to film an anti-Japanese TV series!"

Then an old man at the bottom asked, "Yeah, you're from the army, little boy, let me ask you, what kind of anti-Japanese war drama did you make?"

Li Changan looked at everyone, and then slowly said: "Master, it's the expeditionary army!"

The uncle was silent, or in other words, one-fifth of the old people here were silent.

Their eye sockets turned red gradually, and the audience was so quiet that it was frighteningly depressing.

It seems that something terrible has been touched.

Then, the old man who asked Li Changan burst into tears instantly.

It was the kind of silent sobbing, not crying out loud, with a feeling of vindication.

As the uncle started to cry, almost half of the people began to cry, mixed with sound and silence, which made people feel overwhelmed.

This.
Li Changan hastily pulled the village chief aside, he must know what happened.

Fortunately, the village chief just looked sad and didn't cry.

"Village chief, what's the matter, why are you crying, did I say something wrong?" Li Chang'an said.

The village chief waved his hand: "I don't blame you, it's because the word Expeditionary Army touched everyone."

Only after the village head's brief narration did Li Chang'an know the whole story.

It turned out that the expeditionary forces were actually recruited from all over the country. According to incomplete statistics, some of them came from Hunan Province, but there were also many people from Nanyun Province and Guizhou Province.

For example, in "My Regiment Leader, My Regiment", Milong is from the Northeast, Zhang Lixian is from the middle of Shu, Kang Ya is a soldier from Xishan Province, and the veterinarian is a former military doctor from the Sichuan Army from Shaanxi Province.

Some of them were recruited by force, some went voluntarily, and some went in a daze, but after all, they went abroad to fight, so the support and recognition were very high.

And Gelang Village is a typical example. The young and middle-aged people in their village went to a full 500 people, and other villagers also took on the role of transporting food and ammunition to the road.

After paying a lot of sacrifices, none of the ten returned, and only a few dozen returned with their bones.

That's it.

So when it comes to the theme of the expeditionary army in the shooting, everyone is a little touched by the scene.

"Leader, my son, I really didn't expect that there are still people who remember us and come to film TV dramas."

The old man had arrived on the stage at some point, and his withered old hand went to hold Li Chang'an's hand.

"We are excited and happy. Actually, we don't ask for anything, we just want to have a name, that's all. Everyone knows that there are too few expeditionary troops."

"Thank you, thank you."

The old man said that he was about to kneel down to Li Changan, so frightened that Li Changan hurriedly supported the old man: "Master, you really upset me, don't worry, before, there were too many national affairs, now it's all right, we have Time to focus on more things, don't worry, there will be more and more dramas like this in the future."

Li Changan didn't dare to say that he would help the expeditionary army find all the bones, he wanted to wait until he did.

"Okay, okay."

"When the time comes to build the road, I will help the old man."

"Okay, okay." Li Changan was about to say no, but the old man was too angry, so he had no choice but to agree.

Li Changan reappeared, and the mood of the people in the audience became much more stable. This time, he saluted deeply: "This gift is for our Gelang Village!"

"Please rest assured, the motherland will not forget!"

As for the filming, it was naturally passed, and some people later said that it should not be repaired at all. We will help you move things, but Li Changan still insisted on repairing.

"When the time comes, everyone can go to group performances, you can rest assured, everyone will receive a subsidy of 100 yuan per day, and you will have food and meat!"

Li Changan also mentioned the matter of group performances by the way, and then
"Boy, what is a group show?"

After learning about the role of group performances, everyone said: We want money, isn't it a pity to our ancestors, no, run for free, don't say anything!

Well, it turns out that the reputation of the Daxia soldiers is very good in the eyes of the common people, and many things of Li Changan have been approved, and they don't want money, and they can't wait to give Li Changan them back.

"Boy, don't leave yet, I have something important for you." After saying that, the old man hurried back.

Li Changan was left with a bewildered expression.

But this time it was not in vain, at least the support of the villagers was very important, otherwise, no matter how good the script was, it would be useless.

After signing the contract, Li Changan also learned the name of the old man.

Uncle Ge, a lonely old man.

I don't know what I did before or where my children went.

But Uncle Ge is a very nice person, the kind that is highly respected in the village, otherwise Li Changan and the others would not have passed the approval of so many people so quickly without his support at the beginning.

Of course, everyone still recognizes Li Changan's clothes more, and the phrase "make a TV series about the expeditionary army".

But Uncle Ge is already in his eighties and walks very slowly, but since they want Li Changan and the others to wait, Li Changan and the others naturally have to wait.

During the period, I chatted with the village chief and Jiang Weiqiang about some specific details. Starting tomorrow, the crew will officially enter the village. We will live in the village for now, and we will talk about other things when the road is clear.

After an hour, Uncle Ge finally came back.

It's not that Li Chang'an has never thought about Uncle Ge's amazing past, medals and the like.

But after Uncle Ge ran over panting, he took out the oil paper wrapped in many layers, and made Li Chang'an silent.

Those were sheets of coins, some of which Li Changan didn't even recognize, some of which were already worn out, and even a few coins.

"Boy, here are all my coffin books, for you to use for road construction!"

"It's not easy for you, the dolls are working so hard, I want to support you."

Uncle Ge said in a hoarse voice, but his tone was unquestionable.
