On the outskirts of Dayang Village, on the set of "Saving the Ancestors".

Due to jet lag, Wu Xiaoqing arrived a bit late, and the preparations for the set had already started.Because it was a rainy scene, the fire hydrants were pouring water on the heads of a group of actors in the play.

After seeing Wu Xiaoqing, Director Chen stood up and waved to him. When Wu Xiaoqing sat over, Director Chen stuffed today's script into Wu Xiaoqing's hand: "Look at it, and see if there are any small details that need to be changed. of."

The script in Wu Xiaoqing’s hand was decided upon by the search and rescue team after many discussions with Director Chen during his rescue mission. It is completely different from the version that Wu Xiaoqing told based on his experience at the beginning. .Now the whole story has become a trip back to the era of Dayu in history to save the ancestors, because the director feels that doing so can resonate with the audience.Wu Xiaoqing didn't understand at all, but he still pretended to read it carefully, and then read out his own line according to the subtitle prompt of the search and rescue team: "Will the prop sign on the door light up?"

"Yes, this light has special close-up shots." After all, Director Chen is a veteran director, and the crew under him have been working together for many years, and the details are done very well.

Wu Xiaoqing went to look at the costumes and makeup of the actors. In Wu Xiaoqing's opinion, they all look alike. Many extras look like real primitive people.However, the search and rescue team can always find a point of opinion: "Well, the teeth are too white, and you should avoid the camera when shouting. The old man looks too old. The old man of the primitive man is only 40 to [-] years old, and he is not so thin. This is not good... …What's this?"

Wu Xiaoqing asked, pointing to a huge weapon in the protagonist's hand.

"The king's axe."

"It's too big, it's too big," Wu Xiaoqing said. "Primitive people lack smelting technology, and metal axes are rare and rough. This is time-traveling realism, not time-traveling mythology."

"Props, props!" the assistant director hurriedly shouted, "Go to the village and find an axe, the older the better..."

"Actually, it's not necessary," Wu Xiaoqing stopped, "Modern axes are all in a certain shape, unless they are specially made. Just take a wooden spear."

The assistant director glanced at the director, the director nodded, and then the assistant director followed suit.

The actor who played Wu Xiaoqing himself, who was patted by Wu Xiaoqing on the shoulder and called Xiao Qin by the director, came to Wu Xiaoqing respectfully.His hair was made into what Wu Xiaoqing used to be by the makeup artist, a yellow non-mainstream afro, when Wu Xiaoqing noticed this hairstyle, for some reason, he felt a little awkward.

"Teacher Wu," the young actor who was four or five years older than Wu Xiaoqing called respectfully to Wu Xiaoqing, "Can I bother you? I don't understand something about the script."

Wu Xiaoqing looked at the subtitles and nodded slightly.The cameras on the set have not yet started filming, but Wu Xiaoqing's performance has been starting-the most dedicated actor of the entire crew should be Wu Xiaoqing.

"That's right, Wang Li—the character name of Wu Xiaoqing in the play—is a hooligan who didn't graduate from junior high school, and he doesn't like other college students in the village. Why is he willing to listen to a professor he just met in action? Where is the command?"

The actor obviously didn't know that Wu Xiaoqing was the prototype of this character. In their eyes, Wu Xiaoqing was a young screenwriter in suits and leather shoes. Naturally, they couldn't imagine that Wu Xiaoqing had never graduated from junior high school.If he had known, he would definitely not have dared to ask such a question—if Wu Xiaoqing's temper had been followed half a year ago, he would have picked up the bench and smashed the head of this blind guy now.

Of course, he didn't even know that the script in front of him was adapted from a real story. There was a search and rescue team in the real story, but not in the script.

Wu Xiaoqing saw the answer given to him by the search and rescue team on the subtitles, he was stunned for a while, and silently read the lines twice in his mind before saying it: "Knowledge is a good thing, everyone knows this fact. Except for some people who are really stupid, they will look down on the owners of knowledge. Most people look down on people with higher levels of knowledge than themselves, not because they look down on knowledge, but because they look down on knowledge so much that they sanctify knowledge. In their Subconsciously, there is a huge gap between the familiar young people of the same Murakami who are about the same age as him, and these sacred knowledge. But as long as he meets the top knowledge owner who is truly recognized by the authority, he will worship him instead —These people have sanctified their personalities because of the knowledge they have acquired.”

Wu Xiaoqing didn't understand—but he could feel the power of these words, which seemed to describe his previous mental state.

This little Qin obviously didn't understand either - but he could feel the aura exuding from Wu Xiaoqing's body when he was speaking. At this moment, he felt that Wu Xiaoqing in front of him was Wang Li in the play, telling his own from the bottom of my heart.No wonder he was able to write a movie script at such a young age. His ability to integrate into the role really amazes even an actor.Just listening to Wu Xiaoqing's words, Xiao Qin felt that he had already grasped the context of this character a lot.

"Attention all departments, have you checked the water pressure over there, is it enough? OK..."

"The actors have entered the stage, let's check each other's makeup..."

Everyone started to get busy. Wu Xiaoqing sat next to the director, watching the assistant director run up and down, arranging every detail.This is a group play, which can be regarded as the key scene of the whole movie.

In the play, only Wu Xiaoqing and Shen Changwen are left as the characters of the time-travelers—they should be the little hooligans and the old professor in the script. When they walked out along the opened door, they began to speak lines that were completely absent in the real world. Then the native king, that is, Dayu, still had an answer.

Well, the modern people of more than 2000 BC and the primitive people of more than 2000 BC chatted happily with each other in Mandarin... Well, after all, art is higher than life.

When Wu Xiaoqing first came here, he still cared a lot about this movie, thinking that it was a story that happened to him after all—if others could see it, it would naturally make him feel a lot of pride.But after watching the set for a while, he knew that the Wang Li in the movie was just the director thought that the Wang Li the audience wanted to see was not Wu Xiaoqing.Wu Xiaoqing would not talk in front of a large number of primitive people, so actively feel worried about the lives of the ancestors - most of the time Wu Xiaoqing just did what the search and rescue team arranged.

And after two rescues, Wu Xiaoqing also knew that being too active would not lead to good results.For example, in the scene in front of us, the modified script asked Wang Li to personally distribute the meals to each primitive person, and then everyone thanked them face to face when the distribution was made—not to mention the efficiency of doing so, according to the meaning of the search and rescue team, the most serious consequences of doing so , It destroys the original social organization form of primitive people - so they still have to hand over the distribution right to the king and witch - this is also an affirmation of their own social order.In the Kingdom of Elis, the logic of their behavior is the same.

Wu Xiaoqing didn't notice the reason behind some things, and he didn't bother to think about them, but sitting on the set, when everyone around him was seriously busy, and Wu Xiaoqing was alone in a daze, he naturally began to subconsciously follow what happened in the past In contrast to the real incidents, what Shen Changwen said to him during the execution process, what the search and rescue team said, all appeared in the memory one by one.

The lunch was a custom-made boxed lunch from a snack bar in Dayang Village, which was not very tasty.But it is very familiar to Wu Xiaoqing.When the boss who delivered the meal saw Wu Xiaoqing, he took the initiative to say hello to him, jokingly said: "Wu Xiaoqing, you still owe me several meals before!"

This is a rare question that Wu Xiaoqing doesn't need to read the subtitles to answer in a day: "Old man Yan, your Yan San didn't come? Are you helping me?"

Yan San was one of Wu Xiaoqing's old friends in the village. When they had a good time, they even fought with others together.Later, Wu Xiaoqing stopped studying and had no contacts.I heard that he went out to work after graduation, and did not come back before Chinese New Year.

"Yan San, I went to work in Ningzhou, helping people install elevators, and it costs more than 1 yuan a month!"

"That's good." Wu Xiaoqing said.

In fact, when the elevator installation engineering team was recruiting people in the village, Wu Xiaoqing also planned to go, but because of his bad reputation, people thought his hands and feet were not clean.Otherwise, he should be doing an ordinary job in a certain corner of the city by now.

"Is your dish enough? I brought a few more chicken legs."

"No, enough is enough." Wu Xiaoqing declined.

The old man Yan took the chicken legs to the director to sell them again. These chicken legs were all made by the Murakami Braised Meat Shop. They were actually not very tasty, but the villagers still thought they were good things.

The filming lasted all day on the set, and when the weather was fine in the evening, the director finished filming the last rain scene before dark, and then announced that he would be off duty.Most of the people were exhausted, and Wu Xiaoqing was probably the most relaxed in the whole crew. Rather than saying that he came to work, it might be better to say that he came to relax and travel.Compared with fighting and killing people, pointing and pointing at the filming scene is really simple.

Originally, the director invited Wu Xiaoqing to dinner at night, but Wu Xiaoqing refused. Now his daily itinerary is already arranged.

Everyone else took a car back to the city from Dayang Village, and Wu Xiaoqing could just walk home.When seeing his own building in the distance, Wu Xiaoqing noticed that the lights upstairs were on.He walked to the door of the house and found a large truck parked at the door, with the words "Happy Moving" written on it.

Two workers were smoking at the door, probably waiting for him. After seeing Wu Xiaoqing take out the door key, they asked him: "Are you Wu Xiaoqing?"

"Yes." Wu Xiaoqing saw the subtitles, and then realized that these workers were called by the search and rescue team.

"Brother, you want to go?" Wu Xiaoqing only felt a thump in his heart, and asked this sentence almost subconsciously.
