Entertainment since 1999

Chapter 9 Juxian Village

At the end of March, the rising sun is born.

Saying goodbye to grandpa and aunt, Han Qiao carried the sack and boarded the bus going south.

It was still early, and there was no one on the bus, so Han Qiao found a seat by the window, put away his luggage, and closed his eyes to rest.

In 1999, there were some important TV series in Hengdian, Xiao Li Feidao, Peerless Double Pride, the former Jiao Enjun's Li Xunhuan, who was chic and romantic, became the dream of many teenagers, and the latter Su Youpeng and Lin Zhiyin's version of Hua Wuque and Xiao Fish is also a classic image on the screen.

However, the film and television base in Hengdian now needs to rent a venue for filming, which also leads to a development speed that lags far behind other domestic film and television production bases.

However, in these two dramas, it is barely enough.

The car was rickety, Han Qiao hadn't slept for an hour, and couldn't sit still at all.

Looking out of the car window, a large area of ​​farmland is connected together. In March, there are no crops in the field, and it is a bit desolate.

The car was not peaceful either, the child was crying like a fly buzzing, people got on and off the car from time to time, Han Qiao felt nauseated in his chest, clamped his legs tightly, wanted to cry but couldn't cry, and the egg was broken when shaking.

………………

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the car stopped by the side of the highway in Hengdian.

Han Qiao shivered his legs, picked up the sack, and staggered out of the car. The fresh air oncoming made people... Han Qiao took a deep breath and coughed violently.

Not far away, the construction site was hot and dusty.

After a while, Han Qiao regretted it a little. He knew that he should go to the BJ Film Studio to squat, and maybe he could meet Wang Dabao.

It's all here, carrying the sack, Han Qiao looked at the small town in the distance, and walked over quickly.

Hengdian, the full name of Dongyang Hengdian Film and Television City, East Hollywood, is a large-scale comprehensive scenic spot integrating leisure, vacation, and cultural tourism. In its heyday, two of the three TV series in the country were filmed here.

However, in 1999, Hengdian was just a well-known small town, with only one street in the whole town, and the rest were rural areas.

Hanqiao walked for 5 minutes, and when he reached the entrance of the town, there was a little jumper driver coming to meet him from a distance.

"Brother, let's act, can you sit in the car?" The driver was a young man with tanned skin.

"How much is it?" Han Qiao panted heavily, feeling a little tired after sitting in the car for several hours.

"Eight yuan, send it to the most prosperous place in the town, so that you can live comfortably and eat safely." The guy is an honest man, and he said it in a casual way.

"Fifty cents, love to go or not." Han Qiao gave the driver a blank look, you are quite dark, and chopped directly below the neck.

"Get in the car!" The driver quickly took the sack.

Han Qiao felt a little regretful, feeling the pain of losing [-] million yuan.

After getting in the car, Han Qiao gave an address.

"Okay, you sit down." The driver tightened the accelerator.

........................

Entering Hengdian, on both sides of the narrow road, there are three or four storey self-occupied houses with crooked telephone poles and various small advertisements posted on them.

Han Qiao held on tightly to the tricycle. The car was not stable, and it was more like jumping than running.

After driving for a few minutes, the driver let go of the accelerator, turned around and said cheerfully to Han Qiao, "Brother, we're here, the Juxian Village you're looking for is just ahead."

Han Qiao looked ahead, not far away, a five-story residential building was very conspicuous, the third and fourth floors seemed to be accommodation, and there was a restaurant on the first floor, with the words "Juxianzhuang" on the gold-plated signboard flying and phoenix dancing.

Han Qiao's heart was bleeding again. He got out of the car, picked up the sack and was about to leave. After thinking for a while, he turned around and asked, "Brother, isn't this the most prosperous place you mentioned?"

The little driver tightened the accelerator, shook off the ashes, and drove away quickly.

"That's it, Juxian Village, very famous."

"I love you immortal!"

………………

Han Qiao walked to Juxian Village, thought for a while, and bought some tobacco and alcohol at the canteen nearby.

After spending 26, this money cannot be saved.

When they came out with big bags and small bags, a large group of people surrounded the gate of Juxianzhuang, which was very lively.

Han Qiao went inside and took a look.

In front of the minivan, a young man in his twenties knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the gray-haired old man with tears in his eyes.

The old man's face was dark, expressionless, and he pulled his face and did not speak.

The young man wanted to go up and hug the old man, but he was a little scared, said a few words, and hurried into the van and left.

Han Qiao looked at it for a while, felt bored, and walked into Juxianzhuang.

This should be the most well-equipped restaurant in Hengdian at present. There are eight Eight Immortals tables in the hall, and there is also a private room inside.

The mahogany counter at the front desk is full of drinks, and the God of Wealth is smiling and stroking his long beard in the middle.

"Welcome, hello, please inside."

A little girl came out from nowhere and bent over to meet Han Qiao.

Han Qiao's jaw dropped in shock. The restaurant in the town still had this service. Han Qiao was full of curiosity about the uncle's senior brother.

"Hello, I'm looking for Li Kangri." Han Qiao smiled at the little girl.

"Looking for me?" A loud voice came from behind.

Han Qiao looked back, and it was the black-faced old man at the door who spoke.

"Hello, Uncle Li, I am the godson of Mr. Wang Bin, and this is my letter of introduction." Han Qiao took out the letter of introduction from the uncle from his arms and handed it to Uncle Li.

Uncle Li accepted the letter with a dark face, looked Han Qiao up and down, and opened the letter: "When did Lao Wang have a godson, why didn't I know?"

Han Qiao didn't answer the call, and after Uncle Li read the letter, he handed over the cigarettes and alcohol he bought, and said with a smile, "Uncle Li, before I came to Hengdian, the uncle has repeatedly told me that I must come to see you first. Please forgive me for visiting."

"That kid, Old Wang, is the same, he doesn't come to see me." Old man Li muttered, and after reading the letter, he became enthusiastic about Han Qiao, with a smile on his black face: "Since he is Lao Wang's godson, naturally he is also my son." Godson, come, godson, sit inside."

………………

In the evening, in Juxian Village.

A large table was filled with dishes, and a large family sat around the table, creating a lively atmosphere.

Uncle Li and Han Qiao were both a little drunk, shoulders crossed.

"Xiao Han, we brothers have different opinions. From now on, I will be your master and you will be my younger brother." Uncle Li put down his wine glass, his black face flushed from drinking.
"Tell me, what are you planning to do when you come to Hengdian this time?"

"My lord, to be honest, I came to Hengdian this time, first to see you for the old man, and second, to act." Han Qiao also drank a little too much.

"Acting." Old Li was silent, sat upright, and the black face appeared again: "My boy, let me tell you, don't even think about acting. You can play here for a few days and go back early."

"Didn't you see this morning? That crying kid was my apprentice before. He didn't learn to cook well, but he insisted on acting. After several years of messing around, he didn't get any fart."

"I just can't stand you young people who are acting, wanting to soar into the sky all day long. Since "The Opium War" in 1996, how many people there are in Hengdian, and how many of them have been on TV."

Han Qiao didn't argue, he could see that old man Li was a little sad, and filled up the wine: "Master, let me try, I think I can do it."

Uncle Li took a closer look at Han Qiao, and smiled again on his black face: "You look handsome, you might really have hope."

Han Qiao complained in his heart that drinking alcohol can also cure presbyopia, which is a medical miracle.
