The Wind of China Entertainment 2005

Chapter 235 Gobi (4K)

The days spent at home are dull and comfortable. Lu Yuan visits relatives and friends and attends high school reunions.

The so-called class reunion is to give everyone present a chance after many years to see what it means to change the world, what it means to be like a knife, and what it means to have things change.

There are no vulgar scenes. Everyone gathers together to drink wine, be in a daze, talk about interesting things in life, talk about the girls they have chased in the past, and look back on the green years of campus.

Time always passes quietly, and even the years appear mottled.

In early February, just after the beginning of spring and before the Lantern Festival, Lu Yuan took the first gust of spring wind and started traveling again with his suitcase.

"be careful on the road."

"When you arrive in Xingjiang, remember to call to report that you are safe. Don't go out alone at night."

When he was about to get in the car, he couldn't help but turned around and asked: "You two really don't plan to live in the capital for a while. The house is opposite my sister's house, and you can also visit your grandson."

"She has her own mother-in-law to take care of her, so I won't go." Ms. Li smiled reluctantly, shaking her head with red eyes.

Lu Minghua was probably reluctant to give up, but he didn't show it on his face and said: "Get out of here quickly, it's annoying to watch. When will the secret marriage and childbirth be true, your mother and I will definitely go."

Lu Jing was swaying with laughter at the side. This girl had to go to the capital later in the evening, and the two of them had trouble traveling together.

She folded her arms and shouted, "Uncle, if I'm here, I'm just a sister-in-law. Look at me."

Lu Yuan rolled his eyes at her, you are useless, you are not as good as Yaoyao.

He nodded and waited to get into the car. The car started slowly, rolled down the window, waved and shouted: "Dad, if it's really impossible, I'll send you some supplements from Xingjiang. You and my mother will try again."

Lu Minghua: "."

"Xiaoyuan's mouth is really..." Ms. Li's cheeks turned red in a rare sight.

Lu Jing was still smiling stupidly, thinking that his cousin was really awesome.

Lu Minghua couldn't see his niece being so stupid, so he lifted her ear and said, "Your brother is gone. Come, let's have a good chat about your life events as a family."

Lu Jing: (︶︹︺)
If you want to act and perform well, you must experience life.

A great man once said that domestic writers and artists, and promising writers and artists, must go among the masses.

We must go to the masses, to the fiery struggle, to the single, vastest and richest source, unconditionally and wholeheartedly for a long time.

Observe, experience, study, and analyze all people, all classes, all masses, all vivid forms of life and struggle, and all original materials of literature and art.

Then it is possible to enter the creative process.

This is indeed the case for those who were engaged in art in the early days in China. Whether they were filming or creating, they would go to the field to experience it.

However, I don’t know since when, everything slowly changed. Now they are socializing and building relationships, studying how to make money, suppressing each other, flattering and flattering.

The entertainment industry is becoming more and more realistic. When you become famous, someone will support you. When you pass, no one will pay attention to you. Eat, drink, and flatter each other. It is a fake scene.

Fortunately, Ning Hao is not a very mature director.

Just like a little boy, he is more willful, a little ideal, a little naive, and a little pursuing, and he can enjoy this kind of "luxury" collective experience of life.

If considered purely from a commercial perspective, "No Man's Land" is actually a quite risky idea.

Fortunately, after experiencing the success of two crazy series, he also has some confidence and freedom to do something that is not just for the market.

The box office may be a game value to him now, but in the game of making movies, his greatest value is to sort out his thinking about the world.

Well, generally speaking, this person has some achievements and wants to become an artist.

So, in early February, a high-spirited director, together with several high-spirited actors, went to Shanshan to start a romantic dream.

Lu Yuan stayed in a hotel outside Hami Airport for one night and checked in with his parents that he was safe. Ning Hao and others hurriedly arrived the next morning.

At noon that day, the crew had a meal at a hotel in the city to get acquainted with each other. In the afternoon, the group got on the bus and drove along the deserted Xingjiang Highway.

The whole journey is more than [-] kilometers, with continuous sand hills on both sides, dotted with some tenacious plants such as reeds, camel thorns, sandalwood, salix, poplar and so on.

There is no artificial carving, it is primitive and shocking. It is winding and steep all the way, wild, wild and vicissitudes of life.

The mountain road here has [-] bends, which is rugged and winding, like bumping on a "washboard". Vehicles pass by and the dust is flying.

It was already dusk when we arrived at Shanshan Guest House.

Shanshan, known as Loulan in ancient times, borders Hami to the east, Tianshan Mountain to the north, and the mysterious Kumuta Desert to the south.

The Shanshan Kingdom of the Han Dynasty was located in the Ruoqiang territory of Bazhou. Due to war migration, the residents of the ancient Shanshan Kingdom later moved to the current Shanshan area, continuing the name Shanshan.

This is a famous historical town and an important town on the North Silk Road. It is also the only city in the world directly connected to the desert.

After getting off the bus, no one had time to lament the hardships of the journey. They were immediately struck by the warm local wind and sand.

"hetui~"

The soil in the Gobi Desert is so soft that it feels like stepping on snow.

The horizon is endless sunset, like a red leaf falling to the ground covered with yellow dust.

There were dozens of people in the crew, and they were divided into three buses. Lu Yuan and Huang Bo were not on the same bus.

When they found the other party, the hanged man was squatting on the steps of the guest house, carrying a bottle of mineral water to rinse his mouth. Hearing the movement behind him, he turned around and said, "What are you doing, sneaking around?"

He had a shaved head at some point, his face was wrinkled, his eyes were narrowed, his gums were exposed, and he looked even more gaunt.

"Brother Bo, what's wrong with the corner of your mouth? I didn't notice it at noon." Lu Yuan asked curiously.

Huang Bo grinned and said, "It's unlucky to say that I was beaten by a grandson before I came here."

"Tell me quickly and let me laugh." He smiled.

Just as he opened his mouth, a gust of wind blew by, accompanied by yellow sand. He bent down and said, "Bah, bah, bah."

A gloating smile suddenly appeared on Huang Bo's face. He handed over the mineral water and explained: "Director Ning said that my smile was too gentle and that I didn't have murderous intent. I have been thinking about how to make the character stand upright. No, it was during the Chinese New Year. , I found the big brother in my hometown and followed him every day to figure out what murderous intent is."

In the past, he mostly portrayed people in the market, gangsters, and urban proletarians. Even when he played a gangster, he was still the kind of stupid little thief who could hardly become a big player.

But this time he plays the killer in "No Man's Land". He doesn't talk much and doesn't express much, but he is a ruthless character with cruelty in his bones.

After Lu Yuan rinsed his mouth, he held his chin and joked: "You haven't practiced yet. I told you in college that you look a little silly when you smile. What's the matter? Guan Hu asked you to play a fool. I still don't believe it."

Last year, this guy filmed "Bullfighting" with Guan Hu, and his co-star was Yan Ni, who played the role of Niu Er, a fool who herds cattle in the countryside.

In order to make himself look more like a homeless man from the countryside, he ran on the gravel road for several days and nights, and finally turned into a man covered in dust, with knotted hair and a strange smell.

Huang Bo glared at him and said, "Do you still want to hear the follow-up?" "Listen, I'll shut up, you tell me."

"As a result, I was drinking with my eldest brother in a nightclub that night, and ordered two girls to accompany him. While he was drinking, he started fighting with the person next to him, and his head was covered with blood."

"Then you got on." Lu Yuan asked while waving to Yang Xinming who was passing by.

Huang Bodao: "Damn it, I'm a public figure after all. What if I'm exposed? They beat me really hard. I hid behind and didn't even dare to go up to persuade me. I was just fooling around and I don't know where to start." Something unlucky happened and he punched me so coldly that my teeth became loose. Later, when the elder brother caught him, he found out that the younger sister next to me was an old friend of mine."

"Isn't this an unforeseen disaster?"

"Yeah, I'm wondering too. For your sister-in-law's sake, I've been guarding myself like a jade, and I didn't even touch my sister's hand."

Lu Yuan waved his hand and said: "Okay, don't be prude like me, I won't talk to my sister-in-law."

"Hey, you guy, you still don't believe the truth."

While the two were chatting, Xu Zheng walked over with a shiny bald head and said, "Would you like to go around the area?"

"What are you doing?" Lu Yuan took out his sunglasses from his pocket and put them on. They were probably oily, and his scalp was slightly reflective.

Xu Zheng's character in "No Man's Land" is a moderately successful lawyer. Compared with the end of the year, he is much thinner.

He said righteously: "I will have a striptease scene with Yu Nan later. I want to first understand the exotic customs that are different from those in the mainland and be prepared to avoid not being able to give an appropriate reaction when the time comes."

Lu Yuan looked at him meaningfully. This reason was really high-sounding.

He turned to look at Huang Bo: "Are you going or not?"

The guy scratched his scalp, coughed dryly and said, "I guess the director would like us to know about it in advance."

Just as Huang Bo followed his elder brother to practice the so-called murderous intention and ended in failure, Xu Zheng's exotic customs also failed.

The reason was probably that they didn't find the right place and the quality was so poor that Baldy Xu couldn't be interested.

At the critical moment, director Ning Hao took action.

On the night he arrived in Shanshan, he gathered several actors together and began to introduce the arrangements for the next month.

First, a sufficient amount of "tanning cream" was prepared for each actor, and they were required to tan their skin within a month.

Ning Hao's original intention in filming "No Man's Land" was to understand the good and evil, original sin and redemption in human nature.

Unlike the black humor of the "Crazy" series, which makes people laugh, it focuses more on the discussion of society, systems, and human nature.

He wanted to conduct an experiment on human nature. What would happen if a person was separated from the city and thrown into a place without society.

The so-called no man's land does not mean that there are no people, but that the people in it do not have the humanity that normal people have and cannot be called human beings.

In other words, this is a story about animals. He "animalizes" the characters and focuses on analyzing the ugliness in human nature.

There are some discussions on human nature in the script, using animal images to reveal the most authentic human nature in "No Man's Land".

Therefore, for actors, playing "No Man's Land" requires subtraction, and they have to constantly shake off all the external things about themselves.

In order to absorb the atmosphere of the no-man's land and take off the urban atmosphere, he divided the work for everyone.

Huang Bo and Yang Xinming were sent to the slaughterhouse to experience life. Their daily routine was to kill pigs to cultivate their murderous aura.

Guo Hong, who played the black shop couple together with Yang Xinming, was placed in an uninhabited mine.

Brothers Baduo and Wang Shuangbao were asked to follow the big truck on long-distance hauling.

The character played by Yu Nan is a dancer who is trafficked to the desert and sent to a hair salon to experience life.

She asked to eat and live with the girls from the hair salon, eat and play cards with them and get their nails done, looking for the feeling of a prostitute.

Lu Yuan was asked to go to the flower and bird market, hang out with local traders, and become familiar with their language and behavioral habits.

In addition to experiencing their own character lives, he, Xu Zheng, and Huang Bo were also arranged to learn horseback riding on the grassland.

Ning Hao's original words were to let them fully experience the loneliness of the Gobi.

Both Xu Zheng and Huang Bo have experience in horseback riding, but they still find it difficult to handle the nearly eight hours of practice requirements every day.

In addition, there is wind and sand blowing from time to time in the area, which sticks to the face and makes it painful.

So much so that in the first few days, the two of them couldn't walk after getting off the horse, and they could only stand while eating.

"Damn it, please hold me up." After getting off the horse, Huang Bo's feet went weak and he yelled hurriedly before taking two steps.

Lu Yuan rolled his eyes: "You can't change someone else next time. You have to follow me every time you go to the toilet."

The temperature difference in this terrible place is extremely large. It is extremely hot during the day and extremely cold at night. There are also frequent tornadoes. The key is that there is no place to go to the toilet.

Most of the time, we try to find a place where everyone can't see it and solve it on the spot.

"We are college classmates, can we talk about our friendship?"

"You make the same excuse every time."

Huang Bo decisively skipped this question and asked, "Why do you seem to be fine? Don't your thighs hurt?"

"When I was filming Tang Dynasty costume dramas, I rode a lot, and I'm used to it." Lu Yuan explained that he has some experience in horse riding.

The two of them walked a little further, stopped and looked around, and could only occasionally see a goshawk circling under the blue sky.

Lu Yuan let him go and hid aside, three meters away, he also unzipped his pants.

Huang Bo poured water, whistled, and glanced to the side.

I don't know which one was wrong, but it was probably because of the love. He asked: "Do you know why Sun Shangxiang married Liu Bei?"

Lu Yuan was shooting from the waist, so he had no time to answer his inexplicable question. Without thinking much, he replied perfunctorily: "It's a political marriage, what else could it be? Is it because he is older?"

"Hey, you don't understand, because his second brother is invincible in the world!" Huang Bo trembled.

Lu Yuan was stunned for two seconds, straightened his waist and turned around subconsciously.

Three meters away, Huang Bo's legs were no longer weak. He jumped to the side in panic and shouted: "Fuck you, don't face me, you damn bitch."

"Saury."

After a few seconds, Lu Yuan laughed again: "Liu Bei, nicknamed Emperor Uncle, the second brother is invincible in the world. Brother Bo, you are really worthy of your surname."

"You bastard."
