The leisurely life of rebirth

Chapter 41 Visiting Mr. Banshu

After the first and second days of junior high school, we spent the rest of the day visiting relatives with each other. We were too lazy to move around, so we lent the car to our parents, who drove to visit relatives.

There are quite a lot of relatives from my parents' generation, including seven aunts and eight aunts, so much that I can't recognize them all when I travel around.

When it comes to traveling around, there won’t be that many people, and there will only be one or two children at most.

Later, during the Chinese New Year, he was already in his 30s and barely visited any relatives.

Every time I go home, it ends with a trip to grandma’s house.

During the Chinese New Year, I received many congratulatory calls, including from Zhao Yun, director Han Jie, Wang Fangfang, Wang Ping and many other people I came into contact with at work.

At that time, director Han Jie asked Zhou You if he was interested in visiting the studio to see how the movie was shot.

Zhou You agreed at the time. Although he had seen the behind-the-scenes filming online, the scene was definitely different.

And the most important thing is to contact Wang Baoqiang so that he can invest in future movies.

Just after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, I received a call from Han Jie, saying that they had started filming a movie and asked if he had time to come over.

Zhou You had stayed at home long enough, so he drove back to Luzhou and then took a direct flight to Northeast China.

As soon as I got off the plane, I was freezing when I traveled around. It was too cold. No wonder those who had some money later went to Hainan.

The weather is cold and inherently unsuitable for human survival.The closer you get to the north, the vaster the land and the sparsely populated areas. Apart from other things, crops alone cannot support that many people.

After leaving the airport, there was a young man holding a travel sign. He should be picking us up from the airport.

When he met Zhou You, he explained, "Originally, Director Han wanted to come over in person, but as soon as the filming started, many things were inextricably linked to him."

"It's okay. I'm just going to take a look. It's too cold today. How are you going to film?"

"You can just go and watch when the time comes. There's nothing good about filming. It's all hard work."

When we arrived at the filming location, it was completely white. The staff all lived in the town. The location was in a small village. The scene looked very lively, with a crowded group of people.

Director Han Jie came over from afar and said, "The conditions are poor. I'm really sorry. I'll find a better location for the next shoot."

"I'm causing trouble to you. It's mainly out of curiosity. It's my first time contacting him, so I came here to have a look." Zhou You took his hand out of his down jacket pocket.

"The other actors are currently filming. After the main actors have finished filming, I will come to pick you up tonight and get to know them by the way."

"I'm here to treat you tonight. This time I came out of the blue and I didn't buy anything. I'm going to treat the crew to dinner tonight," Zhou You said sincerely. After all, there is still a bit of Chinese New Year flavor, especially in the Northeast.

The two walked inside while talking. It was strange to see Zhou You. The world inside the camera and the world outside the camera were two different.

Looking at the camera, the actors are performing according to the script, and the director, camera, lighting, logistics crew, and a lot of people are watching outside the camera. No wonder it is said that acting must liberate nature. If it does not liberate nature, it cannot be acted. .

Anyway, Zhou You had never thought of stepping on stage. Being a university teacher was his dream job, and this was already the limit of his public speaking.

Mr. Shu's film was shot very quickly, finishing in just forty days. There were not many locations that needed to be shot on location, and there were no places that needed to be set up elsewhere.

This is also the reason why the investment in this movie was not large, mainly because of the salary.

There happens to be a scene involving Wang Baoqiang right now.

Zhou Youyou was surprised to see Mr. Shu wearing a gray jacket with a green sweater underneath.He wore ear warmers on his ears and wore a pair of baggy gray pants.

He stretched out his hand, as if he was grabbing something, but failed to catch it. He scratched the back of his head, making his messy hair even more messy.

Two legs dragging on the road, a bit like a duck, a bit like a goose.

Walking to the car, he knocked on the window first, then opened the door and lay down in it.

<divclass="contentadv">"Hello Brother Shu, you are not busy today"

"The Prime Minister is busy, but we are not busy."

"If you don't serve as a cadre in this life, you will waste your time caring for this man."

Mr. Shu raised his head and smoked, silent.

Seeing this performance, Zhou You never imagined that the future king of comedy would have such depressing acting skills.

I stayed in the theater for most of the day and saw how various departments worked, which satisfied my basic curiosity.

At some point, I discovered that the director and Wang Baoqiang were discussing the plot again. Baoqiang himself came from a lower-class background in the countryside, and he played a small rural character to perfection. Sometimes the script was not even written, and Wang Baoqiang acted naturally.

After staying outside for a long time, the cold was unbearable. Although it snowed and was cold in my hometown, it was still far behind compared to the Northeast.

Think about northern Russia, that’s where people live. No wonder they all like to drink vodka. If you don’t drink often in this weather, people will freeze to death.

After filming the last scene of the day, Director Han shouted with a loudspeaker: "Today the investor of our crew, Mr. Zhou, came to visit the crew. Please go to the Golden Spoon Hotel in town for dinner. Come over when you are done."

Everyone cheered "Thank you Mr. Zhou" in unison, after all, the food for the crew can be so good.

Zhou You, the director and Wang Baoqiang went over first, and Tan Zhuo rushed over after taking off his makeup.

When we arrived at the hotel, we found that it was indeed a big hotel. There were only two hotels in the whole town, and this was the largest hotel in the town.

Typical Northeastern style, rough and thick, a wave of heat hit him as soon as he walked in. Zhou You felt that the heating saved his life.

No wonder the Northeastern students in my class said that Luzhou could not stand the cold.

At that time, he was also curious that the Northeast was much colder than Luzhou, so it could be said that the Northeast was warm.

I live in the northeast, and it's minus 20 degrees outside and over 20 degrees indoors.

In Luzhou, it’s minus 5 degrees outside and 5 degrees indoors.

Children from Northeast China were indeed shivering from the cold when they arrived in Luzhou.

As the locals say, we all rely on being healthy in winter.

It makes me cry when I talk about it. There is no central heating in winter.

The Spring Festival has just ended, and the whole hotel is still full of festive atmosphere. The couplets on the window grilles have not yet fallen off, and a big word "福" is pasted upside down at the entrance.

The proprietress had also done business with the crew several times, and she was beaming when she saw them coming.

Otherwise, in this small town, no one would come to the restaurant to eat. In the middle of winter, everyone is busy at home. A dinner party with the crew can equal her monthly income.

"Director Han, you are here again. How many people are there this time? I have arranged it for you." The landlady smiled like a flower.

"I guess I have to wrap it up for you. Our crew are all coming today."

"Bring over all your local specialties, such as blood sausage, cabbage stewed vermicelli, etc."

It doesn’t matter if I travel around, I haven’t tasted it anyway, and I haven’t been here before, so it’s a rare taste.

After a short wait, a few dishes were served. No wonder people say Northeastern food is affordable. It is indeed affordable. If they say it is a plate, what is the difference between it and a basin?
