Chapter 235

After the plane took off, the grandmother and Xu Shufen, who were next to the window, kept looking at the sky and clouds, never getting tired of it. Wei Ming even used his camera to take a group photo of them and a rainbow in the sky.

Three hours later, the plane landed at Shuangliu Airport. On the way, they even had a meal in the sky.

After arriving in Chengdu, they went to the bus station to find a bus back to their hometown in Baoxing. They got off on the way to the county seat and walked for another two hours to return to the village. This was the experience the uncle taught Wei Ming.

Unfortunately, Wei Ming didn't see his younger brother Gangdan and Gangdan's mother on the way, but the air in the mountains was indeed good.

The grandmother said that the big plains of Hebei indeed made their farmers envious, but she felt tired of looking at them for a long time. But the mountains and trees in her hometown were never tiring to look at. On the mountain road home, this old lady walked faster than Wei Ming and Xu Shufen.

When they arrived at Dagou Village, it was already dark. The uncle and aunt saw that three relatives had returned and immediately prepared dinner for them again.

The cousins Pingping and Fangfang circled around Wei Ming because they knew this cousin had countless candies.

The candy was given, and Wei Ming also asked about their academic performance, but their mouths were stuck with candy, and they couldn't speak clearly.

Afterward, Wei Ming opened his luggage bag and took out the rich gifts Mei Wenhua had prepared for his father-in-law and mother-in-law, as well as those he had prepared.

The uncle had already received Yunyun's letter and remittance slip before, knowing that his daughter had found a local partner from Yanjing, who was also a friend of Little Ming, and whose character and family background were trustworthy. It moved the couple to tears. Thanks to their nephew, the eldest daughter could be considered to have completely escaped the sea of suffering.

"This is Mei Wenhua." Wei Ming took out the photo he had prepared.

The uncle was very satisfied: "This big guy, and he wears glasses. How is he uncultured? He looks cultured at first glance!"

The aunt had difficulty moving, so the uncle specifically took the photo to the stove for her to take a look. Wei Ming followed up with an introduction: "These are Mei Wenhua's parents and brother and sister-in-law. Their whole family is in the military."

"Good, good, really good!" The aunt's eyes were a bit moist. "This, how can we be worthy of them."

Wei Ming: "Why not worthy? With Yunyun's personality and appearance, they couldn't find her even with a lantern. Little Mei's mom is afraid that Yunyun will run away, so they want to hold the wedding this year."

This was another huge shock to the uncle and his wife. Their daughter is going to start a family?

Wei Ming had previously suggested they raise quails. Added to the money Wei Ming borrowed, and Yunyun's money, it was all invested. Now they hadn't seen the return money yet, and the family was penniless. How could they prepare a dowry?

Xu Shufen said: "Brother, you don't need to worry about these. We will definitely marry Yunyun off in a grand way when the time comes."

Hearing her second sister-in-law's promise, the aunt wiped away happy tears and hurriedly served them dishes.

"It's a pity that the quails at home haven't grown up and won't lay eggs, otherwise we could add half a meat dish." The aunt said embarrassedly.

Wei Ming smiled: "It's already very good, there's also cured meat."

Eh, Wei Ming took a bite and smacked his lips. This cured meat seemed to be the one they brought over during the New Year. Good guy, it had been half a year and they hadn't finished eating it yet.

Just as they were eating, the village secretary, Uncle Secretary Wang Cai, and Aunt Cai Feng heard the news and also ran over to be guests, along with some old grandmothers who were familiar with the grandmother.

Everyone chatted and laughed while passing around the photos of Mei Wenhua and Yunyun, envious of Yunyun finding such a new son-in-law, and all praised the child for looking cultured and tall.

Unfortunately, Little Mei wasn't there, otherwise he would have been happy to death.

At the beginning, the four-person group in the Peking University South Gate dormitory, Wei Ming, Biaozi, and Brother Feng were all big guys around 1.8 meters. Only Little Mei was a head shorter, which had become his heart knot.

Of course, the villagers were even more surprised that the grandmother and her party had actually returned by plane. That was a plane! How could ordinary people have the qualifications to take a plane? It had to be that the grandson was capable.

The uncle's house became more and more lively, and they were all living their nightlife here. Wei Ming fell asleep quite late. The next morning, when he opened his eyes, he saw his cousin Long Xiaoyang from his aunt's house.

Living in the next village, he heard that his grandmother had returned and hurriedly ran over. Sure enough, he saw Cousin Ming.

Now Long Xiaoyang was also raising quails with his uncle and aunt. The breeding books Wei Ming sent over were the ones this kid read the most thoroughly.

Wei Ming also thought about investigating how they were raising them this time. If possible, he would support some more start-up capital.

In the original timeline, the Liu family of the Hope Group relied on selling watches and bicycles to gather 1,000 yuan as start-up capital to start from the breeding industry. They raised quails for several years, and only after the funds were sufficient did they enter the feed industry.

Wei Ming didn't expect them to have the ability to do such a large scale, but at least escaping poverty and becoming prosperous shouldn't be a problem.

With money, even the uncle himself would have more hope of finding his lost younger sister.

Of course, Wei Ming promised his mother, so he wouldn't give up. This time he brought a letter, which was a suspect. He wrote to the other party, wanting to know more, but the other party didn't reply to him.

Fortunately, the other party was also in Sichuan, so he wanted to go over and take a look to verify it.

"Brother Ming, why don't you sleep at my house tonight, and tell me about Sister Yunyun and Brother-in-law by the way."

Wei Ming: "I'm afraid I can't. I'm leaving today?"

"Ah, so fast?"

Wei Ming: "I have to go to Jiuzhaigou first."

"Where is Jiuzhaigou?"

Wei Ming: "In the Aba Autonomous Prefecture, next to Gansu. My friend is filming there, so I plan to go over and take a look, and then go to Zigong to find my aunt."

"Filming? Then take a plane?"

"Train."

Hearing that his grandmother had taken a plane, this kid was so envious, his head full of planes. Not only had he never taken a plane, but he had also never seen filming, because they were too remote here, and the projection team wasn't willing to come, only occasionally being able to see it once in the town.

Seeing Long Xiaoyang hesitate to speak, Wei Ming smiled: "What, want to go see the world with me?"

"Can I?" Long Xiaoyang widened his eyes.

Wei Ming: "Yes, you tell your aunt, and we'll set off immediately."

In this day and age, traveling alone, luggage is easy to lose, and you don't dare to sleep at night. Having more people means more care, and young people should see more of the world.

Before coming, Wei Ming had already contacted Biaozi and knew the specific location where they were filming. Initially, they were filming in the Yangtze River basin in Hubei, later went to Guizhou, and now they had arrived in Sichuan, mainly taking scenes in Jiuzhaigou. In short, they had to include all the good scenery and scenery of the southwest region.

It was said that even mainland scenery documentaries could sell well at the box office in Hong Kong. This was also one of the important reasons why "Shaolin Temple" exploded at the box office in Hong Kong in the previous life.

Hong Kong had too many geographical limitations. Even if they could take scenes in Taiwan, it was ultimately not as colorful as the mainland scenery.

However, the road at this time was still relatively difficult to walk. Wei Ming and Long Xiaoyang walked for two days, changed transportation many times, and passed through Wenchuan, Maoxian, and Songpan before arriving at Nanping County where Jiuzhaigou was located. It would only be changed to Jiuzhaigou County in 1998 because of the tourism industry.

"Because there are nine Tibetan villages in the territory, this place is named Jiuzhaigou."

Wei Ming explained the origin of the name Jiuzhaigou to Long Xiaoyang. After hearing it, Xiaoyang was full of admiration. As a Chuan-Yu person, he didn't even know such a place, but he didn't expect his cousin to be so clear about it.

At this time, Jiuzhaigou was indeed not famous. Many years ago, this place was mainly a forest farm called Rize Forest Farm, also known as the 126 Forest Farm.

It was only designated as a national nature reserve two years ago, mainly protecting rare animals such as giant pandas and golden monkeys and their habitats. Now the natural scenery here wasn't famous, and there was no scenic spot, so naturally, there was no reception for tourists.

I'm afraid many people knew this place because Wei Kuangren put several important fighting scenes in "Heroes of the Past" here and praised the beauty of the scenery here.

He could also be considered to be doing a warm-up for the beautiful scenery of Jiuzhaigou in advance. He had to carry his camera every time he went out. This time, he also planned to take a few photos of the beautiful scenery of Jiuzhaigou and write two essays to maintain his relationship with several major literary journals.

He had also published several essays about food before, and it wouldn't be a problem to publish a collection of gluttony in the future.

A writer's pen sometimes had great influence. For example, his previous proposal about giant pandas only being rented and not given away also caused quite a discussion in the newspaper at the time, and it was expected to promote the implementation of this clause in advance.

Arriving at Zhangzha Town, after some inquiries, the two finally found the place where the film crew was stationed.

There was no guesthouse here. Because of logging before, there were several stations. Now because of the designation of the nature reserve, the amount of logging had decreased, and the number of loggers had decreased, so this station was vacated and left for the film crew to use. The consumption of so many people could be considered a not-small revenue for the town.

Arriving at the logging station, it was empty and there was no one. Before Wei Ming saw Biaozi, he first saw a familiar person.

Why is he here?

It was just that he was much younger than in Wei Ming's impression, only twenty-something, thin and tall, and was communicating with difficulty with a young man speaking Cantonese with his head lowered.

"Who are you looking for?"

Seeing Wei Ming and the others enter, the man speaking Cantonese asked. Looking at the way he turned, his leg should have been injured.

Wei Ming also communicated in Cantonese: "I am Wei Ming, the screenwriter of this movie, here to visit the set."

The other party's expression softened: "Oh, I've heard Master mention you. Come in, they went into the mountains to film."

Then Wei Ming looked at Han Sanping and asked knowingly: "How should I address this one?"

Seeing that Wei Ming was speaking Chuan-Yu Mandarin, Han Sanping breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, there was someone he could communicate with.

"Hello, my name is Han Sanping, a director at the Emei Er Yingchang." He said a bit guiltily. Actually, his highest position now was assistant director, and he hadn't independently directed a movie yet.

"So it's Director Han, nice to meet you, nice to meet you. I am Wei Ming, the screenwriter of this movie, and this is my cousin Long Xiaoyang."

"Wei Ming?" Han Sanping was stunned. "It seems there is a writer named Wei Ming, right?"

Wei Ming smiled: "I am that writer." "Oh my!" Han Sanping shook Wei Ming's hand with a bit more force. "I didn't expect you to be the screenwriter of this movie. Disrespect, disrespect."

Wei Ming was here to visit friends. As for Han Sanping, when Wei Ming asked, this director was a bit embarrassed.

"I was a lighting technician by background. Recently, a lighting technician from the Beijing Er Yingchang in the 'Heroes of the Past' crew got sick, and the Beijing Er Yingchang didn't have a suitable candidate to send over for the time being. So they contacted our Emei factory nearby, and I volunteered to come, also thinking about learning the advanced experience of Hong Kong peers."

Filming in Sichuan, it was normal for "Heroes of the Past" to encounter trouble and find the Emei factory for help. In the previous life, this movie was a collaboration between the Emei factory and Green Bird, but in this life, the Emei factory got "The Mysterious Buddha," which wasn't a loss.

Although Han Sanye's evaluation in the future was mixed, at least he was a doer, seeking innovation and change, and doing his duty in his position.

From his active participation in "Heroes of the Past" and being willing to be a lighting technician, it could be seen that he had the ambition to climb up. Joining this crew and knowing peers from the Beijing Er Yingchang and the Hong Kong film circle, maybe this connection could be used at some point.

Now he even knew the literary world's Silver Spear Little Overlord Wei Ming, and felt even more that the trip was worthwhile. The two soon chatted happily.

Coincidentally, Wei Ming's mother was from Sichuan, while Han Sanping's mother was from Hebei.

"I didn't expect to have such a fate with Writer Wei. On the way here, I saw a small restaurant. I'll treat today, let's have a good drink!"

It was estimated that the film crew wouldn't be back for a while, so Wei Ming agreed. Then Han Sanping asked Wei Ming to tell the injured martial arts brother to go eat together.

!

This guy knew how to behave. Although the injured young man had inconvenient legs and feet, hearing that someone was treating him, he propped up a homemade wooden crutch and followed.

In order to appease the dissatisfaction of mainland peers, they had to eat and live with mainlanders. He hadn't eaten meat for a long time.

During the conversation, the other party reported his name: "My name is Lin Dian, you can call me Anzai. Director Xu is my master."

Wei Ming was stunned and looked at this young man carefully. It seemed it really was him, but now Lin Dian was only seventeen or eighteen years old, very different from the hunk Wei Ming was familiar with in his impression.

Lin Dian and Gu Zhaoxuan were both the team brought out by Xu Xiaoming. Later, both joined the Yuan family class. Like Donnie Yen, they were one of the few in the Yuan family class who didn't have the surname Yuan.

And Lin Dian's achievements weren't bad either. Later, he followed Yuen Woo-ping into the Hollywood market and participated in blockbusters such as "The Matrix" and "Spider-Man 2." He was relatively good at filming action scenes for fashion and comic-adapted movies, and the martial arts design was relatively fashionable and imaginative.

Seeing his cousin switch calmly between Cantonese and Chuan-Yu Mandarin, Long Xiaoyang admired him endlessly. This was the composure of an old artist.

Wei Ming mainly asked Lin Dian about the filming situation, especially the injury situation.

The result was okay. Although small injuries were constant, no one was seriously injured. Except for Lin Dian, this new recruit, the other martial arts actors were all old people from the Yuan family class, with very rich experience.

And the main and supporting actors who participated in the performance were also selected from major sports schools and martial arts teams, with excellent physical quality, and they dared to fight and work hard. Under the advanced wire technology and martial arts design thinking of Hong Kong, they exerted effects far exceeding expectations.

Biaozi and Yanzi could also be considered to have won the respect of these Hong Kong martial arts actors with their own strength. Otherwise, it would be difficult to suppress them just by relying on the prestige of Xu Xiaoming and Yuen Cheung-yan.

Watching Wei Ming's skillful appearance when ordering dishes, Han Sanping didn't feel the pain of money. He was also the son of an official and wasn't short of money, but just felt that the rumors in the literary world weren't false. This Writer Wei was a good eater.

After the appetizers were served, Han Sanping asked while eating: "How long does Writer Wei plan to stay this time?"

Wei Ming: "I'll just take a look. Later, I have to go to Zigong to find relatives, and I have to rush back to Yanjing to work at the end of the month."

"Zigong?" Speaking of this, Han Sanping smiled. "I'm familiar with that place. My father worked in Zigong before, and several old subordinates are still serving as leaders there. If you have any trouble, you can mention my name."

Afterward, he told Wei Ming about which acquaintances he had in Zigong.

Although Wei Ming might not be able to use it, he still accepted Han Sanping's favor.

"I won't say much about thanks. If Director Han comes to the capital in the future, just say a word, and I'll definitely arrange it for you." Afterward, Wei Ming also left his home phone number to him.

Han Sanping looked flattered. Wei Ming was a supernova in the literary world, a figure even Ma Shitu praised endlessly.

Hearing from Lin Dian that the film crew went into the mountains to film for a whole day, and lunch was solved directly at the filming location, it might be evening before they could come back.

So Wei Ming and Han Sanping thought about walking over to find them.

Lin Dian knew the specific filming location and only needed a local guide. So they randomly grabbed a Tibetan girl named Zhuoma from the small restaurant. Of course, being a guide had a hard work fee.

This child was also bold and just followed three foreign men into the mountains.

The place where they were filming now was called "Five-Flower Sea," because the mineral deposits at the bottom of the lake formed colorful lake water, presenting goose yellow, deep blue, dark blue, dark green, etc. Looking down at its full appearance, it was like a peacock with full feathers, so it was also known as "Peacock Sea," which would also be a landmark attraction of Jiuzhaigou in the future, with the reputation of "Number One Wonder of Jiuzhaigou."

Oh, the Spider Demon part of the CCTV version of "Journey to the West" was filmed here. The picky scene selection and the inconvenience of having only one camera were an important reason why this movie took so long to film.

As soon as the four of them went up the mountain, a beautiful picture came into view. First, it was a very beautiful lake, surrounded by a lush arrow bamboo forest.

Even Han Sanping and Long Xiaoyang, who were locals of Sichuan, were amazed, and Wei Ming stopped to start taking pictures.

Long Xiaoyang thought his cousin was going to take pictures of him, so he hurriedly posed and pulled the little girl Zhuoma. As a result, Wei Ming asked them to move aside so as not to affect the picture.

Taking pictures without people at this time was a luxury behavior, and it was also a color photo. But Han Sanping, who was in the film industry, understood him. It was too beautiful. This place was too suitable for filming movies, and it would definitely be especially effective.

It was indeed effective. In the future, Jet Li and Tony Leung had a fight here in "Hero," and Zhang Dahu's "Return of the Condor Heroes" also took scenes here. This place was called Arrow Bamboo Sea.

Calling lakes "seas" seemed to be a tradition in the southwest. The little girl Zhuoma also introduced them to lakes like Rhinoceros Sea, Reed Sea, Swan Sea, Mirror Sea, etc.

Because Wei Ming was attracted by the beautiful scenery along the way and took many photos, and helped a few humans take some photos when the scenery was average, it was already a bit late when they walked to the destination, and the film crew was finishing work.

This was a fighting scene without Biaozi. He had the identity of the big boss, but his acting skills were average, so his scenes were few and critical. He was mainly accompanying his girlfriend.

Two months of life away from Yanjing and acquaintances made their relationship develop rapidly. When Wei Ming came over, he saw from afar that Biaozi was gnawing on an apple that Yanzi had taken two bites of.

I don't know how far they had developed.

The first to discover someone approaching was Donnie Yen. He shaved his head, stuck on a braid, and played Biaozi's capable subordinate. Although he was a subordinate, he had many fighting scenes, especially with Yanzi, who played the little daughter-in-law, belonging to Biaozi's key monitoring target.

However, Donnie Yen was a magnitude lower than Biaozi, and his acting was very disciplined. On the contrary, Wu Jing, that kid, relied on his young age to often ask Sister Yanzi to hug and lift him high, making Biaozi blow his beard and stare, but he was helpless.

"Brother Ming, it seems Brother Ming is here?" Donnie Yen shouted. Biaozi, who was eating an apple with Yanzi, immediately stood up from the ground. Just now he was squatting in front of Yanzi.

"Where, where?!"

It had been almost two months since they last met. Biaozi missed his Brother Ming to death. He immediately stuffed the remaining apple into Yanzi's mouth, ran over, and gave Wei Ming a bear hug.

He was already strong, and for the role, he gained weight and muscle, like a black bear. This hug was no joke. Long Xiaoyang was worried that his cousin would squeeze his lunch out by this giant.

However, Wei Ming wasn't a pushover either. For the sake of his future sexual happiness, he never dared to slack off in exercising his body. He saw him with a calm expression, stretched his fingers to Biaozi's armpit, and poked hard.

"Ah~" Biaozi groaned and immediately broke his skill, letting go of Wei Ming.

Wei Ming asked with a smile: "How is it, how is the filming life."

"What filming, I haven't acted much, just doing odd jobs." He said it with a smile, clearly not feeling bitter.

Martial arts director Yuen Cheung-yan walked over: "How can that be, you also participated in designing the actions. Many of Danny's actions were designed by Ah Biao, very ruthless and powerful."

Donnie Yen nodded on the side. He felt that Brother Biao still had martial arts directing talent.

Biaozi waved his hand modestly. He just read Wei Ming's original work thoroughly and had more insights into these few villain roles, so he designed some ruthless moves.

Afterward, Wei Ming chatted with the two directors Xu Xiaoming and Yang Qitian, as well as the male and female leads Yanzi and Jingzi for a while, and introduced Han Sanping, a helper from the Emei factory, to them.

However, Wei Ming noticed Yanzi's posture and demeanor when walking. It was wrong, very wrong. It felt like the transformation Sister Lin completed after spending the night at his house for the first time.

Could it be...

Wei Ming looked at Biaozi and decided to have a long talk with him all night.

Dinner was ordinary big pot rice. This time, to welcome the arrival of Wei Ming and Han Sanping, some meat was specifically added.

However, Biaozi evaluated it as not as good as instant noodles.

"Brother Ming, these Hong Kong people brought a lot of instant noodles. You might not have seen them. I won some from them before. It was so fragrant. I'll get some more from them later."

Instant noodles were what Biaozi considered good things. Actually, it was just that several Hong Kong martial arts masters were worried about not eating well in the mainland and specifically brought them. Actually, there weren't many left, and they cherished them very much.

Wei Ming said calmly: "You want to eat? I'll have my pen pal in Hong Kong send some later. It's not anything valuable."

"Not valuable?" Biaozi asked. They were bragging that it was very high-end.

Wei Ming: "Generally, the low-income class uses this kind of simple and convenient instant noodles to satisfy their hunger because they don't have time to cook or think the restaurant is too expensive. Of course, because the taste is good, it's definitely better than dried noodles."

Biaozi had an expression of his worldview shattering. This, this kind of good thing turned out to be for the poor to eat!

Then the poor in Hong Kong are too happy!
