Chapter 437
"Uncle Wei Jiefang, are you home, Uncle?"
Someone came to the door late at night. Lao Lao Lao Wei thought to himself, what's up? We didn't finish chatting all night yesterday and all day today?
Opening the door: "Yo, Zhuzi, what's up?"
"Uncle Wei Jiefang, that ca-, ca-what-you-call-it you gave us to drink yesterday?"
"Coffee," Lao Lao Lao Wei said very stylishly.
"Right, right, right, that coffee. Do you have any more? Tomorrow I have to use a mule to transport timber, and I have to work until very late. My old mule is old and falls asleep when the time comes, so I thought about using this coffee to refresh it. This thing is really useful. I didn't sleep all night last night!" Zhuzi laughed simply and honestly.
Lao Lao Lao Wei was immediately angry when he heard this: "Can you be a bit nicer to your mule or horse? If it wants to sleep when the time comes, let it sleep. Why are you torturing it? And you think this is your family's porridge? The two cups you drank yesterday cost at least several yuan."
"Ah, it's that expensive!" Hearing this, the leg Zhuzi had stepped into the courtyard automatically retreated. However, he felt that it was so fragrant in this courtyard. What delicious food was being made again?
At dinner time in the evening, Qi Cousin Qi Delong automatically came to his uncle's house for a free meal, this time also holding his one-and-a-half-year-old younger brother Qi Dongqiang.
"Uncle, why did you stew such a big pot of meat!" Qi Cousin Qi Delong was surprised. It wasn't that his uncle's family couldn't afford it, but they shouldn't be able to finish it, right? Could it be for him to bring to his parents?
Lao Lao Lao Wei laughed: "Isn't the college entrance examination tomorrow? I'm preparing to provide a lunch for the candidates in our village. You come with me tomorrow morning to feel the atmosphere of the college entrance examination in advance."
"Is there food?"
"Nonsense, stewed meat is enough!"
"Okay, then I'll go!"
After eating, Xu Xu Shufen also let Qi Cousin Qi Delong bring some back for his parents.
Since Wei Ming started doing educational charity in his hometown, the atmosphere of learning among the children in the village had become stronger and stronger. Several children who originally planned to take the technical secondary school exam later all took the high school exam.
Because for high school and college, the scholarship Wei Ming gave was higher.
This year, Gouzitun produced five college entrance examination candidates. Lao Lao Lao Wei, as the honorary principal of the village primary school, generously proposed to provide exam meals for the students, which won the praise of all the villagers, and some even shouted for him to come back and take the positions of branch secretary and brigade leader.
Enjoying the loving gaze of the villagers, Lao Lao Lao Wei and Qi Cousin Qi Delong drove the two donkey carts, Xiao Erhei and Xiao Qin, to the county seat before dawn.
On one cart were the students, and on one cart were breakfast and lunch. On the cart, Lao Lao Lao Wei also told the students stories from outside and taught the students to be like Brother Wei Ming, "to be concerned about the affairs of state before others, and to enjoy the fruits of success after others," and to be a person useful to society, the era, and the world.
Hong Kong.
It was also early in the morning, before dawn. Wei Ming went downstairs and knocked on the door of Zhou Zhou Huimin's house, picking her up from home.
It was time to officially film. A-Min wanted to go over to take a look and help everyone buy some tea and water. Xiao Hong didn't go; she had to stare at the stock market to see if she could earn back the money she lost today.
When Wei Ming and Zhou Zhou Huimin arrived at Wedding Card Street, Zhang Zhang Yimou and Feng Feng Xiaoning had already arrived and brought all the shooting equipment. It was Liangzi who drove them over.
During the filming, the van Wei Ming bought first became an important transportation tool.
Wei Ming said: "Today, let's shoot the room on the female lead's side first."
Before long, Xu Xu Jinjiang also arrived, and according to Wei Ming's instructions, he brought several pigeons, live ones.
"A-Min, wait here for the actors and makeup artists. Old Zhang, let's go, let's release the pigeons."
Wei Ming needed a shot of a pigeon flying over the space between the two buildings, which happened when the gun went off.
Zhang Zhang Yimou was downstairs, and Wei Ming and Xu Xu Jinjiang were responsible for releasing the pigeons. As a result, they didn't succeed.
Xu Xu Jinjiang put his body into action, climbed to the roof to release the pigeons. He wanted to make the 10,000 yuan Wei Ming gave worth more than the price.
As a result, as soon as the cage was opened, five or six pigeons flew in the opposite direction and didn't appear in the sky between the two buildings at all, failing to achieve the effect Wei Ming wanted.
Zhang Zhang Yimou helplessly put away the camera, and there was some pity. Those were fat and tender meat pigeons, and they all flew away!
Wei Ming asked Xu Xu Jinjiang: "Does anyone in Hong Kong play with carrier pigeons?"
"Yes, yes, I think."
Wei Ming: "Then find someone who owns carrier pigeons tomorrow and borrow some from there. Carrier pigeons are relatively more obedient."
Seeing Xu Xu Jinjiang's troubled look, it was clear that he definitely didn't have connections in this regard. Wei Ming said: "You don't need to find them. I'll let the producer find them."
"Our crew still has a producer?" Xu Xu Jinjiang was a bit surprised.
Wei Ming: "It's Ms. Miss Li Zhi whom you saw that day."
After finishing filming in the morning, he had to call her. She had been in Hong Kong for so long and was the aunt's person. Maybe she would have connections in this regard.
When they came down from upstairs, the female lead Xia Wenxi was already putting on makeup. While putting on makeup, she was chatting with Zhou Zhou Huimin. The makeup artist was putting on makeup according to the concept map Wei Ming gave, and she was also complaining: "The materials used are too many. Putting on makeup for one person is equal to putting on makeup for several others, whether it's materials or time."
Zhou Zhou Huimin hurriedly said: "But it's really special and unforgettable."
Makeup artist asked: "Director, is the face o-ok?"
Wei Ming made an OK gesture, and the makeup artist said: "Take off your clothes, start putting on makeup on the body."
Xia Wenxi was going to take off her clothes generously, and Zhou Zhou Huimin hurriedly wanted to push Wei Ming out.
As a result, the makeup artist said again: "This pattern of yours is a bit difficult to handle. It's too complicated, and I'm not a painter. How can I do it? It's estimated that it will be noon by the time it's done."
That won't do. Wei Ming wanted to shoot in the morning.
Makeup artist: "Why don't you paint together, Director? It can speed it up a bit."
Xia Wenxi glanced at Zhou Zhou Huimin. She didn't care; she was just afraid the little girl would be jealous.
A-Min was more than jealous; she was almost going crazy. So was A-Ming going to see another woman's body?
He hadn't seen mine yet!
Wei Ming was of course the best candidate. The pattern was designed by him, and it wasn't designed randomly, nor was it a copy of the original version, but many traditional Chinese cultural symbols were added to the female lead's body.
For example, Sanxingdui elements, calligraphy elements, and red elements. Wei Ming painted very detailedly, and the design was also very visually beautiful. The female lead often appeared in underwear to show it off.
Under A-Min's worried gaze, Wei Ming called Xu Xu Jinjiang over: "I'm not a painter, but this one is a real painter, and he is a descendant of a famous master. Master Guan Shanyue is his teacher."
Because Guan Shanyue was deeply rooted in Lingnan, he had high popularity even in Hong Kong, not only holding art exhibitions in Hong Kong many times but also being hired as an external committee member by the Chinese University of Hong Kong this year. Saying it out could still bluff people. At least the makeup artist knew him.
Wei Ming also sought Xia Wenxi's opinion. She also had no opinion. Originally, she and Xu Xu Jinjiang had many close-combat scenes, so what was there to be embarrassed about.
On the contrary, Xu Xu Jinjiang was shy for a while. He didn't study Western painting, so he hadn't painted human bodies. When Xia Wenxi undressed in front of him, he was shamefully aroused.
Outside the room, Wei Ming was recalling and searching. Old Xu and Xia Wenxi were famous in the industry, and Old Xu had an excellent reputation, having collaborated with Shu Qi, Lee Li-chen, Veronica Yip, Amy Yip, Veronica Yip, and Pauline Chan, but it seemed he really hadn't collaborated with Xia Wenxi. I don't know if the two would have sparks.
"Hey, what are you thinking about?" Zhou Zhou Huimin waved her hand in front of Wei Ming.
"Of course I'm thinking about the next shooting." Wei Ming said righteously.
With the addition of Xu Xu Jinjiang, the full-body makeup was completed quickly. His work was even better than the makeup artist's.
Wei Ming: "Okay, now Brother Jiang, take off your shirt, lie on the bed and help guest star."
"Ah, are there other people in this room?"
"That's right, someone who spent the night with a girl. Don't look for anyone else. You can do more work."
"Then I'll turn my back. Don't film me."
"It doesn't matter. Turn around. If it's filmed, it can be cut."
However, Xu Xu Jinjiang still blocked his face with his arm, but Wei Ming secretly said to Zhang Zhang Yimou: "Film Brother Jiang's face later, but you don't need to film it too clearly."
In the room opposite, the male lead and female lead, in this room, were actually also the male lead and female lead.
Xia Wenxi appeared with makeup. The upper body only had a bra. Her first shot was putting on makeup in front of the mirror. Suddenly she heard something, turned her head, and the purple lipstick slid past the corner of her mouth...
After the morning ended, the scenes in this scene were considered finished. In fact, there was only one minute of content for the final film.
At first, Xia Wenxi was still herself, not outgoing enough, not like a little gangster girl enough. After being tortured by Wei Ming over and over again, she finally became unlike herself.
Zhou Zhou Huimin helped everyone settle lunch, and in the afternoon, they continued. Xia Wenxi's scenes in this scene were basically finished.
Wei Ming let her hide, and let Xu Xu Jinjiang stand by the window with his shirt off, letting Zhang Zhang Yimou film him in the building opposite.
This made Xu Xu Jinjiang a bit confused. Fortunately, he wasn't Tony Leung. Tony Leung hated directors who didn't have a script and didn't explain the story clearly the most. Xu Xu Jinjiang was very cooperative, acting as told.
Then Wei Ming let Xu Xu Jinjiang put on clothes and run to the next door. Xia Wenxi stood by the window. Wei Ming wanted to shoot a picture of the two in the same frame through the window.
In the afternoon, Wei Ming let Xia Wenxi run to the male lead's side and lie in the blood, playing the victim on that side.
Both of them did it in doubt.
Before finishing work in the afternoon, Miss Li Zhi drove to the set, wearing sunglasses, a white top and pants, appearing very capable and mature.
Zhou Zhou Huimin stared at the other party. Miss Li Zhi smiled and greeted the little girl, then went over to talk to Wei Ming.
"I have already found someone who can provide pigeons. How many do you want?"
Wei Ming: "Are there twenty?"
"No problem. Use it tomorrow morning?" she asked again.
"Hmm, tomorrow morning, still this place."
"Okay," Miss Li Zhi said again, "I helped you with such a big favor. Do you want to do me the honor of having dinner together tonight?"
Wei Ming: "What do you mean by helping me? You are the company's legal representative and also the producer of this short film. This is what you should do. But dinner can be eaten. What to eat tonight?"
