Chapter 447

"Who are you looking for?" a bearded man with glasses shouted at the sneaky-looking Feng Xiaogang.

"Comrade, I am from the 'Spring of the Sheep Class' crew, here to report to Wei Laoshi Ming." Feng Xiaogang straightened his clothes.

Although his image was a bit poor, this outfit made Mi Jiashan reduce his defenses.

"Oh, follow me." Mi Jiashan led Feng Xiaogang to the guest house, and they exchanged names.

Mi Jiashan said his name, but Feng Xiaogang didn't know it; when he said the film "Song in the Whirlpool" that he wrote, Feng Xiaogang immediately "Oh" and said: "Pan Hong played in it, right!"

Mi Jiashan nodded, a touch of pride appearing at the corner of his mouth: Pan Hong, my wife!

Since his debut, Pan Hong had appeared in many works such as "Daughter of a Slave," "Smile of a Troubled Person," and "Sunset Through the Clouds"; although her influence couldn't be called top-tier, she could be considered a second-tier star, and she could be considered the number one sister in this Emei Film Studio.

I'm afraid Feng Xiaogang couldn't imagine even if he broke his head that Pan Hong's husband was this unremarkable bearded man in front of him.

Of course, the bearded man was not an ordinary person; although he didn't have any masterpieces in the Emei Film Studio now, his family background was prominent, and his father was once the number one leader in Chengdu, with a position higher than Han Sanping's father (deputy mayor of a prefecture-level city).

Because both were second-generation and both were in the Emei Film Studio, he and Han Sanping had a good relationship, and his wife wanted him to find Han Sanping to see if there were any roles suitable for her in Wei Ming's movie.

At this moment, Han Sanping was listening to Chen Kaige talking eloquently, while Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaoning on the side listened honestly, occasionally able to interject a word.

Seeing Mi Jiashan bring someone over and saying he was from the "Spring of the Sheep Class" crew, several people were a bit surprised.

Chen Kaige said: "Which unit are you from? I've never heard of it."

"I was borrowed by Wei Laoshi from the army; my name is Feng Xiaogang." Saying this, Feng Xiaogang took out a pack of Da Qianmen from his pocket and started distributing cigarettes.

Hearing this name, Chen Kaige laughed and looked at Feng Xiaoning: "Xiaoning, this is your brother, right."

Feng Xiaoning looked at Feng Xiaogang, very much wanting to say that it was impossible for him to have such an ugly brother, but one thing to say, their face shapes were still somewhat similar, but Feng Xiaoning, who couldn't be called handsome, actually looked a bit delicate in front of Feng Xiaogang.

Zhang Yimou introduced the three of them and asked: "Then which part are you responsible for?"

Feng Xiaogang said: "I was responsible for art in the army before."

Chen Kaige laughed even more happily: "Xiaoning, same job as you, and you still say you aren't brothers."

Feng Xiaogang immediately stepped forward and held Feng Xiaoning's hand: "Brother Xiaoning, we are destined; from now on, you are my own brother!"

Defecting to Wei Ming didn't count; he also wanted to bind himself to the art master in the movie, which was also the important film position he could get his hands on most easily.

Feng Xiaoning smiled awkwardly but politely, while shouting in his heart: Melon-headed, let go of me!

After a while, Wei Ming came back and saw Feng Xiaogang: "Xiaogang is here; you all know each other, right."

"We know each other, we know each other." Then Han Sanping introduced Mi Jiashan to Wei Ming; Mi Jiashan was also an art designer in the Emei Film Studio, and he also wrote scripts himself; next, the Emei Film Studio was preparing to cultivate him as a director.

Including Han Sanping, both of them were going to the Film Academy to study directing next year.

Without Han Sanping's introduction, Wei Ming also knew Mi Jiashan's background, so he was very enthusiastic and asked: "Old Mi, are you also willing to join my team?"

With him here, at least coordinating various units would save time and effort.

Actually, Old Mi didn't have such a strong desire; the deputy director and art designer were already in the group, and the script was also Wei Ming's responsibility; where would he have a place to use his skills?

However, for Pan Hong's sake, he still smiled: "Then Wei Laoshi, just arrange any errand for me; anyway, I have nothing to do recently."

"Knowing that you have comprehensive abilities, then the set design will be yours; I'll give you a director assistant title, and we can discuss the script together; is that okay?"

Mi Jiashan nodded; just as he was about to ask about the heroine, Zhang Yimou couldn't wait to show Wei Ming the photos they took in Xinjin County; county town, townships, and villages were all captured.

The villages in Xinjin had no special features; Wei Ming was not too satisfied and wanted to see more, but the county town was okay.

Wei Ming said: "Follow me back to my grandmother's house tomorrow; the scenery in Ya'an is also not bad."

Afterward, Han Sanping helped Feng Xiaogang arrange housing; before returning to his room, Wei Ming went to see Xiao Hong; the child was looking at TOEFL materials.

"Hi, bro, you're back; did you find the little aunt!"

Wei Ming laughed and flicked her on the head: "How could it be that fast."

Even if the household registration information had been entered into the computer, it was not so easy to find someone who met the conditions; it would take some time.

Sometimes finding relatives also depends on the development of technical power; in the future, technology will be able to identify children through facial scanning of parents; not to mention precise identification, at least it can narrow the scope.

This time Wei Ming probably just got a range, and the rest would have to be screened by himself.

"Going to grandmother's house tomorrow, and then you will live there for a period of time; we still have to go everywhere to scout locations; it's not very convenient to bring a girl like you."

"Hmm, okay." Wei Hong could also understand.

However, the next day it rained heavily in Chengdu, a torrential rain.

Wei Ming looked out the window: "Forget it, can't go out."

Now it was still the rainy season in Sichuan, and Ya'an had even more rain.

Han Sanping said worriedly: "I hope there won't be as much rain as last year."

The great flood last year still made many people in Sichuan and Chongqing have lingering fears, and when talking about last year's flood, everyone looked at Wei Ming; even the talented and arrogant Chen Kaige was a bit impressed; that was more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars in foreign exchange.

Wei Ming: "It shouldn't be that bad, but after the rain, I'm afraid the traffic in many mountain villages will be a bit troublesome."

"That's right, I'm afraid the jeep won't be able to pass." Zhang Yimou said; filming a movie requires transporting a lot of equipment.

Wei Ming looked at Han Sanping: "Old Han, does the Emei Film Studio have motorcycles?"

"I have one." Mi Jiashan raised his hand.

Han Sanping: "The studio doesn't have any, but some private individuals do."

Next, they saw Mi Jiashan's motorcycle in the workshop, which was the famous Jia Ling brand of the future.

It's just that Jia Ling was just cooperating with Japan's Honda now, and the joint venture car with better performance hadn't been put into production yet; Mi Jiashan was riding the CJ50 light motorcycle independently developed by the Jia Ling factory a few years ago.

In Wei Ming's view, this thing was more like the electric car of later generations, appearing relatively thin.

However, this kind of light motorcycle was too easy to sell in Chongqing; after all, the terrain in Chongqing was undulating, and there was no market space for bicycles at all.

Chen Kaige said: "This thing's load-bearing capacity isn't very good, right."

Mi Jiashan: "It's hard to carry things that are too heavy, but it's no difficulty for me to carry my wife; oh, my wife is Pan Hong, about a hundred pounds."

Wei Ming: Sister Xue is only ninety pounds.

Hearing this, Feng Xiaogang's small eyes widened; his wife? Pan Hong? Just him!?

He secretly noted: Filming a movie can marry a female star!

Zhang Yimou was very indifferent; what is Pan Hong; know about Gong Xue in the south and Zhu Lin in the north; it has nothing to do with me.

Wei Ming tried riding it in the spacious workshop; it was indeed very light and portable, and the power was also okay.

When the rain got smaller, he even went for a turn outdoors and tried some complex terrain.

Finally, he decided: "Are there any more of these motorcycles for sale in Chengdu? I want to buy a batch for the crew."

The price of this kind of motorcycle was not expensive, less than a thousand yuan each; with Wei Ming's funds, he could fully afford it.

Of course, the Emei Film Studio had to be responsible for the gasoline part, mainly in the quota.

Mi Jiashan immediately helped Wei Ming contact them; later he learned that there were only three left in the store in Chengdu; knowing that Wei Ming needed them, the manager said he could apply to transfer goods from the Chongqing general factory.

Wei Ming was the image of a great good person in the hearts of the people of Sichuan.

Wei Ming said: "Take all three of these first; besides, bring seven more to make it a round number."

The next day, three motorcycles arrived, and the rain stopped; Han Sanping knew how to drive, so he drove the studio's jeep with Feng Xiaoning, Mi Jiashan, Chen Kaige, and Wei Hong, and a lot of luggage.

Wei Ming, Zhang Yimou, and Feng Xiaogang rode motorcycles and headed straight for Wei Ming's grandmother's house; the sun was just right that day, giving these young people under thirty a sense of excitement that the world was big and they could roam it.

Feng Xiaogang on the motorcycle rode the slowest, hanging at the end looking at the jeep and motorcycle in front, feeling in his heart: Filming a movie is really good!

This time not only were they going to Ya'an and Baoxing, but several beautiful villages that were quite famous in Sichuan were also their targets for scouting.

In addition, Jiuzhaigou was also within Wei Ming's consideration, but because the scenery was a bit excessively beautiful, he hesitated whether to put it in the movie; it was too fairy-like, and he hoped to film the movie beautifully, but didn't hope to film it into a scenery film.

They couldn't reach grandmother's house in one day; in the middle, they spent a night in Pujiang County, refueled, and also ate Pujiang kiwifruit here.

In principle, the closer the location was to Chengdu, the better, so that if any problems arose, or if any supplies were transported, it would be much more convenient.

For example, the Beijing Film Studio's "Xu Mao and His Daughters" was filmed in Jianyang County around Chengdu.

However, the closer the place was to the political and cultural center, the less it had its own characteristics, feeling like it lacked a bit of soul, just like Wei Ming's hometown in Hebei.

The next day, they finally arrived in Baoxing County, Ya'an.

Han Sanping, who was driving in front, stopped in front of a large bridge and shouted excitedly to the motorcycles behind: "Look, Wei Ming Bridge!"

They had arrived at the Qingyi River, and under everyone's strong request, they took a group photo at the stone tablet by the bridge.

Several people first went to the town where grandmother lived; for the convenience of transportation, the uncle and aunt built a feed factory in the town, but the family hadn't moved out of the village yet.

"Brother, Xiao Hong!" Long Xiaoyang had just sent off a mule cart pulling feed, and then was surprised to see such a group of people, with cars and motorcycles!

Wei Ming said: "Is there a place to eat in town? Let's fill our stomachs first."

"Okay, I'll take you to a private restaurant; the taste is quite good."
