Director, please respect yourself

It’s seven o’clock in the evening and it’s not completely dark yet!

Yang Hao drove his Grand Cherokee to Juren Village in Lingshui. He parked the car in front of the abandoned primary school, pulled his luggage and carried his bag, and arrived at the entrance of a small courtyard.

This small courtyard is separated by two alleys from the courtyard where Gu Zhenwei and Jiang Wenli live, and the courtyard where the lead actor Zhang Ziyi lives. Such an arrangement is actually understandable when you think about it. The actors are in the crew, so they have to do it no matter what. It's a bit of privacy, isn't it?

Just like the small courtyard where Gu Zhanwei lives, although it looks shabby from the outside, in fact, it has been renovated inside, and even an air conditioner was temporarily installed in the main room.

Taking his luggage with him, Yang Hao came to his residence. He walked around and found that it was not bad. At least the bed here was quite strong and the furniture made of old elm wood looked relatively solid.

Unlike the Hejingyuan community where she lives now, the bed is so loud that it's scary, otherwise Nini wouldn't like to lie on the floor and play every time.

After taking the clothes out of the suitcase, hanging them up, and taking a shower in the bathroom, Yang Hao was about to go to the kitchen to get something to eat, when Gu Shunwei's call came.

"Yang Hao..."

"Um?"

"coming?"

"coming!"

"Are you going to the set for dinner, or are you coming to my house for drinks?"

"Director Gu, does the crew have food?" Yang Hao asked.

"have!

Although the filming has not officially started, our crew still has meals as usual. Oh, by the way, the canteen where the crew cooks is the small courtyard facing the street at the east end of the village.

The entrance of the small courtyard faces south, and diagonally opposite is a large well. The wellhead is built with four large stone strips. "

"oh…"

Yang Hao responded and said, "Director Gu, I won't bother you anymore. I'll just go to the crew cafeteria to eat."

When we arrived, the sun was setting.

At this moment, it was already dark.

Maybe the crew installed street lights in this abandoned mountain village for filming purposes.

Under the dim street lights.

Walking along the ups and downs of the alley has a unique flavor.

After turning around two alleys and crossing a street, Yang Hao finally found the small courtyard that Gu Zhanwei mentioned.

There are five lamps at the entrance of the small courtyard, and there are more than a dozen tables placed under the lamps. Many people are sitting on the tables to have dinner.

"Hello, Director Yang!"

A young handsome guy with sharp eyes saw Yang Hao coming from a distance, stood up and greeted him.

"Who are you?"

"Iliqi graduated from the Film Academy and played the role of a village weasel in the movie "The Favorite"."

"Oh... Hello, senior brother."

Yang Hao took two quick steps and shook hands with him.

As a result, other crew members or extras who were eating all stood up and greeted Yang Hao.

"Hello, Director Yang!"

"Director Yang, I've seen your commercial film "4X4", it's really awesome!"

"Director Yang, you can make money by singing, and several of your English songs are currently ranking well on the American Billboard music charts. Why don't you pursue your success and develop in foreign music circles?"

"Director Yang, I had the honor to follow the director and watch the movie "Hawthorn Tree Love" starring you. Damn... I have to say that your performance was great, especially the scene where the third child was lying on the hospital bed when he was dying. , almost made me cry.

At that time, director Gu Zuowei told director Zhang Yimou that Yang Hao had acting skills and that he would be the leading actor in "The Favorite". "

…

Faced with compliments and enthusiastic greetings, Yang Hao didn't say much. He smiled and shook hands with those who were close to him, and bowed to those who were further away.

Anyway, it’s just one sentence. These staff members and extras must not be allowed to find fault, saying that Yang Hao has become arrogant before he is famous!

Compared with other small courtyards, the area used as a canteen is much larger. The main room alone has four rooms, while the place where Yang Hao lives has only three rooms.

Two large pots were placed in the yard, perhaps because they were afraid of rain while cooking. The two large pots were also covered with open sheds. Well... the so-called open sheds are used to store wood and agricultural tools in rural yards. There is a roof but no walls, only a few pillars supporting it.

In this way, it can not only prevent rainwater from being infiltrated, but also provide ventilation everywhere.

The chefs in the crew are good, one male and one female. Although I don’t know yet how good they are at cooking, they are absolutely clean when cooking, because this can be seen from their clothes.

Perhaps hearing the noise outside the door, the fat female chef helped Yang Hao get a meal early and put it on the stove.

"Director Yang, today's meal is winter melon stewed vermicelli. I wonder if you can get used to it?"

"How can you not get used to it?"

Yang Hao asked with a smile.

"You must know that I am also a child from the countryside. I ate this kind of thing when I was a child. Throw large pieces of fatty meat into the pot, add some soy sauce and stir-fry for a while. Then add water and winter melon and stew vigorously until the meat feels like large pieces. Just add large chunks of winter melon, then put the vermicelli into the pot, um... the taste is so fragrant!"

The two cooks were a little surprised.

Damn... this director is awesome. He hasn't even eaten the winter melon stew yet. He can tell at a glance how he made it.

Yang Hao smiled and ignored their surprised expressions. He took the bowl and chopsticks and grabbed two large steamed buns from the basket. Then he lowered his head slightly and walked out of the open shed.

There was a table and a mat at the entrance of the small courtyard, but Yang Hao was not going to sit there. Instead, he took the bowl and came under the telephone poles, squatted down directly, leaned his back against the telephone poles, and ate deliciously. stand up.

Seeing this, one of the staff members who was eating muttered something casually.

"I thought Yang Hao was not like those actors just now, but now I see that he is no different from those people. He also despises us from the bottom of his heart. No, he would rather squat and eat by himself than come over and sit with us."

But as soon as the extra finished speaking, a staff member immediately scolded him.

"You are blind, didn't you see that Director Yang is experiencing the role?"

"Well…"

The staff member was right. Yang Hao was holding a bowl and squatting under the telephone pole to eat, really looking for a feeling.

Zhao Deyi fell ill with a fever and was disliked by the villagers like a dog. He was not allowed to stay at home and was thrown directly into the abandoned village primary school at the head of the village to die.

It is impossible not to feel alienated from the villagers in his heart. He wants to get close but cannot, and wants to hate them, but those are the villagers who have watched him grow up.

Yang Hao was eating while feeling the role. Suddenly, someone came next to him. She also came with a bowl. When she came to Yang Hao, she squatted down and leaned hard towards him.

Well…

Sister Zhang Ziyi, don’t you feel warm when you are so close to me?

But before she could say anything, Zhang Ziyi slammed her bowl in this direction.

“My assistant’s cooking may not be as delicious as yours, but it can definitely beat the two chefs here in an instant.

Come, try it, braised mackerel, absolutely fresh. "

"Haha, forget it." Yang Hao smiled and refused.

"These days when I go to Hong Kong Island and Thailand, I eat seafood until I vomit. Now that I'm here in Beijing, it's just a change of taste."

"Um…"

Seeing that Yang Hao refused to eat, Zhang Ziyi stopped trying to persuade him. He picked up a large piece of fish with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth to chew.

"Director Yang..."

"Um?"

"The two of us have several passionate scenes in this movie. I'm afraid that I won't be able to handle it well when I act. How about I go to the small courtyard where you live to rehearse tonight?"
