Chapter 938 On the Grassland

The Jiangnan Kunqu Opera Troupe's performance in Xiangjiang was even more successful than the last time.

In particular, Liu Xiaolingtong's monkey performance was astonishing, as the monkeys acted like gods.

But no matter how good your play is, no matter how popular it is, you can't keep performing it forever. Without new plays, the status will only decline. Not to mention, how can the local theater troupe in Hong Kong still eat?

So after performing for a month, in early July, they said goodbye to Yin Jun and returned to the mainland.

This time, thanks to the rising prices in Hong Kong, they earned 2 million Hong Kong dollars in one go, which is about 1 million yuan. It was a great harvest.

Because he was busy with his own affairs, Yin Jun only went to the farewell banquet and had a meal with them, which was considered as farewell.

Gao Hong and the others knew that Yin Jun was very busy, so they definitely wouldn't care.

On the contrary, Gao Hong was very emotional and happy.

Because the two little flowers of the Jiangnan Kun Opera Troupe have been appreciated by Yin Jun, they have now officially embarked on the path of the entertainment industry. Compared with this Kun Opera, which is so monotonous and a bit behind the times, the future is much brighter.

Another promising new star in the group, Liu Xiaolingtong, was also admired by Yin Jun. He was specially given to sit next to him at the farewell banquet, and the two of them joked and discussed the monkey show for a long time.

Coupled with the son-in-law Wei Xiaofan in the troupe, this way, the Jiangnan Kunqu Opera Troupe will have a solid foundation in the future, and will find an easier path in the great changes in the future.

To be honest, the earth-shaking changes in the mainland are making it difficult for people like Gao Hong, who claims to have "a vision in line with international standards," to understand.

She likes power very much and wants to keep climbing up, but the Jiangnan Kunqu Opera Theater is the place where she has been since she was a child, so of course she is not willing to let it sink.

If you want to find a new way out and have new development, I'm afraid it's not enough to rely on yourself and others. You have to rely on Yin Jun, a super entertainment industry boss, to be useful.

No, less than a year after we last saw each other, he actually acquired two major film companies in the United States. It's really amazing!

Speaking of the two little flowers, they were not as grateful to Yin Jun as Gao Hong was, but rather murmuring in their hearts.

The reason is simple. Their scenes in "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace" were completed in early July.

They had just returned from Hong Kong and were busy filming. They thought they could take a break, but the crew of "Shaolin Temple" invited them over to play two supporting female characters.

After half a month of hard work, I thought I could take a break now, right?

No, they had only stayed at senior sister Li Danmin's house for two days. Before they had time to play with their newborn nephew, brother-in-law Wei Xiaofan took them to Inner Mongu.

All right.

The two girls who came to Neimenggu for the first time were very happy at first.

As a result, she was bitten by mosquitoes on the first day and her arms and legs were swollen. Tao Huimin was so frightened that she started crying.

The same was true for the tent they lived in. Even though the two of them lived in one tent, it couldn't handle the smell of feces and urine from the surrounding cattle and sheep, as well as all kinds of inexplicable noises, which made Tao Huimin tremble while holding He Qin.

As a result, the two women did not have a good rest.

Starting from the second day, it was finally better during the day. Knowing how powerful they were, they not only put on long clothes and long trousers, but also sprayed a lot of mosquito repellent, and finally avoided the mosquitoes.

But at night, they still couldn't sleep well. No matter how prepared they were, they still felt a little nervous.

If it weren't for the herdsmen around them and the entire "Legend of the Condor Heroes" crew, they might have been able to keep the lights on until dawn at night.

He Qin plays the role of Princess Huazheng who has just grown up, while Tao Huimin plays the role of Princess Huazheng in her childhood.

Neither of them are main characters, but He Qin appears much more than Tao Huimin.

In order for Tao Huimin to play more roles, the crew also gave her two other small roles, which made Tao Huimin almost cry again.

The two people's scenes together lasted less than an hour, but they needed to stay on the set for a month. This was a number of days that made Tao Huimin desperate.

It was good for Wei Xiaofan. After leaving the two of them here, he went home to accompany his wife and son. The actors and students in the mainland were basically from Huajing, and they were very different in age. Naturally, they would not be the same. Too affectionate.

The two of them were basically strangers in the crew.

There was a boy named Gu Tianle who often came to play with Tao Huimin, but Tao Huimin felt that this little kid was just like a slut. She didn't really like such a naughty boy, so she ignored him.

Of course, they are said to be strangers, but both the producer and director of the film, Xiao Sheng, and the staff behind them, are very protective of the two women.

For example, Tao Huimin complained that the conditions were too difficult, so the crew specially solicited recipes from herders and smoked an herb in their tents, which not only gave a fresh fragrance, masked the odor, but also drove away mosquitoes.

But the price of this herb is not cheap. After hearing the purchase price, Tao Huimin quickly said no, no, no.

For another example, they were not used to the food on the grassland, so the crew specially bought them pork and vegetables from a small town more than 20 kilometers away to make light dishes.

To be honest, Xiao Sheng listened to Yin Jun's instructions and strictly ordered his team before coming. No one was allowed to do anything special. They all shared food and accommodation with the helpful tour guides, overseas Chinese offices, cultural units, and extras from the mainland. Otherwise, stay in Xiangjiang and don't come here.

As the number one gold medal producer in Xiangjiang, Xiao Sheng naturally has enough authority, and everyone is obedient.

As a result, people in Xiangjiang are not doing anything special yet, but two little girls are doing something special, which is really funny.

But even if Xiao Sheng heard it, he shrugged and pretended not to see it.

Not to mention that Wei Xiaofan brought them personally. Wei Xiaofan was more or less a first-class celebrity in Qilin. He definitely had face. Xiao Sheng and others would definitely take care of them, but he would never be so cautious.

The key is that everyone including Kylin TV knows that these two little aunts are Yin Jun’s very beloved little sisters. Both times he came to Xiangjiang, Yin Jun invited them to dinner, went shopping and chatted with them, and bought them clothes. of.

Not to mention the 15-year-old He Qin, who is already 160 centimeters tall and looks like a fairy.

Who can say for sure that she won’t become another boss lady?

If you piss off the little boss lady, how can you have a good life in the future?

Otherwise, how could Xiao Sheng, a busy person like him, specifically give Tao Huimin a few extra scenes?

In fact, it was not just He Qin and Tao Huimin who came, there were two to three hundred people sent from the mainland to the prairie to assist in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", especially the soldiers who played the role of the Mongolian army. With dispatch, thousands of people can be rushed here in half a day.

Xiao Sheng originally approved Wei Xiaofan, explaining that he wanted more than 20 excellent supporting actors, and a group of extras, or character actors without many lines, but it was best for these character actors to have some acting skills.

Fortunately for Wei Xiaofan, as soon as he went to the Huajing film and television circles to promote it, major colleges and major performing arts troupes immediately came to him, wanting to join the crew.

Even those roles that do not have any dialogues except for supporting actors will be fine, as long as their students or actors can participate.

Now in 1981, Jin Yong's novels have not yet spread in the mainland.

The most important thing for people now is to solve the problem of food and clothing. Where do they find the time to read novels?

It was not until the mid-to-late 1980s that urban people's basic food and clothing needs were met, and then they would have more cultural and spiritual needs. At that time, pirated martial arts novels from Hong Kong and Baodao would gradually become popular. Thus cultivating generations of martial arts novel fans.

So they didn't admire the popularity of Jin Yong's classic novels, it was purely because this was a TV station from Xiangjiang that came to film TV series, and they wanted to let their students or actors feel more about the way and atmosphere of other people's filming, so they sent them People came over.

Whether these people are supporting actors or extras, they will not leave immediately after the performance. Instead, they will stay on the set to see more. When their help is needed, this group of students and actors will also act as temporary coolies to carry things. Or lying on the ground as a corpse.

There were hundreds of them when they arrived, and they would follow them not only in the prairie, but also in Huashan, Jiangnan and other places.

For this reason, the crew's food and accommodation expenses have increased a lot.

But Xiao Sheng kept in mind what Yin Jun said about communicating more with mainland actors and production staff. Instead of paying attention, he ordered the catering to be prepared all day long. Big fish and meat were served, and they were guaranteed to be available at any time. .

In terms of accommodation, there is a maximum of one tent for every four people, and they will be given whatever they need. They are treated exactly the same as the actors in Xiangjiang.

Not to mention, this group of mainland students and actors were really embarrassed at the beginning.

Especially students, although they have to receive food stamps and wages at school, how can this little money be enough for them to eat? Not to mention that more than half of the people sent their money directly back to their hometowns and lived by counting the dozens of kilograms of food every day.

Even at the two best acting schools in China - Hua Opera and Jingying Film, their students have a very difficult life. It's not bad to see Yousun once a week.

Not to mention the students in 1981, even the students in the class of Xiao Mingge and Xiao Yanzi in the 1990s, if they could occasionally have a meal of beef and have a toothpaste, that would be called a good life.

It can be seen that the good life of ordinary people in China only slowly began after 2000.

Now in 1981, in such a prairie, the aroma of beef and mutton is wafting in the kitchen every day. You can eat it whenever you want. There is no limit to the fragrant rice and fist-sized beef and mutton. Why not? Excite these students?

Except for the first meal when they were embarrassed to eat too much, during the rest of the meal, they rushed to the cafeteria tent and bought a box of rice. They also specifically asked the chef to give them beef and mutton with extra fat, and ate it in big mouthfuls. His mouth was full of oil, which made the actors and staff here in Xiangjiang look a little dumbfounded: These guys were eating so viciously, weren't they just released?

Then, they became tragic.

After too much fat enters the stomach, many people have diarrhea for several days and can't even get up, which makes people laugh.

Although people on the other side of Xiangjiang would not smile with disdain, the smile that they found quite interesting still made the students feel very embarrassed and wished they could get into the grassland.

There are actors who are not much better than them. Being actors is just a job, and they don’t get any special treatment. Therefore, when they encounter delicious braised lamb, stewed beef, grilled lamb chops, etc., they will still be more excited. Eat some.

It's just that they know how to control themselves, so they don't make a fool of themselves.

However, after all, talking about the interesting things about the food of these mainland students and actors, the actors and staff in Xiangjiang still admire their serious attitude and professionalism in acting.

When Xiao Sheng saw it, he felt that the mainland was really full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers!

There are so many talents!
