Big players in the film and television world

Chapter 207 like a duck in water
"Soldier's Glory" is jointly produced by Red Star Film Studio and Huaxing Company. Needless to say, Red Star Film Studio has a long history and can be said to be the official old film organization of country H. Military dramas do not have the franchise of Red Star Film Studio. , can't be photographed at all.

Huaxing Company is the most popular film and television company nowadays, with countless stars under it, and the director is even more respected by Ye Gangpao. In order to get Huaxing Company's investment, Kang Zhuang had to talk a lot. Fortunately, the boss of Huaxing Company, Big Lao Wang He is also a fan of "Soldier Glory", so he agreed to invest.

The filming location of the army scenes is the 61st Group Army in the north. The prototype army of this novel, the 7895 Troop with a long history, is also called the Hammer Regiment.

Because of its long history, the barracks in the regiment are extremely backward, and they can be called the most backward in the entire army. They are the few remaining second-generation barracks. Now most of the troops have replaced them with third-generation barracks.

When the crew arrived at the Hammers, they received a warm welcome, because what they wanted to film was about this unit. Even if it was just a fiction, since the author was from this unit, they were all honored.

The barracks are in the third battalion and the seventh company. Because the seventh company is on duty this year, there are extra rooms vacant.

There are not too many people in the crew, because in the army, there is no need for extras at all. Those soldiers, non-commissioned officers and officers can be chosen at will. Anyway, Thunder Dragon is the commander of the third battalion.

Kang Zhuang and Lei Long went to the camp to talk about the upcoming shooting schedule. The rest of the crew began to place shooting equipment in the honor room. The actors all wore jungle camouflage to familiarize themselves with the environment and find their feelings.

For the infantry regiment, there are not many new ideas in training. The most basic subjects are five kilometers and 400-meter obstacles.

Su Ning, Chen Shuai and Wang Xiaoqiang walked up and down the Seventh Building together.

Compared with the environment of the Yanjing Army, the barracks of the Hammer Regiment are really backward, nothing.

There is a large water tank in the toilet, and there is a washbasin floating on the surface of the water. After squatting in the pit to use the large toilet, you need to scoop water to flush it yourself.

The 4th squad of the recruit company has four double iron frame beds, a wardrobe for two people under each bed, a large metal cabinet by the window, a drawer cabinet on the left hand wall after entering the door, two thermos bottles, and a washbasin stand in front. The same is true on the right side, except that there are three horizontal racks for toothbrush jars.

The familiar environment made Suning smile.

Chen Shuai said "Ah" with disbelief on his face. He came from a wealthy family and had never seen such a simple living environment. Especially the large iron cabinet and the double iron wardrobe were all rusty. Why not throw them away?
Suning said calmly: "Military supplies, as long as they are not bad, can be passed down year after year, just like family heirlooms. Maybe ten years from now, it will still be like this here."

Chen Shuai didn't dare to believe it: "Impossible?"

Wang Xiaoqiang is more interested in those quilts that are folded into tofu cubes and white sheets that are as flat as a board, because he can't fold them no matter how he folds them, and Chen Shuai is the same, only Suning, the quilts are cut out like a knife the same.

Chen Shuai squatted down, glanced at the cracks on the clean and shiny pebbles and cement floor, frowned and said, "Isn't this a dangerous house?"

Su Ning shook his head and said: "It's not a dilapidated building, do you think it's those scumbag projects? This is a house with a long history and absolutely no jerry-building. It can still be used for at least 20 years."

Chen Shuai stretched out his two fingers and touched the ground gently, then rubbed it with his thumb, stood up and said, "The ground is really clean, but it's a pity that the environment is so bad."

Suning laughed and scolded: "What do you think you are here to do? Enjoy your happiness."

At this time, Wang Xiaoqiang took out a small mat from under the bed and sat down. He didn't sit on the bed, not because he obeyed the rules of the army, but because he couldn't bear to destroy such a perfect internal affairs in his opinion.

Chen Shuai became a little thirsty as he spoke, walked to the wall cabinet on the left, shook the thermos bottle, found that there was still hot water, immediately took a disposable paper cup to a glass of water, turned around and asked, "Do you want to drink water?"

Suning and Wang Xiaoqiang shook their heads.

Chen Shuai walked to the big iron cabinet with a cup of hot water and smiled, and said lazily, "Drinking water every day is good for your health." He said, ready to drink water.

The upward arc of Suning's mouth was hard to hide.

Chen Shuai took a sip of hot water, frowned and said, "It's salty."

Su Ning nodded and smiled: "The water here is like this, and the water is at most 94 degrees, and it is not boiled, so you should drink mineral water."

Chen Shuai asked suspiciously: "How do you know? You have never been a soldier here."

Suning pointed to his head cheerfully and said with a smile: "We are different here. I rely on my brain to make a living. How could I not know this little thing?"

With a look of disbelief on Chen Shuai's face, he drank the cup of salty hot water in a fit of anger, and said with a crooked mouth: "Hammer hot water, so sweet."

Su Ning stopped talking, sat down with a ponytail, took out an acting book from his backpack, and read it carefully.

Being ignored, Chen Shuai felt slightly bored, and was about to open the window to let in the air, when he suddenly saw the radiator behind the big iron cabinet, and exclaimed, "Is this a radiator! I thought it was only on the TV."

"People in the city are so happy. They have never even seen a radiator." Suning pretended to be envious.

Chen Shuai rolled his eyes and said: "Tell me something human, your channel and I don't match up. By the way, how do you eat lunch? Are you working with the army?"

Su Ning took out his mobile phone to check the time, put away his books and stood up, put Maza back, and clapped his hands: "The army usually has restaurants, and this is the north, so the prices are cheap and good."

At the mention of eating, Wang Xiaoqiang and Chen Shuai also became hungry and nodded immediately.

After tidying up the room, the three of them walked out of the Seventh Company. On the left side of the road, there was a row of restaurants, which were the cooking teams of each company. The one at the end was the office cooking team, and three meters away was the guest house.

After walking more than ten meters, Wang Xiaoqiang suddenly stopped, looked at the boiling water room next to him, remembered the contents of the script, and said with a smile: "This is the boiling water room, so the inside is the boiler room of the barracks unit."

As he spoke, he pointed to the tall pile of crushed coal inside the wall.

Suning smiled and said: "That's where your role becomes more sublime, Coal Burner."

Chen Shuai took the opportunity to tease: "Why don't I have the opportunity to experience the feeling of burning coal?"

"one two three four!"

"one two three four!"

Just here, loud shouts sounded, and the sound of footsteps was like thunder.

"Let's go quickly, they are going to serve dinner." Suning immediately called Wang Xiaoqiang and Chen Shuai to the noodle shop.

"Soldier Glory" is too realistic, and the various locations of the Hammer Group can be speculated through the novel and script.

The service agency is in a large courtyard without trees. The courtyard is surrounded by a row of houses. The gate is an arched wall. When you enter, you will see a service agency.

Walking inside, there are several shops on the right and left, selling xiaolongbao, fried skewers, noodles, and a photo studio, which is indispensable for recharging phone bills and selling mobile phone cards. .

Next to the noodle restaurant is the boiler room where the bath water is boiled, and there is a pile of soot at the door, as well as various disposable shower gels, shampoos, and garbage from bathing supplies.

Chen Shuai walked over to take a look out of curiosity and was shocked.

The boiler, the coal-fired boiler, is huge and majestic, and extremely old.

Chen Shuai wondered, "It's too tiring to use a boiler to boil bath water, isn't it better to use gas?"

Suning chuckled and said, "This is Wenfeng Town in Lanzhou. It's so cheap to use coal, so why use gas."

At this time, in the room full of soot and dust without sunlight, a senior soldier walked out, looked at the three of Su Ning, and was not surprised, but said a little shyly: "It's dirty inside, so don't come in."

All the officers and soldiers of the Hammer regiment knew about the fact that the crew came to the regiment to film, and anyone who was not stupid could see it.

Su Ning had a military bearing, and handed a black blue state to the first class soldier who burned the boiler, and said with emotion: "It's not easy for you, the allowance is only less than 100 yuan, and if you are addicted to cigarettes, the allowance is not enough."

The corporal waved his hand and said he didn't smoke.

Looking at his handsome face, Su Ning thought he was from Zejiang, but he came here to serve as a soldier in the northern army, his face was tanned, and because of the boiler, his whole body was dirty.

In fact, there are special denim clothes for boilers in the barracks, but those clothes are not as comfortable as jungle camouflage.

After chatting with the senior soldier for a while, the three of them went into the noodle shop and ordered three bowls of fried noodles and a large portion of stewed pork cold dishes.

After paying, they took receipts and cold dishes, and they sat down at the table near the door, chatting and waiting.

Suning read the script, pointed at Wang Xiaoqiang and laughed: "Don't think too much, that's where you have to fight. After the recruits are assigned to the company, they will be transferred to the barracks unit to heat the radiator and hot water for the whole regiment."

To be honest, Suning really wanted to play Huang Zhong, but he was too imposing, not at all useless, and his acting skills were obviously insufficient, so he couldn't play the weak Huang Zhong at all.

Wang Xiaoqiang said with a silly smile, "It's much better than moving bricks at the construction site."

At this time, the oil-splashed noodles are also ready. After paying the receipt, the hot and fiery oil-splashed noodles will be served.

The noodles here are machine-pressed into thick noodles instead of the unique wide noodles of Youspian. It is not authentic, but it tastes good. It is very delicious with braised pork and cold dishes.

The three of them ate very enthusiastically because of their fatigue all the way.

The troops also rested on Saturdays and Sundays, but the procedures were more complicated. After preparations were completed in the morning, they spent most of the morning washing clothes and drying quilts, which was very busy.

Therefore, the noodle shop has little business now, but after afternoon, it will be overcrowded.

The next day, the crew officially started filming.

Suning didn't need to play the part of the recruit company at all.

If the director can still be called out for the real performance, Suning thinks that he can buy a piece of tofu and pretend to be dead. Wang Xiaoqiang and Chen Shuai are a little uncomfortable, and are often scolded by the director to learn from Suning.

Liu Dapeng has no time to bother Suning at the moment, because Suning doesn't remember the song "Brothers Forever" completely, and the composition is incomplete, so he needs to perfect it.

Photographic memory or something does not exist, this is the truth.

half a month later.

On the ladder of the obstacle course, Su Ning was lying peacefully, his calves were dangling, his eyes closed and he was thinking about something quietly. It is still very comfortable when there is no sun in June in the north, so his face is full of satisfaction.

His role in the Hammer Group has already been filmed, but there is still about half a month before the end of the role of the Hammer Group, so he got up to do nothing, reading and exercising became the three-point first-line thing. The soldiers in the company chatted with the non-commissioned officers and practiced physical fitness.

Because Suning has served as a non-commissioned officer and an officer, his natural temperament is easy to integrate into the team, and his physical fitness and military quality are excellent, which makes this platoon of officers and soldiers who are comparable to the Ninth Company of Sharp Swords extremely admired.

However, Chen Shuai has been a little abnormal recently, often calling secretly by himself, looking shameful.

I was also a little dazed when filming, and was scolded by Kang Zhuang more than once. Suning asked him what was the matter, but he didn't say anything.

Kang Zhuang has never engaged in two groups of AB and AB when making TV dramas, and this kind of pure military drama is not suitable. Therefore, more and more actors have been completed, and the actors of the main roles are very free.

The days passed in this boring way day by day.

For Chen Shuai, Suning has a little appreciation, but also a trace of disgust.

Chen Shuai's thinking was mixed with some dross, thinking that it was normal for a man to cheat, which made Suning dislike and loathe it.

But other than that, he and Chen Shuai still have a lot to talk about. Apart from morality, Chen Shuai still has many advantages for him to learn from.

Suning and Chen Shuai are quite close to each other, maybe because of the same purpose, they are both quite directors, not only TV drama directors, but also want to be movie directors.

Wang Xiaoqiang had never read any books, so listening to the conversation between the two was like listening to a book from heaven.

Because burning boilers is a technical job, the scenes of the recruit company and the next company were filmed first.

The scene of the exercise was left at the end, but there was no Suning, because his character, Kong Ergou, was taken away by Yuan Xiao, the squadron leader of the Sirius Brigade, just after he got off the company.

In recent days, we have been focusing on filming the scene where Wang Xiaoqiang burns the boiler, and the scene where he cleans up the messy pile of coal alone and affects the veterans and squad leader in the class.

Wang Xiaoqiang's role in burning the boiler has not yet ended, so he is covered in soot every day, not too dirty. Suning's role is mainly focused on the recruit company and the Sirius brigade, and Chen Shuai is similar, so they are very free now.

Suning's scenes are all played once, so he has the nickname Su Yiyi in the crew.

During this period, Suning, who has never given up on exercising, once ran a 400-meter obstacle, which directly broke the division's record and shocked the crew and everyone in the hammer group.

In this regard, Suning shook his head, mainly because this body has passed the age of growth, otherwise, if it is, he can guarantee that he can also break the world record.

However, this is not the key point, and his task is not here, so he just laughed it off.

When the sun broke through the dark clouds, Suning also jumped off the ladder. The ultraviolet rays of the northern sun were too strong. Even if he was not afraid of getting tanned, he did not want to suffer in vain.

Chen Shuai hid in the bomb crater as usual and smoked, because he was not the Hammer Regiment, and his actions were relatively secretive, and the officers and soldiers of the Hammer Regiment also turned a blind eye.

"Is what you said true? The Swan Group authorized the film and television copyright of "The World of Immortals" to Daren Company to shoot a TV series."

Chen Shuai's surprise sound suddenly came from the crater.

Su Ning was taken aback for a moment, unexpectedly Chen Shuai was still ruthless.

Chen Shuai has been paying attention to the information in the entertainment industry. He has been studying TV series just like Suning studies movies.Chen Shuai believes that it is best for novice directors to use TV dramas to practice their skills. It is not easy to lose money in the first place, and they can also withstand failure. .

As for word of mouth or something, don't care at all.

Therefore, Chen Shuai has been paying attention to the situation in the TV circle recently.

When there was news of the filming of "The World of Immortal Heroes", he has been paying attention to it, exhausting all his connections, even if he is on the set, his heart has already drifted elsewhere.

However, Chen Shuai's acting skills have not regressed. It is because of the degree of fit that he acts more smoothly, and the requirements for acting in TV dramas are not as high as in movies.

Suning walked to the edge of the crater and squatted down, looked down at Chen Shuai who was squatting against the wall, holding a cigarette and holding a mobile phone, and smiled wryly: "Why are you still so wicked, I didn't even tell you, in "The World of Immortals" Li Yifeng, the protagonist of the show, is not suitable for you at all, and you will not be selected."

Chen Shuai's inexplicable self-confidence was bursting again, he sucked the remaining cigarette under his body in one gulp, lightly exhaled the cigarette butt, hung up the phone and exhaled, proudly said: "That's you, I'm much more handsome than you, there must be a chance , If you don’t try, how will you know, even if you are not selected in the end, then you will have no regrets.”

Su Ning was speechless, and said helplessly, "It's up to you."

Chen Shuai raised his head to look at Su Ning with malicious intentions, and said with a smile: "Can you go with me, anyway, you have nothing to do."

Suning shook his head firmly and said, "I won't go."

He didn't know about Chen Shuai's petty thoughts, and wanted to make amends on himself.

Chen Shuai made a condition: "If you go with me, if you make a movie in the future, I will participate in it for free."

Suning immediately said: "We are friends, and it is my duty to audition with you."

Chen Shuai got carried away with complacency, closed his eyes and thought that Suning would accompany him in the audition for "The World of Immortal Heroes", which would better complement his handsomeness, so there would be a little more hope of success.

Also, even if he failed, someone would comfort him.

Kill two birds with one stone.

When Chen Shuai imagined that he would get the protagonist, Suning interrupted his fantasy and asked, "Are you going by car or by train?"

Chen Shuai took it for granted: "Naturally, I will go by car. I'm not used to taking the train. I'm a car owner. Why is the train crowded?"

Su Ning nodded, got up and said: "Forget it, anyway, I want to go back to see my sister, let's go tomorrow."

With great effort, Chen Shuai climbed out of the crater, stretched out his hand to hook Suning's shoulders, and said with great anticipation: "The protagonist, Li Yifeng, I am bound to win. Do you have a character you like? Go to an audition too. If we can both choose , then the combination of two swords is invincible in the world."

Suning patted Chen Shuai's hand with a wave, said "You are daydreaming", and strode away.

Chen Shuai was not angry either, he raised his flat head, pretending to have flowing bangs, and greasy said: "I am the most handsome, Li Yifeng, who else can I have?"
