Exploring the Entertainment Circle [Ancient and Modern]

Tao Qingfeng said: "I read the outline of the script before I came here. Tanghan Village was lifted out of poverty in such a short period of time. The script said that it took the path of 'collective industrial division of labor'. Although I haven't fully understood it yet."

Lisa's script for Tao Qingfeng is a fragment draft and an outline, and the official script is still in the final polishing stage.Tao Qingfeng learned from the scripts he had read that in the film, Tanghan Village's route to get rid of poverty and become rich is the "union" route of "collectivized industrial division of labor".He seemed to understand but half understood, as if he had realized something.

Kang Xueying nodded approvingly and said: "It seems that I have done my homework, but this is a profound proposition, and it is not so easy to think through. You can read the script and then experience it. After all, you are playing the son of the village party secretary. After finishing college Ready to go back to the village to build a home..."

The script of "Distant Mountains and Deep Earth" has been artistically processed.In fact, the development of Tanghan Village was the village party secretary's concern from beginning to end, and he did not have a son who went home from college.However, literary and artistic creation must have a fictional component, and it must also be combined with the tastes of the current audience. The protagonist is set to be a young and fictional "second generation of farmers" who will lead the villagers out of poverty and become rich.I hope it can resonate more with the new generation and pass on this concept of change and development.

Tao Qingfeng asked concerned: "When will the script be finished? I want to read it sooner."

Kang Xueying said: "It's coming soon. In the past few days, you should increase your perceptual knowledge—is it possible to live there?"

Tao Qingfeng smiled: "It's okay, I lived in the countryside when I was young."

The original body and itself, ancient and modern times, Nanshan and Haiji Village, both generations have come out of the most barren places.This also made Tao Qingfeng more curious about the development process of Tanghan Village's poverty alleviation and prosperity in his selfish heart.

In addition, Tao Qingfeng still has many problems.

"Excuse me, Director Kang, who is the heroine's actor?"

The heroine of "Far Mountains and Deep Earth" is a 28-year-old widow named Gu Ju. Her husband died of illness three years ago. The family has four children, the youngest is only three years old, and the oldest is less than ten years old.In order to treat her husband's illness, the family owed tens of thousands of yuan in debt.The family has only one mu of land and cannot survive.Gu Ju did not remarry, planted that mu of Susukida, and went to do small labor on the nearby construction site.

The character design of the heroine is said to have a prototype, but also not.Say yes, because Tanghan Village really has such extremely difficult widows.The reason for saying no is that this is not an isolated case, and it is common in impoverished villages.

Gu Ju fell in love with the male protagonist, a young college student returning home, that is, Tao Qingfeng played the male number one Zhao Hui, but not to mention that she is a widow with four oil bottles, and she is five years older than Zhao Hui .This is extremely taboo in rural areas.The extreme life has made her dare not seek any extravagant attachment, and secretly shed tears at night, not understanding that life is already so difficult, why should she like someone she shouldn't like.

Until the process of "collectivization" construction, Tanghan Village established a construction engineering team, and Gu Ju could do a stable job of mixing cement in it, no longer needing to work from dawn to dusk, and had a stable annual income every year.He was also helped by "targeted poverty alleviation" and built a big cement house big enough for four children.She got rid of abject poverty and dared to pursue love.In the end, the hero also fell in love with her for her diligence, responsibility, tenacity and long-lasting love for life.

Tao Qingfeng felt that playing Gu Ju, a character with complex emotions, rich experience, and ups and downs in life circumstances, required high acting skills.

Kang Xueying said: "You may not have heard of it, you didn't come out of a regular class, and you haven't played the leading role too much, but..."

Tao Qingfeng looked at the expression of "come and ask me" on the other party's face, then took the lead and said, "However, she must have something special in order to be picked by Director Kang."

"Why do I feel that you are also indirectly praising yourself?" Kang Xueying said with a smile: "That's right, although she didn't sign much in the protagonist column. But she has 'played' many protagonists. Her name is Zhai Yan, and she used to be a stand-in. I've checked it out, and she's actually pretty good at acting."

Tao Qingfeng couldn't help laughing: "Heroes see the same thing—I also think Teacher Zhai is good."

"You know her?" Kang Xueying raised her eyebrows and asked.

"She will replace me." Tao Qingfeng also asked Zhai Yan at that time, since he likes to think about acting, why didn't he enter the industry.The other party told him helplessly that she was not particularly beautiful and it was difficult to enter the circle.At that time, Tao Qingfeng felt sorry for her.

Fortunately for this script, Gu Ju's actors can't find those who are too beautiful.It's done.

Tao Qingfeng couldn't help but said again: "Director Kang, the way you cast roles...I think it's really special."

The way of appointing leading actors and actresses is very bold.Kang Xueying showed a very honest and helpless look: "This amount of investment... I can't hire a better one. And I'm not a 'big director'." When she said the last sentence, there was a flash of sadness in her eyes The color was not missed by Tao Qingfeng.

Tao Qingfeng's remuneration for this drama was the normal price, 600 million.But later I heard from Lisa that the investment in this TV series was only 6000 million, which was a little less than that of "The Hero and the Witch", which had drawn all the investment in the first place.Although modern local dramas can save a lot of money for post-production special effects, the expenses paid to the staff, equipment transportation and storage in the field are more expensive and troublesome than in the film and television city.So the amount of investment is also very tight.

Tao Qingfeng comforted: "Fame doesn't mean everything - take Ni Ting as an example, although he has won the Best Newcomer Director Award, in the process of getting along with him this time, I saw him treat Xia Xinghen for his own authority. It's not a good thing to make a small move that ruined the show in the end."

Kang Xueying smiled mockingly: "He is a young and up-and-coming member of the 'Directors' Association'. He practices the association's boring tradition of 'Three Fires of Standing Power'. It looks like a sport. I have never liked it. Even if I don't He is good, but when I choose actors, I don't spend my mind on how to make the actors obedient, what kind of see-saw concept of editors and directors... Those are high-ranking, full-fledged leisure princes who arrive every day I figured it out because I was bored late at night. Our directors were exhausted all day long, and I couldn’t stand them.”

Tao Qingfeng recognized her idea, and asked, "Will Teacher Zhai Yan also come to the village to experience it?"

"Well, she also promised to come over, and she will arrive in about two days." Kang Xueying said, "I also told the village party secretary that there are a few widows in the village. She probably wants to experience what it's like to take care of bear children. of."

After Tao Qingfeng returned to the room to rest, he sent Yan Dan his location and the basic situation.Not long after Yan Tan recovered from his injury and was discharged from the hospital, he originally wanted to find opportunities to spend more time with Tao Qingfeng, but Tao Qingfeng had to leave for a long time for work.Yan Tan was reluctant to let go, and asked Tao Qingfeng to contact him every day after he arrived.

It's strange, Tao Qingfeng and Yan Dan used to send messages to each other to study academic issues, but after expressing their intentions, the two sent dozens of WeChat messages every day, but they were all very repetitive and trivial daily things, and they never got tired of it.What to eat for three meals and what to do for a day... It seems that even though the other party is not around, you still want to see him.Tao Qingfeng often sends a lot of wechat messages with Yan Dan before going to bed, and falls asleep within seconds after sending them.

Tao Qingfeng fell into a drowsy sleep in the middle of the night, and suddenly felt that he was hugging something soft. He blindfolded his eyes, and vaguely saw Yan Tan leaning on his arms.Tao Qingfeng felt that he was thinking day by day and dreaming at night, so he smiled at him and murmured, "Why are you here?"

"I miss you so much." Yan Tan lingered in his arms for a while, exchanged a long kiss with Tao Qingfeng, and said, "Okay, I should go back..."

Tao Qingfeng thought it was a dream, so he didn't think much about it.When he woke up during the day, he was frightened out of his wits—although he was alone on the bed, there was a heavy coat on the bedside.

Tao Qingfeng was so frightened that he immediately called Yan Tan, and said in horror, "Did you really come last night? Where are you now?"

"I have class, I'm going back. On the way." Yan Danrou said on the other end of the phone: "I'll come back in two days."

Tao Qingfeng checked the traffic route, thinking that Yan Tan had to walk through those muddy roads at the entrance of the village in the middle of the night? ?Just to come to hug him in the middle of the night to be intimate and tender for a while, and then leave before dawn? ?

Tao Qingfeng hurriedly said: "Don't do this, it's too much trouble. How many transportation methods do you have to change——"

"One kind, the helicopter at home." Yan Dan said innocently. "There just so happens to be a particularly suitable stop nearby..."

Tao Qingfeng shut up in amazement, as if he hadn't said anything.

Having said that, when Kang Xueying took Tao Qingfeng out for investigation the next day, he frowned and asked him, "Why did you get so many mosquito bites on your neck?"

Tao Qingfeng didn't feel the mosquito bite at all. There was no full-length mirror here. He took out the mirror of his phone and took a picture. There were real strawberry dots on his neck.Tao Qingfeng quickly put on Yan Tan's jacket and buttoned it up, very embarrassed: "It's really a powerful mosquito..."

Looking back, Tao Qingfeng sent Yan Tan a wechat message and said helplessly, "You have time to make my neck look like this, why don't you wake me up and have a chat."

Yan Tan replied with a smile, "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you."

Although what Yan Tan thought in his heart was: Covering the quilt for pure chatting, Tao Qingfeng probably didn't have a good rest when talking, and secondly, what should he do if he couldn't stop it because of some other fires.He was also very helpless, when he held Tao Qingfeng in his arms last night, he almost wanted to put him on the helicopter regardless, and fly to his family's deserted island, without disturbing anyone or doing any business, Just teach Tao Qingfeng what Zhou Gong's ceremony is every day.

I endured and endured before I endured.

But Yan Tan hasn't given up on this idea yet, he still has a wish, what if it will come true someday?

Through the research with Kang Xueying, Tao Qingfeng learned more about the drama and the countryside: the prototype text of this film is the documentary literature bibliography "The Road to Tanghan".This book was recommended to Kang Xueying by a friend of the Radio, Film and Television Press and Publication Bureau, and she was deeply moved after reading it.The preparation of this film has also received strong support from relevant departments.

Although this kind of support is more reflected in the review channel, the investment is not particularly large.But it is also enough for Kang Xueying to raise a basic team and be full of motivation to do this drama.

But along the way, Tao Qingfeng also thought about more doubts: "I remember that the market economy in the last century, the collective cooperative model has been eliminated. Don't eat big pots, self-employment is conducive to mobilizing the enthusiasm of farmers..."

"It's not what it used to be." Kang Xueying said lightly: "Let's explain it this way. No one has tied the hands and feet of farmers. Many farmers choose to go to the city to work, leaving behind the elderly and children in the village. They have indeed gone to struggle, But did you get rich by working part-time?"

Tao Qingfeng said honestly: "I don't really know the numbers behind this."

Kang Xueying asked: "Then you don't know why farmers choose to work in cities?"

Tao Qingfeng murmured, "I think it's because, even though part-time work is very hard, the income is still higher than that of farming."

"Yes. Take Tanghan Village as an example. This village governs ten natural villages. The registered population is about 3000, and the land area is about 4000 mu. That is to say, about one family can be allocated one or two mu of land. One mu of land can How many crops can be produced? If intensive cultivation is done, take pepper as an example, it can produce three to four thousand catties per year. Converted into a market price of about three to four thousand yuan. This is the entire annual income of the farmers. Even if they are very hardworking, the harvest is not enough. Affected by the weather, when God rewards us with food, it is basically impossible to have a surplus of thousands of yuan to maintain life and take care of the elderly and children."

Even relying on individual farming alone cannot get rid of poverty.What's more, even if the food problem is solved, other things, such as clothing, medical care, childcare and schooling, all need money. Where does the money come from?This is why many farmers have to go to work.

Kang Xueying continued to Tao Qingfeng: "And if farmers go out to work, some are lucky and can bring a few thousand yuan home at the end of the year. But this is far from making them rich. There is a saying called 'crossing the food and clothing line overnight' , [-] did not enter the gate of wealth'."

Tao Qingfeng thought back to the script, when Zhao Hui just graduated from university, he was also unwilling to go back to the village.He is looking for a job in a big city, but he has to rent a house, eat, and face all kinds of consumption temptations in the big city... After half a year, he only saved more than 1000 yuan, and he deeply realized that "this is not possible".

If you are poor, you want to change, which is one of the cores of the script.

Tao Qingfeng followed Kang Xueying, walking around the field ridges in the village to relax. What he saw in the fields was a variety of crops, and different families planted them differently. Some fields were planted neatly, and some were even barren.

At this time, Tao Qingfeng suddenly understood the understanding of "collectivized industrial division of labor" in the outline, and said a word that he didn't understand before: "scale operation."

"Yes." Kang Xueying said: "Concentrate the land, engage in large-scale operations, and maximize benefits."

Tao Qingfeng thought about it again, and said, "So we need a production team."

Moreover, Tanghan Village also recruited people who went out to work, and many of them were engaged in construction and transportation, and a construction detachment and a transportation detachment were established.In the past, every household needed to pick up vegetables and walk for several hours to sell them in the city, but now a large cart can pull them away.Moreover, it can also be contracted by large hotels and schools in the city.Stable sales, affordable price...

Production teams, construction teams, transport teams, this is the so-called "industrial collectivization".Each detachment is packaged with "enterprise" management, follows the company's process, and has production and operation goals and profitability requirements.Different from the supply and marketing cooperatives in the past, everyone had a big pot of rice at that time, but now everyone pays wages.The purpose is to screw the forces together.

Tao Qingfeng vaguely felt that there was a gradually clear road unfolding in front of his eyes, although there must be something deeper behind it, waiting for him to dig...

Kang Xueying saw how he was gradually comprehending, and said: "My friend at the General Administration of News, Radio, Film and Television said that he saw the documentary "Tang Han Road" and dared not recommend it. But I did not dare to recommend it after seeing this book. No filming. Huaguo’s agricultural population exceeds two-thirds, and Huaguo’s food red line must be adhered to. There are some things in this world that you know when you see them. You have to do it, and you dare not not do it.”
