It's hard to be a stepmother

Director Bai also stood up: "Okay, I'll ask them to re-plan the script immediately when I go back, and I'll trouble Mr. Xiao and Mr. Ruan to work hard first."

"Let's go, let's go eat first." I beckoned them to get up.Huo Baize, who was playing, was also called over. Huo Hanchuan had already sent a WeChat message saying that his fried fish was ready, and he took a photo to show me. I told Huo Baize, "Your father's fried fish is ready."

Huo Baize pulled me and let out a habitual 'oh woo', and then said to me after a while: "I've actually eaten enough of my father's fried fish, but I just like to touch fish, Uncle Xiao, don't tell him."

I was amused by him, and I said to him: "Okay, I won't tell him, his fried fish can also be eaten by Xiao Hua."

In fact, I have eaten enough. A few days ago, in order to make a good video, he fried it every day, no matter how delicious it was, he couldn’t bear it. I don’t know if Huo Hanchuan would be sad if he knew the thought of the two of us.

After dinner, Director Bai was in high spirits, so he simply took us to drink tea and discuss in the tea room on the second floor, and Huo Hanchuan was also there.He is responsible for pouring tea these days.

When Director Bai said that I was asked to perform a sword dance in the promotional video, he paused slightly: "Isn't it the same as the previous tea-picking promotional video?"

Director Bai repeated what he said to me: "Mr. Huo, do you think it's okay?" Huo Hanchuan nodded: "Very good, I also look forward to the cooperation between the two of them."

When I saw Huo Hanchuan's pause, I suddenly understood what was wrong. Director Bai only saw my sword dance, and he had a whim, but he didn't have time to think about it. Me too. I heard Ruan Le say that my sword dance After playing well, forget about everything else.

Now that I have calmed down, I figured it out. If I performed the sword dance alone, then I would be the protagonist in this promotional film. Our original plan was to pick tea, and tea was the protagonist. Huo Baize took the lead, and I was just one of the tea pickers. , No one will pay too much attention to me, so it will not be connected with Ruan Le's music, and there will be no scandal between the two of us.

But it would be bad if I were the protagonist now.

So I said to them: "Let's still follow the previous setting, I can't be the protagonist." Seeing Ruan Le looking at me, I smiled at him: "It's okay, if you need me to dance for you, I will continue to practice swords. I practice every day anyway.”

Ruan Le only shook his head: "It's okay."

I still shook my head, I was afraid that it would have a bad influence on him again.It is already very good that he came to compose the music for [Green Mountain Tea], but he can't come with a breeze in his sleeves, and have to bear a bad name when he leaves.Then I am really sorry for him.

Huo Hanchuan glanced at me, and said softly to me: "It's okay, there is a publicist, as long as the whole process is under control, there will be no negative news."

I also smiled at him: "It doesn't need to be so troublesome, we already have brand awareness, and we don't need to find another shortcut, just keep going steadily."

Huo Hanchuan only looked at me with deep eyes, and nodded after a while: "You decide, it doesn't matter what you want to do."

Ruan Le also looked at me and said, "You can think about it again."

I also nodded: "I will think about it carefully, first."

Director Bai said with some regret: "I think it can be considered and controlled."

Director Liu said directly: "Let's come up with the script first, and see which one is good to shoot and which one is not."

This is the end of the meeting. Although I won't show the sword dance for the promotional video, I still have to practice sword practice. Since Director Bai said it was a dance yesterday, I vowed to practice hard, and I must practice the thunder and resoluteness of the devil. .

Huo Hanchuan said he would box with me, so before lunch the next day, I practiced with him in the inn compound. This place was built for a martial arts competition. Now it has been temporarily changed to a boxing ring. Before that, I practiced in the inn I used to practice in the room, but today Director Liu and the martial arts director came to guide the tour, so they changed it outside.

I don’t know how the news of the ring got out. The fight didn’t start. There were already a lot of people gathered below. They were children who came to see the excitement and villagers who had finished picking tea. Sister Chen and the others poured tea on the tea table under the big tree. After drinking tea, cut up the watermelon.

When I used to practice swords in the bamboo forest, they were not so excited. This is really a melon-eating crowd watching the excitement.

Because the bets are all made, from caring to making a bet is an instant thing.

[What, Mr. Huo is going to fight with Mr. Xiao!Then how can it work, we have to go and see! 】

【fight?How could the two of them fight?Once in a lifetime!Go check it out! 】

【Oh, so it's a sparring session, so Mr. Huo, I'll bet on you to win! 】

[I want to bet on Mr. Xiao, I have seen Mr. Xiao's swordsmanship, it is amazing!Mr. Xiao, come on, I like you! 】

[Place your bets, I think Mr. Huo will win! 】

[Are you stupid, Mr. Xiao must have won! 】

【why? 】

[Why is Mr. Huo willing to beat Mr. Xiao? 】

[What you said seems to make sense, Mr. Xiao Xiao!Mr. Xiao, I like you! 】

[Mr. Xiao, come on!Bet one pays ten! 】

I felt that I was going to fail, so I looked at Huo Hanchuan: "They all bet on me to win."

Huo Hanchuan looked very embarrassed: "But if I lose, will they say that I am incompetent? Will they say that you are looking for a bad match?"

I put the helmet on him and said to him, "No, I'm looking for a very good person, the best person in the world."

He looked at me for a while, his eyes were extremely gentle, and he said softly to me: "I think you are coaxing me and want me to lose."

I smiled at him: "I let you see it, come on, let's discuss it, don't be polite."

What I say is what is in my heart, whether he wins or loses, he is the tallest person in my heart.

Huo Hanchuan and I have often sparred with each other in the past two years, and we have figured out the routines of both sides, so I think the audience watching the excitement below may be disappointed. I will not fight too fiercely with him, it is just a daily practice.

Sure enough, I played fairly well with Huo Hanchuan, three rounds, 15 minutes each, each won or lost, basically a draw.

But when the game was over, they still applauded very face-saving, and Huo Baize's hands were red, although he didn't see anything, because he told me: "Uncle Xiao, who won?" I told him Said: "It's flat."

He said: "Father is not as good as you, he still can't use a sword."

I patted his head and smiled, I have built up the image of a martial arts master in Huo Baize's heart these days.

Huo Hanchuan corrected him in a very face-saving manner: "We two are competing with each other, so far as we click, friendship comes first, and competition comes second. Thank you all for coming to watch my match with Xiao Chen. We meet each other and cherish each other..."

After he finished speaking, he laughed with me and waved to the crowd, like the king of fighters, only Huo Baize was left with a plate to collect the money.

The audience gave him a lot of face, and praised him one after another: "Mr. Huo, you fight really well, and Mr. Xiao too. I thought you two were professionals!"

"Relaxing, intense and loving! Mr. Huo, Mr. Xiao was not willing to slap you in the face just now."

"Well, I know, he likes my face the most. Doesn't he?" He smiled at me.

I also nodded: "Yes, this is the only face left."

The audience laughed, Chen Chongyun looked at me and said, "I didn't expect Mr. Xiao to be so humorous."

I also laughed: "I have to give him face."

After the crowd dispersed, we changed our clothes and drank tea under the tree.

Director Bai said: "After watching the competition between the two of you, I have a preliminary idea. I want to make the conflicts in the script more intense."

She hasn't forgotten her thoughts, and she is still thinking about Jian Wu.

I asked her: "You want to make a movie, right? Is it full of love and hatred?" A 5-minute commercial, I can't think of how good a screenwriter can make it happen.

Director Bai also said seriously: "That's exactly what I mean."

I think Director Bai is too good. A brand director is about to become a director. I told her, "Director Bai has worked hard. Screenwriter Lin will go crazy when he finds out."

Director Bai smiled indifferently: "It doesn't matter, as an editor, his brain is only bigger than mine. Mr. Huo, what do you think, do you think my idea is good?"

Huo Hanchuan also nodded: "I think it's not bad. According to what your boss Xiao said, put all the grievances and hatreds in it."

I looked at him with a smile: "Then what kind of story do you think can be staged in five minutes? It must be seamless? It must also reflect the essence of tea?"

Now I just want to know how big their brains are.

Huo Hanchuan really thought about it for a while: "Let me imagine, for example, that bald donkey who dares to compete with the poor nun for the Taoist leader! We can change this to..."

A person as steady as Chen Chongyun spit out a sip of tea, Huo Hanchuan had to stop the creativity behind him.

After Chen Chongyun finished choking, he said: "It seems that Mr. Huo really likes this tea garden,"

I couldn't tell whether Chen Chongyun was speaking ironically or not. Huo Hanchuan's brainstorming was purely causing trouble, but after Chen Chongyun knew that I would not play to trouble Ruan Le, he relaxed and spoke for Huo Hanchuan: "Mr. Huo Although it was a joke, he was really working hard to participate, even the screenwriter was involved."

Huo Hanchuan said: "Mr. Chen has won the award. I just throw bricks to attract jade. I hope that after this script comes out, there will be conflicts, the plot is complete, and the tea ceremony must be explained clearly. Can my idea be realized?"

He asked Director Bai, and Director Bai pondered for a moment: "Mr. Huo, I will try my best to achieve it."

Huo Hanchuan still has requirements: "In this drama, the images of Xiao Chen and Mr. Ruan must be positive, chivalrous, and the whole theme must not be vulgar..."

I took his hand: "It's too difficult for the screenwriter." Huo Hanchuan smiled: "If they can't think of it, I'll let you think of it. I have many other ideas." I glanced at him, and I thought It's kind of strange that he seems to really want to shoot like this.

"Come and fix the house with me." I can't let him mess up.

Before leaving, I told Ruan Le that if he wanted to find inspiration, he would go to the Bamboo Forest in Houshan, and I could practice swords with Huo Baize and dance for him.Ruan Le also nodded, so I took Huo Hanchuan to the bamboo forest.

One of the unfinished bamboo houses in the bamboo forest scene is the place where I practice swords every day. Now only the fence and courtyard walls are left. Because of the busy tea picking recently, this house has been built intermittently.

Now that the first crop of spring tea has been harvested, the two of us continue to build houses. Huo Hanchuan likes building houses very much, and I like them too. Recently, I want to develop some derivative brands of [Qingshan Inn], weaving various small bamboo baskets, Make bamboo tubes, bamboo bowls, etc.

The bamboo here grows very well, and one bamboo can be used for many purposes. Many bamboo baskets for drying tea in the village are made of this.

I also learned to make up some. In two months, it will be the season of jasmine tea picking. We have to prepare in advance and save it for shooting sideshows. This is relatively difficult. The most I do every day is simple.

He and I cut a lot of thick bamboo, and the thick ones were used as pen holders and chopstick holders in the inn, and the pieces were cut into coasters, menu cards, bookmarks, wooden hairpins, fans, etc., and the rest were used as fences. The source of livelihood is self-sufficiency, and because of the inconvenient transportation, I can’t sell much. What I have learned is only superficial. I want to change this way of self-sufficiency.

Now that the film and television base has been established, we don't want to waste this innate condition. Qingshan Village has little arable land, and all sources of income depend on this tea mountain, so we must use everything here as much as possible.

Everything is good, as long as it has popularity and a story, it will have a soul, whether it is online or in our physical tea shop, it can open up another kind of sales channel, such as film and television and Two-dimensional culture. A route needs to be valuable, and moreover, a retreat of [-] steps can also be sold to people who come here to visit and play.

I told the village head about my thoughts before, at that time the village head looked at me silently for a while and said: "Mr. Xiao, I thought you were already good at acting, but I didn't expect you to understand this. Your ideas are really good. Huo! Mr. Huo!" He called Huo Hanchuan, who was still building a house next to him, and said, "Listen to what Mr. Xiao said, I think it's very good."
