1978: Female educated youth, don’t want an illiterate husband

Chapter 277 Zhu Lin, looking forward to riding a horse with Cheng Xuemin (seeking full order)
"Lao Xu, do you want a wife? If you want a wife, just ask and I'll bring her to you later!"

Cheng Xuemin rested for only one night and started working on the crew the next day. His first scene was against veteran actor Niu Ben.

In a simple, shabby house, Xu Lingjun, played by Cheng Xuemin, was washing rice in preparation for dinner.

Guo Bianzi, played by Niu Ben, suddenly pushed open the door of Xu Lingjun's room, looked inside and saw Xu Lingjun, then quickly walked in and asked Xu Lingjun.

Xu Lingjun, played by Cheng Xuemin, also immersed himself in the role. He subconsciously didn't take it seriously, thinking that Old Guo was joking with him, so he said jokingly: "Then send it over!"

"Good! A gentleman's word is as good as his bond!" Guo Bianzi was very surprised when he heard this, and he spoke quickly, as if he was afraid that Xu Lingjun would go back on his word again.

Then, as if remembering something, Guo Bianzi pointed at Xu Lingjun and said, "Are you... the woman's certificate is already available. I'll go to the Political Department to get a certificate for you right away!"

The house was a mess, and Guo Bianzi looked really anxious as if he was about to send his new bride over. Seeing that Xu Lingjun's house was so messy, he talked to Xu Lingjun while hurriedly helping him clean up the house.

An old actor is an old actor. Mr. Niu Ben’s acting skills are not fake. They are very natural and smooth, and it doesn’t seem like he is acting at all.

He was just an elder matchmaker who was anxious to arrange a wife for his junior Xu Lingjun, and he acted out the anxiety of the eunuchs while the emperor was not.

"Look at you... take it off!"

Seeing that Xu Lingjun still had a dirty apron wrapped around his waist, Guo Bianzi immediately tore it off and threw it aside, saying to Xu Lingjun, "I'll send the person over to you later!"

After saying this, Guo Bianzi wiped his hands, turned around and ran out of the house, looking anxious as if he was rushing to issue a certificate to Xu Lingjun and send his new wife over.

"Hey, get ready. Tonight is your wedding night!"

Xu Lingjun thought he had left, but in the blink of an eye he saw him come back, half of his body leaning against the door frame, smiling and shouting at Xu Lingjun inside.

Then the person ran away!

Xu Lingjun in the room looked at the serious expression and smiled as if he didn't take it seriously. He continued to wash the rice and prepare his dinner.

"Crack!"

"One time pass!"

The first shot of Cheng Xuemin's group was shot very smoothly with the director Xie Jin's "cut".

"Xuemin, if I am Xu Lingjun, you, the original author and screenwriter, must play the role yourself!"

"Look! It's very natural. It doesn't look like you are playing Xu Lingjun at all. I feel like you are Xu Lingjun, Xuemin. It's very good!"

Cheng Xuemin looked up at director Xie Jin and asked about the filming results, only to receive Xie's continuous praise.

"Director Xie, please stop praising me like that! I really can't stand being praised, otherwise I'll get cocky!"

Cheng Xuemin smiled embarrassedly. It is true that people will feel proud when they are praised, especially when they are praised so highly by a great director like Xie Jin. Most people will definitely feel proud.

"No, no, Xuemin, I really didn't praise you! I really didn't expect that you would adjust so quickly. After just one night's rest, you were able to get into the role so smoothly. Not bad!"

In fact, Xie Jin was really worried about Cheng Xuemin who had just arrived. Like the other crew members, he was not used to the climate and environment and could not get into the right state at all, which led to a lot of film being wasted.

Now, except for the scenes of the male protagonist, the entire film "The Horse Herder" is almost finished, but there are still some scenes left to be filmed.

The purpose is to leave enough film for the hero Xu Lingjun’s role. After all, the hero Xu Lingjun’s role is the soul of the whole movie.

There must be enough film left for his scenes, otherwise if there is not enough, it will be a hassle to reshoot them later.

So there really isn't a lot of film left. If Cheng Xuemin can't get into the right state, Xie Jin is really worried that the remaining film won't be enough to finish the entire movie.

Now that Cheng Xuemin has adjusted his condition so quickly and better than he expected, Xie Jin finally has an idea of ​​what to do for the next shoot.

"Thank you, it's Director Xie and Teacher Zhu who took the photo!" Cheng Xuemin said politely.

"Xuemin, you don't have to be so modest. A good performance is a good one!"

"If you act well, I will definitely say good things, but if you act badly, I will also curse at you!"

Xie Jin didn't buy Cheng Xuemin's tricks, and he said coldly with a frown, then laughed and said, "This one's done, Xuemin, you take a break first, and get ready for the next scene!"

"Xuemin, you joined the team late. We have to catch up on the progress. Xuemin, you should be able to handle it, right?"

"If you can't handle it, speak up right away. Don't keep it to yourself. Otherwise, you'll end up with more trouble than you gain!"

While Xie Jin asked Cheng Xuemin to take a rest, he also emphasized the need to catch up on the progress, giving Cheng Xuemin a shot of prevention so that he would be mentally prepared.

"I can bear it! Everyone has been through this, and I, Cheng Xuemin, am not that delicate!" Cheng Xuemin smiled and shook his head. How could he bear this little bit of hardship?

"That's true!"

"No matter how tough it is here, can it be tougher than you, Xuemin, being trapped in the heart of the wild monkey blockade for half a year?"

Xie Jin also took over the conversation and in disguised form boasted about Cheng Xuemin's great achievements in killing wild monkeys on the southern frontier in the first half of the year.

"Xuemin, give it to me!"

Li Xiuzhi, played by Zhu Lin, handed Cheng Xuemin a wet towel and motioned him to wipe the sweat off his face first.

"This scene is very heartwarming. Li Xiuzhi feels sorry for Xu Lingjun both on and off the stage. It can be used as a behind-the-scenes footage for our movie promotion!" This scene happened to be captured by the filming teacher Zhu Yongde, who took a freeze-frame photo of it.

As soon as Old Zhu finished saying this, Li Xiuzhi, who was lying in bed, blushed instantly. She didn't even dare to take the towel that Cheng Xuemin handed over to her after wiping her.

Cheng Xuemin was also surprised. Mr. Zhu from the filming crew still liked to capture some of the crew members' lives outside of their scenes as always.

But if you want to take the photo, just take it. Don't say that, and definitely don't use it for publicity.

Not only was Zhu Lin shy, Cheng Xuemin couldn't imagine how jealous his wife Feng Jiayou would be when she saw the promotional footage.

Immediately, he tactfully reminded Lao Zhu, "Huh?! Teacher Zhu, didn't you just say that our film reserves were insufficient?!"

"Yes, Old Zhu, we have to use the film carefully when shooting. The hero Xuemin's part has just begun, so tighten the film first!"

"After the filming is officially finished, there will still be a lot of film, so it won't be too late to shoot some off-screen promotional footage!"

With Cheng Xuemin's reminder, Xie Jin, who was still worried about the lack of film, also quickly reminded the filming teacher Zhu Yongde.

"I'm used to it, it's getting easier. I'll pay more attention next time!"

It was indeed a case of his hand getting used to it. Zhu Yongde nodded quickly and embarrassedly, promising that he would not take shots outside of the scene and waste precious film by doing so.

After a short break, it was Cheng Xuemin's turn to act against Li Xiuzhi, played by Zhu Lin.

"Zhu Lin, if you're nervous, we can wait for you!" But after it officially started, it was unclear whether Zhu Lin was teased by the joke or was really nervous.

Xie Jin asked when he saw that she was not yet into the role.

As I said, film was very precious and not always in sufficient supply, so Xie Jin always hoped that the actors could get into the role as quickly as possible, and it would be best if they could get it right in one take.

Of course, we also have to consider that in this movie, the male and female protagonists are both newcomers, so while there are strict requirements, there is also a lot of encouragement and guidance.

"Thank you, Director. I, I, I... I'm still a little nervous!"

But Zhu Lin didn't know what was wrong today. She was always in good shape in the past, but today she couldn't get into the role at all.

I kept thinking, this is my little one’s lover, I can’t get too close to him…

"Okay then, Zhu Lin, try to get the feeling again!"

"Xuemin, let's shoot the next scene first!"

Director Xie did not force Zhu Lin to do the performance, nor did he criticize her too much for her poor condition. Instead, he asked her to rest and get back in shape.

The stage management quickly changed the scene, and Cheng Xuemin's Xu Lingjun had another scene of him reminiscing about the past.

There is no role for the heroine Li Xiuzhi in this film.

Moreover, this memoir takes up almost one-third of the length of the movie "The Shepherd", so Zhu Lin and Li Xiuzhi's roles were pushed back!
"Xuemin, can you ride a horse? Can you ride a horse?"

With the joint efforts of herdsmen like Lao Guo and Uncle Dong, he was arranged to follow the young and strong herdsmen to drive the horses into the vast plains of Qilian Mountains for grazing, starting the magnificent scene of horse herders.

But the galloping horses here are really galloping horses, and as a horse herder, Xu Lingjun must ride the horses himself and gallop across the vast plains of Qilian Mountains.

Some of the other wranglers were local wranglers invited to serve as group members. The team leader, Lao Guo, had also been here for about a month and had basically learned how to ride a horse.

But Cheng Xuemin had just arrived for a few days and had not yet done any horse training, but he went straight to filming the grand scene of thousands of horses galloping in the Qilian Mountains.

Not only is the elder brother-in-law Feng Jiazhao worried that his brother-in-law doesn't know how to ride a horse, but if he gets caught in the galloping horses, he could die!

If you're not careful, you'll be trampled into a meat patty by thousands of galloping horses.

Xie Jin was also very worried, and then consulted Cheng Xuemin and asked: "Xuemin, this is really not a joke! How about you practice riding a horse again, and we can shoot this scene at the end?"

"Ah?! Xuemin, what are you doing?! What are you going to do?"

But Cheng Xuemin was too lazy to explain to Old Xie, and he grabbed the unprepared Xie Jin and put him on the horse. Old Xie was so frightened that he danced with joy and asked Cheng Xuemin repeatedly what he was going to do!
"Director Xie, aren't you questioning my horsemanship? Do you want me to practice more? Then I'll practice for you guys!"

"drive!"

After Cheng Xuemin finished speaking, he pushed his legs forward and lightly whipped the horse's butt with the whip in his hand. The horse, receiving the signal, immediately raised its front hooves and directly lifted Cheng Xuemin on its back twice, making it stand upright at right angles to the horizon.

Immediately followed by a long neigh, the horse under his crotch galloped out like lightning.

"Ah! Xuemin, Lao Xie!"

His elder brother-in-law Feng Jiazhao, who was standing at his feet, was so frightened that his face turned pale instantly and he screamed in fear.

Zhu Lin and several other actresses were also frightened and terrified by Cheng Xuemin's move.

Lao Zhu from the filming crew quickly came to his senses and wanted to carry the camera and chase after the wind to capture this scene, but Chun Chun was wasting film and couldn't keep up, absolutely couldn't keep up!

"drive!"

"drive!"

Enraged by Cheng Xuemin, Niu Ben and several other actors who played the horse herders could no longer contain their excitement. They waved their whips and galloped on their horses to catch up, looking very happy.

Zhu Lin and the others also recovered, and then complicated thoughts came to their mind again. How much they hoped that the person who was grabbed by Cheng Xuemin and put on the horse's back was her!

Zhu Lin is not the only female comrade who has this idea!
Most of the young female comrades in the on-site crew were fascinated by Cheng Xuemin, the pioneer of reform and opening up.

What’s even more outrageous is that the young girls on the local ranch were really charmed by this gay man who had just arrived not long ago!

Now in the entire Chi Le Chuan Ranch, also known as the Shandan Military Horse Farm, the person that all the women talk about the most is Cheng Xuemin, the pioneer of reform and opening up, who is popular among people of all ages.

For this matter!

Xie Jin also specially arranged for his elder brother-in-law Feng Jiazhao to live in the same house as Cheng Xuemin, so that the two uncles could live together. Otherwise, they were both young and energetic and might create some unfavorable reputation.

If an unfavorable reputation is created and Cheng Xuemin, the pioneer of reform and opening up appointed by the higher-ups, is ruined, then director Xie Jin will not be able to explain to Yanjing!
I’m addicted!
At this moment, Zhu Lin, like other young girls and female comrades who were watching the fun, was mesmerized by Xu Lingjun riding a horse across the prairie.

The only flaw was that Director Xie was dancing and looking flustered on horseback.

"Xu Lingjun looks so handsome and brave when he rides a horse. I really want to be the one he pulls onto the horse!"

This was a very open and beautiful local girl, who kept jumping and cheering.

"Zhu Lin, I think you had a scene where you rode a horse with Xu Lingjun, galloping together, right?"

Zhang Miaozhen, another actress in the crew, was really envious when she thought about the scenes where Zhu Lin, the heroine Li Xiuzhi, and the hero Xu Lingjun had to gallop on horseback.

"Have it?"

Zhu Lin asked the question knowingly. In fact, she knew better than anyone that there were two scenes of galloping on horses together.

Because she was a newcomer, she had already understood the script thoroughly, so she knew very well what scenes she would have against Cheng Xuemin's Xu Lingjun.

Now that Zhang Miaozhen mentioned it, and looking at Cheng Xuemin riding a horse so happily, her mind had already drifted to filming the horse-riding scene with him!

"How is it? Director Xie, is my horsemanship okay?"

Cheng Xuemin, who was riding a horse at full speed, comforted Director Xie who had suddenly been brought up by him, and asked with a smile.

"Okay, okay, okay! Xuemin, stop riding. Can you please let me down first? I, I, I... you're almost breaking my bones!"

Old Xie was indeed nearly torn apart. He was caught off guard and almost scared to death.

"Hahaha, Director Xie, I thought you liked this, the joy of galloping on horseback!"

Seeing that Old Xie was really frightened, Cheng Xuemin quickly let out a cry, reined in his horse, and then slowly sent Old Xie back to his original place.
