Chapter 352 A Policeman

This is an old jeep that is bumping across the vast Gobi Desert, and its body is somewhat mottled by the wind and sand.

There were two people crammed into the carriage.

There was a young driver in the driving seat and a bald man in handcuffs sitting in the back seat.

There was an iron fence between the two people.

The young driver looked too handsome, with a cigarette in his mouth and smoke curling around his face.

He held the steering wheel with one hand, his eyes fixed straight on the blurry road ahead. His eyes were cold and slightly tired, like an eagle that had caught its prey and was about to return to its nest.

The wind came in through a gap in the car window, blowing the strands of hair on his forehead into a frenzy.

He took a deep puff of the cigarette, flicked his fingers lightly, and the cigarette butt drew an arc and flew out of the window. Then he skillfully rolled up the window and brushed off the ash on his shoulder.

The whole set of movements was smooth and flowing, revealing a sense of nonchalance and extreme familiarity.

Because he repeats this action many times every day.

For three years, he has been driving back and forth on this road in the Gobi Desert, patrolling and catching poachers.

Today is no different.

The bald man in the back seat leaned lazily against the back of the chair and asked tentatively: "Hey, give me a cigarette."

The driver said nothing, took a cigarette from the box, lit it and handed it over.

The bald man grinned and said, "You are so handsome, why do you do this job? You almost scared me to death just now, do you know that?"

The driver remained silent, his expression calm, as if he didn't hear anything.

The bald man continued to talk to himself: "I say, Mohammed, do you know him? He is an Arab prince. I caught this falcon for him. One million."

He paused and said, "How about this, you pay 500,000 and I pay 500,000?"

Seeing that the other party didn't respond, he was silent for a moment, and then continued: "Forget it, forget it, how about you let me go, and the one million will be all yours!"

The jeep suddenly stopped in the middle of the dusty road.

The driver finally turned his head.

The movement of turning the head is slow and methodical.
She stretched out her hand, gently pinched the unlit cigarette from the bald man's hand with her slender fingers, played with it between her fingers for a while, and threw it out of the car window.

He then picked up the car intercom, stretched the cord with a flick of his wrist, put it close to the bald man's mouth, pressed the call button, and said in Mandarin with a Sichuan accent: "Say it again."

His tone was flat, his eyebrows were slightly raised, and the corners of his mouth seemed to be smiling, and his whole face seemed to reveal a hint of danger in the dim light of the dust.

A vague human voice came from the intercom.

The bald man was stunned, obviously a little surprised.

When he asked for a cigarette just now, he thought he had an opportunity, but now, the young man's eyes told him that he was wrong.

This is not a man who can be bought.

Because there was hatred in the look in his eyes when he looked at him.

hatred?
why?
The bald man looked at the driver deeply, then slowly leaned back into the back seat and laughed.

"Handsome guy, you're a good man."

He paused, narrowed his eyes, and added with a hint of self-mockery and provocation: "But good people don't always get good rewards."

The driver's smile also faded.

He didn't answer, let go of the walkie-talkie, turned around, and prepared to continue driving.

Just at this time.
"Card."

Ning Hao, who was standing in front of the monitor, spoke into the intercom with some reluctance.

In the script, at this moment a heavy off-road vehicle will suddenly crash into the driver and overturn the entire vehicle.

But that’s for the next shot.

I just can’t get enough of it.

Ning Hao now sincerely feels that Wang Jiawei likes to ask actors to perform more times, whether he has something to do or not, not only to pursue the state, but more likely, it is a real enjoyment to watch those top actors perform on the monitor. "

Putting the intercom to his lips, he instructed the on-site director, "Have all the teams return to their positions. One more take. Tell Bozi to relax a little, it looks a little tight in the camera. Also, tell the props team to turn down the wind."

"Okay, director." The intercom echoed with the rustling sound of electricity, and then a voice was heard: "Do it again!"

With the director's shouting, the whole set suddenly became lively.

The sandstorm howled across the Gobi Desert, and the scorching sun burned this barren land.

The old jeep that Chen Nuo and Huang Bo were riding in was now firmly fixed on the trailer frame of a heavy truck.

This is also a common technique for shooting interior shots. The jeep is not actually moving, but is towed by a heavy truck. It looks like the driver is driving, but in fact he is just pretending.

Similarly, the camera shows a jeep seemingly driving alone in the wilderness.

In fact, the area was crowded with crew members. Even Chen Nuo's hair that was blown by the wind was the result of a large black fan blown inwards from the window by the props team.

At this time, the heavy truck pulled the jeep slowly back to the starting position.

Xiao Li, who was in charge of using the fan to blow air, opened the car door, handed over two bottles of iced mineral water that had been placed in the box, and said, "Brother Nuo, come and drink some water. I'll blow on your body with water. It's too hot today."

Chen Nuo was not polite and said "OK, thanks" with a smile, and handed a bottle of water to Huang Bo in the back seat.

Huang Bo took the water and said, "Come over here and blow towards me!"

It’s no wonder that Huang Bo was shouting like that, because at noon, under the direct sunlight, the car was really too hot.

He was fine, the fan was blowing towards him the whole time, and Huang Bo in the back seat was basically like being in a steamer.

Before coming, he was only prepared to eat sand.

But unexpectedly, his play was changed from Gansu to XJ.

In addition to eating sand, they also have to undergo this kind of test less than a hundred kilometers away from the Flaming Mountain.

Although the temperature in Hami, XJ in June still reaches the crazy level of 6 or 7 degrees as in July and August, the high temperature of 8-36 degrees during the day is enough to make people feel dizzy.

Fortunately, it was just a guest appearance, lasting only one day, and the little black girl was not brought along, otherwise, the girl would definitely have been tanned even darker.

When the makeup artist from the crew came over and skillfully began to touch up his makeup and apply powder,

The assistant carrying the reflector and the sound engineer holding the sound recording pole also came over with sweat dripping down their faces. They rubbed against the props team's fan and praised, "Brother Nuo, you acted so well!"

"That cigarette butt throwing move is so cool, I'll never be able to learn it in my lifetime!"

"Not only is he handsome, but the look in his eyes at the end was amazing. I thought a truck was really going to hit him!"

"This is the best actor!"

Chen Nuo was really convinced and said helplessly: "You guys are still trying to flatter me in 40-degree weather. It's a pity that I don't take care of the accounts, otherwise I would definitely give you some bonuses."

A group of people laughed, and the assistant and the sound engineer laughed out loud: "No, this is absolutely the truth!"

"Yes, absolutely sincerely!"

In fact, it was more or less true. At least in this short period of contact, every member of the crew was shocked.

Who is Chen Nuo?

In the words of a staff member from the props group who had just transferred from the crew of Chen Kaige's "The Orphan of Zhao", that was "Huang Mouming's grandfather."

No matter from which angle you look at it, the guy who played the third male lead in "The Orphan of Zhao" and somehow caught Brother Kai's eye is probably not even worthy of carrying his shoes compared to others.

But when we got along on the spot, it felt like the exact opposite.

When he was performing to the public, he was always laughing and seemed approachable, but after the filming, his nose was up to the sky and he was too disdainful to say a word to the lower-level people in the crew, as if speaking more would lower his status.

On the other hand, this big star who is really qualified to show off, and even the big boss who makes people feel that it is natural for him to show off, actually gets along well with these people who work on the set, laughing and joking without any airs at all.

How can we not sigh at the differences between people?
At this time, another young man from the props group ran over and handed Chen Nuo a new cigarette with a smile: "Brother Nuo, here. Brother Nuo, you don't smoke, do you want me to help you smoke?"

Chen Nuo took the cigarette, glanced at him, and said with a smile: "Forget it, I'm not interested in eating men's saliva."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Everyone around was happy, and their laughter spread in the wind and sand. Looking at each other, they could see the sighs in each other's eyes.

This really doesn't treat everyone as outsiders. I didn't expect that the gossip from the crew of "The Sound of Wind" was actually true.

Who would have thought of this?
The laughter here also attracted other staff on the cart, and they all gathered around to ask what happened.

After telling each other what had just happened, everyone was laughing.

A burly sound engineer in the recording group couldn't hold back and made another joke: "Zhang He, why don't you take a piss and take a photo? You want Brother Nuo to eat your saliva. Do you know how many female stars are lining up to pay to do this?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere suddenly became a little frozen.

But as Chen Nuo was the first to laugh, the expressions of the group of people relaxed and they all started laughing too.

Huang Bo was also in the group, but he was thinking about it in his heart. Ning Hao said that he acted too nervously, and he actually felt that way himself. He was still tense after filming this one. He secretly said fiercely, Damn, relax a little and be a little more promising, okay Huang Bo!
A group of people were chatting and laughing. Chen Nuo was among them, blowing the fan and smoking slowly.
By the time the heavy truck returned to its original position, he had just smoked half of a cigarette. After taking two more puffs, he could pop out the window.

Following the assistant director's words "Everyone take your positions", the groups that had gathered together dispersed.

The two photographers responsible for the main and auxiliary shots were in position, one taking close-ups inside the car, and the other half-crouching in front of the trailer with a heavy camera, the lens aimed at the front window.

The photography assistant held up a reflector to soften the glaring sunlight.

The burly sound engineer who told dirty jokes stood on the other side, sticking the microphone boom into the car window.

The script supervisor held up a clapperboard in his hand, stood in front of the camera, cleared his throat, and shouted crisply: "No Man's Land, scene 19, second take, second time!"

She raised the clapperboard neatly, pointed it at the camera, and tapped it, then put the clapperboard away and quickly stepped aside.
The on-site director said, “Begin!”

The heavy truck moved forward again and the trailer started slowly.

Inside the jeep, Chen Nuo leaned in the driver's seat, steering with one hand, his hair messed up by the fan.

This time, the wind was not as strong, so the coldness on his face was more obvious.

A stern face,
It was as if he was in the cold winter now, and the cold current from Tianshan Mountains froze the expression on his face.

He was completely different from the person who needed a life-saving fan a few minutes ago.

This is because. Now he is no longer an actor who is afraid of both heat and cold.
Instead, he is a people’s policeman who roams the wilderness regardless of cold or heat.

Asking Chen Nuo to play the policeman was actually the idea given by China Film Group.

That said it helps with the review.

Ning Hao thought it made sense and changed his original plan.

On June 2010, 6, the filming schedule for No Man's Land only included two scenes about this policeman.

The first arrest scene, which consisted of three or four shots, took a little over an hour to shoot.

This is currently the second scene.

This scene was stuck twice in a row. By the third take, Ning Hao could find no fault with Huang Bo's performance, but after hesitating, he still asked for another take.

It's not intentional to play a prank on anyone, it's just that the other person in the camera, as we get used to each other, the feeling is actually getting better and better.

Ning Hao and Chen Nuo had discussed in advance how to play this policeman - he wanted him to play a young detective who is smart and alert, hates poachers, and is indifferent or even cruel in front of criminals.

The person arrived last night and the role was discussed during dinner. But before the shooting started at 11 o'clock this morning, the other party handed him a 1000-word biography.

The biography outlines the short life of this policeman.

My name is xxx. I have always been one of the best students in my class since I was young.

When I was in the second grade of junior high school, my personality changed drastically. From being sunny and cheerful, I became a little gloomy.

After graduating from high school, he could have gone to a big city to attend college and live a stable life, but unexpectedly he chose to stay in his hometown and studied at a local police academy.

In the police academy, xxx's grades were still excellent, and he finally got the opportunity to stay and work in the Municipal Bureau.

As a result he refused.

He graduated with the first place, but took the initiative to apply to come to this no-man's land and became a criminal policeman walking on the edge of life and death.

Today marks his third year and ninety-third day in this wilderness.

Huang Bo was the thirteenth poacher he had caught.

Today, he will die in this vast uninhabited area, just like his father did 11 years ago.

He has a girlfriend who is a dance teacher. They have a very good relationship and are planning to get married next year.

My girlfriend opened a small studio in HM City and teaches children to dance.

I didn't know the bad news was coming.

The day when he married her would never come again.

……

……

After Chen Nuo finished filming for the fourth time, Ning Hao felt that it couldn't go on forever, so he announced that the film was over.

In the evening, Ning Hao issued a ban on alcohol.

Chen Nuo paid for a whole roasted lamb meal for the entire crew.

Tony Leung Chiu-wai is here too.

This is the first meeting between the two actors who are currently hailed as the two most talented actors in the Chinese film industry.

Liang Chaowei didn't seem to feel ashamed of being overshadowed by a younger generation, especially since Chen Nuo had a good relationship with his wife and boss.

It was so awkward for two people who were not very extroverted to sit together and chat for a while.

Especially there was a photographer shooting behind-the-scenes footage next to him, carrying a camera and filming the whole time.

That night, Chen Nuo got very drunk.

When Chen Nuo woke up the next morning, he opened his phone and saw a text message from Ning Hao at 3 a.m. last night:
"I was drunk and just sobered up a little in the early morning. After thinking for a long time, I still have to say thank you. The conditions here are too bad, it's terribly hot, and everyone has been complaining a lot recently. Including the casting. It's not that I don't want to go back, but I'm afraid that once I leave, they will think I sneaked back to play tricks, and morale will be further broken. When you came this time, I saw last night that everyone's condition has warmed up. I really appreciate it."

What a mess.

Chen Nuo stared at the cheesy text message and felt that it was not like Ning Hao's usual style at all. He must be really drunk.

He didn't say much, and replied: "Starting tomorrow, we will give out high temperature subsidies, 100 yuan per person per day. This will be more effective than me coming here a hundred times. If China Film has anything to say, just say it was my decision, don't be stingy with this little money. I'm leaving now, and we'll meet again when I return to Beijing."

On the way to the airport, Chen Nuo received another text message from Tong Liya.

He took a look and called back directly.

Yaya sent a text message to question him, but she was afraid that there was someone around him, so she only sent a text message.

The content of the text message was that she saw the news that he went to XJ to film, so she asked him why he didn't tell her.

When the call was picked up, Chen Nuo said directly: "I'll only be here for a day. I'll be back after filming. What do you want to say?"

"Oh, no. I, I just asked." The voice on the other end of the phone suddenly became cheerful.

"How's it going over there? Have you signed the contract?"

"Signed!" someone shouted from the other end. "The director actually agreed. Not only did I not expect it, but Brother Zhou also said he did not expect Director Chen to be so easy to talk to."

Chen Nuo was a little surprised to hear Tong Liya say this.

What he said before about not doing kissing scenes and not doing this or that was completely out of a man's desire for exclusivity.

He was even prepared for Tong Liya to be PASSED over there.

I didn’t expect Chen Sicheng to agree?
This is definitely not normal.

It's not that love scenes must have kissing scenes, but... who is Tong Liya? Why does she ask for such a condition? No kissing scenes in love scenes? Why? She is a goddess?

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

However, Chen Nuo didn't want to pour cold water on Tong Liya at this time, so he said with a smile: "Congratulations, when will the filming start?"

"In August, I already got the script. I took a look and found that I was playing a kindergarten teacher this time. I thought about it and decided that in addition to getting familiar with the script, I would also like to find a kindergarten to experience life in the next two months, just like you taught me last time. What do you think?"

"Very good, keep going."

"Ok!"

Tong Liya is a really motivated disciple, completely different from one of Chen Nuo’s masters.

When Liu Yifei heard Chen Nuo say that he wanted to go back to Longan to rest for a while, she was ready to go on strike without saying a word, and even planned to go back with him to play for a few days.

Until Chen Nuo raised the ultimate question, he must live back home this time, so if she goes back with him, where will she live?
Liu Yifei had no choice but to stop.

After settling the matter with Liu Yifei, Chen Nuo still had one thing he had to do before returning to Sichuan for vacation.

That is to have a good talk with Qi Yuntian.

Although he really didn't want to do this, reality forced him to do so.

Before, under his persuasion, Qi Yuntian did go home and stay for one night.

However, that night when they returned home, Qi Yuntian and Li Er had a complete falling out.

After a big quarrel, both sides said harsh words to each other. Qi Yuntian took advantage of Li Er and Qi Yifei going to work and moved all the things to the house he bought for himself in Ziyu Villa, which almost made his father have a heart attack.

In this situation, how could he just stand by and watch?

So he decided to have a good talk with Qi Yuntian about this matter on June 6th.

No matter what, it is impossible for Li Er and Qi Yuntian to never have any contact with each other again.

However, before that, he had to meet someone.
