Chapter 286 Welfare
One good thing about filming "The Horse Herder" is that the plot of the whole film is very warm and there are not too many emotional changes.

Therefore, there are no particularly strict requirements for the actors' acting skills, except for highlighting a sincerity and simplicity.

Because this movie was tailor-made for Gong Xue from the beginning, the "Li Xiuzhi" created by Li Changhe was no longer the original Li Xiuzhi when it came to portrayal.

In the original version, Xiuzhi, played by Cong Shan, is relatively innocent, but this is difficult for Gong Xue to show because her appearance is so outstanding. If you want to show that kind of innocence, it will seem awkward.

So Li Changhe changed her character, turning her into a silent and introverted woman, showing her beauty more through her eyes and the way she does things.

After all, for many people, eyes are really a killer weapon.

"Okay, done!"

The filming lasted until three in the morning. The two scenes on the cold and snowy night were finally completed, and Zhu Lin also called for the end.

At this moment, there were only about ten people in the entire cabin, and the rest of the staff had already returned to the minibus and were waiting.

The group packed up their things and returned to the car.

The driver had already warmed up the car. After getting in, he immediately shifted gears and started driving towards the guesthouse.

There was already thick snow on the road, so the car was not driving fast.

It was already three o'clock in the morning and everyone in the car was drowsy, except Li Changhe who was still energetic.

Soon, the car returned to the guesthouse, and a group of people got off the car in the cold wind, and then hurried back to their rooms.

Inside the house, Zhu Lin came in and took off her heavy cotton jacket.

"Filming in this cold weather is really exhausting!"

"Are you going back tomorrow?"

Li Changhe remembered that there should be no other winter scenes.

"Well, let's ask the guesthouse to prepare a banquet for everyone tomorrow, and then we can go back and disband the crew."

"Wait until after the Chinese New Year in April or May before we start filming!"

"When the time comes, shoot the scenes in the capital first, and leave the scenes in the grassland to the end."

"According to herders, it will take at least until June for the new grass on the grassland to cover the old grass, presenting a green pasture."

"Ah, it takes too long to shoot a movie."

Zhu Lin was lying on the bed at this time, and said helplessly.

"What's wrong? Have you taken enough photos?"

Li Changhe asked Zhu Lin with a smile at this time.

Zhu Lin shook her head: "It's not enough, but we started the project too hastily this time and were not well prepared."

"Next time we start a crew, we must prepare well."

After listening to this, Li Changhe didn't say anything more.

Filming in this era is indeed not as convenient as in later generations. Everything such as framing depends on the weather.

Therefore, the filming of Journey to the West took several years, and Zhang Yimou had to plant a sorghum field before filming Red Sorghum.

After the two of them finished washing up, Li Changhe was very well behaved this time and did not make any trouble. After all, he knew that Zhu Lin was also very tired today.

Sure enough, after a while, Zhu Lin fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, Li Changhe got up early, went downstairs, discussed with the guesthouse, and arranged a lunch for the crew members at noon.

Upon hearing that Li Changhe still wanted to pay with foreign exchange coupons, the guesthouse naturally agreed.

Then at noon, dozens of crew members had a delicious meal in the restaurant of the guesthouse.

We got on the car in the afternoon and started driving towards the capital city in the cold wind.

When I returned to the Beijing Film Studio, I found it was bustling with activity.

"What is this doing?"

Looking at a group of people gathered in one place, making it impossible to get through, Li Changhe, who was sitting in the passenger seat of the van, asked in surprise.

“It seems like they are dividing things!”

"Changhe, you guys are back just in time, get out of the car and come get your stuff!"

Next to the van, Director Ling Zifeng appeared at some point and shouted cheerfully at Li Changhe.

"Get something? Director Ling, what are you getting?"

Li Changhe was a little surprised.

"Let's get the New Year's goods. Zhuangzhuang, Kaige, the rest of you should hurry down and take all the things from your homes back."

The Beijing Film Studio has performed well this year, especially Li Changhe's "The Letter" and "Jungle Gun King", which didn't cost much to shoot, but sold well, and there was a lot of money left over from the money given by China Film.

In addition, the subsequent film "The Horse Shepherd" did not cost Beijing Film Studio a penny, so there was still a lot of money left in the account of Beijing Film Studio at the end of the year.

Wang Yang immediately waved his hand and prepared some high-end New Year's goods for the factory employees.

"Uncle Ling, what are you going to post?"

Chen Kaige got out of the van and asked curiously.

"There are so many. This year, Lao Wang directly bought a carriage from the Northeast and bought all kinds of frozen pears, frozen persimmons, and canned yellow peaches."

"Go and get your share later."

"Changhe and Zhulin also have some. Old Wang specifically told me to save them for you."

Ling Zifeng said with a smile.

"Director Wang really spent a lot of money this time. He even got back the canned yellow peaches."

Nowadays, canned yellow peaches are considered a high-end gift for visiting relatives and friends. If someone brings two bottles of canned yellow peaches to your door, they are definitely not ordinary friends or relatives.

It is really generous of Old Wang to distribute this thing to the factory workers as a welfare.

Li Changhe and his companions approached the crowd and heard someone shouting in a chaotic manner.

"Don't push, don't push, everyone has one!"

“Get in line.”

Slowly, the crowd formed a long line.

"Let's line up too. I haven't received any benefits yet!"

At this time, Zhu Lin pulled Li Changhe into the team.

She used to go to school, then stayed in the clinic for a few months, and then was admitted to the Beijing Film Academy, so she has not yet experienced the joy of receiving benefits during the Spring Festival.

When I heard that they had something, I became interested.

"Hey, make way, make way, or it will break if you squeeze it any further."

At this time, a young man as thin as a bamboo pole came out from the crowd, carrying a net bag with two canned yellow peaches in it.

"Hey, Yuko, you're really quick."

In the team, Chen Kaige shouted loudly at the young man at this time.

Li Changhe also looked over curiously. Oh my goodness, isn't this Uncle Ge?
But now Uncle Ge is still young and has a head full of thick hair.

"Hey, Kaige, you guys are back too?"

"Stop talking about this. I'm going to take the stuff home first. This stuff is too heavy."

Ge You simply greeted Chen Kaige and then walked home carrying the net bag.

"Kaige, is this also from your Beijing Film Studio?"

Li Changhe asked curiously at this time.

"Who are you talking about? Ge Yu?"

"He's not. His father works at the Beijing Film Studio. This kid didn't get in. He also didn't get into college last year. I heard that he later got into the Cultural Troupe of the Federation of Trade Unions."

Chen Kaige explained to Li Changhe at this time.

Li Changhe nodded. No wonder Ge You later became one of the leading figures in the Beijing circle. After all, they were all a small circle in private.

Soon, it was Li Changhe and his group's turn.

"name!"

In front of the truck, someone was holding a list and writing down the names first.

"Zhu Lin, it's not from the Beijing Film Studio. Please see if there is any."

Zhu Lin said in a low voice at this time.

"Lin ZHU?"

The other party raised his head curiously, glanced at her, and then smiled and said, "No need to look, you have it."

"The factory director has specifically instructed that you should have two copies, and the other copy is for Comrade Li Changhe."

"Come on, Lao Zhang, bring out the two copies of Comrade Zhu Lin and the others."

"You guys don't have to pick them up separately. Director Wang has already packed them for you. Just take the whole box away."

The staff member in charge of record spoke to Zhu Lin enthusiastically.

Zhu Lin and Li Changhe were a little confused.

And on the truck, someone really moved a large box to the edge.

"Comrade Zhu Lin, can you catch it?"

"give it to me!"

Li Changhe reached out and took the box.

Hey!
It’s really heavy.

"Move this thing onto the van and take it back later!"

Li Changhe then moved the things into the van and asked the driver for the keys.

"Changhe, you want to drive it back? Give us a hand."

Chen Kaige was a smart guy. He knew that Li Changhe would probably use the car for convenience, so he had been watching it since he brought it out.

Seeing Li Changhe walking towards the van with something in his arms, he immediately came over.

"Okay, put it in the car!"

Li Changhe naturally would not object.

"Old Tian, ​​hurry up, I need a ride!"

Chen Kaige shouted at Tian Zhuangzhuang at the top of his voice, attracting a crowd of onlookers.

But he doesn't care, let others envy him.

Several people loaded the things into the car, which also included Zhang Yimou and Gu Changwei. They were not considered the employees reserved by the Beijing Film Studio, and Wang Yang had not made any preparations for them.

Seeing several people carrying large and small bags, a hint of envy flashed in Zhang Yimou and Gu Changwei's eyes.

"Old Li, let me open your box for you and see what goodies Uncle Wang has prepared for you."

If it can be sealed directly in a box, then it must be different from their things.

"Open it and take a look."

Li Changhe was also curious.

Chen Kaige then took out a key with a small knife hanging on it and cut open the box.

"Oh my god, what is this? Bacon?"

"And this thing, this ham."

"This can contains more than just yellow peaches, there are several varieties."

Chen Kaige looked at the things inside at this time and said in surprise.

Li Changhe had already taken the key from the driver and started the car.

"Take whatever you like."

"Forget it, Uncle Wang arranged it for you, what's the point of us taking it away? Besides, we don't need it at home."

Tian Zhuangzhuang spoke at this time.

Upon hearing this, Chen Kaige also shook his head: "That's right, this is all yours."

"Wait a minute, you can actually drive?"

Seeing Li Changhe driving them skillfully onto the highway, Chen Kaige just reacted.

"What a fuss!"

After sending Chen Kaige and Tian Zhuangzhuang down, Li Changhe sent Zhang Yimou and Gu Changwei to the Film Academy.

However, there were not many people in the film school at that time, and the heating in the school was turned off.

"Come on, Lao Zhang, Lao Gu!"

Li Changhe got off the car at this time and took out some of the things in the box.

"Take these back and consider them as a benefit from the crew!"

"Long river, this."

"Take it. Lao Zhang has to visit his mother-in-law's house this year. It will be a great honor to bring something good."

Zhang Yimou's father-in-law lives in Beijing, so he probably won't go back for the New Year.

Hearing Li Changhe's words, a look of gratitude flashed in Zhang Yimou's eyes.

"Changhe, thank you!"

"Don't be polite, put your things away, I'm leaving!"

After saying that, Li Changhe returned to the car, started the engine, and drove away!
