China Entertainment 1981: Starting from Journey to the West

For the next period of time, Yang Jie could no longer care about the Zhang family and his son. The location scouting team was about to set off next month, but the work at hand was not yet settled.

She is not only the chief director of "Journey to the West", but also the director of the drama group of the Ministry of Literature and Art. Hong Minsheng once said this when the task of filming "Journey to the West" was given to her.

Preparing for the filming of "Journey to the West" should not delay my own work.

When Yang Jie took Gu Bei to Shaoxing before, it was because she had cataloged the opera program she was responsible for in advance that she got approval from the stage leaders.

Now that she has to personally lead a team to go out for location scouting, she naturally has to prepare the programs to be broadcast.

Therefore, in order to focus on filming "Journey to the West", Yang Jie also worked hard. She spent every day in the studio hall and editing room, and it was difficult for other people in the preparation team to see her.

Without his leader, Gu Bei started to go to the Beijing Film Studio all day long, or go to the guest house. Actors arrived one after another, and the training class officially started. They were all veteran artists in the entertainment industry, and each of them could be called a star in the entertainment industry. A national treasure, this kind of teaching staff is probably not even comparable to that of Beijing Film Academy and China Film Academy.

Gu Bei's main concern is Zhang Jinlai. This is also what Director Yang Jie ordered. Not only should he monitor his study progress, but he should also check at any time whether he can really take care of himself.

Several times, Gu Bei saw Zhang Jinlai squatting in the water room, clumsily washing clothes. A pair of socks could make him waste a large basin of water, and he was tossing them everywhere, making the entire water room even worse. nothing.

By mid-February, Ma Saner, who had gone south before, also came back, bringing with him a whole load of clothing.

Gu Bei took the time to meet with the two of them, but did not discuss it in detail. If everything needed his step-by-step instruction, there would be no need to take them both with him.

The general direction is pointed out, and the rest is up to them to figure out what to do.

Time flies to the beginning of March, and the Journey to the West location team has arrived at Nanjing, the first stop. According to Yang Jie’s idea, the scene where Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty summoned Tang Xuanzang and the scene where Guanyin incarnates sells cassocks and Zen staffs was originally planned to be filmed at the Ming Palace in Nanjing.

But when I got here, I realized that everything was in tatters and there was no trace of the scene of the Ming Dynasty's capital, so I gave up decisively and ended the Nanjing scenery plan ahead of schedule.

The next stop was supposed to be Yixing, but after group discussion and a show of hands, it was finally abandoned. Then Yang Jie told Li Chengru to hurry up and contact the Huangshan Management Office and set off for Huangshan, Anhui the next day.

The reason for contacting me in advance is mainly because I hope someone can send a car to pick me up at the train station.

Today's CCTV doesn't look a bit dignified. After Li Chengru made the call, he still had a depressed expression on his face, and no one bothered to pay attention to him.

Because the next day was a weekend, the person in charge of the management office was naturally reluctant when he heard that a car needed to be dispatched. In the end, he reluctantly agreed after Li Chengru repeatedly requested and explained the situation.

It seems that a sign with the word "central" in it doesn't work well on someone else's site!
We set off the next day and arrived at the train station in the afternoon. This was the first time for everyone to come to Huangshan. Although they had a mission, everyone was excited at the thought of being able to appreciate the beauty of Huangshan.

The management office sent us to pick us up in a very dilapidated minibus. Not only was it dirty on the outside, it was even dirtier on the inside. As soon as we got in, we could smell a moldy smell.

But it doesn’t matter, as long as you have a car.

Originally, I wasn't willing to do it, and there was nothing to choose from.

When I thought that I could reach Huangshan Mountain tonight, I immediately started on the road happily.

The driver was a master, and he drove the car very skillfully, but his face was so long that anyone who looked at it could clearly feel unhappy.

You don't need to think about it to know that the arrival of their group of uninvited guests has delayed their weekend.

Who doesn’t have a lot of dirty clothes and sheets and quilts that need to be washed?
Fighting Sunday is the same everywhere.

Fortunately, one person's mood did not affect others, and everyone was chatting and laughing along the way.

But as he walked, Gu Bei noticed something was wrong. He sat at the door and felt that the car was bumping, not because the road was uneven, and the sound of the engine sounded a little abnormal.

"Master! Car..."

As soon as Gu Bei spoke, the driver parked the car directly on the side of the road. He was experienced and had noticed something was wrong a long time ago. He probably had to stop and check because he couldn't hold on any longer.

Soon, the problem was found. Oil was leaking from under the engine.

Good guy's!

Even though this is the case, I can actually still keep driving for dozens of miles.

Fortunately, it was discovered in time. If it was not solved, once the oil leaked out, the engine would be finished.

But the problem was discovered, but there was no car repair place along the way. There were no shops in the area, and I didn’t know where to look for help.

"Master, can we still repair it today?"

Director Yang Jie saw that the driver was in trouble, and her heart was pounding.

"There's nothing I can do. Just wait. If there are cars passing by, I'll see if I can ask for help."

Wait?
What's wrong with this!

It's early March now, and although the weather here isn't as cold as in the capital, it's still pretty cool at night.

A bunch of people can't spend the night in a car that's leaking air everywhere, right?
Gu Bei was also anxious, and suddenly he had an idea and thought of something he had experienced in his previous life. When he and a few friends went to Western Xinjiang, such a situation happened.

"Who has soap?"

Soap?

Although he didn't know what Gu Bei was going to do, at this moment, no matter who could come up with an unreliable idea, he had to hold on tight.

Everyone rummaged around, and finally Teacher Wang Chongqiu found a small piece of soap from the bag.

Gu Bei reached out to take it, then got out of the car and crawled under, using soap to block the oil leakage. The driver tried to start it, and it actually worked.

call……

After a short period of time, move on.

But not long after, it started raining again, with snowflakes on it.

It's not going well, it's not going well.

Gu Bei looked at the mountain road that was gradually becoming slippery, feeling suddenly worried.

It was getting late and the temperature was getting lower and lower. Everyone hurriedly put on more clothes. Peng Li tried to roll up the car window, but no matter how she rolled it, the car window would not move and she refused to go up.

"Master, why doesn't this window move?"

The driver didn't look back, and said with an impatient tone: "It was broken long ago!"

Did you take some gunpowder?
"Then why don't you fix it?"

The driver continued to sneer: "This car has not been used for more than a year."

Ni Ma!
Everyone was speechless for a moment.Don’t ask anymore. If you ask again, you should probably say: Who told you to come here at this time?
Being proficient is asking for trouble.

The windows couldn't be closed, so everyone had to wrap up their clothes tightly. Peng Li, the youngest, huddled up and huddled together with director Yang Jie to keep warm.

Gu Bei was miserable. He was afraid of motion sickness at first, so he came up and sat at the door. Now the cold wind kept blowing in, and after a while, he felt that his eyelashes were about to freeze.

At this moment, he could only pray that everything would go smoothly and that he could get to the guest house on the mountain as soon as possible.

But what are you afraid of more and more?

As he walked, Gu Bei felt that the car slowed down, and finally stopped on the side of the road.

"Master, why did you stop again?"

The driver lit a cigarette and replied in a matter-of-fact tone: "Out of gas, what the hell, now we're in big trouble."

Out of gas?
This can also be called human speech.

How do you check before departure?

Oh!correct!

This car has not been moved for over a year.

But this is no reason!

A group of people are already tired, hungry and cold. Do they really want to spend the night in the car?
If Yang Jie hadn't been too lazy to move because of the cold, the little old lady would have rushed over and hit someone this time.

"What should I do?"

The driver was not in a hurry: "No way, just wait!"

"What are you waiting for? Waiting for a passing car to ask for gas?"

"What if you don't?"

This is a fool.

Gu Bei felt that his patience was almost at its end. If he followed the driver and said one more word, he would just hug him and roll down the mountain stream together.

Now there was nothing anyone could do, and they couldn't walk up, so they could only wait.

It's getting dark and there's not a single car on the road!

Everyone was shivering from the cold. About half an hour later, Gu Bei suddenly saw a little light appearing in the distance.

There is always a way out.

"Look, a car is coming!"

Upon hearing Gu Bei's shout, everyone immediately straightened up, stretched their necks, and looked into the distance.

"Brother Li, hurry up, don't let it drive away."

Gu Bei said something, opened the car door and jumped out. Li Chengru also got out of the car and ran directly to the middle of the road.

A big truck came. Seeing Gu Bei and Li Chengru blocking the road, they quickly stopped the truck and explained for a long time. In the end, Gu Bei took out his work permit and the other party understood what was going on.

Knowing that Gu Bei and the others came to Huangshan for CCTV to capture the scene, they happily agreed to mix some gasoline, connected the pipe, and looked at the gasoline flowing inside, Gu Bei felt that his life would be ruined.

If I really stay here all night, I'm afraid I'll have to be born again.

The oil was replenished and the car was finally ready to start again.

It was already dark by this time, and the scenery outside was gradually blurring.

It gets dark early in the mountains, and the mountain road has many twists and turns, but the driver didn't turn on the lights.

"Master, leave with the lights on. It's so dark. Don't look back and cause any trouble."

Gu Bei was definitely a kind reminder and had no intention of questioning the other person's professional skills at all.

But the driver's answer was beyond everyone's expectations: "The light is broken and can't be turned on."

Gu Bei swore that if he had a sharp weapon in his hand right now, he would definitely shine it on the driver's head to greet him.

It's so irritating.

I begged my grandpa and grandma to ask the management office to send a car, but what they sent was a junk car. The engine leaked oil, the windows could not be rolled up, and it ran out of gas halfway through the drive. I was driving on a mountain road in the dark, and the lights were broken. .

Well, after encountering situations one after another, Gu Bei no longer cares about these issues.

What’s really irritating is, what kind of jerk is this driver?
There is gunpowder in his mouth, and it makes noise when he opens his mouth.

Gu Bei was really going to explode his lungs!

But now a group of people are in his car, and we can't really lose our temper with him. What if this person is not smart enough and gets excited and slams the steering wheel...

hiss...

The consequences could be disastrous.

"Master, let's... slow down."

You're driving so fast when you're driving blindly, why are you rushing to get reincarnated?

But the driver ignored him and seemed to have mastered Gu Bei's psychological activities.

Li Chengru was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat: "Master, it's so dark, can you see the road clearly?"

This time the driver finally responded, but his face remained expressionless: "I've been driving this road for decades, and I can drive it with my eyes closed!"

fart!

If you want to show off your skills, you can't waste our lives.

"parking!"
