The end of August.
Hot weather.
On the set, Luo Daming, who played Yang Zidao, held a small handheld electric fan and looked at the white ground outside the shade.
I watched the water stains left by the stage staff cleaning the props disappear at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"It's not my heart that's burned by the scorching sun, it's my flesh."
Han Zhou lit a cigarette and accidentally touched the metal mouth of the lighter. He threw the lighter away and shook his hands.
"Let's arrange night shows these days and rest during the day."
Although there aren't many night scenes in "The Sun Also Rises", there's nothing we can do about it now as it's cracked by the heat.
Even though the days are hard, we have to live one day at a time.
Luo Daming, who couldn't help it first, forced the whole group to drink water just to have a sip of water.
Singers like Han Zhou and Zhang Ceyong took out their own water to drink.
Luo Daming's assistant: "Director Han, your water is not cold anymore. I have a small outdoor refrigerator here. Do you want to cool it down?"
Han Zhou, who originally thought the water wasn't cold enough, said: "Thank you so much, thank you so much, of course!"
The assistant said you're welcome while bringing the small refrigerator over.
It is called a small refrigerator, but it is actually an insulated box, just filled with ice cubes.
After Han Zhou put the water in to freeze, he said to his assistant, "Thank you so much. Good people will be rewarded. Relics will be found after cremation."
The young assistant left with a smile, but as he walked, he felt something was wrong.
"Emm...???"
The assistant turned around and wrote this sentence in a small notebook.
The name of the little notebook is Director Han’s Dirty Sayings.
There is also "Your mother must reduce the price when buying vegetables."
"Your grandfather would never be criticized for playing chess."
"When your dad plays cards, there must be a 7 in 3456."
Han Zhou used to post on Weibo frequently, but now he seldom posts on Weibo.
Now Han Zhou’s fans are looking for Han Zhou’s movements every day.
Therefore, if anyone in the crew posts about Han Zhou's movements, many entertainment fans will pay attention to it.
Recently, the assistants of several leading actors in the crew have been arguing with each other, trying to see who has more Weibo followers, so Luo Daming's assistant is very hardworking.
…
Early in the morning, Han Zhou had just woken up and was about to get up.
When I think about shooting night scenes now, I don’t have to get up during the day and can just lie down.
Before I could lie down for fun, there was a knock on the door.
Han Zhou stood up, yawned, and opened the door.
Outside the door is An Lan.
Han Zhou was stunned for a moment, yawned, and then said: "Hmm? Good morning, why are you here ?"
An Lan: "I'm here to visit the set."
"The plane left at about five in the morning."
An Lan has been discussing singing skills with Han Zhou recently, mainly because the sales volume of the second album is almost certain and the dust has settled.
So, it's time to learn to improve.
This time I came here partly for fun and partly for an interview.
But the way she spoke sounded sneaky.
It was obvious that he had already found out that the crew was only shooting night scenes these days and had a day off, so he came here specifically at this time.
An Lan entered the house and looked around.
Han Zhou covered up all the unpacked things without leaving any trace.
An Lan opened the curtains and looked outside. It was only eight o'clock and the sun was already bright outside. Is there still law?
"So, where are we going to play?"
Han Zhou: "Hu Jian's place, or to be more precise, Xia City, the weather in Xia City is too good, too good."
"We can't go shopping or something, right?"
An Lan: "Then...see the scenery?"
It's so hot, how about enjoying the scenery? Han Zhou: "How about camping?"
An Lan thought for a moment and said, "Okay."
Han Zhou called Lin Lin and asked her to prepare a set of camping equipment within an hour.
Then I went to the restaurant with An Lan to have breakfast.
There are more male actors than female actors in the crew, so no one cares about their table manners when eating. So when there is no filming in the morning, they all like to eat in the hall.
Han Zhou had just been eating when Tang Zhou and Zhang Ceyong came out.
Seeing An Lan is here, it’s a good opportunity to talk about the new album.
Tang Zhou: "Hey An Lan, the song "Crossing the Ocean to See You" from your new album is great. I've been listening to it recently."
An Lan nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, it sounds good. I've been listening to it every day recently."
Zhang Ceyong complained: "Wouldn't you be a little polite?"
Tang Zhou: "Oh, who are we following?"
Zhang Ceyong: "You two are familiar with each other?"
Tang Zhou: "We filmed The World's Number One together."
"Deep GM friendship, okay?"
Zhang Ceyong patted his forehead: "I forgot about this."
Han Zhou was eating when his cell phone rang.
Generally speaking, Han Zhou doesn't answer the phone while eating, but this call was from Yang Hong.
Must answer.
Han Zhou answered the phone. Since he had no hands to hold the phone, he turned on the speakerphone. Then he used one hand to hold the egg and the other hand to hold chopsticks, picking up pickles and scooping up porridge.
The other end of the phone: "There was a little incident, discussing the literature award."
Han Zhou found it difficult to chew the egg yolk in his mouth, so he asked in a hurry: "What's the matter?"
Yang Hong: "Recently, there have been a lot of news saying that people in the Chinese Writers Association are not very convinced about your package award for "Hong Huang"."
Han Zhou was amused: "Not convinced? If you're not convinced, it means that there's already information inside. I won the prize, right?"
Han Zhou had no intention of participating in the award judging at first; it was all Liu Tiantan's fault.
In order to promote "Hong Huang", he tried every possible means and submitted "Hong Huang" for many literary awards, the most important of which was of course the Tuikao Literature Award.
Yang Hong: "It depends on the situation. He should have won the prize."
Han Zhou was happy. It would be strange if "Journey to the West", "Investiture of the Gods" and "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" did not win awards.
Journey to the East, The Lotus Lantern and The Legend of White Snake are considered free.
Yang Hong: “Many writers mainly discuss two points.”
“The first is that you’re not a member of the Writers Guild.”
"The second point is that your novels are all entertainment novels such as supernatural and martial arts novels. There are no serious literary works."
An Lan: "Sister Hong."
Yang Hong didn't expect there was someone next to her, so she said, "Hey, it sounds like... An Lan, right?"
An Lan: "Are they very dissatisfied?"
Han Zhou interrupted: "Forget it, join the Writers Association? Why join the Writers Association if you can't write about shit, piss, or fart?"
"As for the lack of serious literature."
"Although I don't really want this award, but if I show him Journey to the West, he has to give me the award. If he doesn't, he'll get angry. Discussing whether I can win the award is not something they are qualified to do."
This is not a question of whether Han Zhou will win the award, but whether "Journey to the West" can win the award.
There is no novel in the world today written by a living author that can compare with Journey to the West.
Even the fur is no match.
Journey to the West was created by successive creators over hundreds of years and was finally summarized into a book. The literary value of the book, even if it is an entertainment novel, is a thousand times higher than the so-called serious literature.
Yang Hong complained: "You're talking about shit, piss and fart. Be careful if someone hears you. You'll anger a lot of people."
Han Zhou said disdainfully: "I remember there was a guy named Liu who was trying to scam people from both sides. He was a member of the Chinese Writers Association and also claimed to be a director."
"This guy sold a thousand copies of his book, and I don't even know if he consumed all of them, but he was able to join this so-called writers' association. I really don't want to join, and I look down on the membership quota of this association."
People in the entertainment industry are quite familiar with this person.
At the beginning, this person loved to attract attention. Later, he became a professional extortionist and would curse anyone who became famous.
He is nominally a writer and director, but in reality he is just a clown.
This kind of person is jumping around at a high intensity, but no one in the association cares about him, which means that he has a "father" in the association. The composition of this association can be seen.
Han Zhou is really not interested.
Really contemptuous too.
Yang Hong: "Then we won't respond?"
"Since you can type fast, why don't you write a novel to clear your name?"
Han Zhou: "I will not fall into the vicious circle of justifying myself."
"I'm not free today. I need to go out and play."
"If someone dares to call me out before the awards ceremony, it won't be too late to resolve it."
Han Zhou said this, but he actually didn't want to prove anything.
Journey to the West is all here. If they don't give it an award, it's not because there's something wrong with Journey to the West, but because there's something wrong with the judging panel.
Let alone Journey to the West, even if it is just a random article from Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio, it should be easy to win the Tuikao Literature Award in a single year.
Yang Hong: "Okay, that's it. I have one more thing to talk about in the evening. Go and have a good rest."
When Yang Hong heard that An Lan was next to Han Zhou, she knew that Han Zhou would not deal with company matters today. Han Zhou was finally able to take a break, and Yang Hong didn't want to disturb him.
After hanging up the phone, Han Zhou had almost finished eating.
Zhang Ceyong ate all the noodles before speaking: "Things in various circles in China are the most difficult to deal with."
"I suggest you be cautious."
Han Zhou: "In the end, it still depends on the work."
Zhang Ceyong: "Works can only convince capable people, not little ones."
Han Zhou was happy: "Little devil, there are many ways to deal with it. I am not worried at all."
Zhang Ceyong: "Didn't you say before that Young Justice Bao itself contains a story from The Three Heroes and Five Gallants? In my opinion, The Three Heroes and Five Gallants should be very convincing."
Han Zhou just said that. Is Zhang Ceyong really waiting to see "Three Heroes and Five Gallants"? Is this just another way of urging people to submit their manuscripts?
"Forget it." Han Zhou: "Let's go, go out and play."
Tang Zhou: "Where are you going to play?"
An Lan smiled and said, "Let's go camping. Do you want to go?"
Tang Zhou: "The sun is bright enough. I won't be a light bulb. See you in the evening ."
By the time Han Zhou finished his meal, Lin Lin had already prepared a full set of camping equipment.
Han Zhou drove the Warrior III this time, which is an active military vehicle platform.
The Armored 300 is less conspicuous and more comfortable to drive.
However, the trunk space of the Armored 300 was not enough to accommodate the full set of camping equipment prepared by Lin Lin.
Han Zhou's original idea was to have a canopy, a tent, a set of tables and chairs, a stove, and some food, and that would be enough.
But Lin Lin had prepared an inflatable tent in the shape of a house.
There are also outdoor colored lights that are only used for taking pictures, camping lights, fishing gear, outdoor power supplies, outdoor refrigerators, etc.
No matter whether Han Zhou will need them or not, just take them with you.
Moving camping.
Han Zhou has been filming around Xia City these days, and he knows the mountain forest branch here better than the locals.
The main reason is that he has a good memory. Once he has seen a map, he will never forget it. Han Zhou remembers clearly what is marked on the map.
Driving the Brave Third Generation, Han Zhou headed all the way to Tianzhu Mountain.
Seeing that Han Zhou didn't turn on the navigation, An Lan opened the map on her phone and asked, "Are we going to Tianzhu Mountain?"
Han Zhou nodded: "Yes."
An Lan: "But I saw on the map that Tianzhu Mountain is not open to the public now. It was closed for renovation last week. It may not be open for a year or two."
"Is it someone you know? Planning to sneak in?"
An Lan was still quite skeptical about this.
Things are no longer like before. If Han Zhou and I walk together and someone sees us, we will definitely recognize each other.
After all, there are few people who have not watched those TV series.
If people knew that I went to play inside a closed forest park, I would definitely be accused of enjoying privilege.
Han Zhou: "We won't go into the forest park. We'll find a place to camp outside."
Soon, Han Zhou's car drove onto an unpaved road.
I have to say that the military vehicle platform is good. On this kind of road, urban SUVs will have a hard time driving, while ordinary off-road vehicles can drive, but not too fast.
And this car, although not so comfortable, drives very fast.
"Last time I was looking for a filming location, I found a small valley here, and there is also a lake formed by underground rivers, which is relatively cool."
Soon, they arrived at the destination, and An Lan got out of the car and put on his hat.
Han Zhou retreated tactically: "Isn't it hot?"
An Lan: "Not bad."
Han Zhou: "Why are you wearing a hat? It's uncomfortable if you don't cover yourself up."
An Lan: "Block the sun."
Well, this reason is indeed irrefutable. No matter how free and easy An Lan is, she is still a girl and is indeed afraid of the sun.
Han Zhou took out the things, thought for a while, and decided to use the luxurious equipment prepared by Lin Lin.
The inflatable house was taken out and inflated, the mobile power supply was placed inside, and then the outdoor refrigerator and the latest outdoor air conditioner were moved out.
Anyway, we won't be staying overnight, so the two kilowatt-hours of electricity from the outdoor power supply are enough.
It's just that this two-kilowatt-hour outdoor power supply is too large, big and heavy.
An Lan took out all the small things in the box and prepared them.
Han Zhou took a look and said, "Don't use the gas stove carelessly. Put the gas cylinders in a cool place. I'll take care of it later."
There is a gas pipe inside the long gas cylinder of the cassette furnace.
There is compressed gas inside, and the air pipe opening needs to be facing upwards to guide the gas out for combustion.
If the trachea opening is facing downward, the compressed liquid inside will flow out of the trachea directly, causing deflagration and explosion 100%.
Although Lin Lin knows that expensive things are good, she doesn't know anything about camping, so she bought this kind of thing.
If Han Zhou were to do it himself, it would be safer to choose the high mountain gas tank.
An Lan packed up the small things, while Han Zhou picked up the tent, the canopy and other things.
An Lan watched Han Zhou unfold the skylight. Although she had never built one before, she had seen it many times when she was doing the show: "It takes two people to build this, right?"
"Shall I help you put up the canopy first?"
Han Zhou: “One person can take it.”
An Lan was a little unconvinced: "How can one person build this thing?"
The awning is suspended in the air. Generally, two awning poles are used to support the ground and hold up the awning.
Then use six, eight or even ten wind ropes to tighten the canopy.
Can one person build it?
Han Zhou opened the canopy and spread it on the ground: "I will teach you how to build a canopy by yourself."
"First, assemble the awning poles. Then, put the nail side through the hole of the iron buckle in the middle of the awning cloth. Place the awning pole on the ground along the extension line of the awning's center line."
An Lan looked at Han Zhou and wanted to know how he could build the sky curtain by himself.
Han Zhou tied two wind ropes to the iron buckles of the canopy poles.
"Use two guy ropes, forming a 90-degree angle with each other, and each forming a 45-degree angle with the canopy pole."
“It’s a little longer than the canopy pole and driven into the ground with ground spikes.”
Then, Han Zhou erected the canopy pole.
An Lan watched the sky curtain being erected.
Han Zhou then went to pull the other two guy ropes at the two corners of the awning on the same side of the already propped up awning pole.
This side is propped up.
Do the same on the other side.
Camping is completely different for men and women.
For women, camping means getting close to nature.
For men, it’s about playing with equipment.
This thing just stood up like that , and to An Lan, it was like magic.
But for Han Zhou, it was just a piece of elementary school science knowledge: "Triangle is stable."
Soon, both sides were built.
After everything was laid out, Han Zhou slumped down in his chair.
This place is indeed more comfortable than in the city.
It's hotter in the city than outside.
This place is a valley, so it is not directly exposed to the sun and is a bit cooler.
Moreover, there is a cliff opposite and a small lake below the cliff.
A pool of water to be precise.
The water in this bay between the pond and the lake comes from underground rivers.
It's less than 20 degrees.
The temperature here is at least ten degrees lower than in the city.
Of course it's comfortable.
An Lan looked at the pond, then at the fishing gear: "Do you want to eat fish?"
Han Zhou stood up and opened the things Lin Lin had prepared. There was no fish inside: "No fish."
An Lan: "Let's go fishing ourselves. There should be fish in this water."
An Lan made Han Zhou laugh: "Are you sure you can catch fish?"
An Lan put her hands on her hips and said, "Have you forgotten about fishing last time?"
"Let's go find Wu Li that time."
"You two are empty-handed, hahahaha." An Lan: "It was thanks to me that I caught a big fish."
Oops, she learned the word "air force".
Han Zhou: "Le, that was your first time fishing last time. It's a gift from nature to you, a great gift pack for beginners."
"You don't think you can catch fish every time, do you?"
An Lan: "Tsk, lucky people can succeed every time."
“No skills are needed, only luck.”
Han Zhou: "Do you think the bait you put up smells better?"
It's so comfortable when we are not in front of the camera, An Xiaodao and Han Budao stab each other's hearts.
An Lan didn't believe it, so he took out his fishing gear and went fishing in an orderly manner.
As soon as Han Zhou took a look at it, he knew that An Lan would definitely not be able to catch any fish.
Why? Because the fishing gear Lin Lin prepared was sea fishing gear. How could she fish in this small pond?
As soon as the lead weight was hung, the fish hook sank to the bottom.
An Lan didn't even know how to adjust the float, didn't know her hook had sunk to the bottom, and the fishing line wasn't straight, how could she catch any fish?
Then Han Zhou had grilled fish at noon.
Dry!
In the afternoon, Han Zhou and An Lan moved their chairs to a place near the pond that was not exposed to the sun.
Han Zhou studied how such a big fishhook, such a heavy lead weight, and such an exaggerated fishing rod could be used to catch fish here, but he tried it himself, but got nothing.
An Lan: "It turns out that knowledge is not always useful, and luck is sometimes more useful."
Look at you crazy.
Han Zhou: "I have at least ten bait recipes in my mind that these fish can't refuse."
"If they get mad, I'll just go to the city and get a bunch of them and catch them all in one fell swoop."
An Lan: "Why don't you just go fishing with new energy?"
Han Zhou was stunned. An Lan actually knew about the new energy fishing joke...
"I choose to pump water, and I must not spoil them."
An Lan was so happy that she curled up in the recliner, her legs dancing wildly: "Hahahaha..."
An Lan was very happy in her heart. It was good to have sound waves. She could immediately know what men like and could strike up any topic.
The pleasant camping time was not going to last long.
What Han Zhou didn't expect was that he was arrested by the police.
There is a fire on the mountain and a police station at the foot of the mountain.
Han Zhou saw the police car coming to this place and didn't realize they were here to find him.
The root of the problem was that the baking tray used in the gas stove would easily explode, so Han Zhou used a fire table and then caught him in the act.
Although it won't be a big deal, you still have to learn a lesson.
If someone else had taken over, they would have provided on-site education and put out the fire, and that would have been the end of the matter.
But the police found out it was Han Zhou and An Lan.
The two men went down the mountain and into the police station, where they were educated on the spot.
"Luckily you used the stove. If you had built a fire directly on the ground, it would have taken at least five days and at most fifteen days."
"If it causes a fire, the minimum sentence is three years."
"You are not allowed to light a fire without permission, remember?"
Han Zhou said sincerely: "I was wrong, police officer. I will never burn firewood in the wild again!"
Then the two of them took photos with all the police officers in the police station before they were released.
After coming out, An Lan was not unhappy because of this episode. Instead, she felt that today was more interesting.
Han Zhou was still confused. Did he really go to the police station every time he filmed a movie? Why didn't he go to the police station when he was filming Kung Fu?
After coming out, Han Zhou drove An Lan to the plane, and then drove back to the set.
On the set, Zhang Ceyong joked: "Is it fun to be noisy all day in the real world?"
"Escape from the hustle and bustle of the world?" Han Zhou: "Almost on the trending search, how about staying away from the hustle and bustle of the world."
Fortunately, after taking the photos, the police officer promised not to disclose them to the media.
However, Han Zhou still became a hot topic.
The reason was that two policemen took a photo with Han Zhou and posted it on Weibo.
But Han Zhou stood right between the two policemen.
Fun fans: "Look, Han Zhou was arrested."
Han Zhou realized it only after seeing the trending search: when taking photos with the police, never stand in the middle, otherwise it will look like you are being arrested no matter how you take the photo!
How could I have forgotten this at that time?
Hey! This means that the condition has improved!!!
Discharged from hospital!
