My 1995 Small Farm - Vol 2 Chapter 411
Chapter 411 Big Blow
Soon, Wang Susu came out with the child and the elder.
When they learned that the people led by Zhou Weijun were looking for Chen Ling to appear on TV, and they were going to play the tiger-fighting hero Wu Song in the four famous novels “Water Margin”, everyone was very surprised and excited.
Especially Wang Cunye and Gao Xiulan were very pleasantly surprised. They suddenly felt that their faces were bright. They acted in the four classics, and they also played such a famous hero. They thought it was a great honor.
All gathered around to ask Chen Ling’s opinion.
Seeing that the family members were so happy, Chen Ling didn’t know how to talk to these people at this time.
As for “Water Margin”, it seems that filming did start this year.
Now, when making TV dramas, they are not as impetuous as later generations, and the entertainment circle is not that entertainment circle, it is still called the showbiz circle now.
Generally speaking, it is still very serious.
Besides, in the current entertainment industry, many actors don’t focus on acting. Often after they finish acting in a TV series, they go home to farm when they should go home, and continue to do business when they need to do business.
Everyone is very dedicated and down-to-earth.
So if there is a suitable opportunity to appear on camera, Chen Ling doesn’t object to this kind of atmosphere and environment, it’s purely for fun.
But the key is that these people are now looking for him to play Wu Song.
This tiger-fighting hero is the son of the so-called author of Water Margin, and the second most important character in the book Water Margin.
Once you agree to this matter, you can’t finish filming in a short time, and you will be tied to the crew.
Going all the way to act in TV, and acting for more than half a year, he can’t accept it.
The key point is that the daughter-in-law is pregnant, and the son is still too young. There are still a bunch of messy things at home, such as wheat harvesting, sowing after wheat harvesting, orchards, fish ponds, etc., that require him to be busy.
How can he walk away?
As soon as Chen Ling said this, the joy on everyone’s faces faded away, and they all fell silent for a while.
Wang Susu didn’t feel much about being on TV.
It’s the father-in-law and mother-in-law who are quite sorry.
Han Chuang stomped his feet in a pity. He was still looking forward to his good brother playing Wu Song on TV.
After all, no matter how good other people’s acting is, how can it compare to your own brother’s acting?
It’s a pity that Chen Ling’s family has a lot of things to do and he can’t get away. This is really a pity.
Several members of the Outlaws of the Marsh crew were also a little dumbfounded.
They picked so many actors, this is the first time they met someone who refused to play Wu Song.
The reason for the refusal is so simple and clear.
Let them not know what to say for a while.
After all, there is not much to say about the charm of Wu Song.
Many people rushed to act, but they couldn’t.
Especially the young people, I heard that if they want to be able to play the role of Wu Song in the four great novels, they would rather push everything aside and seize this hard-won opportunity.
I didn’t expect it to fail here with Chen Ling…
The reason Chen Ling said was solid. Zhou Weijun was so familiar with him that he knew the truth, so he couldn’t persuade him any more.
But the **** obviously didn’t give up.
asked Chen Ling again: “Can you overcome it? We will raise your salary again, give you a few days of family leave every month, and reimburse the round-trip travel expenses…
If it doesn’t work, we can also ask Village Chief Wang to find someone to help you collect the crops in the field and the fruits in the orchard, and we will pay for the labor costs.
How do you look at it like this? ”
After saying this, she herself felt a little humbled.
But there is no way, it is too difficult to find a suitable actor.
Dream of the Red Chamber and Journey to the West are in the forefront, and Outlaws of the Marsh is one of the four great classics. Now that the leaders want to shoot, they are under a lot of pressure.
So I strive to be the best in every aspect, and this role selection is naturally very strict.
Think about it, a real tiger is used.
It must be for maximum restoration.
She is also under pressure, anxious and eager, and she doesn’t want to let go easily when she catches a suitable one.
Chen Ling has watched the CCTV version of Water Margin, so he naturally understands this better than others.
Besides, the original version of Wu Song is already very good.
I am not in that line of work, why compete with other professionals?
It’s okay to have fun if you have the opportunity. He stays on the set all day long and listens to people’s instructions. After a long time, his temper will not be able to do it.
It is more comfortable to live a leisurely life in the village.
“Thank you for your kindness. You were brought here by Lao Zhou. I don’t say anything false. In fact, the crops and orchards can be put aside and handed over to others for help. I don’t care much, but now My daughter-in-law is pregnant, and my son is not yet one year old, so I really can’t leave.”
The attitude of this production team is very good, and the condition of opening is to do their utmost sincerity. Chen Ling can feel it, so he can say what he thinks in his heart.
“This, alas…”
Several men and women looked at each other and sighed helplessly.
Could it be that this trip was for nothing? It’s rare to have such a suitable candidate.
Only Zhou Weijun discovered the blind spot of the problem, “Oh, no, the crew is looking for someone who is not afraid of tigers, and Wu Song’s scenes don’t always have tigers, and there are tigers in the scene of fighting tigers in Jingyanggang…”
When Zhou Weijun said this, the men and women were all taken aback, and then immediately realized what the sentence meant.
“That’s right, the little brother can’t play Wu Song, we can let him play Wu Song’s stand-in, just play Jingyanggang Fighting a Tiger, and we can shoot without leaving home.”
“Yes, yes, yes, you have mountains and rivers here. There are so many mountains and forests, and it’s easy to take pictures. We can directly pull the tiger over for you to fight.”
“It’s a pity that Brother Chen can’t play Wu Song, but at least the problem of fighting the tiger is solved.”
Several people chattered at each other, getting more and more excited as they talked, and quickly asked Chen Ling what he thought.
After seeing the real person Chen Ling, they actually preferred him to play the role in real person, because whether it was the qualifications of fighting leopards alone, or the appearance and body conditions, they all met their requirements for Wu Song.
However, Chen Ling couldn’t do it here, so he had to settle for the next best thing.
“Good guy, bring the tiger here, I haven’t seen a tiger since I was a child…”
When Han Chuang heard this, he was immediately overjoyed. The disappointment that Chen Ling couldn’t act as Wu Song just now disappeared instantly, and he took Chen Ling by the arm and said, “Lingzi, this is fine, you can agree to this, don’t worry about it.” You can go far away.”
Chen Ling glanced at him speechlessly: “You want to see tigers, right?”
Han Chuang didn’t deny it either, and grinned stupidly: “Hey, Laohu, who doesn’t want to watch it?”
Wang Cunye and Gao Xiulan also said afterwards: “That’s true. Don’t talk about Chuangzi, we also want to see it. We have never seen this tiger before just listening to people telling stories.”
Even Wang Susu hugged Ruirui with one hand, raised it with the other, and said jokingly, “There’s me too, I want to see it too.”
Anyway, the husband doesn’t have to travel far, and people say that there is nothing wrong with bringing the tiger here.
Seeing this, Chen Ling responded, “Okay then, I’ll help you act as a stand-in and fight a tiger.”
When several members of the Water Margin crew heard this, they were instantly relieved.
Then he asked in detail about Chen Ling beating the leopard back then.
Listening to the person concerned is very different from listening to those people in the village.
What Chen Ling said not only clearly explained the cause and effect of the leopard’s appearance, but also the reaction of the leopard at that time, how he responded, it was said from his mouth, it made people feel as if they were in the scene, and subconsciously held their breath listen carefully.
After listening, Qi Shushu applauded Chen Ling: “It’s amazing, it’s really amazing. But it’s too thrilling. There were two villagers on the mountain at the time, and the leopards rushed towards them. Most people might be scared when they see this situation.” You have to turn around and run.”
They found out in the village when they came, and they only heard that Chen Ling was strong enough to lift a 300-jin rammer, and beating a leopard was a piece of cake.
Party Secretary Wang Laishun also very much agrees with this statement.
But now after listening to Chen Ling, it feels more real and more believable.
“Yes, it’s thrilling. The leopard is fast, and it can cover a distance of ten feet. This thing is a good ambush player. Generally, it doesn’t fight you head-on. If the leopard’s tail wasn’t broken, we fought it again. , I was injured, and I couldn’t catch it in time.”
Chen Ling spoke conservatively again, otherwise everyone would blow him off as a human being.
Anyway, the broken-tailed leopard eats delicious food in his cave, and no one will see it outside, so it’s up to him to say what he wants.
“Humble brother, this will show how valuable your courage and guts are. Let us meet like this, let alone run away, as long as your legs don’t tremble.”
There were also **** men from the crew who spoke at this time.
Several people around him also echoed and praised, and had a good chat for a while.
“Okay, let’s all go to the house and sit down. It’s getting late, and it’s time for lunch.”
Wang Cunye looked up and saw that the sun was already a little westward. After twelve o’clock, he got up and greeted people home.
Chen Ling and Han Chuang went to the foot of the mountain to pick two well-ripe watermelons.
Now that the weather is hot, it is very comfortable to eat two pieces of watermelon before meals to cool off.
“Uncle Wu, don’t go, why are you leaving when it’s meal time, eat a piece of watermelon first, and drink some later.”
“Don’t drink it, don’t drink it, the fish has just been taken away from the reservoir, and they are still waiting for me to reconcile the account.”
Good guy, you just joined in the fun before reconciling the accounts, really good.
But it’s okay to join in the fun.
This bad old man’s mouth is more broken than a woman’s mouth.
It’s not dark yet, why Chen Ling is going to play Wu Song to fight a tiger, and why he wants to pull the tiger over to let Chen Ling fight, it spreads all over the village.
Many people in the village brought their children to Chen Ling’s house to ask questions, whether Chen Ling was going to be on TV, and if he really wanted to be a tiger-fighting hero.
Come and ask one by one.
At ten o’clock in the evening, there was still a large group of people who hadn’t dispersed.
That is, Wang Susu is now pregnant again.
They did not linger again.
Otherwise, in this season, the weather is hot, and everyone is going to bed later and later.
When I got excited, I might have to stay at his house until midnight.
…
No wonder people are so enthusiastic about it.
There are few new things in the country, but suddenly there is a news that someone is going to be on TV, so can we not fry the pot?
Moreover, he is also the well-known tiger-fighting hero Wu Song. This is a character that many people have heard since childhood.
According to old people, storytelling, and comic strips, it has an extraordinary reputation among the people.
Also, I heard that a tiger is coming to the village…
This series of explosive news was heard in the ears, and it was no wonder that men, women and children in the village were not excited when they heard it.
Four or five days have passed, and they are still discussing this matter.
And spread more and more.
When I went out to talk to people, my face was full of pride, and my voice had to be raised several degrees.
Especially when the wheat is almost ripe, more and more daughters return to their natal homes.
Not to mention anything else this year, the daughter-in-law who married from Chenwangzhuang and the daughter-in-law who married into Chenwangzhuang stole the limelight.
Think about it, the big old turtle and the water monster first appeared in the reservoir, and the county even organized a dragon boat festival for the statue, and then the earth dragon appeared.
It lasted for more than a month, and there were no tourists from other places.
As a villager in Chenwangzhuang, he is both beautiful and profitable.
The girl married off in the village straightened her back at her husband’s house.
The daughter-in-law in the village is also full of joy when she returns to her natal home, and has become a favorite among relatives and friends.
Since then, even the big girl and the little boy who were originally unsuccessful in the matchmaking, once they heard that they belonged to Chen Wangzhuang, now they all say one by one.
There are also people who take the initiative to marry here, because the rumors become more and more bizarre, and it is considered a treasured place of geomantic omen.
Chenwangzhuang is now a famous village.
It doesn’t matter who goes out to the market in the village, as long as it is said that it belongs to Chenwangzhuang, other people will have to take a high look and come forward to have a chat.
The villagers have recently raised their heads and raised their eyebrows with pride.
So now one person in the village counts as one, who would not want to add some fame to his village.
Because of this, the Water Margin crew came to ask Chen Ling to play Wu Song’s fight against the tiger. When they heard about it, they were more excited and excited than Chen Ling’s family.
Chen Ling hadn’t played Wu Song yet, and the tiger hadn’t even appeared yet, so they started bragging about it with others.
