Each household would share a few cartons of cigarettes, but this would not affect the relationship between them.
Village Chief Fan looked at the foreigners and said, "Oh my God, isn't it a Chinese movie? Why are there foreigners? Playing foreign devils?"
He was talking about Frederick, Hans and the others. The people at Snowland Studio were waiting for Liu Qingshan to come back and take the time to make a rough cut of the relevant scenes so that they could take them back to create special effects.
Liao Xin held back her laughter: "They are all employees of Director Liu's company, doing special effects for movies, not actors!"
"What are you talking about special effects? I don't understand! I said you guys were eating corn pops. Your aunt just did it!"
Village Chief Fan seemed a little over-enthusiastic and said without taking a breath, "Who is that? Director Liu, right? Ask them to eat corn pops. I heard that foreigners are very rare for this stuff!"
Liu Qingshan understands the temperament of rural people in the Northeast. The less you treat him as an outsider, the less he treats you: "Frederick, the old man is treating you to steamed corn! Do as the Romans do, and go get it from the big pot yourselves!"
Hans didn't eat breakfast, so he rushed over to get it. Liu Qingshan took this opportunity to take out a box of cigars from his bag and handed it to Village Chief Fan: "This is a good thing. Don't let anyone see it. Hide it!"
Liao Xin lay down next to the village chief's ear and explained: "One stick of this thing is equivalent to a month's salary for a city person. Director Liu knows that you like to smoke, so he specially prepared it for you!"
Village Chief Fan shivered all over, but did not refuse. Taking advantage of the confusion, he hurriedly tucked the box of cigarettes into the quilt on the kang.
Wang Jinghua looked at him from a distance, smiled and shook his head. But she knew that from now on, Liu Qingshan had completely defeated the old village chief.
Liu Qingshan is half her artist. Of course she is happy to see her subordinates know how to maintain interpersonal relationships.
There was no room for so many people in the house, and many villagers immediately felt relaxed after taking cigarettes out.
Liu Qingshan shouted to the village elder's wife: "Auntie, do you have any ready-made meals? I rushed here as soon as I got off the plane. I didn't even have time to eat yesterday's dinner!"
This trick worked really well. Village Chief Fan followed up and shouted: "Old lady, bring the green onions for dipping sauce!"
He immediately explained to Liu Qingshan: "The green onions are pure Zhangqiu green onions that my eldest son sent from Lu Province. They are very sweet!"
Liu Qingshan said happily: "I really like eating it because I am from Shandong Province!"
"Oh my god, I still want to show off. You people from Shandong Province are the living ancestors who eat pancakes rolled with green onions. Isn't that embarrassing!"
Everyone at the scene was laughing.
Those foreigners had already gnawed on the corn. Not to mention, it is really not easy to eat such authentic steamed corn outside the Northeast. The corn flavor is the strongest and the texture is the fullest.
The key is to use firewood to boil water. The stronger the firepower, the more quickly the aroma of food will be stimulated. Burning firewood can make the fire very strong, but it is difficult to reach that level with gas and natural gas firepower at home.
After these people finished chewing the corn, they turned their attention to the green onion dipping sauce in Liu Qingshan's hand. This is how foreigners are, the more Chinese folk things are, the easier it is to arouse their interest.
Seeing Village Chief Fan seem a little reluctant to give up, after all, pure Zhangqiu green onions are difficult to buy.
After Liu Qingshan invited a few foreigners to sit down, he immediately patted his chest and promised: "I will ask someone to send you a cart someday, and I will ensure that you can eat until the end of this year!"
Village Chief Fan immediately became generous: "Old woman, wash the remaining half of the bundle and bring it up. Follow our international friends and eat first!"
Liu Qingshan worked more neatly. He dialed the number in front of him and asked for the detailed address. Within a few days, Village Chief Fan would receive a tricycle full of green onions.
The people from Huaying huddled in the crowd and nagged to Wang Huansheng: "Your boss has finally understood the ways of the world. We Northeasterners are just like this! Look, Lao Fan and his family will definitely be right from today on." He is closer than his own son!"
Wang Huansheng said happily: "What if this guy can start such a big business? He is only in his twenties, and his mind wanders faster than an old man!"
In fact, this is the case. After finding out that Liu Qingshan was going to stay at the lumber factory for the night, Aunt Fan took the initiative to invite him: "That boy from the Liu family, I will stay with my aunt from now on, and I will stew a goose for you every night!"
Liu Qingshan had actually been eyeing the two vacated rooms of the Fan family for a long time. Their two sons and daughter-in-law had all gone out to work.
"I don't care, it's just that I can't bear these foreigners living with us in a factory outside. Don't worry, you won't miss a penny of the rent!"
He also looked at Frederick and the others, who seemed to like the country food here, not because of the green onions dipped in soybean paste, but because of the pickled cabbage dumplings, which these guys were eating with their mouths full of oil.
Almost every household in the northeastern countryside freezes dumplings in the yard, and the taste is not ordinary.
Village Chief Fan made the decision on the spot: "Both of my boys have gone out to work, and there is a house for them to live in. No matter whether it is money or not, we are not allowed to talk about it again in the future!"
Liu Qingshan told several foreigners about this matter, and Frederick beamed with joy: "Boss, we are willing to pay our own money and eat these pickled cabbage dumplings every meal, and it doesn't take much effort!"
As the owner, how could he let them pay? The matter was settled in just a few words.
He won't follow. There are a bunch of people around him, and they can't squeeze into this small space.
Besides, the foreigners don’t need to live with the crew, so it’s much more convenient to stay here.
Not daring to waste time, the crew set up a camera at the end of the village in the morning and quickly got into work.
The next day, he immediately ran to the nearby coal yard. Liu Qingshan had the completed plot in his mind, so he concentrated on shooting the relevant plot in one place, which did not affect the entire shooting plan at all and greatly saved time.
The workers in the coal plant are ready-made extras. Many people here know Liu Qingshan, and they quickly become familiar with each other.
Originally, the crew planned to use the dormitory here, but for people who dig coal all day long, even if the hygiene in the dormitory can be guaranteed, it is almost always dark everywhere, so they finally gave up here.
Moreover, fireworks are prohibited in the coal mining area, and most of the crew smoke, making it inconvenient to get in and out.
For three days in a row, under Liu Qingshan's effective scheduling, the scene about the coal factory was completed, and the entire crew was officially stationed in the army camp.
Many of the remaining scenes will be completed here. A few days ago, the officers and soldiers here had dug a temporary cemetery around the most remote vegetable field in the camp.
The local rural people are still very taboo about this kind of thing, and only by building it here can we save more verbal lawsuits.
This camp is not the same as the company that shot the war scenes before, but each has its own division.
But with Feng Kuohai, who was sent by the General Affairs Department, and an observation group composed of several senior military officials earlier, how could the people here not know.
Therefore, the whole camp still attaches great importance to their settlement.
Even during the filming a few days ago, the company took the initiative to send out a cooking team to help solve the food problem for hundreds of families. After all, there are no box lunches in the wilderness.
It is said that this batch of crew members also suffered a lot with Liu Qingshan. Not only did they experience the days of setting up tents in temperatures as low as minus 20 degrees, but they also experienced sleeping on wooden boards in the factory.
These are not the most painful. In such severe cold weather, the crew spent a whole day shooting outside. In such bad weather, no matter how many layers of clothes you wear, it will not make any difference.
Why does the crew have to organize a collective foot bath every night? If you don't relax your frozen feet and activate their blood circulation as soon as possible, you're guaranteed to have extensive frostbite the next day.
Whether the crew can afford medical subsidies is another matter. Every day the filming progress is delayed, people will have to endure one more day. This torture is unbearable for ordinary people.
Therefore, after entering the local camp, Liu Qingshan waved his hand, and the food expenses were increased every night. I dare not say that every dinner will be rich in fish and meat, but at least it can ensure that everyone can eat and sweat profusely.
During the filming here, Liu Qingshan once again put on costumes.
He is the only one who appears in a bright image in the whole movie. The American equipment he wore before was still very popular, but this time he changed into a fairly straight Su's military uniform, which is also clearly different from the starring Gu Zi. .
For this reason, Zhang Hanyu often encountered various complaints. For example, today, he started complaining about the high military boots on Liu Qingshan's feet.
"I said Director Liu, we can't always attack people like this. Will one day you have to put on a fur cloak and show off in front of us?"
Liu Qingshan chuckled and said, "Stop complaining here. Almost every one of you has a scene of heroic sacrifice that is embarrassing. Once the movie is released, you will be the most impressive. My role is dispensable, so Just a little bit of the benefits of neat clothing!”
In fact, he understood Zhang Hanyu's grievance very well. None of the main supporting characters in the film had a clean face. Almost everyone's body was dirty from birth to death.
Moreover, in order to maintain the consistency of the shot the next day, many people went to bed covered in mud and water at night, and the feeling was much more miserable than that of other people on the crew.
Zhang Hanyu has always been a man of few words in the crew, and he won't complain all the time: "I heard that your next work will be two TV series in a row, both of which are military-themed. Why didn't you find a role for your brother?"
Liu Qingshan looked around and whispered: "I only invested in and provided the scripts for the two dramas. The director and producers did not participate! You will be in my next movie, which is also a military theme, but there is no war. The scene is our first espionage blockbuster in mainland China, and it’s very demanding on acting skills!”
Zhang Hanyu's eyes immediately widened: "My role is..."
"You play the role of the captain of the puppet army's bandit suppression team!"
