Flame Covers the Sky[Entertainment]

Chapter 37

The first filming location of "Warring States" was chosen in the famous Devil City.

The word "devil" sounds shocking and domineering, but it is actually a rare geological landform. The desolate Gobi desert, the sky full of yellow sand and loess, and the piles of rocks that nature has crafted by nature, these simple elements outline the desolate and tragic scene of the Northwest. beauty.

After the two groups of crew members met, they chartered a car from Urumqi to Taklama, the city of oil, in the afternoon. That night, the crew took a few shots at the Gobi stalls on the outskirts of the city.

The location of the oil town is remote, the population is sparse, and there are not many hotels with good conditions in the center of the city. The drama manager managed to book a luxurious double bed room for Xing Tian, ​​but Xing Tian seemed unhappy at all. A Xu knew the reason, so it was meaningless The express hotel where Yan Zixiao lives is two streets away from the star hotel where Xing Tian lives.

At [-] o'clock in the evening, the oil city is still dark, and the golden orange sunset splashes the earth, and all the buildings seem to be dyed with golden light, giving off a shining brilliance. The streets of the city gradually become quiet, and the silhouette of the city is more desolate than the lonely smoke in the desert. alone.

After dinner, Xing Tian asked Yan Zixiao to go shopping at the night market.The people in the small town are simple and kind, and most of them have never been out of the city. Xing Tian wears ordinary clothes and a mask, so he is hardly recognized when he walks on the street.

"Director Yan, what do you want to eat?"

Yan Zixiao thought for a while, and said: "When you come to Xinjiang, you have to eat local kebabs, with lamb offal, hot and sour tripe and cold beer. It feels good."

What kind of strange collocation, Xing Tian was puzzled.

However, the two happened to be standing in front of a Uyghur barbecue stall. The charcoal-grilled meat was full of aroma, and the burnt streaky mutton was sizzling. Xing Tian had a little appetite, "Then eat this restaurant .”

The night market had very simple stalls, and the environment was dirty and messy. Yan Zixiao chose a fairly clean place. Under Xing Tian's disgusted expression, he wiped it several times with a paper towel, and helped his little ancestor to sit on the plastic chair.

"It's the first time I've eaten at a roadside stall." Xing Tian picked up a greasy menu with his fingertips, looking forward to it with disgust.

"When I was a soldier, I could eat a hundred skewers of this kind of meat at one go." Yan Zixiao felt that the dirty stall had a rare intimacy, and he even recalled the past.

"You used to like to eat this?"

"That's right, especially the hot and sour tripe. I usually order a plate with five northern Shaanxi white skin cakes. It's considered a toothbrush."

"Is life in the army boring?"

"No, I lived a fulfilling life every day. At that time, I wished I could be a soldier of the country for the rest of my life."

Xing Tian was a bit overwhelmed, his past experience was completely different from Yan Zixiao's. After work, he would hang out with a group of cronies, race cars, gamble and pick up women, and they would play however they felt comfortable.When it's better, it's just picking a few profitable projects to invest in and earn some pocket money.

The efficiency of the stall is very high, and the mutton skewers are served quickly. Xing Tian took a small bite tentatively. The meat is fat and tender, with a delicious burnt aroma. , Xing Tian has fallen in love with this unique local food.

"Boss, 20 more skewers."

Yan Zixiao couldn't help laughing and said, "Be careful to spoil your stomach."

Xing Tian opened a bottle of beer, raised his head and drank a big gulp, "It's so fucking cool!"

After supper, the two walked towards the hotel together. Xinjiang in August is really a harvest season with fragrant melons and fruits. The two passed by a fruit stand. Yan Zixiao picked out a green watermelon and asked the boss to cut it up on the spot.

Xing Tian and Yan Zixiao happily finished a melon.

The two arrived at Xing Tian's hotel first, and Xing Tian said drunkenly: "Yan Zixiao, I live in a big bed room, don't leave, let's sleep together."

Yan Zixiao pretended not to hear. He entrusted Xing Tian to the front desk and returned to his hotel, but he didn't know that Xing Tian suddenly fell ill in the middle of the night, which alarmed the entire crew.

The focus was gastroenteritis, and the doctor diagnosed that it was caused by acclimatization. After taking two bottles of intravenous drip and taking a good rest for a day, it was fine.

This incident really made Yan Zixiao feel guilty, he should have thought that the eldest young master's stomach is delicate and can't stand it.So as soon as the next day's work was over, Yan Zixiao bought some hot steamed buns and side dishes, and went to visit Xing Tian.

Xing Tian was sickly lying on the bed playing with his mobile phone, taking selfies for a while, fighting the landlord for a while, logging in to the trumpet and scolding his black fans for a while, living a comfortable and boring life.

It wasn't until Yan Zixiao came that Xing Tian's spirit improved a lot.

"Yan Zhi, I want to eat lamb skewers."

"Tighten your mouth, you can only drink porridge."

"Then you feed me, okay?"

"You have hands and feet, don't you want me to be ashamed?"

"What's there to be ashamed of in front of the person you like. Besides, I remember that once you were sick, I also fed you porridge with my own hands."

The two talked to each other, fighting with each other, suddenly A Xu's voice came from outside the door: "Young Master Xing, the young master is here!"

"My brother, come to Karamay?"

"Well, Master Ruiyu happened to be on a business trip in L City, and when he heard that you were sick, he immediately flew to see you."

"Fuck!" Xing Tian immediately got up from the bed, dressed neatly, as if he dared not make any mistakes in his private life.

The door was quickly opened from the outside, and a mature and stable man walked in. His facial features were somewhat similar to Xing Tian's, but not as exquisite and beautiful as Xing Tian's. He looked more than ten years older than Xing Tian - Xing Ruiyu, Xing Tian's half-brother brother.

Xing Tian's natal name was Xing Ruihan, but he was weak and sick since he was a child, and wandered around the gate of hell several times. The elders of the Xing family invited a Taoist expert to help Xiao Ruihan's fortune-telling. However, the name is too bookish to support the fate of being rich and powerful. The Taoist priest helped Xing Ruihan to re-create the single name, Tian, ​​Xing Tian, ​​which means standing proudly in the world, surpassing fate, and invincible.

The Xing family has two sons. The eldest son, Xing Ruiyu, is extremely intelligent and business-minded. He supported his father to create a business myth of the Xing Group. That is, when Xing Ruiyu participated in the management of the Xing Group, the Xing Group acquired two companies in the industry. An entertainment company whose business involves artist packaging, record distribution, movie production, brokerage, etc., has officially secured its top position as a bigwig in the entertainment industry.

Although the youngest son Xing Tian's ability is not as good as his elder brother's, he is born to be a star and is used to shine on the stage. The Chinese entertainment circle without Xing Tian will be eclipsed.

Xing's father has a traditional family education, and he has been strict with Xing Tian since he was a child. Xing Tian is rebellious by nature and hardly listens to Xing's father.But for his elder brother Xing Ruiyu, Xing Tian admires and admires him from the bottom of his heart-so, the relationship between the two brothers is very harmonious. Children, how could Xing's father and Xing's mother be willing to let their precious son perform as a performer?

"Xiaotian." Xing Ruiyu passed in front of Yan Zixiao, as if he didn't take Yan Zixiao seriously.

"Big brother!"

"Why are you so careless, your stomach can still be eaten. I have never seen you have an upset stomach before."

"The doctor said that the gastroenteritis was caused by acclimatization, and it's not a problem. Let the elder brother worry about it."

Xing Ruiyu told Zhu Xiaoxu, "Ah Xu, he has a recurrence of stomach problems. I think half of it is because you didn't take good care of him. Let my brother take medicine on time. If there is another accident like this, you can go back to the ancestral house and inherit your father's craftsmanship."

Zhu Xiaoxu didn't dare to respond, for fear of saying one more wrong word.

"Brother, you're serious, it's none of Axu's business. By the way, let me introduce a friend, Yan Zixiao, come here!"

Yan Zixiao frowned and walked in front of Xing Ruiyu. The height difference between the two is not much, but in terms of aura, Yan Zixiao and men are not at the same level at all.

Xing Ruiyu didn't talk to Yan Zixiao much, he just looked at Yan Zixiao with cold eyes, Xing Ruiyu chatted with his younger brother about the family affairs, and then left.

When the person involved was away, Xing Tian spoke without restraint.

"Is my elder brother scary?"

Yan Zixiao was thoughtful: "It's okay."

"Haha, he usually manages me like this, like a living hell. When I was young, he and I were kidnapped by Xing's rival. At that time, I was young and I didn't have a deep impression. It was my brother and those idiots who didn't know what to do. Fight wits and bravery, otherwise I will have to go to the underworld and become a superstar."

Yan Zixiao didn't speak.

Xing Tian thought to himself, let Yan Zixiao and his brother formally meet another day.

******

The next day, Xing Tian's stomach was healed. Xing Tian worked very hard and was extremely efficient. It took him two days to catch up with the work progress that had fallen behind.The young master is usually unreliable, but he is absolutely unambiguous in major matters.

At work, Xing Tian is not a squeamish young man from a rich family. He does whatever the director asks him to do, and he works hard without complaint, even if the lump in his calf does not allow him to do too much intense exercise.

Therefore, the crew stayed in Devil City for two days before leaving and heading to the next destination—Ili Prairie.

The grassland landscape in autumn is magnificent, the sky is blue, the weeds are vast, and the vast sky and ground are connected by handsome snow peaks. The beautiful prairie is like a quiet and pure paradise.

The crew rented dozens of off-road vehicles.The motorcade shuttled through the sea of ​​lavender flowers. There were groups of cattle and sheep on the hillside not far away, and snow-white yurts could be seen from time to time. The yurts were like gems, dotted on the colorful grassland.From time to time, Kazakhs with unique costumes passed by. Someone from the crew greeted them from a distance, and the simple aborigines responded enthusiastically.

"It's so magnificent!" Xing Tian opened the car window, took a deep breath of the fresh air with the fragrance of green grass, and said to the director in the back seat: "Uncle, the filming is over, I want to take a two-day vacation here." Xing Tian looked It seems to be rich in emotion, but in fact it is rarely expressed with sincerity. The magnificent beauty of the grassland in front of him really shocked him. He couldn't find an adjective to describe it. He began to plan whether to buy this grassland again and use it for him to relax in the future.

The crew is still short of the last two war scenes that took place on the grassland, and it is estimated that they can be completed in one day. The end of this war scene also means the end of the two-month filming work-the crew of "Warring States" is about to wrap up.

The PR negotiated with the local government and rented a few yurts of the aboriginal people as a temporary living place. After a short rest, everyone devoted themselves to the next scene.

How could ancient war lack horses?Xing Tian was the protagonist, and the props team carefully selected a tall, mighty, docile white horse for him. Xing Tian touched the plump and strong back of the horse and continued to conceive of his vacation plan. A horse farm must be built on the grassland. It’s okay. While he was doing it, he could walk the horse and play.

Xing Tian stepped on the saddle skillfully, gently pulled the rein near the horse's mouth, and ran for two laps.

There was a yurt not far away, a man and a woman sat face to face, chatting and laughing from time to time, Xing Tian looked at the dazzling scene, a deep light flashed in his eyes—there was a grassland and a horse, but he enjoyed it alone. I'm afraid it's too lonely, adding a man he likes, everything will be fine!
