Chapter 286 Great Wall

After returning to China, except for some necessary activities, Jiang Xiao basically stayed at Gao Yuanyuan's house. Whenever he had nothing to do, he would talk about life and ideals with the young lady. He lived a very comfortable life.

It wasn't until February, when the Spring Festival was approaching, that he returned to his hometown alone to prepare for the New Year.

After all, he was busy filming "Wushuang" last year and didn't have time to go home for a reunion. He will definitely make up for it this year, so Jiang Xiao also deliberately reduced his workload.

After returning home, he was not idle and started some planning. He planned to build a winding mountain road to the top of the back mountain, and even planned to build a house on it.

This idea originated from Da Meiyuan. Although she only mentioned it accidentally at the time, Jiang Xiao took it to heart.

Of course, it was not entirely because of Gao Yuanyuan's accidental words, but mainly because of his own intention to move.

How to say?

In fact, he has always liked special buildings in special environments, such as the male protagonist's house by the sea in "Iron Man", or in Europe, there are many castles and villas built on the edge of mountains.

Therefore, the mountain behind my hometown has cliffs, maple forests, and lakes. It is definitely an ideal place.

But it's not that easy to accomplish this. First of all, the back mountain is collectively owned by the village, and Jiang Xiao cannot monopolize it for no reason.

Therefore, the first problem to be solved is a contracting issue. Fortunately, his family is still well-connected. In addition, he has donated money to build roads in the village on a daily basis. The construction will officially start after the Spring Festival.

Therefore, contracting the back mountain, a barren mountain that in the eyes of the villagers was steep and difficult to climb and of little use, was almost unanimously approved.

After all, if Jiang Xiao takes over the contract, he will be paid a contract fee every year. Even if it is not a lot, it is still an income in the eyes of the villagers.

After finalizing the matter, he went to Chengdu again, found a well-known and powerful design firm, and prepared to let professionals plan and design it.

This is also very convenient. You don't have to worry about everything. You only need to throw money. His celebrity status has made the office lively for a while.

From this Jiang Xiao also realized that he must sign a confidentiality agreement with the firm to prevent this matter from being spread out. When it is time to keep a low profile, he should keep a low profile to avoid being taken advantage of by someone who is interested.

…………

In mid-February, Jiang Xiao, who originally wanted to return to the capital after the Lantern Festival, ended up leaving home early because he was going to Shanghai to attend an endorsement event.

When the event was over, he did not return to his hometown again, and the time was not different by a few days, so he treated it as returning to the capital early.

However, as soon as Jiang Xiao returned to the capital, he received a piece of news that was not good news, regarding "Witness by All".

The film has basically completed post-production, but when it was submitted for review, it got stuck. I didn't know where the problem was, and it instantly broke Lemon Entertainment's follow-up arrangements.

Jiang Xiao himself had nothing to do about this, he could only solve the problem as soon as there was a problem.

Director Lin Shi was watching the later stages of the film, and he didn't know if there was any difference between the edited film and the film in his memory. Otherwise, why was it stuck?

So he took some time to watch the finished film with Lin Shi. Not to mention, there were some differences in the process that Jiang Xiao discovered, and that might be the reason.

Taking the opportunity, Jiang Xiao naturally reminded the former and asked him to take it back and revise it again.

As for whether it will be stuck again, we can only wait for the results of another review.

…………

A few days later, the Great Wall.

"Hello, Teacher Jiang, my name is Wang Yingfei, and I am one of the directors of this shooting."

"Hello, Teacher Jiang, my name is Wang Lingfei, and I am also one of the directors of this shooting."

"Oh, hello directors. Judging from your names, you are brother and sister?"

As soon as Jiang Xiao got out of the car with Zhao Liying, he saw a young man and a woman approaching him. After an introduction, he found out that they were directors.

He is really young, and he looks to be no more than a few years older than him.

Then he naturally had some guesses about the names of two people who were very similar in style and looked like siblings.

"Teacher Jiang, you have misunderstood. Our names do sound a bit like brother and sister, but in fact they are not. It is just a coincidence. You and I are fellow villagers from the same province, we are Le San, and Wang Yingfei is a native of the capital."

Hearing Jiang Xiao's rhetorical question, Wang Lingfei smiled and explained. In order to further shorten the distance, he also revealed his identity as a native of Shu Province.

"Really? Okay, fellow fellow, and Director Wang, I will follow your arrangements from now on!"

Although he didn't guess correctly, Jiang Xiao didn't mean anything. After laughing, he got to the point.

Because he had already noticed that there were tourists not far away who seemed to recognize him and shouted his name. If the security guards hadn't blocked him, they would have probably rushed over to him.

And this is the entrance to the Great Wall. Jiang Xiao definitely doesn't want to cause chaos due to his own reasons, so it's best to climb the Great Wall first before talking about anything else.

In addition, I have to say that he came here not for sightseeing, otherwise why would there be two directors waiting for him.

In fact, it was for no other reason than to come here to shoot the music video for "The Capital Welcomes You". It just so happened that Jiang Xiao needed to appear on the Great Wall.

No, because of this incident, half of the Great Wall was sealed. To be more precise, the South Great Wall was sealed, while the North Great Wall remained open.

"Okay, Teacher Jiang, please come here, and then I will tell you about the specific shooting details."

Hearing this, Wang Yingfei took over the conversation before Wang Lingfei this time, and as she continued to climb the South Great Wall, she began to talk to Jiang Xiao about the specific situation.

Jiang Xiao himself naturally listened attentively and roughly understood that the shooting was not complicated at all, it was quite simple.

It was him standing on the South Great Wall, with his back to the North Great Wall, singing his own lyrics and opening his arms in a welcoming gesture.

By then, whether it is him or Building No. 8, which is the highest point on the North Great Wall, and the hillside a little below Building No. 8, the ten characters "One World, One Dream" erected for the Olympics will all come into view together.

, the whole shooting was probably like this.

Speaking of which, after hearing this, Jiang Xiao actually remembered something. He had the impression that the star appearing on the Great Wall in "Welcome to the Capital" seemed to be Cheng Lin, but he didn't expect that it would be him now.

…………

From 10:30 in the morning to about 4:30 in the afternoon, excluding the lunch break, it took nearly five hours. After all kinds of twists and turns, Jiang Xiao finally filmed his scene in "Welcome to the Capital".

Although only one was used in the MV, the materials were naturally different. First, I tried shooting at different locations on the South Great Wall to find the angle and see the effect.

After confirming the best position, I took many shots in succession before finally getting it right.

It sounds like nothing, but you have to know that the Great Wall can be used here. In steep places, you really need to climb. Climb the Great Wall. Climb the Great Wall. It obviously makes sense to add the word "climb" in front of it.

In fact, the South Great Wall is not bad. In my memory, Jiang Xiao has been to the Great Wall once and knows that the steepest part of the Great Wall is actually the section down from Building 8 of the North Great Wall.

It's so steep that it looks almost vertical in some places.

In short, the Great Wall is really steep, and it was not an easy task to actually shoot on it, equipment, etc., and to move the shooting location every time, so it took more than four hours.

Putting all this aside, when the work was done and he came to the temporary resting place on the Great Wall, Jiang Xiao glanced at the knife girl who handed him hot water, then smiled and asked softly: "What's wrong, Yingbao, do you want to climb the Great Wall?"

"

"Hey, brother Jiang Xiao, you noticed it, it's a bit of a surprise, it's my first time here at the Great Wall!"

Zhao Liying did not hide her yearning, and upon hearing this, Zhao Liying immediately admitted it.

"Then you wait a moment and I'll ask if I can stay for a while."

Seeing this, Jiang Xiao thought for a moment and prepared to ask Wang Lingfei and Wang Yingfei.

It's already half past four, so the South Great Wall shouldn't be open to tourists anymore, right?

In addition, the filming crew also needs time to move the filming equipment that was fortunate enough to be moved to the Great Wall, and then it will also take time.

Taking this opportunity, Jiang Xiao could just take Zhao Liying for a walk around the South Great Wall.

Normally, when I come here, I won't seal off the Great Wall just for him. Even if it's just the South Great Wall, at least he's not that important yet.

"Um!"
