Tang Xiaoxiao nodded slightly, looked back and motioned to the crew to unload a lot of things from the car.
"Mr. Liu, there are so many of us living and eating in the village. I'm really embarrassed, so I just brought you something... What was brought from the car was rice, flour and oil, which is enough for a few months. I heard Sister Ping said that the primary school in the village is short of teaching materials and teaching aids, so I brought you some books, blackboards and chalk. I don’t know if they are suitable, so you should keep them for now.”
Mr. Liu's expression turned anxious, "What's so embarrassing about this? You guys are just here to eat and live here for a while, how can we have the nerve to collect your things? Take it back quickly!"
Tang Xiaoxiao smiled, with a sincere and gratified smile on his face, and took the initiative to support Mr. Liu, "Mr. Liu, what's so embarrassing about this? Dozens of us eat and live here, if it's true Free food and free accommodation are really embarrassing for us. Moreover, I have learned about the situation in the village before. The children are short of books and teaching aids... If you refuse again, won't you be delaying these children? "
If anything else, Mr. Liu was arrogant by nature and naturally refused to accept such a gift, but when Tang Xiaoxiao mentioned the children in the village, he was completely speechless.
The children in the village sit next to the ancient well at the entrance of the village every day, squatting on the ground and learning to write and read. Their textbooks are old textbooks bought by people in the village who walked seven or eight hours to the town. There are only three of the more than forty children. Four books, when it is cloudy and rainy, they can only get into the cowshed to attend class...
If there was no blackboard, they took the old man's coffin board as a blackboard; if there was no chalk, they used the black color of half-burned branches as chalk; if there were no books, they went to the garbage dump in the town to pick them up and used branches on the ground. Writing and drawing, each additional word learned made the children so happy.
This is the situation in this village.
Mr. Liu took a few deep breaths from the pipe pot, puffed out a few circles under his eyes, finally sighed softly, and never declined again.
Why should we be poor? Education cannot be poor... Although this village is poor and backward, it still understands this truth.
When Tang Xiaoxiao took Su Luo and the others to visit, the girls' eyes were all red. They, who had always been glamorous in front of others, couldn't imagine why there was such a thing in this world. Why was there such a thing? With such innocent and shy eyes, why can't the world be more fair...
The sound of reading loudly came from the dilapidated shed. Listening to the sound of reading with a difficult dialect accent, many actors in the crew seemed to understand something...
"This is this village. In addition to the superficial scenery and light in this world, there is also darkness that you have never imagined. What I want to use this movie to interpret is the darkness of this world and the struggle of human nature." Tang Xiaoxiao stared at Everyone said calmly, "You can try to compare with them and see where you are lacking as a professional actor."
All the leading actors nodded their heads and remained silent.
Tang Xiaoxiao finally turned his attention to Xu Liangpei, who was standing in the crowd. This veteran actor is not an artist from Xinghua Entertainment. He relies on his aura as a movie king and has always thought highly of himself. He looks down on the newly rising younger generation of artists, and he also has a strong opinion of the director Tang Xiaoxiao.
However, today this proud tiger finally lowered his head, looking at this poor little village in shock and unbearable, as docile as a kitten.
"Mr. Xu, how are you?" Tang Xiaoxiao walked over with a slight smile and asked softly, "Now... do you still think that I am making things difficult for you by licking you?"
Xu Liangpei's face showed a bit of embarrassment, but he lowered his head sincerely, "Director Tang, I'm sorry, I was too self-righteous. I thought that after so many years of training, my performance had become perfect. Now I see... It turns out that there is no end to learning, and there is no end to acting either. As the principal of this elementary school, I failed to perform well."
Tang Xiaoxiao smiled with satisfaction. She still had some respect for this respected old actor. However, with the smooth sailing of Xu Liangpei in recent years, he gradually became a little complacent. This time, he singled out Xu Liangpei. When I came to play the role of the elementary school principal in "Drawing Water", I also had good intentions and wanted to wake him up.
"It's good that you know." Tang Xiaoxiao smiled at the end, turned to Sister Ping and said loudly, "Sister Ping, tell the parents of the children that I would like to temporarily hire the children and some villagers in the village as mass workers. The fee for actors is 50 yuan per person per day. If you are willing, let the people below make arrangements."
Hearing that the new crew wanted to hire people to shoot movies, the whole village became excited. For them, the salary of 50 yuan per person per day was simply an unimaginable amount. The highest income in the village was The annual income of each household is 800 yuan, which is equivalent to dozens of yuan per month...
This fifty yuan is equivalent to the monthly income of many people, and this is the income of each person. If it were a child, I am afraid the income would be even more!
Looking at the excited children and the sincere smiles of the young artists, something warm suddenly flowed out of Xu Liangpei's eyes. Was he really old
The reason why I have always despised these younger generation actors is that they are hype and squeamish, and have completely lost the quality and dedication that the older generation of artists should have. But today, it seems that although this group of younger generation actors are squeamish and squeamish, No matter what the means, their hearts are still kind. They have not forgotten their responsibilities and use their acting skills to convey their backbone and responsibilities as actors!
"Cheng Mu!"
A calm and strong voice suddenly sounded.
Cheng Mu turned his head suddenly and saw Xu Liangpei looking at him with an awkward smile. He was no longer as arrogant and unapproachable as when they first met. At this time, he was as kind and kind as a truly respected senior...
Suddenly, Cheng Mu seemed to feel that Xu Liangpei had transformed from a cocoon into a butterfly in an instant.
"Mr. Xu..."
Xu Liangpei took a step forward, patted Cheng Mu on the shoulder, and showed a friendly and kind smile, "You are very good. Although I don't want to admit it, I have to admit that when I was your age, I was definitely not as good as you. Your acting skills. Come on, I hope to see you active on the international stage in the future."
A faint smile broke out on Cheng Mu's face, and he nodded seriously and firmly, "I will, thank you, Brother Xu!"
With the villagers and children acting in their true colors, this originally tear-jerking script became even more real and moving in the hands of Tang Xiaoxiao, with real faces full of vicissitudes of life, pairs of eyes that are ignorant and full of hope, and they are full of hope all the time. They all tug at the heartstrings of everyone in the crew.
Although the three IOC girls do not have any heavy filming tasks, they only occasionally make cameos and show their faces in the movie. The rest of the time they hang out among the children, completely becoming the kings of the children, and they even privately discuss IOC's next singing Things that will happen.
When the movie was about to be finished, Tang Xiaoxiao once again sent a batch of materials to the village. He also spent a lot of money to build a primary school for the village with bright windows and even made a documentary at no cost...
When I went back, all the children in the village ran out of the primary school and said goodbye to these beautiful and kind-hearted brothers and sisters with tears. So many villagers and children waved their arms to send them off one journey after another. It was these brothers who The sisters gave them a new path and gave these children new hope and future in their lives.
Sun Ling and Su Luo waved their arms to the children with tears in their eyes and said goodbye. Although they had only been together for two months, the relationship between them was extremely deep and harmonious.
"Okay, don't be reluctant to leave. There is no such thing as a banquet that lasts forever. We all have to be separated eventually. They have their own lives." Tang Xiaoxiao looked quietly at the scenery outside the car window, gently stroking a child and saying goodbye. He gave his own brown stone, a smile on his lips, and looked back at a few girls, "There are thousands of villages like this in the western region. They are not the only one, nor are they the most miserable... I don't know everyone. Is there anything you want to say?"
"Sister Tang, shall we do something for them?" ** Yan said affirmatively.
Na Sheng also nodded desperately and said shyly, "I can donate my income to them."
"The same goes for mine. I will donate everything except daily expenses." Sun Ling wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.
Tang Xiaoxiao shook her head helplessly, "No, you are wrong. Charity and public welfare are not things that can be achieved overnight. You have donated your income to them now... What about the future? When you see even more pitiful people in the future, what else will you donate? As an idol, your approach is the stupidest. You can help one or two people, but you cannot help thousands of people."
"Then what should we do?" Su Luo asked.
Tang Xiaoxiao raised his eyebrows, rubbed the jade bracelet on his hand, and said calmly, "It's very simple. Use your influence as artists and idols to call the whole society's attention to the western region, and ask the whole society to find ways to help them. Get rid of poverty. How about making our premiere a charity event for the whole society?"
Xu Liangpei also became interested, "Director Tang, how do you say this?"
"It's very simple, combine the premiere of this movie and the concert of the IOC group, and all the artists of our Xinghua Entertainment will participate... In addition, we can also call on friends in the industry to participate in this charity ceremony, All funds raised will be used to help out-of-school children in the western region."
As he said that, Tang Xiaoxiao suddenly turned his attention to the IOC group, "You are now the most popular girl group in China. I want to put the production of your fifth album on the schedule as soon as possible and combine this album with charity. This will also help improve your reputation.”
**Yan, Sun Ling, and Na Sheng looked at each other and suddenly said in unison, "Sister Tang, will you also sing when the time comes?"
