Top class he is versatile

Chapter 11

Zhou You ran to the front, "Grandpa Meng!"

Meng Guangze had a bad face just a second ago, but when he saw Zhou You, he immediately put on a kind smile.

"You Wazi! You're here!" Meng Guangze happily patted Zhou You. Seeing his costume, he looked at Zhou You, Zheng Beilou and the others suspiciously: "Hey, so you are with them?"

Zheng Beilou hadn't gone far, when he heard the movement, he looked back and saw Meng Guangze hugging Zhou You affectionately.

"Wait," Zheng Beilou waved his hand, calling to stop the returning team, "The situation is turning around!"

He stepped forward quickly, and after confirming that Zhou You and Meng Guangze had a good relationship, he immediately said, "Master, we are all Zhou You's friends, can we go in and shoot?"

Meng Guangze changed his tough attitude before, "I told you that you are in the same group! I treat You Wazi as my grandson, come in!"

Zheng Beilou hurriedly called someone to inform the crew to come back and enter the pear tree garden to shoot.

"Thank you, thank you... Hey, Xiao Zhou, how did you meet Uncle Meng?" Zheng Beilou asked Zhou You suspiciously.

Zhou You scratched his head, "I passed by last time and did Grandpa Meng a small favor."

"Hey! Look at what you said, is that a small favor?" Meng Guangze said excitedly, "If you didn't see something wrong, all the new pears in my garden would have suffered!"

A few days ago, I traveled around here, and I was surprised to see the pear blossoms in the garden.

He planted a lot of trees in his hometown, and it is said that the pears should bloom in February and March. Out of curiosity, Zhou You took a second look, and then he saw black circular lesions the size of needles growing on the tender leaves of the pear trees.

This is a symptom of pear black spot, which is harmful to the flowers, leaves and fruits of pear trees.

This pear orchard is not small, if it is all damaged by disease, the loss will be huge.

Zhou You quickly found the owner of the garden, Meng Guangze, and reported the situation to him.

Meng Guangze had only planted pears in this garden a few years ago, and this was the first year the pears were bearing fruit. He was inexperienced, so he panicked.

Later, Zhou You told him about the treatment of pear black spot disease. Meng Guangze went to the town to buy the medicine, and after spraying it, it really effectively curbed the spread of the pear tree disease. Zhou You then followed him to treat the diseased flowers and leaves. Only then did the pear forest be preserved.

Meng Guangze was still shocked when he recalled it: "The medicine you prepared is good! Fortunately, you discovered it early, otherwise my garden of pears would have been miserable."

Zheng Beilou had never dealt with farm work in his life, and he couldn't help being curious after hearing this: "Hey, Xiao Zhou, will you treat the tree?"

"Isn't that so?" Meng Guangze boasted as if showing off his grandson: "Our kid knows everything and is so smart! Everyone really cares about him."

Zheng Beilou was quite surprised to realize that Zhou You was very popular in the village.

Sometimes the old people in the village don't like the film crew. No matter what big director or famous actor you are, they don't recognize Meng Guangze, they only recognize Zhou You.

In the final analysis, Zhou You was willing to help others, and he was kind-hearted, which made this good relationship.

Helping the crew solve two troubles one after another, it is hard for Zheng Beilou not to think that Zhou You is the "water that prospers the dragon" in the master's mouth.

After successfully filming the Lishulin scene, Zheng Beilou, who was temporarily free, chatted casually with the screenwriter about the situation, and the screenwriter also found it interesting.

The screenwriter is very interested in the culture of gods and Buddhas, which is why she wrote the script of "Into the Nine Heavens".

She suggested: "In this case, Director Zheng, why don't you give Zhou You more roles?"

The plot of the second half of "Entering the Nine Heavens" closely follows the first half. Wan Shanhe showed kindness after saving the injured villagers, helping the elderly, weak, sick and disabled in the village improve their lives and accumulate merit.

Wan Shanhe's intentions were good, but his actions broke the original balance in the village. Some villagers grew greedy, while others became depraved day by day.

Jealousy, disputes, and destruction appeared one after another. After Wan Shanhe realized this, he wanted to stop the loss in time and stop giving benefits to the villagers.

But the contradiction did not disappear because of this, the evil in human nature was aroused, and the villagers who tore off their camouflage could never return to the past, and Datong Village was finally reduced to ashes in the plague and fire.

Therefore, Wan Shanhe realized that all things in the world have their own laws of birth, old age, sickness and death. Although gods can go to heaven and earth, they cannot control the changes of the world.

The screenwriter opened the text, "I was thinking a few days ago that Wan Shanhe was deified because he helped the villagers, but later he was resented by the villagers because he stopped helping the villagers. This contrast is very strong. If the movie skips directly to the end, the progress seems to be too fast. , it is best to give Wan Shanhe another stimulus, a big stimulus..."

Zheng Beilou pondered: "Exciting...how about giving the character Zhou You a 'sacrifice'?"

The villagers who Wan Shanhe rescued on the mountain for the first time are grateful to him, they are his first believers, and they are relatively simple existences in the whole script.

Such a character is also a beautiful symbol in an environment where people's hearts are complicated.

There is nothing more irritating than having something beautiful destroyed.

"Yes," the screenwriter agreed, "Director Zheng, what do you think? If it's okay, I'll start writing and modify it."

"Change, change, send it to me." Zheng Beilou hung up the phone, and not long after, he received the screenwriter's revised scene.

With the addition of this scene, Zheng Beilou really felt that the emotional changes of the characters were more complete. He and the screenwriter made some minor revisions to the details. After finishing the draft, Zheng Beilou asked his assistant to send the new script to the corresponding actors. By the way, inform Zhou You to come to my place.

……

This is the second time that Zhou You has been called in front of Zheng Beilou.

He didn't pay much attention last time, but when Zheng Beilou saw Zhou You this time, he seemed to be a little rounder than before.

I can't say I'm fat, but I finally got some flesh on my face, and it looks more radiant.

This state is just right for the villagers in the middle and late stages of the movie.

Satisfied, Zheng Beilou showed Zhou You the new scene sent by the screenwriter.

"How about it, can you act?" Zheng Beilou asked.

"Yes!" Zhou You's eyes brightened: "Director Zheng, may I still act with Mr. Wei?"

Seeing that he was very happy, Zheng Beilou was curious, "Huh? You also like Wei Jin?"

"Mr. Wei is amazing!" Zhou You seemed to be a fan. In order to perform this scene well, he boldly asked Zheng Beilou for some details.

In the past few days, Zhou You watched the leading actors intermittently. While learning acting skills, he had a general understanding of the whole script, but he had never read the complete script. Zhou You was still not sure about some psychological activities.

No one would dislike studious and hard-working young people. Besides, Zheng Beilou saw that Zhou You had a "koi filter" at the moment, so he patiently explained Zhou You's doubts.

"By the way, there is a tragic death scene this time, can you play it?" Zheng Beilou knew that some people were taboo to play this kind of character, young people were fine, and they had a strong ability to accept, but he still asked, just in case, "It might be a bit awkward to act for the first time, but it will cost more to act in this kind of play. Are you okay?"

According to the rules of the crew, there are subsidies for the group performers who perform kneeling, lying dead, and getting wet in the rain.

Zhou You's eyes brightened when he heard about the extra money, "Okay! Thank you Director Zheng, I will do well!"

Zheng Beilou: "???"

I don't know if it's his delusion, but he seems happier when he hears that Zhou You has added money than when he hears that he has a new role.

No, no, Xiao Zhou looked clean and aboveboard, how could he be the kind of person who has an eye for money?It must be his eyesight.

……

After having a new role, Zhou You cheered up and went to the scene to observe and learn from the performances of the leading actors more frequently. When encountering a place with a wonderful performance, Zhou You would try to imitate two scenes in private.

While filming and learning acting skills, Zhou You began to gather the lonely old people in the village together, playing chess and chatting with the old people, and helping the old people with farm work by the way.

There are many left-behind elderly people in the village, and many of them live alone. The old people live a lonely and monotonous life day after day, which is quite boring.

Left-behind elderly people like this are the loneliest. The news has reported more than once that the elderly living alone were found dead at home for several days. It is really embarrassing to read.

The purpose of Zhouyou at the beginning was to bring everyone together, giving priority to excitement.

The news reached the village chief, who expressed his support after hearing this, and allocated an empty house in the village that had long been unoccupied. The house was not big, but the yard was spacious enough to accommodate many people.

After Zhou You looked at the house, he spent half a day cleaning it up inside and out, and then set up the old tables, chairs and benches sent by the old people he knew, and he was ready to drink tea and play cards.

But drinking tea and playing cards is still too monotonous. People in Siping Village like to listen to operas, and some old ladies can sing a few verses.

So Zhou You and the carpenter built a small movable stage for the old aunts to perform.

One of the performers was Qi Sanming's wife. Under the coercion of his wife, Qi Sanming donated the radio at home to play opera and square dance music.

Inspired by Zhou You, he went to the town to find a set of old audio equipment, and after repairing it, he put it in the activity center.

After the busy farming period, the old people gradually have more free time. Under the propaganda of Zhouyou, everyone comes to the activity center to dance and dance in the morning, drink tea, play cards and chat, and listen to a play in the evening, which not only exercises the body, but also enriches the spirit and nourishes life. There are more smiles on the faces of the old people.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou You began to teach the elders and aunts how to use smartphones.

Information technology is advancing rapidly, and smart phones are not expensive. Many people buy new mobile phones for their parents, but few people teach the elderly how to use them.

Most of the elderly in Siping Village had no chance to read or read when they were young, let alone surf the Internet.

Taking into account the entertainment needs of the elderly, Zhou You mainly teaches functions such as taking pictures and playing.

After learning these operations, Gong Shun, who was familiar with Zhou You, offered to learn how to make video calls.

The elderly are lonely, one is because of the monotonous life, and the other is that they miss their children far away.

Two people who are thousands of miles away can also meet through video calls, which facilitates the communication between people.

Although the operation of video chat is very simple, it takes a lot of effort for some elderly people to remember. This process needs to be repeated repeatedly. The elderly who are more careful are afraid of annoying the children, so they forget it a few times and simply stop asking.

This kind of thing is not uncommon in the countryside. Zhou You took Grandma Gong's suggestion and taught the old people how to video chat with others.

Feng Siming felt that what he did was very meaningful and he was very supportive, so he came to help.

Zhong Hao, mainly because he was bored and had nothing to do, so he also came to play.

With the help of the two of them, Zhou You's task was much easier, and some old people who were fast learners could also help guide other villagers, and the small yard suddenly became lively.

While she was busy, Grandma Gong led another person into the yard.

"Xiao Zhou, your friend is here to help again."
