It was raining heavily in the sky, and a large truck was driving rushing between muddy mountain roads. A middle-aged driver in the cab was driving attentively. The road was very steep, not to mention that it was raining heavily today. Even for a driver who had been on this road for more than ten years, it was a big challenge.

There were five people sitting behind the truck, including men and women. Although it was raining heavily outside, the car was very stuffy and hot, and there were some small beads of sweat on everyone's head. Chen Kaige, who was sitting in the corner, wiped the sweat from his forehead and cursed the bad weather while noticing that Li Yange's face was pale beside him, and he couldn't help asking with concern: "Yan Ge, are you okay?"

"Fortunately, I'm just a little motion sickness." Li Yange squeezed a smile on his pale face. He had no habit of motion sickness, but the mountain roads were rugged and the muddy roads, the car was shaking, and the bumpy feeling seemed to be about to push out all the human internal organs.

"This is what the mountain is like. You'll be in the village soon. You can rest well then." Seeing that Li Yange, a young man, said he was motion sickness, Chen Kaige was a little glad that Professor Du did not come with him. Otherwise, this steep road into the mountain alone would probably have to be sent to the hospital before Professor Du entered the mountain.

"Yeah." Li Yange nodded, endured his physical discomfort, and turned his eyes outside the car. The truck was driving up the mountain. The scenery behind him was backwards. The muddy mountain road was pouring rain, and there was no sign of people around.

The filming of "King of Children" is located in the mountainous areas of Yunnan and Guizhou. Due to the rugged mountain roads, even after decades, it is relatively backward and poor, not to mention now in 1987. The living conditions on the mountain are very poor. According to Chen Kaige, there are about 500 residents and villagers in the mountain, of which 70% of the elderly and young people have gone to work in several cities closest to the mountain.

After more than ten minutes of bumpy journey, the truck finally stopped slowly.

Chen Kaige took the lead in getting out of the car. He stayed here for several months and was quite familiar with the surrounding environment. When he saw the big rocks at the entrance of the village, he said to the people around him: "I'm here, prepare to get off the car."

As soon as Li Yange wanted to get up, he felt that his legs and feet became weak. If someone on the side hadn't helped him quickly, he would have fallen out of the car.

"Yan Ge, are you okay?" Chen Kaige saw that he walked over with an umbrella.

"No, my legs are a little weak." This is not Li Yange's pretentiousness. Anyone who has been in the car for four or five hours or in this steep and muddy mountain road may have a little weak legs.

"The mountain road is too rugged. When you enter the crew later, you can rest well first, and then talk about what's going on when you wake up."

Chen Kaige is not surprised. When he first came, his legs were too weak.

Upon hearing this, Li Yange nodded, took off his suitcase, took the umbrella from the person next to him, followed Chen Kaige, and walked into the village.

When he walked into the village, he saw that most of the houses around him were made of wood, and the roof was covered with straw to shelter from the wind and rain. It was a typical Yunnan-Guizhou villager's house.

Not long after, Chen Kaige led Li Yange to a wooden house. After opening the door and walking in, he said, "It may rain heavily these two days. The crew also decided not to shoot for the time being. You can stay here first. When the weather clears, you can follow us."

The ground in the wooden house was still muddy. Due to the severe tide reflux, not only was it sticky when walking on it, but there was still a lot of yellow mud on his feet. The gap in the corner of the wall was dripping with water and rain. There was a small wooden barrel below. Then, a wooden bed was placed on the left, with several stacks of worn bedding on it. Li Yange walked over and touched it, and it was a little wet.

Seeing him silently, Chen Kaige thought he was not satisfied with the accommodation environment here. "The environment here is not as good as Beijing. Yange, you will suffer a little, just take a moment."

"What Director Chen said? I am not here to enjoy my happiness. The teacher told me before that the environment here may be a bit bad. I have been mentally prepared and thought about doing a good job of exercise." Li Yange turned around and shook his head.

Although the environment inside the house is simple and leaking, it is already very good to have a place to shelter from the wind and rain, which is much better than he had thought before.

When Chen Kaige heard the poor environment was called exercise, he was very happy. He was really afraid that Li Yange would not adapt to the environment here. After all, the conditions were too simple, and even the director, he was a little uncomfortable, let alone Li Yange, a college student.

Chen Kaige looked at his watch and at 2:10 p.m., "Okay, I won't disturb you to rest. Have dinner at 5 p.m., and I'll ask someone to call you."

"Okay Director Chen."

After Li Yange saw Chen Kaige away, he reexamined the environment inside the house. Apart from a wooden bed, a wooden table and two chairs, it was empty. I think this was also a temporary borrow from the crew from the villagers.

After putting the suitcase on the table, taking out a large water cup from it, and taking out daily necessities such as toothpaste and toothbrushes. Li Yange took off his coat and prepared to lie on the bed and sleep for a while.

The road was bumpy, not only was it physically uncomfortable, but it was also very mentally tired.

"hiss!"

As soon as he got into the bedding, Li Yange took a breath of cold air. The bedding was a little colder!

Fortunately, it is May now, and the climate in the mountains of Yunnan and Guizhou is pretty good. Otherwise, it would have rained so heavily outside, and the bedding is cold and humid, so people must be frozen to death.

After tossing and turning for a while, the feeling of fatigue gradually spread to his heart. Li Yange unknowingly fell asleep in the cold bedding.

Time passed little by little, and the sky outside gradually became darker. The heavy rain continued to fall, and the room became more and more wet. Li Yange sat up from the bed in a sleepy way and looked at the dark room in a little confused manner.

He was awakened by the cold!

"Yan Ge!"

At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open. Chen Kaige stood at the door with an umbrella. Seeing Li Yange sitting up, he smiled and said, "You are just awake. The food is ready and you can start the meal."

"Okay, come right away." Li Yange rubbed his face before getting up and putting on his coat.

A few minutes later.

The two of them held large black umbrellas and walked towards the only school in the village one after another.

"This school was built when educated youth went to the countryside. Later, after returning to the city, there was only one teacher left here."

Listening to Chen Kaige's introduction and comparing it with the pictures in his memory, Li Yange affirmed that this is the school in "King of Children".

As soon as they entered the classroom open on all sides, there were more than a dozen people sitting in a row. When they saw Chen Kaige coming in, they shouted: "Director Chen."

"Come on, I'll introduce it to you."

The faint candle light in the classroom illuminated everyone's faces. Chen Kaige stood aside and said with a smile: "This is the music teacher Li Yange, I invited from Beijing. During the next shooting period, Teacher Li will work with us."

"Hello everyone, I'm glad to work with you."

Seeing the young Teacher Li greeting everyone generously, the starring actors, deputy directors and others in the crew also took the initiative to introduce themselves.

"Hello, Teacher Li, my name is Gu Changwei, who is responsible for the photography of the movie."

Li Yange raised his eyebrows for this dark and familiar old face. It seemed that Photography Gu had a mature look when he was young.
