Chapter 419: How to act this lustful person?
In the summer, I lived and ate in the “Three Kingdoms Generals Special Training Camp” for half a month, communicating, training and learning with these actors.

By the way, you can teach them how to ride horses and have a “competition” with them!
June 6th came in a blink of an eye. Xia woke up early and read in the newspaper: With approval from the higher authorities, the standard of remuneration for articles has been adjusted again to adapt to new situations such as rising prices.

The new “Interim Provisions on Book Remuneration” will be implemented from July 7 this year.

The print run remuneration has been increased from 1% of the basic remuneration for every 2 copies of 5 to 8 copies to % of the basic remuneration for every copies.

对确有重要学术理论研究价值而印数较少的专著，印1万册以内，由原来的按基本稿酬的20%提高到30％付酬。基本稿酬计算标准为著作稿每千字10元～40元，翻译稿每千字8元～35元。

As the saying goes, seeing the big picture from the small details… Let me put it this way, if the royalties have increased, then everything must have increased.

As mentioned before, there are times when prices go through the roof.

I tried it once before, but failed. Dachun bought half a car of toilet paper, which was a big help to my friends.
Later I had to continue, and finally it was over.

But once it’s over, the situation will be different.

——Since the late 80s, prices have begun to rise.

If we say that in 84, students only needed about 40 yuan a month to eat in the cafeteria, by 89 it had risen to 80 yuan.

The price of pork increased from an average of 1.47 yuan per kilogram to 2.14 yuan.

And now in the early 90s, it continues to rise…

So, even though the basic remuneration has increased this time compared to before, the remuneration for articles with the same number of words can buy less and less things.

This is also the reason why the Three Kingdoms crew was so stingy with supplies – if you want to make the best use of the steel, don’t you have to spend money where your mouth is?
What kind of meals do the actors who didn’t come to the special training camp have in a day?
I haven’t seen any meat for three days, and my mouth is dry from all the food I eat from the big pot.

What kind of treatment do we have here? Not only are there chickens, ducks, fish and meat, but we also get a lot of fruits in the summer.

Even if it is a bit hard, everyone is dedicated to their work now. If you want to play a military general, you have to practice. Otherwise, others will be majestic and you will be like a clothes rack. How embarrassing that is!
What’s more, there is food and drink!
Besides, exercise is really addictive when you get on the right track! If you don’t exercise… you will feel uncomfortable~
Moreover, everyone has discovered during this period that the food on the generals’ side is better.

Don’t worry about what kind of civil official I am, or what kind of Zhou Yu or Yuan Shao I am. Can’t I just practice along with them?
Everyone comes here to practice and eat.

……

When Director Wang and his colleagues came to inspect the special training camp, they saw a scene of bustling activity.

A group of burly men wearing small vests and big shorts, holding dumbbells, barbells, stone locks and elastic bands in their hands, were exercising noisily.

On the other side, they took up the weapons customized by the crew and practiced martial arts moves and routines.

The directors all come from an artistic background, how could they have seen this before? They were all stunned!

Especially the female director Cai Xiaoqing, her face was slightly red~
Director Wang was about to go up to say hello when he heard the sound of hurried horse hooves.

Turning around, I saw Xia Tian riding a little white dragon, wearing a light outfit, a Han crown on his head, holding a spear, and galloping around the field!
Then several men on horseback came out, some holding Zhangba Snake Spears, some holding Green Dragon Crescent Blades, some holding Horse Lances…

Xia Tian pointed his spear and shouted at Li Jingfei: “Hey~ I am Sun Bofu from Jiangdong, you round-eyed thief! Do you dare to fight me?”

Li Jingfei’s eyes widened when he heard this, “Ah my, ah my, ah ~ Jiangdong boy, how dare you say such arrogant words, watch out for your Grandpa Zhang’s snake spear!”

He held the reins in one hand and spurred his horse towards Xia Tian. The two men and their horses crossed each other and there was a clanging sound of weapons.

Then they turned around and charged again, the two horses surrounded each other, and the two men fought with weapons in their hands, clanking!
Xia Tian had a smile on his face and laughed as he beat him. Li Jingfei’s eyes were as big as light bulbs and he shouted as he beat him.

After three minutes of fighting, Li Jingfei was exhausted. Fighting on horseback, controlling the horse with his legs while waving his hands, consumed a lot of physical energy!
Seeing that he was no match for him, Lu Shuming shouted in a deep voice: “Don’t panic, third brother. I’m here to help you~” He spurred his horse and rushed forward, and then the three of them started a fierce battle!
Director Wang and his companions stood there in shock, watching for seven or eight minutes under the sun, and only reacted after the three of them finished fighting.

What kind of scene is this?

Is this training effective?
In fact, among these people, Li Jingfei and Lu Shuming are the best, whether it is riding a horse or sparring on horseback~
That’s right, just gesture.

Xia Tian served as their sparring partner, but even after just seven or eight minutes of sparring, the Zhang and Lu brothers were already sweating profusely, with sweat dripping down their chins.

Look at Xia Tian again, his face is not red and he is not out of breath, he is really the little overlord of Jiangdong!
He would practice with weapons weighing dozens of kilograms for half an hour every morning, and his terrifying performance when lifting weights made others admire him in their hearts even if they didn’t say anything.

Besides, what kind of influence does Xia Tian have now? What is his status in the crew?

There is also a supply of delicious food and drinks. It is really like meeting someone in spring breeze, exercising with someone like a god, being a superior at work and a confidant in life.

After half a month, no matter old or young, everyone treated me differently.

Even the actresses would come over to take a peek whenever they wanted.

Then Chen Hong has an idea – beauties have always been paired with heroes!

Isn’t this a hero right before our eyes! He’s handsome, rich, famous, and talented! …

Director Wang and his team came this time to see how effective the special training camp held in the summer was and whether the actors had any progress in horse riding and martial arts instruction.

Next, I would like to tell you about the preparation status. The official start of filming should be after the Asian Games.

Let everyone focus on preparation, memorize lines, understand the characters, and hone their acting skills.

For example, Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others have a lot of long lines in the drama, and now you have to memorize them!
For example, Li Jingfei practiced staring, and Lu Shuming practiced squinting and stroking his beard…

When I watched the old Three Kingdoms characters on TV, it seemed like they were not acting, they should be like this, they were the result of countless sweat.

Director Wang and his companions also took the opportunity to have a dinner in Xia Tian’s place – it was really sumptuous!
There is even roast chicken!

There were even some cooked green corns – I guess only the ones planted early can be eaten now. I bought this from fellow villagers in a nearby village in the summer.

I buy several bags of shredded vegetables at a time, load them in the trunk of a jeep and bring them back for everyone to enjoy.

After dinner, it’s time to get off work. Some people do their own things, some call home, and some read books or watch TV.

However, most people who had nothing to do ran to the big tree outside the training camp to listen to Xia Tian’s chat.

At the beginning, young actors like Li Jingfei consulted assistant director Xia Tian about some things, such as the performance of the characters they played in historical records.

I have nothing to do in the summer, so I just start chatting.

There’s more talk and more people come, so why not just set up a small table and start talking!
Xia Tian: “Where did we talk about yesterday?”

Someone shouted from below: “Speaking of Cao Wei, Cao Wei Xiahou Dun!”

Xia Tian nodded, Ku Cha~ threw away his folding fan, “Now let’s talk about Cao Cao’s general Xiahou Dun!”

“He is a relative of Cao Cao and the first general to follow Cao Cao. He is loyal and devoted. He is said to have won every battle but was promoted all the time…”

……

During this period, Xia Tian got along very well with the actors and crew members.

After all, Xia Tian has no conflict of interest with anyone. Instead, he can bring benefits to them. Coupled with his free personality charm, the relationship is quite harmonious.

In fact, even if there is real discord, no one dares to mess with him.

Because of this period of time together, we have become friends from colleagues.

Sometimes we joke with each other.

For example, some magazines I brought back from Hong Kong in the summer…

Li Jingfei took a quick look and his eyes widened, and Lu Shuming: I read the Spring and Autumn Annals!

Zhang Guangbei, an old classmate, even joked that he wanted to ask Xia Tian for advice: “How should I act like a lecher? Xia Tian, ​​please teach me.”

Xia Tian looked him up and down: “You don’t have to act, just be more restrained~”

It made everyone laugh so hard that many years later when this was mentioned, everyone laughed so hard that they fell over.

In fact, while Director Wang and other directors and actors were preparing, CCTV also did other things, such as building film and television cities and film and television bases!
And one repair means two!
There is a Three Kingdoms Film and Television City in Wuxi, and there is another one in Zhuozhou Wharf Town, Baoding, Hebei Province.

Both of these places are funded by local governments and CCTV, and the investment is huge!

Of course it is not a one-time thing, it can be repaired in phases one and two.

Construction will start now, and wait until the filming of “Three Kingdoms” is completed. It will be the time when domestic costume dramas are just emerging. Zhuozhou Film and Television City is close to Yanjing, which will make it more convenient for the crew to travel back and forth.

Later popular costume TV dramas such as “Tang Minghuang”, “Empress Wu Zetian” and “Romance of the Three Kingdoms” were all filmed here.

Wuxi Film and Television City is the earliest large-scale film and television base in the country. It was built in 87 because of the film “Journey to the West”.

After that, every major move it makes is related to the location selection of CCTV dramas.

The Three Kingdoms City was built because of “Romance of the Three Kingdoms”, the Tang City was built because of “Emperor Minghuang of Tang”, and the Water Margin City was built because of “Water Margin”.

For many industries, only a small part can be seen on the surface. In invisible places, there is a huge economic pull.
