Chen Feng shook his head, "On the issue of desertification, they are very objective. This problem is indeed serious in northwest China."
"Then why did you have that expression just now?"
Chen Feng curled his lips: "Because they will only tell you how serious the desertification is there, but they will never tell its audience that Chinese movies went to the world from that place and were slowly recognized and accepted by people."
"But that's a broadcast from the Geographic Channel," Ye Rong explained helplessly.
"Okay, let's put this topic aside for now." Chen Feng made a pause gesture, "Will you go with me?"
Ye Rong asked puzzledly: "But you haven't answered my question yet, why did you go there to investigate? You are just the screenwriter of the sequel to "The Mummy". It should be the director's job to inspect the filming locations."
"Well, in addition to the screenwriter, I am also the producer of this film." Chen Feng said, "Beautiful Miss Ye Rong, do you have any other questions?"
Such kind of flattering words came out of Chen Feng's mouth, even if it was in a joking tone, it still made Ye Rong's cheeks feel slightly hot.
"Can't you be more serious?" She glared at Chen Feng with some embarrassment. She pretended to be angry, but her sweet and joyful eyes betrayed her.
"Okay then." Chen Feng sat up straight, straightened his clothes, and with a serious expression on his face, he formally invited Ye Rong: "Let's go to China together."
"But you are going to work, is it okay to take me with you?" In order to show her reserve, Ye Rong did not agree directly.
"This trip to Japan is just a stop by for inspection. Traveling is my main purpose." Chen Feng once again emphasized the purpose of his trip to Japan.
Ye Rong bit her lip lightly, still thinking about it. Seeing that the fire was almost done, Chen Feng placed his hand on Zang and magically conjured up a letter of intent, placed it on the table, and then gently pushed it to Ye Rong. before.
"What's this?"
"Do you still remember the story I just told you?" Chen Feng put his elbow on the dining table. He clasped his fingers on his chin, "I have always stubbornly believed that you are the best actor to play Susan in the story. When I agreed to be the producer of this film, I also recommended you to the Long Company Of course this It's not a forced condition, even if you don't want to play this role. I still hope you can go to xj with me."

The distant mountains are actually a large, undulating desert higher than the riverside. The fine sand raised by the breeze is like morning mist rising on the golden waves of the desert, slowly drifting towards the road at the foot of the mountain. An off-road vehicle was driving quickly on this desert. The people in the vehicle were Chen Feng and Ye Rong who came together. There were four people in the vehicle. Next to the driver sat the tour guide of their XJ Loulan trip.
Nearly a month and a half has passed since the last candlelight dinner between Chen Feng and Ye Rong. It is now the early spring of 2017. At this time, although Long's Pictures has not officially announced to the media the filming of "The Mummy 3: Phantom of the Ancient City" plan, but preparations have already begun. The film is confirmed to be directed by Stephen Sommers. The male and female protagonists of the film are still Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz. At Chen Feng's strong request, the filming location for the film was chosen at the Beipu Western Film and Television City in XJ Town.
??The vast Gobi Desert outside the car window is filled with endless sand and rocks as far as the eye can see. There is no human habitation at all, and not even a tree can be seen. There are only clumps of withered camel grass and splendens all over the place. The car was speeding by, and the gusts of wind were blowing the yellow sand into the air, like fire smoke rising from the ground, swirling and flying across the desert.
Many desolate castles appeared in the career, and a desolate and simple charm came to mind. Who would have thought that an ancient Ming Dynasty castle abandoned in the western desert would not be as spectacular a ruin as the Tang Palace in the capital of Qin. But it will shine with such dazzling sparks hundreds of years later.
The old castle adjacent to the east side of the mountain road has been completely eroded by wind, and only the remaining walls and ruins remain. Going north through the loess road in the city is the ruins of the Old Castle Wengcheng, and walking 200 meters further north is the New Castle. Xinbao City is relatively complete. The walls are made of rammed loess. There is a semicircular urn on the east side. There is a slope on the south side of the city gate to climb the city wall. There were original turrets on the four corners above, and the foundation is still vaguely visible.
"The ancient castle along the road now is commonly known as the 'Old Castle'. It was built during the Hongzhi period of the Ming Dynasty. It was a barracks for an ancient military fortress. It was destroyed by an earthquake in the third year of Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty. It has a history of 500 years ago. According to legend, that year When General Han Yu, the general of the Ming Dynasty, was preparing to build a castle in the Helan Mountain area, he asked the so-called "Feng Shui Master" to see the "Feng Shui" here. The gentleman walked around and said that this place is in the middle of the Helan Mountain Mountains, with the "Wolong Huai" "The potential of the pearl", and a "dragon vein" extends down, predicting this"Emperors and generals will definitely appear in the future," so Han Yucai decided to build the castle here, and it became the current Zhenbei Fort. "In the car, the tour guide introduced the history of Zhenbeibao to the two guests who came from afar in fluent Mandarin.
"Did that prophecy come true later?" Ye Rong asked curiously.
"There have never been emperors or generals here in the past, but there have been quite a few sensational film and television works, stars, and famous directors in the world of cinema." The tour guide was not very old. He had thick eyebrows, big eyes, and thick lips. It looks like it was carved out of stone, but its eloquence is outstanding.
According to his introduction, the films shot here have won many international awards, but Ye Rong herself had never heard of it. She looked at Chen Feng beside her with a questioning look.
Most of the award-winning movies shot in Zhenbeibao Western Film and Television City were shot in the 1970s and 1980s. Because the time passed was so long, Chen Feng could no longer remember them clearly. What made him somewhat impressed was Zhang Yimou's "Sorghum". What really made him remember this place was the classic "Journey to the West" starring Zhou Xingxing.
Faced with Ye Rong¡¯s doubts, he had to make up a barely plausible reason. "The films shot here were all art-themed films, and at that time, commercial films in the real sense had not yet appeared in China. They all won awards at some film festivals in the European Union. These were all made 20 years ago. Of course you don¡¯t know much about it.¡±
Ye Rong nodded in relief, and then she changed the topic: "You said there are two castles here, but why didn't I see it?"
Chen Feng couldn¡¯t explain this. He could only use his eyes to ask for help from the tour guide sitting in the front row. The young man nodded knowingly and explained on behalf of Chen Feng: "Because in the Qing Dynasty, the army guarding this place was less than 200 meters away from the destroyed 'Old Fort' in order to prevent foreigners from taking advantage of the opportunity. Another earthen castle slightly larger than the 'Old Castle' was built, which is called the 'New Castle'. It was completed about two years after the old castle was destroyed by the earthquake, that is, in 1740, 260 years ago. Years of history." (To be continued)
