    He pointed to a broken section of earthen city wall outside the car window, "This kind of castle, commonly known as 'Tuwei' in the local area, is a unique 'earth-covered building' in the northwest region of XJ. The ancients also paid attention to adapting to local conditions and using local materials to build the castle walls.  There is not a single brick or stone, and it is entirely made of rammed loess. Because of the weathering here, after hundreds of years of rain, snow, wind, frost and man-made destruction, by the 1950s and 1960s, the greatness of the border fortress had disappeared.  .¡±

    Since he was here for a trip, after getting off the bus at Zhenbeibao Western Film and Television City, Chen Feng was not in a hurry to go to the location of the movie "The Mummy 3: Phantom of the Ancient City" to inspect the progress of the project. Instead, he took Ye Rong around to visit.

    The establishment of the Western Film and Television City has brought new vitality to the decaying castle in the past.  Ordinary people may feel as if they have entered a dreamlike movie world while strolling through these familiar film and television scenes and lingering among props that are hard to distinguish between real and fake.  Because Chen Feng is a movie maker himself, he is not very interested in these props and built scenes.  When he walked among them, he felt mostly emotional and nostalgic.

    But Ye Rong was different. Because of the cultural differences, she was full of curiosity about everything here. Everywhere she went, she asked Chen Feng to take pictures for her. In the end, Chen Feng basically became her full-time photographer.

    The most interesting thing is that wherever Chen Feng and Ye Rong go, vendors will flock to sell them souvenirs.  In this kind of tourist attraction, the best thing to make is money from outsiders, because they never bargain, and if they meet someone they like, they will give them as much as they want.

    Because of the dialect barrier, when introducing the price.  They all compare a number.  Generally speaking, Chen Feng would not stop the price if it was not particularly excessive.  These small vendors also come out to make a living, which is not easy for everyone.  But when encountering such outrageous prices, Chen Feng would pull Ye Rong and leave directly. If that didn't work, he would utter one or two fluent local dialects, and then walk away in the eyes of the hawker, who was stunned for a while.

    "The Mummy 3: Phantom of the Ancient City" is basically a replica of the ruins of the ancient Loulan Kingdom in the desert.  This incident did not attract more media attention in Hangzhou and Hong Kong, but it caused quite a stir in XJ.  This should be the second time that a Hangzhou-Hong Kong commercial blockbuster has focused its lens on XJ. For XJ fans and filmmakers.  This news is both exciting and worrying.

    People are happy that the rise of xj¡¯s local economic status has brought about an improvement in cultural status, which is the self-proclaimed Dream Factory.  I also started to favor oriental culture, so I came back from time to time to enjoy some scenery.  While pride was being satisfied, knowledgeable people also raised their concerns.

    Nearly half of the total annual box office in the Chinese film market is taken away by DreamWorks' commercial blockbusters. Now DreamWorks is "intensifying its efforts" and preparing to use commercial films packaged in Chinese culture to make money from Chinese people. This makes  Many people are heartbroken.  At the same time, some people are worried that DreamWorks only has a superficial understanding of Chinese culture. If they produce something that is completely different according to their ideas, it will not only fail to expand the influence of Chinese culture internationally, but will mislead people in other countries.

    Supporters and opponents started a melee of "verbal and written attacks" in the media.  Whether good or bad, these discussions have attracted people's attention to Zhenbeibao Film and Television City.  As media attention continues to increase, the phone of Western China Film and Television City Co., Ltd. begins to ring non-stop with reporters who want to make appointments for interviews.

    After sending away a group of reporters, Zhang Xianliang dragged his tired body back to his office.  while sitting down.  Only then did he feel weak and exhausted. His upper eyelids kept fighting with his lower eyelids, and he didn't want to stand up from the chair.  Although when I thought about the fact that reporters would come to interview me later, I finally couldn't resist the excessive fatigue, just like the foam in the sea.  As soon as it rose, it disappeared again.

    While taking a nap, Zhang Xianliang dreamed of some past events from a long, long time ago.  In 1961, Zhang Xianliang, who was working at the nearby Nanliang Farm, discovered that it had a decaying but unbeatable majesty and a tenacious vitality that originated from the depths of the loess soil.  For the first time, Zhenbei Fort was written into his novel "Green Tree", and he called it "Zhennan Fort" in the book. He also introduced it to the film and television industry, and film crews came to shoot here one after another.

    The movies "The Wrangler", "Sorghum", and "The Ballad of the Yellow River" were shot during this period and won international awards. The ruined Zhenbei Fort began to attract attention, but wind erosion and damage were becoming increasingly serious. In 1993, Zhenbei Fort was destroyed  After the Western Cinema was established, the dilapidated buildings were repaired "as they were before".

    Entering the new century, Chinese films have entered the commercial era, and Zhenbeibao Western Cinema has also become busy.  This ancient castle, which combines the cultural landscape of historical relics with modern film and television art, has become a well-known home and abroad as the best location filming base for movies and TV shows with themes of western China and ancient times. Zhang Xianliang's company has also gradually realized the transformation from "selling out" to  The development leaps from "desolation" to "selling culture and history".

      The scale of the film and television city has expanded, and the company's overall strength has also reached a higher level. Zhang Xianliang naturally sees further than others. He has set his sights on the international film market, but has yet to find a breakthrough.  .

    But just as "you can't find anything even if you break through iron shoes, it takes no effort to get it." Just when Zhang Xianliang was at a loss for this matter, an opportunity came to his door. Hangzhou and Hong Kong film giant Long's Company was preparing to shoot a movie.  For an adventure movie with a desert theme, they took the initiative to contact Zhenbeibao Western Cinema and wanted to build a nearby location similar to the ruins of the ancient Loulan Kingdom.

    Zhang Xianliang, who was overjoyed, knew that this was a rare opportunity and agreed without hesitation. The two parties quickly signed a cooperation agreement.  The construction of the exterior scenery attracted the attention of all parties, and the name of Zhenbeibao Western Cinema began to appear frequently in newspapers and on the Internet.  It is conceivable that if that film is successful, more crews will come here to see it, and Zhang Xianliang's dream of building an international film and television city seems to be about to come true.

    The "bang bang" knock on the door woke Zhang Xianliang from his sweet dream. He shook his head violently, and when he regained consciousness, he shouted: "Come in."

    Assistant Xiao Wang pushed open the door and walked in. As soon as he saw Zhang Xianliang, he couldn't wait to shout: "Mr. Zhang, good news."

    "What's the good news?" Seeing Xiao Wang's excited look, Zhang Xianliang also started to look forward to it.

    "Chen Feng is coming to xj." After Xiao Wang confirmed the news, he immediately rushed back to the company headquarters. Before he could even take a sip of water, he hurried over to report to Zhang Xianliang. At this time, his face was red with excitement and he was panting.  However, he came here and said, "He is right in the film and television city."

    "What did you say?" Zhang Xianliang stood up suddenly. He suppressed the excitement in his heart and poured a glass of water for Xiao Wang himself. He said kindly: "Take a breath first and tell me slowly what is going on."

    After taking a sip of water and quickly sorting out his thoughts, Xiao Wang began to tell Zhang Xianliang the whole story.  This morning he went to learn about the construction progress of the location of "The Mummy 3: Phantom of the Ancients" and met two outsiders, a man and a woman, wearing sunglasses at the gate of the construction site.  At first, Xiao Wang was surprised that two out-of-town tourists had gone to the wrong place, but the young out-of-town man among them started chatting with the guard at the construction site in Uyghur.

    Wang was curious and overheard a few words. The outsider wanted to go inside because the company had regulations that prohibited outsiders from entering. The two outsiders' requests made the doorman very embarrassed.  After several attempts were rejected, the young man from out of town began to inquire about the progress of the project in a roundabout way, which aroused Xiao Wang's vigilance.

    "I stepped forward to question the suspicious guy, but he took off his sunglasses." Xiao Wang paused, "Who did I meet?"

    "Chen Feng?" The answer was obvious, and Zhang Xianliang got it right.

    "That's him" Xiao Wang excitedly slapped his thigh, "This is the first time I saw him in person outside of a movie, and I was stunned at the time."

    Zhang Xianliang began to urge Xiao Wang impatiently, "What happened next?"

    "Then I did something very inappropriate" Xiao Wang held the paper cup in both hands, looking like he was hesitant to speak.

    Zhang Xianliang became anxious upon hearing this, "Did you have a conflict with him?"

    "That's not true." Xiao Wang shook his head, "I took Chen Feng to visit the film location without your consent."

    Zhang Xianliang's heart suddenly fell to the ground. He laughed, and then patted Xiao Wang on the shoulder, "You did it right. Chen Feng is the screenwriter and producer of the film. If he wants to visit, I will do it."  You can't stop him. It's just that you were a little careless at the time. You should have informed me as soon as you met him."

    Xiao Wang scratched his head, "I was so excited at the time that I forgot about it."

    Zhang Xianliang did not blame him, "Then you sent him back to the hotel later?"

    Xiao Wang took out the address of the hotel where Chen Feng was staying, and Zhang Xianliang nodded with satisfaction. He was not in a hurry to see Chen Feng, but paced back and forth in his office, "Have you ever heard that he is still there?"  How long are you going to stay here?"

    "About a day or two."

    "If he wants to visit the construction of the location, he should contact us through official channels. Based on your observations, do you think he went there today by chance or on purpose?"

    "I think he just came to visit and take a look."

    Zhang Xianliang stopped and looked at Xiao Wang, "What's the reason?"

    Xiao Wang reminded: "You have forgotten that when I met Chen Feng, there was another person with him."

    If Zhang Xianliang realized something, "The foreigner you mentionedPeople?  "

    "You also know this woman. Shen Hai's big star, Ye Rong, has acted in many movies with Chen Feng. I heard that the relationship between the two is a bit" Xiao Wang thought about the wording and finally used "ambiguous"  this adjective.  (To be continued)
