Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Yellow sand, cactus, Gobi desert road, the road to the sky extending towards the deep night sky

    The night wind is chilly, the cold stars are twinkling, a lone wolf is howling horribly under a bright moon, and a lonely shadow is cast under the bright moon

    ¡°Woo woo woo¡­¡±

    The wind whimpered desolately, and whirlpool-shaped eyes formed one by one, and then swallowed each other to form a more powerful eye, which kicked up dust and sand flying all over the sky, making bursts of sounds like ghosts crying and wolves howling

    Then the small tornado quickly moved and disappeared into the vast night like a ghost along the straight desert road.  Maybe one day this tornado will turn into a huge tornado with amazing power, covering the sky and the sun, bringing up thousands of miles of yellow sand, stirring up the wind and clouds in the sky, thunderstorms, hail, showers They will follow closely like monsters and monsters, stirring up the great millstone of nature.  Wherever it passes, it is devastated and everything in the world is shattered

    But it was too early to tell at this time. As soon as this small tornado with infinite potential was formed, it hit a city wall made of steel and disappeared into the cold night with a whimper in the blink of an eye.

    ¡­¡­

    Dreams are always out of reach, should we give up?

    Flowers are blooming and falling. It¡¯s another season. Spring, where are you?

    Youth is like a flowing river, once it is gone there is no time to say goodbye.

    I am left numb, without the passion I had back then.

    ¡­¡­

    With the wanton singing, the deep nostalgia and sadness are flying, the passing of youth, the trough of life, the numbness of love, the recollection of first love are all vividly expressed in this song "Old Boy" by the Chopstick Brothers.

    This song "Old Boy" was once Wang Ben's favorite song, because it expresses the hearts of countless tragic men

    One of Wang Ben¡¯s favorite things to do is to sing this song when he is happy, sad, hesitant and reminiscingwhen all emotions are fluctuating, and he still sings loudly with tears in his throat without any image.

    The same was true for Wang Ben at this time.  While driving his Ford RV, he sang loudly and unscrupulously.  In this desolate desert, Wang Ben doesn't need to pay attention to his image at all. He just needs to let go, open his arms, and roar at the top of his lungs!  Anyway, no matter what Wang Ben sings.  No one will come to trouble you and accuse you of disturbing the people.

    "Hahaha Oh yeah! It's so exciting! This is the feeling of freedom and boldness, unrestrained and free No wonder so many people like to travel by car!"

    After singing the song "Old Boy", Wang Ben patted the steering wheel, squinted his eyes and sighed happily.

    It has been two days since I moved out of Li Xiaolong¡¯s house.  For the past two days, Wang Ben has been driving this mobile palace alone in the desert around Los Angeles.

    Drive long, enjoy the spectacular desert all the way.  When you are tired, park the RV, eat, rest and sleep, enjoying the convenience brought by the mobile palace.  Then I took the opportunity to look around for places that could be used as attractions outside of "New Dragon Inn".

    In fact, this outdoor scenic spot is very easy to find, as long as there are canyons, deserts, Gobi deserts, streams and rivers in that place.  If only it could be closer to downtown Los Angeles.  Or it would be even better if there is a small town or community nearby.  Because it is convenient for the daily life of the crew, whether it is food, clothing, housing, transportation, or other aspects.

    Wang Ben has found such an outdoor attraction this afternoon, right next to a small town called Crocker in the Mojave Desert northeast of Los Angeles.  That's why Wang Ben drove back to this small town tonight, wanting to make a phone call to explain what he should do next.

    ¡°Tsk~~¡±

    It¡¯s like the sound of a balloon being deflated after being popped.

    The pneumatic door of the Ford RV opened automatically, and then the automatic ramp was lowered silently.  Wang Ben walked out of the car smartly wearing sunglasses, looked at the bar not far away with orange lights, smiled, and said to himself: I saw this western cowboy era style bar in the afternoon.  But there was no time to go in and see what was going on.  I have been fascinated by the bars in American western movies for a long time, and now I finally have the opportunity to go in and take a look

    The waist-high louvered two-way wooden door was pushed open by Wang Ben. The copper bell connected to the door rang crisply. Suddenly, the noisy human voice mixed with the melodious and melodious country music poured into Wang Ben's ears

    A simple and rough bar with wooden tables and chairs exuding a natural atmosphere.  Oak barrels exuding the aroma of beer, a bearded man wearing a cowboy hat, a skull with horns hanging on the wooden wall, a pitted and rusty shield and dagger

    Almost instantly.  Wang Ben was attracted by the wanton, rough and bold western style.

    Wang Ben murmured to himself: "By the way, that's right"What a feeling!  But there seems to be something missing"

    What exactly is it?

    Wang Ben couldn¡¯t tell.  It just feels a little different from the bar in my impression, and the most important thing is missing.

    Just when Wang Ben stepped into this bar.  The bartenders and guests in the bar paused for a moment, looking at Wang Ben in silence, and then resumed their bustle after a second or two.

    The bartender had a Marlboro cigarette in his mouth and a rag in his hand. He glanced sideways at Wang Ben and shouted casually: "Hi, Boy. Do you want a beer?".

    Several cowboys playing cards around looked at Wang Ben and said with a smile: "Hey! Brother, look at you, you must be from out of town!"

    Looking at the marks on their faces destroyed by the wind and frost swords, and looking at the simple and resolute temperament exuding from their bodies, Wang Ben instantly knew what was missing in this bar.  No, there must be someone missing.

    This bar is missing a cowboy, a cowboy like the protagonist in a western movie.

    There should be a cowboy like this sitting in this bar, middle-aged, lonely, with a full beard, exuding the smell of loneliness and vicissitudes of life, like a lone wolf walking alone in the vast desert

    But there are none here, there are just a bunch of cowboys from a nearby farm, ordinary farm cowboys.

    Wang Ben shook his head in disappointment and said to himself: I am still a little too naive After all, a movie is a movie and cannot be copied from reality.  Hehehehe But isn't the "New Dragon Inn" I'm going to shoot a Chinese version of a western?

    Wang Ben looked at the people in the bar staring at him. He couldn't help but snap his fingers loudly and shouted coolly: "One glass of beer! Also, I'm treating you tonight, and all the drinks will be on me"

    "Oh oh oh¡­¡­"

    When I heard that someone was treating me and I could drink for free, the guests in the bar clapped and cheered.

    "Hi, brother. You are so generous!"

    "Not bad, not bad! Very much like our western men!"

    "Hey! Old Barry. Get out your vodka quickly. I'm going to get drunk tonight."

    ""

    ¡°Bang bang bang¡­¡±

    The cowboys in the bar kept clinking heavy beer glasses on the wooden table, cheering in unison: "Serve the wine! Serve the wine! Serve the wine"

    Although old Barry was shaking his head helplessly, he couldn't hide the smile on his face.  Looking at the passionate cowboys and these rugged Western men, Old Barry knew that the drinks tonight would be a hit.

    Old Barry waved his hand to the waiter standing aside, "Harry, what are you looking at? Why don't you quickly pour a drink for this generous gentleman!"

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????? out of the beer cup with fine foam, Wang Ben drank it in a hearty gulp, burped comfortably, gave a thumbs up and praised: "Oh yeah! It's really top-notch beer! Give me another glass!"

    Old Barry was very happy to hear Wang Ben's praise of his beer.  He personally took Wang Ben's wine glass and filled him up with a glass of beer. Then he laughed loudly and said to Wang Ben: "Boy, you have such good taste! The beer in our Grofe Bar is really the best in California! Oh!  , by the way. You haven¡¯t introduced your name to us yet?¡±

    ¡°Bang bang bang¡­¡±

    Wang Ben picked up the beer with one hand and slapped it vigorously on the bar counter with the other.

    Everyone in the bar looked at Wang Ben, wanting to hear what this generous and generous guest had to say.

    Looking at these curious eyes, Wang Ben shouted loudly: "Hi! I am Vincent from China. I will shoot a movie near the town in the future. I hope everyone will take care of me! Come! I'll do it first as a courtesy!"

    As he said that, he raised his head and drank all the beer in the cup. Then he turned the mouth of the beer cup down and explained in the Chinese way what it means to not leave any wine behind.  really.  Wang Ben's heroic Chinese style immediately won applause from these bold western men.

    And when these Americans heard that they were going to make a movie, they immediately asked excitedly: "Vincent, are you the director? Are you going to make a western movie? A western movie like "Red Dead Redemption"  ¡­¡±

    "When "Red Dead Redemption" came out, it immediately ignited the passion of these western cowboys in the bar, and there was a lot of discussion for a while.  They are all criticizing this movie.

    "Fuck! Bullshit! But this movie "Red Dead" was not filmed in California. This movie about cowboys was not filmed in California, but in shitty Spain! How ridiculous!"

    ¡°Is there anything more outrageous than this?!¡±

    "Yes! That is, since "Red Dead Redemption", almost all western films have used Italian actors. Choose Spanish locations"?¡±

    ""

    Speaking of the irritation, the whole bar was filled with the sound of things being thrown.

    This made Wang Ben a little stunned and confused.  My heart said: What the hell is this?  !  Why did the trouble start while you were still talking?  Is this what these Western men are like?  Or is this "Red Dead" really

    Before Wang Ben's random thoughts could extend, Old Barry said calmly: "Hey, Vincent, don't worry. The cups in our Grofe Bar have already withstood their test, and they won't be broken down so easily.  Broken by these drunkards."

    "oh?"

    Wang Ben took a closer look and found that it was indeed the case.

    Although the beer glasses crackled in the hands of these rude western cowboys, they were not broken.  Wang Ben picked up the beer glass in his hand and looked at it, and couldn't help laughing.  It turns out that this beer glass is not an ordinary glass wine glass, but is shaped like a small oak barrel wine glass. It is made of wood and has brass stirrups. It can certainly withstand the beatings of these rough guys.

    Old Barry was lying on the bar watching the messy quarrels of these cowboys, and asked casually: "Vincent, you're not really here to shoot a western, are you?"

    Wang Ben spread his hands and curled his lips and said: "Well, how should I put it? We are shooting a Chinese-language movie and this movie tells a story that takes place in an inn in the desert. It can be regarded as a Chinese-language western movie!"

    "Chinese-language movie? Western movie? I have never seen a Chinese-language movie, let alone a Chinese-language western movie"

    Once Barry Sr. heard that it was a talking movie, he had no interest in it.  He looked at Wang Benxin and said: What kind of movies can the Chinese make?  Not to mention it¡¯s a Chinese version of a western!

    Old Barry opened his mouth and finally managed to say, "Okay then! I wish you a smooth shooting! If you need any help, just come to me at the bar My old Barry is always willing to help others!"

    Wang Ben thought for a while and thought that there was really something he needed help from this old Barry.

    "Thank you, old Barry. Well, there are a lot of circus scenes in this movie. Do you know where I can rent docile horses? I need to rent dozens of horses."

    Yes, there are a lot of circuses in "New Dragon Inn", and the crew needs a lot of horses.  It was impossible for Wang Ben to transport these horses from Xiangjiang to Los Angeles.  If this is the case, then the transportation costs alone are a considerable amount.  Moreover, these horses are still living animals. Who knows whether they will adapt to the climate of Los Angeles after floating over the sea.  Besides, even if it could be shipped, the flight from Xiangjiang to Los Angeles would take at least a month.  Perhaps by the time the horses are transported from Hong Kong to Los Angeles, "New Dragon Gate Inn" will have been completed.

    After hearing Wang Ben's request, Old Barry pointed at a drunk man and said: "Vincent, if you want to rent a horse, then you go to him: Joey. Joey is the best rider here.  He is also the best horse trainer here. The horses in his ranch are also the best horses here. You are right to find him!¡±

    "Joy?"

    Following Old Barry¡¯s guidance, Wang Ben recognized this unique Joey at a glance.

    Joey is really conspicuous among these western cowboys. It¡¯s not that Joey¡¯s appearance is conspicuous, but his figure.  Under Wang Ben's visual inspection, Joey was only about 1.65 meters tall, and he was very thin, even thinner than the average American girl.

    He really doesn¡¯t look like a good equestrian.

    However, Wang Ben was relieved when he thought about the riding competitions he saw on TV and the Internet in his previous life. It seemed that all the riders were of this shape.  After all, the lighter weight of the rider puts less burden on the horse, so the horse can run faster and for longer while consuming less energy.

    "Okay! Old Barry, thank you! But looking at Joey's drunk appearance, it seems that tonight is not the right time to discuss business with him. Can you tell me the address of Joey's ranch? I want to wait until he sobers up tomorrow.  Talking to him"

    Old Barry couldn¡¯t help laughing when he saw Joey curled up in a drunken ball under the table, "Vincent, come find me here tomorrow morning, and I will personally take you to Joey's ranch."

    Wang Ben picked up the beer and thanked him: "Sorry to trouble you, old Barry. By the way, do you have a phone here? I want to make a call. Also, can I make international long distance calls?"  (To be continued)

    ps: Thank you Xiaoguan e for your monthly ticket support.  The break has become more serious recently, partly because there are so many things to do during the New Year, and partly because my brother, I am in love and am chasing after beautiful women. I just got on second base today.  Hahaha¡­¡­
