Note that this book is a slow-burn novel, and it will become increasingly exciting as the story progresses.
It starts from 2002, beginning at the Beijing Film Academy, and starting with the H...
As for Zeng Li and Andy Lau's performance today, they were very compatible. To be honest, he didn't know Zeng Li before, but Shen Fang arranged for him to come in, and the sugar daddy required it, so he couldn't refuse. He had also heard of her reputation; she was a graduate of the Central Academy of Drama and a classmate of Zhang Ziyi.
After filming these two scenes, he felt that this girl's acting was really good. She might not be as good as Zhang Ziyi, but she was still far superior to most people.
Feng Kuzi was very satisfied with the footage they had just shot, and Shen Fang followed behind, diligently learning from him. It must be said that Feng Kuzi was quite capable; judging from the composition and on-site coordination, his background in Beijing and Taiwan had paid off. He was truly skilled.
Today marks the first filming of our trip to Gansu after so many days, and we've had a great start, so naturally we should celebrate. Of course, this is also thanks to Boss Shen being there.
Cooking beef and slaughtering lamb is a joyful activity, so we had an open-air BBQ.
Shen Fang then approached Zeng Li, who had already removed her makeup.
"Was my acting alright?" Zeng Li looked at Shen Fang expectantly.
Shen Fang gave a thumbs up: "Great, absolutely great, but I'm a little jealous."
Zeng Li rolled her eyes at Chen Fang: "It's all a mismatch. I'm embarrassed. A good actor has to be real in everything. I was acting with Andy Lau, you know. I don't know what Brother Andy thinks of me."
Shen Fang smiled and looked around to make sure no one was paying attention to the two of them. He said in a low voice, "Don't worry, I've already spoken to Brother Hua. He knows about our relationship, and he's not the only one who knows."
Zeng Li's face flushed instantly: "Who else would know? Oh, stay away from me, I..."
Zeng Lizhen was worried about what others would think of her. She already felt somewhat illegitimate, and she was eager to prove herself.
Shen Fang smiled and said, "Li Lianhua, she guessed it, but the others don't. I'll come to see you tonight."
Zeng Li glanced at the crowd around her and rolled her eyes at Chen Fang: "Be careful when you come, don't let anyone see you."
Shen Fang chuckled and said, "I thought you were going to refuse and not let me go."
Zeng Li stopped talking. She was just waiting for Shen Fang to come to her. She couldn't sleep without her lover holding her in the long night. What a great opportunity! She had only spent a few months together. This was a once-in-a-lifetime chance.
At this moment, Huang Bo and Shen Kun rushed over.
"Fang'er, let's go ride horses." He had only finished filming one scene today, and he saw Shen Kun, Zhang Hanyu, and Lin Jiadong somehow get a few horses and have just taken a ride, which was quite enjoyable.
In this godforsaken place, with its lone plume of smoke rising straight from the desert, the setting sun casting a round glow over the long river, ancient roads, west wind, and lean horses, it truly evokes the spirit of chivalrous heroes of the martial world.
Just then, the sun was setting, and the yellow sand under the setting sun made this land look like a painting. Riding a horse, drunk and singing, was incredibly enjoyable.
Shen Fang looked at Zeng Li: "Sister Li, would you like one?"
Zeng Li looked at Chen Fang with some expectation: "Is it okay? I can't ride."
Shen Fang smiled and said, "I'll take you with me."
The three arrived at a nearby spot, where Shen Kun and his companions were galloping on horseback, leaving behind a trail of yellow sand.
"Whoa..." Shen Kun tightened the reins and stopped in front of Shen Fang, then dismounted. He tossed his hair with a flourish.
"Third Uncle, this is so much fun!!! You should try it too."
Shen Fang took the reins and touched the white horse, which looked somewhat different from the inland horses.
Where did you get this?
"I was just messing around when I saw an old man leading a few horses around. He looked kind of funny. I was bored, so I gave them a ride. I really didn't expect that, even though they were a bit ugly, they were actually pretty good. They were no worse than the well-bred horses in the horse farm."
"You know nothing! These are genuine Hequ horses, one of the three major horse farms in China. The Shandan Military Horse Farm is located in Hexi Corridor, Gansu Province. It is situated in the Damaying Grassland (historically known as Hanyang Grassland) at the northern foot of the Qilian Mountains in the middle of the Hexi Corridor. It covers a total area of ​​3.29 million mu, equivalent to the area of ​​two Hong Kong Special Administrative Regions. It is currently the largest and oldest horse farm in the world. These horses are all considered to be excellent."
Shen Kun looked completely bewildered: "What the heck?"
"More than 2,000 years ago, after Emperor Wu of Han dispatched General Huo Qubing to defeat the Xiongnu, the Hexi Corridor came into China's territory. Huo Qubing also established the Shandan Military Horse Ranch, which remains to this day. The Shandan Military Horse Ranch is not merely a natural grassland, but a legendary place of national significance. This fertile pasture became the military horse base of the Western Han Dynasty. It was thanks to this pasture that the Han Dynasty finally gained the ability to contend with the nomadic tribes of the grasslands. The Shandan Military Horse Ranch, known as the world's largest military horse ranch, was founded by Huo Qubing of the Han Dynasty and is divided into four sub-ranches: the main ranch, the first ranch, the second ranch, and the fourth ranch. The horses produced here are among the best in China. Still think they're ugly? That's because you don't know how to appreciate their beauty."
"Mr. Shen, you are truly knowledgeable." Hua Zai was also itching to handle the horse. He was an expert at handling horses, often using his skills in filming, and he himself was also a fan. After hearing Shen Fang's explanation, he couldn't help but marvel at how knowledgeable Shen Fang was for his young age.
It was actually a coincidence that Shen Fang had visited the Shandan Military Horse Farm in his previous life and witnessed the famous scene of thousands of horses galloping.
The Hequ horse does look a bit comical. The famous "Flying Horse of Gansu" was modeled after them. Don't let their appearance fool you; they're incredibly fast runners. Due to the unique geographical location, the horses here have exceptional endurance, giving them not only speed advantages but also a much stronger advantage in long-distance running than ordinary horses.
Shen Fang smiled and said, "You just happened to find out about this. Hua Ge, are you itching to get involved?"
Andy Lau nodded: "It's been a long time since I've ridden one, I want to have some fun."
