Liang Liang also greeted these friends.
Three or four years ago, they would go fishing in the river and catching birds in the mountains, arm in arm, fight with other people while watching movies, or pretend to walk behind girls and secretly smell the scent of their cosmetics.
However, as he left the mountain village over the years, he rarely saw them anymore, and he felt somewhat estranged from these friends, or rather, quite estranged.
Although they all wore smiles on their faces, there seemed to be an invisible wall separating them.
This gap is caused by a combination of factors, including time, social status, and wealth.
Liang Liang knew very well that once this estrangement was formed, it would not be easily eliminated.
Liang Liang smiled and greeted the people inside, then asked for two packs of Ashima cigarettes and shared them.
"Liang Liang! Want to play mahjong? I'll let you play." Someone offered him a seat.
Liang Liang hadn't played mahjong for many years. Since the day he left this mountain village, he hadn't touched a mahjong tile once.
"Okay! I'll play a bit. I've completely forgotten how to play mahjong."
Liang Liang didn't stand on ceremony and sat down to start playing mahjong.
While playing mahjong, they answered various questions. Their friends were interested in their appearance on the Spring Festival Gala and asked all sorts of strange and unusual questions.
While answering their questions, Liang Liang also asked them some questions, such as about their work and marriage.
This year, four or five friends from Liangshuiwan Village are getting married, and Liang Liang promised to bring a band back to congratulate them when they get married.
"Liang Liang! You're so famous now, but the folks in our village have never seen you perform. Why don't you give us a show?"
Someone made this request.
"I remember I performed there once two years ago, right?"
"That doesn't count; it's not formal at all."
"Hahaha! Good! It's really time to give back to the villagers. Today is the second day of the Lunar New Year, so let's do it on the fifth day, right at the gate of the guitar factory."
The room was filled with enthusiastic applause.
Liang Liang has been on CCTV's Spring Festival Gala three times, and now he's going to perform for the villagers in Liangshuiwan. This is something that no amount of money can buy; it's an honor for the people of Liangshuiwan.
Liang Liang didn't hire a band. After a busy year, who wouldn't want to spend the Spring Festival quietly at home with their family?
On the morning of the third day of the Lunar New Year, I went to Gao Xing's house to ask the Yinna River Band to come over on the fifth day. Then I called and notified the Hongya Band.
Then Han Chui sent someone to deliver a set of stage sound equipment.
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, someone set up a stage in front of the guitar factory.
While other factories were setting up stages, Liangliang brought a few friends to the film and television base south of Nanda Mountain.
The film studio was filled with tower cranes and building materials, as well as night watchmen.
There are currently four construction teams working on this site, while four scenes are being built simultaneously: Qin Palace, Contemporary Street, Jiangnan Water Town, and Hong Kong City.
The current progress of these projects is around 13%. Some should have been completed in 1997. Even if they cannot all be completed this year, they will definitely be put into use next year.
Liang Liang remembered that Hengdian also had a Qingming Scroll painting; this one must be built as well.
In addition to the South Mountain of Nanjing University, a scenic area will also be built by the sea this year.
Years later, Black Island Town built a Black Island Resort on the southernmost building.
Liang Liang plans to turn this place into a seaside film and television base.
Another place is Gala Island, not far from Yahe. In my previous life, there was a little-known film and television base here.
Of course, in 1996, this was just a desolate, uninhabited island with unique and beautiful scenery, about three or four miles from the shore.
At low tide, the area between the island and the coast is filled with brown sand and silt, but at high tide it is just a sea.
Years later, a concrete bridge was built between the island and the coast, wide enough for the same truck to pass through.
Liangliang also plans to develop this area as the second sea base of Pingshan Film and Television City.
Gala Island is about 30 miles away from Black Island along the coast.
If the development is successful, Pingshan Film and Television City will have a central base and two seaside bases, forming a triangle.
Three miles south of Pingshan Film and Television City lies the Yinna River, which is 100 meters wide, and three hundred meters to the northwest is Pingshan Mountain, which is about 300 meters above sea level.
It also relies on the Nan Da Mountain, which is over 100 meters above sea level, and there is a small river about 20 meters wide in the film and television city.
With mountains, rivers, and the sea, this film and television city is quite impressive.
The only uncertainty now is how many film crews will come to shoot here this year.
He doesn't know the box office figures for "The Dream Factory" yet, but breaking even shouldn't be a problem.
The film only cost a little over 3 million yuan to make, so as long as it grosses 10 to 8 million yuan at the box office, it won't lose money.
As long as they don't lose money, they will continue filming this year. Then it won't just be a Lunar New Year film; they might even make a commercial film. But he doesn't have a specific plan in mind right now.
Liang Liang stood on the sandy road from Gaobao Township to Heidao Township, frowning.
This road has to be paved, otherwise the dust and sand flying everywhere when people drive on it will be unacceptable.
This dirt road was paved with asphalt at the end of 2000.
From now until the end of 2000, there are still four years. This won't do; it's a huge waste of time.
This issue should be addressed by Yahe City as soon as possible. I wonder if the man who is looking for Qin Wenju is suitable?
When Liang Liang participated in the Spring Festival Gala rehearsals at the end of last year, Qin Wenju got married to her boyfriend.
Unable to return in time, Liang Liang asked Mu Shuihua to attend the wedding.
Since Qin Wenju got married, Liang Liang has not seen what Qin Wenju looks like.
I'll visit them in the next couple of days to ask if there's any possibility of building this highway.
If the city doesn't have any plans to repair the road for the time being, he will have to invest in repairing it himself.
He can't wait three or four years to repair this highway. If he waits until the government repairs it, he'll be finished in the film studio.
Without convenient transportation, people certainly wouldn't want to come.
At 8:00 AM on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Liang Liang's concert, held to give back to his hometown folks, officially began.
No one knows how the news got out, but the open space in front of the guitar factory was full of people, as were the village road and the still-frozen paddy fields outside the village office.
People from almost every village within a 20-mile radius came to see what was going on.
The small shops next to the guitar factory were bustling with activity; they sold out several days' worth of goods even before the performance started.
More than a dozen cartons of cigarettes were sold.
The shop owner's wife was grinning from ear to ear.
Due to the tight schedule, there was no rehearsal for the performance. They just pulled out a program and performed the acts one by one.
The Yinna River Band sang four songs, the Hongya Band sang four songs, Xu Mei sang several dance songs, and then accompanied Liang Liang.
Liang Liang sang four or five songs, including "The Red Flag Fluttering," "Chasing Dreams with a Pure Heart," and "I Believe."
Each song was met with enthusiastic applause and cheers from the villagers.
