Finally it was time to write the preface again. Whenever this time comes, it means that another work that I collaborated with Bao Jingjing is almost finished. From the beginning of Bao Jingjing's serial novels to the end of our film shooting, the question I was asked the most was: Nepal?Why go to Nepal to make a movie? The answer I give is different every time.Facing literary youth, I say it is because of the meaning of travel.In the face of "capitalists", I am talking about Rinpoche.Facing the fashion petty bourgeoisie, I will take out a photo saved in my mobile phone and answer him (her) in eight words: shrouded in Buddha's light, quiet and profound.

Actually?Why did Bao Jingjing go to Nepal to write a novel and a movie script?In her later script, she wrote the following dialogue with the help of the heroine Cheng Yumeng. Cheng Yumeng: Why did I receive a notice not to let me visit the gourmet food in Tuscany? Editor-in-Chief: Oh, the thing about Tuscany is getting dirty. Cheng Yumeng: How come?Didn't it take a long time to plan? Editor-in-Chief: Changed to go fishing in New Zealand. Cheng Yumeng: So what? The editor-in-chief took off the massager impatiently, with green jelly around his eyes, and the editor-in-chief wiped his face while looking at Cheng Yumeng.

Editor-in-Chief: The sea fishing in New Zealand was done by a few young rich second generations, and they were going to go there to play. Cheng Yumeng was stunned. Editor-in-Chief: There is a father of a child who is running an advertisement in our agency. Let’s discuss it with us and ask our magazine to follow up and provide some positive and sunny reports for these children. It is best to cooperate with charity Ah, the embodiment of self-worth, hooking up, in return, people are willing to double the amount of advertisements for our agency, you say this, can the agency not agree?Win-win, win win! OK?

Cheng Yumeng froze in place. Editor-in-Chief: However, originally the agency said that if sea fishing in New Zealand could become a major topic, there would be no need to send people abroad. Later, I asked the editor, saying that it was not easy for Xiao Cheng. He had never been abroad before, so this time he had to apply for a passport If she is in a hurry, she is afraid that she will not be able to go, so at least let her go abroad once. Cheng Yumeng's expression softened. Cheng Yumeng: Then...then where are you going to send me? The editor-in-chief smirked. Editor-in-Chief: A really great place.

Cheng Yumeng looked expectant. Cheng Yumeng: ...that is? Editor-in-Chief: Pokhara. Cheng Yumeng: Listen, it seems that Tuscany is not far away. The editor-in-chief smiled slightly and nodded. Editor-in-Chief: Speaking of which, it’s not too far away...Nepal, you know?It is a very nice resort city in Nepal. Cheng Yumeng's eyes widened. Cheng Yumeng: Nepal? !What am I doing there? The editor-in-chief impatiently flipped through the magazine proofs spread out on the table. Editor-in-Chief: What happened to Nepal?The air is fresh, the prices are cheap, and there are so many snow-capped mountains. It is our little Switzerland in the east...

Cheng Yumeng: But editor-in-chief, I have prepared so many strategies for going to Italy, how to eat various ingredients, how to find delicious small restaurants, I have been preparing for three months!Suddenly I went to Nepal, no matter how good you say about this place, the gap is too big, too unfair... The editor-in-chief looked at her irritably. Editor-in-Chief: Xiao Cheng, I've been training you for so long, why can't you raise your quality to a level similar to mine?You stand in front of me and complain to me about unfairness? So funny!Are you looking for fairness?Please go out, go downstairs, turn right, walk 500 meters, there is a building called "Chaoyang District People's Court", there is what you want.

Cheng Yumeng froze in place. The actual situation is like this - In 2011, before it was released, I gave Bao Jingjing a very difficult assignment: to adapt the novel into a 30-episode TV series, which involved a capital game of 700 million yuan, the restructuring of state-owned enterprises, and the analysis of the current situation of China's state advancement and private retreat. Thinking, the survival rules of white-collar workers in the workplace, etc., etc. At that time, everyone suspected that I was a little out of my mind when I handed over this project to a little girl born in 1987, but I firmly believed that Bao Jingjing could write what I wanted. She bravely shouldered the heavy burden and began to create the important story. Of course, the process can be imagined. It was very difficult. Bao Bao broke down several times and cried bitterly in front of the computer several times, thinking that she would not be able to hand in this assignment at all. .

Therefore, on a beautiful night in the late summer and early autumn, we met to drink a small beer and chat about the script. After I tried my best to encourage Bao Bao's creation, I needed to promise a bright future. Me: Now the script is 80% complete, and you are only one breath away from success!After you finish writing this, you should take a good rest. I have already thought about the next movie, and I am going to shoot it abroad. In this way, after you finish writing, you can go abroad immediately, travel, rest, and think about the next movie. Bao Bao's eyes lit up: ...Where are you going to send me?

I pondered for a while: Maldives?Just Maldives!You take Xiao Wang with you, have fun. Bao Bao: Thank you director!Then I'll go back to writing the script, bye! When the manuscript was handed in, we still made an appointment to drink a small beer together to celebrate the success. When I was happy, I suddenly said to Baobao: I thought about it carefully, going to the Maldives to shoot a movie is quite boring! Bao Bao was vigilant: Why is it boring? Me: Think about it, there is nothing else in that place except the sea, the beach, and the hotel!I'm not going to shoot the MV, why go there?

Bao Bao: Then you want to go to...? Me: Nepal! Bob: Nepal? ! Me: Well, Nepal. Based on my understanding of the geography of Baojingjing, she must go home and Google to find out the exact location of Nepal, but she instinctively knew that this was a bit unreliable, so she asked a question, and everyone was asking Question: Why go to Nepal? ? In fact, I just want to understand one thing-why we have money and a better life now, but all kinds of people around me are unhappy? Those who don’t have money are unhappy, it’s understandable that they don’t have money, and those who have money are also unhappy, although they don’t think they are too rich, but they are generally unhappy. Those who are not married are unhappy, and those who are married, I was also not happy, and suddenly felt that I was in such a strange country. There is no "brainless" in this country-because one is smarter than the other, but here is full of "unhappy".

Why? This is the question I asked Bao Jingjing, and it was also a question I asked myself. Afterwards, Bao Jingjing, who was looking for the answer, started his trip to Nepal to collect wind alone. After she returned to Beijing and complained about being scared by a power outage and being cheated on a trip, she said three words that hit me—waiting for the wind to come. This is what the paragliding instructor in Pokhara told her. No matter how anxious you are, or how scared you are, we can't rush forward now, it's useless to rush out, we can't fly, now we just need to sit quietly and wait for the wind to come. At that time, I was sure that Bao Jingjing did not go to Nepal in vain. I didn't even think about the story behind it. Bao Bao went to Nepal three times and changed his manuscript four times. The preparation of the film was full of twists and turns, and when it was almost impossible to proceed, it was the thin woman who firmly told me that our judgment was correct, and encouraged me to go to Nepal to enjoy the filming time happily. Maybe because of this, this movie gave me a kind of enjoyment that I never had before. To this day, I am not so sure that I made it well, but I just want to say: Thank you Bao Bao!Thanks!I am grateful for the difficulties it has brought me, because I always see a brilliant dawn from the end of difficulties... Finally one day, when I was filming the scene of "Waiting for the Wind" on a mountain with an altitude of more than 2,000 meters in Pokhara - five o'clock in the morning, the sky was bright, and the staff were working hard to carry heavy photography lighting equipment, Fishtail Mountain The silhouette has gradually become visible, and we all started urging each other anxiously, shouting loudly to the co-shooters from Nepal to work quickly, I remember I yelled and said, "I got up so early, but I will miss the most beautiful sunrise picture At that time, suddenly an eagle leisurely passed through the thousands of rays of light, and soared leisurely and freely above our heads. The sun came out and sprinkled on the beautiful Yuwei Peak. Everyone stopped their work and stared at the eagle. Time seemed to stand still. I seem to have missed something, that was the one I was anxious to take just now... But I seem to be waiting for something... I seem to be the same as Wang Can and Cheng Yumeng. I realized something, but I didn't fully understand it... So, it doesn't matter, let us quietly wait for the wind to come... So, we haven't changed, you know... So, Bao Jingjing, a thousand cups of wine is less than a bosom friend, I did it, you can do whatever you want. When the first draft is fixed
