1979 Golden Age

Chapter 27 Director

Teresa Teng was introduced to the mainland in the late 1970s.

A small number of tapes were brought back from business trips, but most were smuggled in from the south.

At this time, it was still the original tape, because dubbing with a single-card recorder was very troublesome. By the early 1980s, blank tapes were used for dubbing. There was no cover or lyrics. People listened to a sentence, took notes, and passed it back and forth.

For quite some time, Teresa Teng's songs were all underground music, listened to secretly.

There are also some young people from high-ranking officials who lock the door, draw the curtains, put on "Sweet Honey", and the men and women start to dance the "erotic dance". The so-called erotic dance is nothing more than social dancing with tighter hugs.

Of course, there are also those who have fun, that is really erotic, and they will all be killed when beaten hard.

Teresa Teng's melodious voice is earth-shattering to the people of mainland China. Teresa Teng and Yang Yuying are the dream lovers of countless middle-aged and elderly men. This refers to the fathers and grandfathers. When those born in the 80s and 90s feel nostalgic, it must be the three giants of Jay Chou, Stefanie Sun, and QQ Music...

In short, Chen Qi bought three tapes and successfully turned his father into a die-hard fan.

Dad quickly fell into the music of Mi Mi. He would lock the door and listen to it for a while every night, and he would also hum along, which made Yu Xiuli very dissatisfied.

Chen Qi has been back for a few days, and during this period he treated his friends to a meal.

The tickets we all collected together were not many. Thirteen people plus Aunt Wang only paid a dozen yuan in total, which was an average of one yuan per person. But it's quite filling. Although it beats customers these days, it's still very filling.

It’s noon this day.

In a utility room in the street office, Chen Qi was rummaging through several broken boxes, which were full of colorful plastic sandals. The workmanship is simple, and it is very painful to wear barefoot, but it is brightly colored, sturdy, not afraid of getting dirty, and can also wade through water on rainy days.

"One hundred pairs of men's shoes for adults, one hundred pairs of women's shoes, and three hundred pairs of children's shoes. They say children's shoes are the best sellers."

"What's the selling price?"

"Men's shoes are 3.6 yuan, women's shoes are 3.2 yuan, and children's shoes are 2.1 yuan. This is the market price. Our purchase price is very cheap. The second plastic factory sold half of the shoes and gave them half for free, so it only cost 200 yuan in total."

"Did you give me money?"

"Give it!"

"Remember from now on, press him for a few months before paying. If you can get it for free, then it will be for free."

Chen Qi polluted the great red heart of a socialist fighter and said: "If we sell them, we will add two cents to each pair of shoes."

"Ah? Why are you raising the price?"

"We don't want tickets. Of course it's a bit more expensive. It's only a 20 cent increase, which is very conscientious."

After hearing this, Huang Zhanying took out a small abacus from his bag, played with it for a while, and shouted: "If we sell them all, we will make a net profit of more than 1,000 yuan!"

"Comrade Zhanying, how many times have I told you that with a bigger picture and a broader vision, millions of pairs of these sandals can be sold in Beijing in one summer. We need to eat as much as we can."

Just as he was talking, someone outside shouted: "Xiao Chen? Xiao Chen?"

"Old Liang?"

Chen Qi took a look and saw that it was Liang Xiaosheng.

"After asking many people, I finally found you. Come back to the factory with me."

"What's wrong?"

"The director of "Romance in Lushan" has been decided!"

As soon as he heard this, he stood up immediately, shouted to Huang Zhanying, "I'm leaving first," and followed Liang Xiaosheng out. Huang Zhanying shook his head. The literary and artistic front really corrodes people. It didn't take long before he was shaken.

Beijing Film Studio learned the model from the Soviet Union and created four major creative collectives.

Each creative collective has a core director, several other directors, as well as photography, art, props, etc., which together form a complete production team.

The core of the first group is Shuihua, whose representative works are "The White-Haired Girl", "Lin's Shop" and "Eternal Life in the Fire".

The core of the second group is Cui Wei, whose representative works are "Xiao Bing Zhang Ga" and "Song of Youth". Chen Huaikai is also from this team and belongs to the "other directors".

The core of the third group is Ling Zifeng, whose masterpiece is "Red Flag Pu" and the subsequent "Camel Xiangzi".

The core of the fourth collective is Cheng Yin, whose representative works are "The War in the South and the North" and "The Story of the Red Lantern".

These four are the four directors mentioned earlier, also known as the four marshals.

Later, two more Xies were added: Xie Tieli and Xie Tian.

The above are the top creative forces of Beijing Film Studio. In addition, there are a group of powerful Mesozoic directors, all of whom are counted among the "other directors". Other film studios can only covet it, and Beijing Film Studio can wholesale it, which shows its strength.

In fact, this model is the same in form as the Hollywood producer team, but the difference is that one is a director-centered system and the other is a producer-centered system.

Beijing Film Studio selected a Mesozoic actor for "Romance in Lushan Mountain".

Her name is Wang Haowei, a female director whose masterpieces include "Haixia" and "Look at This Family."

She is only 39 years old this year and graduated from Nortel's directing department. She received this assignment a few days ago. She accepted it without hesitation and immediately read the script. She felt that it was almost ready, so she asked to see Chen Qi.

Wang Haowei is not tall and has short ear-length hair. He is already sitting in the small conference room waiting.

It is said that the proportion of female directors in this era is very high, and the success rate is extremely amazing. Yang Jie, the director of "Journey to the West", knows that "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" also has a female director named Cai Xiaoqing, who is also a hero.

For example, the burning of Red Cliff, a big scene with 2,500 people, the highlight of the whole drama, was filmed by Cai Xiaoqing... This will be left to future generations. Can I lose 300 kilograms of meat without losing weight? ?

She waited for a while, listening to the sound of footsteps outside.

Liang Xiaosheng came in first, followed by a young man who was too young.

"This is director Wang Haowei, and this is Chen Qi!"

"Hello, hello, sorry, I just came over after I went home."

"It was me who was abrupt, I'm sorry..."

Wang Haowei smiled and shook hands with him. There was a big height difference between the two, which looked a little funny. Chen Qi was always humble and polite in front of these seniors. He only sat down when he saw others sitting down.

"The factory gave me this task. I've been reading the script these days and writing some thoughts."

She took a notebook and said with a smile: "This is my note. Let's talk about it first, and then take it back and take a look."

"No, no, no, I mainly just follow your guidance!"

"You can't say that. There is a script first and then there is a movie. We must reach a consensus and have unified thoughts, otherwise we won't be able to make it. I'll be honest, and if you have any ideas, feel free to tell me."

Um?

Chen Qi was stunned. His soul, which had been tainted by the cesspit, suddenly encountered purity, and he was still a little uncomfortable.

Immediately, the two started chatting.

First of all, the film was positioned as a scenic lyrical film. It did not deliberately show "persecution", "humanity torrent", etc., but centered on the theme of "love", loving people, loving mountains and rivers, and loving the motherland.

It is necessary to express positive emotions and build a new era.

This is different from the currently popular "scar literature". The core of scar literature is criticism and reflection on the torrent of humanity, with a sad tone... To be honest, Chen Qi has never been interested in scar literature.

"It seems we have a tacit understanding! We have thought of many things together."

Wang Haowei smiled more and more kindly and said: "Okay, now that the theme and ideology are unified, let's talk about the selection of actors!"
