1979 Golden Age

The inspiration for "Invincible Mandarin Duck Legs" comes from a folk legend in the Chaoshan area, "Mandarin Duck and Tielu Tao".

Lutao is a kind of pointed high-heeled shoes worn by women in the Qing Dynasty to wrap their feet. Tielutao is made of iron. The heroine in it is good at legwork.

In the 1980s, someone wrote this legend into a literary script, and then made a movie in 1988. However, except for the setting of legwork, the movie basically has nothing to do with the prototype.

The martial arts style of this film is very old-fashioned and was very popular in mainland China. It was later sold to Hong Kong, where it was already outdated. In order to increase the box office, Hong Kong people strangely hired Charlie Cao. Yes, he is the Charlie Cao you are familiar with.

Some pornographic scenes were re-filmed and treated as a Category III film to attract the audience...

Chen Qi submitted articles to "Story Club" purely to earn some royalties. He didn't want to give out really good stories, so he left it to his own magazine.

At the moment, he had been busy all afternoon and had only written about two thousand words. He rubbed his wrist and said, "Damn it! I have to find a helper. Why am I still acting like a social animal after traveling through time?!"

It was dinner time, so he put on his coat and went out, heading straight to the cafeteria.

Find Liang Xiaosheng and get straight to the point: "I am writing for "Story Club", but I have other things to do during this period, so I may not be able to take care of it. If you don't mind, why not do me a favor?"

"How can I help?"

"It's about 50,000 words in total, divided into two parts. I can write the first half, but I don't have time for the second half. You can write it and complete the story according to my outline and character settings.

If we cooperate, the manuscript fee will be divided equally, I mean if it is successfully published. "

"this……"

Liang Xiaosheng was quite hesitant and said: "I write all novels with realistic themes, and I have never written about martial arts."

"It doesn't matter. You can write a few thousand words first. Let's find out the feeling together. You will become proficient in this thing as you write it."

"Then let me try?"

“Definitely give it a try!”

"Okay, just call me when you need me!"

Liang Xiaosheng nodded fiercely. He was not interested in writing about martial arts, but he was very interested in the royalties. He had a large family to support.

He officially started writing this year, and they are all short stories. He knows the manuscript fees this year. How much money can he make from short stories? He racked his brains for only one or two hundred yuan, and could write one article a year. But writing for Chen Qi is different. There is no need to force inspiration or brainstorming.

Liang Xiaosheng had to wait until "This is a Magical Land" won the National Short Story Award in 1982 to become famous, and his work was called "educated youth literature."

Educated youth literature and scar literature are different!

Scar literature completely denies the past and emphasizes suffering.

They think it is a hardship for them to go to the countryside, but there are still some people who truly devote their blood and sincerity to that land. Therefore, from the perspective of this group of people, completely denying the past is equivalent to denying one's own youth.

What Liang Xiaosheng wrote highlights a battlefield, fighting wolves, fighting snowstorms, defeating swamps in the Great Northern Wilderness, and finally reclaiming the fertile soil of black oil...

Although there is confusion and pain, overall I am positive about my experience.

Because of this, Chen Qi felt that he could write popular novels well. If he could, he would even want to tell him about ghosts blowing out lanterns - Liang Xiaosheng opened up a large rice dumpling in the Heilongjiang Production and Construction Corps to use materialism to ward off evil spirits. It is very logical. !

Front door, arrow tower.

This place has changed a lot. Along the east side of the arrow tower, there is a row of simple sheds built with wood and linoleum. There are several signs hanging outside, saying "Big Bowl of Tea", "Department Store", "Wonton" and other words.

Since the leader's inspection, the tea stall has developed rapidly. Not only has it attracted 20 people from next door, but it has also opened up channels for supply and bought a lot of overstocked goods. These things are overstocked products in shopping malls, but they are best-sellers here because they don’t require tickets.

The change of a thing must be based on some kind of contradiction.

The army of unemployed young people made the government worried and gave them a green light and a lot of resource support. This led to the vigorous development of various cooperatives in the capital.

Huang Zhanying is now the deputy director!

She was getting better and better at running her business. She was holding a stack of socks and shouting loudly: "Take a look at the newly arrived thick socks. It's been a cold day. We don't have much stock, so first come first." First come first!”

Qianmen's large bowl of tea is famous in the capital, and there are many customers every day. As soon as she shouted, it was packed with people in the blink of an eye.

Huang Zhanying was selling when he suddenly heard a voice: "Warm a bowl of wine and bring a plate of fennel beans!"

"Do you know how many ways to write the word fennel?"

"Hey, we got the code!"

"Hahaha, Comrade Chen Qi!"

Huang Zhanying handed over the work to others, turned around, and sure enough, there stood the heartless pretty boy, followed by two women.

"Comrade Zhanying!"

Chen Qi shook hands with her tightly again and introduced: "These are the two actors from the crew, Gong Xue and Zhang Jinling. They are out for a walk today and have some food here."

"Hello! Hello!"

"Come and sit here, it's cold today, have a sip of hot soup and try our wontons!"

Huang Zhanying led them into the shed, which was quite a large space with tables and chairs. She ran to the small narrow room next door and soon brought three bowls of steaming wontons.

Well done.

Chen Qi took a sip and said: "The support from above is very strong for you, and there is also some dried shrimps."

"We are now a famous stall. How much do you think we can earn in a month now?"

"Five thousand?"

"It's just a little more. There are more than thirty people, and they all rely on this stall to support themselves. By the way, you have to call me Deputy Director Huang from now on, I'm an official!"

"Who is the real one?"

"Aunt Wang!"

puff!

Chen Qi choked and said, "Aunt Wang will be the director?"

"As street cadres, they are just in name. I have the final say in reality."

Huang Zhanying spread his legs and sat on the chair with dignity, saying: "I have applied for a store with the district. There is a house, but it is far away from this area. I think our foundation is at the front door and we cannot leave. .

The district will help us build a shed first and then look at the house later. "

"What about winter?"

"Hang up a cotton curtain and light the stove inside. Keep it up. I won't let the children from the opera school come. It's cold and miserable, and that little girl named Liu Bei is still talking about you."

Huang Zhanying acted like a machine gun, feeling relieved after he finished speaking. Then he looked at Zhang Jinling, then at Gong Xue, and said, "Are you from the south?"

"Well, I'm from Shanghai."

"When I look at you, you look so delicate even when you are eating wontons. Look at where you are sitting. Hey, I don't even know how to sit. How do you swing your legs..."

"..."

Gong Xue was a little embarrassed, Chen Qi said hurriedly: "Okay, okay, go ahead and do your work!"

"I have to greet you!"

"No need, we'll leave after eating!"

Chen Qi drove her away. Zhang Jinling smiled and said: "This is Comrade Zhanying you are talking about. It's exactly as you described. He has such a good temper."

"This is the first time I've seen such a refreshing girl." Gong Xue agreed.

"It's okay, she's so careless. When she was a kid, I couldn't even beat her when she was riding on her."

"So your working relationship has always been at the tea stall?"

"Yeah, I said I was selling big bowls of tea, but no one believed me."

"Then you are too humble!"

Zhang Jinling swallowed a wonton in one gulp and said sincerely: "Have you ever thought about coming to Beijing Film Studio? I talked about this with Director Wang, and she also said she hopes you can come."

"I follow the organization's arrangements." Chen Qi said seriously.

"Pretend, who doesn't know that Director Wang values ​​you? With his temperament, he will definitely transfer you in when "Romance in Lushan" is released."

After Zhang Jinling finished speaking, she suddenly turned her head and said again: "Xiao Gong, have you ever thought about coming to Beijing Film Studio?"
