1979 Golden Age

At night, in the guesthouse.

Gong Xue finished washing up and sat at the table to read the class notes she had taken during the day.

She listened carefully every time in class, but Chen Qi did not set a template for her, allowing her to play freely. She had accumulated experience in two plays, and with Chen Qi's guidance, she had already had some understanding of acting.

For example, what he told Li Lianjie and others, she knew was just the most basic stuff, and she had learned a lot in Lushan.

What is more advanced?

She thought it was her crying scene on the last day of "Lushan Love".

"Can I add something? Chen Shaomei is in poor health, but she is the daughter of a master after all, and she has been influenced by him since she was a child... She can't do strenuous exercise, so can she play with a slingshot and throw stones?"

Gong Xue looked at it and suddenly had an idea, and hurriedly took notes.

Then she stood up, walked to the mirror, practiced various expressions, and saw which one had the feeling of Chen Shaomei, and then started walking again, as soft as a willow in the wind. She walked around the room for a few circles, and suddenly she supported herself with her left foot, and raised her right leg beautifully.

Her body was flexible and neat.

After doing this action, Gong Xue couldn't help but smile. She looked weak, but she was actually in good health. She had learned dance and practiced martial arts for a year, of course not professionally, just to keep fit.

In history, when Xie Jin filmed "Qiu Jin", she was the first one to be chosen, Qiu Jin, the female hero of Jianhu, who knew swordsmanship! Unfortunately, she was replaced before filming because Gong Xue gave people too serious stereotypes, and she didn't look like a fighter. Many people opposed it...

Chen Qi also had a preconceived idea and deliberately set a role for her that didn't know martial arts.

Gong Xue felt a little regretful, but she didn't tell him and let him arrange it. Everyone's personality is a collection of contradictions, not a single one. She has both a competitive and obedient side, and a submissive side, which is not contradictory...

She practiced in the room every night, very hard, studying every scene in the script and how to act.

This is called desk work.

The best actress in China who does desk work is Qin Hailu.

She had already understood the play thoroughly before filming, and every detail was set, so she just stood in front of the camera and killed it. In contrast, Zhou Xun is a feeling type. Without feeling, she can't act.

"Dong Dong Dong!"

"Xiao Gong!"

At this time, Wang Haowei's voice came from outside. Gong Xue hurriedly opened the door and said in surprise: "Director Wang, why are you here so late?"

"I have a lot of things to do today, I just finished!"

Wang Haowei walked into the room unceremoniously, sat on the bed, and said with a smile: "I'm here to tell you good news, two good news, which one do you want to hear first?"

"Good news?"

Gong Xue thought about it and said in surprise: "Is it possible that the post-production of "Lush Mountain Love" has been completed?"

"You are a smart girl, it is indeed completed. The internal review during the day was unanimously satisfied by the factory leaders and gave a very good High evaluation, and full of praise for your performance. "

"Great! So, we will be able to see "Love in Lushan" in the cinema soon?"

"After we review it, we have to report it to various departments for review. If it passes, it will be submitted to China Film. China Film holds a film viewing meeting every quarter, and representatives from local film companies come to watch the film and then buy copies. "

Wang Haowei explained the process and said: "It is now the second quarter, and it will be released in the third quarter, and the earliest will be July."

This kind of film viewing meeting is completely based on the personal judgment of the representatives, and the error is very large.

Gong Xue didn't know these, she was just happy, and Wang Haowei said: "The second happy event is related to you. Director Wang thinks you have great potential and wants to transfer you to Beijing Film Studio. I don't know what you mean?"

"Ah!"

Gong Xue covered her mouth and almost lost her composure. Her current life goal is to enter a film studio.

The plan with her parents was to wait for "Love in Lushan" to be released, go to Shanghai Film Studio to communicate, and then see what Beijing Film Studio means. Who knew that the Beijing Film Studio had already proposed it.

"This..."

Gong Xue hesitated for a moment, thinking of asking Wang Haowei to wait a while, but it was a bit ungrateful. Should she discuss it with her parents? It would take many days to write letters back and forth... The decisive side of her character was revealed, and she would miss this opportunity!

So she said: "Thank you for your appreciation, I am very willing!"

"Okay, take me to the army tomorrow, and I will talk to your leader first."

Wang Haowei was also very happy and smiled: "Xiao Gong, we will be colleagues in the future, and there will be many opportunities for cooperation. I didn't lie to you, did I?"

"Well, I still need your guidance!"

Wang Haowei left.

Gong Xue was immersed in the joy of becoming a professional actor. She lay on the bed and thought about it. Suddenly, she didn't know what she thought of, and quickly covered her head with the quilt.

...

The next day came in a blink of an eye.

Gong Xue sat in the room and waited as agreed, but Wang Haowei didn't come. She waited patiently until noon, but still didn't see anyone. She had no choice but to run to the main building, but she couldn't find him either. She suddenly felt a little worried.

"Is there something wrong?"

She didn't have many friends in the factory. She was thinking of asking Chen Qi about it when she suddenly ran into Zhang Jinling and hurriedly said, "Sister Jinling, have you seen Director Wang?"

"Shh!"

Zhang Jinling made a gesture to silence and whispered, "Director Wang is under review!"

"What happened?"

"I don't know which bastard is spreading rumors that the publicity of "Lush Mountain Love" is linked to Taiwan. The city's publicity leader heard about it and asked for a review. Everyone is in the small auditorium!"

In 1979, the mainland issued the "Notice to Taiwan Compatriots", advocating the realization of postal, air and trade links between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait.

This is called the Three Links.

It is not the three links of port, channel and intestine.

The so-called Four Links is to add intermarriage, which is against national policy!

"Ah? Then, what should we do?"

Gong Xue was panicking when she encountered such a thing for the first time. Zhang Jinling didn't understand either. She said: "I don't know either. I was just thinking of looking for Xiao Chen. He knows more."

"Then let's go together!"

So the two ran to the studio. Chen Qi had just finished lunch and was telling a story to a group of people. Li Lianjie, Ji Chunhua and others listened attentively.

"Xiao Chen! Xiao Chen!"

"What's wrong?"

The two called him out and told him what happened. Unexpectedly, Chen Qi was calm and said, "It's normal to review the film. Why are you making a fuss?"

"But what if they don't approve it?"

"No, this... This matter is very complicated. I can't explain it clearly at the moment. Anyway, don't worry. I'll go find out the news. Hey, Sister Xue, why didn't you come to class this morning?"

He also imitated Li Lianjie to call Sister Xue. Gong Xue glared at him. At this time, she was still in the mood to joke and said, "Director Wang originally asked me out. I didn't see her, so I went to find her and found out about this."

As she said this, she felt worried again. Wouldn't her entry into the factory fail?

Chen Qi comforted them and went to the door of the small auditorium to wait for news.

Review!

Finally encountered this hurdle.

There are contents involving relevant issues in the movie, which need to be reviewed by relevant departments.

For example, those involving women's rights must be reviewed by the Women's Federation; those involving the disabled must be reviewed by the Disabled Persons' Federation; those involving medical treatment must be reviewed by the health department; those involving the police must be reviewed by the public security department...

The same is true in the United States. For example, in "Windtalkers", there is a plot in which American soldiers use pliers to pull out the gold teeth from the mouth of the corpse after killing the enemy. The military asked to delete it - but this is a true historical event. American soldiers even played with the skulls of Japanese people.

"Lush Mountain Love" was rumored everywhere, so of course the authorities had to review it, and there is nothing wrong with that.

What we are afraid of is that a movie will be blocked just because of personal ideas or prejudices without violating any rules.
