Huayu since 1980

Chapter 883 Technology Changes Life

"Is there anything I don't understand today?" Chen Wei said with a smile, "I'll tell you everything I can tell you while I'm on the set!"

Chen Wei plays the owner of the Peace Inn in "Eternal Night". He is old and immortal, but he is the only one among the eight monsters who died.
In fact, according to the filming plan, Chen Wei's scene has another month to wrap up.

During this period of time, Wu Jianye also discussed with Chen Wei. Because of Chen Wei's age, it would be inappropriate to continue the solo movie of the following trilogy as the leading actor, so the two then agreed to make Chen Wei's subsequent single film The People movie trilogy was turned into an 8-episode TV series.

Among them, Chen Wei's eight-episode TV series is more like a prequel to his character!
The old drunkard played by You Benchang, the butcher played by Zang Jinsheng, and the storyteller played by Wang Gang also had the same encounter with Chen Wei, all of which were changed into an 8-episode TV series.

In the past, Principal Gu would often find some old actors in the movie to learn acting skills, so this time Chen Yu and You Benchang saw Principal Gu coming over, thinking that he still came to ask for acting skills.

But this time they obviously misunderstood Principal Gu's intention.

"When I was doing morning exercises this morning, I saw a group performer." Then Principal Gu told Chen Wei and You Benchang about meeting Qian Chunsheng from the beginning to the end, and then asked with some doubts: "In China, there are still real Is it such a difficult place? I heard from Qian Chunsheng that if the children in their village want to go to school, they have to walk more than ten miles to go to school in the countryside."

Chen Wei and You Benchang looked at each other, no one thought that Principal Gu came here for this matter, but immediately there were smiles and relief on the faces of both of them.

"I didn't expect that you, an actor from Xiangjiang, would be able to take care of this kind of thing!" Chen Wei sighed.

You Benchang also said beside him: "You can worry about their worries, which shows that you are a good boy. In fact, even some actors in China will not see this!"

Feng Pants has already said before that actors in this era are generally stingy, but there are other reasons for this. For example, actors in this era have just caught up with the changes in the film business era, and everyone has no money in their pockets. How much.

Shooting movies and TV shows doesn't make them pay much.

The real money-making jobs are going out and performing, and now you have to add the remuneration for advertising.

For example, Liu Xiaoqing and Gong Li are some of the highest-paid performers in China. Their prices range from 4 to 5.

However, this is already the price of last year, and it will definitely rise again this year.

In fact, in this era, there are still a group of special talents. Although the appearance fee is not as high as these stars, the actual number of hands is more than these stars, such as the most famous idea king in China in the early 90s.

In another time and space, Liu Xiaoqing's appearance fee is 4, while Idea King's appearance fee is 2. Those business owners who want to invite Idea King to dinner have to queue up and get another 3.

And advertising revenue is gradually becoming one of the most important income of these actors.

Now a well-known star's advertising endorsement fee has reached hundreds of thousands. When "Dream of Red Mansions" became popular, some merchants once approached Sister Lin and offered 60 yuan to invite her to endorse their products.

Principal Gu heard the two old actors praise himself, his fair face blushed slightly, and said: "I just heard him say that, and I felt a little uncomfortable in my heart, so I didn't think much about it."

"Haha, it's good to think so." You Benchang said happily.

Chen Wei said from the side: "There is no way to do this. Our country is too big and the population is too large. Although the country is developing rapidly, some places are still very poor because of their geographical environment. , but I believe that in the future, the spicier the better!"

You Benchang nodded in agreement.

Their generation has a sense of national identity that some young people in later generations cannot understand.

When Principal Gu wanted to say something, Chen Wei spoke first.

"If you really want to know more about these things, I suggest you ask Xiao Wu. It was reported earlier that Xiao Wu himself sponsors an orphanage!"

Before Wu Jianye got to know about the orphanage because of Zhao Juemin, now almost everyone in the whole country knows about it.

Principal Gu sneered and said, "I'm just curious, so I won't bother Director Wu!"

"What's the matter, don't bother me?" At this moment, Wu Jianye suddenly opened the door and walked in.

Compared with Principal Gu's respect for Chen Wei and You Benchang, Wu Jianye is more familiar with the two old people, so coming to their room is also very casual.

"Why are you here?" Chen Wei asked curiously after seeing Wu Jianye.

"The film crew is going to go shopping in Wuzhou City. Let me ask the two of you if there is anything you need, so I just let them buy it together!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.

You Benchang smiled and said, "The ham sausage here is famous all over the country, buy more!"

Wu Jianye smiled and said, "I've already told them, I promise to make everyone have a good dinner tonight!"

At this time, Chen Wei told Wu Jianye about President Gu's question just now.

Wu Jianye was also slightly taken aback after listening to it. Although there are few materials in later generations to show how Principal Gu embarked on the road of building a school madman, Wu Jianye is sure that it was definitely not in the 90s, at least not this one. period.

It's just that I didn't expect that I found Principal Gu as the leading man in the film, but I also planted the seeds of the school's establishment in Principal Gu's heart in advance.

"I'm just curious." Principal Gu's face became more and more embarrassed.

Wu Jianye laughed and said, "There's nothing to be ashamed of. It's a good thing to have such an idea. If you want to know their stories, I'll send you some materials during this time. You can read them yourself." !"

Although I appreciate Principal Gu's ideas very much, Wu Jianye did not give Principal Gu too much advice on this matter. Wu Jianye believes that even if he is reborn, some people's kindness will definitely not be buried. It's a kind of nature, and the same is true for Principal Gu. If he didn't have such a nature, he wouldn't have paid attention to such things.

As for what Principal Gu will do next, Wu Jianye did not give any advice. He believed that Principal Gu would still be so outstanding in the future.

Principal Gu also had no objection to Wu Jianye's arrangement, and said with a smile, "Thank you Director Wu!"

Wu Jianye nodded and said, "A few young people in the crew want to go shopping in the city, do you have any idea to go there together?"

Because the crew only gave one day off, and everyone has been in Hengdian for about a month, so I also want to go to the city to see it.

Principal Gu thought for a while and said, "Okay, I haven't been there yet!"

Principal Gu decided to go to Wuzhou City with Wu Jianye and others, but old actors like Chen Wei, You Benchang, and Ma Jingwu didn't want to move anymore. They really saw everything, and there was nothing wrong with them. Very curious.

If you have that time, you might as well sit in the hotel and drink the Dahongpao you got from Wu Jianye.

When Wu Jianye and President Gu walked to the lobby of the hotel, some people who were going to go shopping in the city together gathered here.

And Wu Jianye had already arranged for the bus, and everyone got on the bus and went directly to Wuzhou City.

After arriving in Wuzhou City, I can clearly feel the lively atmosphere here. This is the first time for Principal Gu to celebrate the Spring Festival in China, so he is naturally very curious about everything.

Especially the various toys in the hands of the children. Although the toys in their hands do not look as high-end as those in Xiangjiang, there is still a different feeling watching them play so happily.

Some adults directly ride their children on their own necks, watching them squeeze around in the crowd, Principal Gu is worried that they will fall off.

Yu Feihong walked beside Principal Gu, and asked with a smile, "Do you not see many scenes with so many people in Xiangjiang?"

After several months of getting along with each other, and because Principal Gu's Mandarin is taught by Yu Feihong, the two have become good friends.

Principal Gu smiled and said: "There are also. At this time, there are many people in places like Wong Tai Sin. Everyone will go to pray for blessings. Especially tomorrow, it will be more lively. Everyone wants to earn the first stick of incense in the new year."

He Yan curiously asked Principal Gu how Xiangjiang people celebrated the New Year.

Principal Gu said with a smile: "Actually, it's similar to domestic ones. It's also a lively family gathering. There are also gathering places designated by the Hong Kong government, where there will be traditions of dragon and lion dances."

After arriving in Wuzhou City, everyone separated. Except for the production staff and others who were responsible for the purchases for the Chinese New Year tonight, everyone else was doing their own activities. In the afternoon, everyone would call again.

"This is much more convenient than when we were filming "Raise the Red Lantern"!" Fang Shu, Wu Jianye, Zhao Fei and others walked together, holding the latest model of Tunan's mobile phone and exclaimed.

When "Raise the Red Lantern" was filmed, Big Brother hadn't come out yet. When they went to Jinyang, they had to agree on a time to meet. If they couldn't find a place, they might be caught blind!
Zhao Fei smiled and said: "Yes, I also find that life is more and more convenient now. In the past, everyone used landlines. If you want to make an appointment, you have to agree with each other on the time and address of the meeting. In this way, you often go wrong. , Now it’s all right, there is a phone and a pager, and I found it with just one call.”

Wu Jianye smiled and said: "It will be more convenient in the future. In two years, computers will be popularized and the Internet will be available in China. Computers will change the way many people live today!"

The first network cable in China will not be opened until next year, and the current computer is still just an independent office product.

Zhao Fei curled his lips and said, "How else can it be changed?" Then pointing to the crowd of people, he said, "I can't let me buy things without leaving home in the future!"

Wu Jianye smiled and said: "Maybe it's true, isn't the advancement of technology just to facilitate everyone's life?"

Zhao Fei said in disbelief: "No matter how convenient it is, how convenient is it? Now it's convenient enough!"

Wu Jianye smiled and didn't continue this topic. There are some things that people can't believe if they say it by themselves. In fact, the progress of the times has come at a speed that can't be covered by lightning.

The next 30 years can be said to be an era of rapid technological development, which means countless opportunities for everyone, it just depends on whether he can seize this opportunity.

This kind of thing is easy to say, but in fact it is extremely difficult to do.

After all, no one knows where the tuyere is. Even if you want to be that pig, you may not be able to stand on the tuyere. It is more likely that you will enter the slaughterhouse.
New Year's Eve is all about buying, buying, buying!
But at this time, most department stores are open in the morning and will be closed in the afternoon, so this morning has become the last time for everyone to do crazy shopping before the year.

The things in the department store were also snapped up by everyone as if they were free of money.

At noon, Wu Jianye and the others found a restaurant that was still open, had a quick bite, and then went back to the bus to wait for others.

It can be seen that everyone is happy to buy, basically big bags and small bags, especially Yu Feihong and his group of young people, who buy more things.

But if you want to say how practical these things are, it is unrealistic.

Everyone mainly lives in this atmosphere.

When returning in the afternoon, Yu Feihong sat next to Wu Jianye and said one thing: "Director Wu, I want to study abroad for a while after finishing this movie?"

In another time and space, when Yu Feihong was a teacher at the Film Academy, she wanted to study abroad, but now she came to shoot Wu Jianye's movie. She also knew Wu Jianye's experience in Hollywood, so she wanted to ask Let's take a look at Wu Jianye's opinion.

After listening to it, Wu Jianye thought for a while, and put forward different opinions, saying: "Actually, in my opinion, there is really no need for you to study abroad."

In fact, not only the current Yu Feihong, there will be many actors in the future. When he was popular, he chose to study abroad. The original intention was good. He wanted to enrich his experience and learn more different acting techniques.

But in fact, after they return from studying abroad, there will be no place for them in the domestic entertainment circle.

The entertainment industry is a very forgetful circle, and the replacement here is extremely fast. Basically, several radishes grab a hole. When you come back, you will find that other radishes have been planted in your hole. You have to find a hole again, but it's not that easy.

After telling Yu Feihong his analysis, Yu Feihong also fell silent. For their generation, studying abroad still has a special plot.

Wu Jianye didn't try to persuade Yu Feihong too much. They still have to understand this kind of thing, but one thing Wu Jianye is sure of is that if Yu Feihong chooses not to study abroad in the end, her achievements will definitely be better than the other one. Time and space are more successful!
