I'm not just a director

Chapter 6 The filming machine is here!
Jiang Pei'an fell ill.

Walking four kilometers in a sweater and pulling a scooter on a snowy day, even a donkey should fall down.

Even when he was sick, he was not idle, and gave all the twenty episodes of folk songs he had written to Li Shouguo to ponder.

Well, my third-grade cousin Jiang Peijian was hired as a literary consultant for the show.

The main task is to read the plot to Li Shouguo.

The title of the film is "An Angry Husband Fights a Smart Daughter-in-law".

The content is the folk ditties he watched with his grandma in his previous life.

Maybe it's because of the two lives, Jiang Pei'an's memory is surprisingly good.

The pictures in the mind of the previous life flashed frame by frame in the mind like a movie.

……

The theme of the lines is also set.

After Jiang Pei'an finished humming the lines and tunes of an episode, Li Shouguo was able to keep up immediately.

It's a minor key, with a simple melody and catchy lines.

For a clapper opera actor like Li Shouguo, it couldn't be easier.

The male lead is Li Shouguo, and the female lead is Li Shouguo's former partner of the Bang Opera Troupe, Wang Hong.

The two acted as husband and wife with a tacit understanding, but the female advocated to ask for a performance fee of 50 yuan.

Jiang Pei'an nodded directly in agreement.

The money should also be attributed to the "nutrition fee" for Jiang Pei'an's eye injury.

Zhang Jianye's parents waved their hands and took out 500 yuan.

500 yuan was not a small amount at the time, and the average monthly salary in urban areas was only around [-] yuan.

The parents of Qianjiang Pei'an didn't want it, and deposited it directly with grandma.

Jiang Pei'an lied that he would need tuition fees to go to the county to learn a skill.

After repeated interrogation, grandma felt that there was no problem and handed over the money to him.

Well, learn directing, production, photography, lighting, post-production...

The tuition fee of 500 yuan is almost a profit.

Of course, Jiang Pei'an learned from himself!
The crew of "An Angry Husband Fights a Smart Daughter-in-law" has been preliminarily set up.

Actor: Li Shouguo.

Actress: Wang Hong.

Producer: The Dream of [-] Million Girls.

Director: The Dream of [-] Million Girls.

Screenwriter: The Dream of [-] Million Girls.

Camera: The Dream of [-] Million Girls.

Why not use Jiang Pei'an's real name?
Because this film is definitely a stain on his fame!

……

"Cough cough..."

Jiang Pei'an, recovering from a serious illness, took a bus to the county seat.

Relying on the route he remembered, Jiang Pei'an came to Xiyangyang's wedding photography in a rickshaw.

It is said to be a wedding shop, but it is probably just a facade, and the inside is very empty and simple.

"Anzi?"

As soon as Jiang Pei'an entered the store, he heard a familiar voice.

"It's really you, coming to the county town to play?"

The visitor greeted Jiang Pei'an with a smile.

Wang Xingxing, Jiang Pei'an's good buddy since childhood.

The two were childhood friends, and Wang Xingxing didn't move to the county until last year.

In my impression, after the two separated, Jiang Pei'an went out to work and was later imprisoned.

The two haven't seen each other for more than 20 years...

But it's okay now, for Wang Xingxing who just moved last year, Jiang Pei'an is still that iron buddy.

"Xing Xing, why is there no one in your wedding shop?"

Jiang Pei'an asked.

"Hey, after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, there will be fewer people getting married, and I plan to close this wedding shop."

Wang Xingxing put Jiang Pei'an's arm and said.

"close the door?"

Jiang Pei'an was a little puzzled.

Although for 1999, the term wedding photography was not as bad as the later generations.

But Wang Xingxing's customers are mainly people in the county.

They have money in their hands, and they are willing to spend more than 100 yuan to have someone shoot and record the whole process of getting married for a lifetime.

"No business, I plan to open a game hall after this store closes!

Do you know what a game hall is?There are many game consoles inside.

Have you ever played King of Fighters?Very fun! "

Wang Xingxing introduced it to his childhood playmate excitedly, not without showing off in his heart.

In the year since he moved to the county, from being ignorant and unfamiliar at the beginning, to now he has visited every place in the county.

Looking at this little friend who came to the city from the village at this time, his mentality has naturally changed.

A faint sense of superiority came to mind.

"Has King of Fighters 97 already become popular in the county? It is estimated that King of Fighters 98 and 99 will be soon.

No, the King of Fighters 99 should have been released in July this year, CS is probably still under development..."

Jiang Pei'an murmured, but the news from the county was still blocked.

The King of Fighters 97, which was released two years ago, is only now becoming popular.

"You, what are you talking about, Anzi, how could you have played the King of Fighters!

And the King of Fighters 98 you mentioned just now, my big brother in the game hall has never played it.

He usually just talks about it, you, where did you hear about it? "

Wang Xingxing looked at Jiang Pei'an in shock.

This little friend seems to be different from before...

Jiang Pei'an smiled and joked:

"Let's not talk about that, it costs a lot of money to open a game hall, do you have a mine at home?"

"Yes, my family does have a mine, haven't you heard of it?"

Wang Xingxing asked in surprise.

"Ok?"

"Didn't my dad do business in Jin Province? Later, he partnered with a few uncles to mine a few mountains, don't you know?"

Wang Xingxing asked.

"Fucking nouveau riche."

Jiang Pei'an couldn't help but swear.

Jiang Pei'an only knew that Wang Xingxing's father had made a fortune outside, how could he know that the fortune was so outrageous!

Wang Xingxing scratched his head and said:

"That's what other people say about my family."

Jiang Pei'an shook his head, smiled and said:
"I'm here to borrow something from you today, lend me your DV to play for a few days."

"How do you know I have a DV?"

Jiang Pei'an rolled his eyes:

"You don't have a DV, how can you shoot weddings for others, don't talk nonsense, get it quickly."

Wang Xingxing turned around and took out his DV and handed it to Jiang Pei'an, muttering:
"I mean how did you know the word DV?"

"I read it in the book."

Jiang Pei'an played with the DV in his hand, and saw that the bid was still Sofa's.

DV was first released in 1995, but it was called a tape camera at that time.

As the name suggests, when filming and recording, a tape needs to be inserted into the DV.

Wang Xingxing's home is also this kind of tape-type DV, but its tape area is small, and each tape can only record 120 minutes.

"It still has a display screen, not bad."

Seeing Jiang Pei'an skillfully playing with the DV, Wang Xingxing's eyes couldn't be more shocked.

"Is this what it says in the book?"

"Watched it on TV."

After playing with DV for a while, Jiang Pei'an asked:

"What's the price of this machine now?"

"The airframe itself is 8400, and the three batteries are 3600. The total is in the early 1s. It has a [-]% discount. What's the matter, do you want to buy it?"

"Big dog."

Jiang Pei'an cursed again.

What was the concept of 1 yuan in 99?
Compared with later generations, from the perspective of ordinary prices, 1999 yuan in 1 has increased by 5 times now.

From the perspective of housing prices, the 1999 yuan in 1 has risen by more than 10 times.

Including ordinary prices and house prices, in the past 20 years.

Overall prices have risen by at least 8 times.

This means that 1999 yuan in 1 is at least equivalent to 8 yuan today.

Of course, these are approximate estimates, and the data are not accurate.

The key is that in 1999, how many households could have a deposit of 1 yuan?
"Lend me the machine to play for a few days, do you have any tapes? It's not for nothing, I'll buy some tapes."

Jiang Pei'an played with the DV for a while before he realized that this product used an f750 battery.

This is the battery that Sofa's later generations still use in their new SLR.

Sofa deserves to be Sofa!
"Come on, a tape costs 80, how many tapes can you buy?
Anyway, the store is going to be closed, I have a lot of tapes, you can play whatever you want, as long as the machine doesn't break. "

Wang Xingxing said indifferently.

Jiang Pei'an was very moved.

I made up my mind to add a special acknowledgment at the end of each episode of "An Angry Husband Fights a Smart Daughter-in-law".

Thanks: Mr. Wang Xingxing.
