Era: Beginning from the Modu Translation Studio

Chapter 406: The Beautiful Northbound Train

Pujiang Dance Theater, dance practice room.

Pan Hong, Gong Xue and Zhang Yu, who had just entered the room, were leaning against a wall to look at the new things.

"Everyone pay attention,"

At this moment, Jiang Shan, who was standing in the front, clapped his hands and said, "Let's go through this section first. Ready, go!"

After a "rise"

The girls in training uniforms danced step by step towards the dozen or so small wooden stools in the middle of the classroom.

At first, no one could see anything, until the actresses stood on one leg on the stool, the three actresses who were watching the fun on the side suddenly felt their eyes light up.

Looking at the dancer in front of them, with her professional dance moves and flexible posture, the three of them quickly and quietly adjusted their stances.

Keep your chest and abdomen straight, relax your shoulders, and tighten your neck...

The landscape at this moment, whether in front of you or behind you, is filled with a dazzling spring scenery.

But at this moment, he was only immersed in directing more than a dozen girls to move forward, backward, left and right among the flowers.

"Come on, draw a dragon with my left hand, and a rainbow with my right hand..."

As Jiangshan's left and right hands changed, the palm-leaf fans in the girls' hands also changed into various shapes.

Looking at the scene in front of her where the actions and words were extremely inconsistent, Pan Hong seemed to see a soft twilight in front of her eyes.

"it's beautiful,"

Gong Xue couldn't help but take a step forward and said softly, "They danced really well!"

"What kind of dance is this?" Pan Hong asked in a low voice, covering her mouth.

"It's not classical dance," Gong Xue said, sitting next to her. "It looks a bit like ballet."

I was analyzing it enthusiastically when suddenly everything in front of me faded away.

"Gone?" Zhang Yu blinked: "Why is it gone all of a sudden? I haven't seen enough!"

The film "A Wonderful Night in the Forbidden City" brought several young actresses together with a young planner.

"Our team was formed only a few days ago,"

Jiang Shan turned around and said with a smile: "If the female comrades hadn't been so hardworking, you wouldn't even be able to see these."

"Sure, Jiangshan,"

The 26-year-old Pan Hong is no longer shy with Jiang Shan: "She is so beautiful at the beginning of the dance. I don't know how beautiful it will be after the dance is choreographed!"

"I like it very much," Gong Xue said with a smile, "I really want to see it sooner."

"It's not that difficult,"

Jiang Shan looked at them with a smile: "In the coming days, the classroom next door will be our training base, so feel free to come and see us when the time comes."

"Didn't you say on the phone that they would also participate in the fashion show?" Pan Hong asked, "Will it not have any impact then?"

"I have sought the opinion of Director Xia," Jiang Shan said, "and also sought the opinions of the performance team. Everyone expressed their willingness to participate."

"In fact, with their temperament and professional skills, they can go on stage directly after a little rehearsal."

Jiang Shan lowered his voice:
"Look, which one of them is not a clothes rack? They are so beautiful just by taking two steps on the stage!"

"What about us?"

Pan Hong, Gong Xue, and Zhang Yu were tied together with their arms around each other's shoulders and looked at the mountain.

"You guys?" Jiang Shan: "Don't even mention it, you guys?"

"Jiang Dao, what are you talking about??"

As they were talking, Zhou Jie and Dong Zhizhi had already walked over.

"I said you guys are pretty," Jiang Shan didn't dare to offend anyone, "I'm the only one left who's ugly."

"No!"

"Our editor-in-chief Jiang is the most beautiful."

"Don't you think so?"

"Yes~~"

The five women were laughing and looking at the beautiful scenery together.

Jiangshan suddenly felt like he had fallen into the Pansidian Cave.

Fortunately, Pan Hong changed the subject in time: "By the way, Zhou Jie, how do you have the address of Jiang Shan's house?"

"I asked Sister Xiaoqing about it," Zhou Jie said with a smile while stretching her legs.
"But it's not easy to call Sister Xiaoqing. After asking around, I finally found out the phone number of their crew in Leshan."

Pan Hong: "Why don't you just come to me?"

"We didn't even know you were in Pujiang."

"That's true."

The purpose of Pan Hong's visit this time was mainly to provide Jiang Chuan with pre-war counseling:
"Speaking of which, Xiaoqing should be back from Leshan by now."

Gong Xue nodded seriously: "She is the actress most likely to win the Hundred Flowers Award this time."

……

A food advertisement brought several actresses together.

After hearing Zhou Jie's words, Jiang Shan looked at her silently.

Many years later, the gracefully dancing Yang Guifei unfortunately suffered from an incurable disease.

On her deathbed, Zhou Jie, who wanted to return to China very much but was unable to support herself, called Liu Xiaoqing in China for help.

When Liu Xiaoqing found out about this, he immediately paid 27 yuan to charter a plane and brought her back to China.

In fact, things like this are not uncommon for Liu Xiaoqing.

The outside world only knows that she loves Jiang Wen, but they don’t know that Liu Xiaoqing is loyal to everyone.

Director Xie Jin had three mentally handicapped children at home, so he started saving money and buying insurance for his three children very early on.

You have to know that directors of that generation didn't have much money.

Foreign media once mocked Xie Jin for wearing the same suit for ten years.

After filming "The Shepherd", Zhu Shimao realized that Director Xie was not having an easy life.

He always remembered this incident, and many years later he sent all of his film remuneration of 100,000 yuan to Director Xie.

The same went for Pan Hong. Knowing Director Xie's family background well, she handed the remuneration to Xie Jin as soon as she received the Xiafei advertising fee.

Compared with them, Liu Xiaoqing does the same thing every year.

Not only did she provide financial support to Xie Jin all year round, but whenever she saw something good, she would send a copy to the Xie family.

Whenever Xie Jin tried to refuse, Liu Xiaoqing would reply: "Who earns more, you or I?"

When it comes to making money, the people Director Xie brings up all make a lot.

For example: Chen Chong.

But Chen Chong is also good, and she often talks loudly about how Director Xie helped her.

But it is rare in the entertainment industry to find someone who can repay his benefactor for his entire life.

Even at Xie Jin's memorial service, Liu Xiaoqing stuffed a bag of cash into Xie Jin's lover's hands.

……

On a green train heading north, Pan Hong, Gong Xue, Zhang Yu, and Jiang Shan were staying together in a soft sleeper car.

Jiangshan was lying on the upper bunk, with a book on his head, listening to a play below.

He really didn't understand why these three women had so much to say?

It’s already so late, but he’s still too excited to lie down.

When buying the tickets, Jiangshan didn't want to stay in the same room with them.

But he insisted on pressing on, saying that he was worried that he was not there and he didn't know who would be arranged to come in.

"I say, ladies and aunts,"

Except for Zhang Yu, everyone in the room was older than him: "We're going to participate in the Hundred Flowers Awards tomorrow after we get off the train. Aren't you nervous at all?"

"Nervous?" Pan Hong was really nervous: "That's why I couldn't sleep!"

"I'm not nervous at all," Gong Xue, who was sleeping in the lower bunk of Jiang Shan, said with a smile, "My name is not on the ballot anyway."

"Me too," Zhang Yu hugged her knees as she sat on the bed. "But I'm really excited to be able to attend such a grand awards ceremony."

"We have to thank our comrade Jiang Shan for this," Gong Xue poked her head out and smiled:
"If it weren't for him, we wouldn't even be able to get through the main door of the Zhengxie Auditorium!"

She was smiling, and the country was smiling too.

"Don't be nervous, everyone,"

At this moment, Jiang Shan sat up and leaned against the head of the bed: "It's just the Hundred Flowers Awards, we can take them one by one. If we can't win this year, we can wait until next year. Anyway, it will be our turn."

……

In 1980, the "Hundred Flowers Awards" was restarted after a 17-year hiatus.

Popular Cinema, which has just resumed publication three months ago, is bustling with activity.

With its third month issue, 160 million votes were released.

It may seem like a lot, but for the nearly 10 billion people in the country, it is not even a splash.

In many places, it is often only a group that can get one vote.

The key point is that the people at this time still attach great importance to this matter.

During that time, you could often see a group of people arguing over the check mark on a ballot.

Many factories with thousands of employees held meetings to discuss and vote on the only copy of the magazine in the factory. This phenomenon directly led to the circulation of "Popular Movies" reaching 900 million copies.

Next year, Zhang Yu will win 140 million votes for "Lush Mountain Love" and take home a well-deserved Hundred Flowers Award.

Pan Hong and Gong Xue will also become double winners of the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards in a few years.

"Oh, right," Pan Hong suddenly suggested, "Since we can't sleep right now, why don't we just get up and try on the skirt we're going to wear tomorrow night."

"Good idea," Zhang Yu had long wanted to see the costumes Jiang Shan prepared for them. "Let me make it clear first, don't snatch them from me later!"

Gong Xue: "Why?"

"Because I'm the youngest!"

"Don't be like that," Gong Xue said, "I said I'm the greatest!"

After a few seconds of jingling, three pairs of beautiful eyes looked at Jiangshan together.

"Why are you all looking at me?"

Jiang Shan, holding a book in his hand, looked at the handsome man and said, "Don't worry, I won't compete with you for it."

"Stop it!"

"Why don't you take the initiative now?"

A minute later, Jiangshan was pressed down on a chair in the aisle amidst laughter.

A few minutes later, Zhang Yu's voice came from the room:
"Hey, why is this exactly the same as the clothes I wore on the set?"

……

In the dormitory building of Yanjing Film Studio, Liu Xiaoqing, who rushed back from Leshan, Sichuan to participate in the "Hundred Flowers Awards", felt pain all over his body.

"It's just a divorce, what's the big deal?"

Chen Peisi in the room immediately sent warmth: "Didn't you listen to what Sisi said? These are nothing in a foreign country."

"Go away," Liu Xiaoqing rubbed his shoulders, "I'm not here for this."

There have been many different rumors about Liu Xiaoqing in the outside world.

But Jiangshan was not prepared to ask about other people's troubles.

Not to mention being in the entertainment industry, even outside of it there are a lot of unstable elements.

Chen Peisi looked at the other person carefully: "Then why do you look so worried?"

"It hurts."

It was the first martial arts film after the reform and opening up. The director was inexperienced and the actors were even less experienced.

When filming, it's just a good beating.

Fortunately, Liu Xiaoqing is a hard-working person.

If I had replaced any other actress, I really don’t know if she could have lasted until the end.

"There is one more thing,"

Liu Xiaoqing gulped down a mouthful of cold water: "I don't have any suitable clothes at the moment."

Chen Peisi hit the nail on the head: "Is it lost at home and can't be brought out?"

Liu Xiaoqing rolled his eyes at him and said, "Just now when I went to the guesthouse to see Chen Chong, I saw that she brought a lot of clothes."

"That's perfect, why don't you just borrow one from her?"

"I borrowed it," Liu Xiaoqing said, "but as soon as I put it on, she wanted to go back."

"why?"

"How would I know."

Many years later, Chen Chong said that what she could not stand the most when she was young and ignorant was: Why does Liu Xiaoqing dress better than me!

Three bangs
There was a knock on the dormitory door.

Then, a familiar voice came from outside the door: "Does Liu Xiaoqing live here?"

"ah,"

Liu Xiaoqing and Chen Peisi looked at each other in surprise and said, "It's Jiangshan."

Chen Peisi opened the door and said, "The door is not locked. Please come in."

When I opened the door and looked out, all the beauties in the door frame were smiling at me.

"Oh, you guys came together."

"That's great," Chen Peisi said, "I miss you all so much."

The four people walked into Liu Xiaoqing's small room one by one.

The first thing Pan Hong did when she entered the room was to dump a large bag of clothes on the bed.

"Xiaoqing, look,"

She turned around and looked at Liu Xiaoqing: "What did Jiangshan bring you?"

"..."

Liu Xiaoqing was so surprised that she couldn't speak. Looking at the colorful clothes on the bed, she remembered what Jiang Shan had said to her:

"My battle suit is here!"

……

May 1980, 5, Zhengxie Auditorium.

The third Hundred Flowers Awards for Films, co-organized by China Film Group and Popular Cinema, was grandly held in Yanjing.

The scene was filled with loud gongs and drums and waving red flags.

A large number of well-known filmmakers from all walks of life and all over the country sat there.

Director Wang Fulin, who was sitting next to station director Zhou Yeming, saw Jiang Shan as soon as he sat down.

"Zhou Tai," Wang Fulin raised his arm and poked Zhou Yeming: "Look who that is?"

When Zhou Yeming turned around, he saw a sunny young man leading four attractive actresses walking towards him.

At this moment, not only the two of them, but also the comrades around them were looking over here.

Although there were quite a few female artists present who were dressed in advanced attire.

But compared with the four behind Jiangshan, he is obviously not as good as others.

Speaking of which, these four really didn't dare to jump too much.

I only chose 26 pieces of relatively light patterns out of the 4 pieces of clothing that Jiangshan brought.

"Here,"

Wang Fulin waved his hand: "Xiao Jiang, look over here."

"Here comes Director Wang,"

Jiang Shan was delighted when he saw Wang Fulin, and waved vigorously: "Oh, Zhou Tai is here too!"

Zhou Yeming silently glanced at Pan Hong, Liu Xiaoqing, Gong Xue and Zhang Yu behind Jiang Shan.

"Don't say anything yet," Zhou Yeming whispered to Wang Fulin:
"Maybe tonight's Hundred Flowers Award will go to one of Xiao Jiang's friends."

After he reminded him, Wang Fulin finally noticed Comrade Chen Peisi who was with him.

"Well, there was a lot of news about Chen Peisi recently."

"They are all positive news!"

……

After a few rounds of warm applause, the filmmakers on and off the stage were very excited.

Jiangshan, who was taking photos all the time, clearly felt that a new movie curtain was about to begin.

After a while, the exciting moment finally arrived.

"The films that won the Best Feature Film Award at the 3rd Hundred Flowers Awards are "Little Flower" and "Tears".
Best Director: Xie Tian, ​​"Sweet Business"

Best Actor: Li Rentang, Best Actress: Chen Chong..."

The commendation meetings of this era were different from the ointment squeezing meetings of later generations.

The names were called out one by one on the stage, and those in the audience who heard their names stood up and went on stage.

After shaking hands with the leaders one by one and receiving the trophy, they stood in a row and accepted the applause from the audience.

At this moment, when the list of best actresses was announced, many people in the audience turned their eyes to Liu Xiaoqing.

Not to mention them, even Liu Xiaoqing himself thought that he would be the winner.

After all, he had four movies on the ballot.

Liu Xiaoqing was trying hard to smile and pinch his hands.

Comrade Chen Peisi pinched her hands together and said: "Jiangshan."

"what?"

"I'm so nervous I can't stand it."

"What are you afraid of? If it doesn't work this year, there's always tomorrow..."

Before he finished speaking, the voice on the stage rang out again.

"Best Supporting Actor: Chen Peisi, Best Supporting Actress: Liu Xiaoqing..."

Huh,
Jiang Shan directly pushed Chen Peisi up and said, "Go ahead and take your big prize!"

In May 1980, the vacant Best Supporting Actor award at the 5rd Hundred Flowers Awards was finally filled by Chen Peisi!
