Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 437 She is worse than Gao Xiaoqin!
This line is very classic.

Many people have an impression of this.

After all, "Cheer Up" was first broadcast during the 98 Spring Festival Gala. At that time, television was not yet well developed. Every year during the Spring Festival, every family would get together and basically watch the Spring Festival Gala.

When this program was broadcasted that year, many audiences, whether in the audience or in front of the screen, laughed out loud.

However, this audience group does not include the laid-off workers in Northeast China at that time.

Overnight.

Factories closed, jobs were lost.

It's a hard life and a struggle to survive.

In the cinema, the guests in front of the screen were watching this scene.

On the screen, the movie's leading actors were also watching this scene.

In the sound of this skit, the protagonist of the movie, Zhang Jie, appeared.

The time was the eighties.

At that time, Zhang Jie was just an ordinary employee. One night, she was almost hurt by a gangster and happened to meet Qu Heng who was passing by.

Qu Heng heroically rescued the beauty, and the two soon fell in love and had a child.

At the beginning, the couple's life was very good. Qu Heng lived a down-to-earth life and supported the family honestly, but soon, Zhang Jie was no longer satisfied with this peaceful and simple life.

She wants to make a big leap forward.

She wants to help her daughter Qu Ting become a talented person.

Especially when his daughter was six years old, she played "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" at someone else's home, which made Zhang Jie overjoyed and thought that his daughter had the talent of a Chinese.

She tried to buy a piano for her daughter, but the family didn't have enough money, so she had to borrow from others.

Until this time, Zhang Jie's desires gradually accumulated in her heart. She wanted a better life and she despised her husband for not being able to make money.

The conflicts between the two continued to erupt in the future.

Sitting in her seat, Da Tiantian watched the performance of Zhang Ziyi on the screen. Her every gesture and movement fully demonstrated her yearning for a luxurious life and her despise for the poor and love for the rich.

Especially when Zhang Jie, played by her, repeatedly expressed his dissatisfaction with his husband and accused him of incompetence, Da Tiantian actually subconsciously became dissatisfied with Zhang Ziyi, as if she was the one being accused.

"It's too strong, really too strong. For a moment, I felt like gritting my teeth and felt very uncomfortable." Da Tiantian whispered in Zhou Mo's ear.

Zhou Mo also sighed.

"It's this disgusting smell. Sister Ziyi's level of control in this area is second to none in the country."

When Zhang Ziyi in the front seat heard this, she pursed her lips and didn't know what to say.

Too yin and yang.

Duan Yihong suddenly said: "I think the scene with Bao Bao is also very good. There is basically no words, and he just smokes from beginning to end, but he smokes out the depressed feeling in an instant."

Zhou Mo heard this and nodded.

"Bao Bao is really strong. In my opinion, his performance in this segment is no less than that of Sister Ziyi."

So far, in the movie, Qu Heng's image is that of a typical honest man.

He doesn't talk much and has a very simple image.

I don't say a lot of sweet words, nor do I do anything romantic.

Whenever he had any good things to do, he would take care of his family first. After being criticized by his family, he would sit alone at the head of the bed in silence, occasionally lighting a cigarette, with smoke curling up, and he would look at his shadow under the light.

Compared with Zhang Ziyi, Wang Baobao's lines are almost negligible.

One party can constantly use lines to express emotions.

The other party can only respond with expressions and eyes.

In this case, there is no doubt that Wang Baobao's performance is more difficult.

But in the rivalry with Zhang Ziyi, Wang Baobao was not at all inferior.

"Look at the Li family, they've even bought a car, and look at you."

silence……

"My daughter will have many things to spend money on in the future. How can this salary be enough?"

smoke……

"Can you please tell me why I should marry you, a xxx?"

It was a series of machine-gun-like words, and everyone in the theater had heard these words to some extent.

And Wang Baobao’s silence makes people seem even more depressing.

Of course, this situation really only occurs in the first half of the film.

At the end of the movie, Qu Heng's image will be reversed.

Da Tiantian suddenly asked, "By the way, I remember you wanted to name Zhang Jie Gao Xiaoqin at first, why did you change it later?"

Zhou Mo shook his head without explaining.

Gao Xiaoqin is naturally the chairman of Shanshui Group in the previous life of "In the Name of People".

The Dafeng Factory case that Gao Xiaoqin reported was actually a modification of the case of Qu's mother Zhang.

When Zhou Mo first started writing the script for "In My Singing", he thought about simply moving Gao Xiaoqin and Dafeng Factory's time over and starting filming directly.

But after thinking about it, I gave up this decision.

In "The Name", Gao Xiaoqin committed a crime, leaving all the workers at the Dafeng Factory with nowhere to go. But at the same time, Gao Xiaoqin was also very miserable in the plot. She was defiled and had multiple miscarriages. These experiences undoubtedly added a bit of tragedy and sympathy to Gao Xiaoqin.

However, Qu's mother, Zhang Jie, had a smooth career ahead of her. She rose rapidly in official career and her power grew day by day.

Putting the blame on Zhang for Gao Xiaoqin's crimes is actually an attempt to whitewash her.

Zhou Mocai has no interest in whitewashing this kind of person through art.

Evil is evil.

Greed is greed.

There is not so much past.

The plot on the screen is still unfolding.

Time quickly came to the 1990s.

In the city where Zhang Jie lives, something happened that will be remembered forever by countless people.

Oshioka.

Countless families and people have lost everything in this trend: money, dignity, and even life.

During this process, another couple came on the scene, Hao Xing, played by Duan Yihong, and the Zhen Fu couple, played by Qin Zhuo, who also lost the basis for their survival in the process.

Surprise, confusion, and fear of the future are intertwined and can deal a huge blow to a person in an instant. They are facing an unprecedented situation.

But no matter what, life must go on.

In order to make a living, the couple tried every possible way to increase their income.

From the beginning, it was a business with no capital, and although the family’s income decreased, it was still enough to get by.

But soon, as more and more people became unemployed, the business could no longer be continued, and the couple began to look for a job.

I work in transportation and do odd jobs, and I only make four or five hundred yuan a month.

The movie "The Piano in a Factory" actually depicts some of the conditions of those days.

Although this group of people are poor, at least they have a skill to make a living.

Although it's not very stable.

But this situation was considered good under the circumstances at that time.

But more:
"How old are you? Why are you still squeezing in here? Your grandson is getting married soon, right?"

"Old men don't want it, women? Women aren't wanted either!"

"If you love to work, do it. If you don't dare to leave, there are plenty of people who can do it."

Quit?

If you don't do it, you won't have any money.

No one can be tough in the face of life.

But soon, even the work could not be continued because there were more and more people.

Finally, it seemed that there was only one road left.

In the cold winter, men in twos and threes on the street were doing nothing, putting their hands in their sleeves, watching the pedestrians coming and going numbly.

Everyone's face seemed to be similar, gloomy and lacking in upgrades.

As he breathed, a faint breath floated out of his mouth and finally disappeared into the air.

Hao Xing drove Zhen Fu to a house.

Hao Xing was waiting at the door.

Zhen Fuze entered the room.

After a while, Zhen Fu came out, got on his bicycle, and the couple left slowly, in silence all the way.

Even the poorest places have rich people.

While countless people are struggling for their lives, some people don't care about it at all.

In 99, Qu Ting was sixteen years old and was going to study abroad at the University of California, Berkeley.

Zhang Jie was extremely supportive of this. He went abroad to study and came back as a sea turtle.

So, she immediately took out a full 200,000 yuan to support her daughter's study abroad.

In that year, the total income of her and her husband was only 20,000 to 30,000 yuan a year.

The following year, Zhang Jie divorced her husband.

Four years later, Zhang Jie was promoted to deputy district mayor with extraordinary power.

During this process, Qu Ting's life abroad was full of feasting and revelry.

Sun, sand, surfboards.

Villas, luxury cars, and playing music.

At the same time, Zhang Jie finally formed his own team, and he waited for the opportunity to make a breakthrough.

After entering the millennium, as Xiagang grew in size, its pace became faster and faster.

Finally, a large state-owned seed farm in Bingcheng entered bankruptcy proceedings.

This enterprise involves more than 400 active employees and more than 100 retired employees.

A total of more than 500 workers depend on this factory for their livelihood.

More than 500 workers mean more than 500 families.

All of their families are waiting for compensation after the venue goes bankrupt.

And Zhang Jie is in control of the bankruptcy process.

The first step of the procedure is to sell it at a low price. The original breeding farm covers an area of ​​more than 1.5 million square kilometers, including the land, factory buildings, and equipment, with a total value of up to 100 to 200 million yuan.

It was this enterprise, after a series of calculations, that was ultimately assessed as a negative asset with liabilities exceeding assets, and was acquired by a company with only 500,000 yuan in capital for more than 60 million yuan.

However, the more than 60 million yuan did not fall into the account of the original breeding farm.

Instead, the money was transferred to an account of Dongjiang Company, the enterprise that acquired the original seed farm.

In other words, not a cent is left, and everything is taken away by the left hand and the right hand.

But it’s just the first step.

The second step of the process is to defraud money.

The venue is in hand, but the venue is actually not important.

It is so difficult to place workers and start production. After working in industry, you may not even know if you can make a profit of 10% a year, and you still have to bear risks.

Even more money can be made by directly embezzling public funds.

So, what is really important is actually the land below the field.

By slightly fabricating the land transfer rights, 350 million yuan in land acquisition funds can be directly obtained. The main feature is convenience and speed.

Of course, the resettlement fee of more than 10 million yuan was naturally never heard of again.

At this point, the process is completed.

At the same time, Qu Ting finally returned from her studies.

She became an instant hit in China thanks to her songs being covered by others.

After becoming famous, I started holding concerts.
