Era: Starting from Modu Translation Studio

Huang Zhan and Lin Yanni did their homework for this trip to the mainland.

What they yearned for the most was the time they stayed at the Peace Hotel.

As early as the 1920s and 1930s, as soon as Western movies came out, they soon crossed the ocean and arrived at the Huangpu River.

At that time, the Magic City gathered nearly 90% of the country's film factories.

In 1926, when the Peace Hotel on the bank of the Huangpu River was completed, it coincided with the first explosion of film creation in the city.

The Peace Hotel, a beautiful Gothic building, immediately became a holy place for many film and television characters.

From Road Angel by Zhao Dan and Zhou Xuan, The Eternal Wave by Sun Daolin...

To Mei Lanfang, Little Things in a Big City, The Wind Listener, and Untouchable.

Little Jinbao and Gong Li teased the little cock here, and Mr. Bao rented an office here...

Don't tell me you're curious about this,

After listening to Huang Zhan's words, Chen Peisi also revealed her family background:

I also had a very strange feeling when I first walked into this hotel. I used to go to my dad's movie studio when I was a kid. After watching the movie Street Angel there, I started to be interested in the Peace Hotel. .

You don’t know that when my father went to Budapest to visit and study, he stayed at the local Peace Hotel. Because I had such a good impression of the hotel, I named my brother and I Budapest after we came back. Therefore, I have been particularly curious about the Peace Hotel since I was a child.

Huang Zhan: Who is your father?

Chen Peisi: Just an ordinary actor.

His father is not ordinary, he is a veteran actor at Yanjing Film Studio.

Jiang Shan said a new word that Chen Peisi had never heard of, but Huang Zhan from Xiangjiang was no stranger to this word.

It seems that little brother Pace's family background is not simple! Huang Zhan shook the Remy Martin in the wine glass, feeling very fashionable: Now that I have seen the Peace Hotel, how do you feel?

How can I describe it to you... Chen Peisi narrowed her eyes: Every time I walk in, it's like entering another era.

Yes, that's the feeling. Huang Zhan liked this feeling very much: This is the taste I want.

It's a pity, Lin Yanni smiled faintly: Shanghai Bund couldn't be here to film. They should come and see the real Bund. Compared with this, the Shanghai Bund studio is really shabby.

It's not too late, Jiang Shan joked, You haven't aired a few episodes yet, right?

Today's TVB is an example for future Korean and Taiwanese dramas.

TV dramas are filmed and broadcasted at the same time, and scripts are revised while they are broadcasting.

There is no need to review, just upload it directly after editing.

It definitely won't work, Huang Zhan quickly waved his hand: Even if the funds allow, there is no rush. Xiangjiang's work efficiency is very high, and every link is very tight.

Then I definitely won't be able to adapt, Jiang Shan said, I still like the days when I work at sunrise and rest at sunset.

Chen Peisi on the side looked calmly at Comrade Jiangshan, who would not sleep until the moon came up, and would not wake up even when the sun rose.

Really? Lin Yanni didn't believe this: I can't see, right? It's only been a few days since we started contacting you and we met. Haven't you already...

She raised her hand and pointed at the drawings, glass hourglass, and Walkman on the table.

This kind of efficiency, Lin Yanni said with a smile: Even if you give me a team, I can't finish it!

Special circumstances, special treatment, Jiang Shan said with a smile: But... I also have a group of people behind me to help, otherwise I wouldn't be able to complete it.

Don't even think about it, Huang Zhan looked at Lin Yanni: This person's spring demeanor belongs to a company!

Lin Yanni still felt strange: But, this McDonald's-shaped glass bottle... it's not easy to make even if it is customized quickly, right?

It's not easy, not easy at all, Jiang Shan picked up an hourglass: If our city leaders hadn't approved the note, I probably wouldn't have seen this thing until next month.

What? Huang Zhan was confused when he heard this: Did our affairs alarm the government?

Isn't that right? Jiang Shan continued to sow the seeds of friendship: Mr. Huang, you don't know yet, but you are not the only advertising company that has asked our Chunfengdu for help during this period.

Moreover, Chen Peisi helped: Their goals are the same as you.

What, are there other companies looking for you?

Of course, you must have heard of the Huimei advertisement, right?

I guessed it was him, Huang Zhan said excitedly: Then... Jiang Sheng, why did you choose to help me instead of him?

Why else? Of course it's because Uncle Yongyu said hello.

Uncle Yongyu? Huang Zhan understood: Huang Yongyu?

Yes, that's him.

Oh, Huang Zhan smiled again: Then I have to thank Mr. Huang Yongyu.

Jiang Shan chuckled: There will be a chance.

Lin Yanni patted Huang Zhan: We should thank Lao Cha first when we get back.

Having said this, Jiang Shan suddenly remembered something: I heard that you also wrote for Ming Pao back then?

That was a long time ago,

Seeing the curious expression on the other party's face, Lin Yanni gracefully lit up a cigarette:

I did write a paragraph for Lao Cha, but the fee he paid was too low, and many writers had objections. I was young at the time, and as soon as everyone encouraged me, I went directly to him to ask for more money.

Jiang Shan: He agreed?

No way, Lin Yanni, known as the talented girl of Xiangjiang, stepped forward: Lao Cha just sat there and said to me: What are you adding? You love spending money so much, and you will spend it all if you add it. Nothing added.”

Huang Zhan knew this, so he imitated Jin Yong's emphasis and said: How about this, you go out to eat at night, and I'll pay for it!

Lin Yanni stretched out her hand and tapped Huang Zhan's forehead: But after I went there at night, I saw Lao Cha bringing a bunch of friends, including him.

Chen Peisi and Jiang Shan looked like they were watching a show: So, you two are getting along?

This is not the key, Lin Yanni shook her head: The key is that my salary increase failed!

Yes, yes, Jiang Shan quickly retracted his gossipy face: The royalties are the key.

Yishu also started to take action after me, Lin Yanni felt funny when she thought about it:

However, her method is more tactful. In her writer's column, Yishu created a character named Jin Yong, a mean and stingy character.

This method is definitely useless, Jiang Shan concluded immediately: If I were the boss, I would definitely not do this.

Lao Cha didn't take this trick either. Not only was he not angry, he also praised Yi Shu's article for its good writing, which caused many readers to write letters to stop the fight.

None of them can handle Lao Cha, Huang Zhan crossed his arms and smiled, but there is someone who can.

who?

Huang Zhan and Lin Yanni said together: Ni Kuang!

Jiang Shan: Oh, it's him!

Chen Peisi: Who is he?

A writer of science fiction.

Chen Peisi snorted: Then if he comes to us, it will be over.

In a blink of an eye, Jiang Shan and Chen Peisi got together and had fun together!

But he is in Xiangjiang, Lin Yanni looked at them with a slight smile: Do you know how much Ni Kuang's royalties are now?

Jiang Shan and Chen Peisi listened silently.

Three thousand yuan per thousand words. Currently he has more than a dozen writer's columns, Lin Yanni gritted her teeth: There are also many directors looking for him to write scripts. Each script costs at least 20,000 to 3,000 yuan in royalties.

Chen Peisi: ...

He suddenly realized that the two bags of money he helped Jiangshan carry that day were still missing.

However, Jiang Shan obviously didn't care, and even came over to introduce him: This is a ruthless person.

oh?

This man once served as a police officer in Inner Mongolia and participated in land reform. Jiang Shan knew Ni Kuang very well: When he was reclaiming wasteland, he actually tore down a wooden bridge and burned it as firewood in order to keep warm.

Chen Peisi's eyes widened: Oh my God!

In 1957, Ni Kuang made whatever materials he needed and trotted all the way to Xiangjiang.

The first article I wrote after landing was about the land reform and land reclamation.

Unexpectedly, the people of Xiangjiang love to watch these.

In this way, Ni Kuang won a place among the four great talents in Xiangjiang.

At this moment, another Xiangjiang talent, Huang Zhan, looked at Jiangshan meaningfully: Jiangshan, how do you know these things?

Before Jiang Shan could speak, Chen Peisi waved her thumb: My buddy is a reporter, how can I hide this from him?

Jiang Sheng, are you still a reporter?

Huang Zhan understood, and slowly turned his head to look at Lin Yanni: I see, I wonder how he knew so many inside stories.

Lin Yanni really didn't expect it: It's great to be a reporter. The more people you meet, the more friends you will have.

Huang Zhan smiled and said: Now Jiangshan is also our friend.

By the way, Jiang Shan remembered something: There is another reason why I chose to cooperate with you.

What is it?

Huimei's company is not very honest in its work, and the relevant leaders of our city don't want to give them this face.

oh, I get it!

At this moment, Huang Zhan was very happy that he had not said anything bad about the mainland behind his back.

Lin Yanni shook her head: This Huimei is an idiot!

Of course Huimei is not stupid, if it weren't for Jiang Shan's appearance.

The advertising fees for White Rabbit must be in Huimei's pocket.

Huang Zhan changed his mind and asked, But? How did the leaders of Pujiang know about this?

I've recently been helping the Light Industry Bureau produce advertisements, Jiang Shan said, the ones that are now being broadcast in Xiangjiang.

Let me tell you, in fact, Huang Zhan had already seen some clues: How could the two-hand drawing in the Zhonghua Pencil advertisement be the logo of the white rabbit and the white cat? It turns out that they are all owned by the same employer.

That's right, Jiang Shan smiled: Today's city government is my biggest client.

After saying that, Jiang Shan took out two manuscripts from his pocket: Mr. Huang, if it's convenient, can you lend me your hand to publish an article with our Zhonghua brand pencil?

Huang Zhan took it and took a look. It turned out to be a short essay on the development history of Chinese pencils: No problem, I will distribute it for you when I get back.

Then thank you in advance!

Sprinkle some water, Huang Zhan, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, smiled amiably: You can come to me for these little things in the future, but it's a pity that there is no fax between the two places now, otherwise it would be more convenient.

In 1980, the mainland had opened fax lines connecting five cities in Japan.

A few years later, it will be Xiangjiang's turn.

Jiang Sheng, last time you mentioned Disney's stock price on the New York Stock Exchange to me,

Huang Zhan, who feels that he has been in love with Jiang Shan for a long time, is ready to carry out the mutually beneficial friendship to the end: Can you help me analyze the trend of McDonald's stock?

Huh? Jiang Shan was stunned when he heard this: Are you asking me about this?

Huang Zhan has been particularly interested in investment throughout his life.

It's a pity that whether he invests in the stock market or film and television, everything is in vain.

This mysterious luck directly allowed him to live a middle-aged and elderly life with ease.

Once, when he was having the most difficult time making money, director Gao Zhisen came to him with a check to make an appointment for a movie.

After Huang Zhan received the check, he knelt down to Director Gao on the spot and thanked him for helping him during his most difficult time.

I feel like you know the stock market very well, Huang Zhanzhen said. Please help me analyze it. It's obvious that McDonald's profits are rising every year, but why does the stock price keep falling?

I originally thought I had hit the bottom, but I didn’t expect there were 18 floors below.
