1979 Golden Age

Bai Xianyong is Bai Chongxi's son.

He has a novel "The Exile of the Immortal", which tells that before liberation, four daughters from a large Shanghai family went abroad to study and lived the life of the upper class. The heroine's parents died in the Taiping Wheel accident, and everything changed overnight.

She began to let herself go, wandering around the world, and finally drowned herself in Venice.

Everyone knows about the Taiping Ferry. In 1949, a passenger ship sailing from Shanghai to Taiwan was sunk and nearly a thousand passengers were killed. Many of them were high-ranking party officials, celebrities, and wealthy businessmen.

The owner of this ship is Cai Tianduo, and he has a son named Cai Kangyong.

Later, director Wu also made a bad movie "The Wheel", starring Zhang Ziyi and Huang Xiaoming.

Xie Jin is preparing for "The Exorcist" this year. The movie is called "The Last Noble". He has met Lin Qingxia several times, either in Hong Kong or the United States. Lin Qingxia wanted to play the role, but the news leaked midway, and the Taiwan Information Bureau objected. Xie Jin delayed it again and again in order to wait for her, and during the period he also filmed "Furong Town".

In 1988, Lin Qingxia secretly came to Shanghai to meet Xie Jin.

It was all agreed upon, but when she returned, the plane broke down and she had to rest in the terminal. However, she was recognized by a Hong Kong reporter, and the news spread all over the sky. Taiwan was furious. The most taboo thing about this matter was that she secretly came to the mainland. This was the most unacceptable thing in Taiwan.

In the end, Lin Qingxia gave up this role.

Pan Hong was originally the second female lead, but was asked to play the female lead when the situation was critical. Later, when the crew was filming in the United States, Lin Qingxia went to visit the cast.

Chen Qi has an average impression of "The Last Noble" and is more interested in whether Lin Qingxia can play it.

After Ding Qiao passed away, Xie Jin came to the capital on January 4 and met at the office of Dongfang Company.

He wore a very stylish down jacket, glasses, and spoke in a loud voice. He looked very energetic in his 60s, but his face had the look of someone who has been drinking all year round.

In the 1980s, Xie Jin was the number one director in the country.

Looking back, some of his works are full of limitations of the times, but this is inevitable. There are not many works in the world that can transcend time and space and be read frequently.

Gong Xue had been in contact with Xie Jin at various events and came specially to accompany him.

This was the first time they met Chen Qi. Without delaying the mutual respect between the two, Xie Jin was more curious about this legendary figure in his 20s. He laughed loudly when shaking hands: "Finally I meet you, you are younger than I thought! I am with you You are still an assistant director at this age and have accomplished nothing, but you are nothing compared to bringing glory to the country.”

After exchanging a few pleasantries, everyone took their seats.

Xie Jin started talking about "The Exile of the Immortal" and was very happy. He obviously liked this story very much. Chen Qi listened patiently and took advantage of the gap to interject: "Director Xie, we are not participating in this play. You can just tell us your needs."

"Oh yes, I'm old and confused!"

He patted his head and said with a smile: "I think Lin Qingxia is very suitable for the heroine. She is Taiwanese, grew up in that environment, is familiar with the United States, and has seen the world. This root is right. Can you contact me? she?"

"I have driven away Taiwanese actors. The relationship between Hong Kong and Taiwan is relatively tense now, and only some remnant forces are still resisting. Do you want to meet her, let me hand over the script, or just ask her to agree directly?"

Um?

Xie Jin was startled and said hurriedly: "Of course I want to meet and have a chat before making a decision."

"Then I will find Lin Qingxia as soon as possible and ask her to go to Hong Kong. I will let you know then."

"Okay! Thank you then!"

Xie Jin didn't dare to touch Qiao and turned to look at Gong Xue.

The four female characters in "The Last Noble" are all from Shanghai, and Gong Xue fits the bill very well. Xie Jin wanted to ask her to play one of them, but it would not be good to say it in front of Chen Qi.

This meeting didn't take long.

Both parties were happy people. After talking, they had a meal. Xie Jin was really drunk and even persuaded them to drink. After being refused, he drank by himself. After dinner, he went to call friends.

He had friends all over the country, including overseas, and he was entertained and drank with them wherever he went.

When the couple returned home, Gong Xue took off her down jacket, changed into slippers, and said with a smile: "Look at the way Director Xie looked at me, he clearly intended for me to participate, but he didn't have the nerve to say... stop it!"

She stopped Chen Qi, who was trying to secretly pinch her son with her cold hands, glared at him, and quickly picked up his son: "You usually like to make fun of people, but don't play tricks with children. Children are delicate and sick. what to do?"

"Yes, yes, I'm not right!"

Chen Qi immediately admitted his mistake and continued the previous topic: "Director Xie asked me to help find a female lead, and then I asked you to play a supporting role in front of me. You can't do it alone. He contacted you privately, and you declined politely. Well, I don’t like this movie.”

"What's wrong? You still don't trust Director Xie's skills?"

"A lot of the original work is in the United States. The crew must have gone abroad to film. How much foreign exchange can they bring out? Two to three hundred thousand US dollars is good, but what kind of movie is that enough? A B-level movie?

No matter how talented Director Xie is, he can't do it without money.

And he can definitely take pictures of the sensuality, sensuality, and life of old Shanghai, but do you think he can take pictures of the sensuality and life of the United States? This cannot be understood by just a few trips to the United States. It requires long-term experience in living abroad. "

Chen Qi's hands warmed up, and then he hugged Zhuang Zhuang and kissed her, saying, "I'll just help him get Lin Qingxia done."

He planned this way: Comrade Nicholas is still alive, so it will definitely not work. Then let's shoot first. Nicholas will almost die after the shooting. Then we can release the movie. The key is not to leak the news during the process.

He thought of Sun Wenzhi again.

Sun Wenzhi joined the Communist Party, so it was just right for him to do something.

"Okay, take care, I won't see you off!"

In the director's office of Beijing Film Studio, Hu Qiming saw Feng Li off with a depressed look on his face.

Dongfang Company shamelessly parasitized in the factory, not only did it not leave, but it also upgraded. It is ridiculous for a department-level unit to be stationed in the territory of another department-level unit.

I heard that the employees were very excited. This is called: a good match!

he...tui!

After a good match, will they be closer relatives?

Chen Qi didn't hide his thoughts at all, and Hu Qiming naturally knew about it. He walked around the room, suddenly sat down, and turned out some report materials for the movie version of "Dream of Red Mansions".

When he saw the funding item, his heart twitched again.

The studio took out a loan to film Dream of the Red Chamber. With the money, these people didn’t seem to know how to spend it. As mentioned in the previous article: Rongning Mansion was built with imported wood, experts were invited to give lectures, and each person was given 100 yuan a day...

The movie hasn’t been filmed yet, and a lot of money has been spent.

Hu Qiming originally thought that if there was some money left, he would build a building for the factory, but now it seems that there is not a penny left. The employees made a fuss, and Feng Li came to find him again. He also felt that he had to solve it quickly.

But he didn’t want to take responsibility yet.

He was happy when he gave away the land of Beijing Film Studio, but what about the reckoning later? The shining golden signboard of Beijing Film Studio was embezzled by others in his hands?

Hu Qiming pondered for a long time, and suddenly had an idea, and held a team meeting:

"The adjustment of Dongfang Company has been completed, and the new leader is Feng Li, who just came to me to discuss the building issue. You all know the current situation, and it is not right to drag it out. It still needs to be resolved.

But the matter is of great importance, and I personally dare not make a decision. How about this, we collect opinions from all employees, and if there are more votes in favor, we will sign an agreement!"

"..."

Several deputy factory directors looked at each other, and then thought, this method is really good!

(Today is gone...)
