1980 My Entertainment Era

Chapter 136 Bad News

Xia Tian: Is full real-scene shooting unprecedented and unparalleled?

It's unprecedented, right? But it's definitely not the case that there will be no successors - are you looking down on Hengdian? ! It's all real scenes, okay~
But when Li Heizi said: I'm going to the Forbidden City to film when I return to Beijing, and I'll call Xia Tian then... Xia Tian was completely out of temper.

Damn, what a great treatment!

A large crew consisting of more than 60 units across the country provided support for the film.

The rings and necklace worn by Liu Xiaoqing, the phoenix chair she sat on, the accessories on Ah Hui's clothes, and the fan he used were all used by Cixi and Xianfeng in the past!

Even when filming the scene of "Emperor Tongzhi ascending the throne", the real imperial seal was taken out!

This is the first movie shot in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, also known as the Throne Room!
But when the document on protecting cultural relics came down in 86, it was no longer allowed.

I'm afraid I won't have a chance to take a photo...

Xia Tian joined the crew of "The Curtain" to see the differences between filming in Hong Kong and inland China.

They are indeed more professional, or have formed fixed routines and processes, and everyone does their job in a very rhythmic way.

And it was shot very quickly!

Director Li is impatient and he believes in being swift and decisive.

Xia Tian saw with his own eyes that he shot forty or fifty shots in just one day!
Compared to the crew of "The Transformation", this is extremely fast!

The crew of "The Transformation" has arrived in the inland area very quickly.

After all, we cherish film here, and every shot is carefully crafted and will not be easily missed, so it is normal to be slow.

We have all worked for the government and what we pursue is art, so naturally we strive for excellence!
But it’s not like that in Hong Kong. People there focus on efficiency, return on capital and speed.

This fast-paced shooting style made it difficult for mainland actors who were working with Director Li for the first time to adapt. They felt like they were just rushing around!
Even the makeup and changing of costumes were very busy, just like a stage performance.

I did see a lot of different things in the summer, which was very inspiring.

Moreover, he and Director Li would chat whenever they had time. Most of the time, they talked about movies. Director Li talked more, while Xia Tian listened more.

Sometimes, when we talked about the late Qing Dynasty, Xia Tian talked more.

Later, I heard and saw all kinds of unofficial historical rumors, fresh jokes and special interpretations on the Internet.

Director Li is always surprised and delighted every time.

I even thought about changing the script!

Xia Tian quickly held him down. Even the tall and strong Director Li couldn't move in Xia Tian's hands.

Director Li often changes his mind. He would change the decision he just made within an hour.

The most he did was to change one decision eight times in one day, leaving the crew at a loss.

If the production crew changes again, they’re going to vomit!

"Please don't change it! The current script is already perfect and very self-consistent!"

"One movie cannot contain a hundred years of the late Qing Dynasty. It is a taboo to be too ambitious!"

Director Li had no choice but to give up, "I know, otherwise I wouldn't have filmed a movie called "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace", but I want to show this past history to people today..."

"If one is not enough, then two! If two are not enough, then three! I will continue to shoot!"

Xia Tian: Huh? So you kept filming Qing Dynasty dramas because I boasted to you?
Can you please not have such a strong sense of mission?
You think it is necessary to let the current audience know about the past, but the audience may not like to watch it, they only watch interesting things, and they will scold...

After staying in the crew for three days, Xia Tian returned to Yanjing.

When he returned to Yanjing, Xia Tian received a letter from Li Chengru saying that Zhang Guangbei had been admitted to the Central Academy of Drama.

Zhao Baogang was full of envy and jealousy: "You said, this guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes is obviously not a good person. How did he get selected?"

Chu Yunfei has American equipment, so you should just focus on the non-professional route.

It's a bit difficult to rely on Zhao Baogang to pass the exam.

But there is another way...

Zhang Guangbei was admitted to the Central Academy of Drama. I went to his house in the summer to congratulate him and gave him two bottles of wine.

Zhang Guangbei and Xia Tian had a meal together and they looked very happy.

They are about to start school, and in the future they will be professional students graduated from the Central Academy of Drama.

Xia Tian knew that this year they also had Ni Dahong, who was also a veteran actor.
In addition to Zhang Guangbei, other classmates in the amateur class who had good news included Li Qinqin and Li Qiang, a handsome young man and beautiful girl from the hospital, who were admitted to Yandian University.

Well, there is a bright future.
Within two days, the good news turned into bad news.

Li Qinqin had a boyfriend before, but they broke up.

I don’t know when it was split, and I’m not sure if it was the first sword to come ashore.

But just when she passed the exam, her ex-boyfriend took revenge by leaking a photo of her in a swimsuit.

As we all know, the current public opinion environment is that if you wear it and take photos in private, it’s fine. But if you post it publicly, it’s not okay. As a result, the school didn’t accept it.

At that time, she had already joined a film crew and played a supporting role in "Our Fields" directed by Xie Fei.

As a result, because of her ex-boyfriend's affairs, the role was cancelled, and the person who replaced her was called Lin Fangbing...

Li Qiang also passed all three tests of Yandian University. However, he was rejected because a senior teacher objected that Li Qiang looked like an amateur overseas Chinese.

No one knows whether it was because of the record of being expelled from the art troupe before.

When the news from the two of them came, Zhao Baogang felt very balanced.

"Damn, even someone this pretty has bad times, but I think I'm fine!"

……

August 8th, school starts, second year of high school.

This is summer and their last year of high school!

The first thing to do when school starts is to distribute new textbooks. At that time, textbooks are still very valuable, so everyone takes out old newspapers, calendars, etc. from their schoolbags to wrap the books to prevent wear and tear.

After all, sometimes this book needs to be passed on to several younger brothers and sisters.

Some classmates are very clever and can make very beautiful dumplings. As for Dachun, he gave up since he is an only child anyway.

After wrapping their books, many students would ask Xia Tian to help them write or draw a few words.

In the summer, I would take out my brush and draw simple ink paintings or write some words. The style was always cartoon animals with cross-eyed and silly looks.

(This kind of ~)

On the first day of school, the principal of course had to give a speech, and then the class teacher Miao Wanqiu would give a speech.

Lao Miao was very serious: "This is your last year! Your future fate depends on this last year! As long as you don't die from studying, study until you die!!!"

Wang Hai complained to Dachun quietly: "Look at Lao Miao, he looks like he wants to eat people~"

Dachun was happy, "Ha ha ha ~"

When Wang Hai heard this, he quickly lowered his head.

While Lao Miao was giving a lecture, he suddenly heard ducks quacking from the ground. He lowered his head and said, "Dachun, go stand at the back."

The ducks' quacking stopped abruptly, and Dachun's expression changed as unpredictably as the clouds in the sky.

He slowly stood up and stood next to his seat - he was in the last row.

However, the smile will not disappear, it will only transfer to other students' faces~
As soon as the school started, you made everyone laugh so hard that they could hardly hold back their laughter. It has to be you, Dachun!

By September, Xia had seen very dense and informative news reports.

Both newspapers and television broadcast news very intensively.

First of all, the government clearly stipulates that important news should be released first in the "News Broadcast". This confirms the importance of the 7 o'clock TV every day~
Then there is the Twelve Conference that is currently being held, and news about it is reported in the newspapers every day.

People like Xia Tian who come from the future have a lot of imagination when they see every piece of news.

For example, the chief architect first proposed the new concept of "building a distinctive socialist society."

For example, the seventh round of disarmament that began in September last year was mentioned.

Ye Jing mentioned this when he was demobilized, so they must have received the news in advance.

Yes, such a big thing certainly cannot be accomplished overnight... More than 51 people from Railway B and Infrastructure Engineering B were collectively transferred to other jobs.

The higher-ups also demanded that the organization be streamlined to make the cadres more revolutionary, younger, more knowledgeable and more professional.

The number of institutions of the National Academy of Sciences will be reduced and merged from the current 98 to 52.

If these people don't feel much about the above changes in summer, then everyone must be familiar with the following Z strategy.

Camel Xiangzi: New Edition

Xiangzi: Let’s not buy a car!

Huniu: We don’t want to have babies anymore!

Let’s live a few days that truly belong to ourselves. It doesn’t matter if we don’t have money. As long as we have food to eat, we don’t need anything else!

Just when Xia Tian was joking with his father, saying, "It's impossible for you to have children now."

A piece of bad news came, Old Man Ma is gone!
