1978 Synthetic Writers

Chapter 23 I don't want a radio either
The literature department of Beijing Film Studio has always been regarded as a place to waste life.

The scripts produced by the veteran editors of the literature department are all famous, but they themselves remain unknown throughout their lives.

The words are divided into two parts.

The literature club has a star mom and a star dad.

Chen Ai'ge and Ge You's mother, and Jiang Shan's father, all worked here.

This Shi Wenxin is Ge You's mother.

"The Literature Department of Beijing Film Studio?"

Jiang Xian was offline for several seconds before he remembered to say hello, "Hello, Teacher Shi, I am Jiang Xian."

He was wondering in his heart, the Beijing Film Studio came to him, could it be that they were going to remake "The Chess King" into a movie?
This is too fast!

Shi Wenxin glanced at him.

This young man is obviously about the same age as her son, how come he can write such a good novel while her son can only feed pigs!
Comparing yourself to others will make you angry to death.

"Hello, Jiang Xian."

Shi Wenxin shook hands with him and said, "Many of our old editors and screenwriters at Beijing Film Studio have read your book The Chess King. It is so fascinating and well written, and it has the context of novels from the Song and Ming dynasties."

Jiang Xian's heart was beating fast and he couldn't listen to the praise at all, so he went straight to the point and asked.

"You're looking for me?"

Shi Wenxin smiled and said, "Beijing Film Studio has contacted Beijing Literature and Art some time ago. I came here this time to ask for your consent to make your "Chess King" into a movie.
Radio drama."

"."

What a satisfying O. Henry ending.

Some time ago, Changkui Film Studio produced a radio drama called "Scars", which became popular all over the country in a short time.

Seeing that Changchun Film Studio, its older brother, had achieved new success, Beijing Film Studio, as its younger brother, became jealous and was unwilling to fall behind.

I immediately set my eyes on Jiang Xian’s book “The Chess King”.

When Jiang Xian heard that the drama was going to be made into a radio drama, he didn't react much and even felt a little disappointed.

It's just a small fight, boring.

Rao Yuemei was much more excited than him. She was thinking about beating drums and gongs and going door to door to inform the neighbors.

That’s the Beijing Film Studio!
Beijing Film Studio is going to film something her son wrote!

Radio drama? That’s even better!

These days radio is much more popular than television.

Jiang Xian did not reply to Shi Wenxin immediately.

The next day, he ran back to "Beijing Literature and Art" to ask Zhang Dening.

People from Changchun Film Studio have been guarding here for several days.

Although Changchun Film Studio is located in Northeast China, at this moment, Northeast China is still emitting the last rays of sunshine, and Changchun Film Studio is also the top film studio leading the country.

"The White-Haired Girl", "Heroic Sons and Daughters", "The Guest on the Iceberg", "The Founding Ceremony of the Nation". These well-known classic works are all from Changchun Film Studio.

Zhang Dening told Jiang Xian that the Shanghai Film Studio actually also wanted to get involved in the radio drama business, but they only made a phone call and it was obvious that they were not as sincere as the Beijing Film Studio and the Changchun Film Studio.

Jiang Xian shuddered.

It was snatched up by the top three companies at the same time?
It’s quite a sense of accomplishment!
Radio dramas have been around for a long time. The first radio drama in New China was "Ten Thousand Plywood", which told the story of railway workers repairing railways to support national construction.

Later, "Pan Xiuzhi", "Little People's Book" and "Harbin Night" were published one after another, with a lot of content about Harbin. Later, "Harbin under the Night" was also published, a storytelling version, and the storyteller was Wang Gang.

After Buzz Buzz Buzz, radio dramas began to flourish. "Erquan Yingyue", "Window", "Scars", "Death Light on Coral Island" and "The Necklace" all received very strong responses after they were broadcast, and later received strong support from dramatist Cao Yu and the Dramatists Association.

A few days later, Shi Wenxin found Jiang Xian again.

She came at mealtime and there were more people coming than last time.

"Teacher Xiao Jiang, it's already noon, how about we have a quick meal together and chat while we eat?" "Then I'll respectfully obey you."

I chose an ordinary state-owned restaurant.

There are only two of us, so there is no need to be extravagant and go to Donglaishun or Cuihualou.

We ordered four dishes, stir-fried three kinds of vegetables, mixed jellyfish, pea yellow, and spinach and egg soup.

Shi Wenxin quietly revealed to Jiang Xian that China Radio could not produce "The Chess King".

Jiang Xian also understood. After all, it contained the word "ZhongX", and a work of this scale clearly crossed the red line.

He picked up a piece of kidney with chopsticks. It was just the right amount of saltiness and tasted more delicious the more he chewed it.

"Teacher Shi, who is the current director of the Beijing Film Studio?"

"Director Wang Yang."

"It's Director Wang again."

In the Beijing Film Studio, there are two people who cannot be erased: one is Wang Yang, and the other is Cui Wei.

The former is an authentic film producer, and the latter is a talented director.

By the way, the person who succeeded Wang Yang was Hu Qiming, the third factory director. After retirement, he started practicing Q Gong, and it was said that he had reached a certain level and could use his Qi to heal people.

Shi Wenxin mentioned the famous directors of Beijing Film Studio again, including Xie Tieli, the leader of the third generation of directors, Wu Zhaoti, the director of "Heroic Sons and Daughters", and Chen Huaikai, the "underground director" of Beijing Film Studio.
The reason why Chen Huaikai was respected as the underground factory director was that at that time almost all directors would invite him to watch sample films and go to the editing room to give advice on the rough films.

"Teacher Jiang, although our project is not big, we will definitely not be perfunctory. The factory still values ​​​​"Chess King"

After arguing for a long time, the two finally got to the point.

Beijing Film Studio is willing to pay 200 yuan in royalties.

This was something Jiang Xian had never expected.

You should know that a few years later, the crew of "Ordinary World" of a major TV station only paid Lu Yao 680 yuan in copyright compensation.

He nodded immediately.

"Teacher Shi, I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation!"

"I hope that after our drama is finished, Mr. Jiang, you can give us more opinions and suggestions."

"No problem, no problem." Jiang Xian shook hands with her enthusiastically. "I believe in the strength of Beijing Film Studio. Besides, I don't have a radio at home."

Shi Wenxin frowned.

Are you thinking the copyright fee is too low?
"Teacher Jiang, how about the Beijing Film Studio equip you with a Peony brand semiconductor radio?" she asked tentatively.

The Peony brand radio is a product of the Beijing Radio Factory. Prices vary, with the cheapest semiconductor radio costing just over 30 yuan, which is roughly one month's salary for a worker.

Shi Wenxin said helplessly: "This is the only power I have. Please don't make it difficult for me. If it doesn't work, I will go back and discuss it with the leaders."

"This..." Jiang Xian didn't know how to explain.

He really didn't mean that!
However, there is an old Chinese saying: He who knows the times is a hero.

It would be embarrassing for him to lose face for Teacher Shi, right?
"Teacher Shi, I'll use water instead of wine to wish you a smooth filming at the Beijing Film Studio!"

The two chatted for a few more minutes before saying goodbye to each other.

Jiang Xian packed up the food and took it back before finishing it.

He was in a pretty good mood.

I got a free meal, earned an extra 200 yuan, and also earned a radio from the Beijing Film Studio.

“This is the commercial value behind literary works.”

Jiang Xian couldn't help but sigh, and began to feel itchy about his unsynthesized work.

At the same time, "Beijing Literature and Art" also brought him a new piece of news.
