1978 Synthetic Writers

Chapter 351 Comrade Guoqiang bows and apologizes

"Oh, Comrade Weiguo is here?"

Zhu Lin and Lu Yao greeted each other.

"I'll pour you a pot of hot water."

"Don't bother, don't bother."

Lu Yao quickly stood up and said, "Comrade Zhu Lin, you are pregnant now, please don't worry about me."

After a brief greeting, Zhu Lin sat down and looked at Jiang Xian with some joy in her eyes.

Jiang Xian understood immediately.

"What's wrong? What's going on?"

"I just received a letter from Hong Kong."

Zhu Lin couldn't help but smile, "Shaolin Temple is a big hit in Hong Kong!"

"Shaolin Temple" was released in mainland China first, and was released in Hong Kong a little later than in mainland China.

"Director Zhang just wrote to say that the box office of Shaolin Temple in Hong Kong has exceeded 1000 million Hong Kong dollars!"

"1000 million?!"

Lu Yao couldn't help but open his mouth wide.

This number is too shocking.

It would be several million in RMB.

"Congratulations to you and your wife!" Lu Yao said with a smile.

He knew that the screenwriter of "Shaolin Temple" was Jiang Xian and the leading actress was Zhu Lin, and that it was a film co-produced by the couple.

It can be said that both the couple have made great contributions to the good results achieved in Hong Kong today.

"Director Zhang said in the letter that the first kung fu film from the mainland achieved such good results when it was released in Hong Kong. We have set a good example for mainland films, and future films can continue to be made in this direction," Zhu Lin said excitedly.

Jiang Xian just smiled.

Of course, he would not be surprised by such a result.

The young Jet Li, the pure and kind shepherdess Zhu Lin, the ruthless vulture Ji Chunhua, the amiable Master Yu Hai, the lustful and cruel Wang Renze.
These roles left such a deep impression on him, so how could he fail to conquer the Hong Kong audience?

As "Shaolin Temple" becomes a hit in Hong Kong, another film is also about to be released.

It was the movie "The Garland under the Mountain" produced by Shanghai Film Studio and Yunnan Military Region last year.

The film premiered right at the border, on the front line.

The first broadcast was given to the soldiers.

It was then broadcast in various cinemas in mainland China.

It’s Wang Shuo again.

His duck shop just closed yesterday.

There is no other way. We really can’t continue the business.

I was feeling depressed, so I made an appointment with my bestie to go to the movies together today. We watched the most popular movie recently, "The Garland under the Mountain".

"Where did you get the ticket?"

Dasami became excited when she saw Wang Shuo.

This pretty girl is really pretty, with long legs, slim waist and delicate face. Her name is Shen Xujia and she is now a hottie at Beijing Dance Academy.

"What's the big deal about me getting these two tickets? I tell you, as long as you want, I can get you two plane tickets to the United States."

"Just blow it."

"I blow?"

Wang Shuo said solemnly, "You really don't know who I am."

He was acting so mysterious that Shen Xujia was actually a little curious about him and offered his arm.

"Let's go watch a movie. I heard that this movie is very touching."

"The Garland Under the Mountain? Don't you read novels?"

"I don't have time to read."

"Look at how uneducated you are."

Wang Shuo made a derogatory remark, already in a state of CPU, "Jiang Xian's novel and Xie Jin's movie, how can it not be good? He can't be any worse than either of these two."

"You know so much."

"I still say that. You really don't know who I am."

Wang Shuo lit a cigarette neatly, looking very cool.

Of course, he was thinking about a lot of things in his mind at this moment, all of which were about what would happen after the movie.

He is very good at calculating:
After watching the movie, he first accompanied Shen Xujia to a remote restaurant to have a feast, and then he dawdled for time, anyway, he had to dawdle so long that Shen Xujia could not go back to the dormitory, and finally had to "naturally" sleep at his place.

Of course, this move is mainly aimed at half-hearted submission. If Shen Xujia would rather die than obey, there is nothing we can do about it.

The two of them walked into the theater side by side. It was already full and noisy, with the audience chattering, mostly discussing the movie.

"The novel was so touching back then. I cried so hard that I almost died when I read it."

"That's right. I was listening to a radio drama. Oh, the person in it was so good! I listened to it while washing clothes, and in the end my tears fell into the washing basin."

"."

Shen Xujia had never read the novel and was not very interested in the movie. He just wanted to chat and laugh with Wang Shuo and thought he was a really interesting person.

"Here you go, Arctic Ocean. Can you drink it?"

"Why can't I drink it?"

“It’s ice.”

Shen Xujia hit Wang Shuo's arm and said in a coquettish voice, "What are you planning?"

"What kind of ideas can I have?"

The two chatted in a sweet, affectionate and wet way.
The movie started quickly, and first a passionate trumpet sounded from the speakers.

Shen Xujia frowned, raised his head and glanced at the screen.

The movie shows a group of white-haired men, washing their bodies naked by the river.

"Here, give me a bar of soap!"

"ah!"

Seeing this scene, the female comrades in the theater blushed.

Looking at those strong muscles, I want to look at them but I am too embarrassed to do so.

Shen Xujia was a courageous person, he stared with eyes wide open and looked very excited.

“This is a good movie!”

"Just look back." Wang Shuo said.

The video plays bit by bit.

"Damn it, when the educated youth were sent down to the countryside, they all flocked to the army. Now they feel the hardship has ended and they are eager to go back to the big cities!"

"It's not that I, Lei Zhen, don't care about human feelings, because I have the justice of heaven and the law of the country behind me!"

"After drinking this glass of wine, we'll meet at the Martyrs' Cemetery!"

"."

Shen Xujia laughed at first.

Slowly, the smile disappeared.

After a while, his eyes turned red.

In the end, she could no longer control herself and cried bitterly on Wang Shuo's shoulder.

He was twitching all over like a beaten dog.

"So touching, woooo."

Wang Shuo was too busy to comfort her at this moment.

He himself couldn't stop crying.

"These ungrateful bastards, even a dog wouldn't bite its owner if given 20 billion."

"that is!"

Not only Wang Shuo and Shen Xujia, no one else in the theater could sit still.

Not one of them did not wipe their eyes with their hands.

"Heroes! These comrades are our heroes!"

"It was not easy to film the Liang Sanxi plot."

"Lieutenant Liang is such a good man. If it weren't for his tolerance, Zhao Mengsheng wouldn't have been able to get over it."

"."

Amidst all the praise, there were naturally two mavericks and stubborn people who were still finding fault with everything.

"What the hell is this? This is so unprofessional."

"That's right, why are there still people rolling around on the battlefield?" "Blind shooting!"

"It's better for me to come!"

When watching a movie, there are always such people in the theater, who keep complaining about this and that, and they must make their presence felt.

The two people's discussion was soon heard by an older brother nearby.

The eldest brother stood up angrily and rolled up his sleeves in indignation.

"What's unprofessional about that?"

"."

The two boys looked at each other and said nothing.

The eldest brother pointed at the screen and said, "Look carefully, those Type 62 tanks, Type 170, and Type 56 are all real ones!
There are also tactical action details such as changing magazines with one hand and the three-three style, which are commonly used in the army.

Isn't this professional?
Which major can you tell me?

Have you ever been to the battlefield?
Have you ever served in the military?

Have you ever seen a real gun?
All he did was to blow up a toilet with a cannon, which made his mouth stink, and now he comes here to point fingers?
If you don't understand, get out!"

"That's it, get out!"

There were several spectators nearby who had also listened to the two men "pointing and talking" for a long time. Now when they heard the big brother scolding, they felt so relieved. Now they all stood up to support the big brother who was teaching them how to behave.

"."

Seeing that they had aroused public anger, the two men were afraid of being beaten, so they quickly ran away with their tails between their legs.

Wang Shuo was sitting in a seat in the back row. He just saw someone shouting over there but had no idea what was going on.

At the end of the film, Tong Chao, who played the role of Thor, stood at the foot of the towering green mountains, in front of rows of simply built tombs, saluted with a solemn expression, and sent off Liang Sanxi's mother, Aunt Liang.

The audience spontaneously applauded at this moment. The applause resounded throughout the theater and lingered in the air for a long time without dissipating.

Some were so emotional that they stood up and saluted the screen, trying to express their respect for the movie in this way.

Wang Shuo had forgotten all his evil ideas at this moment.

What was wasting time that prevented Shen Xujia from returning to the dormitory?
I don't care about this anymore.

He just wants to slow down now.

He was still enveloped by a great emotion.

Shen Xujia couldn't cry anymore.

He said that he would definitely read the novel when he got back, and the movie was so touching.

At this time, similar scenes were playing out in many cinemas across the country.

Tickets for "The Garland under the Mountain" are hard to come by!
Not just movies.

The single volume of "The Wreath" became a best-seller again and was sold out in many newspaper outlets.

Even the previous issue of "Popular Movies" was sold out.

"Popular Movies" has the movie poster and movie introduction of "Wreath", as well as some behind-the-scenes stories.

It's like what happened during casting.

Tian Hua, who was originally scheduled to play "Wu Shuang", suddenly developed a back and leg disease and needed to rest for a period of time, so Liu Yansheng replaced him.

Also.

Lu Xi, who was originally scheduled to play "Aunt Liang", also had health problems.

The main reason is that Lu Xi is old, and the filming location of "The Wreath" is on the border front of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. The conditions are very difficult. It often takes one or two days just to travel from one place to another by car. How can an old lady bear this?
Finally, it was Wang Yumei who replaced her.

The movie of “The Garland” lived up to the readers’ expectations and became a hit since its release.

At the same time, after receiving Xie Jin's invitation, Jiang Xian once again took a train south to the border front to attend a party with the actors of the movie "Wreath" and the troops who assisted in the filming.

Jiang Xian was particularly happy when he saw Xie Jin.

"I'll give you 'The Wreath'. I know it won't go wrong!"

"That's fine. As long as I don't disappoint you, I'm afraid you, the original author, will be dissatisfied."

"Satisfied, very satisfied, Director Xie, you must continue to maintain this attitude in "Furong Town"!"

"The factory gave it to me, so of course I will do my best to shoot it, but let's take a vacation first and celebrate today."

The crew of "The Garland" held this party naturally to thank the soldiers for their contributions to the filming of the movie.

You should know that many shots in this movie were taken from real battlefield confrontations.

Jiang Xian was quite looking forward to this party.

But when the party was about to start, the three leading actors of the film, Tang Guoqiang, Lü Xiaohe and He Wei, were not there.

After sending people to look for them for a long time, the three people finally arrived.

"Where have you been?" Xie Jin asked anxiously.

"."

Tang Guoqiang, Lu Xiaohe and He Wei looked at each other.

"Didn't you hear Director Xie asking you questions?"

Tang Guoqiang said, "Comrade Jiang Xian, Director Xie, this is what happened."

It turned out that the three of them were playful, and before the party started, seeing that it was still early, they decided to go out for a walk together. As long as they managed to manage their time well and come back early, it would be fine.

As a result, not long after the three of them went out, they were surrounded by the crowd.

The movie "The Garland under the Mountain" was released these days. Who hasn't seen it? Everyone can recognize it. This is Zhao Mengsheng, this is Liang Sanxi, and that is Jin Kailai.

In addition, Tang Guoqiang was famous and the movie "Little Flower" had already made people remember his face, so he was the most severely surrounded.

Lu Xiaohe and He Wei said that they had finally managed to break out of the crowd, but when they looked back, they saw Tang Guoqiang still trapped in the crowd. Out of loyalty, the two of them "fought back" to rescue Tang Guoqiang.

As a result, I wasted time and didn't arrive when the party started.

Talking about this scene, the three of them couldn't help laughing, and the atmosphere was hilarious.

At this time, Jiang Xian asked in a cold voice.

"Do you know who we are having a party with today?"

Tang Guoqiang, Lu Xiaohe and He Wei were all smiling, but when they heard Jiang Xian's question and saw his grim expression, they stood still in awe.

"Do you know who we are having a party with today?" Jiang Xian asked again.

The three of them looked at each other, and for a moment no one dared to look up. In the end, they could only nod gently.

"know."

Other people at the party also noticed something unusual here and focused their attention here, causing the venue to suddenly become quiet.

All I heard was Jiang Xian's loud question:
"They are warriors who sacrificed their lives and shed their blood. They are respectable and lovable heroes."

"Are you doing this to them?"

After hearing Jiang Xian's words, the three of them felt a little ashamed.

Upon seeing this, the leader of the army came over to persuade them.

"It's okay, it's just a party. Besides, they are still young."

But Jiang Xian still looked angry.

"You three, go to the center of the field and bow and apologize to the warriors and heroes."

"This"

Tang Guoqiang, Lu Xiaohe and He Wei bit their lips, but finally they walked straight to the middle of the field and apologized to the soldiers.

After apologizing, he bent down and bowed again, and didn't dare to stand up for a long time.

Seeing the three men apologize sincerely, the soldiers responded with the most enthusiastic applause.

At this time Jiang Xian said "OK", and the three of them dared to stand up.

Li Jun and Xie Jin watched the whole scene from the side.

Li Jun couldn't help but sigh: "It's amazing. I didn't expect Jiang Xian to have such a high status in the hearts of the three of them. He was so obedient after being trained."

"Don't be fooled by his age," Xie Jin said.

Although Jiang Xian is not very old, his status and influence in the literary and art circles can be said to be no less than that of the director of the Shanghai Film Studio.

With his status, it would be no problem for him to teach Tang Guoqiang and the other three a lesson.

What's more, Tang Guoqiang and the other three had already made mistakes today. Even if Jiang Xian didn't say anything, Xie Jin would have been furious today.

"I was angry just now and spoke a little harshly." The party continued and Jiang Xian walked over to talk to the three people.

"It's okay, it's okay, Comrade Jiang Xian is right." Tang Guoqiang said quickly.

"."

Jiang Xian nodded.

He was dissatisfied with Tang Guoqiang and the other two because of this incident, and he also wanted to take the opportunity to warn them.

Not to mention Lu Xiaohe and He Wei.

Tang Guoqiang, he will inevitably need him in the future.

Then he must be able to suppress this person.
