1978 Synthetic Writers

Chapter 88 This man has something special

Now in the Beijing Film Studio, Jiang Xian is just a random person.

You have to know that housing is in short supply right now, and housing at the Beijing Film Studio is even more scarce.

Because the Beijing Film Studio rarely allocated housing, many filmmakers from three generations lived in a small two-bedroom apartment in the old dormitory building.

The second generation of many directors, some older young people, make trouble in the house every day, directly occupy the office, move in and never leave.

Many of the recording buildings at the Beijing Film Studio had their second and third floors converted into dormitory buildings for family members.

And where does Jiang Xian live?

A guest house, or a single room.

At the Beijing Film Studio, only directors and some promising screenwriters are qualified to live in single rooms.

Apart from that, there are rooms for two and rooms for eight. Even famous actors can only stay in rooms for two.

People are always worried about "inequality rather than scarcity".

I'm not living a good life, why should you be living a better life than me?
Many of the people who shared the dormitory with Jiang Xian were jealous of him.

Logically speaking, "Border Town" had just been completed, and as a screenwriter, Jiang Xian had every reason to stay in the Beijing Film Studio for a while.

But these people disliked him, thinking that he was just an adapter, without much contribution and without much technical content.

They can do it if they want.

Since these people couldn't revise the script, they had plenty of time to write letters to the factory leaders.

This matter was suppressed by Shi Wenxin, and it was Ge You who secretly revealed it to Jiang Xian, otherwise he would not have known it.

If he moves out now, he can only move to Renwenshe.

Renwen Press had many authors and poor conditions. Feng Jicai was an author from a few years earlier and occupied a single room. Later comers like Wang Weiguo lived in the large dormitory on the fourth floor of Renwen Press. There were seven or eight beds in one room, and they lived together with writers from all over the world.

Of course, Jiang Xian didn't plan to move away.

A bunch of sour dogs.

If you can't change the script, just get out of here and stop thinking about him.

It’s better not to jump out if you’re smart.

He has yet to lose a single match.

Those who had done something against him would slap themselves in regret when they thought about it in the middle of the night.

In addition, the heroine in the script he wrote was very suitable for Zhu Lin to play.

The screenwriter has to earn his salary anyway, so it is better to write something suitable for Zhu Lin to play than to write other scripts.

Zhu Lin is actually a mediocre celebrity. Although she has appeared in many TV series and movies, the image that leaves the deepest impression on people seems to be the Queen of Women.

This is not to say that this is a bad thing. It is quite rare for an actor to have a classic screen image. Many actresses have been filming for their entire lives, and you may not even know what roles they have played.

However, this situation would have to change if I met Jiang Xian.

Now that the two have established a relationship, and she loves her acting career so much.

Wang Shuo also knows how to support Xu Jinglei.

"I'll support my people!"

Passing through the small alley next to the Changzheng Restaurant, there is a street in front called "Tiger Cave".

There are savings banks, stationery stores, clothing stores and daily necessities stores inside. The west end of Laohudong is connected to the north-south Haidian Street. There are Xinhua Bookstore and China Bookstore which specializes in selling second-hand books, as well as the "Hongyi Photo Studio".

At the end of the street is a comprehensive food mall, where students buy Beijing-style food and gifts for their parents before going home for the holidays.

The people coming and going were all students. Jiang Xian bought a few bottles of Hero brand ink and a few rolls of toilet paper produced by the Beijing-Tianjin Paper Mill. The paper was not only bumpy and lumpy, but was also dyed red.

Carrying the things, I strolled back.

Looking at the photo studio, Jiang Xian felt it necessary to buy a camera and a lead typewriter.

Although the printers at the moment were clumsy and difficult to use, at least they were much easier than handwriting. "Writer Jiang, there's a letter for you." Passing by the message room, the security guard called out cordially.

Ninety percent of the employees at the Beijing Film Studio don’t see this kind of good expression.

Don't underestimate this security guard, the factory manager doesn't even care about him.

All the people at the Beijing Film Studio, including the director, secretary, famous director, and famous actor, are nothing compared to them.

There is only one person worth fearing, the director of the housing allocation committee.

Jiang Xian took the letter and as soon as he saw the address he realized it was the payment invoice from Story Club.

My heart was suddenly filled with passion. "Huo Yuanjia" consists of more than 22 words. I hurriedly opened the envelope and saw the letter first.

It was written by Bian Huawei. He said he didn't expect that he could write popular literature so well. Huo Yuanjia will be serialized in the 11th issue of Story Club. Thanks for his contribution. He and his sister are doing well. Don't worry.
Then came the bill for the royalties, a magnificent 1589 yuan, of which 1112 yuan was his.

"I met a very interesting person today." A few security guards nearby chatted.

They said that today a man dressed in rags came to the Beijing Film Studio with bare feet and no shoes. They thought he was a crazy beggar from somewhere, but it turned out to be Secretary Zhang's son, Zhong Acheng, who had just returned to Beijing due to illness in Xishuangbanna.

"Where are his shoes?"

"I heard that he was taking a nap in the station and his luggage and shoes were taken away."

"Ha ha ha ha."

He carried the things back to the room. After a while, Xiao Chenhong came over and asked him for a few White Rabbit candies, saying that the British film "Death on the Nile" would be shown in the auditorium tonight.

There are generally two types of crime suspense films. In one type, everyone has a motive for committing a crime, but all have alibis. In "Death on the Nile," it's just the opposite, in that everyone has the opportunity to commit the crime.

"Take me to see it."

Jiang Xian was too lazy to take care of the child, so he made up an excuse, "This movie is not suitable for you. It's too scary and not conducive to your healthy physical and mental growth."

“Who’s afraid of this?”

Chen Hong put her hands on her waist and boasted: "I dare to look at even a pair of embroidered shoes. I have also read Manna's Memoirs."

A Pair of Embroidered Shoes is a folk novel and one of the classic manuscripts. It is a pure title party and sounds scary, but it is actually about anti-enemy spies and was later made into a movie.

Jiang Xian also knew that this was the childish thinking described in "Animals Are Dangerous" by Chen Hong. She liked to say the worst about herself in order to show her maturity, and she also liked to piece together and graft other people's experiences onto her own.

"There are five bodies in there."

Chen Hong: “Ah!!!”

Jiang Xian: Cover your ears.

"Brother Jiang, do you want to go to the movies?" Ge You also came.

"Have a look."

In the evening, a family of three tiptoed into the auditorium, the lights were turned off, and it was pitch black all around. A 24-frame-per-second projector projected the movie onto the screen.

"Death on the Nile" was introduced and translated by Shanghai Film Translation Studio.

This movie was later remade once more, but it was nothing like this classic version.

[This is a murder case, and the murderer is among you!]
The movie's dubbing is rhythmic and very characteristic of the era.

Bick not only dubbed the detective Poirot in this movie, but also dubbed Ken Takakura in "The Manhunt". He dubbed all of Ken Takakura's movies, as well as Yuan Gong in "The Magic Book".

Jiang Xian watched and whispered to the small group of people around him:
“This is called the Country Villa School, which means that this murder occurred in a closed environment, and our detective team found the murderer from among several people who were closely related.

There is also a snowstorm villa model, for example, a group of people gathered in a villa, and because of a snowstorm, they were cut off from the outside world. At this time, someone was suddenly killed, and the murderer was among the people in the villa. "

Chen Hong: "I guess the murderer is definitely not the Nile River!"

Zhong Acheng sat not far away and listened quietly, then nodded in approval towards Jiang Xian.

"Okay, okay, you know a lot."
