1978: Female educated youth, don’t want an illiterate husband

Chapter 270 Preparations before departure, Xuemin, are you going to shoot the Wrangler? (Request full order)
"Uh, Xuemin, you still have to go to Yanying Studio to get your letter of introduction stamped!"

The next day, Cheng Xuemin went to Yenching University to get a letter of introduction. The department head, Lao Yang, was responsible for issuing it.

But I heard that Cheng Xuemin, who had just finished the college entrance examination, was going to the Northwest to make a movie?

They had never heard of this before.

At that moment, Old Yang was very shocked, and at the same time, he reminded Cheng Xuemin that this letter of introduction from Yan University alone might not be enough.

Remind him that it would be better to go to Yanying Studio and ask the staff there to help change the stamp.

"That's true. I'll go to Yanying Studio later!"

"In fact, the Yan Film Studio has been pushing me hard recently, and the crew is waiting for me!"

Cheng Xuemin thought that a letter of introduction from his unit would be enough to buy a train ticket, so he went straight to the residence of his brother-in-law Xie Jin and his crew when he arrived. He could choose to get a letter of introduction with other contents or not.

But since Director Yang has reminded him of this, Cheng Xuemin plans to go to Yanying Studio and ask Old Teng there to sign and stamp the document.

By the way, I also went to the inner city to visit my father-in-law's Foreign Language Bureau.

After dinner yesterday, my father-in-law told me that the foreign language manuscript that I submitted to American Playboy last month had received the foreign currency royalties, and asked Cheng Xuemin to take time to go over there.

After receiving the foreign currency royalties, Cheng Xuemin still had to go to the train station to book his departure train ticket as early as possible.

So, since he had to go to several places today, Cheng Xuemin did not stay long with Director Yang of Yan University.

After getting the letter of introduction and work certificate issued by Director Yang, he rushed to Yanying Factory without stopping and found Lao Teng, who had been promoted to deputy director.

"Xuemin! I haven't seen you for a while!"

"How is it? What was your estimate yesterday?"

Old Teng poured Cheng Xuemin a glass of boiled water and politely asked him how many points he estimated.

As for the college entrance examination, everyone knows that Cheng Xuemin has not joined the crew because he is going to take the college entrance examination this year.

"Teacher Teng, the estimate is not bad. I have already filled out the application form for our Yenching University!"

Cheng Xuemin happily took a big sip of boiled water. This weather was really not suitable for human beings. It was too hot.

There is really no other way, otherwise who would be willing to run outside in such hot weather!

and!

There is not even an electric fan in Mr. Teng's office at Yanying Film Studio. He relies entirely on the palm-leaf fan in his hand to keep out the heat. It is clear that the country's light industry really needs to speed up!

"Yenching University! Xuemin, you are awesome!"

"Doesn't this mean that you, Xuemin, are not only a specially-appointed lecturer at Yenching University, but also a student at Yenching University. You are both a teacher and a student. Xuemin, you have set a precedent for Yenching University, right?"

After hearing what Cheng Xuemin said, Old Teng couldn't help but laugh.

This kid is really arrogant, otherwise he would have to wait for him and would not want anyone else to thank him.

Even though we are now in the vast northwest where the sky is covered with yellow sand, we will wait for this guy until our death.

to be frank!
This kid does have an indescribable personal charm. Anyway, Old Teng also likes dealing with this kid.

"No, no, Teacher Teng, you are joking!"

Cheng Xuemin smiled bitterly, then became concerned about the situation on the crew side and asked, "Teacher Teng, how is the progress of Director Xie now?"

"I plan to go directly to the train station to book a train ticket after you get the letter of introduction, and I'll be leaving anytime in the next two days!"

"Ready to leave?!" Old Teng was so happy to hear that. He signed Cheng Xuemin's letter of introduction on the spot and stamped it with the seal of Yanying Studio. He then said, "Xuemin, you don't have to worry about the train ticket. I'll ask the person in charge of the studio to book it for you. I'll have someone send it to your home when the time comes."

"Teacher Teng, isn't this too much trouble? I'll just stop by the train station later!"

Cheng Xuemin felt a little embarrassed after hearing this. It was not necessary to trouble Yanying Studio to help book a train ticket.

“No trouble, no trouble!” Old Teng waved his hands repeatedly, and explained to Cheng Xuemin, “Xuemin, don’t bother yourself first. It takes three days and three nights to go to the Northwest by train!”

"If you go and book the train ticket yourself, you might only get a hard seat! Anyway, I'll use some connections in the factory to try to book you a hard sleeper!"

"The journey is so tiring. Xuemin, you have to rest up enough. Once you get there, you have to join the filming crew right away!"

When Cheng Xuemin heard Lao Teng say that he could help him get a hard sleeper directly, what else could he say?

I expressed my gratitude on the spot.

Otherwise, Cheng Xuemin would have to book the ticket himself. Given his current level of treatment, he was not qualified to ride in a hard sleeper.

If Cheng Xuemin wants to travel in a hard sleeper, he is currently two levels short. Even his mother-in-law, Teacher Gu, is barely qualified to travel in a hard sleeper.

"As for Old Xie, the conditions are indeed a bit difficult, but fortunately the filming tasks are similar. We are just waiting for you, the protagonist, to come in and reshoot the subsequent scenes!"

"Anyway, if you, Xuemin, leave soon, given the speed of Old Xie's hand, he should be able to dare to release it during the National Day holiday. In fact, it is not much different from the original plan."

Xie Jin was in charge of directing the film, and the release date was still up to the producer, Yan Film Studio. According to the original plan, it was to be released during the National Day celebrations of the 30th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China this year.

Just wait for Cheng Xuemin, who was left alone. After hearing this, Cheng Xuemin felt embarrassed again and again.

It was noon, and Old Teng insisted on arranging lunch for Cheng Xuemin, and he had some exchanges with many veteran artists from Yanying Studio.

Maybe it’s because the weather is too hot in the summer, Yanying Studio doesn’t have many outsourced projects, and the veteran artists are basically all in Yanjing, in the factory.

So this time Cheng Xuemin was able to communicate with many young and familiar veteran artists, not to mention Siqin Gaowa.

This time I also met Mr. Tang, the male lead of Cheng Xuemin's "The Garland under the Mountain". Now Mr. Tang is the handsome and handsome boy and the beautiful girl of Yanying Studio.

Speaking of "The Garland under the Mountain", the General Political Department has been reviewing it for a month, and there is still no news.

It can be seen that the review procedures for customized manuscripts are indeed quite complicated, but Cheng Xuemin is not too worried about the manuscripts.

As the saying goes, no news is the best news.

Otherwise, if the manuscript fails to pass the review and needs to be sent back for revision, the General Political Department should have given feedback long ago, instead of having no news at all like now.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that Cheng Xuemin is too much of a homebody and doesn't go to the General Political Department often.

If it were any other writer, he or she would have to stay at the General Political Department every day to accompany the leaders in reviewing the manuscripts. If there were any mistakes that needed to be revised, he or she would have to make impromptu revisions on the spot in front of the leaders.

Don't disbelieve it.

The original author of "The Garland under the Mountain" spent every day at the General Political Department, revising the manuscript on the spot before it was finally completed.

Cheng Xuemin directly paid tribute to the final draft, so the scale of the draft should not be too different. Even if there are some differences, Cheng Xuemin needs to revise the draft to show that the superiors really reviewed it seriously, but we have to wait until Cheng Xuemin returns from the Northwest.

Not to mention "The Garland under the Mountain".

In addition to Teacher Tang, I also met Teacher Li Xuejian, Zhu Shimao, Chen Peisi, Ni Dahong and many more!
In addition to these leading actors whose fortunes Cheng Xuemin could recognize, there were also Liu Xiaoqing, Li Xiuming, Xu Min, Zhang Jinling and others who were among the six golden flowers of Yanying Studio, who were as famous as Zhu Lin.

of course!

In his previous life, Cheng Xuemin was familiar with these artists and could call out their names, but now Cheng Xuemin is considered a celebrity who has not yet worked at Yanying Studio. As long as Cheng Xuemin stands in the studio, these young and old artists can recognize Cheng Xuemin and greet him enthusiastically.

Looking at these smiling faces filled with youthful sunshine, Cheng Xuemin also sighed that this is the future of Beijing circle.

There is no need for Cheng Xuemin to take the initiative to get in!
With Cheng Xuemin's current energy, as long as he goes to that station, he, Cheng Xuemin himself, will be the core of this circle.

Therefore, in the future, don’t talk about getting closer to the Beijing circle. Instead, you should manage your own circle, form your own circle, and become the core soul figure in your own circle.

Cheng Xuemin doesn't have any big ambitions. It's enough for him to be able to influence the fate of a large number of people by just stomping his feet in his own circle.

"have you eaten?"

At the Foreign Languages ​​Bureau, father-in-law Feng was not surprised to see his son-in-law Cheng Xuemin coming over. He just asked with concern whether he had eaten.

"Dad! We've already eaten at the Yanying Studio. Teacher Teng said he will arrange the train tickets!"

Cheng Xuemin greeted his father-in-law, and seeing that he was still holding the lunch box, he asked, "Dad, you haven't eaten yet?"

"I've already eaten it, I just washed it!"

Father-in-law Feng explained, pointed to Lao Zhou's office, and said, "Okay, go find Lao Zhou directly! Just now when we were having dinner, I asked Lao Zhou about it, and I thought you had already taken it back."

"Okay, Dad! I went to Yanda University to get a letter of introduction and a work certificate this morning, and I also went to Yan Film Studio to report. It took me until now."

I explained to my father-in-law and there was no need for him to show me the way. I had come to see Lao Zhou twice before, so I found Lao Zhou's office easily.

Old Zhou had obviously just finished lunch and was dozing off with the electric fan on when Cheng Xuemin knocked on the door.

"Uh! It's you, Xuemin! Old Feng just mentioned that you would come over today!"

Old Zhou was disturbed from his nap, but he was not annoyed. He quickly stood up to greet Cheng Xuemin and spoke politely.

Could you be more polite?
This little ancestor is now the cash cow of their Foreign Language Bureau and the main force in earning foreign exchange. If they don't serve him well, Old Zhou, as the executive director of the Foreign Affairs Office, can forget about his job.

"Yes, yes. I went to Yanying Studio this morning and was delayed! I had originally agreed with my father-in-law to come over this morning!"

Cheng Xuemin nodded repeatedly to explain, and then apologized, "I came here in the middle of the day and disturbed your rest, Teacher Zhou, didn't I?!"

"No, no! I was waiting for you to come!"

"Here, I've already made the new tea for you that was just delivered to our office!"

Old Zhou poured a bowl of cold tea into a large porcelain bowl for Cheng Xuemin, handed it to him and said to Cheng Xuemin with a smile.

"I don't deserve it, Mr. Zhou, you are too polite!"

After hearing what Lao Zhou said, no matter whether the tea was really prepared on purpose or Cheng Xuemin just happened to come across it, he was very flattered. He took the teacup with both hands and thanked him.

"You're welcome, you're welcome!"

"Xuemin, your father-in-law, Lao Feng, and your mother-in-law, Teacher Gu, have conveyed the foreign exchange earning task to you, right?"

"How is it? What do you think? Have you got any inspiration to make a big one recently?"

Old Zhou didn't bother to be polite with Cheng Xuemin. After all, they were one family, so he went straight to the point and asked Cheng Xuemin what he thought.

It is true that their Foreign Language Bureau is under a lot of pressure, and Lao Zhou is under even greater pressure because the task of earning foreign exchange basically falls on his foreign language manuscripts.

It is definitely impossible to complete the above-mentioned million-dollar foreign exchange task relying solely on "Chinese Literature" and "Chinese Translation" in the bureau.

Only by writing your own work, submitting it for publication, and getting a share of other people's sales can you earn their foreign currency, rice, and royalties.

This is the direction their Foreign Languages ​​Bureau is currently heading.

"Teacher Zhou, my parents have mentioned it to me, and I've recently started writing a novella!"

"But it's just the conceptual stage now, so don't hold your hopes too high, Mr. Zhou."

Cheng Xuemin had indeed started writing. Yesterday afternoon and evening, he had already written the first 10,000 words.

However, the length of this novella is about 200,000 words, so it is still early to submit it. I have to wait until I return from the Northwest to continue writing.

So it’s pretty good if we can submit the manuscript when school starts in September.

"Really? Xuemin, you got the inspiration so quickly and are you starting to write?"

"Okay, okay! They say that you are famous in the circle for your high productivity. Now I see that it is true!"

After hearing what Cheng Xuemin said, Lao Zhou slapped his thigh and asked happily, "How is it? Xuemin, when can the manuscript be submitted?"

"Is a month enough for you? Based on your previous hand speed, a month should be more than enough, right?"

As expected, Cheng Xuemin’s expectations were not in vain. He had actually already started to conceive a novella.

Doesn’t that mean that once they write a hit, the foreign exchange earning task of their Foreign Language Bureau will be greatly reduced!

"Teacher Zhou, one month is enough! But I will leave in the next two days to go to the northwest to collect folk songs, so I may not have time to create during this period..."

"Huh?! Xuemin, you're going out to collect folk songs? What kind of folk songs are you going to collect? It's so hot, going to the northwest?"

Without waiting for Cheng Xuemin to finish speaking, Lao Zhou instantly became anxious and lost his composure. He just said that Cheng Xuemin has a fast hand speed and high output.

Why are you running out to collect folk songs in the middle of this conversation?
You're going out in such hot weather. What kind of organization is organizing this field trip? Are you crazy?
"This... Mr. Zhou, it's actually the filming of my novel of the same name, The Horse Herder. The location was chosen in the northwest, and I'm the male lead chosen by Yan Film Studio!"

Cheng Xuemin smiled bitterly and told the truth.

"Scared? Xuemin, you can act in movies? You want to go and film the movie "The Shepherd", and play the hero Lao Xu? You are serious, right?"

Obviously, Lao Zhou has read the novel "The Shepherd". After all, Cheng Xuemin's novel was published at the end of last year and caused quite a sensation.

It is indeed unexpected that Cheng Xuemin not only wrote "The Shepherd", but also personally played the male protagonist Lao Xu in "The Shepherd". Who decided this?
Cheng Xuemin, the original author, was actually chosen to play the male protagonist Lao Xu. I can only say that the person who made this decision is truly a talented person!
"No, no, I just went to the Yan Film Studio this morning to report in. I'm leaving in the next two days, so... as for the manuscript, I'll try to submit it before school starts after I come back, okay, Teacher Zhou?"

……

Asking for a monthly ticket!
