Exciting 1979!

Chapter 113 Melinda Picking Mushrooms

At the Beijing Film Studio, Wei Ming was already reading a newspaper in Director Wang Yang's office.

There is another door in the office, which is usually not opened, and a white fake flower is hung on the door handle.

"Xiao Wei, sorry to have kept me waiting." Wang Yang, who had just finished a meeting, returned to the office.

He handed back the manuscript of Wei Ming's novel.

"What do you think about this work?" Wang Yang asked.

Wei Ming was excited, this meant the project was approved!
In the past few days, Wang Yang showed the manuscript of the novel to several leaders.

Most of them expressed their likes and appreciation. Not to mention the high entertainment value, the key theme is also very positive. But there is a question: who can shoot it at the Beijing Film Studio?

After watching a round, it seems that there is really no particularly suitable one. This kind of martial arts film has never been touched before. Several old directors don't want to touch it, thinking it is not artistic, and the young directors who want to try it are afraid that they can't grasp it. Martial arts films are very expensive.

The meeting just now was to discuss the candidate for director, but no conclusion could be reached, so Wang Yang simply came to ask Wei Ming.

"I'm worried that the domestic technology is not good enough to shoot this kind of martial arts film, so can we make it into a co-production," Wei Ming said, "and invite a director from Hong Kong to shoot it."

Wang Yang nodded: "That's one direction, but you should write the script first."

"it is good."

Wang Yang asked again: "Do you want our factory to provide you with a dormitory so that you can concentrate on your creation?"

Wei Ming declined his kindness, as he actually didn't want to write the script so quickly.

Because he still has to wait for Xia Meng's Bluebird Pictures to be established.

The only Hong Kong film companies that can now cooperate with the Beijing Film Studio are the left-wing Great Wall, Phoenix, and New United. However, after the movement, the three major left-wing film companies were severely damaged and have limited strength, and they are unable to take care of themselves.

Moreover, Great Wall is still working on its own "Shaolin Temple" and later teamed up with Xinlian to set up a new "Zhongyuan Film Company". It is likely that it will not open another stall, and the help that a Phoenix can provide is limited.

So Wei Ming had to wait for Blue Bird to be established. Ms. Xia Meng borrowed money from the Huo family to start a business. She had money, connections, and abilities, and was the most suitable partner Wei Ming could think of for the Beijing Film Studio.

When Wei Ming left Director Wang’s office, he soon “accidentally” ran into Liu Xiaoqing.

A big-faced man suddenly appeared in front of Wei Ming, looking very enthusiastic: "You must be writer Wei Ming, hello, I am Liu Xiaoqing."

The other person extended her hand, and Wei Ming shook it with her: "Oh, hello, hello."

Although Liu Xiaoqing had a different look compared to the last time they met, he never used his own qualities to demand others to do what they wanted. As long as they were just okay, it was fine.

"You are so amazing. You have published novels and scripts one after another. I heard that the studio is going to shoot another novel of yours this time." After praising you for a few words, Liu Xiaoqing turned the topic to "The Shepherd". It was obvious that she was not very interested in the other martial arts film.

Although "The Shepherd" did not fall to the Beijing Film Studio, Liu Xiaoqing particularly hoped that the role of Wei Fenfang would fall to him, so he deliberately ambushed Wei Ming here.

Who says that Shanghai Film Studio cannot use actors from Beijing Film Studio? Li Xiuming has filmed a movie with Shanghai Film Studio, and Chen Chong from Shanghai Film Studio has also filmed a movie with Beijing Film Studio.

There will definitely be some prejudices among the major brands, but in the end, suitability is the most important factor.

But the problem is that you, sister, are not suitable for the role. You look like a strong woman. How can you play Wei Fenfang? And your age is not suitable either.

Although Liu Xiaoqing, Zhu Lin and Gong Xing are all of similar age, Liu Xiaoqing and Zhu Lin look like mature women, while Xue looks much younger. Maybe this is the advantage of having a small face, as she looks good on the big screen.

Liu Xiaoqing sent Wei Ming out of the factory with a smile on her face, but Wei Ming never agreed to recommend her to director Xie Jin.

Please, we haven't slept together before, so I don't need to do that.

Of course, he and Sister Xue had never slept together, but they had thought about it.

Wei Ming rode his bicycle hard uphill, not knowing what was going on with Director Xie Jin. Did he like Sister Xue?

After returning to Peking University, before work hours, Wei Ming went to the South Pavilion to look for him. Unexpectedly, Melinda was there too. She came to give Teacher Gu a few tapes as a parting gift.

It is too troublesome for international students to take so many things with them, so it is better to leave them for people they know as souvenirs.

Seeing that there were no other students, Melinda kissed Wei Ming when Teacher Gu had her back to them, then quickly separated and mouthed: My period is over!

Wei Ming knew that there would be a big battle tonight.

Teacher Gu, who had her back to the two of them, had very sensitive ears. She turned around only after she heard the two of them finished kissing.

"Why did Xiao Wei come to my place today? Aren't you afraid that I will urge you to do your homework?" she said jokingly.

Wei Ming took out a piece of paper: "Because I came here after finishing my homework."

"Oh, 'Where is Spring' is finished?"

"Yeah, check if you pass or fail."

Teacher Gu only took a quick glance and said, "Of course you have passed, but you can't stop the class if you don't get full marks."

Wei Ming smiled and said, "As long as you are in Peking University for one day, I will insist on coming to class."

"You can come after I leave. You're always welcome," Teacher Gu said. "I'll leave you my home address later."

"Okay."

Teacher Gu asked Wei Ming again: "Do you have any new lyrics recently?"

Wei Ming smiled and took out another piece of paper: "It really is."

Teacher Gu took a look and said, "Little girl picking mushrooms, do you have any melody?"

Wei Ming shook his head and said, "How about I trouble Teacher Gu to compose a song for me?"

Gu Jianfen smiled and said, "Why, are you afraid of handing in homework?"

That’s not the case. The main reason is that this song was originally composed by Teacher Gu, and Wei Ming felt a little embarrassed to attack someone he knew.

After Wei Ming repeatedly expressed that he had no inspiration, Teacher Gu took on the job. It was just a nursery rhyme, and he made it for Lele to sing.

On the way back to Shaoyuan, Melinda asked Wei Ming, "Is that song you wrote inspired by me?"

Wei Ming was confused: "Why don't I remember you talking about picking mushrooms in your hometown?"

Melinda: “I was picking mushrooms every night the other day.”

Wei Ming was stunned after hearing this. It was so dirty. He was no longer clean!
However, Melinda is already able to tell Chinese dirty jokes, and Wei Ming has more confidence in her translation ability.

Melinda demanded a lot that night, and Wei Ming did not embarrass the Chinese man, so both of them had a great time.

Melinda was going to have her graduation thesis defense the next day. Wei Ming went to Wu Zuxiang's class and sat in his office after class. He talked to him about the experiences of scholars, professors and intellectuals like them during that period, in order to accumulate materials for his new work.

Gouzitun at this time.

Xu Shufen looked at her husband in a daze and asked, "What's wrong? Something seems to be wrong with you since you saw the letter. What did it say?"

Wei Jiefang: "I'm a little unsure. No, I have to ask my son in person."

"Ah, you are going to Yanjing."

"It's not me, it's us," he hugged his wife, "You haven't been to Yanjing yet, right? Then let's go there!"
