Entertainment Era: My Good Sister Is All Over the World

This position was chosen by Wang Yang after careful consideration.

If Huang Wenbin were directly recruited as a screenwriter or director, it would definitely cause dissatisfaction among many veteran directors and screenwriters in the studio, and it wouldn't be a good thing for Huang Wenbin himself either.

However, simply giving him an editor position would be too unfair. If he were to become an editor, what would become of the senior editors in the literature department?

Finally, I came up with the idea of ​​creating a planning position.

The Beijing Film Studio did indeed have such a position; it was a jack-of-all-trades job where one could get involved in almost anything at the studio.

If you stay in the Literature Department, you can continue to work as a screenwriter, or participate in film production from time to time, such as assisting the director with some pre- and post-production work.

"Okay, thank you, Director Wang." Huang Wenbin said with a smile and left the office.

In the editorial office of the Literature Department, Jiang Huaiyan was already waiting for Huang Wenbin.

Wang Yang recounted some details of the seminar to him, and he immediately realized that this required special handling.

Wang Yang took care of the paperwork at the film academy when he went there.

"We're family now!" Jiang Huaiyan said with a smile after completing the formalities for Huang Wenbin. "All the necessary documents will be ready in a couple of days. The old factory manager also told me that room 404 is reserved for you. You can stay as long as you want."

Jiang Huaiyan said with a smile, "During this time, you've brought so much revenue and reputation to the Beijing Film Studio. What's a room compared to that!"

"I'm still a student, it's not really appropriate for me to stay at the Beijing Film Studio guesthouse all the time!" Huang Wenbin said somewhat embarrassedly.

However, it is indeed more comfortable to live here than in the dormitories at the film academy, where several people share a room, while here you have a single room.

"It's alright." Jiang Huaiyan waved his hand. "Your Dean Lu is more than happy for you to find good jobs after graduation. He's overjoyed that you're staying here."

Indeed, this is vastly different from the Central Academy of Drama.

Don't even think about getting roles at the Central Academy of Drama. As a freshman or sophomore, you can forget about getting any roles. Even for a big director's film, you'll have to go through a lot of trouble to find actors.

The opposite was true at Yenching Film Academy, where the dean's attitude was: "If a director wants you to act in a movie, what are you still doing at school? Get over there and film properly."

The following day, the People's Daily published a news article in its arts and literature section titled "Go for It, No Taboos," with the subtitle "Summary of the Symposium on the Works of Emerging Writer Huang Wenbin."

The content wasn't anything special; it was just a general overview of the meeting.

Recently, some new ideas have emerged in the literary world. Some experts believe that this is a bad trend and may have a very bad social impact, and have proposed to restrict these works.

Another group of experts believes that since reform and opening up have already begun, we should not be complacent and overly sensitive. Before any fundamental principles are violated, artists should not be restricted; instead, such innovation should be praised. Only innovation can bring new vitality and allow literature to bear abundant fruit.

Taking several works by emerging writer Huang Wenbin as examples, the two sides engaged in a heated debate.

Ultimately, in a friendly discussion, both sides reached a consensus that Huang Wenbin's works did not violate any principles and were representative of pioneering innovation, and should be supported so that he could create more and richer possibilities in the literary and artistic circles.

After the meeting, the old man wrote two lines of advice for the 19-year-old writer: "Exceptional talent, remarkable for his age. Be bold and do it, without any taboos."

"These two words of advice demonstrate the elder's open-mindedness and are also an encouragement to the contemporary arts and culture scene. We are facing an unprecedented transformation and should no longer be swayed by the dust of the old era. I urge all young people to stride forward boldly and be courageous in exploring new frontiers, so that we can work together to usher in a new era!"

At the end of the article, the titles of Huang Wenbin's publicly published works are appended.

This news caused a small shock throughout the country.

From north to south, from China to abroad, people are discussing who this young man named Huang Wenbin is, that he could be so highly regarded by the old man.

As a result, his work unexpectedly became a huge hit.

Long Zhenghui, the editor-in-chief of Foshan Literature and Art, was practically laughing his head off. He immediately had someone add a note to the pen name in the upcoming book, "The Invincible Benevolent Huang Feihong," changing it to the author's name, Young Abin (Huang Wenbin).

Li Qingquan, the editor-in-chief of People's Literature, was quick to react and directly pulled in Yenching Literature to collect several of Huang Wenbin's short stories, preparing to publish a collection of Huang Wenbin's short stories.

Just as Wang Yang predicted, Huang Wenbin became a tempting target overnight.

After seeing this news, Lu Meng, the acting dean of Yenching Film Academy, was filled with regret, realizing that he had fallen for Wang Yang's scheme.

This precious item was wasted on Wang Yang's personal favor; it's a complete loss.

Early in the morning, hundreds of people came to the entrance of the Beijing Film Studio, wanting to see what this young man, whom even the elders praised as "extraordinarily talented," looked like!

Fortunately, Huang Wenbin and Chen Huaikai had already taken a train south by then.

"You're quite the troublemaker, aren't you?" Chen Huaikai and Huang Wenbin set up a chessboard on the table in the carriage and were locked in a fierce battle. "With such a commotion, you won't have a moment's peace for at least a year or two."

Huang Wenbin looked wronged and argued, "I didn't do anything. It was you who held the meeting, how can you blame me?"

Chen Huaikai knocked Huang Wenbin's cannon away with his car and said with a smile, "It's still because your work is too ahead of its time. We old men just can't understand it."

"It's not exactly ahead of its time. There will be even more avant-garde and abstract designs in the future." Huang Wenbin said, as he used his horse to pull off Chen Huaikai's elephant.

Xu Xiaoming, who was standing nearby, was fast asleep with his arms crossed. He had gone to Guangdong Province to fight the fire.

A Hong Kong film crew was shooting on location in the mountainous area of ​​northern Guangdong when they heard they were having some trouble. Master Zhu asked him to go and help resolve it.

The film crew was shooting the movie, which was Johnnie To's directorial debut, "The Deadly Gold in the Cold Mountains".

It was originally Liu Songren who was preparing to shoot this movie. At that time, he was already a well-known television star in the industry. This was the debut film of his Zeus Film Company. He brought in his friend Johnnie To to direct the film and invited the newly crowned "Most Beautiful Miss Hong Kong" Cherie Chung to play the female lead.

Because it was a collaboration with Phoenix Films, a left-wing film company, it was able to film in mainland China.

Originally, the plan was to film in northern Guangdong for only a month and a half and finish the project.

However, once they arrived in the mountains, numerous problems arose even before filming began. The chosen location was too remote, and the conditions were very basic, resulting in staff members suffering from diarrhea or injuries.

After filming for less than a month, even Du Qifeng and Liu Songren were starting to feel the strain.

At this point, the two martial arts instructors fell off the cliff and were seriously injured, requiring them to be sent back to Hong Kong for treatment.

They tried to bring over two more martial arts instructors from Hong Kong, but no one agreed.

Liu Songren was using his own savings to make the film, and he didn't have any extra money to hire more people.

Johnnie To was also in a dilemma: without a martial arts director, what was the point of making this martial arts film?

Liu Songren had no choice but to mobilize his connections and call back to Hong Kong to call for reinforcements.

Zhu Mu, the third master, has always been a man of honor. After learning about this, he immediately contacted Xu Xiaoming and asked him to help Liu Songren.

Xu Xiaoming is a loyal friend, and he agreed without even discussing money.

After a 30-hour drive, Huang Wenbin felt like his butt was about to fly to the sky.

Thankfully, we finally arrived.

Xu Xiaoming said goodbye to Huang Wenbin and the others at the Guangzhou train station.

Of course, Xu Xiaoming extended a very warm invitation, telling Huang Wenbin that he must go to Hong Kong if he has the opportunity, and that he would do his best to receive him.

Huang Wenbin simply nodded, without giving a definite answer.

The crew and actors arrived in batches. The first batch, led by assistant director Yu Yang, arrived three days ago.

So, after they left Guangzhou Railway Station, they were met by people along the way and soon arrived at the Mei Family Compound.

Chen Huaikai also gave the staff and actors two more days off so they could rest and recuperate.

Filming officially began on the morning of the third day.
