1979 Golden Age

June, summer in Beijing.

The willow trees in the courtyard of Beijing Film Studio swayed in the warm wind, the flower beds bloomed brilliantly, and everything was full of vitality. This is the best season in the north, the weather is not too hot, and it is comfortable and pleasant.

Chen Qi put on a short-sleeved shirt, long pants, and the imported sneakers on his feet, and rushed to the studio with a thermos cup.

The thermos cup was also bought at the Overseas Chinese Store. He received too many overseas remittance coupons, and he had to spend them quickly before the expiration of one year. He usually went for a walk when he had nothing to do. The beautiful saleswoman also left him a contact number.

Chen Qi tore it up when he went out.

Humph!

She can leave it for me, and she can also leave it for others. I am not such a casual person!

When we arrived at the studio, the filming had already started. After Xiong Xinxin's experience, the crew seemed to have changed their fortunes. It was indeed smooth sailing afterwards, and Yuan Heping's running-in with everyone became more and more smooth.

Seven fights, considering the length and rhythm of the movie, there must be some trade-offs.

The first two fights were quick and decisive, the third fight was against the Miaojiang stick king, the fourth fight was against the hard qigong and the fifth level of the maple love. Well, it was hard not to fight against the maple love.

The sixth fight was against the drunk monk, and then the big boss.

Yuan Heping and Yu Chenghui studied for a long time and decided to use the Tai Chi sword vs. two-handed sword mode. One is graceful and unrestrained, like a swimming dragon, with a combination of movement and stillness, and a combination of hardness and softness; the other is powerful, with a long stab and short strikes, and a mighty river.

This duel took five days to shoot!

It was the first time for Yuan Heping to use his brain and physical strength at such a high speed. When the last cut was called, he almost collapsed, but he also had a very proud sense of achievement. Two-handed sword! I designed the two-handed sword, and the Hong Kong martial arts were still immersed in the southern boxing.

These martial arts actors in the mainland are all very hard-working, and the Yuan brothers expressed their approval, but that's all.

Because the Hong Kong martial arts are more hard-working.

Most of the martial artists in Hong Kong are uneducated and come from poor families. They can do nothing but fight hard. They usually move in three steps:

"Start!"

"Jump!"

"Send to the hospital!"

There is really no protection. They jump down from several floors. They are filming here and the ambulance is waiting on the set. The hospital often has reserved beds and insurance companies will not accept them.

Moreover, they treat martial artists as non-human beings and do whatever they want. For example, Sammo Hung cutting the wire, which has been mentioned many times...

The mainland is just backward in conditions and requires actors to be professional. It is really much more humane than Hong Kong.

"Okay!"

"Take a break!"

Today we were shooting an indoor fight scene. During the break, Yuan Heping wiped his sweat and sat next to Chen Qi. Seeing Chen Qi looking calm and composed, the cup was steaming with hot tea. He said, "Aren't you too hot?"

"Drinking hot tea in summer is good. Drink it all summer to remove moisture from the body."

"Haha, sometimes I think you are like a Cantonese. You always want to remove moisture and keep healthy. You are just short of making soup."

"It's too late for men to take care of themselves after they are 30. They should take care of themselves while they are young!"

"Then it's too late for me. I'm 35."

Yuan Heping joked for a while and suddenly said, "Aqi, I have an idea. I don't know if it will work. The young man Li Lianjie can become a superstar. The conditions for martial arts films in mainland China are backward. I want to take him to Hong Kong."

"You can't take him away."

"Why?"

"He is from the martial arts team , the Wushu team is under the jurisdiction of the Sports Commission, and he often has to perform abroad, which means that his household registration, identity, and work relationship are all in the hands of the authorities.

You want to take him away, but if the authorities don't agree, he can't even leave the mainland! He is also an illegal resident in Hong Kong, do you want to take him smuggled? "

"Why don't the authorities agree?"

"He is a key sports talent trained by the country, and we expect him to win gold medals and perform abroad!"

"Is there really no way to make concessions?"

"Why don't you ask the director of the Hong Kong Film and Television Administration? The Beijing Sports Commission is a full-time department."

Yuan Heping smiled awkwardly. He didn't have any idea about these. What department, bureau, and department... Let's put it this way, the number one brother in the Hong Kong police is awesome, in charge of all Hong Kong police officers, and a big shot in Hong Kong movies. What level is that in the mainland?

Chen Qi snorted secretly, the Yuan family wanted to take Li Lianjie away, but you couldn't protect him even if you took him.

I still want to get him under my command!

…………

In Sun Wenjin's office.

Gong Xue sat upright, her back straight, listening to the other party's lecture, because her transfer procedures that had been delayed for two months were in the other party's hands.

"..."

Sun Wenjin read the thin pages of paper several times, looked at Gong Xue again, and said: "Last year, Liu Xiaoqing was filming "Little Flower", and the director liked it and wanted to transfer you here. This year, you are filming "Lush Mountain Love", and the director liked it again, and also wanted to transfer you here.

There are few young actors in the Beijing Film Studio. You have potential, and I welcome you. But I am in charge of this matter, and I have to remind you a few words, especially since you are still an educated youth, you must abide by the discipline, correct your attitude, and serve the people wholeheartedly."

"I will definitely learn from my predecessors and be a good actor who serves the people, and live up to your and the leaders' kindness!"

Gong Xue grabbed her pants with her fingers and opened her mouth to make flattering remarks. This was all practiced when she was criticized and sent to the countryside, and she had to express her position at all times.

"Well, I hope you can keep your promise!"

Sun Wenjin's attitude softened a bit. He liked this kind of statement, which made him feel valuable. Then he thought of a certain annoying guy. How could the difference between the two people in the same crew be so big?

He stamped it, signed it, and said: "From now on, you will be a member of the Beijing Film Studio. You are from Shanghai. You have some things you are not used to. You have to overcome them. Are you living in a guest house now?"

"right!"

"Stay here first. There is no suitable dormitory for you in the factory at the moment. Okay, you can go to the room next door to take a picture and get a work permit first."

"Thank you, leader!"

Gong Xue nodded vigorously, bowed seriously, and then left the room. After taking the photo and walking out of the main building, she finally became happy and trotted towards the studio.

She had always wanted to be a professional actor, and now her dream has come true. She can’t wait to share it with her parents. But her parents still have to write letters, so she can’t wait to share it with her stinky brother first.

"Xiao Chen!!!"

Huh?

Chen Qi was watching the filming. When he saw her spitting out three exclamation points, he knew that something big was going on. He knew it, but he pretended not to understand. Of course, he would only be happy if he said it himself.

Sure enough, Gong Xue was so excited that she had to suppress her voice and said to him: "I'm transferred in! I will be a professional actor from now on!"

"Wow!"

"Congratulations! Finally your dream has come true!"

"I have had this goal since I was a teenager. For ten years, I can't believe I actually entered the Beijing Film Studio. Life is so amazing..."

Yes, yes, it’s so amazing!

I changed the trajectory of your life. You did not go to Shanghai Film Studio, and you will soon become the most popular female star in China!

Chen Qi echoed in his heart. Seeing her overjoyed and unable to help herself, he couldn't help teasing her: "Hey, don't be happy so early. You have a lot of things to do after you enter the factory!"

"What's the matter?" Gong Xue was surprised.

"What's the salary standard for you?"

"56 yuan!"

"56 yuan is enough for you, but you haven't been assigned a dormitory, right? You can live in a guest house when filming now. Where will you live after filming? Housing in the factory is very tight, and old employees are waiting in line. You will be there in ten years Forget it.

The simplest way is to set up a shop for you in a corner, where they can work during the day and you can sleep at night. Or put you into a dormitory with a lot of people and chat with a few strange girls all day long.

When you enter the factory, you have to film, but it’s a carrot and a trap. What if no crew comes to you? If there are no films, there will be no results, and if there are no results, there will be no salary increase. Are you going to keep these 56 yuan for the rest of your life? Firewood, rice, oil, salt, food, clothing, housing and transportation, what should not be considered?

In the blink of an eye you'll be over thirty, in the next blink of an eye you'll be fifty, with no house, no filming, hey, you're retired! "

"How can I touch my anger!"

Gong Xue was angry, she clenched her little fist and hit him secretly, then turned and left: "I'm annoyed by Sett, I won't tell you anymore!"

"Hey, you are so careless that you actually speak Shanghainese to me? You can't just look at the poems and the distance, but you also have to look at the coercion in front of you... Hey, you are cowardly!"

Chen Qi shrugged, "I'm telling the truth. The system is a place based on seniority. As long as you jump in, you will find that it is a mess."

But it doesn’t matter, I’m here!

At this moment, someone suddenly ran in, approached and said, "Chen Qi, someone is looking for you at the door."

"Oh, thank you!"

He put down the thermos cup, wandered to the door, and looked, "Mom? Why are you here?"
