1979 Golden Age

After Yu Chenghui, Sun Jiankui and others finished their scenes, they went directly to the crew of "Shaolin Temple" and followed Zhang Xinyan to Zhejiang.

Shaolin Temple was severely damaged and tattered, with only a few old monks barely making a living by growing vegetables. When Zhang Xinyan went to see the scene, the old monk took off his cassock and was about to write an application for party membership.

This was impossible to film.

Zhang Xinyan was from Zhejiang, so he went to his hometown to shoot the scene, using Guoqing Temple in Tiantai County as a stand-in for Shaolin Temple. The abbot of Guoqing Temple personally taught the actors the etiquette of worship and lent more than 100 monks to the crew.

There were also Yuewang Temple, Lingyin Temple, etc., which were all filming locations.

With Chen Qi's involvement, the progress of "Shaolin Temple" was not delayed at all, and it could even be faster.

Zhang Xinyan has not yet chosen the heroine. Chen Qi does not want Gong Xue to play the role. She is not suitable for the role of a shepherdess, and if "Tai Chi" and "Shaolin Temple" are too similar, it would be a bit unreasonable.

Besides, he had to prepare for other plays.

Ding Lan was the best actress to play the role of the shepherdess. In history, she was transferred to Beijing Film Studio by Wang Yang after filming Shaolin Temple. The old director was so eager to recruit talents that he always picked the right ones.

Ding Lan filmed several martial arts films and was the most representative female martial arts star in the mainland. She married a man from Beijing Film Studio.

This man later performed tasks for the country, going through life and death. In his later years, he lived alone in a villa in the suburbs of Beijing, with someone to take care of him. There was no information about him on the Internet, so of course I can't talk about it here.

Ding Lan divorced him in the late 1980s, married a Singaporean, immigrated to Singapore, and filmed Lotus Battle, Journey to the East, and Jordan Chan's version of The Deer and the Cauldron.

…………

It was midsummer in July.

The green train became a sealed train. The little air coming in through the windows was not enough for everyone to consume. The most unpleasant smell that could be emitted by a crowd of people washed everyone's respiratory tract.

Li Lianjie, Yu Hai, Gong Xue, Wang Qun, Ji Chunhua and others still have roles to play, all on this train bound for Xinxiang, Henan.

Ji Chunhua plays the role of "Ghost Face", whose image is set to be half of his face covered by a huge black birthmark. He repeatedly harasses Chenjiagou, and his role is quite important.

At this moment, he has a big bald head, no eyebrows, and walks in the aisle with a thermos cup. The crowded passengers automatically split into two rows. He came back with hot water and put it on Chen Qi's desk.

"Brother Qi, here's some water!"

"Thank you, sit down for a while too, stop swaying."

"My butt hurts when I sit, it's more comfortable to stand."

Ji Chunhua poked at Chen Qi, watching him scribbling on a notebook, and asked, "What are you drawing?"

"I bought a yard, it's too broken, I have to rebuild it, I'm thinking about how to design it."

Li Lianjie was very sensitive to this kind of thing, beeped, and asked, "You bought a yard? Where is it? How much did it cost?"

"Not much, five thousand."

"Five thousand?!"

Li Lianjie was dumbfounded, counting on his fingers, the monthly salary was 88 yuan, it took nearly five years to earn that much. He was extremely envious and whispered: "Hey, you make so much money writing scripts for Hong Kong. If you write more, you will become a millionaire!"

"It's a bit difficult to become a millionaire by relying on Hong Kong dollars. I will make US dollars faster when I submit my works to the United States!"

"You are bragging again. How can you submit your works to the United States? Can you write in English?"

"Oh, you know how to write in English. You are worthy of being a person who has seen the world abroad."

Chen Qi joked and thought to himself, that's why I look for opportunities to go out, find a reliable communication channel, and earn more US dollars.

He only had a total of 15,000 yuan in savings, and he spent one-third on buying a house. Building a house is even more expensive and laborious. Construction will be in the second half of the year, and it will be good if it can be completed next year.

This put him under some financial pressure, which is very similar to later generations: If people don't buy a house, they can actually live a good life. Once they buy a house, the pressure will come. How much can you spend on eating, drinking, watching movies, renting a house, and traveling? Can it be compared with a house?

Xiaodianhe Village is in Weihui City. Weihui is now called Ji County, which belongs to Xinxiang District.

Xinxiang is amazing, with a long history and many major events. It is the hometown of Jiang Ziya and Bigan. Zhang Liang assassinated Qin, burned Wuchao, Chenqiao Mutiny, and the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest all took place here.

In the evening, they arrived in Xinxiang. On the way to the guesthouse, they saw a movie theater with a big poster of "Lushan Love" posted outside. Gong Xue leaned against the window to see her portrait on the poster, and then turned back to find Chen Qi, who winked at her.

After arriving at the guesthouse, they arranged a room, had dinner, and rested first.

Chen Qi knocked on the door of a room. It was Huang Qiuyan who opened the door. Huang Qiuyan smiled deliberately and said, "Little Brother Chen, you came to see me? What's the matter?"

"I know you are a good girl. You will keep it a secret for us, right? Here, I brought you something specially."

He handed over the imported snacks he prepared. Huang Qiuyan tore open a bag and ate it on the spot. She hummed, "I can only hold on for three hours at most. Don't stay too late. It won't have a good impact if you stay late."

"I know, I know!"

Chen Qi looked behind her. Gong Xue had already packed up. She blushed and followed him in front of Huang Qiuyan.

Since he became bold, it was like a layer of window paper was broken. We agreed to watch "Lush Mountain Love" together.

...

It gets dark late in summer.

It was still light at seven o'clock, and there were many pedestrians. Gong Xue was not embarrassed. After asking around, they arrived at a nearby movie theater and were shocked.

"My dear, what are you doing?"

"Fuck you!"

"I'll beat you to death!"

The ticket office was crowded with people, and everyone was waving their arms to get the movie tickets first. Some couples even started fighting, and they fell down like bowling balls.

Gong Xue took a step back and said in shock: "Why don't we watch it another day? There are too many people!"

"Since we're here! Good man, I thought it was a romantic date, but it turned into a vegetable market. Wait, I'll buy the tickets!"

Chen Qi rolled up his sleeves and squeezed in while they were fighting. He fought his way to the front row, and waved 70 cents in his hand to get two tickets with great difficulty.

These days, the ticket price ranges from 20 cents to 35 cents.

The state stipulates that black-and-white films and old films are cheaper, while color films and wide-screen films are more expensive. When the ticket price is liberalized in a few years, it will start to be expensive.

"Okay, no more!"

The ticket seller shouted in a loud voice: "You can buy tickets for the next show. If you can't buy tickets for the next show, you can buy tickets for tomorrow!"

"I want two tickets!"

"I want four tickets!"

"Don't want that, I want "Lush Mountain Love", everyone says it's good!"

People still squeezed forward regardless of everything. The movie information in different places was inconsistent, and the release time was also different. Gong Xue was stunned. Is my movie so popular?

"Come in quickly!"

Chen Qi called her into the hall. It was equipped with the standard configuration of an old-fashioned cinema, with two floors, which could seat more than a thousand people. There was a stage in front, and activities could be held at ordinary times.

"Sit down! You lower your head, don't let people recognize you, I'll go buy some soda."

Chen Qi was busy, and the cinema was filled with people. Adults chatted and quarreled, children cried, and the voices of the guides mixed together, making a mess.

After a while, the lights dimmed and the scene became quiet instantly.

"Lush Mountain Love" finally appeared!
