1979 Golden Age

"The blue sky with white clouds, the gentle flowing water..."

In the recording studio of Beijing Film Studio, 17-year-old Li Lingyu was recording a song nervously. As soon as she sang a sentence, Hu Weili stopped her and said, "Your Yue opera accent is too strong, you need to tone it down a little!"

"Okay, teacher!"

"Stop! I want you to be gentle, not at all, but also with a hint of drama, so that it's tactful."

"I know, teacher!"

Li Lingyu blinked her big eyes, feeling aggrieved by being scolded, but she didn't want to give up this rare opportunity, so she had to endure it and continue to adjust.

She is actually from Shanghai. The Hongqi Yue Opera Troupe in Beijing went to Shanghai to recruit actors, and she was admitted. Because she was tall and had thick eyebrows and big eyes, she was very heroic, so the teacher arranged to play the role of a niche student.

It is difficult for male actors in Shaoxing Opera to stand out. They are mainly in the female class, and the niche students are all in the opposite role. They have produced many CPs, such as Mao Weitao and He Saifei, as well as later generations Chen Lijun and Li Yunxiao.

This song was originally sung by her, so Chen Qi asked Hu Weili to give it a try and change it if it didn't work.

In comparison, it is difficult to find singers for "Who Belongs to the Hero". Liu Huan and Han Lei are still young. This song requires high-pitched, loud, rough and powerful. There are no popular singers these days. They all learn from bel canto and Singer of national singing style.

Chen Qi was really at his wits end, so Hu Weili introduced him to a northwest folk song singer, Shandandan's Flower Blossom Yo Red Yanyan... who could sing in this style.

"How many times have I told you, this place needs to be gentler! Be gentler! If it doesn't work, just leave!"

"I'm sorry, teacher, please give me another chance and I will definitely be able to sing well!"

"How do you sing well? You're wasting your time, don't you understand?"

Hu Weili has a good temper, but as a teacher, it is inevitable that there will be times when he cannot control himself. Just when Li Lingyu was about to cry, Chen Qi pretended to be a good person and said: "Let's take a rest first. I am still young, so don't scold him too much." It's heavy."

"The person you are looking for, you said you are pressed for time, but now you are not in a hurry?"

“It’s not enough to just force things, you have to be relaxed.”

"Oh, you dare me to be a bad person?"

Hu Weili rolled his eyes, and Chen Qi smiled with a face thicker than his heels. He gave Li Lingyu a pear and said, "Moisten your throat and take a rest."

"Thank you, Teacher Chen!"

Li Lingyu held the pear in her hand and was embarrassed to eat it. After being urged by the other party, she took a small bite. Her throat that was about to smoke gained a hint of sweetness and she felt much better immediately.

"I think you are still too nervous and haven't performed well. You are from the south. You regard this song as your Jiangnan tune. You can hum it casually and find the feeling of "Little Bridge, Flowing Water, Brother and Sister".

"Uh-huh!"

She nodded repeatedly, "Look at how gentle this little brother is, how different is he from that irascible old man?"

After resting for a while, she continued to endure Hu Weili's torture. Chen Qi was watching her from outside, so naturally he wanted to take this little girl into his pocket. There were two divas in the 1980s, one was Zhang Qiang who sang disco, and the other was Li Lingyu who sang sweet songs.

In the next 20 years, music will be very profitable.

He found that he was a bit of a collector. He felt that whatever type of talent the team lacked, he had to find ways to find one, otherwise he would not be practical.

"Xiao Chen, the factory director is calling you!"

"okay!"

At this moment, someone came in and told Hu Weili that Chen Qi had an explanation and hurried out. When he got downstairs of the main building, he saw that there were more cars, and he felt happy. He knew who was coming this time.

Deng Deng Deng arrived at the factory director's office, and sure enough, Fu Qi and Shi Hui were sitting on the sofa.

"Fu..."

Just as he was about to say hello, another little head poked out from Shi Hui's side. She had big eyes, a ponytail, a very fashionable little girl wearing a beautiful cotton coat and a pink hairpin.

"Xiao Chen!"

Shi Hui spoke first and said with a smile: "Now that we are all familiar with each other, don't talk about the same seniors. We are much different in age. If you don't mind, please call me uncle and aunt."

"Uncle, auntie!" Chen Qi responded with kindness.

"Eh!"

Shi Hui looked very happy, pulled her daughter over and introduced: "This is our little daughter...this is brother Xiao Chen!"

"Hello, brother!"

Fu Mingxian looked at him curiously. First of all, the little girl was very satisfied with her face. Chen Qi's heart stopped. He had already seen several lolita when he passed by, including this one - if the conditions were relaxed, Cai Ming would only be 19 years old!

"It's not easy for you to bring your children here. You might as well stay a few more days and have a good time. Have you gone to Tiananmen?" Wang Yang likes Fu Mingxian very much, just like a grandfather looking after his granddaughter.

"I just went there in the morning and went to the memorial hall to pay homage. I will take her to the Great Hall another day." Fu Qi said.

"That's right. Now that everyone is here, let's eat. I specifically told the canteen to add two roast ducks." Wang Yang said with a smile.

"Okay then, I just miss the ducks in your factory!"

With that said, a few people went downstairs and went to the cafeteria.

There is a single room in the cafeteria specifically for entertaining guests. These people include director Li Wenhua and heroine Gong Xue, making a total of seven.

Beijing Film Studio is not a large state-owned enterprise in terms of scale, but it is a large state-owned enterprise in terms of configuration. As a department-level unit, leaders and overseas colleagues often come over. If the canteen master does not have two brushes, he will not be able to survive.

There are eight dishes on the big round table, with the roast duck in the middle. The slices are better than Quanjude - the Quanjude of later generations.

"This is too much in the year of great disaster!"

Chen Qi sighed secretly, worrying about the country and the people.

"Wow, is this Peking duck?"

Fu Mingxian is 10 years old and is well developed. He can sit on a chair with his feet on the ground. He knows how to run home when it rains. He knows how to call mom after cutting off Yang Guo's arm. He has a promising future.

"This is not a time-honored roast duck, but the cooking method is similar. The master's skills are superb. Is there roast duck in Hong Kong?" Chen Qidao said.

"They are also available in Hong Kong, but my father said they are not authentic. There are more barbecued pork and roasted goose, and there is also roasted suckling pig. It is so big and the skin is crispy, but I don't think it tastes good."

Fu Mingxian's famous gestures.

"Wow, you said the word "authentic" so authentically. Let me tell you, old BJ has no way, it's all authentic. There is often a particle in front of it, hey! Authentic!"

"Are you talking about tongue twisters?" Fu Mingxian looked confused.

"Haha! Brother Xiao Chen is telling you about folk customs. You can eat first."

Shi Hui laughed and rolled a duck pancake for her. Fu Mingxian bit into half of it and nodded repeatedly with his eyes shining.

"..."

Gong Xue glanced sideways at him, this man liked to tease little girls.

The only child ate it, and the adults started talking about business. Wang Yang said: "The Film Bureau approved "Tai Chi" to go to the Berlin Film Festival. They chose "Return of the Swallow" to compete, which talks about anti-rightism and supporting the frontier."

"What's the point of sending this kind of movie out?"

Fu Qi was puzzled and said: "I'm not saying there is a problem with this kind of film, there is nothing wrong with it, but the key is overseas film festivals. We want to use films to build a bridge for cultural exchanges, so it is not suitable.

Now that the central government has decided to open up, why do we still look at the problem with old ideas? Either change it or not change it, it’s vague! "

He has his own position, but after all he has to obey the central government's orders and is very dissatisfied with the current chaotic state.

"You are being radical again. Reform does not happen overnight. There must be a process from top to bottom." Shi Hui said.

"I think I still haven't found the right method..."

Chen Qi said: "We want to show China's ideological value and the characteristics of the times. There is no problem with that. The key is that in our situation, there is really nothing to show at the moment."
