1979 Golden Age

"Invite me to join Shanghai Film Studio?"

Chen Qi raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "I am doing well in Beijing Film Studio, why should I go to Shanghai Film Studio?"

"Let's be frank, I have something to say.

You have been in Beijing Film Studio for so long, but you have never been transferred in, which is strange in itself. Old Wang is a person who cherishes talent, and he must have told you about this. The reason why it didn't work out must be that you didn't agree on some issues.

Am I right?"

"..."

Chen Qi smiled and said nothing.

Wang Lingu gained some confidence and continued: "I am not making any guesses. I am only saying that what Beijing Film Studio has, Shanghai Film Studio also has. What Beijing Film Studio does not have, Shanghai Film Studio still has!

We are the most aggressive, boldest, most fashionable and advanced studio in China. Beijing Film Studio is in the capital and is more or less restricted.

And we value you very much. If you are willing to come, we cannot give you a high position in terms of position, but in terms of power, we support you to make a movie by yourself.

You choose the topic, script, creative team, and even the specific shooting and distribution. The studio does not ask at all!"

Wang Lingu was really sincere and even used housing as a condition, saying: "We are building a 'Shanghai Film New Village' as a unit welfare. It is full of buildings with sewers. As long as you come, you will have a set!"

"Ha!"

Chen Qi was happy and nodded repeatedly: "Thank you, thank you very much, I feel your sincerity."

To be honest, he was really tempted!

The conditions are rich, most people will definitely go.

Seeing this, Wang Linggu added fuel to the fire: "We know that you have your own partner who you are happy to work with. If you agree, we promise to let her transfer here together."

When Chen Qi heard it, he was talking about the "she" with the female character, which meant Gong Xue.

But it would be fine if he didn't mention this. Once he mentioned it, he wanted to roll his eyes. I went to great lengths to get Gong Xue to come to the Beijing Film Studio, and I sent her back? What a waste of time!

"How many chances do I have?"

"What?"

"Director Wang, you came to me because "Tai Chi" was a great success. I understand. The conditions you offered are really generous, and I am also very touched, but I want to ask..."

Chen Qi also became serious and said, "If I fail in your studio, will there be a second chance? Or even a third time?"

"This..."

Wang Linggu hesitated.

"Or rather, Director Wang has been supporting me in every aspect during this period of my experience, so I was able to get through it safely. Do you have this sense of trust in me?

Shanghai Film Studio is indeed stronger in some aspects, but I am used to it here and don't want to move. I can only say sorry."

"Well, I am presumptuous!"

Wang Linggu was very surprised. What does this guy want to do if he doesn't want to enter the Beijing Film Studio but doesn't want to leave?

…………

In the next few days, Chen Qi continued to receive visitors from all walks of life and felt the happiness of Brother Jiayin.

Humph! If the level is not enough, I don't even want to see him!

The visitors can be divided into three groups, one is the administrative agency represented by Aunt Wang, one is the film system, and one is the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office and the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office. They have similar goals and want to snatch people!

Unexpectedly, Wu Tianming also came as a representative of the Xi'an Film Studio.

He is not the director yet, and he will not be an official until 1983. At that time, the fifth generation such as Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige were just starting out, and they were incompatible with the current Chinese films and were not well received. Wu Tianming had a keen eye and promoted the fifth generation.

He produced "Red Sorghum", "Black Cannon Incident", "King of Children", "Horse Thief", "Swordsman in Shuangqi Town", etc., which brought the Xi'an Film Studio to the peak in one fell swoop. The previous Xi'an Film Studio was just a younger brother.

Chen Qi warmly entertained Wu Tianming.

He came to ask for a script this time, hoping that Chen Qi could sell him a martial arts script, and it happened that "Kyoto Ball Man" was given to him.

This story combines martial arts, football, and comedy, and the standard is good. More than 200 copies were sold that year. Chen Qi has too many good things, so he doesn't feel bad, just make friends.

People from China Film came twice again, but they were blocked by the old man, and Chen Qi was too lazy to pay attention.

He got some free time, just to relax.

…

In the blink of an eye, it was March. The city finally warmed up. Willow trees sprouted new buds, spring flowers bloomed, and the Beijing Film Studio became lively.

Early in the morning of that day.

Chen Qi, Liang Xiaosheng, Ge You, Zhang Jinling and other small groups were all there, busy helping Gong Xue move things. They loaded a tricycle in a mess, and everyone supported and pushed it on both sides.

Walking from the guesthouse to the living area at the back, they moved things one by one into the tube building.

Gong Xue got the most practical benefit because of "Tai Chi": the Beijing Film Studio allocated her a single dormitory. The conditions may not be as good as the guesthouse, but at least it is her own private space. Living in the guesthouse is always like a guest.

Chen Qi thought of Wang Linggu's words. This contrast is strong. The Shanghai Film Studio has built a building with flush toilets, while the Beijing Film Studio still has a tube building.

"Where should I put this box?"

"Put it there, I'll do it!"

"What about this one?"

"Just put it at the door!"

After another round of busy work, Gong Xue said with a generous smile: "Thank you for your hard work, I'll treat everyone to a meal!"

"Hey, is it you or Xiao Chen who will treat?" Zhang Jinling said.

"Of course I will treat you, I'll pay!"

"The quality is not that good, it's different if Xiao Chen treats, maybe there will be a big meal!"

"If you don't want to eat, forget it!"

The group left the factory and went to a restaurant they often go to. It was fun to meet friends, and while eating and drinking, Ge You suddenly took out a copy of "Popular Movies" from his army green canvas bag.

"I just bought it. There is important news in it. The Hundred Flowers Awards will be held in Hangzhou on May 23. This year, there will be a Golden Rooster Awards, and they will be held together."

"What is the Golden Rooster Award?" Zhang Jinling asked.

"Expert Award, judged by experts. We don't need to worry about this. Anyway, the voting for the Hundred Flowers Awards has started, look!"

Ge You spread out the magazine, and the group looked at the voting column.

Unlike last year's 14 awards, this year, the director, screenwriter, supporting actor, photography, and art awards were all removed, leaving only the three awards for best feature film and best actor and actress.

"Huh? From this point of view, the Golden Rooster Award is very important!" Chen Qi was inexplicably surprised.

"What do you mean?"

"The awards deleted from the Hundred Flowers Awards this year will definitely be moved to the Golden Rooster Awards. In the future, the Best Director and Best Screenwriter Awards will all be Golden Rooster Awards. Isn't that important?"

"That makes sense. He is indeed a foreign exchange earner!"

Ge You is now extremely envious and jealous of him. Compared with him, his own life is like garbage. He took out a pen and said, "Let's just fill it out and cast a sacred vote."

"Okay, okay, Xiao Chen, you write!"

Chen Qi took the pen without hesitation and said with a smile, "There are three places for the Best Feature Film. Which one do you like?"

"Lushan Love!"

"It must be Lushan Love. You can fill in the remaining two at will."

After much discussion, they finally filled in Lushan Love, 405 Murder Case, and Seventh Grade Sesame Official.

The male lead chose Tang Guoqiang.

When it came to the heroine, several people immediately started to make a noise: "Hey, Xiao Chen, who do you want to write?"

"Yes, yes, I think Zhang Yu in "Night Rain in Bashan" is good, let's choose her?"

"Zhu Biyun in "Rouge" is also good!"

"But the pen is in your hand, what we say does not count, you are the standard."

"..."

In this kind of situation, Gong Xue is not easy to talk to, her face has been red for a long time, she wants him to write, but she doesn't want him to write.

Chen Qicai doesn't care about that, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you are related to someone, good is good, which of the heroines last year was the most dazzling? The eyes of the masses are sharp!"

He wrote Gong Xue with a big stroke!

(Thanks to the leader of the colorful feather clothes...

This month is so long, I feel like I have been writing this book for two years, but fortunately I have kept my promise and updated three times a day.

The book is not bad, it is inseparable from everyone's support, but I have to take a break tomorrow, tomorrow I will update twice, otherwise my waist will be broken...)
