1979 Golden Age

"Stop!"

"Zhang Tielin's acting is good, Li Jianqun, you didn't show your fear. You need to struggle and be afraid. Your movements just now were a bit stiff, and you were just nervous."

"Do it again!"

After trying a few more times, Yang Jie felt it was OK, and continued to shoot the next scene.

Zhan Zhao broke into the door, killed the perverted shopkeeper in a few moves, and tied him up and sent him to the police. The action design here was done by Wang Qun. Although he only had experience in one play, he was much better than most people. He stole some movements from "Tai Chi" and looked pretty good.

Chen Qi watched for a while. Wang Qun's performance was okay, just average. Li Jianqun lacked experience. Of course, she was not famous for her acting skills, so it was okay.

The key is that Yang Jie is really good. Many people don't know how to shoot TV series now, so they use the movie method to shoot, one shot a day, and one episode takes a month. Yang Jie is much more experienced. The six episodes of "Judge Bao" are planned to be three months.

One month in the studio, two months on location, if post-production goes smoothly, it will be released within the year.

"Speaking of which, TV series are also good things for export and foreign exchange, but unfortunately the volume is too small and there is no time to take care of it. Let's wait for the four great classics!"

These days, domestic dramas have just started, and the overall quality is not high, but the classics are an exception.

For example, when "Journey to the West" went abroad to those small Buddhist countries in the south, the people kowtowed to the TV. Nepal even wrote a letter to the Buddha, asking him to recognize his ancestors and return to his roots... The actor who played the Buddha was Zhu Longguang, Gao Chuanbao in "Tunnel Warfare", and Tong Xiangyu's father in "Wulin Wai Zhuan".

There is also Guanyin Bodhisattva Zuo Daying, the paintings hung in the temple and the Bodhisattva plaques sold are all her images.

Let's put it this way, in addition to "Water Margin", "Journey to the West", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Dream of Red Mansions", the Monkey King, Tang Monk, Zhu Bajie, Guan Yu, Zhuge Liang, Jia Baoyu, Lin Daiyu, etc. in them directly laid the artistic standards for characters in the next few decades.

"I'm going to buy something. What are you going to do?"

"Let's buy some meat, some snacks and candies. Oh, by the way, there's Shanghai Lifeng beef jerky for sale. If you can afford it, buy some."

"Okay, I'm leaving."

Chen Qi stayed for a while, whispered a few words to Gong Xue, left the studio, and went straight to the Overseas Chinese Store in Xidan.

He received 30,000 Hong Kong dollars in royalties from the Yuan brothers. He had too many overseas remittance coupons, and the materials for building a house have not been used up yet. When he really submits his works to the United States, he will earn real US dollars.

That is to say, not only can his company earn foreign exchange, but he can also earn foreign exchange, and both the collective and the individual will benefit.

…………

That night.

Chen Qi led Wang Qun, Li Jianqun, Yang Jie, and Wang Chongqiu to the tube building at the back. They walked through the long and dark corridor. They heard sizzling sounds and fragrant aromas. Gong Xue was cooking there, and Gong Ying was busy helping her.

"Now that you are here, please come in. Xiao Chen, please help entertain them!"

"Oh!"

Facing four piercing eyes, Chen Qi remained calm and invited them into the house: "Sit down if you have a place. The house is a little small. These are the stools I just bought two days ago."

"Will it be able to accommodate the meal later?" Wang Qun said.

"Two tables, a small one on the bed and a large one on the floor... Come on, bring the newspaper!"

Chen Qi lifted half of the mattress, spread a few newspapers, put a small square table on it, poured water for everyone, and served beef jerky: "I bought this at the Overseas Chinese Store. Try it!"

"Shanghai Lifeng? I didn't eat it when I was in school in Shanghai, I just heard about it."

Li Jianqun took one generously, and his white teeth opened and closed, biting the beef jerky in his mouth. The beauty mole at the corner of his lips was particularly conspicuous with the rhythm of chewing.

Chen Qi couldn't help but wonder, it stands to reason that people's teeth shouldn't be very good these days? How come I ran into someone who was so fair and neat?

Yang Jie sighed when she saw this, "You're spending too much money. I thought it was just a simple meal. I wouldn't have come if I'd known. I see there are still ribs in the pot!"

"Oh, now that you're here, wouldn't it be a waste if you don't eat it?"

Chen Qi peeled a piece of beef jerky for the old lady. Yang Jie had no choice but to try one. Beef jerky is a luxury among snacks. It must be made from beef legs. Under the condition that it is difficult to eat meat, what kind of capitalist behavior is eating beef jerky?

Several people chatted and cooked outside.

Li Jianqun was also envious of this house. The Beijing Film Studio moved here only a few years ago. It was a new building with white walls and heating. Gong Xue loved cleanliness and growing flowers, and she kept it very beautiful.

She looked around and saw the ink painting on the desk. It was a traditional Chinese painting of orchids.

"..."

She tilted her head and looked for a while, then left the room and took the initiative to say: "Sister Gong Xue, can I help you do it?"

"No, no, you are a guest."

"It's okay, I can cook too, and it's faster with more people... This dish needs to be fried, I'll wash it."

"Oh, great! I'm free!"

Gong Ying ran away in a minute, Li Jianqun washed a bunch of green vegetables, and asked again: "Do you want to cut it?"

"Really, oh... Then cut it into sections, trouble you."

Li Jianqun cut the sections neatly, put them on the plate and handed them over. Gong Xue poured them out and started to stir-fry. Shanghai girls do things very accurately. If they stir-fry five times, they are Shanghainese, and if they stir-fry six times, they are from northern Jiangsu. Hmm...

Seeing that the heat was almost right, she picked up the sugar jar again and scooped sugar habitually. At the moment when she was about to put it in, she suddenly stopped and stuck out her tongue: "It's a close call, I almost forgot again!"

"They don't eat sugar, right?" Li Jianqun laughed.

"No. Hey, where are you from?"

"Wuhan."

"What do people in Wuhan like to eat?"

"A lot, bean curd, bean shreds, river food, lotus root. We can't live without lotus root all year round, and we like spicy food."

"Then you must be very uncomfortable in Shanghai!"

Gong Xue looked at her pitifully, and Li Jianqun nodded vigorously: "I was really uncomfortable at first, but now it's okay. I have mixed tastes and can eat a little... I'll help you bring it in."

She brought the stir-fried vegetables into the house, and then came back and smiled: "Sister Gong Xue, your orchid painting is really good."

"I just painted it randomly. I heard Xiaoying say that you are good at oil painting?"

"I am the one who paints randomly. Although I studied art, I am not very skilled. I just entertain myself."

"My mother is also a professional artist. I am not even one-third of her level. I can tell that you are being modest. Let me see your work if there is a chance."

The two chatted quite well. After a while, the main dish of ribs was ready and brought into the house for the formal feast.

The place was too small, and it was not easy for others to get on the bed. Gong Ying ate while Wang Qun ate while standing. They had to say a few words according to the convention. Gong Xue did not like this kind of occasion, but she had to stand up for her sister.

After a few thoughtful and appropriate words, Yang Jie knew that it was because Gong Ying was in the crew and asked her to take care of her. In fact, she was quite satisfied with Gong Ying. She could not be called a great beauty, but she was obedient and willing to work hard. That was enough.

Chen Qi asked: "Director Yang, I heard that your station is going to shoot the four great classics?"

"How did you know?"

"I heard Director Wang mentioned it the other day."

"Oh, I have this idea, but it has not been confirmed yet. Filming a classic is not a trivial matter. The script, funds, personnel, and time must be carefully considered. Anyway, if I were to shoot it, I would want to shoot "Dream of Red Mansions". I have been familiar with "Dream of Red Mansions" since I was a child."

It's a pity that you can't shoot it, you can shoot monkeys!

"If you have any news, please let me know. I will volunteer to write the script!"

"Oh, that would be great!"

Yang Jie was surprised and happy. This guy is the most popular screenwriter in the country at the moment. She said, "It's settled then. I will definitely let you know!"

Gong Xue looked at him in surprise. How could he be so active when he was usually lazy?

Chen Qi shrugged. Please! Those are the four great classics. It's like checking in when traveling. Of course, I have to get involved. Besides, for Journey to the West, I can write the plot with my eyes closed. It's not difficult at all.

I won't get involved in Dream of Red Mansions. Let Daiyu and Baochai be affectionate with each other...

...

After dinner, the show ended.

Gong Ying stayed again.

"Sister, what do you think of Jianqun?"

"You can tell at first glance that she is a kind-hearted and cultured girl. We got along very well. I don't know her personality, but I feel she is pretty good."

"Yeah, yeah, but no one is as good as you..."

Gong Ying was not stupid. She knew that today was all for her. She sighed, "You are so unsociable, but you can still talk at the dinner table. I am a little touched. I will praise you to my parents when I go back."

Gong Xue rolled her eyes and didn't bother to pay attention to her. Gong Ying hugged her arm and kept asking her. The face came up: "Sister, I want to be a professional actor, do you think there is any way?"

"Do you also want to enter the studio?"

"I don't know, anyway, I can make a movie."

"You are a newcomer to the studio, I can't do anything, how can I tell the director?"

Gong Xue didn't want to trouble Chen Qi too much, and said: "You finish filming "Bao Qingtian" first, I will show you where there are roles and recommend you. If you shoot more dramas, there will definitely be film and television companies that want you."

"Yeah, I listen to you!"

...

On the other side.

Li Jianqun and Zhou Jie are in the same room, but they don't communicate much and are polite on the surface.

Zhou Jie has a bad temper. Later, Venus complained about her, but she is gone, so I won't say so much...

Li Jianqun was also thinking while lying on the bed. She was still confused. Should she go to Lanzhou Military Region after filming this drama, or continue on this path. She used to study dance, but she changed her career to study fine arts after being injured. Performing on stage is her dream.

But after filming "Justice Bao", what should I do if I can't find another role or if no company wants me?

It's terrible to have no company these days!

She tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. Thinking of the dinner just now, she couldn't help laughing. She didn't expect Xiaoying's big star sister to be so kind... As for painting, well, it's good among amateurs.

She didn't have any oil paintings with her, but she had a small notebook of sketches and quick sketches. She would show it to Sister Gong Xue when she had the chance. She felt that the two of them got along well.
