1979 Golden Age

"The composition of the Boxers was very complex, including poor peasants, handicraftsmen, small vendors, workers, some government troops, rich gentry and even princes and nobles, and many hooligans and rogues mixed in later.

It can be roughly divided into three types: official group, private group and fake group.

Official group, accept the Qing court's appeasement, receive its salary and obey its dispatch.

Private group, spontaneous organization of the people, set up their own altar.

Fake group, either disobey the rule of the Qing government and threaten it; or pretend to be the Boxers to run rampant and prey on the good. There are records that say 'all believers pretend to be fake Boxers, seek revenge and kill people everywhere, especially in BJ West City.'"

In the studio of Beijing Film Studio, "Tai Chi 2" was concentrated in training, and Teacher Chen taught in person.

He Qing and Tao Huimin sat obediently on the small stool, holding a small notebook to record. Zhen Zidan also came, still with a posture of not allowing strangers to enter, and sat alone on the side.

"The Red Lantern Society is a female organization of the Boxers. The women all wear red clothes and red pants, hold red lanterns in their right hands, and hold red fans in their left hands.

The eldest sister is known as the Holy Mother of Yellow Lotus, the highest leader, that is, the role played by Ge Chunyan. Next is the two-faced bodhisattva. You are set to be twins in one body. Come on, both of you stand up!"

Chen Qi asked them to stand up, with their backs pressed tightly against each other's backs.

"In fact, it is a deformed conjoined person, used to play tricks, dressed as a bodhisattva, with one face on the front and another on the back, so it is called the two-faced bodhisattva..."

Hiss!

Everyone has read the script, and now they gasped when they heard it with their own ears. They just felt that Teacher Chen's brain was like a demon. How could he come up with such an idea?

This setting comes from "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch" starring Leslie Cheung and Brigitte Lin. There is a conjoined brother and sister in the movie, played by Francis Ng and Lu Shaoling. Francis Ng is simply too perverted...

"I have a question!"

Zhen Zidan suddenly raised his hand and said in a difficult Mandarin: "Can such a large-scale movie be released? Don't let everyone finish shooting but can't release it."

"We are going overseas and don't follow the domestic censorship standards. If we want to release it in China, the Film Bureau will review it according to domestic standards, but it will also give us the largest scale."

Chen Qi glanced at him, and there was no work at this time. The husband retorted and continued:

"The Red Lanterns are an organization that resists foreigners, but they also believe in feudal superstition. The Holy Mother of Yellow Lotus claims to be able to bring the dead back to life and knows Taoist magic. She can fly into the sky by fanning with her left hand, and then the red lantern in her right hand is like a cannonball, exploding randomly.

The overall image of the Red Lanterns in "Tai Chi 2" is positive, and they died under the guns of foreigners in the end.

The leader of the altar, Ji Chunhua, is completely negative, and it is not enough to beat him to death..."

He talked about the whole class and gave it to Li Wenhua. Li Wenhua continued to talk about some filming matters and gave basic acting guidance to He Qing and Tao Huimin.

Chen Qi rode his bike out of the Beijing Film Studio and finally met the male lead of "Tai Chi 2" - Li Lianjie, who was almost going crazy.

…………

Shichahai Sports School.

At noon that day, Li Lianjie didn't even eat, and hurried through the campus to the gate.

The coaches and seniors greeted him as cordially as usual, but there seemed to be a hint of inquiry and gloating in his eyes, which might be his own illusion.

He had a very tormenting time.

Since the showdown with leader Han, the Wushu team has taken a tough attitude, and in order to punish him, they reneged on the original permission to film a movie, and even stopped him from filming a movie.

Li Lianjie knew that they were waiting for him to apologize, write a self-criticism, write a letter of guarantee, etc. If it weren't for Chen Qi, he would either write a self-criticism or go to the other extreme: breaking his leg!

And Chen Qi said he would deal with it after he came back, and he really waited, all of which was the prestige he established during the trip to Hong Kong and Berlin.

"Why haven't you come yet!"

"You didn't forget, did you?"

Li Lianjie stood anxiously for more than 20 minutes, and finally saw a bicycle riding slowly over, and hurried to greet him: "Brother Qi!"

"Well, have you had lunch?"

"No!"

"Didn't I tell you to eat and sleep when you should? You are so worried at such a young age."

"How can I eat? This is a major event in my life!"

Li Lianjie wanted to lose his temper, but he didn't dare to. The pressure from the martial arts team was always tempering his temper. Facing the only person who could save him, he didn't dare to say a harsh word.

Chen Qi pushed the bike in as if nothing had happened, and smiled: "The preparations for "Tai Chi 2" are going smoothly. Ge Chunyan, Wang Qun, and Huang Qiuyan have already settled in the guesthouse. When the Yuan brothers come to Beijing and solve your problem, we will officially start shooting."

"You say it lightly, can this kind of thing be solved just by saying it can be solved?" Li Lianjie was depressed.

"Everything can be discussed, it just depends on whether the conditions are sufficient."

Chen Qi patted him on the shoulder and said, "Xiao Li, you are my leading actor, I am talking to you with the mentality of pretending to be my grandson. No matter how much it costs, I have to bring you into my crew."

"Brother Qi!"

Li Lianjie was like a drowning man who saw someone holding out his hand, and he was really touched.

Chen Qi smiled and came to the administrative office. Leader Han had gone to eat, and he waited for a while before he saw him.

"Oh, rare guest! Please take a seat!"

Leader Han entertained him warmly, poured water and made tea, and took out cigarettes, and smiled: "I heard about your story. You are so young. Should I call you Mr. Chen now?"

"No, no, just call me by my name. I would be disturbing you if I visited you rashly!"

One is a public institution and the other is a state-owned enterprise. If not calculated by level, the two are on the same level.

Leader Han knew that it was definitely because of Li Lianjie, but he couldn't bring it up. Chen Qi didn't talk nonsense. After being polite, he said: "We are preparing for "Tai Chi 2", and Xiao Li is still the leading actor.

I had already informed him to join the group, but there had been no movement, so I came to see if there was any misunderstanding. "

"Hey, this is not a misunderstanding! There is a clear relationship between the martial arts team and him."

"Yes, but you also understand the specific situation. The export of "Tai Chi" was deeply supported by the leaders. "Tai Chi 2" was about to continue its efforts. Suddenly the male lead was gone, which was not good.

If there is any problem, I will talk to you. "

"We absolutely support exporting to earn foreign exchange. Ask him, did I say that the martial arts team supports him in making movies?"

Leader Han leaned back, wondering what he was afraid of, and said: "But this kid pushed it even further, and even said that he wanted to retire and leave the martial arts team, and he categorically expressed his stance to me!

If this happened to you, how would you handle it? "

"Is this happening?"

Chen Qi looked surprised and turned to Li Lianjie: "You said you want to retire?"

"..."

Li Lianjie was depressed and embarrassed, so he could only nod his head: "Yeah!"

oops!

Chen Qi sighed, looking like an ignorant child. He was silent for a few seconds and said, "Xiao Li, go out first and let's talk alone."

"Brother Qi!"

"It's okay, you go out first."

Li Lianjie pursed his lips, turned around and went out. He didn't dare to go far and was still squatting outside.

No matter how precocious he is, he is still only 18 years old after all. He feels that he is standing at a crossroads in life, but he is powerless and hopes that Chen Qi can help him.

Through various interactions, he has determined that Chen Qi is his great nobleman.
