1979 Golden Age

"This move is called "Wild Goose Flying to Descend Good Luck!"

"Spread your arms and imitate the geese flapping their wings, up and down, up and down..."

In the afternoon, Ge You, who had just joined the sperm enhancement and kidney strengthening team, was learning longevity exercises from Chen Qi.

He practiced very methodically, without relaxing his body at all. Chen Qi said, "Stop, stop, stop! Don't do this with the standard of radio gymnastics. This is a Taoist body-building exercise. It emphasizes a peaceful state of mind and natural movements. Don't use any moves. Let your mind turn freely, just like a child playing a game. Just make yourself comfortable."

"You still say you don't know the exercises, and you even have Taoism!" Ge You shouted in a low voice.

"What the exercises are, keep your mouth shut and don't go out and talk nonsense. It's easy to get into trouble."

"I understand! I understand! The law should not be passed on lightly."

Ge You seemed to have some misunderstandings. Ever since he talked about martial arts on the day of watching "Drunken Master", he thought he really knew some hidden secrets. Chen Qi just laughed. This is the real plane, not a low-level demon. Even Chang Wei doesn't have natural supernatural powers!

"You do Vajra Gong in the morning and Longevity Gong in the evening. It's good for your body if you keep doing it. You are too weak."

"I'll try my best!"

Ge You responded. He seemed to have congenital deficiency and was weak since childhood. Otherwise, he would not have been assigned to feed pigs when he joined the team. He became weaker as he got older and spoke slowly.

When Chen Qi came here, he was almost 70 years old and had no children in his life.

Some said that the couple didn't want it, some said that his wife couldn't have children, and some said that he couldn't have children... Anyway, it was certain that he was in poor health.

"Xiao Chen!"

While practicing, Liang Xiaosheng pushed the door in and said, "Director Jiang wants to see you!"

"About the script?"

"Yes!"

"Okay, I have to go too. Come back another day."

Seeing this, Ge You said goodbye tactfully.

Chen Qi followed Liang Xiaosheng downstairs and asked on the way: "Has the script been approved?"

"How should I put it? In principle, it has been approved!"

"What do you mean by in principle?"

"It's a bit complicated. Director Jiang will explain it to you."

Chen Qi was confused and arrived at the office of the Literature Department in the main building. All the editors were there. Jiang Huaiyan was the director. There was a small room inside. He knocked three times and pushed the door open.

"Xiao Chen is here. Have a seat!"

Jiang Huaiyan motioned him to sit down, and made him a cup of tea. He smiled and said: "First of all, congratulations, your script has been approved by all, and the deputy director has also approved it.

We positioned it as a romantic landscape film, based on the beautiful scenery of Lushan Mountain, showing the love story of a young man and woman, mixed with some political melodies and contemporary ideas.

In principle, Beijing Film Studio has decided to want your script..."

But!

Chen Qi thought to himself, and sure enough, Jiang Huaiyan's next sentence was: "But, we want to do better."

"Can you tell me more specifically?"

"This is one of our wishes. You may think that our requirements are too high, but there is no perfection in filmmaking.

Of course, this is not a hard and fast rule.

We can finalize the project now, but if you also want to do better, can you make the plot more twists and turns, sublimate the theme, and touch the emotions more?"

Emmmm!

Chen Qi cursed secretly, what is the difference between this and voluntary overtime?

The script he finalized is already the story of "Lushan Love" in history, but he didn't expect that the Beijing Film Studio was not satisfied. In fact, think about it, different people have different criteria for judgment. You think it's OK in the Shanghai Film Studio, but I don't think it's OK in the Beijing Film Studio.

"..."

He looked at the other party's expectant eyes and rolled his eyes secretly. I just want to get it for free, but I have to work hard!

"Since you said so, I'll give it a try."

"Okay, I didn't make a mistake!"

Jiang Huaiyan was immediately happy, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Our editor said before that you would take over. Don't think we are deliberately making things difficult for you. Just give it your best. We definitely want this script."

After saying this, Chen Qi felt a little more comfortable.

Value yourself!

Then he sighed again, damn, I was also CPU in 1979?

…………

Returned to the guesthouse.

I met Chen Huaikai again on the third floor. The old man was preparing to shoot a drama film "Zhuge Liang's Mourning". He held meetings in the room every day. The people coming and going were all drama actors, and I didn't know any of them.

Seeing Chen Qi holding the script, he asked, "Has it been approved?"

"I think so!"

"Approved?"

"In principle, it has been approved, but I was asked to revise it, so it's called approved."

"Hahaha!"

Chen Huaikai laughed. He had a deep classical aesthetic and naturally understood this joke. He said, "You are really interesting, kid. According to our rules, when a script is approved, we have to shout. Come on!"

"Shout?"

"You will know when the time comes!"

Chen Qi shrugged, went into his room, and slapped the script, which was thicker than Xianghe meat pie, on the table, venting the grievances of a worker.

But after washing his face, he had calmed down, and sat at the table, sucked the ink from the fountain pen, and began to write seriously for the first time - the butterfly flapped its wings, something went wrong, and he became serious.

"Lush Mountain Love" was originally very plain. Excluding the extras, there were only seven actors in the whole film.

The female lead was Zhou Yun and the male lead was Geng Hua.

He sorted out the plot, thought for a while, and decided to add a new character: the male protagonist's sister, Geng Ying.

Geng Ying is 27 or 28 years old, weak in appearance, but strong in heart. Her mother is bedridden and she has a younger brother. She supports the whole family alone.

Zhou Yun is an American, and her father is a Kuomintang officer. She is in contact with Geng Hua. Geng Hua is investigated by the organization and temporarily detained. He asked his sister to bring a message to Zhou Yun to express his feelings.

But Geng Ying persuaded Zhou Yun to leave for her brother.

Zhou Yun returned to the United States with a broken heart, which caused the five-year separation between the male and female protagonists.

Five years later, during the reform and opening up, the male and female protagonists met again in Lushan and officially confirmed their relationship. Zhou Yun found Geng Ying and had a conversation... In this way, the plot is much richer than the original, and the so-called sublimation falls on this conversation.

"Sublimation, sublimation, if you want sublimation, I will give you sublimation!"

"I will give you Lushan Dragon Ba!"

Chen Qi hummed while writing, as if he was back to the time when he stayed up late to write manuscripts in his previous life. He did write all night, because he didn't dare to slack off for fear of another accident.

From the operation point of view, it's not difficult. He is in this business himself, and has been impacted by countless floods in the information age. There is almost a treasure house hidden in his mind.

He knows what the audience in 1979 wants to see.

Wrap politics with love, and the political direction is extremely correct!

…………

"Knock, knock, knock!"

"Teacher Shi!"

The next morning, Chen Qi knocked on the door of the Literature Department. Shi Wenxin was shocked when she saw his appearance: "Xiao Chen, are you sick? Why are you so haggard?"

"No, no, I stayed up late to revise the manuscript."

"You said you are a kid, it's not one or two days, why are you in a hurry?"

"It doesn't matter, I'm young, what's there to worry about staying up late."

It's nothing but sudden death!

He handed the manuscript to the other party, deliberately shook it twice to show insufficient blood supply to the brain, and then left. Shi Wenxin felt a little guilty and said, "You shouldn't oppress a good seedling like this. Isn't that forcing it to grow?"

"Who would have thought he would be so active? He was so lazy before." Liang Xiaosheng was also surprised.

"Let me take a look first..."
