1979 Golden Age

Everyone dispersed, leaving only two people in the conference room.

Chen Huangmei smiled and said, "Your speech today was really eye-opening. Although I couldn't understand some of the content, I think you have a good spirit. Young people should have a positive fighting spirit."

"You are too kind. I was too reckless today. I was too shameless in front of so many seniors. I will apologize to them now!"

Chen Qi was about to leave, but was pulled back.

"Okay, okay, stop pretending!"

Chen Huangmei was speechless. He had never seen such a young comrade. He said, "But you are really bold. What if I really investigate your remarks?"

"Then I can only resign."

"Don't make movies anymore?"

"Go to Hong Kong. There are still people in Hong Kong who want me."

"So there is a way out..."

Chen Huangmei laughed. No wonder Wang Yang likes this kid so much. He is smart and not reckless. He said, "The content of today's meeting should be digested internally. After all, it will not be good for anyone if it is spread out. I have a question for you."

"You ask!"

"If there are always differences here, you What are you going to do? "

"..."

Chen Qi was silent for a while, and said the same thing to Fu Qi, saying: "Then I can only let it represent Hong Kong to go to sea, which will be a great regret."

"Oh, you think so."

"Okay, you go back, I will tell you when there is news."

"Then I'm leaving!"

After he left, Chen Huangmei sat alone in the conference room for a long time, thinking over and over again, and suddenly smiled: "I'm 69 years old, I'll do something before retiring, so that Old Wang won't laugh at me in the future."

Chen Qi came out of the Ministry of Culture and didn't want to wait for the news. Regardless of whether he agreed or not, he would prepare first.

To catch up with the progress, he went directly to Tian Zhuangzhuang.

…………

Beijing Film Studio, residential area.

Tian Zhuangzhuang was at home pleading with his mother Yu Lan, and it was so sad.

"Zhang's family is poor and his class background is not good. He is always discriminated against in school. He can't afford photography books, so he has to copy 200,000 words. I have taken care of him for the past four years. We are like brothers.

Kai Ge was assigned to your children's film studio, Li Shaohong came to Beijing Film Studio, and Gu Changwei went to Xi'an Film Studio. Zhang was left with nowhere to go. No one looked down on him. Only Guangxi Film Studio was willing to accept him.

What kind of place is Guangxi? Three films are made a year. How can he have a chance?

Why don't you accept him and let him be an assistant director in the children's film studio? At least he can stay in Beijing."

Yu Lan was very surprised. Her son was very rebellious. He asked her for help for the first time. She could only say: "Children's Film Studio is also a one-person job. As the director, I can't just ask whoever I want. I can only try my best."

"That's fine. Zhang is counting on you."

Tian Zhuangzhuang is absolutely loyal and has nothing to say to Zhang Yimou. Later, when he was assigned to Guangxi, Tian Zhuangzhuang often went a long way to visit him.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

"Old Tian, ​​are you home? I'm Chen Qi!"

As the mother and son were talking, the door rang. Tian Zhuangzhuang was startled and went to open the door: "Xiao Chen, why are you here?"

"I have something to do... Oh, you're here too, say hello!"

Chen Qi saluted Yu Lan, who said a few words and asked them to go into the house and talk.

After entering the bedroom, Chen Qi said: "I'll be frank! I'm preparing a movie and need a lot of manpower. You've almost graduated and been assigned, and I want to pick a few of you to come to the company."

Wow!

Tian Zhuangzhuang's eyes lit up, yes! How could he forget about the East Factory? Entering the East Factory also means staying in Beijing.

He thought about it and said: "Don't consider those who are assigned to the big factories. You still remember Zhang Yimou, you met him once, and only Guangxi Film Studio wanted him. What do you think of him?"

"He's from the photography department?"

Chen Qi recalled and asked.

"Yes, he has a great talent for photography."

"Sure, let's meet and talk. Are there any others?"

"There is also a student from the directing department named Zhang Junzhao and a student from the fine arts department named He Qun. They probably have to go to Guangxi. They don't want to go either and want to stay in Beijing."

"No problem, let's meet together. I want both if they are suitable!"

"That's great. I'll find one for you right away."

…………

Chen Qi returned to Lechunfang.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he shouted: "Xiao Dai? Xiao Dai?"

"I'm coming!"

Dai Hanhan rushed out of the room and said, "Teacher Chen, do you have any instructions?"

"Go get some wine and food. I'm going to treat 5-6 people tonight!"

"Oh, then buy some ready-made cooked food, pickles, some vegetables and meat, and we can cook it ourselves. It's no problem to make a table."

"You are quite thoughtful, aren't you?"

"It's my duty to help you solve your problems. I'll go first!"

Dai Hanhan ran away again. Chen Qi looked at her as if he was looking at his future office secretary.

He entered the backyard and saw the note left by Sister Xue. He simply cleaned up and waited for the guests to come in the evening.

He was in a very happy mood. In 1978, Beijing Film Academy enrolled students. After 4 years, the first batch of talents finally graduated. If he couldn't grab those talents who already had positions, could he grab graduates?

Personal opinions should also be considered in the allocation.

Needless to say, Zhang Yimou may be a hard-working director, but he is definitely a talented photographer. His first feature film "One and Eight" made him stand out in the film industry. After that, "Yellow Earth" and "The Great Parade" were both of high standard.

Zhang Junzhao is relatively unknown. He is the director of the fifth generation's pioneering work "One and Eight". Unfortunately, he didn't continue with the follow-up and went to shoot TV series.

He Qun is from the Department of Fine Arts and also participated in the above movies. Later, he switched to being a director and shot many dramas.

"ha!"

Chen Qiguang was about to laugh out loud just thinking about it, damn it! After a year of bare-bones command, we finally have strong soldiers and generals.

You know, when the fifth generation first came out, it was an alternative in the film industry, and most people didn't want to see it. If it wasn't appreciated by Bole, it was unclear whether it could get out. But now...

What does the avant-garde and boldness of the fifth generation mean in Dongchang?

The most avant-garde and bold guy in the country is sitting here!

…………

"6 p.m., No. 6, Lechunfang, don't be late!"

"Can't, can't!"

Tian Zhuangzhuang was really loyal and hurriedly found Zhang Yimou, Zhang Junzhao and He Qun, and rode away.

I originally wanted to go back to the Beijing Film Studio, but I thought about it halfway, changed my direction, and headed for the West City. Not long after, we arrived at the door of a studio with a sign: Beijing Science Education Film Studio.

Founded in 1960, as the name suggests, it specializes in making science and education films.

He spoke to the reception room, and after waiting for a long time, he saw a man wandering out. He was in his mid-twenties, very thin, with small eyes and glasses, and he had a strange appearance.

"Hey, this smells like seafood!"

Tian Zhuangzhuang fanned himself in disgust and said, "You went to sea again?"

"Well, I just came back. This time I was filming abalone farming. Don't tell me, I will raise it now."

This person's name is He Ping.

His father was originally the deputy director of Beijing Film Studio, and he was also a son, but he was not lucky enough and failed to get into Nortel that year. It happened that his father was transferred to this science and education film studio as the director, so he followed suit.

Now he is an assistant director. During the filming of "Abalone Farming", he continued to hone his shooting skills. His representative works include "The Swordsman of Two Flags Town" and "Heroes of Heaven and Earth".

When later generations talk about the fifth generation, He Ping is often excluded because he is not from a major and cannot be counted among that group.

But Tian Zhuangzhuang, as the boss of this group of people, was worried about everyone. He immediately explained the situation and advised: "How can you get ahead if you shoot abalones here? There is no one around Chen Qi, so there is no need to rank based on seniority. You can do it if you go there."

Your father is the director of the factory and can be transferred with just one sentence. What a great opportunity! "
