1979 Golden Age

Chengdu is still very straight now, not scattered everywhere.

There is a gymnasium in the north of the city. It used to be an open-air stadium, but it was converted into a gymnasium a few years ago. The various activities held are the childhood memories of many old Chengdu people. Fei Xiang also performed here.

At present, the stadium will usher in the most grand event to date: the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Award Ceremony.

As usual it is held on the 23rd, but today it is the 22nd.

The venue has been decorated. The most conspicuous thing is the rostrum. Behind the rostrum are the words "The Fifth Golden Rooster Award and the Eighth Hundred Flowers Awards Award Ceremony". On both sides are GG banners, which say a certain company, a certain company. A certain product...

It should have been strictly forbidden for outsiders to enter, but the door suddenly opened a crack and a few people walked in. The person in the lead was in his early 30s, and he had a very powerful face. The very powerful means that he has a unique idea and his own way of doing things.

He led a few people to sneak in, pointed at the museum and said with a smile: "How about you take a look? Put you in the best position so that the audience can see it and reporters can take pictures. When the newspapers and magazines publish it, it will be A very good GG effect.”

“If you want it, you must have it!”

"This arrangement is great!"

Several people were wearing long-sleeved shirts, each carrying a black leather bag, and black leather shoes. At first glance, they were the first batch of factory directors and general managers who started their business after the reform.

"Old Han, I didn't realize that you are good at organizing events!"

"It is not easy for us to hold large-scale events in Chengdu. Once the conference is over, you will become famous overnight!"

"I haven't even rushed out of Sichuan, it's still far away. When it comes to becoming famous, you have to be like Dongfang Company. Since we are all satisfied, can we sign the contract as soon as we get back?"

"Okay, okay!"

As soon as he heard the other party's answer, a smile appeared on his face, and the negotiation was finally concluded.

His name is Han Sanping.

The deputy director of Emei Film Studio is also appointed by the leadership as the main organizer of this year's Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards.

My parents are both veteran revolutionaries, and my father was the deputy mayor of Zigong, the city where dinosaur fossils were found, as well as the director of the Provincial Forestry Department and the director of the Provincial Science and Technology Commission.

There is a craze for supernatural powers in China. A few years ago, a young man named Tang Yu appeared in Chongqing who could read with his ears, causing a stir. It happened that his father was in charge of this aspect and met Tang Yu. However, after meeting Tang Yu, he asked the hospital to conduct a thorough investigation. He felt that the idea of ​​"early reading" was too unreliable.

Han Sanping joined the Emei Factory in 1977. He worked as a lighting engineer and field clerk, and in just five years he became the deputy factory director, in charge of production.

This person has connections and abilities, and has led the Emei Factory to achieve considerable improvements.

For example, studios across the country were undergoing reforms and were having a hard time, but Han Sanping was able to use various connections to find money to fill the factory's lack of funds.

When videotapes became popular in China, he had the audacity to set up a group and have a group of directors specialize in making non-film videotapes movies, with a cost of 50,000 to 60,000 yuan per film, and the filming was completed in one week.

The titles of the films are all like "Ghost" and "Dark Star". They focus on side projects, but the market is very good. The income from this alone is 4 million per year - in fact, this is what Chen Qi is doing now.

Later, Han Sanping was transferred to Beijing Film Studio, and his superiors were interested in this business ability.

At that time, Beijing Film Studio was about to collapse, and he could not save it, but he managed to keep it alive for several years until it was merged into China Film Studio.

Because he can suppress all kinds of conflicts. For example, when there was a dispute over housing allocation at Beijing Film Studio, an employee rushed into the office and said, "Will you give me a room allocation? If you don't, I will kill you!" Han Sanping quickly opened the drawer and took out a knife...

It's this kind of character.

At this time, he was just the deputy director of a local factory in southwest Anshan. It was through Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers that he gained some fame in the mainstream film industry.

…………

The next day came the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Award Ceremony.

This event changes location every year, which can directly prove the strength of the city, and no one wants to be embarrassed. Han Sanping spent a small amount of money to do big things, and came up with some new ideas on a stable basis, which satisfied most people.

Zhang Yimou's brothers are still preparing for "The Divine Whip", and Chen Qi has not made any domestic films. Gong Xue was nominated for "The Popular Red Dress on the Street", and she is pregnant again. No one from Dongchang came this year.

"Garland Under the Mountain" won four Golden Rooster Awards for best screenplay, leading actor, supporting actor, and editing.

The best director went to Ling Zifeng's "Border Town".

The best feature film went to Emei Factory's "Girl in Red."

Chen Kaige made his debut with "Yellow Earth" and was nominated for Best Photography. The photographer was originally Zhang Yi, who historically won the Golden Rooster Award. Nowadays, Zhang Yi does not have time to help Chen Kaige. "Yellow Earth" had a different photographer and was nominated, but did not win the award.

Lao Mouzi has a knack for capturing colors and grand scenes, but not just anyone can do it.

Pearl Film Studio's "Shan Ye Fish Stalls" won the Best Art Award, and it was well deserved. This film tells the story of unemployed young people who are self-employed selling fish. The crew built a street and arranged fish stalls, barbecue stalls, hair salons, fish belly noodle stalls, clothing stalls, etc.

The people believed it, and every day old ladies came to buy fish, and they got angry when they couldn't buy it.

These works add a lot of luster and buzz to the awards ceremony, but none of them can match the public attention on an award. When it was announced: "The most popular actress at this year's Hundred Flowers Awards is——"

The whole place was silent.

Unexpected and expected, I heard the announcement on the stage: "Gong Xue, "Red Dress Popular on the Street"!"

The director came on stage to accept the ceremony and read Gong Xue's letter of thanks.

"...Everything is fine for me now, and I am looking forward to a new identity with joy... People outside always say that I have retired, but I have not retired, I am just taking a short break. I hope to meet the audience again, and I hope you can still be like this Support me and like me..."

Check out the correct version one by one!

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

There seemed to be a sense of relief in the applause of all the people. From the organizers to the leaders, from colleagues to reporters, they all felt the same: It’s finally over!

The dark clouds hanging over the heads of domestic actresses have finally dissipated. They have complicated thoughts. This is something they don't actively want. They are giving birth to children.

In history, Feng Xiaogang has won the most Hundred Flowers Awards, including three Best Directors and five Best Films.

Then there is Zhang Yi, who won six Best Pictures and one Best Director.

Then there’s Liu Xiaoqing, who won three consecutive awards for Supporting Actress, Lead Actress and a Lifetime Achievement Award. She went into business in 1990, bid farewell to the film industry, and focused on TV series. Therefore, the Hundred Flowers Award in 1992 gave her a Lifetime Achievement Award.

If Gong Xue doesn't have any works, maybe Baihua will give him a special award. But someone else had a work in the competition, and "Red Dress Fashioned on the Street" was voted for, so I had to give it.

Winning the Hundred Flowers Award five times in a row is unprecedented and destined to be unprecedented.

No one believed that such a situation would happen again in the future.

…………

That night.

Han Sanping returned to the dormitory very late after attending the reception banquet.

He was in a good mood. He signed contracts with several factory directors, received sponsorship fees, and had funds for filming in the second half of the year. But then I got a headache again because next year’s is not available yet.

"Hey, what kind of day is this? It's so delicious."

"If you can borrow less, take less loans, otherwise the burden will be too heavy... Dongfang Company still has the money!"

Han Sanping sat on the chair and let out a sigh from the smell of alcohol. He envied Dongfang Company's free management rights and really wanted to meet the legendary guy. Unfortunately, he didn't come to Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers, not even his wife.

Of course, he was not sure whether the two had a common language and whether they could talk to each other.

"..."

Han Sanping suddenly raised his head and glanced at the portraits of teachers posted on the dormitory wall.

He had been a soldier before. Whether he was a soldier or making a movie, the teacher's portrait was a must-have item. And his biggest wish was to make a movie about teachers - and he did make it, "The Teacher's Story" in 1992. The script alone took a year to change.

He also conspired with Jiang Wen to make a gift film for the 120th anniversary of the teacher's birth. Jiang Wen played the teacher, but the film failed.

Han Sanping felt that Dongfang Company was awesome, but too Westernized, and he was not sure what kind of thinking Chen Qi was.

(There will be more tonight...)
