1979 Golden Age

Behind the main building of Beijing Film Studio is the No. 1 studio, which covers an area of ​​5,000 square meters and is known as the largest in Asia.

There is a large open space behind the studio, with residential buildings on both sides. The open space has been separated by baffles and surrounded by a construction site. The workers are busy and the prototype of an old street has been formed.

This is the Xisi Pailou Street to be built in "Camel Xiangzi". It has been a prosperous place since the Ming Dynasty, with many shops and a constant flow of people and vehicles.

Chen Qi and Li Wenhua stood aside, watching the workers working. After a while, he said, "Director Li, do you want to hold another meeting to discuss the selection of the heroine?"

"What to discuss?"

"See who is suitable!"

"..."

Li Wenhua suddenly rolled his eyes and said, "Look at your description yourself. The heroine has congenital deficiencies, is weak and sickly, and is a sickly person. In order to avoid dragging others down, she is quite old and has never married.

She is born with curved eyebrows and beautiful eyes, gentle and intelligent. Although she is not good at martial arts, she has strong theoretical knowledge. After being rescued by the male protagonist, she fell in love with him and taught him the essence of Tai Chi. The two of them are like siblings. Name... Is there any need to discuss this? Every stroke is the word Gong Xue!

Xiao Chen, I am really surprised.

When others write scripts, the crew has to spend a lot of effort to select actors. Why do those people look like they grew up according to your description when you write the script? "

"Hehe, maybe it's a coincidence!"

"One person is a coincidence, two, three, four are also coincidences?"

"Then can you explain it?"

"Forget it, I have been in the industry for decades anyway, and this is the first time I believe that there are evil things in this world."

"Then do you agree to let Gong Xue be the heroine?"

"If you change the script, I agree." Li Wenhua snorted.

At this time, the status of the screenwriter is revealed. As long as the script is set, unless the screenwriter changes it himself, the general director cannot touch it. Chen Qi was very happy. It was good to be a cultural person in the 1980s. You didn't have to crawl on the ground...

"Director Li!"

"Xiao Chen!"

At this time, someone came to report: "Several actors have arrived and are in the guesthouse."

"Well, we'll go there now!"

As they said that, the two hurried back and went up to the fourth floor of the guesthouse. They saw that several doors were open and went into a room first. Yu Hai and Sun Jiankui were packing things inside.

"Coach Yu! Jiankui!"

"You guys are here. This is our first time in a film studio. We are unfamiliar with the place and very nervous." Yu Hai said.

"It's better to be familiar with it the first time. Don't pack up yet. I'll take you to meet some colleagues!"

The two led them into the second room, where Ge Chunyan and Huang Qiuyan were sitting and chatting.

Chen Qi called everyone together and said with a smile: "Come on, come on, the head coach of the Shandong team, Comrade Yu Hai! Comrade Sun Jiankui... These two are from the Beijing team, one uses Baguazhang and the other uses double swords."

"Hello, hello, I met you at the National Games."

"He is Chen Zhengying, and this is Xiaotao, your daughter's personal maid. You two are employees of Prince Duan, one guards the third floor and the other guards the fifth floor, get closer."

Sun Jiankui and Ge Chunyan looked at each other, but there was no ripple. Martial arts are also considered sports, and competitive sports are different for men and women, and each competes in their own way. If a man and a woman fight, it's called [モザイク棊版] Fallen Female Investigator...

In the third room, Li Lianjie, wearing a blue sportswear, was talking to Wang Qun: "Hong Kong people are not reliable. They asked me to film "Shaolin Temple", but I didn't become a monk, but practiced Tai Chi first. What kind of thing is this?"

"Since I'm here, I'll just shoot it. It's all movies anyway."

"It's different!"

Li Lianjie jumped onto the bed, as nimble as a monkey, and whispered: "The subsidy for "Shaolin Temple" is one yuan a day, and the amount for "Tai Chi" has not been determined yet. If it's fifty cents, I'll earn dozens less in a few months of filming."

"So much difference?"

Wang Qun also cared. Although he is the eldest brother, Li Lianjie is the most insightful in the entire martial arts team when it comes to making money and wealth concepts.

Because his father died early, he had two older brothers and two older sisters, and they all relied on their mother's meager salary to support them. He was lucky to join the martial arts team and started to calculate his seniority at the age of 11. He had to earn money to support his family since he was a child, and he attached great importance to this aspect.

By the way, there are always rumors about his grandfather's identity, but there is no evidence...

"We are chatting, is this room okay?"

As he was talking, Chen Qi, Yu Hai and others came in. Li Lianjie jumped off the bed again and was very enthusiastic: "It's very good, it's my first time staying in the guesthouse of the film studio, and it feels very good."

He also talked to Yu Hai.

The martial arts circle is small, and there are even fewer people who can participate in the competition. They know each other, but they are not familiar with each other.

When Li Lianjie heard that Yu Hai played Chen Zhengying, he smiled and said, "That's my master and father-in-law. Please take good care of him!"

He showed a cleverness far beyond his peers, but in some aspects he was very straightforward. After chatting for a while, he called Li Wenhua outside and asked secretly, "Director, how much subsidy do you give?"

"Uh..."

Li Wenhua was stunned by such a straightforward question and said, "Shaolin Temple gave one dollar, so of course we also give one dollar."

"Does it mean we get one dollar for the leading role, or for everyone?"

"The crew treats everyone equally, and we all get one dollar!"

"Oh oh!"

Li Lianjie nodded and went in.

Chen Qi watched from the side and didn't communicate with him too much. There would be plenty of opportunities in the future, but he had already judged the other party's character from these few words, and sighed that it was no wonder that he ended up like that.

Character really determines fate.

It cost him one yuan a day to shoot "Shaolin Temple", and later "Shaolin Boys" and "North and South Shaolin", which turned into two yuan a day, but those in Hong Kong paid 50 yuan for lying on the ground and pretending to be a corpse.

In order to earn the 50 yuan, he put on makeup and pretended to be a dead body.

At that time, someone in Hong Kong offered him 3 million for a movie, but the martial arts team wouldn't let him go. Comparing the two sides, it was inevitable that he would have some ideas.

It’s okay to call him selfish, snobbish, and a sophisticated egotist. Human nature is what it is. His real black material is a series of subsequent operations, including the One Fund and his belief in Buddhism. I won’t go into details here because of my sensitivity.

The two met the actors. As soon as they left the guest house, Li Wenhua sighed: "The subsidy is one yuan a day, the highest in the country. We have a big tree that attracts the wind, and we don't know how many jealous people there are!"

"Mediocre people don't get jealous. It's normal."

Chen Qi didn't care and said with a smile: "The most important thing now is to shoot the show well. In front of Zuo (wai) product (Hui), all reactionaries are paper tigers!"

"You are more free and easy than me, okay, you can do the trick well!"

…

Yuan Heping has to wait for the filming to start before joining the team, and now it is intensive training.

These people were all non-professional actors, and they had to be taught some basic common sense. So when spring was blooming in the capital, the main creators came to the Beijing Film Studio one after another and organized a training class for more than a dozen people.

Team leader Li Wenhua and deputy team leader Chen Qi.

In the group, there are all national martial arts champions, runner-ups, and at worst provincial competition champions. Only Ji Chunhua has no honor. This old boy can’t hold his head high, but he feels that he has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders: he represents Zhejiang, so he must not be embarrassed!

Others have similar ideas. Those from Beijing, Shandong, and Guangxi must win glory. If you lose face, you will lose the face of your hometown!

Chen Qi felt this high-spirited spirit and was so happy: "I have never seen such a scene in the future. The crappy crew I was with, except for the kissing scene, they were all stand-ins.

The fight scenes are all slow-motion special effects, he can't even dance the sword flower, and he doesn't even have the grace to walk, as if he's carrying a turtle shell on his back.

This is called the Dragon-Tiger Meeting in Beijing! "
