Back to 80: My Literary Life

Xiao Hua took it and took a look. Although she didn't understand film art, she also knew that this thing was a script and could be made into a movie.

"Why does Minghua write a script for you?" Xiao Hua asked in confusion.

"Didn't I tell you? Director Wu took me to have a meal with several writers that day. Minghua asked me to write a book for me at the wine table. I thought it was a novel, but I didn't expect it to be directly written into a script, and So fast." Zhang Yimou said with emotion.

"That Minghua is so kind to you."

"Yeah. I didn't expect that, I'm just an ordinary photographer." Zhang Yimou sighed.

"I think you are extraordinary! People must appreciate your talent! Look how great your movie "Yellow Earth" was!" Xiao Hua said.

"That's mainly about the ability to sing songs. I'm just a photographer." Zhang Yimou replied: "Okay, let's put it down first and get to work quickly, so as not to make my mother angry."

"Okay, you can look at it after you're done."

In the evening, the young couple went to bed. After his daughter fell asleep, Zhang Yimou turned on the light and picked up the script from the bedside table. He half-leaned on the bedside and read it carefully. Xiao Hua also leaned aside and watched.

"Is it about the teacher?" Xiao Hua asked.

"Yes, the writing is really good. There is warmth in the plainness. I think it will look great when photographed!" Zhang Yimou became excited again.

"But, you are just a photographer, not a director. Director Wei can let you film?" Xiao Hua thought of a question.

"It all depends on people. Besides, our factory manager Wei is a good person and appreciates me very much!" Zhang Yimou said while looking through it.

Seeing her husband's excitement, Xiao Hua suddenly thought of something: "Yimou, if you really become a great director, will you abandon me and my daughter when you get rich in the future?"

After hearing this, Zhang Yimou put down the script in his hand, gently put his arm around his wife's shoulders and said: "It was you and your parents who gave me the opportunity to go to college. You also saved money to support me in school. I will always be happy." I can’t forget it! It’s too late to be grateful, how could I abandon you?”

"That's good"

Xiao Hua leaned on Zhang Yimou's arm and looked at the red face of his daughter who was sleeping soundly.

I feel that I am the happiest woman in the world.

Fang Minghua received a reply from Zhang Yimou three days later. In the letter, Zhang Yimou said that he was very grateful to him. After returning to Guizhou Province, he persuaded Director Wei to establish the project and must make the film.

Finally, he added: "Editor Fang, the cost of the script will be sent to you after I return to Guangxi Province to establish the project. Don't worry, I will never default on you."

Fang Minghua smiled when he saw this.

Can Zhang Yimou get this script and go to the Guangxi Film Factory to get the project approved?

However, their factory director surnamed Wei is really good. He is comparable to Wu Tianming in terms of recognizing people and being a talented person, but he just doesn't know how to make movies.

It is said that in 1983, director Wei personally agreed to let Zhang Junzhao be the director, Zhang Yimou and Xiao Feng were the photographers, and He Qun was the art designer. These were shot less than a year after Yan Dian graduated, and the film "One and Eight" was changed by Guo Xiaochuan's poem. 》.

However, when the "debut film" was sent for review after filming, it encountered a large number of "human nature theories" in the literary and art circles. At that time, a national feature film studio director meeting was held in Yanjing, and "One and Eight" was regarded as a "spiritual pollution". A living target for critical criticism.

However, Director Wei supported them, saying that for such a group of young people who are ambitious and innovative, they should be cared for and cherished, and their achievements should be affirmed with enthusiasm, help them summarize and improve, and guide them to move forward. They must not be frustrated. Their positivity and creativity. If we don’t boldly let go and cultivate the younger generation, our film industry will have no future.

After several twists and turns, the film was released at the end of last year (84) and received acclaim. This marks the rise of the fifth generation of filmmakers.

It is indeed luck and a lifetime blessing for a young man who has just left school to meet such a leader.

Perhaps Zhang Yimou can really get the opportunity to direct independently?

Look at his fortune.

Fang Minghua no longer worries about this matter, but is preparing to restore the script into a novel.

On February 20th, the novel of more than 30,000 words was finally completed. Today is New Year’s Eve.

Fang Minghua turned off the computer and stretched.

Okay, let’s take care of the New Year.

I’m going to watch the Spring Festival Gala tonight.

However, the 1985 Spring Festival Gala turned out to be a nightmare.

One of the most basic reasons is that the director felt that everyone had watched the National Day military parade and the Olympic Games in Los Angeles, USA, where Chinese athletes had achieved good results. He felt that in a country with more than one billion people, it was too shabby to hold a Spring Festival Gala in a studio. In order to show the grandeur of the scene, so I chose the Capital Workers Stadium!

It can accommodate nearly 70,000 spectators!

Unfortunately, the technical conditions are not enough to support such a large-scale live TV program. There is no walkie-talkie and the lights are not working well.

In the huge Workers' Gymnasium, the scheduling completely failed, and the on-site conductor "became blind and deaf." There was no heating, the lights were dim, and due to poor connection, the show took six hours to complete. Although the old women's volleyball team was at its peak to help out, and big names such as Wang Mingquan joined the show, the Spring Festival Gala that year was still criticized as "low quality" and "disorganized". ".

It is said that the matter did not end there. The relevant departments sent several working groups to CCTV to inspect the quality of the party and other issues.

Fang Minghua watched the entire Spring Festival Gala at home. It was true that the production of the program was a mess, but as far as a single program was concerned, it was still quite exciting.

Xiangjiang singer Wang Mingquan sang the Cantonese version of "Love Is Always in Love", and a Chinese-American named Huang Jinbo sang the popular song "Descendants of the Dragon". Later I found out that he was actually the mayor of a city in California, USA.

Moreover, this Spring Festival Gala also issued an unprecedented "1985 Spring Festival Gala Sponsorship Voucher"!

The denomination is "one yuan", which is essentially equivalent to a lottery ticket.

The awards are set in groups of 100,000. The first prize is a 14-inch Panda color TV, the second prize is 10 bonus coins, the third prize is 100 silver coins, and the fourth prize is 1,000 copper coins. It will be held live at the Spring Festival Gala on February 19 Notarized lottery,

Fang Minghua enthusiastically bought ten commemorative coupons to see if he could win.

After the lottery numbers were announced, Fang Minghua discovered that the ten commemorative coupons he bought actually won the fourth prize!

Made of aluminum.

Damn it

Such bad luck? !

No, if you have a chance to buy one in the market, it might appreciate in value in the future.
