Rebirth of Siheyuan starts in the 1980s

Next, the closing banquet continued, and because of Cao Zhiqiang’s previous speech, the atmosphere was particularly good. Many interested people rushed over to toast Cao Zhiqiang.

Even those who don't want to change jobs still come to toast Cao Zhiqiang. This is not only a matter of politeness, but also to make good friends and consolidate connections.

You know, by now, people who are interested already know a lot about Cao Zhiqiang's situation.

To these filmmakers, Cao Zhiqiang's identity as a poet and singer is actually nothing. What really makes people fear or respect is his identity as the president of a publishing house and the director of a film studio.

Let’s not mention the publishing house. After all, it has something to do with the film and television industry, but not much.

But as the director of a film studio, that's different.

Even if Cao Zhiqiang's director of the film studio seems to be very weak at the moment, with nothing but empty airs, and can even be said to be a polished commander, that is still extraordinary.

The biggest question is how he could get a film studio license and become the director of a film studio!

This is not just about having money, you also have to have power and people!

At the very least, you must have a good relationship with the director of the Film Bureau, because only the director of the Film Bureau has the authority to issue film studio licenses.

In fact, although there are currently many film studios in the Republic, they are not all of the nature of public institutions like the Beijing Film Studio, but also of the nature of the military, such as the Bayi Film Studio. However, since the opening of the country, we have never heard of any new film studios.

It was opened as a corporate film studio.

Although some people have been rumoring that in the future the film studio will undergo reforms and transform its business into an enterprise, but that is just hearsay.

But now a corporate film studio suddenly appeared, still operating under a contracting model, which made people think a lot.

In other words, many people here have complicated thoughts about Cao Zhiqiang and the Hongguang Film Factory behind him. They think that Hongguang Film Factory is a reform pilot specially launched by the Film Bureau, and Cao Zhiqiang is just the person who pushed it to the front. In fact, the Film Bureau stands behind it.

This great god.

If the reform is successful and proves that a film studio with an enterprise system and a contract operation system can create brilliance and be responsible for its own profits and losses, then it is estimated that it will be gradually promoted to other units.

As a reform pilot, a lot of resources will inevitably be allocated. If it is done well, you may be able to reap a wave of reform dividends.

Just like Shenzhen and Hainan now.

Even if you don’t want to follow the team and reap the bonuses, you will not suffer any loss if you establish a good relationship with Cao Zhiqiang, the man in front of the stage, in advance.

After all, in the film and television industry, you help me, I help you, no one knows what will happen in the future. Many friends are better than many enemies, so it is particularly important to make money through harmony, especially in the 1980s when people were generally not wealthy.

Otherwise, people in the capital love to think blindly, and they can think of big national issues.

Thanks to the brainstorming of these people, everyone is rushing to get close to Cao Zhiqiang, a young man who is only 19 years old.

As for Cao Zhiqiang, he accepted everyone who came at first, but soon he couldn't hold it any longer.

Just kidding, there are so many people, and if each person has a glass of wine, how many glasses of wine will it cost?

The key point is that when many people come, it’s not just one glass of wine, but three glasses of white wine!

What kind of beer? If you use tea instead of wine, it won't work, so you have to drink white, or else you won't be given noodles!

More importantly, Cao Zhiqiang is still a young man, and young people cannot shirk it.

In desperation, Cao Zhiqiang had no choice but to drink when anyone came, and drank until he became dizzy.

Even if Xu Qingdong, Zhu Lin and others blocked the toast for Cao Zhiqiang, there were too many people coming to toast, so they couldn't stop him much.

Finally, Cao Zhiqiang found that he had a splitting headache, but there was an endless stream of people coming to toast. He was so frightened that he half-awake, and then he excused himself to the toilet and took a pee.

Cao Zhiqiang's original idea was to go to the toilet to pee and then sneak away.

But who knew, because I drank too much this time, as soon as I entered the public toilet, I was overwhelmed by the smell of the toilet, and my stomach immediately turned upside down, and I vomited immediately.

But don't mention it, after vomiting, although his feet and legs were weak, his mind was much clearer and he no longer had a splitting headache.

At this time, Cao Zhiqiang finally understood that he was not suitable for such a crowded banquet.

For people like him, this kind of banquet is not just for eating, but for drinking, or in other words, being spoiled.

Think about it, usually the leader is aloof, but only at this kind of banquet, the people below can take the opportunity to get the leader drunk and take the opportunity to vent their anger.

Well, Cao Zhiqiang thinks this is the truth anyway.

It can only be said that the current culture of toasting at banquets is indeed a bad habit, especially for a leader like him, which is quite unfriendly.

No wonder those who are leaders at this time must be able to drink. Those who cannot drink will really not be able to hold on.

After Cao Zhiqiang finished vomiting, he shook his head and staggered out of the toilet, only to find someone waiting outside. Who else could it be if it wasn't Zhu Lin?

"Sister Zhu?" Cao Zhiqiang was stunned.

"Ah!" When Zhu Lin saw Cao Zhiqiang, he immediately ran over, directly supported Cao Zhiqiang and said, "Zhiqiang, are you okay? Your face is a little blue."

Cao Zhiqiang smiled bitterly.

But no, I just vomited so much and my legs are still soft and my feet are weak. How can my face get better?

Thinking of this, Cao Zhiqiang sighed: "I vomited for a while just now, which made Sister Zhu laugh."

Having said this, Cao Zhiqiang pushed Zhu Lin's hand away: "Don't touch me, I just vomited and I'm dirty."

Immediately afterwards, Cao Zhiqiang, who pushed Zhu Lin away, started to walk forward on his own. However, after taking only two steps, his footsteps faltered and he stumbled.

Fortunately, Zhu Lin had quick eyesight and helped Cao Zhiqiang, and Cao Zhiqiang did not fall to the ground.

"Look at you!" Zhu Lin, who had a slightly red face, said slightly unhappily, "What can you do if you can't drink? Well, don't go back. I'll take you back to the hotel to rest."

Cao Zhiqiang thought for a while: "Okay, but where is the wedding banquet?"

"You're like this, and you still want to wrap up the wedding banquet?" Zhu Lin shook his head in amusement, "There's Director Xu over there. He can't make a mistake, so you don't have to worry."

Cao Zhiqiang nodded: "By the way, Sister Zhu, why did you come here? Did you also go to the toilet?"

Zhu Lin smiled: "I'm worried about you, so I came here to see you?"

"You are worried about me and looking for me?" Cao Zhiqiang frowned, "Then why don't you let someone else come? At least let a man come."

"The men can't come." Zhu Lin shook his head, "You don't know, our table is having a drink with someone, and the men won't be allowed to leave unless they drink.

I'm different, I'm a lesbian, I don't have to drink, I don't have to be so particular, I can come and go as I please."

Upon hearing this, Cao Zhiqiang nodded.

Indeed, today’s wine table culture really treats women particularly favorably.

Because the drinking during this period was only for men. Women did not need to drink. They usually drank drinks and tea.

Of course, if you are a woman, it is not impossible to have to drink with others, but you have to bear the consequences yourself.

In short, as a woman, you can refuse to drink alcohol at this time. If you don’t drink, others won’t say anything about you.

But if you are a man and someone asks you to drink, and you have to push them away, that means you are not giving them face.

Unless you don't drink in the first place, for example because you are sick or something.

"What's more," Zhu Lin said, "If I don't come to the toilet to look for you, a group of old men will look for you. By then, you won't be able to escape, and you will be captured by them and taken back to the wine shop to continue drinking.

.”

Cao Zhiqiang nodded.

Indeed, if Zhu Lin came to use the toilet and stood guard at the door of the toilet, then there would be differences between men and women, and a group of men would be too embarrassed to come and rob him.

Therefore, Zhu Lin was actually holding the door for himself to prevent men with bad intentions from rushing in.

Zhu Lin is a woman and a heroine. She has a certain status and identity. If she holds the toilet door, it will be effective.

"Sister Zhu, thank you very much." Cao Zhiqiang said gratefully, "You are so considerate."

Zhu Lin supported Cao Zhiqiang and said: "It's okay, it's all as it should be."

After a pause, Zhu Lin helped Cao Zhiqiang to a telegraph pole: "Zhiqiang, you are leaning against the pole and waiting. I will go in and tell people so that others will not know that you and I are gone."

"Okay." Cao Zhiqiang nodded, leaning against the telephone pole.

Only then did Zhu Lin let go of his hand, and then trotted back to the banquet venue.

And looking at Zhu Lin's running back, for some reason, maybe because he was drunk, Cao Zhiqiang suddenly felt particularly beautiful.

After swallowing subconsciously, Cao Zhiqiang quickly shook his head: "What are you thinking about? Don't think nonsense. She is much older than you. Wake up!"

After thinking about this, Hu Qiang quickly gave himself a slap in the face and then regained consciousness.

But soon, Zhu Lin's voice and smile entered his mind again, and he couldn't stop it.

So, Cao Zhiqiang simply gave up and just thought about it. It's not a crime to think about it.

Moreover, Cao Zhiqiang even excused himself.

He thinks this is normal.

After all, he has been filming with Zhu Lin during this period. During this period, he had frequent and close contact. Not to mention the close contact during the acting process, even outside the scene, he often talked to Zhu Lin about the scenes.

After a long period of close contact, he is young and energetic, so it would be false to say that there is no place for feelings.

Not to mention that actors are easily moved by emotions, but in fact, this profession is indeed easy to be moved by emotions.

Especially when filming such a deeply emotional love scene, it is normal to be emotional.

If you want to leave, I'm afraid it will take a long time to adapt.

"So, everything is normal, no big deal."

After convincing himself with words again, Cao Zhiqiang began to take deep breaths with his eyes closed, and at the same time began to think desperately about other things, hoping to dilute the lingering emotional factors by thinking about other things.

He has many things on his mind, such as releasing a new book, releasing a new album, going to Japan next, etc.

First is the issue of new books.

Since the publication of "Jiang Hu Xing", the domestic market has almost been saturated. Although there are still shipments, it has no longer the momentum that people rushed to buy it at the beginning.

According to the news from the publishing house, from August to now, the total number of copies issued of "Jianghu Xing" has been less than one million, only a little over 980,000. It seems that the bonus period has come to an end.

.

However, the inertia of books is relatively long, usually lasting about half a year, but explosive growth is impossible.

The publishing house estimates that by September, the popularity of "Journey of Jianghu" will gradually subside, and the final sales volume will be between 4.5 million and 6 million units. This is already a relatively optimistic estimate.

On the other hand, "Blooming Life" has become more and more popular recently.

The bonus period for records is actually shorter. Normally, the time for popular songs to become popular is usually one to three months, but some special editions of good records can last longer.

For example, "A Game, a Dream" by Wang Jie in his previous life once dominated the popular song rankings in Baodao for half a year and sold 18 million records in less than a year.

But no matter what, when a pop song is most popular, it must be in the first three months after it is released, and the peak is often in the second month, and then gradually declines, and few can maintain the peak for two or three months.

By the way, they are all superstars.

As for Cao Zhiqiang's "Blooming Life", it has been released for two months now. It is said that the popularity should have started to decline, but who knows, not only has the popularity not declined, but it has become higher and higher.

Especially the entire month of August can be called a blooming August.

Because during August, "Blooming Life" is played in the streets and alleys across the country, and even other popular songs from Hong Kong and Taiwan cannot stop the frenzy of blooming.

It can truly be said that as soon as it comes out in full bloom, all the songs will change!

Of course, the sales volume is also very good.

Just the day before yesterday, Chen Jiabang called him and told him that an album like "Blooming Life" had sold more than nine million copies in China, which was unprecedented.

And even though the sales volume is so terrible, the supply is still in short supply everywhere. It is said that large-scale pirated records have begun to appear in the south.

In fact, I heard that even the Chinese circles in Baodao and Southeast Asia have begun to become popular with his songs, and his "Blooming" has truly gone abroad.

Is this news? Cao Zhiqiang believes that after all, these days, pop music is very corrosive. Not only overseas will corrode domestic music, but good domestic songs will also corrode foreign countries.

For example, Cao Zhiqiang knew that about two or three years after his previous life, there was a mainland female singer named Zhang Qiang who used her singing to help mainland songs go abroad. She even made Zhang Qiang the first person to be on the charts because of her great influence.

Chinese Artists by Time Magazine.

In this world, Cao Zhiqiang doesn't know whether Zhang Qiang will appear again, but what he knows is that as long as he works a little harder, he will be the number one person in the Chinese music scene in the 1980s.

There is no way, who knows that Cao Zhiqiang never fights alone.

From the beginning to the end, Cao Zhiqiang was burdened with the database of many well-known works, and then cheated and fought.

He seems to be one person, but in fact he is the crystallization of the wisdom of many later generations of talented musicians. He is equivalent to taking an entire era of famous works from later generations and coming here to carry out dimensionality reduction attacks.

Specifically, he has the backing of classic songs by so many celebrities in later generations, and he has excellent talents and skills provided by the system. In addition, he has his own performing arts platform and distribution platform. So many innate and acquired factors add up.

, if your grades are poor, that would be unreasonable.

Therefore, even though the sales of nine million copies in two months is terrifying, looking at Cao Zhiqiang's conditions, he feels that this result is just average.

Don’t forget the country’s population base and the number of tape recorders in existence.

The sales volume of nine million records is really a drizzle in China.

In addition, limited by domestic consumption power, although the sales volume of records is not small, when it comes to making money, it is actually not much.

During this period, if you really want to find a way to make money, you should come up with English songs and break into mainstream Western society. That is the best way to really make money.

There is no way, who makes the Westerners the richest now?

However, this kind of thing must be done slowly. We must first find an opportunity to capture the Japanese market.

Therefore, this trip to Japan must be carefully planned, and this precious opportunity to go abroad cannot be wasted.
