1979 Golden Age

Chapter 604 Dream of the Red Chamber Study Class

The grass grows long and warblers fly, and the willow trees in the capital are green again.

The Old Summer Palace has been designated as a heritage park and is undergoing some restoration work. Tickets have not yet been released to the public. Early in the morning, a van parked at the door of a guest house behind Dashuifa.

The guest house is very old, with rows of bungalows, remote and quiet.

Seeing a car coming, many young and beautiful girls ran out and looked around curiously. I saw the car door open, and first a chubby girl of the same age jumped out, and then a strong woman in her 20s. Her mental appearance made it clear that she was a strong woman.

Finally, a handsome and handsome gay man.

"Who are they? Are they also potential actors?"

"Impossible. Which of us came by car? That man is so handsome, even more handsome than Fei Xiang!"

"I look like a reporter, here for an interview... Hey, Director Wang is out!"

Sure enough, Wang Fulin came out to greet him in person, but he didn't dare to rely on it. He relied on his early relationship with Chen Qi to become friends. He chatted and laughed with the leader, and the minister made tea. How could he get a mere TV series director?

"That's what it is, I'll give her to you."

"Hello, Director Wang!"

Wang Fulin looked at He Qing. Although there was baby fat on his face, his features and temperament were first-class beauty. He praised: "You are more beautiful than on the screen, but you also have to study. We can't drop an actor out of thin air." Just give it the role.”

"I will study hard, don't worry!" He Qing said.

She is 20 years old this year. She officially left the Kunqu Opera Troupe and joined the Oriental Company. It's not that Chen Qi doesn't want to be reused, the key is that she is now chubby and hasn't grown out yet, so she can only play the role of a little girl.

He Qing didn't reach the peak of her beauty until she was 27 years old, and her flowering period was extremely long, beating Chen Hong.

And he introduced: "This is Yu Jiajia, a reporter from China Youth Daily. She is a good friend of mine. Come for an interview!"

"Hello hello!"

Wang Fulin quickly shook hands and said: "Our study class has just started and there is nothing there. You may be laughing!"

"What you're seeing is the original flavor. Can you take me to have a look around and let's chat while we walk?"

"well!"

So, Wang Fulin called a staff member to take He Qing to register for accommodation first, while the remaining three people strolled slowly.

Let’s talk about He Qing first.

She was led to a four-bed room, and the girls all ran to look and chirped: "Hello, my name is Deng Jie, how did you come by car? Who are those two people?"

"My name is Dongfang Wenying. I am 21 years old. How old are you?"

"Hey, hey, why do you look familiar to me? Have you ever made a movie?"

He Qing is not a social fear, he is very lively, and said with a smile: "I have filmed "Tai Chi 2", and I played the double-faced Bodhisattva in it. I am 20 years old this year, and I am very happy to join this group."

"Wow! Tai Chi!"

The girls screamed that the "Tai Chi" series is currently equivalent to the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the 1980s. And most of them are amateurs with no acting experience. They are female workers in leather shoe factories, operators in communes, members of acrobatic troupes, and so on...

He Qing was also very proud and said, "That gay man is Teacher Chen Qi. Have you heard of it?"

"The famous screenwriter!"

"Leader of Eastern Company!"

"Won the Golden Bear!"

"Gong Xue's lover!"

"Spring Festival Gala!"

There was the sound of frogs again, and He Qing fell in like a phoenix, and everyone was extremely envious.

But said the other side.

Wang Fulin accompanied Chen Qi and Yu Jiajia to visit, watching and interviewing them.

"What's your budget for this show?"

"3.5 million!"

"Did CCTV call it?"

"How can there be money in Taiwan? The Radio and Television allocated 3.5 million to us." Wang Fulin said.

"There should be money in the station, but Teacher Chen robbed too much, and the station has no money. I don't know how much he will be hated by CCTV for selling tapes!"

Yu Jiajia was happy, but Chen Qi kicked her: "Why do you talk about this if you are doing a good interview?"

Wang Fulin remained silent. He did not dare to get involved in the conflicts above. In fact, he was a little surprised. Why did Chen Qi come here in person just to express his love? Not likely.

The courtyard of this guest house is quite large. The three of them are walking around, and little heads pop up to watch at any time. These girls are all in their teens or early twenties, and they are all natural. There is also a lot of little buried baggage:

For example, Chang'e in "Journey to the West" was first recorded on the set of "A Dream of Red Mansions".

"Director Wang, let me remind you that your 3.5 million may not be enough."

"I know it well, I'll know it after watching Yang Jie shoot "Journey to the West", but let's film it now and figure out a way later." Wang Fulin sighed.

"When will it be turned on?"

"It's going to be the second half of the year."

"How is Bao Daichai?"

"Baochai and Daiyu have some good prospects, but Jia Baoyu has no clue at all. They are too difficult to find. We are even studying whether to use actresses..."

As he was speaking, he was suddenly interrupted by a burst of laughter like silver bells.

The laughter seemed to come from a very far away place, but it also seemed very close. Two figures, one behind the other, ran out of the side door.

"Xiaoxu, don't run!"

"Come and catch me!"

Two figures flashed past my eyes, like two butterflies that paused among the flowers and disappeared again. Chen Qi suddenly became sentimental, alas, my beautiful and lovely ex-wives! !

He and Yu Jiajia went around in a big circle.

Yu Jiajia did ask a lot of questions and took some photos. They didn't stay for lunch and left. Wang Fulin never understood why Chen Qi came here.

…………

Of course he understood the next day.

Because China Youth Daily published an article about the preparation of the TV series of "Dream of Red Mansions", which was relatively rational and encouraging, but at the end it wrote a paragraph: "The reporter interviewed Comrade Chen Qi, the head of Dongfang Company, who said that there may be plans to prepare a movie version of "Dream of Red Mansions"!"

Bang bang bang!

In an instant, Wang Fulin heard the sound of his heart beating, and pursed his lips tightly, fearing that his heart would jump out as soon as he opened his mouth. If Dongfang Company makes movies, then what's the point of making TV series?

At the same time.

The new issue of "Popular Movies" was published, and there was an article by Chen Qi on it, "A Brief Discussion on How to Bring Dream of Red Mansions to the Big Screen".

With these two things as evidence, the domestic literary and art circles were like being poured with a pot of boiling water, and they became lively all of a sudden.

"Full support! If there is still a filming unit in China that can make a movie of Dream of Red Mansions, it must be Dongfang Company!"

"Oppose! Strongly oppose! How can Dream of Red Mansions be handed over to a commercial company full of money?"

"Can a company with money smell win the Golden Bear Award? It's clearly opposing for the sake of opposing!"

They quarreled first. Who? Of course, it was the Redology scholars.

Since the reform and opening up, there has been a constant voice to film Dream of Red Mansions. Countless directors were eager to make a move, but eventually gave up. Because Dream of Red Mansions has too high a literary status, too difficult, and the story is not complete, the Redology scholars alone can fight with each other.

Over time, Dream of Red Mansions has become a difficult problem. Everyone wants to film it, but no one dares to film it.

CCTV's preparation of the TV series has already stimulated some people, and Chen Qi fanned the flames, which made the situation very heated. But he doesn't care about Redology or not. How much foreign exchange can Redology scholars earn? Can they export culture?

He is happy to watch the fun.

Others thought that he really wanted to shoot the film, and everyone from their superiors to their relatives and friends came to persuade him, saying that it was too difficult, but if he wanted to shoot it, they would support him - this was the reputation he had accumulated over the years, and Oriental Company had never produced a bad film.
