Chapter 674: Protect Him

Some directors reach their creative peak earlier, while others arrive later.

Xie Tieli was earlier. He didn't make any good films in the 1980s, and he was even less sure about "Dream of Red Mansions." For example, if Tao Huimin is cast as Lin Daiyu, she has a round face; if Fu Yiwei is cast as Xue Baochai, she has a thin face.

They also found an actress to play the role of Jia Baoyu. The reason was that the filming would take five years, and if they found a teenage actor, they would have grown and changed a lot.

Wang Xifeng played by Liu Xiaoqing is not good either, she doesn't look like a girl from a wealthy family.

This version of "Dream of Red Mansions" has a total of six parts, two of which are part one and part two, for a total of eight parts and cost 12 million. Beijing Film Studio received a loan of 6 million, and China Film Group paid 6 million, but nothing was left behind and the impression was vague.

Gong Xue declined the invitation, but did not ignore it.

She silently followed the progress of "Dream of Red Mansions" and the factory's expenses, and inadvertently inquired about the news. She heard that Hu Qiming had signed a loan contract and made the first payment.

Since there will be no funds allocated next year, the factory must first prepare part of next year's expenses, especially the wages of a thousand employees and the pensions of retirees, which will cost 100,000 yuan a month, which is more than 1 million yuan a year.

"Loan to pay wages?"

Gong Xue was very surprised when she heard the news. She felt that from this moment on, the Beijing Film Studio had been abandoned, and the rest was just a struggle.

She compiled these things and wrote to Chen Qi from time to time.

In the blink of an eye, November has entered, and winter heating has begun, and the advantages of installing heating in the building have suddenly become apparent. The work unit burned the boiler very hard. The room was very warm. After sleeping, my throat became dry, so I had to take a basin of water and put it on the ground.

That's better than a courtyard with a stove and air leakage from all sides.

Gong Xue's mother is also here now. Accompanied by her own mother, she is peacefully at home in Maodong. She listens to music, practices calligraphy and painting, and raises flowers. She doesn't think about any work and is extremely happy.

In 1961, the Workers' Stadium was built in Beijing to host the 26th World Table Tennis Championships.

Unlike the Workers' Stadium, the stadium is covered. But there is no heating inside, let alone air conditioning, and it is very cold in winter.

At this moment, Huang Yihe, his loyal friends Ma Ji and Jiang Kun, all wearing large cotton-padded jackets, were watching a program rehearsal in the gymnasium. The dancers on the stage were wearing thin ancient costumes, shivering while dancing.

"Okay! That's all. Let's get dressed first and stay warm!"

Huang Yihe shouted with a loudspeaker. When he saw the actors running off the stage as if they were fleeing, he couldn't help but look sad: "I feel bad!"

"Just do your best!" Ma Ji said.

"Yes, do your best!" Jiang Kun said.

After all, everyone sighed.

Some movies you know are bad halfway through the filming, and some shows you know are going to be bad halfway through the show.

The first thing to consider when putting the Spring Festival Gala in a stadium is the temperature. New Year’s Eve in February is the coldest time. Then there is no walkie-talkie, lighting and sound equipment. It was a good idea before, but it was all useless once I got started.

but! "85 Spring Festival Gala Sponsorship Vouchers" from CCTV and ICBC have been issued, and everything is prepared in accordance with the standards of the stadium. Just change the place, you say?

I can only bite the bullet and continue, but I hope there will be fewer mistakes on New Year’s Eve.

Radio and television.

Wu Lengxi repeatedly pondered an article titled "Film and television should be managed and developed in a unified manner."

He sent people to Europe and the United States this year for inspections, and indeed learned a lot of advanced experience, and his mood to integrate film and television has become stronger. And he is 65 years old this year. The country is engaged in rejuvenation of cadres, so we also talked to him.

Instead of letting him quit directly, he was transferred to the National Association of Journalists as chairman early next year. How can I say this organization? Compared with radio and television, it can be regarded as a sinecure, a place where you can use your spare energy.

Wu Lengxi followed the organization's arrangements, but he had to do it to bring the movie over.

At least before he is transferred, he should bring this matter up and let the superiors study it. The next leader of the radio and television will naturally understand after taking a look!

In the morning in Hong Kong, the sun is shining brightly and the weather is warm. Chen Qi was on the balcony, doing a set of weird movements with the rising sun, while Gu Weili stood beside him and waited patiently.

She was used to her boss's habits, which seemed to be some kind of Taoist health-preserving technique. Not to mention, it fits the stereotype of "Mainlanders practice qigong and study special powers".

Chen Qi did it twice and slowly finished, then asked: "What's the matter?"

"News from Colombia, "Fifty First Dates" has entered the preparation stage."

"Who's the star?"

"Tom Cruise, Michelle Pfeiffer, invest more than 10 million US dollars!"

"Tom Cruise is only 22 years old, right?"

"Yes, they are 4 years apart!"

"It's a bit young, but the relationship between brother and sister is also great!"

There were no windows in the room for ventilation. After practicing the Vajra Kung Fu, Chen Qi just wiped his sweat with a dry towel, which can store Yang Qi. He smiled and said: "The two of them will become famous next year, with box office starting from 50 million.

Colombia should give me a share of the profits from the transaction.

"Can the screenwriter also get a share?"

"Of course! The big screenwriters in Hollywood are very important. This is my first commercial film. Only if it succeeds can I have some say. Otherwise, in their eyes, I am just an Oscar-winning screenwriter for art films."

Chen Qi waited until the sweat was completely dry before putting on his coat, sprayed some men's perfume, and suddenly asked: "What's the date today?"

"Number 22!"

Gu Weili was stunned because he had already asked twice.

"Oh, let's go to work!"

The two went downstairs and took a car to the Clear Water Bay studio.

Gu Weili sat next to him, and from time to time she stole a glance at him. She always felt that her boss had been worried recently. Especially in the past two days, even in daily jokes, he could not hide the worry between his brows.

This was the first time she saw her boss like this, but if the boss didn't say it, no one should ask.

Arrived at Qingshui Bay.

Chen Qi went up to the main building, hurriedly broke into Fu Qi's office, closed the door, and whispered: "Uncle, it's already the 22nd! When will you arrive?"

"Everyone is in Shenzhen, completing the procedures!"

"As soon as possible, Zhuang Cheng will leave today!"

"He can catch up, he still has to come back!"

Chen Qi returned to his office and made a phone call. Zhuang Cheng's voice came from it. He asked: "Are you ready?"

"Almost. Leave in the evening, there will be a cocktail party over there. Socialize all day tomorrow, and attend the award ceremony in the evening."

"Keep calm, you really think you have won the award, and go to receive the award yourself. The most important thing is to come back safely.

"Haha, I won the award anyway! Don't worry, boss, I'm fine. ”

In addition to "The Wrong Car", Xia Wenxi from "Mr. Vampire" was also nominated for Best Supporting Actress, for her role as a ghost bride. She was also nominated for Best Film Song, for the song "Her eyes, her eyes,

It's like the stars are shining·——"

Zhuang Cheng simply brought Xia Wenxi, Cecilia Yip, and Li Lizhen to attend the Golden Horse Awards together. Of course, he couldn't cause trouble at the awards ceremony, as he would definitely not be able to leave Taiwan Island, and he might be arrested after the awards ceremony ended that day.

He had to come back first.

After he came back, it was the real danger.

Chen Qi had to ensure that he was safe, otherwise who would be willing to work for him in the future?
