Chapter 698 The So-Called Inheritance

Years later, "Red Skirts Are Popular on the Street" was released.

Although director Qi Xingjia is over 50 years old, he knows a lot. When the original version was filmed, he sent a costumer to Shenzhen Shekou to buy popular clothes from Hong Kong and Taiwan, and asked the actresses to wear them and walk around the park in Shanghai to observe the rate of return. If the rate of return is low, go to Shekou to buy them again. After going back and forth three times, it still doesn't work.

The red skirt worn by the heroine in the end was customized at the Shanghai Fashion Research Institute, and the rate of return is super high. However, due to the high cost of clothing, he was criticized for not being frugal after the release of this film.

These are all small episodes with the characteristics of the times.

This film is adapted from a stage play, which has three important female characters, and the image of the heroine is not distinct. Chen Qi made simple modifications to highlight his wife and focus the plot on her.

Gong Xue plays a female worker from the countryside who works in a cotton mill in Shanghai. Her family is poor, she has many brothers and sisters, her parents only know how to ask her for money, and some colleagues often ridicule her. She is very inferior on weekdays.

Her good friend Jiang Lili was warm and generous. On her birthday, she gave her a beautiful red skirt. She didn't dare to wear it. With Jiang Lili's encouragement, she finally wore it out once. As a result, she "cut off the skirt" in the park, which caused a sensation and many people looked for her news.

She was scared and hid in the factory and didn't dare to wear it again, but the factory eventually found out, which caused various conflicts... In the end, she broke through the shackles and understood that she had to live bravely and sincerely, blah blah...

The original version of "Red Skirts Are Popular on the Street" is known as the first fashion film in the mainland, but it is actually not pleasing to both ends. It is not so fashionable when it wants to be fashionable, and it is not so profound when it wants to be profound. It is very twisted.

Chen Qi simply grabbed one end, and the tone of the whole film was light, and some "playing pigs and eating tigers" routines were buried, which the audience would feel very refreshed.

And this film invited Gong Xue to play, and there is also a gimmick of "farewell work", which directly pulled the traffic to full. The audience bought tickets to enter with the mentality of seeing the goddess on the big screen for the last time.

This film is produced by Changchun Film Studio and will definitely participate in the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards.

Chen Qi has no control over Changchun Film Studio, but starting this year, all works of Dongfang Company will no longer apply for any awards in the mainland.

…………

In the past, he would go to Hong Kong after the Spring Festival. This year, he will wait for the Hong Kong delegation to visit Beijing and make an exception to stay in Beijing.

It is another spring day with flowers blooming.

After lunch, Chen Qi took Gong Xue for a walk downstairs. As they walked, they went to the Beijing Film Studio area, and then turned to the small road downstairs of the guesthouse. They couldn't help but smile at each other.

This is where the two of them fell in love. The first time he acted like a hooligan was under that street lamp pole.

Gong Xue touched the lamp post and sighed, "It seems like our date here was yesterday. I'm going to be a mother in the blink of an eye, but the lamp is still standing here, as if nothing has changed."

"This shows that the law of development of things is relative. You accidentally saw through the truth."

"I don't know if it's true or not. I just hope that the child won't be as slick as you and be more calm."

Gong Xue rolled her eyes at him and said, "Hey, by the way, your mother has already picked a nickname for the child. This year is the Year of the Ox. How about Niu Niu?"

"Not very good, let's talk about it after the baby is born."

Chen Qi directly denied it. What the hell is Niu Niu! It sounds like calling him Genjiebao.

They stayed here for a while and walked back to the factory area. Someone happened to run down from the guesthouse. He was stunned when he saw them and immediately said, "Hello, Comrade Chen Qi! Hello, Comrade Gong Xue!"

"Hello, who are you?"

"My name is Gao Mantang, I'm from Dalian, and I'm here with the teachers from Changchun Film Studio to collect manuscripts."

"Oh, come on! Do a good job!"

Gao Mantang looked very excited. He wanted to talk more, but he knew his limits. He greeted and left.

He was a middle school teacher in Dalian. He got into the TV station with his writing, but he wanted to make movies, so he got the relationship with Changchun Film Studio and lived in Beijing. He worked in Beijing Film Studio for several years, but he didn't have much success in movies. In the end, he became famous with TV dramas.

His representative works include "Crossing Guandong", "Old Farmer", "The North Wind Blows", etc.

"The future great screenwriter is just a 30-year-old young man now!"

Chen Qi sighed.

There are many people like Gao Mantang. Although Changchun Film Studio is a big studio, most of the filmmakers are based in Beijing, which is the national film and television cultural center. Many people have been in Beijing Film Studio before they became famous.

The two continued to stroll, as if they were inspecting their own territory.

Chen Qi rarely showed up in Beijing Film Studio. All kinds of people greeted him along the way, and their words were: "Comrade Chen Qi, when will you build those buildings?"

"I haven't reached an agreement with the factory, so I can't build them for the time being. I heard that the factory has taken out a loan, so it should have money. Why don't you build them yourself?" He smiled.

"Don't mention it! It's all because of Dream of Red Mansions!"

"They marked out the area in front of the guesthouse first, and they want to build a two-story imitation Qing Dynasty building. Then they marked out the entire street of Camel Xiangzi, and they want to build Rongguo Mansion! My goodness, the movie hasn't been shot yet, and two or three million is gone! Not a penny was spent on the employees."

"You can't say that, at least you get your salary."

"If you don't get your salary, it will be a big deal! The factory now pays salaries with loans. Tsk, tsk, the situation of socialist literature and art is changing rapidly. Who could have thought of it before?"

Chen Qi chatted with a chatty aunt for a long time, and the aunt left after cursing.

This work was compiled and uploaded~~

The two simply went over there to take a look.

In order to shoot "Camel Xiangzi" a few years ago, half a street was built behind the No. 1 studio. After continuous expansion in history, this area has a total of five streets, which is the famous "Ming and Qing Style Street" of Beijing Film Studio.

More than 300 film and television dramas such as "Farewell My Concubine", "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo" and "My Fair Princess" were filmed here.

This piece of land is very large, much larger than the original Rongning Mansion. Now the butterfly flaps its wings, and the Beijing Film Studio wants to build Rongning Mansion here.

"..."

Chen Qi put his hands on his waist and looked at the half street in front of him. "Tai Chi" was also filmed here. He looked around again. The blue sky and white clouds were very empty, without the high-rise buildings of later generations.

"What are you thinking about?" Gong Xue leaned on him.

"I was thinking that the Beijing Film Studio spent so much effort to build so many things, saying that they wanted to leave some heritage for future generations, but how many years can they keep them? The capital needs to develop, and the Third Ring Road will become an urban area. When this place becomes prosperous in the future, the filming base will definitely move out. Who cares about the so-called heritage?"

"Move out? Where?"

"Suburbs! I really want to build a film and television city, but unfortunately the film and television industry is not commercial enough and can't be sustained. I'll talk about it in two years."

Chen Qi pointed to the front, then pointed to himself, and suddenly laughed: "This is me! These heritages can still be left in my hands. If it were someone else, they would have to demolish them all. They also regard me as an enemy."

In 2012, China Film sold the entire factory area to develop it into a comprehensive real estate.

Rongning Mansion and Mingqing Street were completely demolished, and then more than 200 employees of the Beijing Film Studio signed a letter of opposition, and the municipal government intervened, and the demolition stopped again. The three most important buildings, the main building, the printing building, and the recording and editing building, are all there.

Later in 2019, the central leadership personally instructed that the Beijing Film Studio began to be protected and repaired, and it would be used as a film museum and cultural exchange in the future.

In the final analysis, the land on the North Third Ring Road is too valuable, and the Beijing Film Studio is very important, so it depends on who has the greater relationship. Later, the Beijing Film Studio was included in the "Beijing Excellent Modern and Contemporary Building Protection List", and it is also considered a cultural relic.

…………

In early March.

The Hong Kong delegation made a move and went north to Beijing.
