Chapter 122 Sweet pastry
In 1958, the first domestic TV series "One-Bite Vegetable Pancake" was born.
The dramas here are usually one episode or two episodes, and only three episodes can be called a series. Last year, the national TV drama production was only 20 episodes, which is in the embryonic stage.
"I am preparing a movie called "Eighteen Years in the Enemy Camp", which is adapted from the novel and is expected to be shot in 9 episodes, which should be the longest in China."
"Nine episodes? That's a big task! How much funding do you have?"
"Uh, about 100,000."
"..."
Wang Yang's expression was subtle. Now that movie costs have skyrocketed, hundreds of thousands are nothing. As a result, 9 episodes of the TV series only cost 100,000.
This is impossible without a sense of superiority. In fact, in the current film industry, watching TV series is like a big brother watching a brat. He knows that it has potential, but doesn't take it to heart.
So when the movie declined later, some people complained to the government: Why didn't you stop the development of TV series in time?
"We want to do something new, not like a model drama. But now there is a shortage of talent in TV dramas, including directors, screenwriters, and actors. Our station cannot rely on "Eighteen Years in the Enemy Camp" to support it. I heard that
The screenwriter is a young man who may have something new in his mind, and I would like to ask him to give it a try."
"He is not in Beijing, but in Henan."
"It's okay, just leave your contact information."
"That's okay, I'll ask him to come back to you."
"Thank you, old factory manager!"
Wang Fulin left, Wang Yang scratched his head, that brat was now a hot potato!
…………
Hong Kong, staff dormitory of Great Wall Company.
At night, the lights in the room were dim. Fu Qi was lying on a sofa, holding a letter in his hand. He closed his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking. After a while, he opened his eyes, read the letter again, and wrote the last sentence:
Author:
"I am willing to carry the three-foot sword to help you and achieve unparalleled achievements!"
It’s hard to imagine that this was done by a young man from mainland China.
Mainlanders regard Hong Kong as a paradise, and everyone yearns for it, but this guy said: Old-timer! I like you leftists, and I am willing to help with all my strength and kill them together!
Who is Fu Qi?
He has seen blood. However, due to the change in national policy, he had to cooperate with the united front in Xiangjiang. In fact, he is still a strong man in his twilight years and has no ambition to live a thousand miles.
In addition to the letter, this young man also handed over two scripts, some storyboards, and painting settings, which shows his sincerity.
Snap!
The lights suddenly turned on, and Shi Hui walked into the bedroom and said with a smile, "Are you still reading this letter?"
"Well, looking at it, I feel like we haven't been forgotten and there are still people supporting us."
"So what, we can't do anything."
"If you can't do big things, at least you can do something small in the movie..."
Fu Qi paused and said: "I made a special trip to Guangzhou a few days ago and watched "Love in Lushan Mountain". Although it is full of united front ideas, some things are still very novel. Can you imagine that this is a romance movie?
"
"So, are you excited?"
Shi Hui sat on the armrest of the sofa and hugged his shoulders. The two of them stayed together forever and grew old together.
"You have also read those two scripts. They are not mainland style at all, and they are not like Hong Kong style. Their structure and themes are more like those in the United States. I really don't know how he wrote them. I can only say he is a genius."
Fu Qi sighed and said: "I asked someone to estimate it. It's only a few hundred thousand. We can still come up with it. We are worried about what film to make anyway, so why not make this one. What do you think?"
"Where are the directors and actors? There are not many people left in the company, even A Jing has left." Shi Hui said.
??????????.??????
"There is a group of new-wave directors emerging in Hong Kong. They are most in need of opportunities. Let's borrow them from Run Run Shaw. As for actors, this kind of film doesn't need big stars, so it's easy to handle."
"Then let Liu Xuehua and the others try it?"
"Well, this is okay!"
The Great Wall used to be so glorious, but now it is in decline, with only a few veterans left to support it.
Bao Qijing, whose masterpieces are "Days and Nights in Tin Shui Wai" and "Moon Hennessy", her father Bao Fang is the famous director of the Great Wall, and her younger brother Bao Dexi went to Hollywood to study and won the Oscar for Best Cinematography for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".
Bao Qijing grew up on the set of The Great Wall and joined the company as a matter of course. Before officially taking up the job, leftists had to undergo re-education from workers and peasants, so she went to work as a female worker in a textile factory in Guangdong for a few months.
She is 31 years old this year. She did not leave the Great Wall when it was most difficult, but now she has left and jumped to Li's TV station, ATV.
This is the only Mesozoic Era.
Fortunately, the Great Wall's actor training class has recruited a group of new people. The new people don't know anything about left and right, as long as they can join the circle. Among them, four young and beautiful girls have been specially trained, and one of them is Liu Xuehua.
The heroine of the Qiong Yao drama, yes, she is from a leftist background.
After a few years of tepid employment, she jumped to Shaw Brothers. She didn't succeed at Shaw Brothers, so she went to Taiwan to film TV series. Alas, she hit the right track and finally became popular.
Fu Qi and Shi Hui studied and found out that these four girls could play "Deadly Turn" and "Dark Invasion".
As for the director, they plan to borrow it from Shaw Brothers.
A cunning old man like Run Run Shaw must be hedging his bets, being openly anti-leftist, and turning a blind eye to company directors who help the leftists make films. For example, Wang Jing's father, Wang Tianlin, worked on the Great Wall film under a pseudonym.
There are two strange directors in Shaw Brothers who are more suitable. One is Mou Dunfu, who is Chen Qi's favorite (of course he did not tell Fu Qi and others), and the other is Gui Zhihong.
Gui Zhihong's imagination is amazing and his style is unique. "Evil", "Gu", "Demon" and "Evil Fights Evil" are all rare Hong Kong cult classics.
"Mom and Dad!"
At this moment, a little girl about 10 years old ran over, threw herself into Fu Qi's arms, and said coquettishly: "What are you doing? Can you play with me?"
"We're talking about work, you go have some fun first."
"Yeah yeah~"
The little girl started to hum. She had a pretty face and she looked like a beauty at first glance, especially her watery eyes. She would definitely have peach blossom eyes when she grew up. She was none other than their youngest daughter, Fu Mingxian.
"Okay, okay, let's play with you!"
The two of them had no choice but to play with their daughter, and they were extremely pampered. Later, Fu Mingxian wanted to join the industry, so Fu Qi directly called Run Run Shaw, and Fu Mingxian signed with TVB and starred in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"
Guo Fu.
At this moment, Fu Mingxian made a fuss for a while and ran away again.
Seeing her daughter leaving, Shi Hui suddenly said, "She's grown up too. Are you looking for an opportunity to take her to a BJ?"
"As our daughter, of course she has to go to BJ and see Tiananmen!"
Fu Qi did not hesitate.
In this era, many things have changed.
…………
"Romance in Lushan" has been released with great fanfare for more than a month, and the sequels should be almost offline. The first round is not finished yet.
According to the standards of later generations, it can't achieve the results of "Hot and Spicy", ah! It can't reach 4 billion+. Unfortunately, it's rough now and we can't accurately calculate the box office.
In August, summer is still here.
The crew of "Tai Chi" has completed the exterior scenes of Xiaodian Village and Yesanpo, and filming has officially concluded.
(No more...)
Chapter completed!
