Years later, "The Popular Red Dress on the Street" was released.

Although director Qi Xingjia is over 50 years old, he understands it very well. During the filming of the original version, he sent costumers to Shekou, Shenzhen to buy clothes popular in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and asked the actresses to wear them and walk in the parks in Shanghai to observe the rate of return. If

The return rate is low and I went to Shekou to buy it. I went back and forth three times, but it still didn't work.

The red dress worn by the heroine in the end was custom-made at the Shanghai Fashion Research Institute, and it has a high rate of return. And because he spent a lot on clothing, after the film was released, he was criticized for not having a sense of frugality.

These are all small episodes characteristic of the times.

This film was adapted from a stage play, in which there were three important female characters, and the image of the heroine was not clear. Chen Qi simply made 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 spinning factory in Shanghai. Her family is poor and she has many brothers and sisters. Her parents only care about her asking for money. Some colleagues often ridicule her and she has a low self-esteem.

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

.

She was frightened and hid in the factory and did not dare to wear it again. However, the factory eventually found out about it, which triggered various conflicts... Finally, she broke through the shackles and understood that she must live bravely and sincerely...

The original version of "The Popular Red Dress on the Street" is claimed to be the first fashion film in mainland China, but it actually doesn't please both ends. It wants to be fashionable, but not so fashionable, and wants to be profound, but not that profound. It's very awkward.

Chen Qi simply grabs one, and the tone of the whole film is brisk, and there are also some "pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger" routines, and the audience will be very happy to watch it.

The film invited Gong Xue to act, and it also had the gimmick of being a "farewell film", and the traffic was immediately filled. The audience bought tickets one after another with the mentality of seeing the goddess on the big screen for the last time.

This film is produced by Changying Film Studio and will definitely be included in Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers.

Chen Qi has no control over Changying Film Studio, but starting from this year, all Oriental Company's works 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 would wait for the visiting delegation from Hong Kong and make an exception to stay in the capital.

It’s another warm spring day.

After lunch, Chen Qi took Gong Xue for a walk downstairs. As they walked, they went to the Beijing Film Studio. Then they turned to the path downstairs of the guest house and couldn't help but smile at each other.

This was the place where the two fell in love. The first time he played a gangster was under that street lamp pole.

Gong Xue touched the street lamp pole and sighed: "It feels like it was yesterday that we dated here. In the blink of an eye, I will become a mother, but the street lamp is still standing here, as if nothing has changed."

"This shows that the laws of development of things are relative, and you have inadvertently seen through the truth."

"I don't know if it's true or not. I just hope that my child won't be as glib as you and be calmer."

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

"It's not that great. Let's talk about it after birth."

Chen Qi directly denied it. What a ghost! It was like calling him Genjiebao.

They stayed here for a while and then walked back to the factory area. They happened to run down from the upstairs of the guest house. When they saw them, they were stunned and immediately said: "Hello, Comrade Chen Qi! Hello, Comrade Gong Xue!"

"Hello, who are you?"

"My name is Gao Mantang. I'm from Dalian. I'm working here with a teacher from Changying Film Studio to compile manuscripts."

"Oh, come on! Do it well!"

Gao Mantang seemed very excited. He wanted to talk more, but he knew what was appropriate. He said hello and left.

He is a middle school teacher in Dalian. He got into the TV station by virtue of his writing. But he wanted to make movies, so he got involved with Changying Film Studio and worked in Beijing. He worked at Beijing Film Studio for several years, but had no achievements in movies. In the end, he

He became famous through TV series.

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

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

Chen Qi sighed with emotion.

There are many like Gao Mantang. Although Changying Film Studio is a big studio, those filmmakers are basically based in Beijing, which is the national film and television cultural center. Many people worked at Beijing Film Studio before becoming famous.

The two continued to stroll, as if patrolling their own territory.

Chen Qi made a rare appearance at Beijing Film Studio. Various people greeted him along the way, including: "Comrade Chen Qi, when will your buildings be built?"

"We haven't reached an agreement with the factory, so we can't build it for the time being. I heard that the factory has taken out a loan, so we should have the money. Why don't you guys build it yourself?" he said with a smile.

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

"They first zoned out the front of the guest house and built a two-story imitation Qing Dynasty building. Then they zoned in the whole street of "Camel Xiangzi" and built the Rongguo Mansion! Good guy, the movie hasn't been filmed yet. Two or three million.

No more! Not a penny was spent on employees.”

"You can't say that. At least the salary is given to you."

"If you don't pay wages, it will be a big deal! Now the factory pays wages with loans. Gee, the situation of socialist literature and art is changing rapidly. Who could have thought of it before?"

Chen Qi chatted with a talkative aunt for a long time, and the aunt left with a lot of curses.

This work is uploaded by the organizer~~

The two of them simply went there to take a look.

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

”.

More than 300 film and television dramas including "Farewell My Concubine", "Prime Minister Liu Luo Guo" and "Huan Zhu Princess" were filmed here.

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

"..."

Chen Qi crossed his arms and looked at the half street in front of him, where "Tai Chi" was originally shot. He looked around and saw that the blue sky and white clouds were very empty, not surrounded by high-rise buildings of later generations.

"What are you thinking about?" Gong Xue followed him.

"I'm thinking that Beijing Film Studio has put so much effort into building so many things, saying it is leaving a legacy for future generations, but how many years can it be preserved? If the capital develops, the third ring road will also become an urban area. In the future, this place will become prosperous.

The filming base will definitely be moved overseas, who cares about the so-called heritage?"

"Move out? Move to where?"

"Suburban! I really want to build a film and television city, but unfortunately the film and television industry is not commercialized enough to sustain it. Let's wait for two years."

Chen Qi pointed in front of him, then pointed at himself, and suddenly smiled and said: "This is me! Some of these inheritances can still be left in my hands, but anyone else would have to tear them all down. They still treat me as

enemy."

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

Rongning Mansion and Mingqing Street were all demolished. Then more than 200 employees of Beijing Film Studio signed a letter to object, and the city government intervened, and the demolition was stopped again. The three most important buildings, the main building, the printing building, and the recording and editing building were all there.

Later, in 2019, the central leaders personally gave instructions and the Beijing Film Studio began to be protected and repaired. It will be used as a film museum and cultural exchanges in the future.

In the final analysis, the land on the North Third Ring Road is too valuable, and the Beijing Film Studio is extremely important, so it depends on who has the most connections. Later, the Beijing Film Studio was included in the "Preservation List of Excellent Modern and Modern Buildings in Beijing", and it is also considered a cultural relic.
