Rebirth 1979: Marrying a poor girl at the beginning

The Beijing Film Studio learned the model from the Soviet Union and created four major creative groups.

Each creative group has a core director, several other directors, as well as photography, art, props, etc., which together form a complete production team.

The core of the first group is Shui Hua, whose representative works include "White-Haired Girl", "Lin Family Shop" and "Eternal Life in Flames".

The core of the second group is Cui Wei, whose representative works include "Little Soldier Zhang Ga" and "Song of Youth". Chen Huaikai is also in this team, but he belongs to "other directors".

The core of the third group is Ling Zifeng, whose representative works are "Red Flag" and the later "Camel Xiangzi".

The core of the fourth group is Cheng Yin, whose representative works include "The Battle of South and North" and "The Red Lantern".

The four great directors, also known as the four handsome men, are the most prosperous creative team at the Beijing Film Studio. After them, Xie Tieli has the highest achievement.

In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were excellent works such as "The Storm" and "Early Spring in February".

In the new era, he also co-directed "A River Runs Through It" with Chen Huaikai, yes, the great director's father, which is a movie with an epic scale!

According to the established trajectory, he will also direct film versions of "Dream of Red Mansions" and "Bao's Father and Son" - just use Stancom to find out about the hair oil.

"Comrade Zhengjun, your book The Horse Herder is so well written. I love it so much that I cried several times while reading it!"

Xie Tieli held Lin Zhengjun's hand and never let go, with a smile on his face that clearly said "Finally captured him alive, don't let him run away."

"Hello, Teacher Shi!" In fact, when Lin Zhengjun and Shi Wenxin shook hands, they felt quite cordial.

I really want to ask, "Does Uncle Ge have thick hair now?"

That’s right, Shi Wenxin’s husband is the professional villain Ge Cunzhuang, who has played the Japanese captain Kameda in “Little Soldier Zhang Ga” and the enemy chief of staff in “The Battle of South and North”.

As for his son, he is even more famous. He is the future national uncle Ge You, but he should be an unemployed young man now!

When shaking hands with Liang Xiaosheng, Lin Zhengjun smiled enthusiastically and said, "Teacher Liang, I have heard a lot about you!"

In his previous life, he loved watching the TV series "The World" adapted from Liang Xiaosheng's original work.

"Teacher Lin, you are too polite. I am just a primary school student in front of you. Why do you admire me so much? Your "A Generation" and "The Shepherd" are the ones that caused a sensation in the literary world!"

Liang Xiaosheng is inexplicable. He started working in 77 as a handyman in the Literature Department of Beijing Film Studio. He has not published any decent works yet. He is a complete nobody.

Lin Zhengjun then introduced Zhang Weiyang, Song Zhilan, Zhou Haiyang, Zhong Huainan and other big names in Yanjing to Xie Tieli and others, and everyone inevitably shook hands and exchanged greetings!

When everyone walked into the brigade yard, Lin Zhengjun suddenly felt a little numb!

The yard of the brigade headquarters was not small to begin with, but with so many people coming, there was no room for everyone to sit. Local cadres like Lin Bingde and Xu Zhigong had to go outside the yard!

Not only was he numb, Lin Bingde was even more confused. This was his own little piece of land, but he didn't even have the qualifications to sit in the yard and could only stand at the door!

Who is this to reason with!

When they learned that Yanjing Department Store came to purchase goods and the medical experts came to consult Lin Zhengjun on medical issues, Xie Tieli and others were completely shocked!

Good guy!

I'm a good guy!

This kid Lin Zhengjun is an expert in collective sideline production, understands medicine, and can write novels. He is truly an all-rounder!

Especially Liang Xiaosheng.

When he learned that Lin Zhengjun wrote the novel "The Horse Shepherd" in order to promote Lao Gandie products, he felt extremely frustrated!

Over the years, he has carefully written many novels, but most of them have been ignored, and the one or two that were published were only published in small local publications. How can this be compared!

Xie Tieli quickly stated his purpose: "Comrade Zhengjun, I am here for no other reason than to obtain the film adaptation rights of The Shepherd, so that I can direct it and put it on the big screen!"

"Oh my god, Beijing Film Studio actually took a fancy to "The Horse Herder"!"

"It's directed by the famous director Xie Tieli himself!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the courtyard was in an uproar. Everyone was whispering and talking, and eyes of envy, excitement and joy were fixed on Lin Zhengjun!

There are so many film studios in China, and Changchun Film Studio, Beijing Film Studio, Shanghai Film Studio, and Bayi Film Studio are known as the four giants.

The Bayi Factory is a military organization, so we won’t mention it for now.

The other three companies are all very powerful, have extensive connections, and are full of courage. When the reform and opening-up was in its indecisive early days, they shot a number of "treasonous" films.

For example, Beijing Film Studio released "Look at This Family" this year, which is actually a comedy, a comedy from 1979!

There is also the mysterious Big Buddha which will be released next year, starring Liu Xiaoqing. This is his first commercial action film.

It is also "The Second Handshake" which will be released next year, not to mention, it is adapted from a banned book, um, it is the pornographic book that Lin Zhengjun had read before!

And Xie Tieli is also a powerful director second only to the four major directors of Beijing Film Academy!

It can be seen that Beijing Film Studio attaches great importance to this project!

"Don't worry, just give me the novel and I'll find the best screenwriter to adapt it!"

Seeing Lin Zhengjun's hesitation, Xie Tieli continued, "As for the female lead, Liu Xiaoqing and Fang Shu are both fine. As for the male lead, we plan to invite Tang Guoqiang from the Bayi Film Studio to play the role!"

boom!

The whole audience was in an uproar again!

Liu Xiaoqing and Fang Shu are both among the four golden flowers of Beijing Film Studio, and Tang Guoqiang is now the pioneer of the "creamy boy"!

This year, Liu Xiaoqing and Fang Shu both starred in "Look at This Family", playing the roles of two salesmen, and their co-stars were Grandpa Chen Qiang and Chen Xiaoer!

Liu Xiaoqing and Tang Guoqiang also starred in a movie called "Little Flower" this year, which was both critically acclaimed and commercially successful, and was loved by both critics and audiences!

It can be said that these three are the hottest movie actors at the moment. Once they appear in a movie, it is a guarantee of box office success!

Do you think traffic stars only exist now?

What surprised Xie Tieli was that Lin Zhengjun's expression was particularly calm, even unmoved!

Xie Tieli smiled and said, "In addition, we will purchase the rights to adapt your novel, at 210 yuan per thousand words, for a total of yuan! You can also personally participate in the script adaptation and get an additional fee. I can give you yuan!"

Compared with other writers, screenwriters are definitely in the high-paid class in the entire film industry. How high is their salary? As high as three or four floors!

比如58年的时候，国家规定：着作稿每千字为4元到15元。翻译稿为每千字3元到10元。

The remuneration for novels, essays, and folk art all followed this standard, with the exception of film scripts, where the standard was 3000 to 8000 yuan per film, a sky-high price!

By the 60s, it had decreased somewhat, but it was still unimaginable for ordinary people.

The script for a feature film costs 2000 to 6000 yuan, and the script for a short feature film costs 1000 to 3000 yuan.

The director's remuneration is 500 to 1500 yuan for a feature film and 300 to 700 yuan for a short feature film.

The most interesting thing is music. If you write a song alone, you will be given a dozen yuan, but if you compose music for a movie or write a song, you can get 300 to 800 yuan for composing music and 50 to 100 yuan for writing lyrics.

It can be said that as long as you have something to do with movies, you will definitely be successful overnight.

The country has always attached great importance to movies. The reason is that it has another function: a propaganda tool for ideology! At a time when television is not popular, movies are the most powerful media tool!

The problem is that during the special decade, all royalties were cancelled as bourgeois legal rights!

The royalty standards issued in 1977 did not specify the remuneration for film scripts, but only a general remuneration standard for text manuscripts, which ranged from 2 to 7 yuan per thousand words.

This manuscript may be an essay, a novel, or a movie or drama script.

Well, actually it’s not that scientific. There is basically no scenery or psychological description in the script writing, only actions and lines, which is quite concise and dry!

In fact, the standard of royalties mentioned by Xie Tieli was discussed by the leadership team of Beijing Film Studio. It is neither too high nor too low, and it can motivate Lin Zhengjun to create!

Because the average movie script is about 10 words, the Beijing Film Studio pays the equivalent of yuan per thousand words. Although it cannot be compared with the peak period, it also exceeds the current standard of manuscript fees!

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's faces showed envy!

Lin Zhengjun only needs to write a script in about a month and earn their annual salary. This speed of making money is simply outrageous!

Unexpectedly, Lin Zhengjun actually said: "Thank you Director Xie for your kindness, but I'm sorry, I can't give you the script adaptation rights for "The Shepherd"!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole place fell into dead silence!

No one expected that Lin Zhengjun would actually refuse!

Rejected again!
