Rebirth 1979: Marrying a poor girl at the beginning

During the "Seventeen Years Period", movies were used as a tool for political propaganda and were "people's films". They advocated "developing our feature films based on documentaries" to educate the people and guide the masses, and were rarely entertaining.

During the special decade, even the Seventeen Years' films were banned. The cultural field "revolutionized" the aesthetic tastes and entertainment of more than 900 million Chinese people. The film industry completely withered, and there were only eight model operas to watch.

Since the new era, 391 films released in the -year period have been lifted. A small number of films with contemporary characteristics, such as "Little Flower", "The Smile of the Troubled Man", "Legend of Tianyun Mountain" and "Sweet Career", have been filmed and released one after another.

However, the movies at that time were still about bitterness and hatred, without any genre or entertainment.

After all, it is still a tool for ideological propaganda. It is nothing more than a consensus reached between mainstream ideology and popular thoughts, and the movie makes the people resonate emotionally.

"That's right. The decadent capitalist society is one where entertainment is supreme and people live a life of drunkenness and dreams. Movies have long lost their function of educating the people. They are just sugar-coated bullets. Ordinary people are deceived and misled and don't know how to pursue progress. So everyone must watch it with a critical eye!" Liang Xiaosheng said something disrespectful but acted upright, his eyes emitting a leisurely and fascinated look.

"That's right, criticism! Play a few more and let us criticize them harshly!" Lin Zhengjun said with a smile.

He had had the opportunity to watch movies in the county cinema before, but he had never seen it. The reason was simple: he felt that the domestic films of this era were not good.

In the afternoon, the bus arrived at the Beijing Film Studio and Lin Zhengjun got off.

In the small square in front of the three-and-a-half-story Soviet-style main building, Tang Xiaofu was chatting with several actresses including Liu Xiaoqing, Fang Shu, Zhang Jinling, and Li Xiuming. They were holding hands and looked very intimate.

There is also Xiao Cai Ming, who is not one of the three golden flowers, but is a veteran actor.

In 73, she acted in the movie "Hai Xia" starring Xie Tieli. She graduated from Beijing Film Academy and was a senior sister of Fang Shu and Zhang Fengyi from the class of 78.

Women are like this, they can become best friends in just three days. As for whether they are just plastic best friends, that is another matter.

To sum up, the appearance and temperament of this generation of actresses are a transition from the heroic and sturdy style of Zhu Xijuan, the leading actress of "The Red Detachment of Women", to the soft and delicate feminine characteristics.

Liu Xiaoqing, Fang Shu, Zhang Jinling and Li Xiuming have a gentle and graceful temperament, but also have the aftertaste of a strong lady who fights against heaven and earth.

In public, Lin Zhengjun and Tang Xiaofu couldn't kiss, hug, or lift each other up. They just smiled at each other and gave each other an intimate look.

Ge You was standing in the shade of a tree in the distance, looking lonely and out of place.

"When I was eighteen, I attended my alma mater's dance and stood like a minion..."

Lin Zhengjun hummed a line.

These lyrics are a true portrayal of the nation’s uncle at this moment!

There was only one little girl of eight or nine years old who did not despise him. She stood beside him and chatted with him in a random manner.

"The faint longing is written on my face, the heavy farewell is on my shoulders..."

Lin Zhengjun hummed again.

He walked over leisurely and patted Uncle Ge on the shoulder. Ge You was so frightened that his whole body shuddered. He turned around and said with a look of joy: "Hey, Teacher Lin, you are here!"

"Ge You is quite talented. Did he also attend this symposium?"

He is talking about things that are not related to the topic!

Ge You scratched his head in embarrassment again and said ashamedly, "No, no, no, I'm not qualified. I heard that there was an internal reference film being shown and there were vacancies, so I came to take a look. Family members are allowed to watch it, allowed."

Lin Zhengjun pinched the little girl's face and said, "Are you here for free, too? Can you understand the internal reference film?"

"Hmph. Who are you? You know nothing and you're just talking nonsense here. I'm already in the fourth grade of primary school, of course I can understand it. Do you take me for an idiot?" the little girl said coquettishly.

"Jiang Shan, don't be rude to your Uncle Lin!"

Jiang Huaiyan shouted, walked over and shook hands with everyone to express his welcome.

Liang Xiaosheng took everyone on a tour again, and Liu Xiaoqing, Zhang Jinling, Li Xiuming, Fang Shu and others also happily accompanied them.

Next to the main building are two auxiliary buildings: the printing and developing building and the recording and editing building, and behind it is the photography studio.

In his previous life, Lin Zhengjun had invested in film and television and had been to the Beijing Film Studio, but that was all in the 21st century.

Many buildings don't exist yet, such as the Ming and Qing Style Street, which was built during the filming of "Camel Xiangzi" in 81 and later expanded into a street.

There are also the Rong and Ning mansions, which were built in 86 for the filming of the movie version of "Dream of Red Mansions" - well, it was directed by Xie Tieli.

In the 80s, Xie Tieli's interest gradually shifted to fictional films adapted from Chinese classical novels.

He successively directed 6 films with 8 episodes each of "Dream of Red Mansions", and later adapted "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" and filmed the film "Ancient Tomb and Abandoned House", which marked the beginning of the actor Zhou Gongzi's debut on the big screen.

At that time, CCTV was also filming a TV series version, with Chen Xiaoxu and Zhang Li being very affectionate...

After visiting for a while, a loud speaker announced that everyone was invited to go into the screening room and take a seat, and the movie viewing and exchange activity officially began.

In addition to young writers, there are also leaders of several major film studios, some famous directors and screenwriters.

In addition, there are three leftist filmmakers from Hong Kong.

In addition to Xia Meng, there was another man and a woman. The man was tall and handsome, with an elegant temperament. The woman had faint crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, but she still had charm and was dignified and quiet, not inferior to Xia Meng in any way.

The two of them sat together with Wang Yang, so it was expected that they were of high status.

Lin Zhengjun pulled Ge You and Jiang Shan to his side so that they could chat.

Tang Xiaofu and several actresses from the Beijing Film Studio sat in the row in front of her.

Then, Director Wang Yang came out, stood under the big screen, and said a few words.

“Welcome all young writers to visit and exchange ideas at Beijing Film Studio!”

Wang Yang smiled and said, "We organized this event mainly because Beijing Film Studio attaches great importance to film literature. To be honest, during the past ten years, there has been a lack of talent and a lack of successors. Beijing Film Studio is really short of excellent screenwriters and excellent script stories. There is a script shortage!"

"So, we are very eager to discover some excellent screenwriters from among you to write scripts for us. The price is negotiable!"

"For Lin Zhengjun and Tang Xiaofu's Under the Hawthorn Tree, we paid 700 yuan for the adaptation and 500 yuan for the script, a total of 1200 yuan!"

boom!

The audience was in an uproar.

Everyone looked at Lin Zhengjun and Tang Xiaofu with envy.

Ge You lowered his voice and exclaimed: "Oh, oh, literature is really profitable!"

Jiang Shan's eyes widened in astonishment, "That's too much. I heard from my dad that directing a play only earns 700 to 800 yuan!"

"I would like to take this opportunity to say a few words..."

Xu Sangchu, director of Shanghai Film Studio, suddenly stood up.

Wang Yang glared at him.

This jerk is trying to snatch the script from me again. The Beijing Film Studio is setting up the stage, and you want to go to the studio to perform, right? You don’t even want to pay for the event, but you come here to force yourself to take advantage of it!

Xu Sangchu smiled and said, "We at Shanghai Film Studio pay more. The adaptation fee for The Shepherd is 4000 yuan, and the script fee is yuan, a total of yuan!"

boom!

The whole place was in an uproar!

Everyone's eyes were on Lin Zhengjun and Tang Xiaofu.

“Oh my, the income is so high!”

Liu Xiaoqing held Tang Xiaofu's hand, full of envy, and said, "You and Zhengjun are so talented. You made so much money from writing!"

"You are so outstanding!" Fang Shu, Li Xiuming and Zhang Jinling also looked envious.

At that time, actors' pay had not yet been marketized. No matter how big an actor was, he was still a working class person and only received a salary based on his professional title. Liu Xiaoqing's current salary was only 42 yuan.

Even if fans send gifts, anything worth more than five dollars will be handed over to the unit, and the management is extremely strict.

So, the actors are not rich!

Historically, when filming "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace", the mainland actors had two steamed buns and a piece of black pickled vegetables for each meal, while the Hong Kong actors had fish and meat for every meal. Liu Xiaoqing was so angry that she cried because she couldn't have any of them.

Tang Xiaofu felt very happy.

This is nothing. Literature is just his hobby. He makes big money in canning.

Xu Sangchu smiled and said, "Haha, as long as your novels or scripts can reach the level of a regular army, the price is the same!"

Wang Yang was annoyed that Xu Sangchu was stealing the limelight, so he said with a smile, "Okay, Old Xu, stop talking nonsense and start the movie."
