Rebirth 1979: Marrying a poor girl at the beginning

Xu Zhigong pointed to the phone number on the notebook spread out on the table and said, "Zhengjun, Fu Qi called and asked you to call back at this number."

Lin Zhengjun took it and saw that it was the phone number of the office of Great Wall Film Company in Beijing Film Studio.

"Did Fu Qi say anything?" Lin Zhengjun asked.

"General Manager Fu asked about the construction of Great Wall Primary School. I reported it to him and was shocked. I didn't expect it to be completed so quickly!"

Xu Zhigong smiled and said, "But he didn't say anything specific about you. He just told you to call back as soon as possible!"

"Okay!" Lin Zhengjun quickly picked up the dial phone and made a call.

Fu Qi is a big shot, his whereabouts are secretive, and he stays in Beijing hotels with foreign affairs most of the time. He only stays in the Beijing Film Studio Guesthouse when he works overtime too late.

It’s too late to call, maybe he has already slipped away, I have to call him again at the Beijing Hotel.

Nowadays, without a mobile phone, communication is inconvenient in many ways.

After a while, the call was connected, and Fu Qi's slightly tired voice came from the receiver: "Hello, hello, I'm Fu Qi, where are you from?"

Lin Zhengjun said: "Mr. Fu, I am Lin Zhengjun. Is there something urgent you want to talk to me about?"

Fu Qi sighed and said, "I've figured out the situation. Yuan Heping asked us for 10 Hong Kong dollars for action guidance, just to scare us!"

"Their original fees in Hong Kong were only 20,000 to 30,000 Hong Kong dollars!"

"They don't want to participate in the filming of Tai Chi Grandmaster at all, so they maliciously bid the price, hoping that we will back out!"

"During the Spring Festival, I went to Golden Harvest Films to pay a visit. After much persuasion, they finally agreed to come to the Beijing Film Studio after the Lantern Festival!"

"I'm worried that they might still run away, so I want you to come to the Beijing Film Studio as soon as possible to keep them!"

Lin Zhengjun said: "No way? Are they so cowardly?"

"No one dares to make a movie for a leftist film company! They are afraid of the censorship of the Freedom Association and losing their jobs!"

Fu Qi said helplessly: "Alas, the main reason is that we have restrained ourselves a lot after the special decade. We no longer organize workers' movements, assassinations, or plant bombs."

"Otherwise, humph! How dare they not agree!"

awesomeness!

Lin Zhengjun was a little scared and said, "Boss Fu, what you said is too scary. You won't use this trick against me in the future, right?"

Fu Qi smiled and said, "Of course not, we are comrades!"

You are so cruel to your own comrades!

Lin Zhengjun said: "However, Mr. Fu, you are a little too worried. Yuan Heping's visit to the Beijing Film Studio should be shocking!"

"Let's talk about the scenery. Isn't the Ming and Qing style street being built? Where can you find this in the corners of Hong Kong?"

"There is also the advantage of actors. For example, the boxing of Li Lianjie and his gang is much more interesting than the boxing of Hong Kong's dragon and tiger martial artists!"

Ling Zifeng, one of the four great directors of Beijing Film Studio, shot a classic film "Camel Xiangzi" in the early 80s, starring Zhang Fengyi and Siqin Gaowa.

In order to reproduce the style of old Yanjing, he built a 150-meter-long Xisi Pailou Street in the factory. Later, after several expansions, it covered an area of ​​square meters. This is the famous "Ming and Qing Style Street".

"Farewell My Concubine", "My Fair Princess", "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo", "The Secret Visits of Emperor Kangxi" and many other films were filmed here. This is also the first scene in China with the attributes of a "film and television city".

Lin Zhengjun plans to film "Tai Chi Master" here as well.

Hong Kong has a well-developed film and television industry with abundant talent and advanced equipment.

Just one thing, the scenery and exterior scenes are very poor.

There is no need to talk about the exterior scenery, there are no famous mountains or rivers, just small hills.

The real estate development level in Hong Kong is very high, so it is difficult to find a piece of wild mountain land suitable for filming costume dramas.

If shooting in a studio, the set-up would be even more sloppy and casual.

Not to mention now, when filming the Louis Koo version of "The Return of the Condor Heroes", a plastic sheet was used as a waterfall in the set.

Fu Qi shook his head and said, "Alas, I have shown him the photos of the Ming and Qing Dynasty Street, and also asked Li Lianjie and others to show them the video tapes, but they are still not very interested. I am worried that this matter will fail!"

Lin Zhengjun said: "Okay! Don't worry, leave this matter to me, I will definitely be able to keep them!"

Fu Qi was greatly surprised and laughed, "How can you be so confident!"

"Because I have a script, it must be what he wants to shoot!" Lin Zhengjun said with a smile.

In its previous life, "The Thousand Faces of Dunjia" was directed by Yuan Heping and produced in 1982. It was a culmination of his various fantastic ideas.

I think he will like it very much.

Lin Zhengjun just wanted to use this drama as bait. If he was willing to shoot "Tai Chi Master", then he could shoot "The Thousand Faces of Dunjia".

If Yuen Woo-ping refuses, then just let him watch!

Fu Qi smiled and said, "You're writing a script again? Where is the script? Let me see it."

Lin Zhengjun smiled and said, "I haven't finished writing it yet. There's no point in worrying about it. It's just this matter, right..."

"Yes, come to Yanjing as soon as possible, the sooner the better!" Fu Qi urged twice and hung up the phone.

"I don't know how my uncle's novel script is written!"

Lin Zhengjun thought about it, called the communication room of Yenching Institute of Technology, gave his name, and asked Zhou Yangguang to pick him up.

The guard at the message room was very scared when he heard Lin Zhengjun's name. He readily agreed and asked him to call back in ten minutes.

Lin Zhengjun checked the time and called ten minutes later.

"Zhengjun, Happy New Year!" Zhou Yangguang said happily.

"Happy New Year, little uncle. I wish you a happy new year and prosperity!"

"Are your parents in good health?"

"It's okay!"

Lin Zhengjun didn't exchange many pleasantries and quickly got to the point, saying, "By the way, how is the novel "Qi Men Dun Jia" going?"

"It's finished."

“How many words did you write in total?”

"More than 30,000 words!"

"It's really fast!" Lin Zhengjun exclaimed.

"You're kidding. The sooner you finish, the sooner you can get paid! I've already submitted it to Story Club."

Zhou Yangguang said: "The editor was very satisfied. The fee per thousand words increased by two yuan compared to last time. He also sent me some New Year gifts. Your grandparents were so happy!"

"Hehe, I was worried that Story Club wouldn't dare to publish it, but I didn't expect them to be so bold and publish anything weird and supernatural! It's clear that it's not just the economic field that is undergoing reform and opening up, the cultural field is even more bold and advanced!"

"Ah? You've already sent the manuscript out?" Lin Zhengjun was a little embarrassed: "I still want to show it to others! What should I do now!"

"What does that matter?"

Zhou Yangguang said proudly: "Our "Qi Men Dun Jia" is so well written that it will be published this month. You will be able to read it in two days when the February "Story Club" is published!"

"Oh, okay, then there will be no delay!" Lin Zhengjun calculated the days.

This year's Lantern Festival is on March 3st. Yuan Heping and others said that they would go to the Beijing Film Studio after the Lantern Festival. At that time, "The Thousand Faces of Dunjia" had already been published in "Story Club", so they could read the magazine directly.
