Since 1983

Early this morning, everyone arrived at the unit ahead of schedule.

As usual, they cleaned up, drank tea and read the newspaper, but there was some subtlety in the silence. Lu Xiaowei, You Xiaogang, Li Xiaoming, etc. don't care, they have achievements, it doesn't matter who they are.

Zhao Baogang was slightly worried. He was preparing for The Roots of the Imperial City, and he was afraid that someone who set the rules would withdraw the project.

Feng was even more worried, and smoked one puff at a time.

After a dull moment, someone finally couldn't hold back, Hey, who is the newcomer? Do you know?

not sure.

It was airborne. No one had heard of it before.

The background is quite big, and he can directly kill Mr. Li.

Who said Desire is too popular? Local stations still have five or six episodes a day.

Hey, I'm getting to the point. I never thought TV dramas would become so popular before. Who wouldn't be jealous?

Xu Fei was also there, listening to and reading the newspaper, but there was no big news, nothing more than the Gulf War, China's preparations for the Olympic bid, and a change of leadership was nothing compared to it.

After chatting for a long time, Lu Xiaowei appeared at the door, A meeting!

Everyone shut up instantly, huh-la-la went to the conference room, there were too many people, and later they simply stood against the wall. Xu Fei suddenly remembered that he was like this when he joined the job, and Li Mu had just been transferred...

After waiting for a few minutes, footsteps sounded, and Zheng Xiaolong led a person in.

Slightly fat, with a white face and big ears, wearing glasses, and combing his hair meticulously, he looks like a very elegant guy.

Wow, boom!

well.

This person waved his hand, sat in the main seat very naturally, swept around and smiled and said: This is the first time I meet you, some comrades may know each other, and some may not, so let me introduce myself.

My surname is Zhao, and I used to work in the propaganda department, and I also came into contact with many literary and artistic works. I can’t say I understand it, but I know a little bit. The art center is well-known in the industry. I transferred here this time mainly to learn from everyone and work hard together to reach a higher level.

Wow, boom!

The opening is not bad, as long as the officials are not too stupid, they can talk.

I have always been a loyal viewer of the center. I have watched Plainclothes Police, Alley, and Aspiration more than once, and there are many talents!

Don't look at me meeting everyone for the first time, I can be called by name. Needless to say, Lao Zheng, Lao Lu, Xiao Ming, You Xiaogang, Lei Lei... oh, and Xiao Xu!

Director Zhao pointed one by one, pointed at Xu Fei and said with a smile, Hey, this is a young representative of the industry, a model worker!

Hehe, hehe, hehe...

When the leader ends with a grin, it is basically mobilizing the atmosphere. If you don’t think it’s funny, you should yell twice.

That's why you are the creators, and I'm a big housekeeper, doing a good job of serving everyone. Old Zheng, you used to be in charge of production, and now you're still in charge of production. I'm new here, can you introduce this year's work tasks?

Uh, good.

Zheng Xiaolong coughed and said: This year's production tasks mainly include The Story of the Editorial Department, 25 episodes, directed by Jin Yan. And The Roots of the Imperial City, 30 episodes, directed by Zhao Baogang.

Our current funding has risen to 1.8 million. These two films have basically been spent, and we have to get additional sponsorship...

After he spoke briefly, Director Zhao nodded frequently, and said, Well, I'm relieved that Lao Zheng is here. Shall I talk about my opinion?

You speak.

The center has won Feitian and Golden Eagle for several years in a row, and has produced high-quality products for several years in a row. Last year, Longing was an empty market. In fact, it has reached its peak in China. Even if it is made again, it is impossible to replicate the success of Aspirational in the short term.

So don't be conservative, our works are so good, don't always be popular in China, you have to go out boldly!

...

Everyone was taken aback.

Director Zhao smiled and continued: I'm communicating with all parties, planning to set up a company in the United States to distribute our TV series.

Buzz buzz!

It was like throwing a bomb into the water, and the whole house was blown to pieces. America is heaven these days! In the end, we are going to start a company and sell TV series?

Not only that, we may also get the agency rights of CCTV programs. Director Zhao added another fire.

Everyone was overwhelmed, and some people wondered: Isn't China Television International doing the external distribution?

Yes, they represent CCTV programs, and we will represent them again.

Oh, it turned out to be two packs.

Everyone couldn't help but be in awe, the new leader is so powerful, and he will go to the United States when he comes up.

Zheng Xiaolong is the most excited. He must fight for a place in this company, so he can go to the United States to see his girlfriend.

Amidst the discussion, Teacher Xu suddenly asked: In what form will we distribute this TV series? Are we cooperating with the local TV station?

Well……

Director Zhao paused, and said with a smile: It is currently being studied. The significance of this matter is that we dare to step out, and it is good to go out!

Fine.

Xu Fei basically understands that at most, he can rent a shop to sell video tapes, and if he rents a bigger one, I'm pretty brave.

He is sober, others are confused, immersed in various fantasies. Director Zhao seemed slightly satisfied, and said: The second point is also my immature little idea.

Our strength is one of the best in the country. Longing has 50 episodes. I wonder if we can work harder and have the courage to create something. How about making a 100-episode TV series?

...

...

Everyone who was still excited, poured a basin of cold water to the bottom.

Xu Fei lowered his head, seemingly rubbing his forehead, but actually smiling.

Everyone was embarrassed, and no one said a word. Zheng Xiaolong reluctantly said: Uh, Director Zhao, the idea of ​​a 100-episode TV series is very good, but we don't have enough funds, so I'm afraid it will be difficult.

Funding? It is indeed a problem, so let's make it a goal in the future, and we will work hard to achieve it.

…………

A meeting went high and low, and ended in a weird atmosphere.

Back in the office, Zhao Baogang closed the door, and cursed in a low voice: Fuck, do you understand? You only talk about a hundred episodes, why don't you say a thousand episodes?

He didn't dare to say a thousand episodes, but it was indeed a little casual. Feng shook his head.

Come on, don't count on this one, just do your own thing.

Don't you have to do your own thing well, or it will be even more useless.

It is often a matter of one sentence for laymen to reveal the essence.

The longest TV series in China is Foreign Daughter-in-Law and Local Lang. It was broadcast from 2000 to 2019, and it has broadcast more than 3,000 episodes.

There is also Seventy-Two Tenants, which began broadcasting in 2008, with more than a thousand episodes.

Both are Cantonese sitcoms.

There is also the famous Unforgettable, 807 episodes. What about The Story of My Mother's Family, 320 episodes.

These are all produced after the new century, with low cost, long plots, and a mess of water. But you said that a 100-episode drama in 1991 was not a sitcom, how about playing it?

And in the corner, Xu Fei drank the half cup of tea left before, and his memory faintly emerged.

This drama seems to have really been filmed, what is it called Kyoto Chronicle, directed by You Xiaogang, starring Wu Qianqian, Liu Wei, and Li Yuanyuan.

Because it was too long, he had a little impression that it was really a hundred episodes.

...

He put down his teacup, put on his coat, and waved his hands, Let's go first!

Hey, Teacher Xu has turned into Boss Xu again?

Boss Xu is so rich, he didn't treat us to a meal.

That's right, Dong Lai Shun at night?

Please, absolutely please, let me know when the time comes...

Xu Fei went out with a smile, and the shit-yellow car drove away without even looking at it.
