Since 1983

Winter in Beijing is extremely dry.

Even though it had snowed a few days ago, the snow piles hadn't melted on the ground, and there didn't seem to be any humidity in the air, and the corners of his mouth were dry and cracked.

There were not many people on the street, and they hurriedly walked with their heads down, but there were a few fashionable young people, wearing Xu Wenqiang's popular white scarves, strutting with their chests out, full of air.

Xu Fei was wearing a big cotton-padded jacket that was old and not old, and a white hat, and his hands were thickly stuffed, wrapped like a widow who had lived alone for many years, airtight, and cold and evil could not enter.

He found the family courtyard of CCTV, kicked a wild dog away, climbed up a building, and knocked three times.

Squeak!

The door was opened, revealing a kind and gentle face, Who are you looking for?

My name is Xu Fei, I'm here to visit Mr. Dai.

Oh, you are Xiao Xu, come in quickly...Old Dai, Xiao Xu is here!

The madam let him into the room. Dai Linfeng was on the phone in the living room, and waved his hand, signaling him to sit down casually.

Xu Fei sent a bag of snacks, took a cup of tea, and looked at it a little.

Before writing manuscripts, I sent them within the same city, and this was the first time I came home. With Mr. Dai's qualifications and status, the house is naturally not too bad. The two of them live in a little space with few furnishings, and there is a bit of elegance in the simplicity.

There is a sign on the wall, Old Ji Fuzhi has aspirations for thousands of miles, and I signed it myself.

He didn't realize it at first, but at the end he thought, oh, this sixty-five has already retired. But people are too important, and CCTV has rehired as a consultant.

The power is still great, but it no longer manages the affairs of the station, and the focus is on the Chinese TV drama production center under CCTV. Not only did he supervise the production of Dream of Red Mansions, but a few years later, with his colleagues, he worked on The Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Xu Fei sat in the living room for a while, then was called into the study by Dai Linfeng, each holding a cup of warm tea, this was the first time they chatted like this.

There's been a lot of things lately, and I haven't taken care of them. How about the crew?

It's all good, but there is a lack of funds. Director Wang and Director Ren are in a panic all day long.

The whole station is short of funds. There is no way. I talked with Ren Dahui a while ago. In fact, we can get sponsorship. There are so many state-owned enterprises, collective enterprises, and farmers who are rich in contracting. There are many near the capital. There must be someone. support.

Dai Linfeng sipped his tea, chugging and slurping in a nonchalant manner, and asked, You're done filming, how do you feel?

To be honest, the whole person is relaxed, otherwise I always have things in my heart. I think the desk work is not bad, and I am worthy of my salary.

Oh? Received the reward?

Not yet, the director has to wait.

Then you have to hurry up, it will turn yellow when it is late.

The two chatted casually, Xu Fei pondered for a while, and finally said: Mr. Dai, I can't hide my small thoughts from you. I'm here today to ask for something.

Oh, you kid wrote six or seven manuscripts for me, and I've been waiting for you to speak. It's better to be patient, and come to me after the filming is over.

Dai Linfeng didn't feel disgusted, and said with a smile: Tell me, I want to hear it too.

Uh, it's really nothing, I want to stay and work in the capital.

Are there any specific considerations?

I have thought about it, but I still like work related to film and television art.

He didn't mention the media. This concept was only proposed by Americans in 1943, and it has not yet become popular in China. Not to mention popular, the Communication University of China has not yet appeared, and it still has the sign of the Beijing Broadcasting Institute.

So what is the media? It refers to the information dissemination media, including communication, digital media, radio, television, film, publishing, advertisement, news, network, cultural industry and so on.

This definition is too big. He is afraid that if he speaks out, he will be kicked out by the old man directly, so he has to conform to the characteristics of the age. It's called film and television art these days, so he followed suit.

Um……

Dai Linfeng nodded as if he had expected it, without making any promises, and Xu Fei didn't mention it again.

Holding tea in their hands, the two of them lightly passed over this article, and then talked about the movie version of Dream of Red Mansions. For the filming of the movie version, the pressure was directly directed at the top of CCTV.

It's like a fight between the two sides, whoever wins will be proud, and whoever loses will be ashamed.

Actually, I don't think there is any need to worry. Director Xie Tieli is very good, but the quality of a work does not depend on who is famous, and whoever is sure will be good.

We have our own natural advantage, which is the TV platform. Classical masterpieces need to be tasted episode by episode. Do you think audiences like to watch Dream of Red Mansions in the cinema, or do the whole family watch Dream of Red Mansions in front of the TV after dinner?

hehe.

Dai Linfeng was said to be amused, and it was the same thing when he thought about it.

Another point is that our publicity is also very important. The CCTV platform is unique, and the power of newspapers and publications should also be borrowed. Oh yes, I wrote another article, and you can give me pointers.

Xu Fei took out a manuscript and handed it over, and Dai Linfeng took a look at it: A Dream of Red Mansions publicity plan proposal.

During the broadcast of TV dramas, we can create some small programs that are low-cost, have a wide audience, and have educational significance.

Holding the Dream of Red Mansions knowledge contest, the topic is first put out in the newspaper, the contestants are initially selected, followed by the TV competition, and the winners in the end get a small reward.

After the broadcast every day, there will be a small program immediately followed by inviting scholars to talk about the content of this episode, what are the highlights that need to be paid attention to, and even actors can be brought in to communicate with each other, chatting about interesting things during filming, etc.

Print some small picture albums of Dream of Red Mansions, hold related cultural activities in primary and secondary schools, call for writing impressions, and distribute them for free.

...

Dai Linfeng had just watched three of them, and many ideas had already flowed into his head. It really is low-cost, has a wide audience, and it is definitely popular among the people to do it together with a TV series.

This kid!

The old man who was over the age of ears suddenly became excited, as if he had returned to the time when he was doing revolution and starting a business. Dream of Red Mansions is like a series of difficulties, and I lead a group of people to continuously overcome them.

The long-lost excitement was beating in the cells, and the more beating, the more I felt that this young man was so strange, calm and confident.

The two chatted for a long time, Xu Fei came in the morning and left another lunch.

At the end, Dai Linfeng asked suddenly: By the way, you have studied TV dramas so much, do you have any opinions on movies?

Movie?

Xu Fei was stunned, hiding a lot of meaning, This, I really can't talk about it...

…………

That night, Dai Linfeng read the promotion plan again before taking off his reading glasses and rubbing his eyes.

Speaking of which, the two of them don't meet much, talk less, and the collision of thoughts is all in this article after article. He recognized the talent of young people very much, and it was because of this that he felt more and more headaches.

Unit transfers are very common these days, and they are full of magic. For example, Ma Weidu was transferred from a machine tool miller in a factory to an editor of Youth Literature.

As long as you find the right person, it's just a matter of saying hello-well, it's the same for future generations.

That kid wants to stay in the capital to engage in film and television related work, the scope is not large, there are only a few places to count.

First of all, it is the Chinese TV drama production center, which is its own territory, and it is also the one with the strongest selfish intentions, but after careful consideration, it is still rejected.

If the central prefix is ​​not good, then he can only go to the next level. He has considered the Beijing Broadcasting and Television Bureau and the Beijing TV Station.

The former are serious party and government agencies, civil servants, and are not comparable to public institutions. Although I have a bit of a thin face, there is nothing I can do, let alone it is not suitable.

As for the TV station...

Dai Linfeng shook his head, the TV station tends to be conservative, and the main project is news. It is best to be a unit that focuses on film and television, has a simple structure, and a relatively open style.

The old man tapped his fingers on the table and got an idea.
