Listening to Lin Chaoyang's words, Chen Huaikai tried his best to recall that Yan Film Studio was one of the units that assisted in the filming of "Burning the Old Summer Palace" and "Behind the Curtain". When the movie was shot in the Forbidden City, Chen Huaikai visited the Forbidden City and had some impressions of Tony Leung.
When Lin Chaoyang said this, he thought of Liang Jiahui's face, and his face suddenly smiled.
"Don't tell me, this actor is really suitable."
But he was just happy for a few seconds when he suddenly realized, "That's not right, he is an actor in Xiangjiang, right?"
Facing Chen Huaikai's questioning gaze, Lin Chaoyang nodded, "Yes, from Xiangjiang."
Chen Huaikai was immediately disappointed, "Then what do you think he is doing? This is not a co-production movie."
"It all depends on people!" Lin Chaoyang said lightly.
Chen Huaikai showed a bit of dissatisfaction on his face, "You said it easily. If you have the ability, you can pull him over."
"You are the director."
"You're still a screenwriter!"
The two of them glared at each other, and no one could tell the difference. Chen Huaikai sighed helplessly: "Let's be honest. Is there any suitable person to recommend?"
"No more." Lin Chaoyang said simply.
Chen Huaikai was blocked there by him and remained silent for a long time before he said, "Then I'll think about it when I go back."
"good."
Chen Huaikai left Lin Chaoyang's house depressed.
In the evening, Tao Yushu returned home happily. Lin Chaoyang asked her: "What makes you so happy?"
Tao Yushu took out a copy of "People's Literature" and the words "1983-8" were written on the cover.
“The August sample issue is out, and the new editorial board has printed it!”
She waved the magazine, her face full of pride and pride.
Through Wang Meng's efforts, in the new editorial board of "People's Literature", almost all the older generation writers have retired, and have been replaced by several senior editors and reviewers of "People's Literature" and a group of well-known celebrities who are currently the most famous in the country.
Writer Lin Chaoyang's name is clearly listed among them.
As Wang Meng said, Lin Chaoyang became the youngest editorial board member of "People's Literature".
The youngest among the other editorial board members is 43-year-old Jiang Zilong, who is 18 years older than Lin Chaoyang, almost a cliff-like gap.
Therefore, Lin Chaoyang's name appearing on the editorial board list of "People's Literature" is somewhat eye-catching.
Lin Chaoyang joked: "So Comrade Yushu will have someone above him in the future?"
His words had a double entendre. How could Tao Yushu not understand what he meant and spit at him fiercely.
"There is another happy thing."
"What's the joy?"
Tao Yushu pointed to the short story "Hometown Three Chens" signed by "Wang Zengqi" in the catalog and said: "I handled it. The writer I mentioned last time also got in touch and sent me a short story. It was very good.
Published next issue.”
"Awesome!" Lin Chaoyang immediately gave a thumbs up.
Tao Yushu wrinkled his nose at him, showing dissatisfaction with his deliberate flattery, but there was a smile in his eyes.
The couple chatted and laughed. After dinner, Tao Yumo found Tao Yushu and said, "Sister, please pay me your salary."
Tomorrow is her day to go to work, so Tao Yumo can only put down the fortune tree of her eldest nephew first.
Taking the note from her sister, she spat on her fingers and started counting like a maniac.
She worked for forty-three days during the summer vacation and received a total salary of 64 yuan and 50 cents, which was almost the same as her salary at work.
When Tao Yumo was assigned to the University of Political Science and Law, he had to start as a teaching assistant. The first year was the internship period, and his monthly salary was 49.5 yuan, which could be increased to 56 yuan after one year.
She thought about her future salary and suddenly felt inexplicable emotion.
"Oh, it's so hard to make money!"
Early the next morning, the family sat together to have breakfast. Tao Yumo flipped through the "People's Daily" that had just been delivered to him since he got up early.
A piece of news on the front page caught her eye, which was the document "Decision on Strictly Cracking Down on Criminal Activities" made by ZY.
The "Decision" proposes: Organize one, two, and three campaigns within a three-year period, and resolutely crack down on criminal elements in accordance with the spirit of "severely, quickly, and catch them all" in accordance with the law.
"I don't know what effect it will have this time."
Tao Yumo majored in law, graduated and went to work at the University of Political Science and Law, and now he has also begun to care about social news.
Her newspaper was taken from Lin Chaoyang. No one in this era knew the intensity of this attack better than Lin Chaoyang.
"It will get better!" Lin Chaoyang said quietly.
In the last few days of this summer's summer vacation, the air in Yanjing City was filled with a bit of anxiety, and the vigorous Operation Iron Fist began.
Since September, there has been an endless stream of news on TV stations, radios, newspapers and various news media about criminals who were brought to justice in criminal cases that once deeply hated the common people.
Under the iron fist, all illegal and criminal acts will not only be severely dealt with, but large-scale public trials and sentencing sessions are also indispensable.
Various news comes from time to time from the most beautiful place at the feet of Emperor Yanjing, not to mention other areas in the country.
For the common people, Iron Fist does not have a big impact on their daily lives. The public security environment in recent years has indeed made the common people feel disgusted and hated. The vast majority of people welcome the expansion of YD with both hands.
By the middle of the month, the execution cars were already broadcasting radio broadcasts along the route, promoting the Iron Fist struggle and accusing the prisoners of their crimes.
Not only did it attract countless people in the streets and alleys to watch, but many units also organized young workers to watch the execution on the spot. This was really a warning to the monkeys. From time to time, Lin Chaoyang would hear that some people were frightened and fainted after watching the execution on the spot.
The massive public security rectification campaign will last for a long time. The biggest impact on Lin Chaoyang's life is that several laser studios at the entrance of Yan University have been closed, and Du Feng was so frightened that he stopped what he was doing.
Business.
Given Du Feng's family background, he didn't take Operation Iron Fist seriously at first.
Until a news began to spread in Yanjing City: the grandson of the senator was arrested.
In the past two years, GD has been rampant. Yanjing and Shenzhen are the hardest hit areas. The arrogance of corrupt officials and the second generation has begun to take shape.
After this news came out, the GDs in the Yanjing market who relied on political resources to seek profits suddenly stopped and became more honest than bed bugs on the ground.
Du Feng was different from other GDs. He just did his part in doing some small business, but he couldn't stand the strong wind outside. He was afraid that his little body would be blown apart again if he didn't pay attention.
Iron Fist is Iron Fist, life goes on as usual.
On September 21, "Burning the Old Summer Palace" was released in Hong Kong and the mainland on the same day.
As the painstaking work of the great director Li Hanxiang, "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace" can be said to be full of success when it is released in the mainland.
The film is distributed by China Film Company and enjoys the same treatment as domestic films. Provincial distribution companies at all levels provide full support, and copies are sent to cinemas all over the country for free.
In just a few days, it was screened in a large number of cities across the country, attracting countless audiences into the cinema.
In addition, on the day the movie opened in Hong Kong, the Film Bureau also sent a delegation to Hong Kong to attend the premiere ceremony of the movie. It can be said that it gave Li Hanxiang enough face.
Before the release of "Burning the Old Summer Palace", some Y-style media outlets in Hong Kong published negative articles many times. The starting point of these people was of course not to discuss the movie itself, but to discredit and intimidate those Z-school filmmakers in Hong Kong who tended to the mainland.
But fortunately, "Burning the Old Summer Palace" was very successful after its release in Hong Kong. The box office exceeded HK$800,000 on the first day. Many Z-type media in Hong Kong's press immediately praised the movie.
Xiangjiang's "Wen Wei Po" said: "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace" has a luxurious scene and rare pomp, and perfectly restores the destruction process of the Old Summer Palace, a national treasure. This scene is not only a reproduction of historical events, but also a profound reflection on China's modern history.
.
"Ta Kung Pao" reported that the acting skills and interpretation of the characters by the main actors such as Liu Xiaoqing and Tony Leung successfully conveyed the emotional depth of the characters to the audience. Director Li Hanxiang's lens language is exquisite and the visual effects are shocking, making the audience feel like they are immersed in major historical events.
sense of reality.
Two or three days after the movie was released, in addition to the Z media, neutral media began to comment on the movie one after another, and they were almost unanimously praised.
The media's hype made "Burning the Old Summer Palace" a popular hit in the Hong Kong film industry in September. After its release, the box office skyrocketed, triggering a movie-watching craze among Hong Kong citizens.
Before National Day, Li Hanxiang made a long-distance call to contact Lin Chaoyang and shared with him the grand occasion of "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace".
After several years of hard work, it was finally accomplished.
Li Hanxiang was very proud of himself on the phone, and you could feel his high spirits just by listening to his voice.
The 1980s was the golden age of Hong Kong films. This port city with a population of only a few million gave birth to a number of outstanding filmmakers, whose influence radiated to the three places across the Taiwan Strait, as well as East and Southeast Asia.
At this time in 1983, Hong Kong movies were still in their infancy, and the local box office was experiencing an explosion.
In 1980, the annual box office of Hong Kong movies was only HK$182 million. By 1982, this figure had become HK$404 million.
A movie's release cycle is generally 25 to 30 days. If it can sell for 6 million Hong Kong dollars, it can already enter the top 20 at the annual box office, and it is called a blockbuster.
And this figure was reached in just one week after "Burning the Old Summer Palace" was released. Unsurprisingly, it will become a strong contender for the top three box office rankings in Hong Kong in 1983.
The box office sales represent not only the success of the movie, but also the fact that Li Hanxiang has made money for investors.
"Burning the Old Summer Palace" and "Behind the Curtain" cost a lot of money, millions of Hong Kong dollars were spent, and Li Hanxiang was under great pressure.
Now with the box office trend shown by "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace", this movie has already made back its money and is still making money, not to mention "Behind the Curtain" has not yet been released.
Therefore, it is understandable that Li Hanxiang is high-spirited.
Li Hanxiang chatted about movies on the phone for a few minutes, and then asked Lin Chaoyang why he didn't join the film bureau's delegation to come to Hong Kong.
"They are the official delegation, and I am a non-staff member." Lin Chaoyang said with a smile.
Li Hanxiang said regretfully: "It's a pity that you didn't come. I also want to introduce you to some friends from the Hong Kong film industry. Everyone is full of praise for the script you wrote. I said that you haven't seen the play he wrote, so that's amazing!"
"
Lin Chaoyang and Li Hanxiang would tease and ridicule each other from time to time, and they would feel a little uncomfortable hearing him praise themselves.
I was thinking that if Lao Li couldn't bear it, there was something he needed to do, right?
As expected, after Li Hanxiang finished praising him, he said: "Chaoyang, "Burning the Old Summer Palace" was a great success, and "Behind the Curtain" will be released next month. With this shareholder style, the box office will definitely not be bad. Let's continue to cooperate.
How about the story of Cixi, the demon queen?"
"You want to take pictures of Cixi?"
"Yes, the movie is so profitable, and everyone is urging me to continue filming."
Lin Chaoyang pondered and asked, "Then let's talk about the royalties first."
Li Hanxiang said disgustedly: "You just take money too seriously, and you stink of copper."
"It's okay for others to say that I smell like copper. What qualifications do you have to say that?"
After a few sarcastic remarks at each other, Li Hanxiang returned to the topic, "Twenty thousand yuan, how about it?"
Lin Chaoyang sneered when he heard this, "Old Li, you are making a lot of money and you can still let me drink some soup. I can write scripts for our mainland film studios for more than this."
"You only received 30,000 yuan for writing "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace" and "The Government Behind the Curtain"."
"You still bring this up! You made two movies out of one of my scripts. It's good that I didn't ask for royalties from you!"
We can’t get it for 20,000 yuan, so we won’t talk about it if it’s less than 100,000 yuan.”
Li Hanxiang was furious, "You lion, you are so open-mouthed!"
Chapter completed!
