Chapter 27 Director

Teresa Teng was introduced to the mainland in the late 1970s.
A small number of tapes were brought back from business trips, but most were smuggled in from the south.
At this time, it was still the original tape, because dubbing with a single-card recorder was very troublesome. By the early 1980s, blank tapes were used for dubbing, with no cover and no lyrics. People listened to a sentence, took notes, and passed it back and forth.
For quite some time, Teresa Teng's songs were all underground music, listened to secretly.
There are also some children of high-ranking cadres who lock the door, draw the curtains, put on "Sweet Honey", and the men and women start to dance "erotic dance." The so-called erotic dance is nothing more than a ballroom dance with tighter hugs.
Of course, there is also fun, that is really erotic.
Teresa Teng's extravagant music is earth-shattering to the people of Mainland China. One Teresa Teng and one Yang Yuying are the dream lovers of countless middle-aged and elderly men. This refers to the fathers and grandfathers. Those born in the 80s and 90s are nostalgic. That must be
Jay Chou, Stefanie Sun, the three giants of QQ music...
In short, Chen Qi bought three tapes and successfully turned his father into a die-hard fan.
Dad quickly fell into the music of Mi Mi. Every night he would lock the door and listen to it for a while, humming along, which made Yu Xiuli very dissatisfied.
Chen Qi has been back for a few days, and during this period he treated his friends to a meal.
The tickets we all collected together were not much. Thirteen people plus Aunt Wang only ate for a dozen yuan in total, which was an average of one yuan per person. But it was quite filling. Although it beats the customers these days, the portion is substantial.
It’s noon today.
In a utility room in the street office, Chen Qi was rummaging through several broken boxes, which were filled with colorful plastic sandals. They were simple in workmanship and were very abrasive to wear barefoot, but they were brightly colored, sturdy, and not afraid of getting dirty on rainy days.
You can also wade through water.
"One hundred pairs of men's shoes for adults, one hundred pairs of women's shoes, and three hundred pairs of children's shoes. They say children's shoes are the best sellers."
"What's the selling price?"
"Men's shoes are 6 yuan, women's shoes are 2 yuan, and children's shoes are 1 yuan. This is the market price. Our purchase price is very cheap. The second plastic factory sold half of the shoes and gave them half for free, so it only cost 200 yuan in total."
"Did you give money?"
"Give it!"
"Remember from now on, press him for a few months before paying. If you can get it for free, then it will be for free."
Chen Qi polluted the great red heart of a socialist fighter and said: "If we sell them, we will add two cents to each pair of shoes."
"Ah? Why are you raising the price?"
"We don't want tickets. Of course it's a bit more expensive. It's only a 20 cent increase. It's very conscientious."
After hearing this, Huang Zhanying took out a small abacus from his bag, played with it for a while, and shouted: "If we sell them all, we will make a net profit of more than 1,000 yuan!"
"Comrade Zhanying, how many times have I told you that with a bigger picture and a broader vision, millions of pairs of these sandals can be sold in Beijing in one summer. We need to eat as much as we can."
Just as he was talking, someone outside shouted: "Xiao Chen? Xiao Chen?"
"Old Liang?"
Chen Qi took a look and saw that it was Liang Xiaosheng.
"After asking many people, I finally found you. Come back to the factory with me."
"What's wrong?"
"The director of "Lushan Love" has been decided!"
As soon as he heard this, he stood up immediately, shouted to Huang Zhanying, "I'm leaving first," and followed Liang Xiaosheng out. Huang Zhanying shook his head, the literary and artistic front really corrodes people, it didn't take long before he was shaken.

Beijing Film Studio learned the model from the Soviet Union and created four major creative collectives.
Each creative collective has a core director, several other directors, as well as photography, art, props, etc., which together form a complete production team.
The core of the first group is Shui Hua, whose representative works are "The White-Haired Girl", "Lin's Shop" and "Eternal Life in the Fire".
The core of the second group is Cui Wei, whose masterpieces include "Little Soldier Zhang Ga" and "Song of Youth". Chen Huaikai is also from this group and belongs to the "other directors".
The core of the third group is Ling Zifeng, whose masterpiece is "Red Flag Book" and the later "Camel Xiangzi".
The core of the fourth collective is Cheng Yin, whose representative works are "The War in the South and the North" and "The Story of the Red Lantern".
These four are the four great directors mentioned earlier, also known as the four great marshals.
Later, two more Xies were added: Xie Tieli and Xie Tian.
The above are the top creative forces of Beijing Film Studio. In addition, there are also a group of powerful Mesozoic directors, all of whom are included in the "other directors". Other film studios can only covet them, and Beijing Film Studio can wholesale them, which shows its strength.
In fact, this model is the same in form as the Hollywood producer team, but the difference is that one is a director-centered system and the other is a producer-centered system.
Beijing Film Studio selected a Mesozoic actor for "Romance in Lushan Mountain".
My name is Wang Haowei, a female director whose masterpieces include "Haixia" and "Look at This Family".
She is only 39 years old this year and graduated from Nortel's directing department. She received this assignment a few days ago and accepted it without hesitation. She immediately read the script thoroughly and felt that it was almost ready, so she asked to meet Chen Qi.
Wang Haowei, who is not tall and has short ear-length hair, is already sitting in the small conference room waiting.
It is said that the proportion of female directors in this era is very high, and the success rate is extremely amazing. The director of "Journey to the West" Yang Jie knows that "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" also has a female director named Cai Xiaoqing, who is also a hero.
For example, the burning of Red Cliff, a big scene with 2,500 people, the highlight of the whole drama, was filmed by Cai Xiaoqing... This will be left to future generations, how can I lose 300 kilograms of meat without losing weight?
She waited for a while, listening to the sound of footsteps outside.
Liang Xiaosheng came in first, followed by a young man who was too young.
"This is director Wang Haowei, and this is Chen Qi!"
"Hello, hello, sorry, I just came over after I went home."
"It was me who was abrupt, I'm sorry..."
Wang Haowei smiled and shook hands with him. There was a big height difference between the two of them, which made them look a little funny. Chen Qi was always humble and polite in front of these seniors, and he only sat down when others were seated.
"The factory gave me this task. I've been reading the script these days and writing down some insights."
She took a notebook and said with a smile: "This is my note. Let's talk about it first, and then you can take it back and take a look."
"No, no, no, I'm just following your guidance!"
"You can't say that. There is a script first and then there is a movie. We must reach a consensus and have unified thoughts, otherwise we won't be able to make it. I'll be honest, and if you have any ideas, feel free to tell me."
Um?
Chen Qi was stunned. His soul, which had been tainted by the cesspit, suddenly encountered purity, and he was still a little uncomfortable.
Immediately, the two started chatting.
First of all, the film was positioned as a scenic lyrical film. It did not deliberately express "persecution", "humanity torrent", etc., but centered on the theme of "love", love for people, love for mountains and rivers, and love for the motherland.
It is necessary to express positive emotions and build a new era.
This is different from the currently popular "scar literature". The core of scar literature is criticism and reflection on the torrent of humanity, with a sad tone... To be honest, Chen Qi has never been interested in scar literature.
"It seems we have a tacit understanding! We have thought of many things together."
Wang Haowei smiled more and more kindly and said: "Okay, now that the theme and ideology are unified, let's talk about the selection of actors!"
Chapter completed!
