The Beijing Film Studio is very large, with the factory area at the front door and the living area at the back.
There are several tube buildings in the living area, and each floor has a long corridor that runs through more than a dozen households. Each household is small, and pots, pans, etc. can only be piled in the corridor. When it is time to eat, the smell of cooking smoke fills the building.
It's pretty good now, but in the 1980s, there were more and more employees at the Beijing Film Studio, and there simply wasn't enough housing.
Single people can sleep in the office, married people, and those with children have no choice but to fight over the apartment. There is an actress named Gai Lili. She stayed at the Beijing Film Studio for a few years. At that time, another actress got married and she was photographed.
While she was out filming, he pried open the door of her dormitory for singles, threw her things out, and openly occupied it.
All I can say is that a house is important no matter what time it is.
After finishing filming that day, in the evening, the four main actors, Tang Guoqiang, Gong Xue, Zhang Jinling, and Chen Qi, gathered in Tongzilou.
"Come in, come in, you're just in time, I've just finished buying groceries!"
"Sit wherever you want, don't see anyone outside, eat sweets, eat sweets, there are also melon seeds!"
Wang Haowei greeted the couple warmly, and Chen Qi looked at the house. It was about a dozen square meters, very cramped, but it was neatly packed, and most of the things there were books.
Needless to say, Tang Guoqiang's daughter-in-law has energy. Zhang Jinling just got married and got a similar one. Gong Xue was a little envious because she still lived in a dormitory in the army and did not have her own house.
As for Chen Qi, he is a prostitute who can do it forever.
After chatting for a while, Wang Haowei said: "You guys sit down first, I bought meat specially and made some side dishes for you."
"How can I let you do it? Let's do it. Let's do it!"
"Don't mention it, you are guests."
Being a man of the world, Gong Xue took the initiative to strike. Chen Qi could do it too, but he was lazy.
He walked outside and saw that every household was cooking. The smells were mixed, fragrant and strange. Gong Xue turned over the ingredients and said in surprise: "Did you buy hairtail?"
"It took a lot of effort to grab it. It's a serious winter-flood hairtail fish, produced in Zhoushan. Have you been to Zhoushan?"
"I went there twice when I was a kid. The hairtail fish is really good. Look at the size. It's the most expensive one you bought, right? It's only 38 cents per pound."
"Look at it!"
In order to get the emotional value she wanted, Wang Hao hugged Gong Xue's shoulders and praised: "This is called a person who lives a good life. Jin Ling, you can't do that, you are careless!"
"Yeah, yeah, I'll eat it!" Zhang Jinling didn't care.
In 1957, there was a great harvest of hairtail in the south. The capital purchased 150,000 kilograms of fresh hairtail, and more than one million kilograms more the following year. This product has large output, high quality and low price, and is very suitable for promotion.
Cadres from every street and commune went out to promote it, saying that hairtail fish is high in iodine and can prevent big neck disease. It is delicious and should be bought quickly.
In this way, the people in the capital began to eat hairtail from the south. The hairtail from Zhoushan was the best. The wider the fish, the more expensive it was.
"What do you want to do?"
"Stew, we all stew."
"Stew it? In fact, the braised one is also delicious, as is the sweet and sour one."
Gong Xue suggested with a smile, but someone was looking for trouble from behind like a ghost: "Hey, your Shanghainese food is rich in oil and red in sauce. We can't do it. We are light-hearted. Director Wang's seasonings don't cost money?"
"Then fry it before stewing it, it will taste better."
“There’s no charge for gas, either?”
Tsk!
Gong Xue turned around and glared at him, why was he so annoying?
"Go inside and poke this obstruction!"
Wang Haowei threw him into the house and said: "Xiao Gong, let's stew. We will cook the soup and water in one pot and have a fun time eating."
"Well, it's up to you."
Gong Xue nodded, picked up a basin of hairtail, and quickly packed it away.
Although the oil is expensive, it is a treat today. After a while, she lit the briquette stove, put in the ingredients, and simmered slowly. After a while, the aroma filled the air.
"Hey, here's a treat!"
"It smells like a thirty-eight hairtail fish. Can you give one to our family?"
"Your family didn't even give us a piece of the big knuckle yesterday. Come on in!"
The neighbors came out to make fun of her. Wang Haowei bid farewell to her role as a director and became a homely lady. The more she watched Gong Xue, the more she liked him and said, "Xiao Gong, when will you return to the army?"
"I'll go back tomorrow."
"You are such a good kid. You don't have to choose anything. If there is a suitable role for you in the future, we will cooperate again."
"Well, thank you, Director Wang!"
Gong Xue smiled.
Due to her upbringing, she is actually a bit of a pleaser. She is afraid of offending others and is very concerned about what others think of her. Of course, she has a purposeful side when she behaves in front of Wang Haowei. This is normal, but it is different from Liu Xiaoqing's fierceness.
Women are different.
Liu Xiaoqing can risk everything just to climb up.
Not long after, the food was served. Of course, there was a large pot of stewed hairtail, surrounded by several plates of side dishes, including rice and steamed buns. A bottle of wine was also specially prepared.
"Is anyone drinking?"
"There are mostly lesbians, so I won't drink it," Tang Guoqiang said.
"It's hard to explain when you get home, isn't it?"
Tang Guoqiang rolled his eyes at him and was too lazy to pay attention. Chen Qi said happily: "Old Tang doesn't drink, and I don't drink either."
"Then let me say a few words first..."
At first glance, Wang Haowei is the one who calls the shots at home, and he said without hesitation: "It took more than half a year for Xiao Chen to write the script for "Romance in Lushan Mountain", and finally the filming was completed.
This was a very pleasant experience. We all got along very well, and there weren’t so many nonsense incidents. You don’t have much filming experience, so you may not know how difficult it is to have a peaceful crew.
So I would like to thank you, let’s have tea instead of wine!”
A few people touched each other and then started to eat. It is not easy to have a good meal these days, so they respect the food very much.
Chen Qi picked up a piece of hairtail, which had been stewed until the bones were crispy and the meat was rotten. He took off the thorns on one side with his hands, then followed the middle section of the thorns, opened his mouth and said, "Wow, that smells so good!"
After eating two pieces, he quickly scooped up the soup and said, "Drink the soup. The soup is the most nutritious. All the hairtail essence is in the soup."
"You just eat, don't keep talking, who doesn't know how to drink soup?" Tang Guoqiang was dissatisfied.
"I want soup with rice, this is so delicious!"
Chen Qi made a bowl of rice, and it was gone in the blink of an eye. He was too embarrassed to add another bowl, so he picked up a steamed bun and looked at it for a long time.
"What's wrong with you?" Tang Guoqiang asked.
"I'm thinking, if I cut it into steamed buns, deep-fry it, wrap it in a thick layer of sesame sauce, and sprinkle it with a thick layer of soft white sugar, then take one bite, hey!"
Everyone was happy. Zhang Jinling's big face trembled with her plate as she smiled and said: "Xiao Chen, you always act like a little adult. You only act like a child when you are eating."
"What kid? Have you ever seen a kid my age?"
"You are such a child sometimes, and you are also very naughty." Wang Haowei confirmed.
"This is called childlike innocence, you don't understand!"
Without the filming task, everyone was relaxed and chatting happily all over the world. They all had their own purposes. Wang Haowei's treat was also to win favors, but it did not hinder their friendship.
"Xiao Gong, will you return to the army tomorrow?"
"Um!"
"Then Xiao Chen's mission is completed, do you want to leave too?"
"I'm not leaving. I'm writing a new script. I'll stay in the guest house and eat and drink for free."
He is shy and has no shame.
Wang Haowei also said something from the bottom of his heart: "It doesn't matter if you live in the factory as a screenwriter, everyone will treat you as an outsider. Once you come in, I mean if you want to come in, you will face another story.
What a sight.”
"I understand, I already feel that some people don't like me." Chen Qi said with a smile.
Chapter completed!
