Chapter Seventy-Four: Old Dai
Winters in the capital are unusually dry.
Even if the snow had fallen a few days ago, the snow had not yet melted on the ground, and the air did not seem to be moist at all, and the corners of people's mouths were dry and dry.
There are not many people on the street, walking hurriedly with their heads down, but there are a few fashionable young people, wearing Xu Wenqiang's popular white scarf, striding with their chests high and full of spirit.
Xu Fei was wearing a half-new and not old padded jacket, wearing a ** hat, and thick hands, wrapped like a widow who had lived alone for many years, impermeable to the wind, and cold and evil.
He found CCTV's family home, kicked away a wild dog, climbed up a building, and knocked three times.
"Squeak!"
The door opened, revealing a kind and gentle face, "Who are you looking for?"
"My name is Xu Fei, and I'm here to visit Dai Lao. ”
"Oh, you're Xiao Xu, come in...... Lao Dai, Xiao Xu is here!"
Mrs. let him into the house, and Dai Linfeng was talking on the phone in the living room, waving his hand, and motioning for him to sit casually.
Xu Fei handed over a bag of snacks, took a cup of tea, and looked at it a little.
I used to write manuscripts that were sent in the same city, and it was the first time I came to my home. With Dai Lao's qualifications and identity, the house is naturally not too bad, the two of them live a little empty, and there are few furnishings, and there is a bit of elegance in the simplicity.
There is a painting on the wall, "Lao Ji is determined to be thousands of miles", and the payment is himself.
He didn't react at first, and then he thought, oh, this sixty-five, already retired. However, people are too important, and CCTV has rehired them as consultants.
The power is still very large, but it is no longer in charge of the affairs of the station, and the focus is on the Chinese TV drama production center under CCTV. not only supervised the production of "Dream of Red Mansions", but also drummed up "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" with his classmates a few years later.
Xu Fei sat in the living room for a while, and was called into the study by Dai Linfeng, each holding a cup of warm tea, which was the first time to chat like this.
"There's been a lot of things lately, and I can't take care of it, how is the crew?"
"It's all good, it's just a lack of funds, Director Wang and Director Ren are panicked all day long. ”
"There is a shortage of funds in the whole station, there is no way. I talked to Ren Dahui a while ago, in fact, you can pull sponsorship, so many state-owned enterprises, collective enterprises, farmers are also rich in contracting, there are a lot of them near the capital, there must be someone to support it. ”
Dai Linfeng drank tea, snorted and didn't pay attention to it, and asked: "You finished filming, do you have any feelings?"
"To be honest, the whole person is relaxed, otherwise there is always something in his heart. I think the desk work is sufficient, and I am worthy of my salary. ”
"Oh, paid?"
"Not yet, the director said wait. ”
"Then you have to rush, it's too late and it's yellow. ”
The two chatted casually, Xu Fei pondered for a while, and finally said: "Dai Lao, I can't hide this little bit of caution from you, I came today to ask for something." ”
"Heh, you kid wrote me six or seven manuscripts, and I've been waiting for you to open your mouth when you can't speak, and I'm not going to be patient until I'm done shooting. ”
Dai Linfeng was not disgusted, and said with a smile: "Say it, I want to hear it too." ”
"Well, it's nothing, I want to stay in the capital and work. ”
"Are there any specific considerations?"
"I've thought about it, but I still like work related to film and television art. ”
He didn't say anything about the media, a concept that was only introduced by the Americans in 1943 and was not yet popular in the country. Not to mention popularity, Communication University of China has no shadow yet, and it still hangs the sign of Beijing Broadcasting Institute.
What is the media? It refers to the information dissemination media, including communications, digital media, radio, television, film, publishing, advertising, news, the Internet, cultural industries, and so on.
This definition is too big, he is afraid that he will say it himself, and he will be kicked out directly by the old man, so he has to conform to the characteristics of the era. It's been called film and television art these years, and he follows suit.
"Hmmm......"
Dai Linfeng seemed to be expected, nodded, did not make any promises, and Xu Fei did not mention it again.
The two of them held the tea, lightly unveiled this article, chatted and talked about the movie version of "Dream of Red Mansions". For the filming of the movie version, the pressure was directly on the top management of CCTV.
It is equivalent to a fight between the two sides, whoever wins will have a good face, and whoever loses will be embarrassed.
"Actually, I don't think there's any need to worry, director Xie Tieli is very good, but the quality of a work does not depend on who is famous, who is definitely good.
We have our own natural advantage, which is the platform of television. Do you think the audience likes to go to the cinema to watch "Dream of Red Mansions", or do they end up eating and watch "Dream of Red Mansions" in front of the TV?"
"Huh. ”
Dai Linfeng was said to be happy, and it was the same when he thought about it.
"Another point is that our advocacy 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, you give me pointers. ”
Xu Fei took out a manuscript and handed it over, and Dai Linfeng took a look: "Dream of Red Mansions" publicity plan proposal.
"During the broadcast of TV dramas, you can engage in some small columns that are low-cost, have a wide audience, and have educational significance. ”
"Hold a knowledge contest for "Dream of Red Mansions", first write a topic in the newspaper, select the contestants in the first place, follow the TV competition, and finally get a small prize for the winner. ”
"After the broadcast every day, it is followed by a small program, inviting scholars to talk about the content of this episode, what are the highlights that need to be noted, and even bringing the actors together to communicate and talk about interesting things during filming, etc. ”
"Print some small albums of "Dream of Red Mansions", hold relevant cultural activities in primary and secondary schools, call for writing impressions, and distribute them for free. ”
“......”
Dai Linfeng just watched the three, and many ideas were already radiating in his head, if the cost is really low, the audience is wide, and it is definitely a national popularity to do it together with the TV series.
This kid!
The old man who was over the age suddenly became excited, as if he had returned to the time when he was doing revolution and creating a career. "Dream of Red Mansions" is like a series of difficulties, and he leads a group of people to overcome them continuously.
The long-lost excitement beats in the cells, and the more it beats, the more I feel that this young man is so peculiar, unhurried, and in his chest.
The two chatted for a long time, and Xu Fei came in the morning and left another lunch.
At the end, Dai Linfeng suddenly asked: "By the way, you have studied TV series so much, do you have any opinions on movies?"
"Movies?"
Xu Fei was stunned, hiding some meaning, "This, I really can't talk about it......"
............
That night, Dai Linfeng read the propaganda plan again, and then took off his reading glasses and rubbed his eyes.
Speaking of which, the two don't see each other much, talk even less, and the collision of ideas is all in this manuscript. He recognizes the talent of young people, and because of this, he feels more and more headaches.
In these years, unit transfers are extremely common, and they are full of magic, such as Ma Weidu, who 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 a matter of saying hello – well, the future as well.
That kid wants to stay in the capital to engage in film and television-related work, and the scope is not large, just a few places.
First of all, it is the Chinese TV drama production center, which is its own territory, and it is also the most selfish, but after careful consideration, it is still vetoed.
CCTV is a national-level mouthpiece, with strong political implications, unfathomable depths, complex personnel, and extremely serious seniority. A young man barged in, he couldn't do anything, the first thing to do was to do miscellaneous qualifications.
He can see that Xu Fei is ambitious, and if he wants to really do something, it may be difficult to do something on CCTV.
If the central word prefix is not good, then he can only go to the next level, Beijing Radio and Television Bureau, Beijing TV Station, he has considered it.
The former is a serious party and government organ and civil servant, and it is not comparable to a public institution. Although I have a little thin noodles, I can't help it, let alone it's not suitable.
"As for the TV station......
Dai Linfeng shook his head, the TV station tends to be conservative, and the main project is still news. It is best to be the kind of unit that is mainly used for film and television, with a simple structure and a relatively open style.
The old man's fingers tapped on the table, and he had an idea.
