In the process of filming "Hoe Rape", Xie Fei listened to the students talk about the experience of being an educated youth in the Great Northern Wilderness, and his heart was quite touched. After the film was made, he wrote the story told by the students into a script called "Our Field". Influenced by "The Rape", he planned to make "Our Field" into a documentary-style film.

However, after the script of "My Field" was written, Xie Fei never found investment. This year, the situation of various film studios is a little different from last year, this year various literary journals have resumed publication, gushing out like a spring, and film scripts are no longer as scarce as last year;

Nortel's "Sakura" passed the review of China Film Company a few days ago, and after paying off the 180,000 borrowed from the Ministry of Culture, it earned 720,000. However, the school thought that Xie Fei filmed "Fire Baby" last year and "Hoe Rape" this year, and should give other teachers the opportunity to make movies, so they gave the money to Zhang Nuanxin and Zheng Dongdong to let them shoot "Sand Gull" and "Neighbors".

Xie Fei had no other way but to resist his inner creative impulse and wait for the opportunity to shoot again in the future. But at this moment, Xu Wangqiu came to the door and told Xie Fei that there was help to help him solve the problem of funds.

Xie Fei was particularly excited: ""Our Field" has been rejected by Beijing Film Studio and Magic Film Studio, you won't let me find Xiuying Studio, can "Our Field" pass the review of Xiuying Studio?"

Xu Wangqiu chuckled and shook his head: "The tone of "Our Field" is too low and the mood is too gray, and now the literary and artistic circles are criticizing this more fiercely, and the possibility of passing the review of the Arts Management Committee is relatively small. "Our Field" is a small-budget movie, and more than 200,000 should be enough. I don't think it's as good as this, it's better to ask for others than to ask for ourselves, and we will find our own way to make money. ”

Xie Fei was stunned when he heard this: "Wangqiu, you won't be joking, right?more than 200,000, where are we going to earn it?"

Xu Wangqiu chuckled: "I have an idea, if we operate it properly, it is possible to earn more than 200,000 yuan." ”

Xie Fei knew that Xu Wangqiu had a lot of ideas and a lot of ideas, so he hurriedly asked, "What idea?"

Xu Wangqiu said slowly: "We borrowed a group of actors from various song and dance troupes in the name of the school, and after borrowing the actors, we organized concerts and performed in several big cities in the country. In the case of the Capital Indoor Stadium, for example, there are 18,000 seats, and if we assume that there are five performances at the Capital Indoor Stadium, there will be 90,000 spectators. If we earn 5 cents per audience, that's 40,000. In addition to Beiping, we performed 15 times in Tianjin, Modu, and Yangcheng. In these four cities, our income is at least 150,000 yuan, and if the situation is good, it may reach 200,000 yuan. In addition to ticket revenue, we can also cooperate with record clubs to record concerts. If you sell your records, should you give us a share of the money, this is another income. In this concert, we will invite composers to write new songs, and we will release a new batch of new people and a new batch of songs. After watching the concert, the audience heard a lot of beautiful new songs, did they want to learn? But there was nowhere to learn them. It doesn't matter, we can sell songbooks. We earn 2 cents for a book, and 100,000 copies are 20,000. As long as this concert is done, the money will be falling on our heads!"

As a red second generation and a literary youth, Xie Fei has never thought about how to make money, and he has never even thought about making money. Now after listening to Xu Wangqiu's description, he was simply dumbfounded, and he had a thought in his heart, Wocao, it can still be like this! It took a few seconds to come back to his senses: "Wangqiu, you must have been a profiteer in your last life. Otherwise, how could they come up with so many ways to make money?"

Xu Wangqiu thought to himself that I was really not a profiteer in my previous life, and I was also a literary and artistic youth, so I was forced, and protested with a smile: "Teacher Xie Fei, I am kind enough to help you, but you say that I am a profiteer, it is really difficult to be a good person!

"I didn't say I didn't want to!" Xie Fei saw that Xu Wangqiu was about to throw off his sleeves and leave, so he hurriedly grabbed him, "I'm just kidding, you're still thinking about me." Am I wrong? You continue to talk about the concert, how do you get this?"

Xu Wangqiu said with a smile: "I think so, we are about to enter the 80s, the country has begun to reform and open up, and China has truly entered a new era." With the theme of 'Entering the New Era', we will hold a concert and launch a group of new people and a group of new songs. The hope of the country lies in the youth, and the future of the nation also lies in the youth. We just hope that through this concert, we can show the spirit of the young people of that year, so that the clean air and vigorous vitality will spread throughout the society!"

Xie Fei's eyes lit up when he heard "Entering a New Era", and he said excitedly: "This theme is very good, but can this work? We are a film academy, and our school organizes performances, is the song and dance troupe willing to let the actors in the troupe participate?"

Xu Wangqiu said confidently: "Our school and the song and dance troupe are both cultural systems, and they are fraternal units, so shouldn't the brothers have a hard time? Besides, when we hold such a concert, we are also helping the song and dance troupe discover new talents and help them launch new songs! For the song and dance troupe, it is also an achievement, so what reason do they have to refuse?"

Xie Fei felt that it made sense, but he was still a little worried: "But what about the audience? In Beiping, there are five performances, that is, 90,000 audiences, will there be so many audiences to watch our performance?"

Xu Wangqiu said with a smile: "The ten years of the movement have made the people's desire for literary and artistic life unprecedented. Even many amateur performances that are not of a good level are overcrowded. Not to mention anything else, take "Hoe Rape" as an example, two months after the movie was released, the number of moviegoers of 5mm film has exceeded 100 million, and the final number of moviegoers will exceed 100 million. With the addition of 16mm copies, the number of moviegoers is likely to exceed 700 million. Many viewers watched it not once or twice, but five or ten times. As long as our concert program is good, the audience doesn't have to worry at all. Teacher Xie Fei, let me ask you, if we invite Guo Lanying and Li Guyi to perform, do you want to watch it?"

Xie Fei's eyes lit up when he heard Guo Lanying, Guo Lanying is a people's artist, and it can be said that everyone knows it in China, if Guo Lanying is invited to sing, do you have to worry about not being able to sell tickets? But he quickly calmed down: "That's Guo Lanying, she performs so much, will she participate in our performances?"

Xu Wangqiu also knew that this matter was difficult: "I don't dare to pack a ticket for this." If we sincerely invite and add a good song, it is possible to move. But either way, I thought I could try. If we try, it's at least one chance. If we don't try, we won't even have a chance. You're right?"

Xie Fei felt that this was very reasonable, and got up and said, "Let's go, let's go to Dean Lu!"

When Xu Wangqiu and Xie Fei came to the office of Lu Meng, the leader of the school's leadership group, Lu Meng was reading the documents. When Lu Meng saw Xu Wangqiu and Xie Fei coming in, he asked them what was the matter. Xu Wangqiu said the idea of raising money for the film through concerts, but he said it in a high-sounding way, in order to reduce the burden on the school, so that the teachers and students of the school have more opportunities to practice.

Lu Meng smiled after listening to Xu Wangqiu's words: "You kid, you can really toss." ”

Xu Wangqiu protested with a smile: "How can I call this a toss? I am obviously worrying about the school, in order to give teachers and classmates more opportunities to practice." ”

Lu Meng bowed slightly: "Your idea sounds good, but is there a specific plan?"

Xu Wangqiu put the plan that had already been made in front of Lu Meng: "This is our plan. ”

Lu Meng picked up the plan and slowly flipped through it. The plan is not long, only less than five pages, but it contains a detailed analysis of the market for performances, and lists detailed data on the capital market; and a detailed analysis of the expenditure, income, and profitability of the entire performance, and the entire plan is detailed in content and has very strong feasibility.

To be able to write such a detailed plan, it must have done research on the entire market, otherwise it is impossible to write such a practical and actionable plan. This is definitely not Xie Fei's doing, his personality is free and loose, and he can't make such a plan. This kid is too organized, and he will definitely be able to achieve great things in the future!

Lu Meng closed the plan, looked at Xu Wangqiu, and said slowly: "Your plan is doing well, I support your idea." However, holding a concert is a big thing, and it is impossible for me to have the final say, and I must wait for the school leadership team to study before deciding. I will meet with the rest of the school leaders as soon as possible to discuss this. ”

In the afternoon of the next day, Xu Wangqiu and Xie Fei received a notice from the school, agreeing that they would hold a concert called "Into the New Era"; however, the school thought that if they borrowed actors from the song and dance troupe with the school's fame, they would not necessarily agree, and it would be much easier if there was an approval from the Ministry of Culture. The school asked Xu Wangqiu to write an application form, and the school submitted a formal application to the Ministry of Culture.

Xu Wangqiu, Xu Wangchuan and Xie Fei tossed for several hours and finally wrote the application materials. When Lu Meng went to work the next morning, Xu Wangqiu and Xie Fei handed over the materials to him. Lu Meng was very satisfied with the application materials written by Xu Wangqiu and them, and said that he would send the materials to the ministry as soon as possible.

Coming out of the office, Xu Wangqiu and Xie Fei called Xu Wangchuan, who was waiting outside, to discuss the next steps. The approval is definitely no problem, but it takes time for the approval to come down, it may take a week as soon as it is, or half a month if it is slow. The concert can't wait, it's already December, and if you don't move quickly, the Spring Festival will be coming soon. When everyone is busy with the New Year, I'm afraid they won't have the heart to watch the show.

Xie Fei wrenched his fingers and said, "The concert is scheduled for January 15th, and we only have more than 40 days. We had to contact the actors as soon as possible, and the song had to be resolved as soon as possible. Xu Wangqiu told Xie Fei that he knew that there was a very powerful composer, and he would invite this composer to compose music when the time came, but Xie Fei forgot the composer's name: "Didn't you say that you know a very powerful composer, what's it called?"

Xu Wangchuan chuckled and said, "It's called Gu Jianfen." ”

"Yes, it is Gu Jianfen, the creator of the Central Song and Dance Troupe. Xu Wangqiu took out Gu Jianfen's address and raised it. Gu Jianfen's address was helped by Hu Mei. Hu Mei's father is the head of the General Political Art Troupe, and she is familiar with the people in various song and dance troupes, so it is easy to help Xu Wangqiu find out, "I have the address of Teacher Gu Jianfen, let's go find her now!"
