Su Bai took a sip lightly, walked up to Xu Wangqiu, put his right hand on his shoulder, and held his waist with his left hand, "I want to dance with you, dance with me for a while." ”

Xu Wangqiu knew that Su Bai was going to dance with him now, he didn't really want to dance, he was just reluctant to go by himself. He gently hugged Su Bai and said softly, "Since you are interested, then we will dance for a while." ”

Xu Wangqiu knew that he would go to Xiangjiang to make a movie and stay in Xiangjiang for several months, just like he did in Dongying last year to shoot "A Game of Chess That Didn't End". After returning from West Berlin, Xu Wangqiu would always try to spend time with Su Bai after work. Together, they go shopping, go out into the countryside, have a tryst in the park at night, or attend a dance party organized by the company.

On Chinese New Year's Eve 1979, the country held a gala dance in the General Assembly Hall, the place where national events were decided, and dancing became fashionable. Since then, dance hall signs have been hung in the streets of the city's bustling neighborhoods. The daring youth even danced in the park, in the square, in the suburbs, in ballroom dancing and also disco. The TV series "Days Related to Youth" has a description of this history, and young people practice dancing together when they have nothing to do.

However, due to the phenomenon of young men and women spontaneously gathering to dance ballroom dancing in parks, squares and other public places in major cities across the country, it has brought many problems to public order. In June 1980, the state issued a notice prohibiting ballroom dancing in parks, squares and other public places. After the "Notice" came out, the reality of dancing in public disappeared, but the dance steps did not stop, but it was transferred to the private living room, and the family dance party began to rise.

The advent of family dance parties has also led to the popularity of veneer dancing among young people. A group of young men and women closed the curtains in the room, played music with confidence, and hugged each other in the dark, naturally doing whatever they wanted, and they were not ashamed. During the 1983 crackdown, many men and women were even shot in prison for dancing veneer dance.

Commercial balls have been banned, but public non-commercial balls continue to be held. The export company's ball is organized by the company's trade union and is held on Saturday and Sunday in the company's auditorium. Because the company has a lighting department, there are masters of lighting such as Zhang Yimou and Gu Changwei, and the lighting of the export company's dance is particularly beautiful, and a lot of tricks have been made. There is a moonlight ball, which uses lights to imitate the blue moonlight, a candlelight ball, where some lights flicker on and off, and a sunshine ball, which is brightly lit and full of clouds......

The export company is a pure film production company, without its own actor troupe, the majority of the company members are men, and young girls are scarce. In order to solve the problem of dance partners, and to make it easier for the young people of the company to find a partner, the company allows young men and women in the cultural system to participate in the dance with a work permit. The young girls of the Beijing Film Studio and the Song and Dance Troupe often come to the dance party together. In recent months, "Listening to Politics with a Curtain" has been filmed in Beiping, and the crew of "Listening to Politics with a Curtain" has also been invited to attend the ball. The film's leading actors, Liu Xiaoqing, Liang Jiahui and others, all appeared at the dance.

Xu Wangqiu and Su Bai are not too keen on dancing, but Wu Zhiliu and they like to dance, Liu Lin and Gu Changwei are especially active, and they run to the dance party when they have time, hoping to solve the problem of the object through the dance. When they ran to the ball, they always didn't forget to call Xu Wangqiu. Because Xu Wangqiu has unparalleled influence among young people, there are countless girls who like him and have a crush on him. Liu Lin and the others just used Xu Wangqiu as a signboard to attract the girls from the Beijing Film Studio and the Song and Dance Troupe to participate in the ball.

Xu Wangqiu would always call Su Bai every time he went to the ball, and the two of them would go together. When Su Bai was away, he rarely went to the ball, and even if he did, he didn't dance, he just sat with other people and chatted.

It's not that Xu Wangqiu is a saint, it's that he doesn't want these bullshit things to become a weapon for others to attack him. In the last life, Wu Tianmin reformed in the West Film Studio, and countless people sued him in the province. Every year, the province will send an investigation team to investigate Wu Tianmin. If it weren't for Wu Tianmin's innocence, I'm afraid he would have been wiped out to the end a long time ago. Xu Wangqiu faced a hundredfold or even a thousand times the enemy of Wu Tianmin, and these people hated him and couldn't get rid of him quickly, so he had to be strict with himself and try not to let the enemy have a handle to grasp.

Dancing with Xu Wangqiu around him for a while, Su Bai leaned his head on Xu Wangqiu's shoulder, and said softly, "What do you say we are doing, I often have to go out for interviews when you are at home, and when I don't interview, you have to go out to make movies again, and you are separated for most of the year." Wangqiu, have you ever thought about finding a peer to be your wife, so that she can work and live with you, which is also good for your career. ”

Xu Wangqiu was slightly stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect Su Bai to think like this, and comforted him softly, "I've thought about this problem, but when I think of not being able to be with you, I feel that the whole world is gray and everything is meaningless." I'm not the kind of person whose career is bigger than the sky, and my family is more important in my heart. It's just that there are some things I have to do. When I'm done with these things, I won't be as busy as I am now. When the time comes, let's put Nanshan away, no longer care about other things, and live our free life behind closed doors. ”

Su Bai didn't know if Xu Wangqiu was coaxing herself to be happy, but she was really moved when she heard this. Her good friend Liu Cancan and her boyfriend were assigned to a unit, and the two stuck together all day long. Seeing Liu Cancan with her boyfriend all day long, she was really envious. Now when I heard Xu Wangqiu say this, I couldn't help asking, "Then how long will it take for you to complete what you want to do?"

Xu Wangqiu thought for a while and said, "It will probably take ten years." ”

When he woke up the next morning, Xu Wangqiu looked at Su Bai, who was still asleep, and kissed her lightly on the forehead. He put on his clothes, stood by the bed and moved his body, then went outside to wash.

Xu Wangqiu finished washing up and returned to the room, Su Bai hadn't gotten up yet. He walked up to Su Bai, reached out and stroked the hair on her face, and said softly, "Old girl, I'm leaving." You need to be fine at home, call me if anything. ”

Su Bai got up from the bed, hugged Xu Wangqiu hard, and told softly, "You are away alone, no one takes care of you, you must pay attention to your diet, and you must eat on time......"

Su Bai had already told Su Bai these words last night, but at this time, Xu Wangqiu was leaving, and she couldn't help but repeat what she had said last night. Xu Wangqiu didn't have any impatience, listened carefully, and kept nodding and saying "yes". Su Bai told him for six or seven minutes before he let go of his arm and watched Xu Wangqiu leave with tears in his eyes.

When Xu Wangqiu walked into the waiting hall of the airport with his luggage, Zhang Yimou had already arrived. The movie "Cold" was jointly shot by Yindu Agency and Xia Meng's Jade Bird, and all the content was filmed in Xiangjiang, and the export company did not need to send a production director. There was no one else who went to Xiangjiang to shoot this time, only the two of them, and the actors and crew were looking for them in Xiangjiang.

Xu Wangqiu walked up to Zhang Yimou and sat down, found that he looked tired, and joked with a smile, "Lao Mou, you are known for your energy, when you were in school before, you slept four or five hours a day, and I didn't see you like this." Did you think that you couldn't see your daughter-in-law for more than half a year, and you couldn't give up, so you tossed for half a night last night. ”

Zhang Yimou shook his head with a smile and said, "Where do you want to go?" Xiao Hua is seven months pregnant, she always gets up at night, and she often vomits, and I don't sleep well at night because I take care of her. ”

Xu Wangqiu heard that Zhang Yimou's wife was seven months pregnant, and immediately said, "It's already seven months, it's not going to be born soon." Then don't go to Xiangjiang, stay in the company, and let Lao Gu be a photographer. At this time, Xiao Hua needs care and care, and you should be by her side. ”

When Zhang Yimou heard this, he said with a resolute expression, "Lao Gu didn't participate in the preliminary preparations of "Cold" at all, if he was allowed to come, he would definitely need time to adapt, it would be a waste of time." Besides, Xiao Hua is not so squeamish. I discussed with her that her sister would send her back to Chang'an after I left. The family will take care of her. No need to worry. ”

Xu Wangqiu saw Zhang Yimou say this, and did not persuade again. He knew that Zhang Yimou was more ambitious, plus he was born in the Black Five category, and he was older than other classmates, so Zhang Yimou was extremely eager to succeed and hoped to get ahead. If he didn't let Zhang Yimou go to Xiangjiang, he would not only not be grateful to himself, but would blame himself.

The two waited in the departure hall for nearly an hour when the news of boarding came on the radio. Xu Wangqiu and Zhang Yimou carried their luggage and walked towards the ticket gate. After entering the cabin, Xu Wangqiu and the others followed the stewardess's prompts, came to their place, and put the salute in the salute rack. Xu Wangqiu sat on the plane with three seats in a row, Zhang Yimou sat by the window, Xu Wangqiu sat in the middle, and sitting on Xu Wangqiu's right hand was a young man of twenty-seven or eighteen years old with glasses.

Because he didn't sleep well because he took care of his pregnant wife at night, Zhang Yimou fell asleep on his seat soon after he sat down. Although Xu Wangqiu tossed with Su Bai for most of the night, he was only a little weak, and his mental state was not affected in any way, and he leaned back on the chair and thought about this trip to Xiangjiang.

Just thinking about it, the young man next to him looked at Xu Wangqiu and asked with a smile, "Excuse me, are you Mr. Xu Wangqiu?"

Xu Wangqiu glanced at the young man, with a smile on his face, nodded and said, "Yes, I'm Xu Wangqiu!"

The young man stretched out his hand to Xu Wangqiu and said enthusiastically, "Hello, Mr. Xu, I like your movie very much." After "The Rape", "The Falcon", and "A Game of Chess That Wasn't Finished" were released in Xiangjiang, I went to watch them all, and I watched them several times. What are you doing in Xiangjiang, is there a new film to be released in Xiangjiang?"

Xu Wangqiu stretched out his hand and shook hands with the young man, "No, I'm going to Xiangjiang to make a movie." What do you do?"

The young man introduced himself, "My name is Zhang Xuanlong, and I came to Peking this time to discuss business. ”

When Xu Wangqiu heard the name Zhang Xuanlong, and he was from Xiangjiang, he couldn't help but move in his heart, it wouldn't be such a coincidence, wouldn't he be the Zhang Xuanlong I was going to look for in Xiangjiang. He said quietly, "You are from Xiangjiang, listening to your accent, I thought you were from Fujian." ”

Zhang Xuanlong explained with a smile, "I was born in Quanzhou and grew up in Quanzhou. Originally, I was teaching in Quanzhou Middle School, but my father went to Xiangjiang in '72 to do business in Xiangjiang, and I also went to Xiangjiang in '78 to help in my father's company. So, I speak with a Fujian accent. ”

Xu Wangqiu pretended to be suddenly enlightened: "So that's the case." Now the country is reforming and opening up, and is engaged in economic construction, but the country is very poor, and overseas children like you need to come back and invest. Speaking of which, he said quietly, "By the way, what kind of business do you have?" ”

Zhang Xuanlong did not hide it, and said with a smile, "We mainly do chips, and we also do the business of monitors and Apple computers. ”

Xu Wangqiu heard that Zhang Xuanlong was doing chip business, and his heart was ecstatic, he was right, this is really a wish, I originally planned to go to Zhang Xuanlong after arriving in Xiangjiang, but I didn't expect that I was bumped into the plane before I arrived in Xiangjiang, which is really a coincidence!
