Chapter 19: Sunset Street

It's like the chaotic state in Hong Yanwu's mind.

In July, the capital also entered a special period of rapid development in all aspects, and the values and ideas from all walks of life collided continuously.

For example, Zhang Hua, a student of the Air Force Medical Department of the Fourth Medical University of the People's Liberation Army, died honorably to rescue an old farmer who had fallen into a manure pit and shook the whole country.

And this has sparked a great discussion of values in society.

Many people think that Zhang Hua is "not worthy", and they regard life as a simple arithmetic problem, believing that this move is "gold for stone".

On July 16, the upper echelons of the state approved the "Regulations on Self-financed Students Studying Abroad", which also aroused enthusiastic responses among intellectuals, especially college students.

Because the regulations point out that in order to ensure the completion of the talent training plan, undergraduates, junior college students and graduate students of colleges and universities are not allowed to study abroad.

Graduates of colleges and universities must also obey the unified distribution of the state, and after two years of work, they can only study abroad at their own expense after being approved by foreign contacts.

So despite the regulations, it officially opens the door to studying abroad.

However, many people still can't help but lament that there are many constraints and complain that the policy is a bit unkind.

However, it turns out that the country's fears are not unfounded.

Because in just a few years after the promulgation of the regulations, the number of people who went abroad at our own expense surged from 1,000 to 100,000.

Almost all of these people who are eager to go abroad are the elite of our country.

But when they succeed in their studies, only a few choose to return to their home countries to serve.

If the regulations do not contain and restrict them, the loss of college students that our country has spent a lot of money on will be even more serious.

But this is nothing, the real crisis is that the blind worship of the capitalist state in our society as a whole has also begun to become popular.

Nowadays, it is not "every ocean must be defeated", but "every ocean must be good".

But this cannot be summed up in just the four words "admiring foreign countries".

Because we have been in a state of "class stance should be clear for a long time", our people have developed a "clear distinction between love and hate", and they have turned their faces like turning a book.

It's really evil when it's evil, it's good when it's good.

Yesterday they regarded the US imperialists and the Japanese invaders as enemies, but today they regard each other as friends that they can fully trust and rely on.

This matter can be seen from the contact between Chen Liquan, the "little daughter-in-law" and Angelo.

As soon as this kid goes out now, he will no longer meet the eyes with political vigilance, and all he feels is meticulous care.

You can see smiling faces everywhere, and young people who are learning English often come forward to greet them.

He doesn't have to wait in line to go to the park or buy groceries. To take a taxi, drivers are scrambling.

Even when I took a bus, someone volunteered to give up my seat. It's the treatment of a super-citizen.

Even he didn't understand why this white skin made him so popular.

If you want to say that those "scalpers" who exchange foreign exchange coupons are still in love, but what are the park, shop and bus conductors?

So in the long run, complacency is inevitable.

If it weren't for Hong Yanwu's instructions, don't give the girl face, you have to make the girl afraid.

Chen Liquan and the "little daughter-in-law" don't treat him as a dish.

Otherwise, this guy's tail can really go up to the sky.

Also in this month, the film "Sunset Street", which shows the ordinary life of the people in Beijing in the current era, was officially launched and finally entered the filming cycle.

The screenwriter of this movie once said such a passage, which can probably reflect the creative motivation of this movie.

"In the past few years, I have thought, who are the backbone of our time, and who should be active on the stage and screen? They have no aperture on their heads, no horns and scepters in their hands, and no Hot Wheels under their feet. They have wounds all over their bodies, and they have pain in their hearts. They often have loud grumblings and low sighs in their mouths, and they carry the burden of rebellion and evil. However, they have a bright and holy flame in their hearts, they are gritting their teeth and working hard, they are creating our happiness, they are opening our paths, they are the masters of life. If you want to write, you will write about them, and if you want to sing praises, you will sing praises to them. ”

And I have to say that it is precisely because of the new dynamics in Hong Yanwu's thinking that he now also sprouts similar emotions.

Even because he can see the future, to a certain extent, he loves and cherishes this capital more than the screenwriter, which is constantly changing like modern day by day.

So he took the initiative to increase the scope of cooperation in this film through "Red Leaves".

On the basis of the original sponsorship, Hong Yanwu not only personally funded Master Pang to contract the delivery of meals for the crew's filming cycle.

In addition, because it was a hot summer, he also took the "Red Leaves" to match the crew and reached an agreement with "Polar Bear", so that the factory promised to sponsor the crew with 50 boxes of cold soda for free.

And out of personal preference, and the new condition proposed on behalf of the "polar bear", he hopes to add the street scene of the Furuli Guanyin Temple and the style of the "polar bear" soda stall to the movie.

At the same time, he also asked the script to change a few lines, wanting to praise the "Yanmei Building" of the Hong family by the way.

Don't be too obvious, just click on it, this is mainly to pave the way for the reopening of the old shop in the future.

This can be regarded as a trick to learn from the Japanese, and before the thing is sold, it will be advertised first.

And for these conditions for him, the director basically agreed to them after comprehensive consideration.

Because although the director is a very serious person, he is even a little competitive. But he doesn't have any utilitarian intentions such as awards, fame, and advertising expenses.

It is simply to take pictures of life, without whitewashing, without fiction. It is good to shoot the unique beauty of the life in the hutongs of the capital and the human state between the neighbors.

As long as it does not conflict with this concept, as long as it is beneficial to the film, everything is negotiable and acceptable.

Let's take the shooting location, for example.

In order to find the ideal yard in his mind, from the beginning of the establishment of the group, the director mobilized the crew to start a painstaking screening. An alley, an alley, ride a bike to find one by one.

In the end, the three courtyard houses located in Xinjiekou, Beach, and Dingfu Street were designated as the main filming locations of the movie.

Since it was originally a patchwork, it was not difficult to temporarily add a street scene of the capital with unique architecture.

Like the character in the play, Zheng Wanquan, a retired old worker, added an exterior scene to the process of running the neighborhood committee to apply for a license.

The old man pedaled his bicycle through the street crossing building of Guanyin Temple from a distance, and fulfilled this request.

And the footage of selling soda is also easy to do.

Because of the second half of the plot, the young people on Xizhao Street set up a service department.

Then naturally, you can also operate the "Polar Bear" soda, and put the stall at the entrance of the service department.

As for the changes to the lines, it is equally simple.

According to the plot, Zheng Wanquan praised his craftsmanship in order to invite the old grandson out of the mountain, and he had a few words.

After the change, Zheng Wanquan's words roughly mean, "The old tofu of your old grandson, that fame is about to catch up with the famous dish of "Tofu Box" in "Yanmei Building". But the "tofu box" used to be eaten by rich people, don't we poor buddies have to have the old tofu of your old grandson to enjoy it? Are you embarrassed that everyone can't eat it?"

So it didn't take much effort for these details to be unified.

In addition, there are two unintentional willow insertions, which bring surprises that are beyond the expectations of both parties.

The first is the image of several unemployed young people in the play, and the director is actually not very satisfied with the actors he picked.

As for "Momiji", I called the little brother "Naughty" from the past to try it.

Unexpectedly, "Naughty Child" beckoned "Shunzi" again, and as a result, the two of them passed all the auditions with their real life feelings.

In the end, "Shunzi" played the role of a "clever child" with fewer scenes.

"Naughty child" relied on his big temper and big voice, and got the role of "big head", and "intercepted" the "Hu'er" of the original actor Yuan Yuan.

Okay, the two boys have the opportunity to appear on the movie screen, and they inadvertently became the first batch of non-professional actors in domestic films.

The two of them were also very happy, and as soon as they were excited, they followed Hong Yanwu and took the initiative to pack the crew's cigarettes.

Well-known actors send "jade", and ordinary staff smoke "grade C cigarettes" that they need to reduce their prices.

As for Hong Yanwu, in the first few days, because he heard that Gu Yi had been transferred to the "Haiphong Song and Dance Troupe".

So in order to calm people's hearts for Moody, and also for Yang Weifan to show his face again.

He deliberately gave Yang Weifan a song "Qianmen Love Thoughts Big Bowl of Tea", and asked him to get it out and give it to Gu Yi to sing.

So now it's good, seeing that this is an opportunity, Hong Yanwu took advantage of the situation and recommended this song to the director to make the theme song of the movie.

As a result, he hummed two sentences, and the melodious tune and simple lyrics moved the director.

After that, he matched, and the director soon got in touch with the "Haiphong Song and Dance Troupe" and settled down.

made Gu Yi not only excited about this song that was originally sung by her.

I am also even more grateful to Moody's as the head of the regiment and Yang Weifan as the "lyricist and composer".

In short, in the history created by Hong Yanwu, "Sunset Street" has become the first cooperation between private capital and domestic films.

Although unknown, all parties are quite satisfied. Also quite successful.

To be honest, not only has the artistic level improved, but the life of the crew has also been much better.

Come to think of it, the well-known actors in these years are not much rich.

Eat well and drink well, and free cigarettes, so what else can you choose?

As a result, the work achievements of "Red Leaves" have been fully affirmed, Hong Yanwu, Chen Liquan, "Naughty Child" and "Shunzi" are also familiar with a group of famous actors, and they all took group photos.

Interestingly, in this film, Chen Peisi, who appeared for the first time under the name of "Second Son", and later became popular all over the country because of the sketch of "Eating Noodles".

Unexpectedly, one day because the crew ate lo mein at night, he made a big joke in public.

And it happened to be bumped into by Hong Yanwu, who came to visit the class to see the excitement.

What's going on?

One of the people sent by Master Pang at that time was from Jinmen, and he was responsible for pouring noodles on the actors.

There are two kinds of noodles, one is tomato and the other is mushroom daylily.

And Chen Peisi came late that day, and everyone else ate when he came.

As a result, as soon as he came, he heard the master ask him, "What's your name?"

As soon as Chen Peisi handed over the basin, he said, "Chen Peisi." ”

didn't expect the master to not fight, and asked again, and the tone was raised. "What's your name? I ask you what's your name?"

Chen Peisi had no choice but to say again, "I, my name is Chen Peisi...... That's my dad over there, you don't know me, you should know him. ”

Okay, it was Hong Yanwu next to him who understood first, and hurriedly came over and pointed to the two basins under the master's hand to explain to Chen Peisi. "Hey, it's full of twists, people are asking you what kind of brine you pour?"

The second group has been opened, group number: 608640021
