The habit of Chinese people is that they are not willing to do much before the Chinese New Year.

However, at the end of November, there was one person who happened to be busy.

Her name is Yang Jie, and she was a female announcer on Qindao back then, and when our army released Qindao, her voice was the first to appear on the radio.

In the 50s, Yang Jie entered Huaxia TV to work, and in the past two years, she began her own TV drama director and production work.

Recently, Yang Jie has been busy with the preparation of the TV series "Journey to the West", one of my country's four famous novels.

Speaking of which, the main reason why Huaxia TV wants to film "Journey to the West" happens to be the broadcast of the Japanese "Journey to the West" series in 1978.

The thunderous Japanese version of "Journey to the West" is simply the existence of destroying the three views, but it has also spread to Huaguo and is being played in a small area.

When many old artists saw the Japanese version of "Journey to the West", they were all angry at them, completely trampling on such a good literary work, so they also wrote letters to the cultural department, and even wrote letters to Xiao Lao, Yun Lao and others at the top, hoping that we could make our own "Journey to the West" by ourselves, so that all foreigners could see what the real four masterpieces should look like.

Of course, the above old people agreed, so they approved the note to the cultural department, and then the Ministry of Culture took the opportunity to give instructions, and the task fell on the head of Huaxia TV Station.

Seeing this instruction, Huaxia TV's head was big.

Huaxia TV is not the central mother of the future, it does not have the momentum of swallowing like a tiger, it is not so rich that it is oily, but it is the kind that is so poor that it can't be revealed.

To make a "Journey to the West", you have to have all kinds of special effects production, a crew of hundreds of people to eat, drink, and Lazar, as well as various framing...... Where does such a large amount of money come from?

Now that everyone has no money, it is probably no problem to squeeze out hundreds of thousands or one million, but you are clearly a huge amount of money of two or three million, how is it possible?

So even though there were instructions the year before last, Huaxia TV has not taken any action.

Yang Jie, who had just been a director for a short time, saw this opportunity and felt that she could give it a try.

Although Yang Jie is a woman, she is an old qualification of Huaxia TV, and she has a lot of contacts, she is very busy doing things, and immediately found her good friend, Ruan Tinglin, deputy director of Huaxia TV and director of the TV drama production center.

Ruan Tinglin also felt a little troublesome, and she didn't agree several times, but she couldn't stand Yang Jie's soft grinding and hard bubbles, and there were instructions on it for a long time, so she had the courage to propose this production plan at the office meeting.

When a group of people are in a meeting, if a lesbian at the meeting insists on something, it is really difficult for everyone to argue with her.

But Huaxia TV really didn't have any money, and finally gave Yang Jie a budget of 2 million, asking her to finish filming all the episodes, but don't think about any support from the station.

Yang Jie didn't care so much, she cheated the money first, let the crew start operating, and then agreed.

Of course, this money will definitely not be allocated in full, but will be given to the crew in batches, and Yang Jie said that she took a huge amount of 100,000 yuan as start-up capital.

Yang Jie has been running this thing since last year.

She is not only looking for the leaders above, but also paying attention to those who can play the role of "Journey to the West".

Obviously, as a monkey opera family, Liu Xiaoling Tong entered Yang Jie's field of vision, and after watching a few monkey shows of Liu Xiaoling Tong, and discussed with his father Liu Ling Tong, it was roughly decided that he would play one of the most important roles - Monkey King!

In addition to Sun Wukong, Yang Jie also successively found other Tang Seng, Zhu Bajie, Sha Monk, and Bailongma...... And so on.

Some actors have already been decided, while others are not yet suitable.

But Yang Jie is not panicked, I have all the money in my hands, and the documents have been released in the station, are you still afraid of pornography?

This is also the norm for local TV dramas in China now.

A TV series is filmed for one or two years, and it is the same as playing, and it is not uncommon to shoot for three or five years.

Even if Yang Jie has been preparing for more than a year, it is a very common thing.

Today, Yang Jie went to the Forbidden Palace Museum in Huajing, and she wanted to find out if there were any costumes suitable for the crew, and then ask the masters here for their opinions on costumes.

In "Journey to the West", there are too many exquisite costumes.

You look at Wu Chengen's description of Sun Dasheng after he got the golden hoop stick, this "a pair of lotus silk steps, a pair of chain gold armor, and a phoenix winged purple gold crown" are all draped on the body, how chic and dazzling is it?

If you use ordinary clothes, wouldn't it weaken the name of Monkey King?

Therefore, Yang Jie needs to find a professional to understand and chat, so that she can have a number in her heart.

So where are the most professionals who make ancient costumes?

In the past, it may not be easy to find, but now everyone knows that in the cultural relics restoration factory of the Huajing Palace Museum, there is a weaving and embroidery group, which gathers many skilled craftsmen from all over the country, absolutely professional.

Yang Jie made an appointment, and when she arrived at the Palace Cultural Relics Restoration Factory, Fang Yunshan, the leader of the weaving and embroidery group, received her.

Fang Yunshan is about forty years old, and it is said that she is a needlework master in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and when the cultural relics restoration factory set up a weaving and embroidery group, she was specially invited.

Not only her, but also three weaving and embroidery masters from all over the world, were also invited, although the cost is a lot, but with them, the weaving and embroidery group will not be unworthy of the name.

Then they didn't come alone, each of them brought one or two, or three or five apprentices, and the cultural relics restoration factory was also responsible for their treatment and various benefits.

Thanks to Yin Jun's sufficient money, the well-funded cultural relics restoration factory was able to recruit these talents so generously.

"Sister Yang, after receiving the call a few days ago, I went back to discuss it with everyone. While taking Yang Jie to the weaving and embroidery group, Fang Yunshan said softly: "If you want to do it simply, it shouldn't be too difficult, after all, many theaters have "Journey to the West" related plays. But if you want to restore all the costumes described in "Journey to the West", then the project is huge, and all of us together will not be enough time for a year. ”

"Hehe, we don't pay so much attention to it, as long as the main characters can do well, and those of other actors don't matter. Yang Jie also said directly.

She is not realistic and can't do it, a total of only 2 million, how can she take it all on the clothes?

"How many main characters are there?" Fang Yunshan asked.

"Except for the Tang monks and apprentices, they should be in accordance with the ...... It is calculated according to about 3 per episode. Yang Jie counted slightly, "About 100 people!"

"Isn't this a trouble?" Fang Yunshan shook his head and smiled, pushing away his office, "Come, Sister Yang, let's sit and talk." ”

"Okay!"

Yang Jie was not polite, sat on the chair and asked, "I know this is a bit difficult, but I hope to do better, you can see where I can save some money on materials, or I can pick out some money in other aspects......"

"I'm afraid that's not what you can do with this money. Fang Yunshan already knew Yang Jie's budget, "You see if this will work, we will do four Tang monks and apprentices, and the rest will try to find costumes for the troupe, so that there will be no problem, I estimate that it will cost 3 or 50,000 yuan for production and rental, and it will be enough." ”

"But ......"

Yang Jie wanted to speak and stopped, and finally sighed, "Is there really no other way?"

"No more. Fang Yunshan said: "Unless you can find a big boss to donate like our cultural relics restoration factory!"

"Where can I have such luck as you?" Yang Jie laughed self-deprecatingly, "You are the face of the whole country here, of course Mr. Yin Jun...... Well?...... Mr. Yin Jun......"

She suddenly remembered that when she went to the Jiangnan Kunqu Opera Theater, she had heard that the Kunqu Opera Company went to Xiangjiang twice to perform, and each time Yin Jun helped arrange it, and the six Xiaoling children were also very appreciated by Yin Jun!

Wait a minute!

It's not just Jiangnan Kunqu Theater!

This Wei Xiaofan is a teacher in Huaju and Jingying!

I have acquaintances in these two schools!

If you can find Wei Xiaofan and say what moved him, plus Liu Xiaoling Tong went to intercede and ask him to make a little contribution to the motherland's TV drama career, it shouldn't be a difficult thing, right!?

Yang Jie knows that Yin Jun is definitely a super-rich man, and it is said that he is worth more than billions of Hong Kong dollars!

If he can come up with two or three million to sponsor the crew of "Journey to the West", it will definitely be a blessing for the entire crew!

Thinking of this, Yang Jieyi stood up, turned around and ran outside, even when Fang Yunshan called her, she didn't stop.

Out of the gate of the palace, Yang Jie got on her bicycle and rushed back to her office on Huaxia TV.

Then she dialed a phone number and went out, and after some tossing and turning, she finally contacted the person she was looking for: "Hey...... I'm Director Yang Jie of Huaxia TV...... Well, let me ask you something, are you familiar with Mr. Yin Jun of the Kirin Group in Xiangjiang?...... Oh...... Oh......"

After a moment, Yang Jie put down the phone.

Liu Xiaoling Tong is a young man with no scheming, and as soon as Yang Jie asked, he told all the origins of the Jiangnan Kunqu Opera Troupe and Yin Jun.

also made Yang Jie understand that although the Jiangnan Kunqu Opera Troupe got acquainted with Yin Jun because of Wei Xiaofan's wife, Yin Jun still had two little girls who liked her very much, and she loved them like sisters.

Yang Jie also told Liu Xiaoling Tong that she wanted to find Yin Jun's sponsorship, and Liu Xiaoling Tong told her clearly, she didn't need to look for Mr. Wei, as long as you let He Qin and Tao Huimin, the two girls, mention it to Mr. Yin Jun, and guarantee that he would agree.

But how do you get the two of them to help?

You can't just say that we want money to make a good movie, so can you please help?

This is not a small amount, it will cost millions, and they are afraid that it is not easy for them to speak, and they will have concerns in their hearts.

And they can't be forced to do this, otherwise it may backfire.

Yang Jie thought about it for a long time and didn't come up with an idea.

It wasn't until she returned home that she was a little absent-minded during the meal, and when her husband asked about her, she frowned and told her about it.

Yang Jie's husband Wang Congqiu is the photographer of Huaxia TV and the only designated photographer of Yang Jie's "Journey to the West" crew.

After hearing this, he smiled, "This is simple, don't these little girls all want to be stars? Our "Journey to the West" will definitely make the audience like it! You just go to Jiangnan, select them, and let them enter the crew of "Journey to the West", can't you take advantage of the situation to get involved with Mr. Yin Jun, and then ask for sponsorship?"

As Wang Congqiu said this, Yang Jie's eyes lit up suddenly.

"Yes!Yes! That's it!!"

She slammed the table and said happily, "I'll go find them tomorrow!"
