As the capital's economy has grown by leaps and bounds, high-end dining establishments have sprung up, compared to Moscow restaurants built in the 50s next to the zoo, which have long since fallen from their top tiers.

But many locals in the capital, especially those who grew up in the big courtyard in the red era, still like to come to 'Lao Mo' to get together when they have nothing to do.

This is one of the few restaurants in the capital where you can eat milk and drink bread, have beer and steak Western food, carrying the collective youth memories of that generation.

Feng Gang is not a disciple of the big courtyard, his parents are ordinary workers, and the only thing that can get involved with the so-called 'disciples of the big courtyard' is probably that many of the disciples of the courtyard will choose to be soldiers, and Feng Gang has also been a soldier.

Still, he likes to talk to people here.

It's not just because the people who brought him together are all big courtyard disciples, and they all like to come to Lao Mo to eat.

Every time he comes here to eat, Feng Gang always finds a beautiful illusion that he is the same person as them.

But he knew very well that this was an illusion, at least for now.

After returning from the army, he plunged into the literary circle, and has been doing chores in various crews, lighting, scenery, field affairs, and art.

After working for a few years before and after the saddle, this time he finally waited for a chance: the Beiyi Center is ready to imitate the American TV series "Growing Pains" and shoot a 26-episode sitcom, the story of the editorial department, led by Wang Shuo, the screenwriting team;

He has known Wang Shuo for a few years, from the first day of meeting, he praised Wang Shuo as the Big Dipper who has nothing in the sky and no earth, and walks in the world, people's hearts are flesh and blood, Wang Shuo has a straight temperament, although he usually mocks him at every turn, but after a long time, he also treats him as a friend, this time he takes special care of him, and the screenwriting work of seven episodes from 26 episodes is handed over to him to do.

can come up with this seventh-level script and pass the review with Wang Shuo, and he can add his Feng Gang's name to the screenwriter.

In a TV series, the producer and investor are the top level, and the director, screenwriter, planner, and producer are the core; in contrast, actors, even big-name actors, are just working;

As for those lighting art field work, to put it nicely, they are called staff, to put it bluntly, they are miscellaneous.

For Feng Gang, this is an opportunity to completely change his status in the industry and even his destiny in life, and he attaches great importance to it.

No matter how good a person's brain is, his strength is limited after all, and the crew is short of time, so he writes it himself and asks someone to help him, and this person is Peng Yuanqing.

Of the seven stories, Feng Gang received four by himself, and the remaining three were in charge of Peng Yuanqing, but he didn't think that it would be less than a week, so Peng Yuanqing contacted him and said that it was written and that he would meet at Lao Mo's restaurant.

"Teacher Peng!

Although it is a year-old friend, although Peng Yuanqing can only be regarded as playing tickets, half a foot in the circle of idle clouds and wild cranes, but Feng Gang's attitude towards Peng Yuanqing can still be described as respectful.

When he saw Peng Yuanqing appear at the door of the restaurant, he hurriedly strode over, and then fell half a position behind and led Peng Yuanqing to his seat.

A pair of small eyes, but they kept staring at the manuscript in Peng Yuanqing's hand.

"Take a look, I'll have something to do later. Peng Yuanqing sat down, grabbed the water cup on the table and poured a few sips.

With a simple move and dress, you can see the difference between Peng Yuanqing and Feng Gang: Peng Yuanqing came to Lao Mo, wearing big shorts and a pullover very casually, leaning on the chair in the most comfortable posture, while Feng Gang was dressed very formally, with trousers, leather shoes and white shirt, and sat up straight.

Feng Gang hurriedly read the manuscript.

The three stories are not long, and I finished reading them in a while.

The first one is the 'Idea King'.

At this time, a person known as the "King of Ideas" came and said that there was a unique idea: to blow up a 50-kilometer-wide hole in the Himalayas, the warm wind of the Indian Ocean can be brought to China, and the beautiful Qinghai-Tibet Plateau will take off its hat from now on, and a large number of fish and rice will have to be conjured into the land of fish and rice!

A few people in the editorial department thought it was very nonsense after hearing it at first glance, but after thinking about it, it seemed to make sense, so while stabilizing the idea, they went to the scientists to argue.

This idea king is very big, he demands the ultimate enjoyment in life, puts forward all kinds of excessive requirements, and the editorial department has limited funds, in order to stabilize him, he can only cut down on food and drink, and even use beauty to entertain, making a series of jokes.

In the end, it turned out that his idea could not be realized at all, and it turned out that this idea king was a delusional patient who ran out of a mental hospital.

The second is 'going abroad fever'.

The editorial department received a letter from a reader, a university teacher sold his house and blood in order to send his lover abroad, secretly substituted outside day and night, who knew that he was discovered by the school, lost his public position overnight, his wife also ran away with the foreigner, and the university teacher thought of suicide.

Ge Ling and Li Dongbao, young editors of the editorial department, hurriedly found this teacher, sent love, persuaded and reasoned, and finally dispelled the other party's idea of suicide.

Who knew that in the end, the university teacher fell in love with the female editor Ge Ling, and Ge Ling also fell in love with him, and the two got along!

Li Dongbao, who has always admired Ge Ling, suddenly became stupid, leaned on the sofa with a loveless face, and said blankly, "It seems that I have to commit suicide too."

The third is the re-education through labor prisoners.

Ge Ling and the university teacher get better every month, how do you know that the university teacher has a new opportunity, and go abroad without hesitation, Ge Ling is single again, depressed, wandering around Houhai Park in the middle of the night, falling into the water, and being rescued by a young man who is brave and brave.

Later, I learned that this young man had just been released from prison, couldn't find a job, and was distressed, and was also wandering around the park to relieve his depression.

The enthusiastic Ge Ling took the initiative to mobilize the comrades of the editorial department to help young people find jobs.

Li Dongbao has the 'lesson' of the last university teacher, and he has been secretly obstructing Ge Ling's contact with young people, making a series of jokes.

Eventually, the young man found a good job and invited everyone to his wedding.

It turned out that he already had a lover, and everyone was happy.

"Is it successful?" asked Peng Yuanqing.

"It's so done!"

Feng Gang seriously put the manuscript on the table, with a face of seven points true and three points false admiration, and said in an excited tone: "These stories have distinctive characteristics of the times, and there are fierce contradictions and conflicts, and they are also very positive! Mr. Peng, your level is too high!"

"Well, don't hold me off, I didn't write it, a friend's handwriting. Peng Yuanqing said: "You hurry up and send it to the crew, if you pass it, call me back immediately, I have to go to Binhai to help others." ”

"The crew specifies that it can pass, Mr. Wang, I still understand, these books can't pass, then there is no book to pass. But ......"

Feng Gang heard that the script was not written by Peng Yuanqing, so he was a little uneasy, and asked in a low voice: "Teacher Peng, what ......?"

"Don't worry, I told them, and they agreed to sign your name. Do you know who this guy is who wrote the script?"

"I don't know, what's wrong?"

Peng Yuan counted the first story of the script and said: "The idea king reported by the Youth Daily some time ago is this master. ”

"Oh, I've heard of it, I've heard it, it's pretty godly. Feng Gang suddenly realized, no wonder he was able to write these stories, and he was so down-to-earth, the king of ideas, and the prisoner of labor reform, isn't this based on people's own real experiences.

Peng Yuanqing smiled: "I understand, it's not a hassle for people to make money, and the money will fly into their pockets when they move their mouths, and I haven't thought about being a screenwriter, so I won't care about these things with you." ”

Peng Yuanqing is well-known in the circle, has a good reputation, speaks reliably, and has his guarantee, Feng just now was completely relieved, and said with a smile: "Then I will go to Mr. Wang immediately." Teacher Peng, by the way, is your friend still there? Wait, I'll invite him to dinner and thank you!"
