January 30, 1994 was Sunday, and it was also the day when the opening ceremony of Good Dream Company was held.

The reason why I didn't pay much attention to this day and didn't check the yellow calendar was because everyone was in the capital at this time, and it was easy to meet.

Lin Zixuan and Mu Shanshan got up very early, ate and drove to pick up Lin Xiaoling.

Lin Xiaoling was purely to join in the fun and run errands to help, and she also brought in Jia Zhangke.

Although Haomeng is a small company, it has also invited a lot of insiders, and sooner or later they will have to enter this circle.

"When will Xiao Jia go home for the New Year?" Lin Zixuan greeted in the car.

"I'll take the exam next week, and I'll go back after the exam. Jia Zhangke responded.

Jia Zhangke's 70-year-old man is two years younger than Lin Zixuan, and he looks at Lao Cheng, giving people a sense of calmness.

"Have you done your documentary?" Lin Zixuan inquired.

"It's done, it's much better than the one we made before, and there's the opening and soundtrack with my name on it. Lin Xiaoling said excitedly, "Professor Zheng said that he would send it to the Cannes Film Festival, which is an international film festival." ”

"What, you're going to make a name for yourself in the international film industry?" Lin Zixuan teased.

"That's not really, but in the past, the films of those big directors participated in international film festivals, this is a student work, and we are the new generation of Chinese films. Lin Xiaoling said proudly.

"Xiaoling is out of breath, do you want to come to my show and talk about her directing experience. Mu Shanshan said with a smile.

"Let's talk about it in a few years, when I make my first film. Lin Xiaoling said confidently.

"Don't say this in front of Brother Jiang, the first movie was made like this, and his current love is very low, don't stimulate him. Lin Zixuan admonished.

The location of the Good Dream Company was a bit off, it was already past nine o'clock when they arrived, Feng Xiaogang and Ge You were chatting, and after a while, Zhang Guoli and Zhao Baogang also came over.

Speaking of which, they are all from the Beijing Television Art Center, which is Lin Zixuan's base.

As a small film and television company, the opening ceremony was not complicated, they came to prepare in advance, and when people came, they took them around to visit, and went to the Friendship Hotel for a meal at noon.

The main thing is to be festive, not ready to make a big show.

If it was two months ago, firecrackers could still be set off, but this year the capital issued a document that banned fireworks and firecrackers in the urban area of Beijing from December 1, 1993.

In the past, it was only a restriction, but now it is explicitly prohibited.

After ten o'clock, many people came one after another, Jiang Wen and Liu Xiaoqing, Chen Xiaoyi, Xu Fan and Jiang Shan, as well as Liang Tian, Wang Zhiwen and Chen Daoming.

These people have a good relationship with several leaders of Haomeng Company, and everyone has this friendship.

Generally speaking, people who have a deep friendship will come early, and when they are half hosts, they will help greet guests.

Those who have shallow friendships, or those with high seniority, will come over with a little stuck, go through the motions, say a few words on the scene and leave, people just mean to show their meaning, sell face, and don't covet your meal.

That's what it is.

Wang Zhongjun came very early, less than eleven o'clock, he was quite surprised by Lin Zixuan's invitation, but this is a good thing, many friends and many roads, it is good to know more people in the entertainment industry.

The opening ceremony was held at 12 noon, and he pondered for a while, he went too early to have no friendship, and too late to look rusty.

Then after eleven o'clock, if you have a speculative conversation with the people of the Good Dream Company, you can stay, try to fit into that circle, and if you don't feel good, you will leave with the others after 12 o'clock.

Lin Zixuan invited Wang Zhongjun to attend the company's opening ceremony without any thoughts, and did it when he thought of it, which was very simple.

"Mr. Wang, how is the business?" Lin Zixuan said.

"At the beginning, it didn't get better, and the small business, unlike Mr. Lin's film and television business, was prone to millions of dollars. Wang Zhongjun said modestly.

"I've just opened here, and I haven't made any money yet, so I'm spending money on it. Lin Zixuan said casually, "Come, I'll introduce a few friends to Mr. Wang, they are all good buddies in the circle." ”

Wang Zhongjun was born in the capital, a disciple of a big courtyard, and his eloquence is good, and he can quickly get into a relationship when chatting.

After eleven o'clock, the number of people who came increased.

Lin Zixuan and Ge You stood at the door of the courtyard, chatting and waiting, he and Wang Zhiwen had met a few times, and they were not very familiar with Chen Daoming, but they were all people in the same circle.

Wang Zhiwen and Zhao Baogang have a good relationship, and Chen Daoming and Feng Xiaogang are familiar with each other.

The circle is like this, a friend of a friend is a friend, and if you have a lot of contacts, you will be familiar with it.

Most of the people they invited were people in the circle, and there were also official figures, and when they met men, they brought them in by themselves, and when they met women, they beckoned Mu Shanshan and Chen Xiaoyi to accompany them.

At this time, the old man of the Ge You family came over with several old-timers in the entertainment industry.

This is obviously to support Ge You's scene, Ge You hurriedly invited people in and served him well, don't freeze in this cold day.

A person came to the General Bureau, and Lin Zixuan accompanied him around the company, visited and guided, and then left.

This is what Wu Zhenhui, the deputy director of the General Administration of Film and Television, means, Lin Zixuan invited Wu Zhenhui, but Wu Zhenhui can't come in person, and sending someone over is considered to be a face.

The people from the Kongzheng Television Art Center also came, and they were cooperating with the Good Dream Company, so it was normal for them to come and cheer.

However, in the eyes of outsiders, this is the embodiment of the company's strength, which can make the General Administration and military units come to cheer, and ordinary film and television companies do not have this ability.

At twelve o'clock, there were forty or fifty people in the courtyard, and the opening ceremony officially began.

Lin Zixuan said a few words simply, and then the sound of firecrackers sounded.

Although firecrackers are not allowed, they are engaged in film and television, and they casually edit a clip of firecrackers in film and television dramas, and play it on a video recorder, just like the real thing.

Everyone was still wondering at first, but after knowing the truth, they were all happy.

Lin Zixuan did this for fun, at this time, the people of Beijing still have opinions on not letting firecrackers during the New Year, after all, it is a custom, if you can't hear the sound of firecrackers, you feel that the taste of the New Year is light.

At the end of the opening ceremony, those who were willing to eat in the restaurant went to eat, and those who wanted to leave could leave, but half of the people ran away.

At the end of the year, there were many dinners in the capital, and everyone was busy, and those who stayed were on a particularly good relationship with Lin Zixuan.

When the group came to the Friendship Hotel, the ordered meals could not be returned, and they did not waste food.

The remaining 20 or so people set up two tables, one table for men and the other for women, and everyone was very happy talking and laughing.

"Let's take a photo, it's a commemorative opening ceremony. "It's almost time to eat, and Liu Xiaoqing, who likes to be lively, said.

This mention was recognized, and when I went out to ask, there were cameras in the Friendship Hotel, and everyone here were film and television workers, and there was no shortage of cameras at home, but it was too troublesome to go back and get them.

They discussed it and decided to divide it into two rows, the men in the back and the women in the front.

Lin Zixuan, as the chairman of the company, stood in the middle of the back row.

On his left were Ge You and Jiang Wen, on his right were Feng Xiaogang and Zhao Baogang, as well as Zhang Guoli, Wang Zhiwen and Chen Daoming, and Wang Zhongjun and Jia Zhangke stood on the very edge.

In the front row are Mu Shanshan, Liu Xiaoqing and others, and Lin Xiaoling is half-squatting in the front.

It was the manager of the Friendship Hotel who took the photo, and as the flash turned on, the faces of these people remained on the film. (To be continued.) )
