Chapter 81: The Capital

The train at 18:35 on the 16th was originally scheduled to arrive at around 23 o'clock on the 18th, but anyone who has taken the train knows that it is not late without a train. Therefore, when Zhang Shaoping and his party walked out of the train station, it was 6:25 in the morning on the 19th.

The bus stop is not far from the train station. In those days, buses were the only means of public transportation for the people of Beijing.

"You guys are not familiar with life, so why don't you go with us?"

Out of the train station, Liu Xiaolingtong invited Zhang Shaoping and his party to go with their team, but Zhang Shaoping declined, which made Liu Xiaolingtong's eyes widen and asked in disbelief.

"Alright, buddy, look, someone's coming to pick me up!" Zhang Shaoping patted the shoulder of the six-year-old child, pouted at the two vans on the side of the street, and said with a smile.

Zhang Shaoping recognized that the few people standing next to the two vans were the employees he had assigned to the front station in the capital. However, Yang Jie saw that the two cars were hung with the signs of the political axe department, as if they were attracting investment.

"Okay, Xiao Zhang, let's leave it at that, and when you find a place to stay, tell me, and then I and the six young children will come to visit again." After Yang Jie saw this, she took over the words and said a word clearly, nodded to Zhang Shaoping, and walked to the bus stop with the crew.

Looking at the distant figures of Yang Jie, Liu Xiaolingtong and others, Zhang Shaoping stood still for a long time.

Who would have thought that on a train trip, he would happen to get acquainted with the crew of "Journey to the West".

The short journey of getting along brought Zhang Shaoping a shock that touched his soul. In this time and space, it has not been a long time, but it has developed a heart of stone, and it is rare to be moved by certain things and people, but this time is an exception.

This is a group of film and television personnel in their purest form. is not famous, because they never thought that after "Journey to the West" was filmed, it would be very popular, so popular that it became world-famous with only one drama. Moreover, except for a few leading actors who have been rewarded for their hard work, others have worked hard but are unknown. is not for profit, because the salary of Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie and other leading actors is only 80 yuan per episode. A TV series spans several years, and the salary obtained after filming is not enough to cover the work income of ordinary people. They are only because foreign countries have TV series adapted from their own famous books. The country does not, they feel that they have a heavy responsibility on their shoulders, and they do everything just to shoot well. The purpose of the country's masterpiece is so simple.

For this generation, this is a time of hope and pioneering, and everything is worth it for the sake of dreams.

"Zhang Sheng, it's snowing outside, it's time to leave." Chen Feihu called.

"Let's go."

Zhang Shaoping walked briskly to the van, dusted off the snowflakes on his body, and got in.

......

......

North. The Beijing Second Service Bureau sent a cadre surnamed Ren to accompany Zhang Shaoping around, mainly to inspect several locations to be selected. And, of course, there's a glimpse of the North. Famous buildings in the capital.

Zhang Shaoping came to [***], [***] on Chang'an Avenue in front of [***], and a few motor vehicles dotted the wide road. At a glance, it looks a bit like the closed dynasty of later generations. Fresh Pyongyang Street.

At this time, there were very few motor vehicles in the capital, and even fewer private cars. In 1979, according to statistics, there were only 89,000 motor vehicles in the capital, and they would never exceed the 300,000 mark at this time.

In fact, this is not only a problem in the capital, but also in the whole country, there are more people and fewer cars. Because the control of automobile production is in the hands of the State Development Planning Commission, the annual output of automobiles is 220,000 units, while the output of cars is only 4,000 units, and the supply is seriously in short supply. In June last year, Chen Yuetao, general manager of China Automotive Corporation, and some people handed the report to the chief designer, and finally got the approval: "The car can be a joint venture." That's when the opening was made, and the number of imported vehicles skyrocketed.

However, even so, buses and official cars are still the main vehicles on the streets. Above. Haipai cars were the main models of official cars at that time, so most of the cars seen were on . Hai brand car. When it comes to buses, Zhang Shaoping is an eye-opener, all the Czech red shell Skoda, the style is old, and it is very collectible.

As the van drove slowly along Chang'an Avenue, Zhang Shaoping found that there were only a handful of buildings on either side, so that no matter how many vehicles there were, it would not be possible to be congested. One of the most impressive to him was the Liubukou intersection in the middle of West Chang'an Avenue, where countless bicycles lined up in a long queue that could not see the end of the end, and as soon as the green light turned on, the bicycles in front of him rushed over like a Tour de France. Dense, like a flash flood and water, giving people an unstoppable shocking vision, this visual impact makes Hong Kong people who are accustomed to seeing car horns in a trance, too amazing!

After walking for two days, Zhang Shaoping even went to the time-honored Quanjude time-honored brand featuring "roast duck", the Lu restaurant Zhimeizhai featuring "four fish", and the Yuebin restaurant in Cuihua Hutong. As the first individual restaurant in Beijing, Yuebin Restaurant has an amazing flow of customers, and the threshold has almost been broken. When Zhang Shaoping went, he lined up for a long time, ordered three dishes and one soup - pot roast duck, fish-flavored shredded pork, grilled cabbage and duck rack tofu soup, and then asked for three bottles of beer, which cost 4 yuan and 5 cents 2. Because beer is 3 cents and 9 cents a bottle, that is to say, three dishes and one soup are only 3 pieces and 4 cents.

Some people will say, can you make money with such a low consumption? The answer is yes. Because prices are lower, they will remain low until the second half of 1988.

After two days, Zhang Shaoping was quite satisfied with three places. The first is the south entrance of Wangfujing, where the Oriental Plaza is located in the future. The second is the area of Chongwenmen West Street, which is not far from Cuihua Hutong. The third is the intersection of Xidan Road.

Zhang Shaoping thought about it and finally finalized the first Quanjiale fast food restaurant in Beijing at the intersection of Xidan Road. Because of the Xidan intersection, the flow of people is greater than the flow of vehicles, and the first pedestrian bridge in Beijing - Xidan pedestrian overpass has just been completed. The large flow of people, the ease of walking, and the frequent visits of sports, the press and foreign friends are enough to make the FamilyMart fast food restaurant very popular.

Of course, Xidan Road is the first choice, and other places will automatically become the best location for the next batch of expansion. According to Zhang Shaoping's estimate, in less than half a year, the FamilyFun fast food restaurant will open one or three more branches in Beijing. In terms of time, the difference of half a year and a few months is not a problem at all, the key is to establish a brand and establish a reputation.

As soon as the contract was signed with Zhengaxe, the staff immediately found the construction team and offered them a high price to decorate, decorate and decorate.

During the period, on the 22nd, Yang Jie and Liuxiaolingtong jointly visited the door, and Zhang Shaoping mentioned the recruitment of art and art talents.

Yang Jie thought for a while and said, "The more outstanding talents are basically in the middle. Country, Bayi, Pearl River, West. An, long. Spring plant as well. In the six major film studios in the sea, the rest is on the central station, and if you want to invite people with strong technical experience and ability, it is estimated that you will not be able to invite them. ”

"Hehehe, people who are too famous, of course I can't be invited, but I don't need these elites, I just need their basic skills and excellent skills! For example, students from film academies or art academies can go south to Guangdong Province and work in Shenzhen if they are willing. ”

For the current so-called "famous masters", Zhang Shaoping does not attach great importance to them, it is good to have them, but it doesn't matter if they don't. Only the young students who have studied through the college system are what Zhang Shaoping values the most. The fifth generation of film and television talents.

1982, North. At the beginning of the graduation distribution of Beijing Film Academy, Tian Zhuangxun went to Beiying, Chen Kaige was assigned to the Children's Film Studio, Zhang Yimou, He Yu, Zhang Junzhao, and Xiao Feng went to Guangzhou. Western Film Studios. officially kicked off the fifth generation of film and television talents. These people are not yet prominent, but in a few years, they will be active in the film industry and lay their own glory days.

Yang Jie didn't think about it so far-reaching, and when she heard that Zhang Shaoping was only looking for some students who graduated, she smiled and said: "If you only recruit some students, then it's easy to say, when will I find a time, I will take you to the Central Academy of Drama, the Central Academy of Arts, and the North Academy. Beijing Film Academy goes around, and you can recruit people directly at that time. "I'm going to be there tomorrow. Take a trip to the sea, wait for me to come back, and then trouble Yang Dao you. ”

"You're going to get there. Sea? Above. Hai's drama academy is also quite famous, and the students there are more open-minded, and it is estimated that there will be more people who are willing to follow you to the southern Shenzhen market. Hearing that Zhang Shaoping was going to Shanghai, Yang Jie immediately mentioned, "I'll write you a letter of introduction, and then you can go to Mr. Li Tianling. The person in charge of the Sea Art Association, who is good at comic books, has a lot of friendship with people who play it. ”

"Comic strips?" Zhang Shaoping's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly said, "Director Yang, well, actually, that ...... As a comic book artist, I think it's also quite suitable for film and television art art. Otherwise, you can introduce me to some famous comic book artists, I don't need these famous artists to go south to Shenzhen, I just need them to hang up the name of a consultant in my company, and I will still pay them. They don't usually have to do anything, but when my company has a bottleneck in art design, they have to help me solve it. ”

Zhang Shaoping was still hesitant in the front, but the more he spoke later, the smoother he became, and he said the intention in his heart like a machine gun. Comic book talents, this is a serious painter, their ability in film and television is also obvious to all, such as the animation "Havoc in Heaven" in the 60s, which was drawn by these comic book masters.

Yang Jie laughed and smiled happily: "Then you should be even more up. Go to the sea, there are a lot of comic book talents over there, especially Mr. Li Tianling, who is full of peach and plums, and his apprentices and grandchildren alone are enough for you to recruit.

Waiting for you from above. When you come back from the sea, I'll take you to meet the famous comic book artists in the capital, but how many people you can recruit depends on your ability. To be honest, these people are not easy to invite, they are either famous, or high-minded, and even many people are pursuing the art of comic books, if you want them to give up, specializing in film and television art art, I'm afraid not very optimistic. ”

On the train to Shanghai, Yang Jie's words were still in his ears, which made Zhang Shaoping think deeply for a while, how can he impress this group of people?
