In the mid-80s, a group of people who acted for a living, rambling to find millions of dollars, was quite "fantastical".

In order to give the investor a more intuitive impression, director Yang Jie printed the makeup photos of the main actors and made a photo album.

However, at this time, the film was very expensive, and only one photo album could be made, and many negotiating units said that they would leave the photo album for meetings to study, and this research was not followed.

Tang Qin came up with a way to print a batch of leaflets, similar to small posters in later generations, leaving one for each house.

Director Yang and the crew did not give up, and turned to their relatives and friends to see if they could find a channel to attract sponsorship.

There was news almost every day, but in the end there was no news.

The future of the crew is at a loss, "Divide the luggage and disperse, I'll go back to my Gao Laozhuang, and you go back to your Huaguo Mountain and Liusha River......"

Seeing that the originally lively crew was scattered, Tang Qin, Li Chengru, and Qiu Peining were also speechless.

"You carry the burden, I lead the horse, usher in the sunrise and send away the sunset......" Walking to the street, Li Chengru opened his throat, and he didn't care about the various eyes of people coming and going.

"Spring, autumn, winter and summer, ups and downs...... Dare to ask where the money is, the money is under your feet......"

Qiu Peining's face was still tight, and she couldn't help laughing out loud, "Li Chengru, you can pick it up if you have money." ”

"I picked up a penny on the side of the road and handed it over to my police uncle...... Uncle took the money ......"

But it's not a penny at all, it's three million!

In this year, who has 3 million, 3,000, 30,000 is the sky.

"Let's go, the old lady has been thinking about you, you didn't go to the house for dinner during the Lantern Festival, so I am not a person inside and out, and I can get home for anything today, Pei Ning......"

has been in a crew for four years, and each other's roots have long been clear, a family like the Qiu family, a few days apart from the courtyard, Li Chengru just invited casually, but Qiu Peining agreed directly.

The alley of Li Chengru's house is next to the Forbidden City, and in his words, when he was a child, he flew a kite, and if he didn't say it well, he fell into the Forbidden City.

The old lady of the Li family liked Tang Qin and Qiu Peining very much, and asked the two of them to eat more, "Look at these two children, how thin they are, and they are so thin that they are distressing." ”

"He, two pig's trotters a day, he has this treatment," Li Chengru interrupted his mother, "However, the crew is disbanded, where do you find this treatment?" ”

"Cheng Ru, Cheng Ru...... Is Tang Qin here? In the courtyard, Yu Hong's voice suddenly sounded, "Hurry, hurry, hurry, the director asked Tang Qin to go back to Taiwan, and the crew's funds are eyebrow-topping." ”

Whew-

Tang Qin stood up with the pig's trotters in his hand.

……

"Xiao Tang, you go back to your hometown immediately, and work with Director Li to get the funds." Director Yang Jie swept the gloom on his face and paced around the office excitedly.

It turned out that Li Hongchang, deputy director of the crew, contacted Hui Jinlong, deputy political commissar of the 11th Engineering Bureau of the Ministry of Railways, through a friend's introduction, and he was very moved after hearing about this and was willing to report to the higher departments to strive for sponsorship.

"Why do you have to go?" Tang Qin was puzzled.

"Because you're ...... Star. Director Yang said with a smile, at first she was very resistant to this word, but now that she is good, she has to borrow Tang Qin's face.

Tang Seng played by Tang Qin, with a solemn treasure and fairy wind Buddha bones, has received rave reviews in the society and has a great response, and the leaders of the 11th Bureau of China Railway are very respectful, and they want to see Tang Qin by name.

Moreover, taking Tang Qin to Shanhai Yanzhou to discuss investment cooperation is obviously more effective than just bringing posters and unfinished films, and there is still some meaning of "relying on this as evidence".

"Okay, the train ticket has been bought, you can set off overnight, whether Journey to the West can go to the West and obtain the true scriptures, I will entrust it to the two of you." Before leaving, Director Yang shook hands with Li Hongchang and Tang Qin one by one, and there was nothing else to say.

……

The 11th Engineering Bureau of the Ministry of Railways, the bureau is located in Yanzhou County, Shanhai Province, two years ago, after the military reform, it was reorganized into the 11th Engineering Bureau of the Ministry of Railways.

Carrying a backpack full of video tapes, the two stepped on a train bound for Yanzhou. The content of the tape is the unplayed episodes of "Journey to the West", which have been basically synthesized.

"Why are you alone, Tang Seng?" At the train station, when I returned to Jinlong and saw Li Hongchang, my face was not good.

"I was holding back all the way on the train, so I was looking for a convenient place to go." Li Hongchang hurriedly said, this is fortunate to call Tang Qin, look at this meaning, without Tang Qin, people don't even pay attention to him.

"Xiao Tang, you really played Tang Seng alive, Tang Qin is Tang Seng, Tang Seng is Tang Qin." Luo Youzhi, director of the Eleventh Engineering Bureau, praised Tang Qin as soon as he saw him, "I heard that you are also from Shanhai?" Can you drink? ”

"Yes." Tang Qin replied happily, are there any people in the mountains and seas who can't drink?

"On the liquor." Luo Youzhi was very happy, "Hand in hand." ”

Li Hongchang was startled, there were thirteen people on the table, each with a bottle of "Shuanghe Old Wine", he looked at the degree, okay, fifty-six degrees, this drinking is not like drinking a knife.

"Luo Bureau, with the name of this wine, I toast the wine," Tang Qin didn't take the glass, and directly picked up the wine bottle, "Shuanghe gathers, this meaning is good, it represents the cooperation between China Television and the 11th Bureau, and they move forward together."

"Well said!" Luo Youzhi's face immediately blossomed, he also picked up the wine bottle, the amount of alcohol in the soldiers is very large, and this is in the big drinking province of Shanhai, if you can drink it, you have to be able to say, "This bottle, we did it." ”

Li Hongchang's face turned green on the spot.

This night, he went out and vomited seven times, and Tang Qin drank two bottles.

The two rushed back to Jinan the next day, and soon, the 11th Bureau sent people to Jinan for further negotiations, and everyone spent more than 20 yuan in Yanxitang, Quancheng Road, for a good meal, full of a large table of Shandong signature dishes.

Everyone is staggered, talking about "Journey to the West", and almost nothing is said about cooperation.

"Back to the political commissar, you see, this can be done?" Li Hongchang knew that Director Yang Jie, who was far away in BJ, was still waiting for a reply.

"How many more episodes are you going to make? How much funding is needed? Hui Jinlong's face turned red, and he glanced at Tang Qin, who was toasting, "Look, is Tang Seng's face worth three million?" ”

Yes!

On February 9, 1986, Luo Youzhi, director of the 11th Engineering Bureau, led a team to BJ and signed the "Agreement on Joint Investment in the Production of TV Dramas with Ruan Ruolin, then deputy director of China Television Station and director of China TV Drama Production Center, Huang Zonghan, director of China TV Drama International Cooperation Company, and Yang Jie, director of "Journey to the West".

The agreement indicates that the total investment of the TV series "Journey to the West" is 9 million yuan, and the 11th Bureau of China Railway has invested 3 million yuan.

This money in the snow can finally bring the "Journey to the West" TV series back to life!

"Xiao Tang, this face is worth three million!" Li Hongchang returned to the crew, held Director Yang's hand, and said this sentence.

"Xiao Tang is the number one hero of our crew," the crew rejoiced, the haze of the previous days was swept away, and Director Yang Jie smiled, "Tonight, the whole crew will celebrate Xiao Tang's birthday." ”

Director Yang bought a cake, the station sent a cake, Qiu Peining and Liu Li also bought a cake, the Journey to the West crew was so rich for the first time.

"Pounce—"

The candles went out, and the lights in the room suddenly went out again.

Director Yang only felt a cold on his face, and a piece of cream was smeared on his face, and then the screams of the lesbians and the laughter of the gays rang out in the darkness.

"Ouch, who is so annoying, turn on the light, wipe my neck!"

"Don't rub it on your hair!"

"You don't waste it, don't waste it......"

Frightened, laughing, excited...... became the main theme of this room, and in this unrestrained dark moment, laughter and happiness became the theme of the crew.

The lights were suddenly turned on again.

Everyone had a smile on their faces, but it was as if they were frozen in place.

I saw that the four cakes had staggered, and everyone had cake cream in their hands, and their hair, clothes, and faces were full of milk stains, which made everyone laugh again.

"Hey, don't you think it's like there's one person missing?" Li Chengru smiled and wiped the cream on his face with paper while looking around.

"Who?" Zhang Jinlai was still unsatisfied, and wiped the cake in his hand on Yu Hong's face.

"Your master, who else can there be, birthday star, our hero." Liu Li didn't have a good airway.

"Yes, what about people?" Everyone looked around, "You're not going to run away, are you?" ”

Qiu Peining was also looking around, someone opened the door and took a look in the corridor, but still no one was found.

Suddenly, the curtain moved, Tang Qin smiled and walked out from behind the curtain, his body was clean, there was no cream on his three million face, and he looked very refreshing and clean among the embarrassed red men and green women.

He picked up a piece of cake and put it in his mouth, "Well, it's delicious, Comrade Tang Qin, I wish you a happy birthday." ”
