Chapter 43 The Roots of the Year
"That's it for today, Xiao Gu, go back and sort out the main content of our meeting in the past few days, and hand it over to me tomorrow."
It's another day of meeting and research, and when the big guys discuss it together, they don't feel that after the meeting is over, everyone has a sore back.
It's really hard to sit still for a long time like this.
After sorting out his personal belongings, Gu Bei went back to the office, Li Chengru was also with him, he was a supernumerary member of CCTV, and he usually had no place to stay, it just so happened that Gu Bei and Lao Zhang still had a vacant place in this office, the colleague who only heard his name and did not see him, and retired at the end of the year, Li Chengru simply worked here temporarily.
It has been almost three months since Gu Bei came to CCTV, and the time has entered 1982, and he has reached the end of the year.
According to Director Yang Jie's plan, after the New Year, the crew of "Journey to the West" will officially get busy.
Framing, casting, and makeup will all end in the first half of the year, and then officially start in July, it sounds like there is plenty of time, but after all, "Journey to the West" is registered in the hearts of the leaders above, and as a key project of CCTV next year, everyone dare not slack off.
"Xiao Gu, aren't you off work yet? What time is it? ”
Li Chengru packed up his things and was about to leave, when he saw Gu Bei still sitting at his desk, spreading out the manuscript paper, and writing and drawing on it.
"It's not quiet at home, I'll sort out the meeting minutes first, and tomorrow morning the head of the art department will be at the meeting, and Director Yang will report to work."
As the focus of the station's work, Yang Jie has to report the preparation progress of "Journey to the West" at the team leader meeting every day, and things like sorting out materials should have been done by assistant director Zhu Xiaofeng.
But Director Zhu was busy adapting the script, and since Yang Jie read Gu Bei's proposal last time, she felt that his copywriting skills were good, so she handed over this work to him.
Hearing Gu Bei say this, Li Chengru simply didn't leave, pulled out a chair and sat next to the heater.
He also has troubles, he is old, and the old mother at home whispers in his ear all day long, and he feels upset when he talks too much.
Urging marriage is such a thing, but it is not divided into generations.
Children want to start a business first, and parents are looking forward to starting a family early, which is naturally opposed.
"Xiao Gu, I heard that last time we went to Jingying to watch the graduation drama, Zhu Lin also gave you her contact information?"
Gu Bei didn't raise his head, and listening to Li Chengru's tone, he guessed what this old guy wanted to say.
"Well, what's wrong?"
Hehe!
Li Chengru smiled wryly: "It's nothing, I'm just ...... I'm curious, when I was in the training class before, Zhu Lin was that person...... Anyway, it doesn't feel very approachable, and I don't usually talk to others. ”
I guess you can't talk much, right?
Gu Bei met Zhu Lin again later, he went to Beijing Film Studio to find teacher Wang Xizhong, and it happened that Zhu Lin was filming a drama in Beijing Film Studio, and the two had lunch together.
After a little more contact, Gu Bei could also see that Zhu Lin had a cheerful personality, but he was also divided.
When you meet someone with the right temper, you love to talk and laugh.
"What do you want to say? Won't you still be playing Zhu Lin's attention, people are married. ”
Belch......
Li Chengru made a big red face: "What are you talking about, I still want to remind you." ”
"Pull it down, Zhu Lin and I are friends."
After speaking, Gu Beidu felt that this explanation was redundant, what was there to explain.
Those who are clear are self-purifying.
To put it clearly, Zhu Lin, or the king of the daughter country she plays, is Bai Yueguang from Gu Bei's childhood in his previous life.
After being reborn, I did have a thought, but it was just a whims.
Even if Zhu Lin is not married, and the two of them do not have the ten-year age gap, do they have to have something to do with each other?
Emotional matters are about fate.
He and Zhu Lin have no fate, so it's good to be ordinary friends.
Seeing that Li Chengru was about to say something, Gu Bei directly stopped his words.
"Brother Li, if you have the heart to think about this, you might as well think about it at work, after the New Year, we have to set off in March, how to arrange it is within your responsibility."
The general route, Yang Jie has already decided, and some of the places she wants to go to have already been delineated, but how to arrange the itinerary, Yang Jie has all handed over to Li Chengru to be responsible.
There are so many funds, clothing, food, housing and transportation are all included along the way, how to design the itinerary to save time and effort, and most importantly, to save money, it depends on Li Chengru's ability.
"It's okay if you don't say this, my head hurts when I mention it, do you have time now? Look at this. ”
After Li Chengru finished speaking, he didn't care whether Gu Bei had time to spare, he directly took out a map and spread it on the table.
"Director Yang decided, starting from the capital in early March, first going to Nanjing, then Yangzhou, Yixing, Anhui Huangshan, Jiuhua Mountain, Hangzhou, Zhejiang Ningbo, Hangzhou ......"
While speaking, Li Chengru's finger slid on the map, and there were several places in which he made special notes, which Yang Jie had to go to in his plan.
For example, Shanjuan Cave in Yixing, Yaolin Wonderland in Hangzhou, Tiantong Temple in Ningbo, Kaiyuan Temple in Quanzhou, Nanputuo in Xiamen, and Nanshan Temple in Zhangzhou and so on.
"See? It's only half the way, and I still have one. ”
The framing plan, director Yang Jie once said when he was in a meeting before, that the general plan is to go to the southeast first, then to the southwest, start in March and end in early May.
Since the goal of the word "tour" has been set, where is the location of each episode, you need to look carefully, and only when you find the location can you set the shooting plan for the future.
Nowadays, unlike later, film and television bases are blooming everywhere, and no matter what era the scenery and buildings, they can be found in various film and television bases.
The situation now is, nothing.
The story of "Journey to the West" spans many provinces from the Tang Dynasty to Tianzhu, and requires a variety of scenery.
For example, Huaguo Mountain, Water Curtain Cave, and then Xiaoleiyin Temple and White Bone Cave.
The entire preparatory team, including director Yang Jie, has no idea in his heart, and he can only draw up a general route according to the content of the story where to find a suitable location.
This route is not based on the real route taken by Tang Seng back then, because after all, it is not to shoot "The Legend of Xuanzang", but to include the most beautiful, known, and unknown famous mountains and rivers, Buddhist temples, Taoist temples, and scenic spots in the country from north to south, from east to west.
It's only two months, and I want to go through all these places, and the time is tight, and most importantly......
"That's just a little money, Xiao Gu, tell me, this ...... It's embarrassing. ”
The time constraint can be overcome, and everyone has worked hard, but if the money is not together, it is indeed a bit difficult to do.
You can save on food, and you can overcome the simplicity of living, but how to save travel expenses?
Walking down on two legs, no one who has been walking for three or five years wants to finish it.
Gu Bei looked at Li Chengru with a sad face, and knew that the meeting summary could not be written.
"Brother Li, it's useless for you to complain to me! Things are man-made, and there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. ”
Is that comforting?
"It's not a complaint, the difficulties are there, everything else can be overcome, how to overcome it if you don't have enough money, you can't go halfway and run out of money, a group of people are trapped in the local area, right?"
Hehe!
That's a good idea.
If it's really because you don't have money and you're stuck somewhere, you can't just ignore it, right?
At least the travel expenses back to the capital have to be remitted.
"What's the use of you being anxious now, follow Director Yang's route and study it well, see if there is any place where there is no need to go, delete it appropriately, the money is what Director Yang wants to come down, how much she can count in her heart."
Gu Bei said, sorted out all the things on the table, put them in his bag, and went home tonight, and he had to work overtime again.
"Let's go! It's all here, find a place to eat outside and then go home! ”
"Please?"
Hey, this chicken thief.
Coming out of the unit, the whistling northwest wind almost lifted the two of them up, wrapped their clothes tightly, and moved to the carport step by step.
Fortunately, there are many small shops nearby, some state-run and some personal, and the two of them found one with the lights on, so they broke in.
Call......
The wind was so hard that both of them were almost wooden.
Just after the meal, there were no customers in the store, and an old man at the counter responded, and when he saw the two of them coming in, he hurriedly stepped forward, and knew that it was not a state-run store when he saw the service attitude.
If it's really state-run, who cares about you?
And after the meal, they still come to make trouble, and it's not bad if they don't kick people out.
"What are you two going to eat?"
Gu Bei glanced at the water sign on the wall, there was nothing new, there were dumplings, noodles, and various seasonal side dishes.
One person asked for half a catty of dumplings, a plate of peanuts, and a plate of jelly meat.
Pay the money, pay the food stamps.
"Have a drink?"
Li Chengru hesitated for half a second: "Then drink some." ”
"Another half a pound of soju."
"Okay!"
The old man shouted, lifted the curtain and ran to the kitchen, he was alone in this store, running the hall, the chef, the cashier, and the boss, which can be described as multi-skilled.
It is estimated that it is not that I can't afford to hire people, but I don't dare to hire people.
Soon the dumplings and vegetables came up, and the meat skin was not good to eat, Gu Bei took another handful of local tyrants and added a plate of sauced beef.
Li Chengru knew that Gu Bei had plenty of money, so he was polite.
"Xiao Gu, I will borrow flowers to offer Buddha today, and I will give you a cup to congratulate."
Gu Bei smiled and picked up the small wine cup and touched it with Li Chengru.
Before the meeting this afternoon, Gu Bei received a notice that he would become a regular one month ahead of schedule, and his salary had risen to 45 yuan, which could be regarded as a joy.
Gu Bei doesn't care much about whether he can turn positive or not, whether he will increase his salary or not, but he is going well at work, and at least he has an explanation with his parents at home.
There is still a week for the New Year, and time flies so fast!
Slippery ......
A glass of wine in the stomach is really energetic.
