Banquet hall of Jingcheng Hotel.

When Gu Bei arrived, it was already full of people, and many old friends and colleagues who were not able to attend the last party also came this time.

The hall was full of people, old friends were reunited, and everyone had endless things to say.

"Director Gu, do you remember me?"

Suddenly, a woman with short ear-length hair stood in front of Gu Bei and asked with a smile.

Gu Bei only glanced at the other party, and then recognized it: "Queen Sweet Song, old friend, how could you forget." ”

The other party is Li Lingyu, who was also a smash hit in the mainland music scene in the eighties and nineties, and later got married and went abroad, but he rarely saw him again.

In addition to Gu Bei's cooperation with Li Lingyu in a "Journey to the West", Li Lingyu also participated in several Spring Festival Galas he participated in.

The last time "Journey to the West" reunited, Li Lingyu was abroad and couldn't come back in time, so he recorded a VCR to say hello to his old friends.

Because of the concert this time, the episode "Tianzhu Girl" sung by Li Lingyu was also one of the programs performed.

"How are you doing all these years?"

"Good!"

Don't look at Li Lingyu's delicate birth, but she really has a big personality in her bones, and nothing can make her take it to heart.

In fact, Gu Bei knew that Li Lingyu's life was not good, she had two marriages, and her second husband was Canadian, but that marriage only lasted a few years, and finally ended in divorce.

Now Li Lingyu lives alone in China with her children, and occasionally participates in some performances.

The two chatted for a while, and then went to talk to acquaintances again.

"Teacher Zuo, you are really becoming more and more like Guanyin Bodhisattva!"

Teacher Zuo Dafen is already in her sixties, but her face does not look old at all, and she is more and more kind, it is said that someone once met her on the street, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, to meet Guanyin Bodhisattva.

"Then you have to be kind to me, and I will bless you!"

Teacher Zuo Dafen is also a person who loves to talk and laugh, and when he saw Gu Bei, he joked with him.

Gu Bei smiled when he heard this: "If you want, come home with me after this performance, people are offering statues, and I am offering a true Bodhisattva at home!" ”

Saying that Teacher Zuo Dafen is a real Bodhisattva is not a joke.

When filming back then, Gu Bei had witnessed all kinds of "miracles".

Teacher Zuo Dafen smiled even more happily: "It's the same as back then, you know poverty, if you want to offer to the true god, or for this, Teacher Zhu!" ”

As he spoke, he pulled Mr. Zhu Longguang over, Gao Chuanbao in "Tunnel War" is now a dying old man, but his majesty is still there.

If Mr. Zuo Dafen is regarded as a living bodhisattva, Mr. Zhu Longguang is the Buddha Buddha in the minds of countless Buddhist believers.

Even his portrait has been respectfully invited back by Nepal to be enshrined, and there have been cases where Nepal's foreign ministry has contacted the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the hope that he will move to Nepal.

"See the Buddha!!"

Gu Bei bowed respectfully.

Seeing this, Teacher Zhu laughed heartily: "You kid, worship is also in vain, I don't have a real body to seal you!" ”

Seeing that there was a lively chat here, more and more people came around, and they also greeted Gu Bei one after another.

These teachers are enthusiastic about Gu Bei, not because of his current social status, but mainly because of Gu Bei's care for everyone when he was in the crew.

At that time, in the crew of "Journey to the West", when filming, Gu Bei was the on-site dispatcher, and he usually became the big housekeeper of the crew.

Gu Bei is responsible for the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the big guys, and occasionally he can eat a good meal, which is also a method that Gu Bei racked his brains to come up with.

The more contact you usually have, the better the relationship will naturally become.

Although some people haven't seen each other for many years, they are still in a relationship when they meet again.

"Teacher Yang still hasn't come?"

After walking around the banquet hall, Gu Bei still couldn't see the person he wanted to see the most.

Li Chengru shook his head.

The two of them were standing in the corner of the banquet hall at the moment, looking at the old friends who were still chatting lively.

Gu Bei sighed secretly, he knew that what happened at the beginning had hurt Teacher Yang Chunxia very much.

Either don't say yes, or if you do, don't go back.

After the broadcast of "Journey to the West" that year, because the role of the white bone spirit created was too successful, some viewers couldn't accept the heroine Ke Xiang in "Cuckoo Mountain" to play such a role, and wrote a report letter to Mr. Yang's unit.

felt that the white bone spirit she played was so ruthless, there must be something wrong, and hoped that she could be investigated, and the organization had to stop her performance in order to protect her.

How can this pair of Mr. Yang, who has always regarded stage performance as his life, accept.

As a result, the mustard in my heart is becoming deeper and deeper.

"I called again yesterday, and Mr. Yang said to think about it, but today ...... However, Mr. Yang asked me for Director Yang's mobile phone number! ”

Belch?

Gu Bei was stunned for a moment, then smiled.

It seems that there is still hope for this "grievance" to be resolved.

"Teacher Li, everyone is here!!"

At this moment, a young man approached, still holding a long list in his hand.

After Gu Bei and Li Chengru saw it, they also went to prepare.

"Teachers, teachers!"

Li Chengru took a microphone and walked up to the stage of the banquet hall, and the originally noisy banquet hall gradually quieted down.

"Teachers, listen to me."

Looking at the people in the audience, Li Chengru was also a little excited, originally he had a little resentment towards the crew of "Journey to the West", three in and three out, but he was forced to leave the crew without waiting for the whole drama to be completed, and he couldn't get the true scriptures with everyone.

But time has passed, and he also wants to open up the original thing, and he is very happy to see the big guy at this moment.

"I haven't seen each other for several years, and some old friends haven't seen each other for 20 years, thank you, and welcome everyone back to our Journey to the West family!"

"Good ......"

Xiang Han, who loves to join in the fun, shouted hello, and then the applause in the banquet hall was thunderous.

"Don't applaud, don't rush to applaud! I'm just a worker, and then, let's use warm applause to invite our director Yang Jie to appear on the stage and say a few words for you. ”

The applause that had just fallen sounded again, Director Yang Jie walked up slowly, nearly eighty years old, the old lady was still in good spirits, watching her walk, who could guess her age.

took over the microphone from Li Chengru's hand, looking at the familiar faces, Yang Jie was also excited at the moment, and the hands holding the microphone were trembling because of excitement.

"The big guys meet again."

Everyone gradually quieted down, and their eyes were focused on Director Yang Jie.

"26 years ago, I started the filming of "Journey to the West" with all of you, 20 years ago, we worked together to complete the first mythological TV series in the history of Chinese TV dramas, 6 years, a child from birth to elementary school, until today, I often think, pay so much effort, endure so much hardship, just to make a film, is it worth it, more than 20 years, I have never watched this drama, until a few days ago, I watched it for the first time from beginning to end, What I have to say today is that I still have a lot of regrets! ”

Speaking of this, Yang Jie pondered for a moment, and then continued to meet everyone's puzzled eyes.

"At the beginning, due to the limitations of funds, equipment, and technology, many ideas could not be realized, if it is put now, it may be better to shoot, but just when I was chatting with everyone, I suddenly understood that if "Journey to the West" is filmed today, adding more advanced special effects, it may be able to shoot more beautifully, but it will definitely not be possible to shoot "Journey to the West" that the audience likes, because people are different, and now let the pony wear a belly of twenty pounds, I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on!"

Ma Dehua in the audience smiled, when he was filming, he had to wear a heavy belly all day long, and after a long time, he also suffered a back injury, not to mention letting him play Zhu Bajie now, even if he stood for a long time, his waist couldn't stand it.

"Therefore, back then, those of us who ate cold steamed buns, nibbled on raw pickles, and received a subsidy of dozens of yuan every month, really did a very great thing, and it is unimaginable now."

Today's actors, casually second- and third-tier, have a salary of tens of millions, and the popular ones even offer tens of millions of prices, and the film and television dramas that can be filmed are really difficult to compliment.

"As a director, I want to thank each and every one of you, thank you for your efforts, so that the TV series "Journey to the West" is here, thank you!"

After speaking, Director Yang Jie bowed deeply to the audience.

In addition to being grateful, everyone once again sent warm applause.

Immediately afterwards, Hong Minsheng, the deputy director of CCTV in charge of the Ministry of Literature and Art, and Ruan Ruolin, the director of "Journey to the West", also took the stage to speak in turn.

Gu Bei walked to Director Yang Jie's side: "Director Yang, are you ...... today?"

"Think those words shouldn't come out of my mouth!?"

The old lady smiled, completely unimpressed.

Oh, yes!!

It's really not like what Director Yang Jie said.

At the beginning, even when it was finished, Director Yang Jie didn't say so many words of thanks, just simply said a few words of hard work, and then turned around and left.

"People always have to change, I just become a little late, admit other people's efforts, pay, this is as it should be!"

Director Yang Jie said, took out her mobile phone, and looked down for a while.

"I just got a phone call!!"

Gu Bei was stunned when he heard this, and immediately guessed who called.

"I apologized, and she accepted, and that's ...... Meddlesome! ”

The things that have been on my mind have finally had a result, and I have been guilty for more than 20 years, and now I can let go.

"That's a good thing!"

Director Yang Jie smiled: "Thank you, and thank you Xiao Li!" ”

After speaking, Director Yang Jie quickly sorted out her emotions and walked towards Ruan Ruolin, who was calling her.

The banquet hall was bustling with activity again.
