Chapter 945 The Incomplete Beijing Circle
West Third Ring North Road.
A blue BJ130 light truck drove into the compound tumbling, and the back was full of New Year's goods. Zhao Baogang, who was escorting the car, jumped down and shouted loudly: "Everything comes out! Move things and things!"
"Here's here!"
Feng's pants were the first to run out, grinning and revealing a bite of rotten teeth: "So many good things? Can you get one more basket of apples this year?"
"What kind of dreams do we have? We are both the lowest working class, so it's good to have New Year's goods."
"Oh, the working class in other units is grandfather, why are they separated from the masses?"
"Shh!"
Zhao Baogang was silent and interrupted Feng Pups' complaints. The two of them buried their heads in moving things. Several other people came out of the building to move them together. They laughed and discussed that this year's hairtail was good. Why wasn't Gong Xue on the cover of the calendar? They gave her five kilograms of pork to her mother-in-law.
The two also laughed and participated in the discussion, but it could be seen that they were smiling and showing a sense of congratulations.
In public institutions like Beijing Television Art Center, the core personnel are all staffed by cadres because they are professional and technical personnel such as screenwriters, directors, photography, etc., and they must be distinguished from ordinary employees.
Zhao Baogang used to be a worker in the sand turning factory, and he was able to enter the unit after acting in "Four Generations in the Family". Zheng Xiaolong put forward three conditions at that time: no job change, no house separation, and no acting! If you agree, I will accept you.
So Zhao Baogang was hired as a worker, so why aren’t he allowed to act? His task is to do odd jobs, behind the scenes, and what should I do if I distract myself from acting? Feng Kuzi is the same. Although he has the title of an artist, he has no qualifications and background. It would be nice to let him come in. How could he be hired as a cadre?
As mentioned earlier, in the early days, the domestic literary and artistic circles were basically hereditary.
The Beijing Circle is even more so.
There are only a few people who can climb up from a grass-roots person.
Everyone divided the New Year’s goods, nothing more than rice, flour, oil, hairtail, apples, calendars, etc. Then, all the staff held a meeting, and Zheng Xiaolong spoke: "It's almost the New Year, and we're about to have a holiday, so let's talk about it briefly."
"Ladyclothes Police" received a great response last year. This year's Golden Eagle Awards and Feitian Awards, the outside world is unanimously optimistic that we can win the award! In addition to the previous two years of "Four Generations in the Family" and "Triumph at Midnight", if we win the award for three consecutive years, then we can stand it in China!"
When everyone heard this, they were all smiling happily and were quite honored.
"So continue to work hard this year, and we will discuss it when we come back after the New Year..."
Zheng Xiaolong paused and said, "There is another point. Last year, Oriental Company seconded a few people to film a drama. What do you mean? This is a task from the superior. We have to cooperate, but our hearts cannot be dissipated. We should focus on our own production."
"Then we will go seconding again this year, will we still go?" Feng Kuzi couldn't help asking.
"Let's talk about it when I'm here, I'll deal with it! Let's go."
Zheng Xiaolong waved his hand and signaled to leave the meeting.
Before the New Year, the atmosphere was relaxed and no one cared about it. Feng Kuzi winked at Zhao Baogang and ran outside to squat and smoke. The one who smoked Dubao, the first choice for local old cannons, was Jindawei Chong, and each box costs less than one yuan.
"How long have we been back?"
"It's been one month?"
"Ouch! I can still dream in my dreams now, it's great!" Feng Kuzi sighed.
"It's a pity that we were called back in advance. I still want to follow "The Legend of the Woman"!"
Zhao Baogang also looked depressed and said, "Hey! Do you have some opinions about Oriental Company as you say? It seems not very friendly."
"Absolutely! Oriental Company is making movies, and now it's robbing TV series jobs and borrowing people from the company. Of course, it's uncomfortable. But I heard that people directly connect with radio and television, and the director has to obey the orders."
"We are not at the same level. People earn US dollars, and Teacher Gong Xue is nominated for Oscars!"
On the eve of the Spring Festival in 1988, two losers were blowing the cold wind under the building of the Beijing TV Art Center, full of yearning for time travelers, dissatisfaction and anxiety about their own situation.
Oriental Company filmed "Bao Qingtian" and "The Legend of the Woman", and borrowed several people, including them. When they went to the crew, they had been alive for half their lives. First, in order to film two dramas, they actually built a film and television city.
It is extremely generous, and the division of labor is clear, orderly, and highly professional, far exceeding the simplicity of the mainland crew.
There is actually another position called Tea Water Master!
These had a great impact on them, just like the Beijing Film Studio was deflowered by "The Last Emperor".
"Didi!"
A loud horn interrupted them. When they looked up, a familiar van drove in. One person got off. It was Li Wen and Li Dada, whom he thought to himself.
"Director Li!"
The two stood up and were very excited. Li Wenhua smiled and said, "Why are you hiding outside and chatting? I'll do something, don't hello to me."
He walked straight into the building and found Zheng Xiaolong.
Explain the purpose of the trip.
Of course, Zheng Xiaolong disagreed and said, "Director Li, there are not many people in our unit. You can second it, and we are willing to cooperate. But why do you still need people by borrowing it?"
"Our TV drama department has even fewer staff. I think they are both good, and they do not occupy core positions. One artist and one worker has no impact on you. When you shoot dramas, I also shoot dramas, and cooperation will be inevitable in the future."
"Since cooperation is indispensable, there is no need to transfer jobs. If you need someone, I'll lend it to you."
Zheng Xiaolong still disagrees. He has an indescribable sense of rejection of Oriental Company and Chen Qi: Just like a second generation who has successfully started a business, seeing a civilian who is also successful in his business, even more successful than himself...
Who are the people he is in contact with? Wang Shuo, Haiyan, Ma Weidu, and Ye Jing.
All are children.
Zhao Baogang and Feng Kuzi squeezed in to the death. Ge You and Chen Daoming later joined, Zhang Guoli also sneaked in, and Huayi's brothers Wang... These people formed the core of the Beijing circle.
Li Weng talked for a long time and his face darkened. He was from Beijing Film Studio. Beijing Film Studio was orthodox at this time, so he would not be so arrogant to these people.
"Director Zheng! We are filming movies. In order to support the domestic TV drama industry, we promised Minister Ai to film 50 episodes of dramas. We still have plans for the follow-up. But we are short of staff now, so I can't ask myself for the request. If they are both core positions, I will not talk to you.
But if I want to transfer a craftsman and a yard, can't I be able to transfer it to enrich my staff? Is this little thing really going to be a mess with Minister Ai?"
"You..."
Zheng Xiaolong was very depressed, and he naturally saw the potential of the two, otherwise he would not have cultivated them. But when Li Weng said this, he had to say: "Forget it, let's go through the process officially!"
"That's good, I'll go back and write a document for you!"
When Li Wenhua heard this, he laughed and said, "Director Zheng, your unit is full of talents and is all the best in the industry. How many of us are there? Comrade Chen Qi is busy overseas and does not pay attention to TV dramas. He still has to learn from you!"
"It's easy to say, it's all for the people!"
The two shook hands and reached an agreement. Zheng Xiaolong felt that his luck seemed to be missing. Like the people from Hong Kong and Taiwan, there was a dark cloud covering his head.
When Li Wenhua left, he rubbed his temples and called Zhao Baogang and Feng's pants in to explain the matter.
"After completing the procedures after the Spring Festival, you can go there."
“…”
The two of them were so shocked that they didn't say anything. Then they looked at each other and saw a great surprise in each other's eyes. They would follow the Oriental Company in the future!
