Chapter 64 Li Lianjie

"Dong dong dong!"

"Please come in!"

Early that morning, Chen Qi knocked on the door of the factory director's office.

Wang Yang was drinking tea with a smile and said, "Let's sit down for a while. The guests will arrive soon. What have you been busy with these days?"

"I'm writing for "Story Club"!"

"Oh? Or martial arts?"

"Yes, it's called "Invincible Mandarin Duck Legs"!"

Chen Qi briefly told the story, Wang Yang nodded and said: "It sounds very interesting. I really don't know where you come from so many fights and killings in your mind. Others write one a year, but you write three a year.

"

"It's just because of the fighting that it's easy to write. I'm asked to write something profound, but I still can't do it..."

He paused and couldn't help but ask: "Old director, do you think the royalties paid to me in Hong Kong are Hong Kong dollars or RMB?"

“Of course it’s Hong Kong dollars!”

"Do you have any remittance coupons?"

"This...your situation is quite special, and I'm not sure. You'll find out when you go to the bank and ask." Wang Yang said.

Foreign exchange coupons are famous, but before that, there was another one called overseas remittance coupons.

When overseas Chinese send foreign exchange to domestic relatives and friends, the bank will directly convert it into RMB and allocate a certain amount of overseas remittance coupons. Domestic relatives and friends can go to overseas Chinese stores to buy many good things that are not available on the market with the overseas overseas Chinese coupons.

Anchovies, luncheon meat, Kenin milk powder, instant coffee, Western clothes... the common people can't even imagine what's in them. Even when the country is in the most difficult times, this supply has not been cut off, and many people are still enjoying a good life relying on overseas remittance coupons.

hot.

Only when relatives and friends in the country receive preferential treatment will overseas Chinese send more foreign exchange. This is a means of absorbing foreign exchange.

Hong Kong dollars are also included.

But no one knows whether Chen Qi’s work is royalties or royalties from Hong Kong state-owned enterprises. Whether there are remittance coupons or not.

Unconsciously, it was already mid-November, the literary conference had ended, Fu Qi and Shi Hui returned to Hong Kong, and introduced a leftist director to stay at the Beijing Film Studio.

The two waited for a while and someone arrived.

A man in his forties, with a broad face and big ears, walked with a swishy wind, and a bit of the temperament of an old scholar. When he entered the door, he laughed and said, "Old factory director, I'm sorry for bothering you!"

"Xin Yan, long time no see!"

Wang Yang shook hands tightly, pointed at Chen Qi and introduced: "He is the talented little screenwriter... This is director Zhang Xinyan!"

"Hello hello!"

"You are young and have a lot of promise!"

This person's name is Zhang Xinyan, and he is the new director of "Shaolin Temple".

He has always been a left-wing filmmaker, and later he also filmed "The Heroes of the Yellow River", "The Karate Kid", etc.

After some pleasantries, he said directly: "It's winter now, and the location is not beautiful, so I simply regarded it as the preparation period. I brought a few people over to organize the preliminary affairs, mainly selecting actors.

When spring comes next year and the flowers bloom, "Shaolin Temple" will start again."

"This is the safest way. How do you plan to choose actors?" Wang Yang asked.

"Don't use Peking Opera actors. This is a martial arts film. I want to find a group of people with real kung fu. I know a young man from the Beijing Wushu Team named Li Lianlian. A few years ago, the Chinese Wushu delegation visited the United States and passed by Hong Kong when they returned home.

The compatriots reported on the performance for a week, and I followed and filmed the documentary for a week."

Zhang Xinyan has a cheerful personality and talks eloquently: "He was only 11 years old at the time, and he was very good at boxing. He is almost 16-17 this year. I will go and see how he is doing."

"The fact that he can visit the United States shows that the country attaches great importance to him. He is a national champion, right?"

"right!"

"That's a bit difficult to handle. The martial arts team won't let him go unless you go to the National Sports Commission."

"Let me go and talk first..."

After talking about this, Zhang Xinyan turned to look at Chen Qi and said with a smile: "I read your "Kapok Kasaya". It's really well written, and it's just right to put it in "Shaolin Temple". I want to bother you for a while here.

Don’t bother me with studying the script!”

"Don't say that, I'll learn from you!"

…………

In early winter, the capital becomes increasingly colder.

Shichahai and Houhai have always been popular places for people to visit. When it gets colder and the lakes freeze, a large number of people come to skate.

On the west side of this area, there is the famous Shichahai Sports School. The predecessor of the Beijing Wushu Team was a martial arts class of this school.

Zhang Xinyan settled down at the Beijing Film Studio. He was very mobile and came over within a few days, and Chen Qi followed him closely - because he also wanted to look for actors for foreign exchange films.

"Director Zhang!"

"Coach Wu!"

Wu Bin, the ace coach of the martial arts team, was in charge of the reception. His attitude was enthusiastic, but he didn't agree with it. These days, there are relatively few people who cross industries. If you practice martial arts, you just practice martial arts. Why make a movie? But he comes from Hong Kong, so he has to be seen by others.

"Please come this way, our team members are training."

"At the National Games a while ago, our team performed well, but these kids were a little distracted and slacked off in training. How can this happen? In martial arts, if you don't advance, you will retreat. You have to practice hard every day."

Chen Qi complimented him at the right moment: "Yes, I've heard all about it. You have won several gold medals, and you are number one in the country!"

"Too serious to say so, it's still less than ten yuan, so we still need to work hard!"

Wu Bin's eyebrows almost flew up, and he led them into the training hall. A group of teenage boys and girls, some with bare hands, some with double knives or swords, were playing with clatter and fierceness.

"Look at that female team member, her name is Li Xia. She is the traditional equipment of the National Games and is the boxing champion!"

"That's Ge Chunyan, captain of the women's team. This kid is amazing. He is the fifth generation disciple of Bagua Zhang, the nineteenth generation successor of Chen Style Tai Chi, and the second generation successor of Hunyuan Tai Chi. Especially that set of Ba Gua Zhang is incredible.

ah!"

"That one is Wang Qun, captain of the men's team, good at spears, national runner-up!"

Wu Bin named a few outstanding apprentices, and finally pointed again, almost overflowing with pride: "That kid's name is Li Lianjie, he is only 16 years old this year, and he won five gold medals at the National Games! Five!"

With that said, he called Li Lianjie over.

Li Lianjie's official height is 169cm, but he looks shorter. He is wearing a blue training suit, has short hair, and is full of energy. When he looked at Zhang Xinyan, he said in surprise: "Director Zhang, why are you here?"

"I came here specifically to see you. How are you now?"

"I'm fine! I just won five gold medals and my salary has been increased..."

"Hey!"

Wu Bin quickly stopped. This kid is a martial arts prodigy, but his personality is a bit reckless. He talks about anything. Is his salary arbitrary?

Zhang Xinyan's eyes are really bright. Li Lianlian has good looks and good skills. He is definitely the best candidate for the protagonist of "Shaolin Temple". The most rare thing is that he has the appearance of a star.

Celebrity appearance is a very mysterious thing. It is the last piece of the puzzle that determines whether a person can become famous. For example, Wu Yue has thick eyebrows and big eyes, excellent skills, and good acting skills, but he is just tepid.

Zhang Xinyan and Li Lianlian chatted while Chen Qi searched everywhere and marked Wang Qun, Ge Chunyan and others one by one.

Then I saw another girl. I was not sure and asked, "Coach Wu, who is that?"

"Huang Qiuyan, Snake Fist and Double Sword are very good!"

Sure enough, it was Huang Qiuyan.

Chen Qi nodded, Li Lianjie's ex-wife.

Regarding Li Lianlian's various issues, some said he abandoned his wife and children, some said he changed his nationality, and some talked about the One Foundation. We have argued about it many times on the Internet, so I won't go into details... But Li Zhi is really the best!

In short, Chen Qi has his own plan, as long as such people can use it. Anyway, he has many ways to make people obey.
