Chapter 425 The new generation of directors in 'Popular Cinema'
The next day, the sky was clear and clear, with no clouds in the sky.
Early in the morning, Ren Dahui, who couldn't sit still, had already bought breakfast for everyone.
After eating and drinking, he came to pick up their van and honked the horn outside the gate carefully.
Watching the big guys get into the car one by one.
Huang Yongyu, who had been clamoring to stay in the house and paint, also got into the carriage at the last moment.
On the way to the flight destination, regardless of whether they were preparing to board the plane or those who stayed on the ground, they were all imagining the appearance of the helicopter they were about to meet.
Wang Fulin, who has four aerial photography experiences, became even more impatient after studying Jiangshan's cameras last night.
When it comes to aerial photography, Jiang Shan has done it several times.
It was precisely because of one of his adventures on a civilian helicopter that he was imprinted with a fear of heights.
As a result, after arriving at the destination and meeting Zhenzhang,
"Look," Jiang Shan was the first to rush out: "Who is this?"
"Such a big helicopter," Chen Peisi, who followed closely behind, looked at it with surprise: "It's so handsome!"
"That's good now," Wang Fulin said with a smile, "You can go up wherever you want."
Looking at the big guy in front of them, every pore is exploding, they never expected that the Li Department would actually arrange one for them - Super Hornet.
…
In 1955, my country's first seaplane unit was established in Qingdao.
In January 1980, with the successful first landing of a naval carrier-based helicopter, the first carrier-based helicopter unit was also born in Qingdao.
In 1973, our country spent a lot of money to buy back 14 "Super Hornets" from France, which naturally became the absolute main force of the carrier-based helicopter force.
At this moment, everyone was present, and no one was left behind to get into the "Super Hornet".
The "Super Hornet" with its ultra-stable body and 4-hour battery life gave Jiangshan, who was sitting in the middle position as the mechanic, a sense of solidity that was different from before.
The most gratifying thing is that the pilots and mechanics who performed the mission today are all very eloquent.
You are interested in their work and they are more interested in your work.
"The trestle is right in front of you, do you want to take a photo?"
"shoot!"
"Everyone, please pay attention, Mount Laoshan is right in front of you..."
"You are affected and go down a little bit,"
Jiang Shan felt that the more he talked, the less panic he felt: "The trouble will be at Erlong Mountain for a while."
Wang Fulin, who was holding the machine, was uniquely wearing light-colored clothes today in order not to cause reflection.
When he and Jiang Shan moved to the middle to open the hatch door for filming, the mechanic installed half of the baffle in time.
In short, everything went smoother than Jiangshan imagined.
Until after completing the shooting work and returning to the original location.
The excited group of people gathered in front of the "Super Hornet" and happily took a work photo.
…
Qingdao is particularly lively today.
At this moment, the area near the seaside pier had already been circled with hemp rope by the police comrades to keep out pedestrians.
The filming crew of the movie "Flying Symphony" is filming a set of scenes of the male and female protagonists walking on the beach.
This so-called Chinese version of "Top Gun" preceded the real "Top Gun" by five years.
At this moment, the actor Zhu Shimao, who plays the male lead, and the female lead Ma Yaoyao were walking together, talking and laughing.
"I really didn't expect it," Zhu Shimao looked at Ma Yaoyao and said with a smile, "your father is actually..."
Suddenly, Zhu Shimao raised his head inadvertently and was stunned when he looked at himself.
Among the crowd watching the fun not far away, the two young men standing in the front row were grinning at themselves and having a silly laugh!
As soon as they saw each other and saw themselves, the two guys quickly raised their hands and waved.
"Stop, stop, stop,"
When the director saw this situation, he quickly called a stop:
"Zhu Shimao, what's the matter with you? Don't look at the masses, and don't be influenced by the masses."
"I'm sorry, director," Zhu Shimao quickly withdrew his gaze: "I'll pay attention next time."
"Come on, everyone, pay attention, let's do this again..."
…
About 20 minutes later, Zhu Shimao, wearing a white shirt, trotted towards the crowd with a smile on his face.
"Finished?"
"The shooting is over,"
Zhu Shimaote looked at Jiang Shan and Chen Peisi in surprise: "You two really came to Qingdao?"
"Why," Chen Peisi said, "People are standing in front of you and you still don't believe it."
Zhu Shimao always thought that they were playing tricks on him:
"To be honest, when you called me yesterday, I didn't take it seriously at all."
The three grown men walked along the beach, and from time to time passers-by came up to say hello to Chen Peisi.
Compared to the unknown Zhu Shimao, Chen Peisi, who just won the Hundred Flowers Award, became famous first.
"How about we just go back and forget it,"
Jiang Shan looked at the two of them: "I'm afraid that if we walk for a while, we will attract crowds of people to watch."
"Blame me," Chen Peisi touched her big nose: "Why are you so famous all of a sudden?"
Jiangshan, Zhu Shimao: "Virtue!"
"Lao Maoqian, do you still have a show tonight?" Chen Peisi: "Why don't you come back with us?"
"Okay," Zhu Shimao said, "The scenes in Qingdao are all over, and our crew will move to another scene tomorrow."
"That's good," Chen Peisi said, "The three of us just take advantage of the opportunity to have a good chat tonight."
"Comrade Zhu Shimao,"
On the way back, Jiang Shan decided to throw away the burden first: "Happy wedding!"
"Hey, how did this happen?"
Looking at the glass tea set handed over by Jiang Shan, Zhu Shimao was immediately moved:
"It turns out that you all came all the way to Qingdao just to give me gifts."
"What are you thinking about? Jiang Shan and I just took a lot of photos on a military plane this morning,"
Chen Peisi stuffed a Double Happiness porcelain plate wrapped in newspaper:
"Here, this is the handicraft I carefully selected for you."
"What?" Zhu Shimao: "You two also came to Qingdao to film?"
On the way back, both sides were bragging to each other about how powerful the military aircraft they were flying was.
Until I heard that Qingdao's aircraft formation was performing a flight show specifically for the crew of "Flying Symphony".
Jiang Shan and Chen Peisi finally fell silent.
…
After dinner, everyone in Huashilou was busy with their own affairs.
Recently, Huang Yongyu, whose popularity has skyrocketed, has received invitations from many newspapers and magazines.
At this moment, the 56-year-old man was writing a prose poem "If I Live to Be a Hundred Years Old" in the room.
In the next room, Wang Shixiang, who has negotiated with the publisher to publish "Explanation of Paintings and Decorations", is taking photos of the Ming Dynasty furniture in the room.
Prepare for your next masterpiece "Research on Ming Style Furniture".
In a small living room on the third floor, Zhu Shimao was still envious:
"If you ask me, your leader is awesome. He actually assigned this building to you."
At this moment, as long as everyone is silent, you can hear the sound of the waves outside the window.
Sitting on the sofa, Jiang Shan and Chen Peisi each held a copy of "Popular Films" of that month.
While watching, they also got together from time to time to have fun.
"What are you two looking at?" Zhu Shimao asked curiously.
"Lao Mao, come here quickly,"
Chen Peisi quickly waved her hand: "Look, the movie Jiang Shan and I filmed was published in Popular Cinema."
"Yeah,"
Zhu Shimao quickly sat down on the armrest of Chen Peisi's sofa: "Hey, it's true."
The entire magazine was split in the middle, with an article titled "The New Generation Director Who Is a Screenwriter and Choreographer—Jiang Shan."
The two entire sides are covered with stills from "Tribute: The Eternal Wave".
From dance to short films, almost every small unit story has been published.
"Jiangshan," Zhu Shimao held the magazine in his hands and said with a smile, "Now you are famous."
Before Jiang Shan could speak,
"He has long been famous"
Chen Peisi pointed to the photo of herself delivering the report on the stage: "It's a pity that my photo is too far away, and I can't even see my face clearly."
"Can't see clearly, just fine,"
Zhu Shimao felt: "Otherwise, the audience would hardly be able to tell who is ours."
"What did I say,"
Jiang Shan looked at Chen Peisi and smiled: "I'm not happy if I don't let you act. Now someone finally stands on my side!"
"You two, stop coming,"
Chen Peisi changed the subject in time: "If you ask me, the cover of "Popular Cinema" this month is much better-looking than the previous few months."
The cover of "Popular Cinema" in the early 1980s has always been the topic of greatest concern to the people.
Not only the masses, but also actors and stars from all walks of life also wanted to be featured on the cover and back cover of "Popular Cinema".
Who was on the cover in the past few months?
Tang Guoqiang, Chen Chong, Liu Xiaoqing.
Let’s take a look at this month’s Jiang Lili.
Zhu Shimao: "You are not afraid that Liu Xiaoqing will hear you say this."
Chen Pei said nonchalantly: "I dare to say it even in front of her."
"I have never seen how beautiful this sister is on weekdays,"
The three men looked at Jiang Lili on the cover together, and Jiang Shan murmured: "I would say the picture of Zhang Yu in May is still more beautiful."
"You don't think people are good-looking," Chen Peisi pointed out in a second: "If she wasn't wearing your clothes, you would be able to like her."
After working on it for a long time, all the costumes in "Romance in Lushan" belong to the Jiangshan family.
Not only the general audience, but also the crew of "Romance in Lushan" thought so.
The reason why many lesbians yell at the costumes in their own movies is simply because they match the costumes of the "star costume performance team" who have taken a step forward.
"By the way, which one of you has "Popular Movies" from June last year?" Zhu Shimao asked.
Jiang Shan raised his hand: "I have it."
Chen Peisi pointed at Jiangshan: "He has it in every issue."
"I heard that in that issue of Popular Cinema, there was an article in which readers scolded them," Zhu Shimao said, "Have you seen Jiangshan?"
"Yes," Chen Peisi also remembered:
"I've also heard about this. It's said that this reader also threatened "Popular Cinema" in his letter. Is this true?"
In 1979, "Popular Cinema" resumed publication, but at first it was shaky and did not dare to publish it on a large scale.
Many people want to buy but can't.
It was not until March this year that more than 2 million copies of "Popular Cinema" were released, taking advantage of the launch of the "Hundred Flowers Award Ballot".
After this, "Popular Cinema" was completely cheated.
At its peak, it set a circulation record of more than 9 million copies.
"It does happen,"
Jiang Shan remembers it clearly: "Do you still remember the kissing photo on the back cover of "Popular Cinema" last May?"
After the fifth issue of publication was resumed, "Popular Cinema" became a big success.
A photo of a passionate kiss from the British movie "The Glass Slipper and the Rose" was placed on the back cover.
The quality of this photo is much more exciting than the sip of a drink in "Romance on Lushan Mountain".
The uproar came one after another.
From top to bottom, many people are criticizing "Popular Cinema" by name.
One of the enraged readers greeted the editor of Popular Cinema inside and out.
[You have actually fallen to this point... Is our socialist love just about hugging and kissing?]
Speaking of letters like this, magazines receive quite a few letters.
The key thing is that this guy also wrote an extra sentence in the letter:
[If you have the courage, please publish my letter as it is originally written and let the people of the country evaluate it. Otherwise, you are guilty of committing crimes.]
Therefore, "Popular Cinema" immediately published the letter intact the next month.
And five months later, a reader survey was published.
The accompanying text is "The cold wave cannot stop the pace of spring - a summary of letters from readers".
"What does it say above?" Zhu Shimao asked.
"It is said that only 3% of readers support that brother's point of view." Jiang Shan said.
"That is to say..." Zhu Shimao continued unkindly.
"That is to say," Jiang Shan said with a smile, "you will see more cruel pictures in the future."
…
Jiang Shan is right. "Popular Films" under the China Film Association has achieved a circulation of 9 million copies since 1980.
Then it started to slide all the way down.
Because after that, film and television magazines spread all over the country.
Subsequently, "Popular Cinema", which was forced into a hurry, began to expand its tactics.
First, in the mid-1980s, there was a cover photo of Queen Zhu Lin wearing a bra and off-shoulders.
Then, Chen Chong's vacuum suit, Gong Li's swimsuit... lined up one by one.
The turmoil continued until July 1992, when the young actress Xin Ying returned the favor and completely raised the profile of the cover of "Popular Films".
The following year, actor Ma Ling wore a dress that was not covered at the front and was slit to the stomach.
Coupled with the words of the editor-in-chief, "It's just to tease, it's just to fight for circulation."
The Federation of Literary and Art Circles and the publicity department hurriedly held a closed-door meeting and made the decision to suspend sales of "Popular Films."
But, it's too late.
The next issue of "Popular Cinema" has been released before the conference.
As a result, everyone ran over and took a look. The actress Shi Lan's perfect slope on the cover put even Ye Yuqing on the back cover to shame.
The marketing strategy of selling the product as soon as it went on the market has made "Popular Cinema" a huge profit again.
But since then, "Popular Cinema" has never been happy again.
Sometimes Jiangshan also thinks about it.
If Popular Cinema had been allowed to grow at that time, it would have become the magazine with the largest circulation in the world.
You must know that during that period, Mr. Han also turned around the Emei Film Factory's loss-making situation by making small movies.
It was precisely because of this that he was recruited by Beijing Film Studio to become the director.
…
At this moment, Jiang Shan was thinking about how it would be easy to work in a movie studio in the future.
Xiangjiang's ATV and TVB both sent two teams to stay in two hotels in Guangzhou with video recorders.
When the CCTV channel on the TV popped up the picture of "National Day Gift Film".
The two TV stations immediately pressed the recording button.
On the other side, photos of "McDonald's Avenue" in Xiangjiang City were also sent to the "Panasonic" delegation that was about to leave for China...
