"Yes, the professor in Southern California said that he hopes that we can only take on one play a year at most. One-third of the time will be spent trying to figure out the role, one-third of the time will be spent on filming, and the remaining one-third will be spent on filming.
Self-adjustment and recovery.”
"That doesn't matter, we are not short of money anyway. It will take one year or even two years to find a script you like." Sun Dahai once again exposed the face of a young upstart.
"Our crew resumed work on the morning of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. Gabriel and I discussed it and we invited the main crew members to have dinner on the third day of the Lunar New Year at your store in Sanlitun. After the meal, we invited them to my slow shake next door.
Let’s have some fun, and when the time comes, you can come too if you have time.”
"On the night of the third grade of junior high school? Let's talk about it then. I'll go take a look when I have time. I heard that your crew has many celebrities from the domestic film and television industry. Is it true?" Sun Dahai asked.
"I'm not very familiar with domestic actors. But the Yinglao who will be starring opposite me is said to be an old artist, and he is also the deputy minister of the Ministry of Culture. But it hasn't been filmed yet, and we have only met a few times.
That’s all.”
"Yinglao is also on the crew?"
"Yes, he was sent by the Ministry of Culture to coordinate the work of the crew, and he also plays a major supporting role in the film."
Ying Lao is a serious Manchu aristocrat, a famous translator and performing artist. He is now the deputy minister of culture and director of the film and television production department, and has the power of life and death in all co-produced films.
Ying Lao is very good at foreign languages. He has devoted his life to the exchange of Chinese and Western cultures. Now that he is personally on the crew of "The Last Emperor", it is a sign that the country attaches great importance to this film.
"By the way, Zhang Yimou originally said he would come here. But at today's dinner, he was dragged away by his friends. So he asked me to tell you that he will come home to pay New Year's greetings on the third day of the Lunar New Year."
"He's too polite. It's not necessary. By the way, Uncle Wei, how was your time on the set of "The Last Emperor"? Is this role easy to play? Is there anything interesting that happened?" Sun Dahai started to gossip.
…
The Lunar New Year of 1987 arrived. When the New Year's bell rang on TV, everyone in No. 18 Xihuangchenggen stood up and wished each other New Year's greetings.
Sun Dahai and several other children paid New Year greetings to the elders present, and everyone received red envelopes. Wang Xiaowa, who followed Sun Yuanyuan and Sun Dahe to pay New Year greetings, held a lot of red envelopes in her hands, but didn't know what to do.
Sun Yuanyuan quickly told her, feel free to accept it. Each red envelope contains only one yuan. This is the rule of the Sun family. They just pursue a traditional sense of ceremony. What they want is the festive spirit, not the amount of New Year's money.
Jiang Xiuping also said: "Xiaowa, please feel free to accept the red envelope for New Year greetings. We don't have much money. Our family has always been like this."
Gao Zhizhi also received these red envelopes. She had received them two years ago, so she would not be embarrassed now.
Gao Yi's situation is a bit special. She is in school, but because she has been working as Sun Dahai's assistant and her status has not changed, she receives 70% of the basic salary every month.
This salary is provided by Shiweitian. Sun Dahai has the title of consultant in Shiweitian, but he does not earn a dime. Gao Yi does have an income. This is what Huang Feifei takes special care of. Gao Yi cannot be allowed to do so.
Just follow Sun Dahai and do it for nothing.
Therefore, Gao Yi originally prepared red envelopes, but like Hu Cheng, he did not send them out. Sun Weiguo told them that although they had income now, they were all of the same generation, so the new year's money should be waived.
Thinking about it, they are the people who follow Sun Dahai. Sun Dahai brings all the young people to pay New Year greetings. Whether to give the new year's money to Sun Dahai is a big problem.
As for Zheng Peipei, everyone just ignored her. She was not very old, but she was of a higher generation. She was considered to be of the same generation as Sun Weiguo. But she was now a full-time student, so it was a confusing matter whether to receive or distribute the New Year's money.
.
Even excluding the three of them, Sun Dahai and the others received seven red envelopes each. Huang Lao, Jiang Xiuping, Sun Weiguo and his wife, Sun Weihong and his wife, Fang Datong, Fang Lin and his wife, and Ren Tuwei, who just came over.
It looks like there are a lot of red envelopes, but in fact each person gets only seven yuan.
You know, even Sun Yuanyuan, who never took the initiative to earn money in school, earned an average of nearly ten yuan per month from scholarships and work-study last semester.
Li Cuifeng invited everyone to come over and eat dumplings. This was the first pot of dumplings cooked in the New Year in a hurry. Even if they were not hungry, everyone would eat one or two and get good luck.
What's more, there was Ren Kuei in the room who was not full from the banquet. He finished a large plate by himself. As a result, after several large plates of dumplings were cooked, there were only a few left.
After eating the dumplings on the first day of the new year, everyone dispersed and prepared to rest.
Fang Lin drove and took Cao Yue and Fang Datong back to their home in Baiwangyuan. They live there now, upstairs and downstairs, which is very convenient.
Hu Cheng was also given a day off. He drove back to his parents' new home in Gulou. In fact, Sun Dahai wanted him to go home for the New Year tonight. Hu Cheng felt that there were many people here at night, so if he needed help, he
It would be more convenient now.
Now that the new year has arrived, he can go home with peace of mind. Sun Dahai asked him to drive the car back and take his parents and two younger sisters out for a few days.
Mr. Huang will stay at home tonight. It is already early in the morning. Although his yard is very close to here, there is no need for him to bother anymore. Anyway, there is a special room for Mr. Huang here.
The Gao sisters also stayed. The two brothers, Gao Hongjun and Gao Hongqi, were so dedicated to their work that they never even came back for the Spring Festival for several years.
…
Early in the morning on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Mr. Huang was picked up by a special car to attend a group meeting of the Veteran Cadres Bureau.
Sun Weiguo and Jiang Xiuping also left home in the morning. One of them organized the company's New Year's greetings and dinner party for Huang Feifei. The other went to represent the Yingcai Education Foundation to pay New Year's greetings to the teachers on duty, international students and staff of three Yingcai schools.
.
Although these were none of Sun Dahai's business, he did not sleep too much. Since the morning, the calls for New Year greetings have not stopped. This has really become a hotline, and the phone is very hot.
There were also a lot of calls from the United States. In addition to the Andrew family, who had to call every year on the first day of the new year, there were also calls from Linkwood and Joseph, who represented all the staff of the ranch.
In addition, there were calls from Citibank’s customer service team represented by Maggie, Ent, and Chen Xi, and even the mayor of Celias Town, Kaibinson, also called. On behalf of Celias Town, he called
Sun Dahai expressed congratulations.
But everyone is very nice. They made the call after calculating the time difference between the two countries. Otherwise, Sun Dahai would probably not be able to rest.
