Chapter 419 The last hope of the whole village!

Hu Qiming’s face changed and he immediately picked up the phone.

“Comrade Huang Mei.”

After a while, a voice came from the other end of the line, “Comrade Qiming, are you feeling well?”

“It’s okay, thank you Comrade Huang Mei for your concern.”

The two exchanged pleasantries and chatted for a while. Hu Qiming told Chen Huangmei about the recent work arrangements of the Beijing Film Studio. Chen Huangmei then mentioned:

“I heard that there have been a lot of rumors about the Beijing Film Studio recently?”

“Uh”

Hu Qiming paused and said, “This situation does exist.”

“Tell me the whole story from beginning to end.”

“it is good.”

Hu Qiming did not dare to be negligent, let alone talk nonsense.

He explained Zhu Lin’s resignation to Chen Huangmei in detail from a relatively objective perspective.

“That’s where you’re wrong.”

After hearing this, Chen Huangmei criticized, “Your Beijing Film Studio is one of the main production bases for feature films in the country, but you are not generous enough and too petty. You transfer actors there and then transfer them back. What kind of nonsense is this? Filming “Dream of Red Mansions” is your top priority. Do others have to accommodate you when they film “Dream of Red Mansions”?”

“Comrade Huang Mei is right in his criticism.”

Hu Qiming took on the attitude of standing at attention when being beaten, “Please rest assured, Comrade Huang Mei, I have already held a meeting with all the cadres at the department level and above in the factory to reflect on the mistakes made in this matter together.”

“Is reflection enough?”

Chen Huangmei sighed, “You have to show your attitude. Recently, I have heard from many people that many actors in the troupe have been punished by the factory for taking private jobs.

But the nature of Comrade Zhu Lin’s case is completely different.

If you want to punish someone for this kind of thing, that’s wrong. For this matter, you, the Beijing Film Studio, should apologize to Comrade Zhu Lin.”

Beijing Film Studio apologizes to an actor?
Hu Qiming was stunned for a moment, then immediately agreed, “I understand. We at the Beijing Film Studio will follow Comrade Huang Mei’s instructions.”

“I don’t mean a verbal apology.”

Chen Huangmei said: “We should deal with this matter as it should be dealt with, and we should investigate who should be held responsible.
In short, this matter has caused a lot of uproar, and the people and the fans are extremely dissatisfied with your Beijing Film Studio, so your Beijing Film Studio must take some practical actions to let the people and the fans see your sincere apology. “

“I understand.”

After the call was hung up, Hu Qiming was criticized and returned to the meeting room with a bitter face.

“Xiao Zheng.”

“Hu Factory.”

Zheng Kangmei agreed immediately.

“Write a letter of apology in the name of the factory.”

Hu Qiming’s words were like a huge rock thrown into the water.

Everyone looked at him in surprise.

Hu Qiming said calmly, “This letter must be written sincerely. On behalf of the Beijing Film Studio, we apologize to Comrade Zhu Lin and to all the fans across the country for this incident.”

“I understand.” Zheng Kangmei nodded.

Hu Qiming hadn’t finished his words yet. “Well, you can go visit Comrade Zhu Lin and express the factory’s apologies. I’ll go in person on this matter.”

“Hu Factory.”

Han Zetao became anxious when he heard this and wanted to say something, but Hu Qiming glared at him.

“Mr. Han, this is the instruction from Comrade Chen Huangmei,” Hu Qiming reminded.

“Old Coal”

Hearing this name, Han Zetao forced the words back into his mouth.

However, Hu Qiming did not intend to let him go so easily.

“For Han Factory, Dream of the Red Chamber is now the top priority of the entire factory’s filming tasks. We must keep a close eye on it at all times and not let down our guard.

I think you should stop all other work for now and focus on the filming of Dream of the Red Chamber and be the production director of the film. “

Hiss.

Everyone looked in Han Zetao’s direction.

Han Zetao is the deputy director in charge of creative work. Even if he is not the second or third in command in the factory, he still holds great power.

As a result of Hu Qiming’s words, he was demoted to a small production director of “Dream of Red Mansions”?

This is equivalent to kicking Han Zetao out of the leadership team with one kick!
Han Zetao took a deep breath.

Veins on his forehead were throbbing, but he said nothing and had to endure the loss in silence.

“How did it get like this?”

When Han Zetao returned home, his wife Wu Shanliu learned about this from him and immediately became furious.

“What does he want to do?!”

Wu Shanliu acted like a shrew and said, “I’m going to the factory to talk to Hu Qiming about this!”

“Where are you going? Stop right there!” Han Zetao got angry.

“Good for you, Han Zetao.”

Wu Shanliu felt aggrieved. “You were bullied at the factory, and you came home and got mad at me, right? How can I live like this?”

“Can you please stop yelling?!”

Han Zetao felt a headache and pulled Wu Shanliu back into the house. “Is Lao Hu trying to get me? Don’t you think about it? How can a factory director like him get to me?”

Han Zetao understood very well that as an important cadre in the factory, Hu Qiming certainly did not have the power to touch him directly.

Wu Shanliu also reacted, “You mean, it’s not Lao Hu who wants to touch you.”

“Of course it’s not Hu Qiming who wants to touch me.”

Han Zetao frowned and whispered, “It’s the name Hu Qiming mentioned.”

“List”

“shut up!”

Han Zetao glared at Wu Shanliu.

Wu Shanliu covered her mouth and dared not speak any more.

Han Zetao sighed, sat on the bed with a depressed look on his face, and lit a cigarette.

“Right now, I can only focus on the movie Dream of the Red Chamber. My chance depends entirely on this movie.”

Wu Shanliu seemed to be greatly encouraged and said with a smile, “Yes, you should keep an eye on this movie! This is a movie directed by Xie Tieli, and it is based on the Four Great Classics. How can it not be a hit after it is released?
When the factory makes a few million, it will be a great achievement for you, Han Zetao!”

Wu Shanliu was painting cakes while eating cakes herself. The more she talked, the more it seemed to be true. In the end, she couldn’t help laughing out loud: “Old Hu is actually a good person. He even left a way out for you.”

“Stop talking nonsense here. What do you know as a woman?”

Han Zetao cursed a lot, but he actually felt that what Wu Shanliu said made sense and believed so in his heart.

Directed by Xie Tieli, an all-star cast from Beijing Film Studio, huge investment, and four famous classics.
There’s no reason why a movie made up of these keywords wouldn’t be a hit!

It was also because Hu Qiming left him such a way out and left him such a hard and meritorious job that Han Zetao did not break up with Hu Qiming on the spot.

In his opinion, Hu Qiming’s intention was to let him stay out of the limelight for a while, and then bring him up again based on the credit for producing this movie after “Dream of Red Mansions” was released.

Han Zetao is imagining plots like “A blessing in disguise” and “Retreat to advance” here.

Of course he couldn’t imagine it.

After this movie was released, it didn’t even make a splash, let alone become a huge hit.

The Beijing Film Studio suffered heavy losses.

That year, the factory was in financial difficulties because the movie was a flop.

Such a large factory cannot even afford the heating fee of 10,000 yuan per day.

Finally, the factory had to stop heating that winter. How could one describe how poor it was?

Western suburbs, CCTV’s “Dream of Red Mansions” set.

“stop fighting!”

“stop fighting!”

“Oh my God!”

Chen Honghai lay on the ground, wailing for his mother, while Hou Changrong whipped him with a whip and cursed at him.

“Give me two sips of this water!”

“Ah? How can I drink such dirty water?” Chen Honghai was lying in the stinky ditch, his face full of tears and snot, and his body covered in mud.

“Just drink when I tell you to!” Hou Changrong rushed forward and pushed his head directly into the stinky ditch.

“Ouch. Gurgle gurgle woooo.”

The actors were really trying hard at this moment, and Chen Honghai actually drank the dirty water in two gulps.

This is a real scene. The water here is from the stinky ditch in the western suburbs.

“Okay, card!”

Wang Fulin shouted.

Chen Honghai fell to the ground and retched in disgust. Wang Fulin called the production staff:

“Hurry up and rinse Xiao Chen’s mouth!”

The girls watching nearby were almost laughing like crazy.

This scene shows Liu Xianglian beating up Xue Pan.

Hou Changrong played Liu Xianglian and Chen Honghai played the “stupid bully” Xue Pan.

Xue Pan wanted to mess with Liu Xianglian, but Liu Xianglian tricked him out, beat him up, and made him drink water from a stinky ditch.

Well, maybe Xue Pan was quite pleased with being beaten by Liu Xianglian.

If we analyze this passage in “A Dream of Red Mansions”, it seems like beating Xue Pan, but in fact it may be rewarding him.

It’s just some water from the stinky ditch. For this stupid bully, maybe he wants to drink something else.

Otherwise, why did Xue Pan and Liu Xianglian become brothers for life and death later?

“Hey, read the newspaper.”

At the sidelines, Zhang Li brought a copy of China Youth Daily. Jiang Ke, who had the best relationship with her, took it first and saw the apology letter from Beijing Film Studio:

“Dear Comrade Zhu Lin and all the fans and friends:

Hello everyone! With deep sorrow and regret, Beijing Film Studio would like to express our sincerest and deepest apologies to Comrade Zhu Lin and all the fans who have supported us all along.

Comrade Zhu Lin, since joining the Beijing Film Studio, you have created many classic works for our studio with your superb acting skills and professionalism, and have made indelible contributions to the development of China’s film industry.

However, we failed to provide you with a harmonious working environment, causing you to suffer unnecessary pressure and grievances, for which we deeply regret.

To all the movie fans, we solemnly promise that we will strengthen management in the future to prevent similar incidents from happening again. We will work hard to create more high-quality film and television works and live up to everyone’s love and expectations for the Beijing Film Studio.

We sincerely hope that Comrade Zhu Lin can return to the Beijing Film Studio and continue to display your talents. We will use practical actions to demonstrate our determination to correct our mistakes and gain your understanding.

——Yanjing Film Studio”

“Even such a big company like Beijing Film Studio apologized to Zhu Lin!” Ouyang Fenqiang was surprised.

“Hmph. It’s their fault that the Beijing Film Studio is so blind that they dared to offend Zhu Lin from our crew.” Jiang Ke crossed his arms across his chest, looking very relieved.

She especially wanted to tell these people that the leaders of Beijing Film Studio came to her house to apologize yesterday!
I hope Zhu Lin can return to Beijing Film Studio.

Her brother didn’t even give her a good look.

Of course, the idea of ​​returning to the Beijing Film Studio was also rejected.

“What are you yelling about?” Magachi, who played Baoyu’s father Jia Zheng, came over and asked.

Ah, that’s right.

His real name is Magach.

He is the executive director of the crew and also plays the role of Jia Zheng.

“Director, read the newspaper.” Jiang Ke said.

“Wow, this is big news.”

Magach was delighted and quickly handed the newspaper to Wang Fulin, “Director Wang, take a look!”

The crew’s relationship with the Beijing Film Studio has been a bit strained recently because of Zhu Lin’s incident.

Directors like Magaqi and Wang Fulin are all having a headache because of this issue.

After all, this is in Beijing, and it is inevitable to borrow equipment and land from the Beijing Film Studio when filming.

Now that the apology letter had come out, Wang Fulin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“The matter is finally settled.”

Magach smiled and said, “Hey, those fans scolded the Beijing Film Studio like they were grandsons, so they have to apologize.”

“Alright, alright, don’t let anyone else hear this.” Wang Fulin was in a good mood and called out to Chen Honghai, “Xiao Chen, wipe your face. The previous one didn’t work. Let’s record another one.”

“what?”

Muxidi, at Chen Huangmei’s home.

Chen Huangmei poured Jiang Xian a cup of tea and said, “I have already called the Beijing Film Studio regarding this matter.”

“I know. They went to my house to apologize.” Jiang Xian answered while sitting upright.

“Well, it’s better not to make things too awkward. It’s better to let this matter pass quickly. I hope you can understand the comrades at the Beijing Film Studio. This time, we were a little careless in our approach because we encountered the same theme as Dream of the Red Chamber.”

“I know.”

Jiang Xianxin said he was not making any noise.

If he really wants to make a fuss, he must let the Beijing Film Studio see what a water army is and what a public opinion war is in the Internet age.

The condemnation would probably be ten times more intense than it is now.

“I heard that the Beijing Film Studio wants to invite Zhu Lin to star in their production of ‘Dream of the Red Chamber’ again.” Chen Huangmei said.

“Yes.”

Jiang Xian nodded, “They mentioned this, but I asked Zhu Lin to reject it.”

“Rejected?”

Chen Huangmei looked at him strangely, “Why did you reject it?”

“I’m not optimistic about this movie. I don’t think it’s worth it for Beijing Film Studio to spend so much money to make this movie. Dream of Red Mansions is not suitable for making a movie.”

“Not suitable?”

“Yes, as you know, the movie time is limited, and the content of Dream of Red Mansions is so huge and complicated. The plot develops too quickly, and the foreshadowing of the characters’ emotions and events is definitely not sufficient. When the audience watches it, they will not be able to understand and feel the subtleties in it.”

“Your worries are not unreasonable, but I heard about this from Xie Tieli. He plans to shoot a few more films to try to resolve the awkwardness of the length.” Chen Huangmei said.

“If we make five or six films, the audience will be exhausted to death.” Jiang Xian whispered.

“correct.”

Chen Huangmei suddenly asked, “I remember you published a supplement in People’s Literature?”

“It’s called People’s Digest.”

“It’s going well?”

“good.”

Jiang Xian replied, “It’s been two months since the first issue was published, and it has already sold 35 copies.”

“35 million copies?!”

Chen Huangmei was surprised.

The idea of ​​publishing this publication was discussed within the Writers Association at the time, but the majority of people were supportive.

After all, most of the officials are on the left, and they are very happy to see Jiang Xian playing it safe.

Chen Huangmei smiled and said, “I didn’t expect that you are not only good at writing, but also good at publishing. You should run this publication well. If you need any support from the Writers Association, just let me know.”

“We won’t add burden to the organization.”

Jiang Xian waved his hand with a relaxed look.

“That’s right.”

“The editorial office of the publication is a little far from North Beach Street.”

“I have to ride a bicycle back and forth every day, and I have to go around collecting manuscripts. All my time is spent on the road.”

“It would be much more convenient if the organization could provide me with a car.”
