Later, Chen Qi discovered another one. He looked to be in his teens, and he didn't seem to be very gregarious. He was practicing boxing alone. He looked good, but he was a bit cold. "Coach Wu, who is that?" "Oh, he is an American overseas Chinese who likes martial arts. His mother sent him to study last year. This kid speaks Mandarin poorly. He doesn't usually communicate with others. He practices by himself. His name is Zhen Zidan." "how old is he?" "16 years old!" Chen Qi looked at Zhen Zidan and then at Li Lianjie, and the scene of Huang Feihong fighting Nalan Yuanshu naturally appeared in his mind. Unfortunately, both of them were too young, with immature temperaments, and the roles they could play were limited. Zhang Xinyan finally finished talking, and Wu Bin led a few people to leave. As soon as they took off, a group of team members surrounded Li Lian and asked all kinds of questions. "Who are those people? What do they want from you?"
"Directors from Hong Kong should ask me to make movies!" "Wow, let's make a movie!" "That's great. Movies are my favorite, and I want to make them too." "Don't think about it, the team won't agree." Li Lianjie joined the martial arts team at the age of 11, visited dozens of countries, performed martial arts for Nixon, shook hands with Kissinger, and was received by senior leaders. He was someone who had seen the world seriously, not a kid who didn't understand anything. . He scratched his head and laughed. In fact, he had already been ready to make a move. Of course, making a movie would be better than being in a martial arts team! Zhen Zidan was alone in the distance, looking here with envy, and heard a few words in his ears, "Making a movie?" I want to make a movie too! "Okay, okay, stop talking about it!" "Keep training!" Wang Qun, the captain of the men's team, and Ge Chunyan, the captain of the women's team, came out to maintain order and urged the junior brothers and sisters to work hard. In fact, they were also yearning for it in their hearts. Wang Qun later acted in "The Thirteen Sisters of Chivalry", "The Golden Dart Huang Tianba", "The Invincible Mandarin Duck Legs", "Tai Chi Master", "Young Zhang Sanfeng" and so on. He was very skilled and had a good image. Unfortunately, he died of illness at the age of 48. Ge Chunyan acted in "Martial Arts Chronicles", "Big Sword King Five" and "The Female General of the Yang Family", and later went to Singapore to open a martial arts school. In short, Zhang Xinyan's arrival has planted a seed in the hearts of these young people. These days, occupations are basically fixed. Farmers are farmers, workers are workers, and athletes are athletes. Cross-industry is regarded as improper performance. But there are two ways to change your solidified class, one is literature, and the other is film and television. ………… "Dead brain! Old ideas!" "Movies are such a good medium to promote traditional martial arts, but they are regarded as a scourge, which is unreasonable!" An hour later, Zhang Xinyan came out of the sports school, cursing openly and furious. He broke it up, crushed it into pieces, and told it to the leader of the sports school. The other party refused to agree, and his attitude was a bit contemptuous. It probably meant: We are all national champions, and we are visiting the United States and Japan. What does it mean for you to make a movie? ?
"Don't be angry, this is normal." Chen Qi advised from the side and said: "Li Lianjie can win five gold medals alone. He is a treasure everywhere. He is linked to the martial arts team, and the martial arts team is linked to the Municipal Sports Committee. Without him, a large chunk of achievements will be missing. No one dares to take responsibility. You should still find a way to meet Mr. Liao and ask him to come forward to the National Sports Commission. The National Sports Commission spoke and the martial arts team was released. Otherwise, even if you go to some places to find actors, they still won’t agree. " "Well, that's the truth!" Zhang Xinyan nodded and said with a smile: "Xiao Chen, at such a young age, are you still very understanding of the world?" "It's all taught by the old factory director. How do I understand the twists and turns here?" "Ha, you're humble again!" Zhang Xinyan spent a few days with him and was very satisfied with his performance. "Shaolin Temple" has two screenwriters who have already set up the big picture. Chen Qi mainly provides advice on emotional scenes. One mention is accurate! For example, the Shaolin Temple is a pure place for Buddhism. How can the male protagonist and the female protagonist hang out together all day long? Chen Qi said that it would be enough to set the heroine to be herding sheep at the foot of the mountain! Alas, the problem that had troubled Zhang Xinyan for a long time was solved in no time. He didn't want to get too involved in "Shaolin Temple" and just name the screenwriter, because the cycle of "Shaolin Temple" was too long. It started filming in 1979 and was not released until 1982. Zhang Xinyan spent half a year selecting actors. After the selection, the actors were centralized in Zhengzhou for unified training. It took more than half a year to start shooting, and then the filming lasted another year... In this time, Chen Qi was able to save two movies. . What's more, since his foreign film is also about martial arts, he might have to compete with "Shaolin Temple" for actors! … Chen Qi followed Zhang Xinyan back to Beijing Film Studio. As soon as he reached the door, the receptionist stopped him and said, "Boy, you are finally back. Comrade the postman has been here several times." "Are you Chen Qi? There is a package for you and a withdrawal notice. You need to sign it." "I'm really sorry, I have something to do today, thank you, thank you!" "It doesn't matter, you are still remitting money from Hong Kong, and you will earn more foreign exchange for the country in the future!" The postman's red heart shone brightly as he rode away. Chen Qi pushed away the gossiping uncle, hurried back to the guest house with the mail, closed the door, and opened the package first. Sure enough, it was a thick pile of information. Then he looked at the withdrawal notice and caught sight of the word "Great Wall". This is the royalties for "Kapok Kasaya"! He was a little excited, no less than the time of "Lush Mountain Love". Although Hong Kong movies don't pay much attention to the script, once it is selected, the remuneration is definitely higher than that of the mainland. The current market price there is usually 10,000-30,000 Hong Kong dollars. If you hire a famous artist, it may be 50,000. He is a newcomer, a leftist and poor, so it is almost... "10,000 Hong Kong dollars!" Chen Qi couldn't help jumping twice, guessing it right.
He especially enjoys this feeling of starting from scratch and making money bit by bit, which is very, very fulfilling. The average exchange rate in 1979 was about 100 Hong Kong dollars = RMB, which is just over 3,000 yuan. He is one step closer to a millionaire! He couldn't sit still for a moment, got on the car and drove back to Qianmen in a flash, first went to the street to find Aunt Wang to get a certificate, then went home to get the household registration booklet, and went straight to the bank. These days, when you remit money, you are sent a slip first, and you take the slip to the bank to collect it. Chen Qi walked to a window, took out various documents from his bag, and said, "Hello, comrade, I'm going to withdraw money!" "Please wait a moment!" The staff took the receipt and took a look, and was shocked. The remitter was from Hong Kong, which was nothing. The key was the amount, which was clearly written as "10,000 Hong Kong dollars"! Hong Kong compatriots remitted money to relatives and friends in the mainland, but it was only a few hundred yuan. How could there be 10,000 Hong Kong dollars? She immediately became alert and asked, "Comrade, what is this money?" "Manuscript fee!" "Manuscript fee?" She became more and more confused. "I wrote a script for a Hong Kong company. The remittance of my manuscript fee was written as Great Wall, wasn't it?" "What is your job?" "I'm from the Qianmen Tea Cooperative, selling big bowls of tea. I have a certificate issued by the street." Those who sell big bowls of tea can earn foreign exchange. It's amazing that they have changed their business! The staff was still not sure, so they called the leader over. The two of them whispered a few words, glancing at Chen Qi from time to time, and then called him to a small room, smiling and asking him not to worry. Emmmm! Chen Qi was speechless. Another anti-enemy spy? Sure enough, another guy came behind. He looked difficult to deal with. He asked a lot of questions, but in the end he didn't say anything and kept him waiting. Just when he was getting impatient, Jiang Huaiyan came in. "Director Jiang, why are you here?" "Since you have found the Beijing Film Studio, I must testify for you. We were all shocked and wondered what you had done wrong. It turned out to be because of the royalties." At this time, the relevant staff of the bank also came over and said with a smile: "Little comrade, thank you for your cooperation. I hope you can understand." "It's okay, I won't go through this next time I come, right?" "No, no, everything is clear." "Do I have a remittance voucher?" Chen Qi was concerned about this. "Uh..." The other party was also very sorry and said: "To be honest, your situation is very special. Although the money came from Hong Kong, they are Chinese-funded enterprises. We have studied the provisions and this situation does not count as overseas remittances. I hope you don't mind." Just after he finished speaking, another person suggested: "Don't be discouraged. You can write scripts at such a young age. You can be bolder! Submit your works overseas and earn US dollars and pounds. If you remit money at that time, you will definitely have overseas remittance coupons!"
Someone else also joined in: "Yes, yes, in the past, overseas remittances were used to support the family, build houses, and get married. It is really rare to earn royalties. If you have this ability, wouldn't it be great to earn more foreign exchange for the country?" "I am afraid I can't afford such kindness from you all!" "I can afford it, young and handsome, who else can do it but you?!!" Chen Qi, who has always given others emotional value, inexplicably received a lot of flattery, and it has to be a comrade in finance. Thoughts are liberated, which further confirms a fact. "Foreign exchange is indeed the father!" (No more...)
