China Entertainment 1981: Starting from Journey to the West

Gu Bei was one of the first batch of college students after the resumption of the college entrance examination. In that special era, students were unprecedentedly liberated. Children who had been "oppressed" by their parents and teachers for a long time suddenly had no control and were like wild horses running wild, playing as much as they wanted. Noisy.

What kind of future and what kind of future are not within the scope of their consideration, they only care about tossing.

Gu Bei was very grateful to the original body. All his peers were wasting their precious time wantonly, but after struggling for a while, the original body decisively woke up and started to become a Xiaoyao sect.

I stay at home reading and studying every day. From this point of view, maybe I am also a reborn person, otherwise I would not have the foresight.

Probably because of the influence of Li Sufen, or maybe because although the original person is diligent, his foundation is too poor, but he is very talented in painting.

Finally, I was admitted to Beijing Film Academy and was fortunate enough to be a member of the 78-level Fine Arts Department. I am lucky because the students of this class will basically become the leaders in the Chinese film and television industry in the future.

Zhang Guoshi, Chen Kaige, Tian Zhuangzhuang, not to mention all the stars in the acting department.

When Gu Bei was reborn, he was still in school. As the younger brother next to the future big shots, he witnessed the prime years of those big shots up close.

"Master, I'm here to report. This is a letter of introduction from our school."

The old doorman took the reading glasses and carefully studied the letter of introduction for a long time, and even glanced at Gu Bei.

There are no photos on it, so I don’t know what can be seen.

"Wait a minute!"

The old man was very cold, closed the small window with a snap, and then grabbed the phone.

Not long after, a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties came and took Gu Bei away.

"You came alone?"

Seeing the other party's face full of surprise, Gu Beichao looked around. There was no one else there?
"Come with me! You're only 19. You're young enough. You're about to graduate from college."

The middle-aged man looked at Gu Bei's materials and muttered to himself, seeming to understand something, and looked at them meaningfully for a long time.

Can you say something clearly?
What are you talking about?

Gu Bei was complaining wildly in his heart, but he had to put on a respectful look on his face, just like the new kid brought to him by his unit in his previous life, and he was tremblingly asking for advice.

"Reinstate college students in the year of college entrance examination, right?"

"Yes, teacher, you..."

"There is no need to call me teacher. My surname is Zhang. You can call me Lao Zhang or Comrade Zhang."

Ha ha!Ha ha!
dare not!

"Xiao Gu, the interns from your school have either gone to film studios or returned to their original workplaces. Why are you here at CCTV? This is not a good place."

Your words are too modest.

CCTV!
But what Lao Zhang said is not wrong.

In the past life, CCTV must have been a good unit for people to squeeze in, but now, for these people who came from Beijing Film Academy, claim to be well-known and upright, and are determined to shed their lives and blood for the development of China's film industry. I mean, it's not really a good place to go.

There is also a chain of contempt in the literary and art circles.

Movies are art, television... is just entertainment.

Look, that's all.

In addition, the students in the class of 78 basically all have official employers, or are the children of employees of a certain studio. They urgently joined the job before entering school, and are waiting to return to the original employer after graduation to shine.

In the entire session, there were more than 200 people from all majors combined, and Gu Bei was the only one recommended to be an intern at the TV station.

For this reason, Li Sufen was very dissatisfied. According to her opinion, Gu Bei should have gone to Beijing Film Studio.

There is only one allocation opportunity, and once it is decided, it cannot be changed. The file is transferred together with the recommendation letter.

Dissatisfied?

Then don't report it, you will be automatically removed from the list in three months, and then you are welcome to join the ranks of idle people in society.

Lao Zhang was a warm-hearted man, probably because he saw that Gu Bei was young, so he took care of him. He accompanied him throughout the entire entry process, and also gave Gu Bei a detailed introduction to the basic situation in Taili.

Overall, the future is bright, but... poor.

Yes, CCTV is very poor now, very poor. It has the word "central" on it, but it is not lofty at all.

The annual financial allocation from above is simply not enough to support the station to complete its planned plan. Whenever there is no rice to cook, the station director can only lead a team to go to the Radio, Television and Television Planning and Finance Department to ask for alms.

Gu Bei listened to Lao Zhang's plain talk and didn't dare to talk to him. It was obviously taboo to say this in front of a newcomer like him.

It is not difficult to draw a conclusion from this. Lao Zhang is not only a warm-hearted person, but also a talker.

"We will be a team from now on, work hard, this place... is quite training."

Gu Bei believed it.

Looking at the work ID card in his hand, there is a photo. The big boy on the top is smiling very brightly. Below is his department and division of labor at CCTV, and below is his name.

Literary and Art Department, Art Department, Gu Bei.

I was new here and wanted to show off, but there was no chance. There were only three people in this office, and one of them asked for sick leave. According to Lao Zhang, he didn’t see me after the Qingming Festival. He said he was sick, but in fact he was just waiting at home. Retirement.

"Brother Zhang, who is the leader of our department?"

After running around upstairs and downstairs, the two gradually became familiar with each other, and their title changed from "Teacher Zhang" to "Brother Zhang", which was full of intimacy.

"The original one has been transferred, and the new one has not yet arrived. Now the deputy director is in charge temporarily."

"What do we do every day?"

Lao Zhang looked up at Gu Bei, his eyes looking through the thick lenses as if he was observing a strange species.

Understood.

In his previous life, Gu Bei had worked in government agencies, private companies and state-owned enterprises. In more than 20 years, he had gone from a stupid young man to a human spirit. Now his youthful face can be regarded as a disguise.

Like Lao Zhang, I took a newspaper, poured a cup of tea, and lit a cigarette.Lao Zhang nodded happily, the boy can be taught.

With the three-piece set in hand, I subconsciously calculated in my mind how long it would take until retirement.

Look, this is the fundamental reason why Gu Bei despises this job.

In the early 80s, televisions were not yet popular, and CCTV was not the ratings powerhouse it would become later. It only separated from Beijing TV Station three years ago and went it alone. It wanted money but no one, and it was only used for office work. The broadcasting building is quite impressive.

Gu Bei had a hunch that if he stayed like this for three years, he would not have any ambitions.

There was nothing wrong the whole morning, the newspaper was almost torn by him, the tea cup had been diluted with water several times and it had long since lost its taste, and there was only half a pack of cigarettes left from the neighbor's house.

"Let's go, eat!"

Lao Zhang was very happy. He was originally the only one in this office, but now he finally has company. They chatted happily, and he completely failed to understand the urgency of the times when young people are eager to contribute to the early realization of the four modernizations.

Gu Bei came to the CCTV cafeteria for the first time. It looked very shabby. The only saving grace was that the sanitary conditions were very good. As for the food provided, it was mainly about filling your stomach.

Potatoes, cabbage, and steamed buns were sufficient. The aunt in charge of serving the vegetables probably saw that Gu Bei was young and rarely shook the spoon. She also turned up a big piece of fat meat from the bottom of the basin, which made Lao Zhang at the back exclaim.

As a result, when it was his turn, the aunt was in Parkinson's disease, her hands were shaking, and her rhythm was filled with joy.

"Aunt Zhang, Aunt Zhang, please show mercy, we were one family 500 years ago."

Even trying to find relatives was of no use. There was only one level spoon of food left. Lao Zhang looked dejected, as if he had lost a hundred million.

"Brother Zhang! Here you go, I don't like fat meat."

Gu Bei was telling the truth, but in Lao Zhang's opinion, it was clearly a newcomer in the workplace trying to please his seniors.

These days, people are generally short of fat and water in their stomachs, so fat slices of meat are definitely the most beautiful thing on the dinner plate.

"Xiao Gu, no, no need."

Gu Beike ignored Lao Zhang's objection and insisted on throwing the big piece of white fat meat into the other party's plate.

If you eat this, you will feel nauseous.

snoring snoring.

Not only the two of them, but also everyone else. From time to time, acquaintances of Lao Zhang came over to say hello and get to know new colleagues.

The piece of fat was left until the end. Seeing Lao Zhang carefully putting it in his mouth and chewing it with a look of enjoyment on his face, Gu Bei felt a twinge in his stomach.

"Everyone, stop for a moment. Stop for a moment. I have something to announce."

Gu Bei was about to get up to fill a bowl of porridge when he saw a little old lady walking in. She was not tall and had a curly head of wool. She looked... very familiar.

"I'll read your name later. Go to the conference room on the third floor at 01:30 pm."

When Gu Bei heard this, he stopped paying attention. It was his first day at work, and he hadn't fully acknowledged it yet, so it must be none of his business.

"Zhu Xiaofeng, Wang Chongqiu, Peng Li, Sun Yongsheng, and... Gu Bei, everyone is here. Don't forget it this afternoon!"

After calling her name and giving her instructions again, the little old lady turned around and walked away gracefully.

Gu Bei was dumbfounded and stood there for a long time, and finally looked at Lao Zhang: "Brother Zhang, did you say my name just now?"

Lao Zhang was still thinking about the delicious meal he just swallowed: "If your name is Gu Bei, it must be you."

"I just joined today."

Being called out suddenly, Gu Bei felt a little uneasy. He had indeed experienced many units in his previous life, but he had never been in a TV station!

According to his idea, newcomers who have just joined the company should have an old employee to familiarize themselves with the situation on the stage and understand the work content. Although they do not need to be taught step by step, they should at least let them understand what they should do. .

It will take at least ten days and a half to complete this set.

It turns out that it’s only the first day here, and this is a big responsibility?
"So what? You're lucky, you can learn a lot from Director Yang."

Director Yang?

The little old lady from earlier.

"Brother Zhang, that person just now was..."

"Director Yang Jie is also from our Arts Department. He is in charge of opera. He probably has a new task. Director Yang is used to making decisions on his own. As for you..."

Yang Jie?

The name sounds familiar.

When he combined with the little old lady he just met, his identity became instantly clear.

"Don't worry, I have nothing to do without you. I just run errands and do odd jobs. Important things are not your turn."

Seeing Lao Zhang's secretive smile, Gu Bei gradually understood.

Lao Zhang also said just now that Director Yang Jie is used to choosing his own people, but according to convention, the staff in the stage are dedicated to the leadership, and whoever is selected will be the one.

But Yang Jie, the little old lady, is a naughty and stubborn boss. She always dislikes the people sent by the leadership, so she is willing to choose by herself.

Obviously, Gu Bei, this newbie, was not Yang Jie's general, but was arranged by Taili.

You have all the elite soldiers and generals to choose from. It is only natural to add a new person to train him and help train him in Taili.

When buying cabbage, you have to add some garlic.

Gu Bei was the one who gave it away.

Although he was a partner, Gu Bei was not at all depressed. Instead, he was full of expectations for what was going to happen next.

It seems that the demonic prelude has been heard in my ears.

Thump thump thump thump... thump thump thump thump... thump thump thump thump...
