China Entertainment 1981: Starting from Journey to the West

The name Baihua Depeng was really not unfamiliar to Gu Bei at all.

Who is born in the 80s and doesn’t know how to yell loudly? They don’t dare to ask for directions at midnight for fear of walking deep into the flowers.

In his previous life, Gu Bei also visited this place because of its reputation. He originally thought that this place was full of flowers, but after he actually came there, he realized that there were no flowers at all.

It's just a very ordinary old alley. If it's famous, the recording studio is more famous.

The further inside, the more Gu Bei felt uneasy. He finally found a courtyard with a single house and clear property rights, but the environment here was really not good.

The brick walls on both sides were mottled, the road was bumpy, and there was stagnant water of unknown composition. Gu Bei really couldn't be interested in a dilapidated old house.

The reason why later courtyard houses are so precious is because of the historical atmosphere contained in these old houses after hundreds of years of accumulation.

Otherwise, whoever is full of food will have to spend tens of millions or hundreds of millions to buy a meal of broken bricks and rotten tiles in the capital, where land is at a premium.

Knocking on the door, the landlord was just as Ma San'er said, an old couple who looked like educated people. When it came to selling the house, the old lady was full of reluctance.

But in the end, there was no choice. The girl who lived in Shanghai sent several letters in succession, hoping that the old couple could move in together so that they could take care of them more conveniently and help take care of their grandson.

Originally, I didn't plan to sell the house, but the girl's side was not well-off. After getting married, she had been crowded with the son-in-law's brother and sister-in-law, so she thought of selling the house to help the girl and son-in-law find a home in Shanghai.

They are all debts to children. If parents don’t repay them, they won’t be able to close their eyes at all.

After carefully looking inside and outside, Gu Bei felt unexpectedly happy. The alley was so dilapidated, but this courtyard house was well preserved.

The screen wall at the entrance is not damaged at all, unlike the three-in-one courtyard where Gu Bei lives now. The head of the crane on the screen wall has been torn off by some naughty child.

The subsequent price negotiation went smoothly. The old man gave a very conscientious price of 7000 yuan, and all the furniture in the house was returned to Gu Bei.

The price of a first-class courtyard house is not cheap, but such a well-preserved courtyard house is indeed very rare in the capital.

Gu Bei didn't show any pretense and simply skipped the price setting, urging the old couple to hurry up and go through the transfer procedures.

What surprised Gu Bei even more was the efficiency of government departments these days.

After filling out the two application forms, he started to register Gu Bei's personal information. After stamping two big stamps, Gu Bei paid one yuan and two cents and successfully obtained the house book.

This speed is so fast...

Gu Bei even felt that it was more bizarre than his rebirth.

What are the various proofs required?
What about the various procedures that make people break their legs?
Ok!

Holding the house book in hand, Gu Bei still felt that it was not quite real when he came out of the housing management bureau.

From now on, he is also a homeowner.

"Third brother, I have to go to work in the afternoon, so I won't treat your friend to dinner."

As he said that, Gu Bei took out the envelope he had prepared when he went out in the morning. There was 500 yuan in it.

When things went smoothly, Gu Bei naturally couldn't be stingy anymore.

What's more important is that he has to count on that man to continue looking for houses for him in the future.

It would be a pity not to get a few more sets after rebirth.

"Xiao Bei, you have too much."

Ma Saner pinched the thickness of the envelope and had a clue in his mind.

"Not much. Third brother, tell your friend that if he finds out about a suitable house, he can say hello at any time. There will be many benefits."

Gu Bei had already said this, what else could Ma San'er say, and he gave Gu Bei a thumbs up.

"Brother, this is such a bad situation."

After putting away the house books, Gu Bei was ready to go to work. He couldn't close the house today. Things were done so fast that neither the old couple had time to clean up.

When will I book my train ticket and set off for Shanghai? I'll notify Ma Gan'er and I'll take possession of the room and hand over the keys.

As for whether the old couple would take the opportunity to move the things in the house, Gu Bei didn't care. He had seen all the furniture. It was indeed quite old, but there was no good wood. He didn't feel bad if they all moved it out. On the contrary, it was a waste of time. He's in trouble.

After sending Gu Bei away, Ma San'er took out the envelope and patted Ma Gan'er's hand.

"Take it, I'll let you copy it this time."

Ma Gan'er felt the thickness and was immediately elated. He thought that after the business was completed, it would be good to earn dozens of dollars in benefits. He didn't expect that Gu Bei would be so generous and spend several hundred dollars.

"Third brother, tell me the truth. Where did that kid come from? He paid 7000 yuan. He didn't even bother to pay or bargain. He just bought it. He's still young, but he's such a big deal."

Ma San'er chuckled, pretending to be mysterious and said: "If you shouldn't ask, don't ask blindly. My buddy just told me that if you continue to visit houses like this, you will definitely get the benefits by then. I understand." ?"

When Ma Gan'er heard this, he laughed so much that the corners of his mouth almost split to the back of his head.

"understand!"

He thought it was a one-time deal, but he didn't expect that he actually met a big business owner. Things were going downhill, and one deal could earn a worker in a large factory for a year. If he could negotiate a few more deals... that wouldn't be the case. Soaring on the spot!
"However, I remind you, don't just think about making money or causing trouble for my buddy."

Ma San'er gave a timely reminder.

Although he didn't know much about it, he knew a few things. There were really not many courtyard houses in the capital, like this set of single-family courtyards in Baihua Deep Hutong, that were well preserved and most importantly, had clear property rights.

There are better troubles inside.

If Ma Gan'er only thinks about making money and creates a messy yard to cause trouble for Gu Bei, Ma San'er won't be able to pass this test.

He had really seen Gu Bei's strength today, and he expected to make a fortune with this little brother.

"Don't worry, you still don't know who I am, right? It's all about rules. Your buddy is so angry, how can I deceive others?"

As Ma Gan'er said, he put the envelope into his pocket without leaving any trace.

"What's the matter, Lao San, you introduced such a good deal and let me make a fortune. Just go ahead and eat the duck in the cheap shop."

Ma San'er smiled and said: "If you don't tell me, do you think you can still run away? This meal should be yours."

"Let's go!"

Ma Gan'er had made a lot of money and was in a good mood. Not to mention eating duck in the cheap shop, even eating bad fish fillets in Fengze Garden was not a problem.

"By the way, there's one more thing. I recently hooked up with a little devil and went all over the world to pick up old objects. How about it? You can also make a fortune."

Ma San'er was moved when he heard this, but he still held it back.

Li Suhua will be able to reply to the letter soon. He may want to go south at any time. At this time, it is better not to cause trouble.

His own family knows his own affairs, and he collected the rags. If he really met an expert, he would be in trouble.

"Put it down, buddy, I don't want to make a living playing the drums anymore."

"Yo! Listening to your tone, is there any other way?"

Ma Gan'er said, blinking his little eyes.

"Let me guess, is it related to the person just now?"

"Don't ask, I won't tell you if you ask. I said I'm going to Bianyifang, why don't you go?"

Seeing that Ma San'er didn't say anything, Ma Gan'er was also very itchy. Although he made a lot of money today, a big spender like Gu Bei wouldn't be able to meet anyone in three to five years!

Ma Gan'er, like Ma San'er, didn't have a serious job, so he earned a living by bumping around here and there.

If there is really a good career, who wouldn't be tempted!
"Let's go! Let's talk while we eat!"

Obviously, Ma Gan'er was not going to give up. After seeing Gu Bei's generosity just now, he was convinced. If possible, he would also like to have a hand in Ma San'er's new business.

As for Gu Bei, when he returned to Taili, his lunch break was over. Before he could take a drink of water, Peng Li called him to go to the third floor for a meeting.

The experience group has basically been finalized, and Yang Jie has handed over all the remaining casting work to deputy director Zhu Xiaofeng, who is mainly responsible for adapting the script.

The opinion letter written by Gu Bei that day finally reached the hands of station director Wang Feng through Ruan Ruolin. Originally, he wanted to put the work on the Westward Journey preparatory team aside, but after reading the opinion letter, Wang Feng also changed his mind.

When it was originally decided to adapt "Dream of Red Mansions" and "Journey to the West", although it was not explicitly stated, those who knew the inside story knew that the focus of the film was on "Dream of Red Mansions".

Regarding "Journey to the West", from the director down to him, everyone has a free-spirited attitude.

Yang Jie can lead people to do whatever they want, and they will just see the result in the end.

I just didn't expect that Yang Jie would move so quickly. First, she asked Hong Minsheng, who was in charge of the literary and art department, for funding. Then she went to casting, then makeup, and now even script adaptation is on the agenda.

This……

too fast!

Just when he was about to press it, Ruan Ruolin handed over the opinion letter written by Gu Bei. After reading it, Wang Feng immediately decided that the focus of the work on the stage would be tilted towards the crew of "Journey to the West".

Now that I have thought about it so well, I feel full and full and still press down.

Everyone worked hard.

During this period, Wang Feng, the director of the station, was under a lot of pressure. Although his superiors were silent, they were all waiting for him to produce results.

The support from the station leaders was not just verbal. Before getting off work in the afternoon, Ruan Ruolin came to the preparation team and announced in front of everyone that the funds for the filming team of the "Journey to the West" crew would be increased from [-] to [-]. , and there is no need to wait for next year’s financial allocation.

In addition, the Taiwanese leadership also issued a fatal order. In the middle of next year, the crew of "Journey to the West" will complete the filming and production of one episode.

Now, not only Yang Jie, but also other members of the preparatory team felt that the burden on their shoulders was a little heavier.

The Taiwan leader’s trick was to put a tight curse on everyone in the preparatory team. They gave money first, which was considered a sweet date, and then immediately issued orders and assigned tasks, which could not be questioned.

"Everyone, tell me!"
