China Entertainment 1981: Starting from Journey to the West

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
The knocking on the door kept coming, and Gu Bei endured it for a long time, but finally gave in.

There are only three days of vacation in total. Yesterday I was awakened by the sound of firecrackers, and today another debt collector blocked the door.

It's time to chop off that girl's claws.

"Okay, okay, I'm up."

The knocking on the door suddenly stopped, and the faint laughter of several little girls could be heard. You knew who was coming without asking.

Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and this incident may have been planned for a long time.

After getting dressed and opening the door, Gu Nan took the lead, followed by a cool breeze. Ji Peijie behind him was an accomplice. As for Liu Bei, you could tell by looking at her expression that the little girl was forced to come here to make up the number.

"Brother! Happy New Year, I wish you good health and success in your work in the new year, and try to find me a good sister-in-law."

As soon as Gu Nan came in, he threw down the set of words he had prepared.

If those two hands hadn't almost reached into Gu Bei's pockets, he might have been moved.

Snapped!
Gu Nan's hand was knocked off with a slap.

"Not like you."

Gu Nan's face was full of grievance: "It's not like you. I've already given you New Year's greetings. Hurry up, hurry up and get the new year's money."

Gu Nan has been thinking about this matter a few days ago.

She used to have only ten cents as pocket money every day, but since Gu Bei went to work, she could get help from her brother from time to time, and she could always make money, let alone today.

"How old are you, but you still have the nerve to reach out and ask for lucky money."

Even though he said this, the action of picking out his pocket was still very cool.

"Give."

A big five-yuan note was slapped on Gu Nan's hand.

I……

The sugar-coated shells were so lethal that Gu Nan almost couldn't help but explode. Looking at the money in his hand, and then at Gu Bei, he suddenly felt that his brother was really energetic!
"Give it to me?"

It took a long time to get a reward of one dollar from his mother, and Gu Bei paid five dollars.

"How about you bring it back to me?"

Gu Bei said and was about to reach out, but Gu Nan moved faster than him and stuffed the money directly into his pocket.

"If you give it, you can still ask for it back. My brother would never do this."

Okay, no matter how you block people's mouths, this little girl can be regarded as practicing to be as innocent as fire.

"How about you two?"

Gu Bei is now a truly rich man, so he doesn't care about the little money. Five yuan can make his sister happy for several days, so why not do it.

That is to say, he didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble. Otherwise, Gu Bei would have already started to get rich and support his sister.

A little girl should be raised with dignity and respect.

Ji Peijie and Liu Bei were stunned when they saw that Gu Bei had two more five-dollar coins in his hand.

"Brother! Happy New Year!"

Ji Peijie opened his mouth and came, and his "brother" was particularly clear.

After she finished her New Year's greetings, she even pulled Liu Bei, but Liu Bei was not as shameless as her. It was appropriate to pay New Year's greetings, but how could she be embarrassed to take Gu Bei's New Year's money?

"Brother Gu Bei, happy New Year, I..."

She was about to say that she didn't want the new year's money, but Gu Bei didn't wait for her to say anything and directly put the money into her hand.

"Brother Gu Bei, this...this won't work."

"What's wrong!"

Gu Nan said, took Liu Bei's arm and left. She had already thought about the use of the new year's money, so she didn't have the time to stay here any longer.

"Go, go!"

"Nannan, this is not good. I will give you this money, but I don't want it."

"Oh, what I gave you is yours. It's my brother. Isn't it your brother?"

While talking, the three girls had already ran to the front yard.

Gu Bei made the bed with a smile, went to the main room to eat a bowl of dumplings, and then started visiting the front and back yards to pay New Year greetings.

Ma San'er hasn't come back yet, and she doesn't know where she got drunk yesterday.

After all the neighbors in the courtyard finished wishing New Year greetings, Gu Bei rode out again.

The last time he came back from Shaoxing, Gu Bei had been to director Yang Jie's house and still remembered the route.

When you get to the place, lock your bike and go upstairs with your things. There is no reason to come empty-handed during the Chinese New Year.

"I'm coming!"

Teacher Wang Chongqiu's voice came from the room. The door opened and Wang Chongqiu was stunned when he saw it was Gu Bei.

"Little Gu!"

"Teacher Wang, happy New Year!"

"Okay, okay, you too!"

Wang Chongqiu really didn't expect that Gu Bei would come to pay New Year's greetings, so he quickly let him in. At this time, Director Yang Jie also came out of the study, accompanied by a little girl who looked to be about the same age as Gu Nan.

Gu Bei knew that this was Yaya, the youngest daughter of Yang Jie and Wang Chongqiu.

"Director Yang, happy New Year!"

Yang Jie also had the same expression and was stunned for a moment before reacting.

"Oh! Okay, you also... have a happy New Year!"

Seeing Gu Bei, Yang Jie was surprised but also felt very relieved. The fact that Gu Bei wanted to come to pay New Year's greetings meant that they were still in her heart.

"You just went to work and haven't received two months' salary. Come as soon as you come. What else do you need to bring? Remember to bring it with you when you leave later."

This old lady has an upright temperament and a tough temper. She says whatever she wants without turning around. "Director Yang, I just walked in, are you going to kick me out?"

Uh……

Yang Jie was stunned. After thinking about it carefully, she realized that what she just said could easily be misunderstood.

"I don't mean that, Lao Wang, we have guests here and why don't we make tea!"

In one sentence, it shows the family status.

Wang Chongqiu responded with a smile, turned around and went to the kitchen. After a while, all the tea, melon seeds, and fruits were brought out.

"Teacher Wang, please stop working."

"It's okay, you sit down."

Wang Chongqiu pushed Gu Bei back when he was about to stand up.

"I'm not allowed to leave at noon today. I'm just going to eat at home. Director Yang doesn't allow me to drink alone. You're here, so I can break the habit."

After that, he returned to the kitchen happily.

"That's all you have to offer."

Yang Jie muttered something, and then started chatting with Gu Bei. Naturally, the two of them talked about things related to "Journey to the West".

"Lao Yang, it's rare for us to take a break, why can't we put our work aside? If there's anything else, let's talk about it later at work, and let little Gu Song relax."

Wang Chongqiu stood at the door of the kitchen. The apron looked like his exclusive equipment. Judging from the length, if it was tied to Director Yang Jie's body, it could mop the floor.

"Go on your own."

In one word, Wang Chongqiu retreated.

"Xiao Gu, I thought about what you told me about years ago. What you said is indeed reasonable. We must not have the intention of harming others, and we must have the intention of guarding against others. We should keep records. You must keep evidence so that no one will take the opportunity to make trouble later.”

Yang Jie was talking about going out to see the scenery. The time had been set and the route was roughly determined. Before the holiday, Gu Bei found Yang Jie in private and made a suggestion.

It is necessary to keep good records of work during the scene hunting process.

Yang Jie thought it was unnecessary at first, but later after hearing Gu Bei's explanation, she had to pay attention to it.

They were going to many places for filming this time. To this end, the station had specially approved a funding of 4 yuan. If someone takes advantage of this to cause trouble for the Journey to the West crew...

Not to mention anything else, if someone said that they went out to visit the mountains and rivers in the name of sightseeing, then there would be no detailed work records, and even a hundred mouths would not be able to explain it clearly.

Don't think that Gu Bei is unfounded. She knows how many people Yang Jie has offended in Taiwan.

A big project like "Journey to the West" fell on her head as the director of the opera group. There were countless people behind the scenes who were jealous and waiting for eye drops.

Ugh……

This old lady has a temper that can be irritated by anyone in the world. Because of this, she has caused herself countless troubles.

"I'll leave this matter to you. I'll ask Lao Wang to cooperate with you, not only to have written records, but also to have picture records."

"It would be better if it could be like this."

Gu Bei asked, still a little embarrassed.

"Director Yang, am I not judging a gentleman's heart with a villain's heart?"

Yang Jie couldn't help but laugh when she heard this: "To treat a villain, you should judge the villain with a gentleman's heart."

That's right, the old lady is really steel!

After staying for an hour, Gu Bei was about to leave, but Wang Chongqiu refused to let him go, and finally director Yang Jie made the decision.

"Eat as soon as I let you eat."

Uh……

It was hard to refuse such kindness, so Gu Bei was more respectful than obedient.

What surprised him was that Teacher Wang Chongqiu's craftsmanship was really good, at least not comparable to that of Li Sufen.

After having enough wine and food, I looked at the time and it was already almost four o'clock.

Gu Bei drank a little too much, but fortunately the compound where he lived was not far from here, and there were no cars on the road, so there was no safety problem.

"I will sort out the suggestions you just made when I get back. If I have the chance, I will mention them to the leaders of the station."

any suggestion?
Gu Bei was so dizzy at the moment that he had forgotten what he just said.

When I got downstairs, I was hit by the cold wind and woke up instantly. I even remembered what I said.

He just seemed to be...

With the help of wine, I talked in a vernacular and mentioned...

Spring Festival Gala!

There was nothing to do during the New Year's Eve celebration yesterday, so CCTV showed a comedy movie.

When we were drinking, Director Yang Jie was the first to mention the problem that today's TV programs are monotonous and their broadcasts are often limited, and then Gu Bei talked about it.

Especially the Spring Festival Gala.

Is it possible, or did I promote the birth of the Spring Festival Gala?
The first Spring Festival Gala in my memory seems to have been held in 83.

Gu Bei had watched it online in his previous life. The program arrangement was very casual and had a strong local flavor.

There are already enough things to do, but now I have to organize the drinking conversations into materials and hand them in. Isn’t this leisure time?
However, if Gu Bei is left to plan it, maybe the first Spring Festival Gala can be made into a classic and set a benchmark for the rest.

Later, the Spring Festival Gala really became more and more boring. It was just the director team's self-absorption, and people all over the country complained collectively. After watching it, anyone who didn't curse it would feel that something was missing during the New Year.

Although Gu Bei is not a professional, from the audience's perspective, he should still have a say in what the audience wants to see.

Put on your gloves, get on the bike, and the two big union slips from your pocket.

After staring at the money on the ground for a long time, Gu Bei suddenly turned his head and looked upstairs.

When Teacher Wang Chongqiu sent him out just now, it seemed that he stuffed something into his pocket.

This is...

Lucky money!
