Chapter 43(1/2)
"That's all today, Xiao Gu, go back and sort out the main content we have talked about in the meeting these days, and leave it to me tomorrow."
It was another day of research. When everyone discussed it together, they didn’t feel that after a while, everyone had a sore back and aches.
It's really awesome to sit and stay still for a long time like this.
After sorting out personal belongings, Gu Bei returned to the office, and Li Chengru also accompanied him. He is a non-staff member of CCTV and has no place to stay. It just so happened that Gu Bei and Lao Zhang still have an available seat in the office. The man only heard about it.
His colleague who had not seen him retired by the end of the year, and Li Chengru simply worked here temporarily.
Gu Bei has been to CCTV for almost three months, and it has been 1982, and it is almost time to come.
According to director Yang Jie's plan, after the New Year, the crew of "Journey to the West" will be officially busy.
The filming, casting, and makeup will all end in the first half of the year, and then it will officially start in July. It sounds like there is still plenty of time, but "Journey to the West" was named in the heart of the leader, as next year
No one dares to slack off on CCTV’s key projects.
"Xiao Gu, aren't you getting off work yet? What time is it?"
Li Chengru packed up his things and was about to leave when he saw Gu Bei sitting at his desk, spreading out the manuscript paper, writing and painting on it.
"There is no quiet here at home. I will sort out the minutes of the meeting first. Director Yang will report on his work at the group leader meeting of the Literature and Art Department tomorrow morning."
As the focus of the work of the Taiwan Department, Yang Jie has to report the preparation progress of "Journey to the West" at the group leader meeting every day. Things like sorting out materials should have been done by the deputy director Zhu Xiaofeng.
But Director Zhu is busy adapting the script. Since Yang Jie read Gu Bei's proposal last time, she felt that his copywriting skills were good, so she handed over this work to him.
After hearing what Gu Bei said, Li Chengru simply stopped leaving and pulled out his chair and sat next to the heating.
He also has troubles. As he gets older, his old mother talks in his ears all day long. He feels upset when he talks too much.
It is a matter of urging marriage to be urged to be of no age.
Children want to start a career first, and parents hope to get married soon, which is natural in opposition.
"Xiao Gu, I heard that last time we went to Beijing Film Academy to watch the graduation show, and later Zhu Lin gave you her contact information?"
Gu Bei didn't raise his head. He could guess what the old guy wanted to say when he heard Li Chengru's tone.
"Well, what's wrong?"
hehe!
Li Chengru smiled embarrassedly: "No, I'm just... quite curious. When I was in the training class, Zhu Lin... How did you say that? It doesn't feel so close to people. I don't usually talk to others.
.”
I guess you don't talk much, right?
Gu Bei later met Zhu Lin again. He went to Beijing Film Studio to find Teacher Wang Xizhong. Zhu Lin was filming a drama at Beijing Film Studio, and the two of them had lunch together.
After getting in touch with a little more, Gu Bei also realized that Zhu Lin was cheerful, but he also divided his people.
When you meet someone who is tempted, you like to talk and laugh.
"What do you want to say? You won't be still trying to pay attention to Zhu Lin, you're going to get married."
Well……
Li Chengru blushed: "What are you talking nonsense? I want to remind you."
"You should just pull it down, Zhu Lin and I are friends."
After saying that, Gu Bei felt that this sentence was redundant and there was something to explain.
The pure one will be clear.
To put it clearly, Zhu Lin, or the king of the Kingdom of Women, she played was the white moonlight in Gu Bei's childhood in his previous life.
After being reborn, I did have thoughts, but it was just a whim.
Even if Zhu Lin is not married, the two of them do not have the age difference of ten years old. Do they have to have something to do with each other?
In terms of emotions, we must pay attention to fate.
He and Zhu Lin are not destined to be together, so it’s great to be an ordinary friend.
Seeing that Li Chengru was planning to say something, Gu Bei stopped him back.
"Brother Li, if you have a good idea, it's better to think about your work. After the Chinese New Year, we will have to set out to take pictures in March. How to arrange it is all your duty."
The general route has been decided by Yang Jie, and some places she wants to go have been determined long ago, but Yang Jie has left all the way to Li Chengru to take charge of how to arrange the itinerary.
There is only so much funding, including food, clothing, housing and transportation along the way. How to design the itinerary to save time and effort, and the most important thing is to save money, it depends on Li Chengru's ability.
"It's okay if you don't say this, but my head hurts when I mention it. Do you have time now? Look at this."
After Li Chengru finished speaking, regardless of whether Gu Bei had free time, he took out a map and spread it on the table.
"Director Yang decided to set off from the capital in early March, first to Nanjing, then Yangzhou, Yixing, Huangshan, Anhui, Jiuhuashan, Hangzhou, Ningbo, Zhejiang, Hangzhou..."
While saying that Li Chengru's fingers were sliding on the map, there were several places, and he also made special notes, which were necessary to go in Yang Jie's plan.
For example, Shanjuan Cave in Yixing, Yaolin Fairyland in Hangzhou, Tiantong Temple in Ningbo, Kaiyuan Temple in Quanzhou, Nanputuo in Xiamen, Nanshan Temple in Zhangzhou, etc.
"Did you see it? This is only halfway, I have one more picture here."
The filming plan, Director Yang Jie said during a meeting before that the general plan is to go to the southeast first, then to the southwest, set off in March and end in early May.
Since we have set the goal of "you", we need to search carefully where the scene selection of each episode is. Only by finding the location can we set the shooting plan for the subsequent filming.
Nowadays, unlike later, film and television bases bloom everywhere. No matter what kind of scenery and buildings of the era, they can be found in various film and television bases.
The situation now is that there is nothing.
The story of "Journey to the West" spans many provinces from the Tang Dynasty to India, requiring various scenery. When going out to pick scenery, you need to remember all the plots in your mind, especially those very special places.
For example, Huaguo Mountain, Water Curtain Cave, and Xiao Leiyin Temple and White Bone Cave.
The entire preparatory team, including director Yang Jie, was not sure where to find a suitable location, and could only draw up a general route based on the content in the story.
This route is not based on the real route that Tang Monk took back then, because after all, it is not filming the "Biography of Xuanzang", but rather the most beautiful, known, unknown famous mountains and rivers in the country from north to south, from east to west.
The Buddha's temples and scenic spots are all included.
I only have two months to go through all these places, time is tight, and the most important thing is...
"Just that little funding, Xiao Gu, tell me, this... is so difficult."
Time can be overcome, so it’s just that everyone is working hard, but it’s really a bit difficult to deal with without spending money.
You can save food and live in a simple way, but how can you save travel expenses?
I walked down with my legs, and I couldn't even walk for three or five years without a single person.
Gu Bei looked at Li Chengru with a sad look and knew that the meeting summary could not be written.
"Brother Li, it's useless to complain to me! It's up to man to do something, and there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain."
This is also a comforting word?
"It's not that you complain, the difficulties are there, and you can overcome everything else. How can you overcome it if you don't have enough money? You can't go halfway and lose money. A bunch of people are trapped in the local area, right?"
hehe!
This is a solution.
If you really have no money and are trapped in a certain place, you can't ignore it, right?
At least the travel expenses back to the capital must be remitted.
"What's the use of being anxious now? Follow Director Yang's route and study it carefully to see where there is no need to go. Delete it appropriately. The money is what Director Yang wants to get, and she still has no idea how much she has.
.”
Gu Bei said, tidying up all the things on the table and putting them in his bag. When he got home tonight, he had to continue working overtime again.
"Let's go! It's all this, find a place outside to eat and go home!"
"Do you please?"
Hey, this thief.
After leaving the unit, the whistling northwest wind almost pushed the two of them, wrapped their clothes tightly, and moved them step by step to the car shed. The car could not ride, so they could only push them away.
Fortunately, there were many small shops nearby, including state-owned and individual ones. The two of them found a family with lights on, so they broke in.
call……
The wind was so hard that both of them were almost silly.
Just after dinner, there were no customers in the store. There was only an old man who responded at the counter. Seeing the two of them coming in, he hurried forward and saw that the service attitude was not a state-owned store.
If it is really state-owned, who cares about you?
And after dinner, it’s still a mess, so it’s good not to drive people out.
"What are you eating?"
Gu Beichao took a look at the water sign on the wall and found that there was nothing new, including dumplings, noodles, and various seasonal side dishes.
One person ordered half a pound of dumplings, a plate of peanuts, and a plate of meat peeled jelly.
Pay the money and pay the food coupon.
