Return To 1977 Chapter 880: The situation

lnmao.org, the fastest update to return to the latest chapter of 1977!

It should be said that it is precisely because of understanding the importance of people.

Hong Yanwu is like a "land master" who responds to requests and is willing to help most people he knows around him.

On the surface, he seems a bit stupid, a bit like a good guy, and he has to take care of everyone's business.

But he actually took advantage of it.

Because when he helps people, he first follows the principle of "helping the urgent but not the poor, and helping the poor but not the lazy".

If he doesn't work hard himself, he won't help people who are not worthy of his help.

Secondly, he doesn't do everything.

The price must be within his tolerance, and it is mostly material payment.

In this way, he is equivalent to using his extra things to make an emotional investment.

In the future, there is no telling when someone will return a favor to him, which will be of great help to him.

Think about it, without the kind reminder from He Jiefu's daughter, he would have been able to avoid this thunder.

Maybe on the cusp of this storm, I will get caught up in it.

Thanks to him knowing how powerful this year is, it really became a big joke.

What if we don’t have the knowledge of ancient architecture from Mr. Shan?

How could he be so sure that "Qingyun Tower" was worth buying?

Maybe just give up and focus on something else.

In fact, even the good popularity among the neighbors is the same.

Not to mention Bian Jiangong, Su Jin and Su Xiu all helped him.

Without the praise of his neighbors, how could he, who has always been a subject of strict control and prevention by the police station, live so freely?

There is also a "storm" that is destined to blow up this year. The police station also arrests people based on the information and opinions provided by the streets.

If he was not sure that his neighbors would speak well of him, how could he be sure that he would be able to survive this "dead year" safely?

So, this kind of thing is a great deal, and only a fool would refuse it.

What’s interesting is that, precisely because of the uniqueness of history, the people across the country have just reached the food and clothing line.

In today's social stage, people's emotions, like antiques, calligraphy and painting courtyards and other good things, have fallen into a deep valley of value.

If you want to use money to invest in love, the price is sometimes outrageously low.

Even this is not just for ordinary people, even the social elite cannot escape from this law.

Because the country's overall economy lags behind, they will also have their self-esteem seriously hurt because of some small economic matters.

That was naturally a good investment opportunity for Hong Yanwu.

At this point, he has a good grasp of it. Once he encounters it, he will grasp it firmly and never miss it.

For example, in July, many newspapers published news that Hong Kong director Li Hanxiang came to Beijing to film "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace".

Hong Yanwu started thinking about product placement again.

So I went to "Hongye" to ask for help from my connections, hoping to find a chance to meet Director Li.

For no other reason than to have a few scenes of the Hong family boss in this movie, if the deal can really be concluded, that would be awesome.

It is equivalent to promoting one's own business overseas.

You must know that this movie has generated a box office of 150 million in Hong Kong, and is also a hot seller in Southeast Asian countries. He is willing to spend any amount of advertising money.

He would be happy with anything from one hundred to eighty thousand.

Because in the future, as long as the old shops reopen, I am afraid that they will not be “captured” by foreigners.

For this reason, Hong Yanwu even took photos of several pieces of Qingguan kiln porcelain, intending to bribe Director Li to suit his needs.

I just didn’t expect that even the person asking for help had already said hello in advance.

On a day off, I specially chartered a car and finally found the filming location in Changping. I did meet the tall and powerful Director Li with small eyes during lunch time.

But the matter did not come to fruition.

Because firstly, the film is already halfway through filming, and the location has been set up at a cost of 640,000 yuan. There is no shortage of funds at all.

Secondly, Hong Yanwu is from Mainland China, so he just said that he was willing to pay for a few lenses and asked for a price. How could Director Li believe that he had this ability.

Third, this movie is a co-production, and the script and footage must be reviewed by the relevant mainland authorities. No matter how much money Hong Yanwu is willing to pay, it is not worth the loss to walk through the scenes for a few more scenes.

Fourthly, the Burning of the Old Summer Palace is almost entirely a palace drama, and the parts involving the people include a few scenes of Sushun being captured at night, and the common people listening to the sound of horse hooves at night. It is also difficult to insert scenes of Hong Yanwu's needs into it.

So it’s useless no matter what you say.

After hearing his intention, Director Li refused without hesitation.

However, Li Hanxiang was quite interested in the photos provided by Hong Yanwu.

Although the matter was not settled, I proposed to him my intention to purchase these pieces of porcelain.

It's a pity that he doesn't know that Hong Yanwu values ​​these things more than he does.

You can give him away if things work out, but since it doesn't work out, selling him would be a fool's errand.

So he refused decisively, and instead suggested that if Director Li had any antique calligraphy and painting furniture that he didn't want, he could sell it to him. The price was not an issue.

Because of this, he really aroused Li Hanxiang's interest, and the two chatted for a while specifically about these articles.

As a result, because of this delay, there was suddenly a chaos outside and people were shouting. Hong Yanwu encountered the biggest gain of the day.

What's going on?

Hong Yanwu and Li Hanxiang walked out together and found out that there was a commotion outside due to members of the mainland crew who were dissatisfied with the lunch.

The leader is Liu Xiaoqin, who plays the role of the Queen Mother.

The triggering point of the conflict is the most troublesome part of the co-production.

Due to the crew members being from Hong Kong and Mainland China, and the restrictions of the system at that time.

Not only do people in the two places have completely different incomes, but they also implement one country, two systems in terms of living standards and food benefits.

For example, Liang Jiahui, who played Emperor Xianfeng, had not yet appeared in any movies at the time.

But because he is from Hong Kong, he is paid well and has a separate room to rest.

As for the protagonists, Liu Xiaoqin of the Beijing Film Studio and Chen Ye of the Shanghai Film Studio, who have long been famous as the "Two Empress Dowagers", only received dead wages of 50 yuan and 47 yuan. They had to live on the ground in the crew's room.

The difference in the filming scene is also not small.

The Mainland actors and staff only have two steamed buns, one rice sausage, and one black pickle per meal.

The dining cart brought by actors and staff from Hong Kong was filled with big fish, meat, vegetables and fragrant white rice.

Think about it, two minutes ago they were all acting together, and two minutes later one was in the sky and the other was on the ground.

How can we not make people feel resentful?

Especially Liu Xiaoqin, a Sichuan girl who is not used to eating steamed buns and is often so hungry that she becomes dizzy on set.

It happened that the drama staff was negligent again. Many of the steamed buns handed out today were already rancid. How could this make her not angry?

So this big star, who has a fierce personality and is always known for being bold and independent in his own way, became anxious.

This time, he didn't want to swallow his anger anymore, so he started making trouble together with several mainland staff who also received steamed buns.

After figuring out the situation, Li Hanxiang also felt that it was too much.

Because no matter what, actors cannot be allowed to eat spoiled food.

It’s really bad. Let alone not being able to film, who cares if someone loses his life?

So we quickly held accountable.

When he found out that he didn’t buy enough new steamed buns today and had to use some of yesterday’s leftover steamed buns to make up the amount, he gave the person in charge a good scolding. And asked him to admit his mistake and apologize to everyone in public.

Then they coordinated and asked the people who had received the steamed buns to go to the Hong Kong people's cars to receive the meals.

And she also specifically told Liu Xiaoqin that she and Chen Ye could always have meals with Hong Kong personnel from now on.

But at this time, Liu Xiaoqin showed that she was different from others.

She actually refused to be alone. Instead, he failed to live up to his good intentions and asked Director Li on the spot.

Except for her and Chen Ye, what should everyone do?

This gives Director Li a headache.

You must know that this problem of unequal pay and treatment for equal work has long existed, but it involves political reasons, which cannot be changed by him simply.

He can decide and arrange the needs of the two leading actors, but there are so many mainland actors who want to be taken care of, but it is not within his ability.

There are too many aspects to worry about.

As it turned out, it was at this stalemate that Hong Yanwu seized the opportunity and spoke.

He asked Director Li if it would be okay for me to find someone to deliver working meals to us fellow villagers starting from tomorrow.

Until you finish filming, I can find someone to deliver food to them, and it will be all the mainland crew members.

It is guaranteed to have fish, meat, vegetables and fruits, and it will definitely not be worse than Hong Kong standards. All free and sponsored by me personally.

This suggestion is really good. If it can be done like this, it will naturally solve all the problems.

But at that time, even Li Hanxiang and Liu Xiaoqin were stunned. For a long time, they couldn't believe that Hong Yanwu was willing to do such a thankless task.

Of all the mainland staff, there are about forty or fifty people in total.

Besides, they are all curious, why is this?

Unexpectedly, Hong Yanwu said something very nice. First, he claimed that he was a fan of Liu Xiaoqin, and second, he claimed that since Liu Xiaoqin was an actor at Beijing Film Studio, she could be considered half of his fellow countryman.

Since he has this ability, he cannot let his favorite celebrities and his family suffer.

In addition, because of Liu Xiaoqin's "situational anger", he, a man, cannot let a woman compete with him.

At this moment, "Red Leaf" also interrupted.

He introduced himself to Liu Xiaoqin and said that I was also from Beijing Film Studio and worked in drama management.

He also vouched for Hong Yanwu, saying that if he had the financial ability, he would definitely be able to do what he said and there would be nothing to worry about.

Everyone is happy and this problem is finally solved.

Li Hanxiang breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that the progress of the film would not be delayed.

And Liu Xiaoqin is good at face. Since he had all the benefits inside and outside, he naturally laughed and thanked Hong Yanwu again and again.

As for what Hong Yanwu gained from this, apart from the sincere gratitude of one of the most popular female stars in the country at the time, she became a friend.

As a result, Li Hanxiang really gained attention in his heart. The director not only agreed to consider the opportunity to put the Hong family's old name into the movie, but was also willing to have more discussions and exchanges with him in the field of calligraphy and painting.

As for two months later, when the film was finished, Hong Yanwu even got over his addiction to returning to the emperor.

He really put on Leung Ka-fai's costume and took several group photos with the two queens on the left and right.

And all of this is actually just ten thousand yuan in food expenses.

If anyone can really calculate the value-added and realization ratio generated from it, they will know that this transaction is far sweeter than the transaction of buying Qingyun Building.
