Since 1983

Many people have been carried on Xu Fei's bicycle, Daiyu, Baochai, Baoyu, Liu Xianglian, Chen Xiaoqiao, and today it is finally the turn of the aunt.

The aunt is very important, and when she sits on the back, she feels flickering, and the head of the bicycle trembles.

Early in the morning, the two of them left home, went to Houhai, walked northward along Mianmian Hutong, turned westward, and entered a quiet and quaint alley.

There is a red sign nailed to the entrance of the alley, which reads: Deep in Hundred Flowers.

The road is very narrow, about three meters wide, and the two of them pushed the car slowly. The angle of view is narrow and long. There are walls made of broken bricks on both sides. The south wall rarely sees sunlight, and it is gray and cold.

Turning inwards, it is a little more spacious and the walls are more broken. A native dog looked at Mr. Xu curiously, raised its legs and urinated in the corner of the wall, then slipped into its own door.

This alley leads to Xinjiekou in the west and starts from the East Lane of Huguo Temple in the east. Most of them are small courtyards, except for two differences. One is the lower grade department of Changqiao Primary School at the east end, with a vermilion gate and a plaque that looks like Tsinghua University.

The other is No. 16 courtyard at the west end, and there is a reception room outside, which says Baihua Recording Studio.

"The legendary recording studio has existed so early..."

Xu Fei walked around the alley first, and then stopped in front of a house under the impatient eyes of the aunt.

The small gate building built on the wall has no steps, the mahogany door opens opposite, and long stone piers stand on both sides, with mottled patterns on it. "No. 25, Baihuashen" is marked on the wall.

After waiting, a woman poked her head out inside, with gray hair, a quiet face, and a soft accent: "Why are you free today?"

"Your house is not sold, is it?"

"not yet."

"That's good, I'll bring a kid to see, he wants to buy."

"..."

The woman took a few glances before taking two steps back, "Please come in."

Xu Fei was very surprised. This woman was about the same age as the aunt, but she had completely different styles. She had received a good education, and she was secretly elegant.

He stepped in, facing an exquisite screen wall, and walked around the screen wall to see a small courtyard.

There are three rooms in the north, two bright and one dark, two rooms in the east and west wing rooms, and three rooms in the south room. Lying bricks to the top, tile-roofed houses with ridges, and brick-and-mortar corridors in the courtyard, connecting the doors of various houses.

The kitchen is in the southeast and the toilet is in the southwest corner.

There are also two trees planted in the yard, one is a pomegranate, the other is also a pomegranate, the branches are full, the leaves have fallen early, and they stretch out to the sky in a crooked way.

Small courtyards and small buildings are two different concepts. They are said to be small courtyards, but they are actually very spacious.

Teacher Xu was amazed immediately, the yard is well preserved!

He didn't even enter the house, and after stepping outside for a few laps, his heart was pounding, and he looked at Auntie. Once the aunt saw the virtue, she knew the right way, so she left.

"This family's surname is Liu, and the ancestor is a famous gentleman. The friends I made when I was a girl, the first house was expropriated and turned into an education center for some unit. Later, the unit became yellow, and people were lucky enough to catch up with the implementation of the policy. It was sent back a few years ago, and the procedures were completed.”

"Then why are you still selling it?"

"The family's sons and daughters have all gone abroad. What kind of chickens are there? The place where the Olympics are held. They are all high-level intellectuals. They have worked there for a few years, and they will take over their parents. That's why they want to sell it."

"oh……"

Xu Fei turned around and saw that the small courtyard was on the north side of the Hutong, facing south as a whole, and it was far away from Xinjiekou, so he was not afraid of noise.

The more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and said: "Since the procedures are complete, then you can help me to ask the price, and I will buy it if it suits me."

"How much is appropriate?"

"Anyway, you can ask."

"Hey, rich!"

Aunt gave a thumbs up, very social.

After Xu Fei finished a major event, he felt instantly happy, and walked around the alley again. When it comes to buying a courtyard house, one always pays attention to Houhai. In fact, Houhai is developed like a red-light district, full of commercial alleys, which is too busy.

Baihua is not bad, and the future generations will also maintain a simple and simple appearance, and they belong to the Shichahai school district, so they will be guaranteed to have children in the future, ah bah, thinking too far.

There is also the Baihua recording studio, which belongs to the Jingcheng Audio Equipment Factory, which will be the top recording studio in China. In a few years, there will be countless big names here.

"Don't dare to ask the way in the middle of the night, I went to the depths of the flowers..."

When he came out of the alley, Teacher Xu subconsciously hummed a song.

The jujube trees on the side of the road are bare, and the sound of the old man training the pigeons can be heard from time to time. A few wisps of cooking smoke rise from the back of the yard, and the woman pushes the car to go to work.

If there is no building, there is no building. The yard is good.

In a spacious yard, there are trees, preferably fruit trees or flowering trees. It is worth setting up a table under the tree for a few days every year when it blooms, drinking a cup of wine, and finding a girl you like.

…………

Beijing has not issued a temporary residence permit yet, and even the ID card system was officially implemented a few months ago, so there is no time for you to buy a house as a foreigner.

The aunt asked the price, it was not cheap, 10,000 yuan in 1985, what is the concept? The two sides reached an agreement, so they were busy going through the procedures, running around and trying to get it done before the end of the year.

At the same time, there was news from Dai Linfeng that the leader of a unit was interested and asked him to meet.

At a teahouse at the front door, Xu Fei arrived early and only saw someone come up after drinking half a pot of water. Thin, with a clear temperament, wearing glasses and a thick mustache.

Mom!

He was taken aback, thinking that Zhou Shuren Xun was coming.

He didn't know the other person's name, so Lao Dai only gave him a surname, got up quickly and said, "Hello, Teacher Lu!"

"Well, sit down."

The man looked at him first, with a serious look, "Mr. Dai told me that you have the ability and ideas. In fact, it is no problem to recruit people. The important thing is that you have value. I also read the few manuscripts you wrote. Yes, there is a good place, which is the commercial nature of TV dramas."

He didn't even ask for tea, and asked directly: "How do you think a TV series can have commercial attributes?"

Um? This is the interview?

Xu Fei was not afraid, and rationalized his thinking, and said: "The essence of a commercial attribute is commercial value, and the foundation is the audience. The more audiences, the greater the commercial value. So let's extend it a little bit, how to ensure that the audience loves to watch and like it. Look, follow and watch.

From my personal point of view, first of all, the audience and TV dramas should be subdivided into categories. But this can only be done when the industry is relatively mature. Now we are just starting out, and the common people are extremely lacking in spiritual food. Basically, they will see whatever you show them, so..."

"No, you continue, I want to hear about the detailed classification." Teacher Lu interrupted.

"Oh, the refinement of the audience needs to be investigated, and various groups are drawn according to age, education, work, gender, hobbies, etc., and what kind of TV series they like to watch.

The refinement of TV dramas is also to classify them.

For a long time, our film and television works have only had revolutionary themes. Now that the revolutionary theme has been preserved and is the most proficient, correspondingly, many different types of works have emerged.

For example, "Jigong", "Journey to the West", "Fengshen Yanyi", these types of adaptations should be called mythological dramas.

"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" should be called a martial arts drama.

"The Legend of Wooden Fish and Stone", a historical drama.

"Blood Doubt", a family ethics drama.

"New Star", a realistic drama.

"Fearless" covers a lot of content, but the core is martial arts, so it should be called a Kung Fu drama.

"Shanghai Bund", this one is more complicated. Its success lies in the fresh setting, the rise of the little people, the gangsters, the love of children, and the success of a generation of tycoons.

These factors are what the audience loves to watch, that is, the commercial attributes you mentioned. But I think the most fatal point is the two protagonists. "

"how to say?"

"When "Shanghai Bund" was created, the plot may be the main focus, but it is different when Zhou Runfa and Zhao Yazhi are invited to act. When the charm of the actors themselves is enough to overwhelm everything, everything is for them.

If it were replaced by two ordinary actors, "Shanghai Bund" might be a gangster drama of the Republic of China, but if they were cast, it would become a well-deserved star drama. "

"Star drama..."

Teacher Lu tasted the meaning and accepted it.

In fact, Xu Fei wanted to talk about idol dramas, but he was afraid of being too ahead of his time, so he changed idols into stars.

"First distinguish these things clearly before you can prescribe the right medicine. What do you want to shoot and what is your audience? Of course, the industry is immature now, and it's not commercial or not. It's nothing more than enriching themes and creating with heart."

"..."

Teacher Lu was silent for a long time, then looked at the young man, his attitude was much gentler.

"Apart from these, what are you good at in terms of professional technology?"

"Where do you mean?"

"Script writing?"

"I understand a little."

"art design?"

"Better at it."

"Director, camera, lighting, editing, sound effects?"

"Hehe, you are making fun of me."

"Ah……"

Teacher Lu also showed a little smile, and said: "Mr. Dai is my old leader. His vision has always been good, and he has really benefited a lot. Well, I still have something to do. I have to go. I look forward to working together in the future."

He shook hands with him again, and wiped himself away.

"..."

Xu Fei blinked for a long time, then murmured in a low voice. He didn't mention his name or unit, and he was quite mysterious.

It's a pity, brother recognizes you.
