Chapter 406 The Magnificent Train Heading North

Pujiang Dance Theater, dance practice room.

Pan Hong, Gong Xue, and Zhang Yu, who had just entered the door for a while, were leaning against a wall to look at what was going on.

"Attention everyone,"

At this moment, Jiang Shan standing in front clapped his hands: "Let's go through this section first, get ready, start!"

After saying "get up"——

The girls in practice uniforms danced step by step towards the ten small wooden benches in the middle of the classroom.

At first, they didn't see anything. It wasn't until the actresses stood on a stool with one leg that the three actresses who were standing aside to watch the excitement suddenly felt their eyes light up.

Looking at the dancers in front of them, with their professional dancing postures and supple figures, the three of them quickly and quietly adjusted their stances.

Keep your chest up and your abdomen in, relax your shoulders, tighten your neck...

The country at this moment, whether in front of you or behind you, is full of spring scenery that makes people unable to take their eyes away.

But at this moment, he was only immersed in directing more than a dozen girls, going back and forth, left and right, among the flowers.

"Come, draw a dragon with me with your left hand, and a rainbow with your right hand..."

As Jiang Shan's left and right hands exchanged, the cattail fans in the girls' hands also varied.

Looking at the scene in front of him where the actions and words were extremely inconsistent, Pan Hong seemed to have a soft twilight in front of his eyes.

"it's beautiful,"

Gong Xue, who couldn't help but take a step forward, couldn't help but said softly: "They dance so well!"

"What kind of dance is this?" Pan Hong whispered, covering her mouth.

"It's not classical dance," Gong Xue said next to her, "it looks a bit like ballet."

The enthusiasm for analysis suddenly disappeared before my eyes.

"It's gone?" Zhang Yu blinked: "Why did it suddenly disappear? I haven't seen enough!"

A "Wonderful Night in the Forbidden City" allowed several young actresses to get acquainted with a young planner.

"Our team has just been formed a few days ago,"

Jiang Shan turned around and smiled: "If the lesbians weren't hardworking enough, you wouldn't even be able to see this."

"Okay, Jiangshan,"

The 26-year-old Pan Hong has long since lost contact with Jiang Shan: "It was so beautiful at the beginning of the dance. When the dance is arranged, I don't know how beautiful it will be!"

"I like it so much," Gong Xue said with a smile, "I really want to see you earlier."

"What's so difficult about this,"

Jiang Shan looked at them with a smile: "In the coming days, the classroom next door will be our training base, so feel free to come and take a look."

"Didn't you say on the phone that they will also participate in the costume show?" Pan Hong said, "It won't have any impact then, right?"

"I have asked for the opinion of Team Leader Xia," Jiang Shan said, "I have also asked for the opinion of the performance team, and everyone expressed their willingness to participate."

"In fact, with their temperament and professional skills, they can go on stage directly after a little rehearsal,"

Jiang Shan lowered his voice:

"Look, which one of them is not wearing clothes? They take just two steps on stage and they are all so beautiful!"

"What about us?"

Pan Hong, Gong Xue, and Zhang Yu were tied together and looking at the country.

"You?" Jiang Shan: "Don't you even mention it?"

“Jiandao, what are you talking about??”

While talking, Zhou Jie and Dong Zhizhi had already walked over.

"I said you are beautiful," Jiang Shan did not dare to offend anyone: "I am the only one left miserable."

"No!"

"Our director Jiang is the most beautiful."

"Do you think so?"

"Yes~~"

The five women were laughing and joking, looking at the country together.

Jiang Shan suddenly felt like he had fallen into a Pansi Cave.

Fortunately, Pan Hong changed the subject in time: "By the way, Zhou Jie, how come you have the address of Jiangshan's house?"

"I asked Sister Xiaoqing about it," Zhou Jie said with a smile while pressing her legs:

"But Sister Xiaoqing's phone number is not easy to call. After asking around, I found out the phone number of their crew in Leshan."

Pan Hong: "Why don't you come to me directly?"

"We didn't even know you were coming to Pujiang."

"That's true,"

Pan Hong's purpose of coming here this time is mainly to provide pre-war guidance to Jiang Chuan:

"Speaking of which, it's time for Xiaoqing to come back from Leshan."

Gong Xue nodded seriously: "She is the actress most likely to win the Hundred Flowers Award this time."

…

A food commercial brought several actresses together.

After listening to Zhou Jie's words, Jiang Shan glanced at her silently.

Many years later, the dancing Concubine Yang would unfortunately suffer from an incurable disease.

On her deathbed, Zhou Jie, who wanted to return to China but was unable to do so, made a call for help to Liu Xiaoqing in China.

After Liu Xiaoqing found out, he paid 270,000 yuan to buy a plane and took her back to the country without saying a word.

In fact, things like this are not uncommon for Liu Xiaoqing.

The outside world only knows that she loves Jiang Wen, but they don't know that Liu Xiaoqing is loyal to everyone.

Director Xie Jin started saving savings and buying insurance for his three children very early because he had three idiots at home.

You know, the directors of that generation didn't have much luck.

Foreign media also ridiculed Xie Jin for wearing the same suit for ten years.

After filming "The Wrangler" was completed, Zhu Shimao realized that Director Xie's life was not easy.

He kept this in mind, and many years later he sent the entire salary of RMB 100,000 to Director Xie.

The same goes for Pan Hong. She was well aware of Director Xie's family background, so she handed over the remuneration to Xie Jin as soon as she received Xiafei's advertising fee.

Compared with them, Liu Xiaoqing is like this every year.

Not only does she support Xie Jin all year round, she will also send a copy to the Xie family whenever she sees something good.

Whenever Xie Jin declined, Liu Xiaoqing would reply with one sentence: "You earn more, but I earn more."

When it comes to making money, the people brought out by Director Xie all earn a lot.

For example: Chen Chong.

But Chen Chong is not bad either. He often talks loudly about Director Xie’s support to him.

But looking at the entertainment industry, it is really rare to see people who can repay their benefactors throughout their lives.

Until Xie Jin's memorial service, Liu Xiaoqing stuffed a pocket of cash into Xie Jin's lover's hand.

…

On a green train going north, Pan Hong, Gong Xue, Zhang Yu, and Jiang Shan stayed in a soft sleeper car.

Jiang Shan was lying on the upper bunk, with a book on his head and listening to a play below.

He really didn't understand why these three women had so much to say?

What time is it now, and I am still so excited that I refuse to lie down.

When buying tickets, Jiang Shan didn't want to be in the same room with them.

But they kept pressing on him, saying they were worried about his absence, and they didn't know who would be arranged to come in.

"I'm talking about my aunts,"

Except for Zhang Yu, everyone in this room is older than me: "I'm going to attend the Hundred Flowers Awards when I get off the train tomorrow. Are you not nervous at all?"

"Are you nervous?" Pan Hong was really nervous: "That's why I can't sleep!"

"I'm not nervous at all," Gong Xue, who was sleeping on the lower bunk of Jiangshan, said with a smile, "My name is not on the ballot anyway."

"Me too," Zhang Yu, who was sitting on the bed, hugged her knees: "But I'm really excited to attend such a grand award ceremony."

"We have to thank our comrades Jiangshan for this," Gong Xue stuck her head out and smiled:

"If it weren't for him, we wouldn't even be able to get through the gate of Zhengxie Hall!"

She is smiling, and so is Jiangshan.

"Don't be nervous, everyone,"

At this moment, Jiang Shan sat up and leaned on the bedside: "Isn't it the Hundred Flowers Award? Let's come one by one. If we don't succeed this year, we will wait until next year. It will be our turn anyway."

…

In 1980, the "Film Hundred Flowers Award" was restarted after a 17-year hiatus.

Popular Cinema, which has just resumed publication for three months, is in full swing.

With the third month's issue, 1.6 million votes were released.

It seems like a lot, but for the nearly 1 billion people across the country, it is not even a splash.

In many places, it often takes a group to get one vote.

At this critical moment, the people pay special attention to this matter.

During that time, you could often see a group of people arguing over the check of a ballot.

Many factory units with thousands of people held meetings to discuss and vote by a show of hands just for the votes of the only magazine in the factory.

This phenomenon directly led to the circulation of as many as 9 million copies of "Popular Cinema".

Next year, Zhang Yu will win 1.4 million votes with "Romance in Lushan Mountain" and take home a veritable Hundred Flowers Trophy.

Pan Hong and Gong Xue will also become the double actresses of Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers in a few years.

"Oh, that's right," Pan Hong suddenly suggested: "We can't sleep now anyway, so why not get up and try on the dress we want to wear tomorrow night."

"What a good idea." Zhang Yu had long wanted to see the clothes Jiang Shan prepared for them: "Let me make it clear first, don't compete with me for a while!"

Gong Xue: "Why?"

"Because I'm the youngest!"

"Not like this," Gong Xue said, "I'd say I'm the biggest!"

After a few seconds of jingling, three pairs of beautiful eyes looked at Jiangshan together.

"It all depends on what I do,"

Jiang Shan, holding a book in his hand, looked at the talent and said, "Don't worry, I won't compete with you."

"Stop coming!"

"Why don't you hurry up and take the initiative?"

A minute later, Jiang Shan was pressed onto a chair in the aisle, accompanied by laughter.

A few minutes later, Zhang Yu’s call came from the room:

"Ah, how come this is exactly the same as the clothes I wore on the set?"

…

In the dormitory building of Yanjing Film Factory, Liu Xiaoqing, who rushed back from Leshan, Sichuan to participate in the "Hundred Flowers Award", felt pain everywhere.

"Isn't it just a divorce? What's the big deal?"

Chen Peisi in the room immediately expressed her warmth: "Didn't you listen to what Sisi said? These things are not a big deal abroad."

"Go, go, go," Liu Xiaoqing rubbed his shoulders: "Why did I do this?"

There have been various rumors about Liu Xiaoqing.

But Jiangshan was not prepared to ask about other people's troubles.

Not to mention being in the entertainment industry, even if you are not in the entertainment industry, there are still a lot of unstable elements.

Chen Peisi looked at the other party carefully: "Then why are you looking so worried?"

"I'm in pain."

The first martial arts film after the reform and opening up, the director was inexperienced and the actors were even less experienced.

When filming, it was just a solid beating.

Fortunately, Liu Xiaoqing is a hard-working person.

If it were another actress, I really don't know if she could have persisted until the end.

"There's something else,"

Liu Xiaoqing took a gulp of cold water and said, "I don't have any suitable clothes right now."

Chen Peisi got to the point: "You can't take it out if you leave it at home?"

Liu Xiaoqing rolled her eyes at him: "When I went to the guest house to see Chen Chong just now, I saw that she had brought a lot of clothes."

"That's not good. You can just borrow one from her."

"I borrowed it," Liu Xiaoqing said, "but as soon as I put it on, she wanted to go back."

"Why?"

"How would I know."

Many years later, Chen Chong said that what he couldn't stand the most when he was young and ignorant was: Why does Liu Xiaoqing dress better than me?

Three sounds of "dong dong dong"

There was a knock on the dormitory door.

Then, a familiar voice came from outside the door: "Does Liu Xiaoqing live here?"

"ah,"

Liu Xiaoqing and Chen Peisi looked at each other in surprise: "It's Jiangshan."

Chen Peisi opened the door with a sudden sound: "The door is unlocked, please come in quickly."

When he opened the door and took a look, all the beautiful faces in the door frame were smiling at him.

"Ah, you actually came together."

"That's great," Chen Peisi said, "I miss everyone so much."

The four people walked into Liu Xiaoqing's small single room one by one.

The first thing Pan Hong did when she walked in was to dump a large bag of clothes on the bed.

"Xiaoqing, look,"

She looked back at Liu Xiaoqing: "What did Jiang Shan bring you?"

"..."

Surprised and speechless, Liu Xiaoqing looked at the bed full of colorful clothes and remembered what Jiang Shan once said to him:

"My suit is here!"

…

May 23, 1980, Zhengxie Auditorium.

The third Hundred Flowers Film Awards, organized by China Film and Popular Films, was grandly held in Yanjing.

The scene was filled with loud gongs and drums and red flags waving.

Prominent filmmakers from all over the world sat in a large crowd.

Director Wang Fulin, who was sitting with director Zhou Yeming, could see the world as soon as he settled down.

"Zhou Tai," Wang Fulin raised his arm and hit Zhou Yeming: "Look who that is?"

When Zhou Yeming turned around, he saw a sunny young man walking over with four actresses in bloom.

At this moment, not to mention the two of them, all the comrades around were looking at this place.

Of course, among the female literary and artistic workers present, there were also many who wore advanced clothes.

But compared with the four people behind Jiang Shan, they are obviously not good enough.

Speaking of which, these four people really didn't dare to jump too much.

Among the 26 pieces of clothing Jiang Shan brought, he chose 4 relatively light colors.

"Here,"

Wang Fulin waved his hand: "Xiao Jiang, look here."

"Here comes Director Wang,"

Jiang Shan was happy when he saw Wang Fulin and waved vigorously: "Hey, Zhou Tai is here too!"

Zhou Yeming silently glanced at Pan Hong, Liu Xiaoqing, Gong Xue, and Zhang Yu behind Jiang Shan.

"Don't say it yet," Zhou Yeming whispered to Wang Fulin:

"Maybe tonight's Hundred Flowers Award will go to friends like Xiao Jiang."

After his reminder, Wang Fulin saw Comrade Chen Peisi who was following him.

"Well, there was a lot of news about Chen Peisi a while ago."

"They are all positive news!"

…

After several bursts of warm applause, the filmmakers on and off stage were very excited.

Jiang Shan, who was taking pictures all the time, clearly felt that a new movie curtain was about to open.

After a while, the exciting moment finally arrived.

"The films that won the Best Feature Film at the 3rd Hundred Flowers Awards were "Little Flower" and "Trail of Tears".

Best Director: Xie Tian "Sweet Career"

Best Actor: Li Rentang, Best Actress: Chen Chong..."

The commendation conference of this era is different from the squeeze ointment of later generations.

The names were announced one by one on the stage, and those in the audience stood up and came to the stage when they heard their names.

After shaking hands with the leaders one by one and receiving the trophy, they stood in a row and accepted the applause from the audience.

At this moment, when the list of best actress was announced, many people in the audience looked at Liu Xiaoqing.

Not to mention them, even Liu Xiaoqing himself thought he would win the award.

After all, he has four movies on the ballot.

Liu Xiaoqing would laugh hard and pinch his hands.

Comrade Chen Peisi was also holding hands with her: "Jiangshan."

"what?"

"I'm so nervous that I can't stand it anymore."

"What are you afraid of? If it doesn't work this year, there will be tomorrow..."

After the words fell, the voice on the stage rang again.

"Best Supporting Actor: Chen Peisi, Best Supporting Actress: Liu Xiaoqing..."

Call out,

Jiang Shan immediately pushed Chen Peisi up: "Go and hold your grand prize!"

In May 1980, the originally vacant spot for Best Supporting Actor at the Third Hundred Flowers Awards was finally filled by Chen Peisi!
