Chapter 432 Conspiracy

In the office of Pujiang Dubbing Studio, smoke was curling and voices were constantly talking.

At this moment, several leaders who were in high spirits were gathered around a table, talking and dancing.

Originally, several dubbing actors who were sitting in several corners also moved closer to the organization with stools.

Don't worry about how the Spring Festival Gala is, anyway, they are chatting happily at this moment.

"The director of the movie Street Angel is Yuan Muzhi,"

Xie Jin, who never puts down his cigarette, knocked his cigarette:

"He was the first director to join the Left-wing Film League. The movie Street Angel made Zhao Dan and Zhou Xuan famous."

"Well," Director Shi nodded: "When Zhou Xuan filmed this movie, she seemed to be less than 18 years old?"

"17 years old," Xie Jin: "Zhao Dan was only 22 at that time."

"Speaking of movie interludes,"

Director Shi thought of another one: "There is also a very good song in the later "Spring in a Small Town."

"In That Faraway Place," Hu Xiao also likes this song: "I still have a record at home!"

Jiang Shan: "How do you sing this?"

Liu Guangning, who dubbed Vivien Leigh in "Waterloo Bridge", has just been selected as one of the hosts of this Spring Festival Gala.

Seeing Jiangshan asking, she began to sing:

"In that faraway place, there is a good girl. People who pass by her account office will look back and look at her nostalgically..."

"It's really beautiful,"

Jiangshan must praise Liu Guangning's good voice: "It would be even better if there is accompaniment."

"Wait for you,"

Qiu Yuefeng stood up and walked out: "I'll go call Teacher Li."

"It's just right, I also want to invite a comrade,"

Director Gu stood up and said:

"These two days, the National Children's Literature and Art Creation Selection Conference was held in Pujiang, and you must meet one of the award-winning representatives."

After that, he went out to greet the driver.

"Who is Lao Gu talking about?" Director Shi looked at Hu Xiao.

"How would I know," Hu Xiao shrugged, "Didn't he say that we'll see him soon? But Xiao Jiang,"

He turned to look at Jiang Shan, "You haven't heard this song by Wang Luobin?"

"I do know the song," Jiang Shan, "but I didn't know it was from this movie."

Jiang Shan's impression of "Spring in a Small Town" was limited to the line "He said he had lung disease, I think he was mentally ill!"

"Spring in a Small Town", a literary film known as "the first of China's 100 films in the past 100 years", is absolutely a wonder.

This film, which describes a wife's infidelity and a husband's willingness to take poison to give up his position, was condemned and criticized by most voices in China when it was released in 1948.

It was hastily removed from the shelves after only more than 10 days of release.

The whole movie was decadent and a failure, but it was suddenly regarded as a masterpiece by European audiences decades later.

And then, it was awarded the title of "the first of China's 100 films in the past 100 years" by the Hong Kong Academy Awards.

After that, after watching Spring in a Small Town over and over again, Wong Kar-wai filmed In the Mood for Love, which is also about four people entangled together.

If Hu Xiao hadn't mentioned it, Jiangshan really wouldn't have known that In That Faraway Place was the interlude of this movie.

"If you ask me, the interludes of movies after liberation are the best,"

Xie Jin looked at everyone and reminded them, "For example, the Railway Guerrillas filmed by our factory."

"Yes, yes, yes,"

When mentioning this movie, Director Shi laughed even more: "Play My Beloved Pipa."

At this time, the music editor Teacher Li, who had already sat in with an accordion, played it with both hands.

"The sun is about to set in the west, and Weishan Lake is quiet.

Play my beloved earthen pipa and sing the moving ballad..."

After a group of people sang a few lines while tapping the table, Jiangshan quickly opened the notebook and wrote a line:

"Director Shi, in which year was this movie produced by your factory?"

"Let me think,"

Director Shi looked up at the ceiling, as if there were words on it:

"If I remember correctly, it was either 1955 or 1956."

"Can we invite all these actors by then?"

"What for?"

"To sing!"

"To sing?"

Director Shi was not surprised yet, Xie Jinxian He was shocked: "Let them sing?"

"Yes," Jiang Shan: "It's better to wear the costumes of that year and sing together."

Just then, Director Gu, who went out to invite people, came back:

"Xiao Jiang, from what you just said, you want to plan an old movie interlude evening party?"

"I dare not say that, at best, it is to add a few programs to the whole evening party, and the general direction depends on you to decide."

"Then you have to put more thought into these programs!"

"Of course," Jiang Shan: "You definitely can't just hold the microphone and sing, you have to play some tricks."

"How to play?" Gu Zhengzheng wanted to know this.

"First of all, I have to confirm one thing with you," Jiang Shan: "Is our evening party recorded or live?"

In this era, there is no experience in this regard.

Last year, Hong Kong's TVB brought all its big and small things to come and Guangdong-East jointly organize the Spring Festival Gala, which was live.

But during the Lantern Festival this year, the "New Star Concert" broadcast by Pujiang TV was equivalent to a live recording shot at the stadium.

"Personally, I am more in favor of recorded broadcast," Gu Zhengzheng weighed it:

"First, it can be adapted to the performers' time, and second, it can be modified in a timely manner."

"There's a third one: editing," Jiang Shan felt that the most important thing was the third one:

"As long as you agree to the recording and broadcasting, the song review of this old movie will be very interesting."

"Let me give you an example," Hu Xiao turned to look at Jiang Shan.

"Just like the song we sang "Play My Beloved Tu Pipa" just now," Jiang Shan:

"We can first cut more than 10 seconds of the original film, where the guerrillas are sitting by the lake, playing the pipa and singing.

Then the camera turned to focus on the stage.

There, several leading actors from the movie stood together and sang together. "

"Oh~" Gu Zhengzheng understood: "Let the character come out of the screen."

"That sounds pretty interesting,"

Xie Jin looked at Factory Director Shi, who nodded:

"Then I'll invite them here and I'll contact them personally when I get back."

"in addition,"

Jiang Shan looked at Hu Xiao again: "Our factory also has a lot of special skills that we can bring to the table."

Hu Xiao: "Our factory has many special skills. Which one are you talking about?"

"For example, our Teacher Qiu,"

Jiang Shan smiled and said: "This gala must be taken care of by both adults and children. Teacher Qiu?"

Qiu Yuefeng: "Here it is."

"You dubbed the Monkey King in "Havoc in Heaven", right?"

"All the monkeys in the Meiying Studio were given by Lao Qiu,"

Before Qiu Yuefeng could speak, Bi Ke said for him:

"In "Havoc in the Sky", he is the Monkey King and I am King Li Tianwang.

In the puppet show "Afanti", one of us is Master Bai and the other is Avanti. "

"When you two arrive, dress up as Master Bai and Afanti,"

Jiang Shan thought it was just right: "Then he went on stage and sang "My Little Donkey" for the children."

"This is good,"

Hu Xiao's eyes lit up and he greeted Teacher Li: "Give them a head start."

Accompanied by an accordion, Bi Ke and Qiu Yuefeng sang a song "My Little Donkey" in a naive manner.

At first it was a bit overwhelming, but later on I couldn’t sing enough.

"Okay, okay, you two are really good at talking and singing," Hu Xiao's thug paused:

"Xiao Jiang, if this is the case, many animation film inserts can be done like this!"

"Jiangshan's suggestion is a good one," Director Gu said, "We really need to take good care of the children."

"If the key is to do this, it will bring the American Film Studio into play,"

Hu Xiao thought of his old friends: "They are also a major feature of our city!"

"Then it's settled,"

Gu Zhengzheng agreed: "The movie "Snow Child" that was just released this year by their factory was dubbed by your factory Ding Jianhua, right?"

"You mean, let Xiao Ding also sing a song?"

"I think it's totally fine..."

Gradually, the leaders also began to tidy up.

At this stall, the driver of the TV station led a gay man wearing glasses in.

"Old Liu?"

When he saw the visitor, Xie Jin was surprised: "It turns out that the person Gutai was talking about is you!"

"I didn't expect that,"

Gu Zhengzheng introduced to the others: "Comrade Liu Chi is a very outstanding composer in our country. In my case, he is ranked number one."

"You can't say that, you can't say that,"

Composer Liu Chi, who has just recovered his relationship, looks extremely thin and talks about the age of retirement:

"Are you...in a meeting?"

"Sit down, sit down, let's sit down and talk," Gu Zhengzheng said, "Besides me, the people here today also have Pujiang Film Studio..."

"Isn't our city going to hold a Spring Festival Gala?"

Xie Jin seemed to have a close relationship with Liu Chi: "Several units are discussing this matter."

"Xiao Jiang," Gu Zhengzheng said with a smile, "do you know this teacher Liu Chi's masterpiece?"

Oh my god! He doesn't know about other people, but this master Jiangshan knows it all too well.

Ever since "Comrade Liu Chi" was called out in Gutai, Jiangshan was already excited.

"How could you not know this?"

Jiang Shanxin said that if he didn't show up, he would still have to go and invite him:

"Our Oriental Metropolis Daily also reported news about Teacher Liu Chi today!"

"Is it?"

"What news?"

"Why didn't we hear about it?"

At this moment, Gu Zhengzheng was the only one who wasn't curious, and the others all had gossipy looks on their faces.

"Didn't Gutai just say that?"

Jiang Shan has not forgotten that he is a reporter:

"The National Children's Literary and Art Creation Conference was held in our city, and Teacher Liu Chi was among the winners."

"Children's literary creation?"

For a moment, Xie Jin really didn't think about it: "Old Liu, have you ever written children's songs?"

"Tsk," Gu Zhengzheng said, "Isn't it just "Let's Swing the Oars"!"

"Oh, yes," Xie Jin said, "This song really deserves an award."

Liu Chi, who was already seated, was surprised: "I thought this song was written more than 20 years ago. I didn't expect everyone still remembers it!"

In 1955, Changchun Film Studio prepared the film "Flowers of the Motherland".

For the episode in the film, the director successively brought Qiao Yu and Liu Chi into Beihai Park.

After that, there was the song "Let's Swing the Oars" that everyone knows.

"According to Jiangshan's words, it is called," Gu Zhengzheng said: "The classics will be passed down forever."

"Lao Liu has more than just this classic, "My Motherland", "Hymn to Heroes", "White-Haired Girl", and "Our XJ Good Place".

Including the well-known "Sorrow" and the third and sixth sets of radio gymnastics...

As Xie Jin spoke, he handed a cigarette to Liu Chi, who was proficient in playing cards, smoking, dancing, and playing musical instruments.

"Absolute musical talent," Gu Zhengzheng said, "otherwise, I wouldn't have sent a driver to hire him."

"You can't say that," Liu Chi said, "The key is that my opportunities are good."

"Yeah?"

"It's convenient for you to tell us."

"Who did you meet?"

"Let's talk about my adventures as a child first."

Liu Chi, who was always carefree, got along well with his comrades in just two sentences:

“When I was young, my family was poor and I was very good at eating.

So when I had nothing to do, I ran to the temple in front of my house to do odd jobs.

Every time I finish my work, I can eat two bites of food.

After I went there more often, I discovered that there was actually an ancient band in this temple.

Moreover, the instruments used were all from the Tang Dynasty. They sounded good to me at the time, so I started to learn from them..."

"Is there a band in the monk temple?" Bike heard this with surprise.

Jiang Shan was also curious: "What kind of ancient musical instrument have you learned?"

"I didn't know who to choose at the time, so I just learned one by one," Liu Chi said:

"What about gongs, shengs, wooden flutes, guqins, pipas..."

Jiang Shan's eyes widened as he listened: "Have you learned everything?"

"I have learned all the instruments of the ancient band," Liu Chi said proudly:

"Not only that, I also learned to read ancient records in the temple. With this unique skill, when I arrived in Yan'an, it was very smooth."

"Did you really go to a monk's temple?" Hu Xiao thought more and more bizarrely: "Isn't it a music school?"

"Isn't it incredible?" Liu Chi got funny thinking about it: "Don't say it's you, even my mother can't believe it."

"and after?"

"You're going to Yan'an?"

"After I learned all the instruments, the host noticed that I had a good voice and asked me to be the lead singer of Buddhist music."

Hu Xiao finally understood: "You are really destined to be a Buddha!"

"In the year of the Xi'an Incident, I met a Red Army team nearby,"

Liu Chi continued: "Then he went north to Yan'an.

After arriving in Yan'an, I sang a song called "March of the Volunteers" and was successfully admitted to the Lu Xun Academy of Arts and Letters.

At that time, Xian Xinghai happened to be rehearsing the "Yellow River Cantata".

From that time on, I was honored to become Xian Xinghai’s student. "

"It turns out you are Comrade Xian Xinghai's student,"

Gu Zhengzheng heard this for the first time: "That's no wonder!"

"Now..." Xie Jin inquired carefully at this time: "Have you resumed work?"

"After returning to Yanjing the year before last," Liu Chi said, "I was assigned to join the coal mine art troupe. Now... I mainly serve as the deputy leader."

"You're already the deputy captain? That's okay."

"I'm still worried about you."

"We kept it secret."

"Old Liu, I'm telling you," Gu Zhengzheng said, "You must help with this Spring Festival Gala in our station."

"This is not just a matter of words,"

Liu Chi agreed without saying a word:

"I'll invite Qiao Yu to you then. He just recently composed a song "Peony Song" for a movie. It sounds very good to me..."

Hearing this, Jiang Shan silently plotted a big plan in his notebook:

A big river with wide waves and the wind blowing the fragrance of rice and flowers on both sides...
