As we enter November, the days are getting shorter.

The entire afternoon was spent in meetings and discussions, but at this moment, everyone's face showed no signs of exhaustion, but full of anticipation for the work that was about to begin.

"Xiao Gu, it's okay. I've known Director Yang for so many years, and she never praises others easily."

Peng Li packed up her things and was about to leave. She saw Gu Bei lagging behind and said something with a smile.

She was really happy for Gu Bei. A newcomer who had just come to Taiwan as an intern was assigned to such an important team as "Journey to the West". Moreover, during the first intensive discussion, she was recognized by Director Yang Jie. She was indeed working hard for the job.

A good start.

The interpersonal relationships at this time were very simple. There were cases of jealousy, envy, and stumbling between each other, but they were rare.

Especially those who are engaged in literature and art, they are noble and noble in their bones, and they don't bother to do some things.

"Teacher Peng, what I said is all nonsense. What one family says cannot be taken seriously."

"Be humble again!"

Peng Li glanced at Gu Bei.

"Don't be so worldly when you are young. It's not good, and what's more! Smoking less, you are such a young person. I don't know that smoking is harmful to your health."

When I was cleaning up the conference room just now, the ashtray in front of Gu Bei had the most stock.

hehe!

There is no way to explain this. Before his rebirth, Gu Bei was a regular smoker, at least two packs a day. After his rebirth, he also thought about quitting, but he still valued his self-control and gave in within a day.

It’s just that I don’t have enough money in my pocket, so even if I have money, I can’t buy cigarettes without coupons. I can only go along with my classmates at school and my neighbors and friends at home.

Gu Bei would not dare to steal Gu Xiaowu's cigarettes.

"Teacher Peng, are you always so busy at work in Taiwan?"

Gu Bei still felt very relaxed in the morning. A newspaper, a cup of tea, and a pack of cigarettes could last him a whole day.

But at this moment, Gu Bei had a new understanding of the work of the TV station.

In the corridor, people were coming and going, and everyone was in a hurry. When acquaintances met, they just nodded to each other, and then passed each other.

"Not necessarily. For people like us in the production department, when there are no tasks, it is still very relaxed. We go to work at the same time and get off work at the same time every day. But once we get busy, we have no time at all, let alone holidays, and we stay up all night.

have."

Gu Beilai joined the art department in the art department. Like Peng Li, the relationship between the two naturally became close.

Especially during the meeting just now, Gu Bei's performance really impressed Peng Li. He was young and full of ideas. Moreover, he was not just throwing out random shots. Every issue he mentioned was meaningful.

What if he is really careless, has high ambitions and low ambitions, and is too lazy to deal with Peng Li because of his temper?

"Xiao Gu, you! It's better to relax now and wait until you get busy, haha!"

Hey, Sister Peng, can you finish what you have to say?

Gu Bei knew that what Peng Li said was not an exaggeration at all. In his previous life, he read an interview with the crew of "Journey to the West". This drama took six years from the beginning of preparation to the completion of all 25 episodes.

Six years!

How many six years can a person have in this life?

But now that he's here, Gu Bei has no regrets. Besides, he hasn't been on the crew all the time in the past six years. There are plenty of opportunities for him to do something else.

"What are you thinking about?"

Peng Li saw Gu Bei lost in thought and asked casually.

"It's nothing, Teacher Peng. Director Yang left suddenly just now. She was going..."

Peng Li smiled: "What else can I do? Just ask for money. Now someone is going to have a headache."

Listening to this tone, why is there still a sense of schadenfreude?

But what Peng Li said is correct. At this moment, someone is having a headache.

Seeing Yang Jie sitting in front of him, looking determined to achieve his goal, Hong Minsheng, who had just been promoted to deputy director, was helpless.

Before he came to CCTV, he knew that there was a director named Yang Jie in the Opera Department of the Literature and Art Department who was a thorn. Ordinarily, this name was not similar to that of an old lady. But after contacting him twice, he heard some things about Yang Jie.

He really believed the rumors.

Not only is he a thorn in the side, he is also stubborn and twisted.

Just after the organizational meeting, Hong Minsheng was preparing to go home from get off work when he was blocked in the office by Yang Jie.

I thought Yang Jie was doing it for Gu Bei's sake.

It was Hong Minsheng who arranged for Gu Bei to join the cast of "Journey to the West".

It was a coincidence that Gu Bei happened to join the job today, and he was a graduate of Beijing Film Academy. He was from a well-established family and had a good foundation. For young people like this, the station must focus on cultivating them.

Some people doubted Gu Bei's background, but they thought too much.

Yang Jie came to the door, is it possible that she plans to send Gu Bei back?

After asking, Hong Minsheng realized that he had misunderstood.

Yang Jie's attitude towards Gu Bei made a 180-degree turn. She praised him in front of Hong Minsheng, and then mentioned the purpose of coming to him this time.

money!

Although he had been prepared, Hong Minsheng was still caught off guard when Yang Jie came over to ask for money so quickly.

"Director Yang! The decision was just made in the morning. Director Wang Fulin has to take a year off from work to study. You don't have to be in such a hurry, right? Let's gather everyone together for a meeting to discuss, find out the problems that need to be solved, and do everything possible.

I have made full preparations, but now there is still no trace of it, why are you anxious?"

Yang Jie was unhappy when she heard this.

"Boss, why is there no film? Let me be responsible for filming "Journey to the West". This was decided at the meeting of the leaders of our literary and art department this morning."

"That's not what I meant. The filming of "Journey to the West" was decided by the organization and will definitely not be changed. What I am saying is that sharpening the knife will not delay the chopping of wood. The knife has not been sharpened yet. Whatever you do, you will get half the result with twice the effort. This way

intolerable."

"That's right! Leader, I came to you because I want money to sharpen my sword."

Money, money again.

Hong Minsheng wanted to pull his hair after hearing this.

If Taiwan had money now, would it still be necessary to push back and forth?

When we just held the organizational meeting, everyone was still discussing this issue.

To film "A Dream of Red Mansions" and "Journey to the West", where will the money come from?

There must be no Bengzier in Taili now, and it is already very difficult to maintain normal work.

Fortunately, the production of the two masterpieces will not start immediately. According to Hong Minsheng's idea, Wang Fulin will take a year off from work to study, and "Dream of Red Mansions" will have to wait until at least 1983 to start production.

What about "Journey to the West" here?

As long as it can be postponed until the end of the year, the financial allocations from the higher authorities will also come down by then.

But Yang Jie...

No wonder the previous director of the Literature and Art Department told him when he left that there was an old lady named Yang Jie in the opera department who was extremely difficult to deal with.

"How much money does it cost to sharpen a knife? Director Yang, please make it clear."

Then Yang Jie mentioned that she was going to inspect filming locations across the country.

When Hong Minsheng heard this, his eyes widened.

Going out for inspection and traveling around the country?

This is simply unheard of!

Today's TV drama productions are basically done in studios, and even if outdoor scenes are needed, the materials are always nearby.

"Director Yang, is this really necessary?"

At the Literary and Art Department leaders’ meeting in the morning, someone raised a question, but Yang Jie shot it back at that time.

Hong Minsheng originally thought that even if she had objections, Yang Jie would have to consider the actual situation in Taiwan.

"Boss, during the meeting this morning, you told me that the photos must be better than what they were when I was little. If there is no support at all from the station, how can I still make riceless food even if I am a clever wife? The actual situation now

Here it is, we want to make "Journey to the West" a success, but the stunts can't keep up, so we can only rely on storytelling to make up for it, and then combine the scenery with the story, otherwise..."

Yang Jie left half of what she said, and Hong Minsheng also understood what it meant.

If the studio doesn't give any support at all, and the audience doesn't approve of the final work, don't put the blame on Yang Jie alone.

I have a headache, I really have a headache.

Hong Minsheng not only wanted to pull his hair, but also wanted to beat it twice to relieve it.

"How much do you plan to charge for an outing?"

There is a door.

Yang Jie's eyes flashed, and she was making quick calculations in her mind.
