If someone interrupts you at a critical moment, everyone will get angry.

Cao Zhiqiang is no exception.

Just when Cao Zhiqiang was planning to ignore it, pretend that no one was in the room, and continue to put his gun in his head.

The knocking on the door outside started again, and it seemed endless.

Not only that, but a familiar voice came over: "Cao Zhiqiang, it's me, I know you are inside, get up quickly, I have something to do with you, something serious!"

Cao Zhiqiang instantly recognized the voice. It was Xu Qingdong, director Xu's voice.

Just when Cao Zhiqiang was stunned, Wu Qinghong also reacted. She grabbed Cao Zhiqiang's arm with a red face and whispered softly: "Stop making trouble, we have a long time to come. They came to you specially, so you better go and see them first. Don't lose your etiquette."

.”

Cao Zhiqiang sighed, then rolled off Wu Qinghong, and then shouted in the direction of the door: "Come on, come on, wait a moment, come over now!"

The reason for the compromise was that Cao Zhiqiang had thought clearly.

It doesn't matter to others, but Xu Qingdong probably can't pretend that he's not here.

Because the front desk is familiar with Xu Qingdong, this is why Xu Qingdong can come to him directly without the front desk staff calling in advance to ask.

And since Xu Qingdong came here to look for him, he must have asked the front desk if Cao Zhiqiang was there.

He would only come over if he was sure the person was there, otherwise, he wouldn't come up at all.

In this case, there is no need to play tricks that others are not doing, it is just deceiving oneself and others.

Besides, if he is looking for me in such a hurry, there must be something wrong.

You still can't delay business because of personal affairs.

Soon, Cao Zhiqiang put on a pair of underwear and a nightgown.

After telling Wu Qinghong to keep quiet.

Cao Zhiqiang then put on his slippers, walked out of the bedroom, then walked through the living room and came to the door of the room.

He took a deep breath, messed up his hair, and then deliberately pretended to have just woken up and opened the door.

As a result, as soon as the door opened, it was Cao Zhiqiang who was stunned first.

Because he originally thought that Xu Qingdong was the only one coming.

If it were him, it wouldn't matter if he acted sloppily, and he would be more kind.

But what he didn't expect was that there was a smiling... aunt beside him?

That's right, although the other party is dressed very neatly, has black and shiny hair, and has a good temperament, the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes show that... she is obviously an aunt!

While Cao Zhiqiang was stunned, Xu Qingdong said with a smile: "You finally opened the door. But, why did you look like this?"

Cao Zhiqiang finally came back to his senses: "Ah, I'm sorry, I was sleeping just now, what are you doing?"

Xu Qingdong said: "Let me introduce you first. This is Yang Jie, Director Yang! A national first-class director, and also my senior!"

"Ah, hello, hello, Director Yang!" Cao Zhiqiang quickly nodded and smiled at the aunt named Yang Jie.

"Hello, Director Cao, I have long admired your name!" Yang Jie also smiled and nodded, "I'm sorry for interrupting your rest by visiting here."

Cao Zhiqiang was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that when she said Director Cao, she meant the director of Hongguang Film Studio.

Although Cao Zhiqiang wears many hats, in the film and television industry, his biggest identity is actually the director of a film studio.

The identity of the director of the film studio is much more powerful than the titles of director and teacher.

Since the other party is the director, it is very appropriate to call him the director.

"What a joke." Cao Zhiqiang quickly said modestly, "Director Yang, you are older than me. You're welcome, just call me Xiao Cao."

"That's too polite." Yang Jie smiled and shook her head, "I'd better call you Factory Director Cao, more formally."

Just when Cao Zhiqiang continued to be humble, Xu Qingdong next to him became impatient: "Okay, okay, stop being respectful to each other. If you continue, it will be over."

Immediately afterwards, Xu Qingdong said to Cao Zhiqiang: "My big factory director, I will tell you the truth, I came to you this time because I really have something serious to do! This matter is about me, Senior Yang, she... In this way, let's go in."

Tell me."

"Okay, okay." Cao Zhiqiang quickly stepped aside, "Please come in, please come in!"

Soon, everyone entered the living room, and Cao Zhiqiang asked them to sit down on the sofa first.

Next, Cao Zhiqiang asked them to sit in the living room for a while while he went inside to change clothes.

After all, there is an outsider, and she is an aunt, so it would be inappropriate to continue wearing a nightgown.

When Cao Zhiqiang changed into casual clothes, washed his face, brushed his teeth, arranged his hair, and walked out again.

But he found that tea had already been brewed on the coffee table, so he went over to sit down.

No need to ask, the person making the tea must be Xu Qingdong.

Only Xu Qingdong knew where to find tea and boiling water.

After all, he had been here more than once before, so he was familiar with it.

After smiling slightly, Cao Zhiqiang went directly to his seat and sat down.

After sitting down, Cao Zhiqiang first smiled at the director Yang Jie and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect a distinguished guest to come to the door. I was actually sleeping before, which made you laugh."

Director Yang smiled: "It's nothing, I told you, it was actually us who took the liberty."

Then, she sighed and said, "Well, actually, if I had no other choice, I wouldn't have come so boldly."

As soon as he heard this, Cao Zhiqiang knew that something serious was coming.

So Cao Zhiqiang nodded calmly: "Well, can I ask, what is it? As long as I can do it, I will do my best."

"This..." Director Yang hesitated for a moment, not knowing what to say.

"Director Yang." Xu Qingdong said with a smile, "Now that we're here, let's tell the truth. Believe me, our factory director is a man of wealth, very rich, and he also has a very good knowledge and understanding of film shooting.

.

So, I think he will help you with your difficulties."

When Director Yang heard what Xu Qingdong said, he nodded, became serious again and said to Cao Zhiqiang: "Okay, in that case, I will take the liberty to speak directly.

Actually, I came here to ask for help.

Here’s the thing.”

Next, Director Yang told her about the difficulties she encountered and the help she hoped to get from Cao Zhiqiang.

Upon hearing this, Cao Zhiqiang instantly understood what she wanted to do and who she really was.

It turns out that this Yang Jie was actually the director of the famous 1986 TV series "Journey to the West" in his previous life.

She came here this time also for the filming of "Journey to the West".

According to her, she was the one who strongly advocated for the TV series "Journey to the West" because it originated from the Japanese TV series "Journey to the West".

I think back then, by an unexpected opportunity, she came into contact with the TV series transmitted from Japan, which was the Japanese version of "Journey to the West" in 1978.

She originally watched it with appreciation, but was "shocked" after watching it!

This shock is not surprise, but anger and anger!

She believes that Japan does not understand our "Journey to the West" at all and it is a complete fabrication.

Because in the Japanese version of Journey to the West, Tang Monk turned out to be a woman!

That's all. The key plot is messy and all kinds of spoof plots completely destroy the classic image of Journey to the West.

For example, in one of the plots, Tang Monk actually fell in love with a goblin and cried out that he wanted to marry the goblin. As a result, he was knocked unconscious by Sun Wukong with a stick, and then he could continue to study for scriptures in the West.

There are many other spoof plots, and Director Yang was furious when he saw them, thinking that this was simply trying to discredit Journey to the West.

Therefore, at that time, Director Yang Jie came up with the idea of ​​making an authentic Journey to the West.

She hopes to film the real Journey to the West so that people all over the world know what the real Journey to the West is like.

Later, she applied to CCTV, and CCTV approved her plan, but only gave her 3 million in funding.

This three million will not be given at once, but will be given gradually, in batches, once for each episode.

Even the cameras used for filming were very low-end, and there was only one camera.

In such a crude situation, director Yang Jie still started filming.

In fact, the money originally given by CCTV was not bad. After all, three million dollars was really a lot of money in 1982.

Even if you pay once per episode, it's still a lot.

Because even for the first episode of "The Black Chicken Country", CCTV spent 500,000 yuan at one time to film it.

At that time, this money was enough to shoot a large-scale movie.

Five hundred thousand in 1982 was worth more than ten million later.

Therefore, if Yang Jie is willing to follow Xiangjiang's example and set up a simple studio shooting, the money will be more than enough.

But director Yang Jie insisted on shooting in real scenes and had to go to the great rivers and mountains of the motherland to shoot real scenes.
