Era: Starting from Modu Translation Studio

Chapter 49 A merchant who sponsored a building

Jiang Shan finally put down the chopsticks in his hands and returned to 1958 along with Director Gu's narration.

900 yuan, 16 mm Borex, not to mention how easy it is to use. To this day, twenty years later, Gu Zhengzheng is still unforgettable.

But Jiang Shan only heard the key points: 58 years? 900 yuan?

Huang Hua shook his head: It's still second-hand.

What's this? Director Gu didn't care:

This Borex was our station's first camera, and it was of great help back then.

In 1958, Paul Lex appeared in the vast crowd. For Pujiang TV Station, which wanted nothing but nothing, it was indeed a fateful acquaintance.

In fact, the then government, Bei Caizheng, had given unprecedented support to the preparations for the establishment of Pujiang TV Station.

From the beginning of the site selection, the planners have always looked at it from a high point.

At the beginning, the tallest building in Pujiang was the International Hotel. It was the zero point of the city's measurement and was unthinkable.

The next best thing is the 19-story Yong'an Building on Nan/Jing/East Road.

However, this building is private property and must obtain the consent of the department store kings, the Kuok brothers.

Unexpectedly, the Guo brothers not only readily agreed to the request of the preparatory team, but also asked someone to bring them a message to ask if they had enough.

If that's not enough, there is a cross-street building opposite the Yong'an Building.

The preparatory team was grateful and declined again and again.

It means that not only does it not need to cross the street, but the Wing On Building only needs more than five floors.

The reason why the hardware failed to keep up was because the original broadcast date was New Year's Day in 1959.

However, when a piece of news came, all plans were disrupted.

The opposite Wanwan TV station will start broadcasting on October 10.

Therefore, several experts in Beihai Park made some calculations and concluded that National Day became an auspicious day for Pujiang TV to start broadcasting.

On National Day, the parade officially started at 10 o'clock, and the August 1st Film Studio set up a large camera on the reviewing stand,

Director Gu gestured with his hands: I pushed the camera tripod back and forth in the queue.

Some close-ups, some long-distance views. After more than two hours of walking, I was so sweaty that I almost collapsed.

It's really stressful and exciting at the same time.

I will never forget the female textile workers in the first line. They smiled and looked at my camera. They were more beautiful than flowers.

Director Gu got more and more excited as he spoke, and Jiang Shan's emotions were aroused, and he uttered Jiang Xiaobai's famous saying:

and after?

Later, Director Gu laughed:

The film was taken, but it became a problem where to get it printed. In the end, I had to go to the Second Medical College and ask the comrades who developed the X-ray films to help.

Then let me cut it, suddenly, a voice came from the table behind Director Gu.

He was the number one editor in the station and one of the members of the planning team that year.

I have just been eating and listening at the next table:

But I didn't go to the scene at all, so I cut the order in the wrong order. The female textile worker who should have been in the first team was placed at the end.

Director Gu’s emotional memory of those days aroused the memories of many old employees in the cafeteria.

Gradually, everyone gathered around.

There was a lot of chatter and excitement for a while.

Comrade, do you know how we filmed TV series back then?

Jiang Shan shook his head, he really didn't know.

The lesbian who spoke, her temples had turned white: In the first few years after the station was established, we, like Yanjing TV, were doing live broadcasts.

Jiang Shan didn't understand for a moment: Live TV series?

Yes, the lesbian nodded: The technical conditions at that time did not support recording and broadcasting. All TV series were filmed and broadcast at the same time.

Another said: Our station's first TV series Red Flame was broadcast live in the cafeteria on the 11th floor of the Yong'an Building.

Yes, yes, Director Gu smiled and nodded:

After the set was set up, the actors from the repertory troupe were performing inside, and I pushed the machine in front. The cameras at that time were very heavy and heavy, so someone had to follow behind to carry the wires.

A voice said: I am responsible for fanning.

Another voice said: I am responsible for spreading the snow.

I was the artist at that time, a gay man carrying a rice bowl squeezed in:

When I was filming this movie, I covered the windows of the cafeteria with velvet. There was a scene where workers were experimenting with electric welding, so I took a feather duster and waved it in front of the light. Suddenly the whole cafeteria was flashing.

Gong Xu is a great contributor to our station, Station Director Gu introduced to Jiang Shan and Huang Hua as soon as he saw the visitor:

When I was filming Lilies, the plot required a quilt embroidered with lilies. I searched all the shops and quilt factories in Pujiang but couldn't find it. Xu Gong stayed up all night and drew one.

That's nothing, Xu Gong said confused:

When filming Red Cloud Cliff, the newly built studio was not high enough at all, so I painted the entire cliff, mountains, rocks, pines and cypresses on the floor of the studio.

Gu Tai continued: Then the actor crawled on the ground, and I put down the camera and crawled with him. The effect of the shot should not be too good!

Cow!

Jiang Shan couldn't help but praise.

It is said that great wisdom comes from the masses, but the starting point of wisdom must come from whole-hearted love.

In such a difficult time, every step was like touching the stone.

However, in the eyes of Gu Zhengzheng's group of comrades, they are not inferior to the golden years at all.

When I think about it again, my eyes are still bright and my blood is still full of passion.

This time Jiang Shan was moved by the meticulous entrepreneurs of this era.

You know, there were only about 100 black and white TV sets in Pujiang in 1958.

Jiang Shan was moved when he suddenly found a pair of chopsticks in front of him, picking up shredded potatoes in a leisurely manner.

One root, one root,

The technique is elegant yet intellectual.

Only then did he realize that the plate of shredded potatoes on the table had been wiped out one by one by Huang Hua.

Just as Jiang Shan looked at him, Huang Hua dropped the chopsticks in his hand and clapped his hands.

It's amazing, the comrades are amazing,

Huang Hua almost burst into tears when he said:

The first camera, the first National Day documentary, the first TV series... in such a difficult environment, it was you who created each and every first.

Wow~

After Huang Hua's speech, all the young comrades in the cafeteria applauded their seniors.

Among them, Jiang Shan was photographed the most enthusiastically, with his eyes following Huang Hua, making it clear: I am applauding you.

Huang Hua nodded elegantly to him.

At this time, a young man who had just walked into the cafeteria was shocked by the scene in front of him:

What's going on? Why are you applauding after eating?

Xu Gong picked up the rice bowl again and replied: I'm late. Gu Tai was just reminiscing about our first time.

The young man immediately laughed: Oh, I know, isn't he President Ni Kesong of the United States!

Suddenly, the cafeteria was quiet, and even the chirping sound of Worker Xu disappeared.
