Chapter 150 This Spring Festival Gala is a bit too bold (asking for monthly votes)
At the Beijing Hotel, Manager Qi arranged a vacant suite for them for Li Changhe's sake and gave them the right to use it for one hour.

Because in an hour, Wu Xiaoyu and the others have to come back to clean as there will be guests checking in at noon.

However, Li Changhe didn't actually spend that much time in this room. This room was mainly used by him and Zhu Lin to take photos.

Under the filming of Zhang Yimou and Gu Changwei, the progress was actually very fast.

Because the most time-saving thing in this process is putting on makeup.

Basically, I just change my clothes and start shooting, and it’s very quick.

However, the plan to shoot the hotel gate was terminated by Gu Changwei.

"Changhe, I just went down to check. There were too many people at the door, so it was difficult to take a picture of your encounter."

"I have an idea. Let Zhu Lin stop wearing cheongsam and wear military uniform instead. Then you two can switch your eras."

"You use the white suit and let her use the green uniform."

"Because her hair is a problem, she can't have the same hairstyle as before."

Gu Changwei spoke seriously to Li Changhe at this time.

Li Changhe looked at Zhu Lin.

Zhu Lin nodded: "I have a green military uniform, but it's at home. We have to go home to get it."

"It's okay. I've discussed it with Yimou. We're going to shoot at Peking University instead of here."

"Let's set the scene of the return at Peking University, at the west gate of Peking University. Let's go there."

"Row!"

Afterwards, the group rushed to Peking University. Li Changhe and Zhu Lin went back home, helped Zhu Lin change clothes, and then came to Peking University.

There were not many people on the Peking University campus at this time, but there were still some, because some students did not go home even during the Chinese New Year.

"What happened to the two of you?"

When Li Changhe and Zhu Lin arrived, they saw Gu Changwei and Zhang Yimou arguing again, and Li Changhe immediately asked Xie Yuan.

Xie Yuan smiled and explained to Li Changhe: "They were arguing about how to shoot it."

Li Changhe went over to listen and quickly understood.

What Zhang Yimou meant was actually to have two people walk over from both sides and then meet under the sign at the west gate, with the green military uniform and the white suit corresponding to each other, and take a photo.

However, Gu Changwei did not approve of this method. What he wanted was for Zhu Lin to slowly open the west gate of Peking University, and then standing outside the west gate would be Li Changhe.

In this way, Zhu Lin's face is shown directly, while Li Changhe's back is photographed.

"Actually, if you ask me, I still think that Lao Gu's idea is better, because the suit does not need to face the front, but only needs to have a meaning. The same goes for the green military uniform. It is better to open the door than to meet it head-on."

Li Changhe said seriously.

That was exactly what happened in 1979. The authorities opened a door for peaceful return.

"Take a picture of both and look at them later. I'll take a few more pictures of you two anyway."

At this time, Gu Changwei waved his hand and said proudly.

Today they brought two cameras, both with color film, as Gu Changwei eventually abandoned black and white film.

Of course, Li Changhe also paid for the film, after all, color film is not cheap nowadays.

After the filming, Li Changhe generously treated several people to a meal.

Although they were taking photos for Gu Changwei's final assignment, except for the one for his return, the others were all photos of Li Changhe and Zhu Lin. For some of the photos, Gu Changwei even had to help them develop large copies of them and put them at home.

After dinner, several people dispersed. Gu Changwei and Zhang Yimou took a car back to develop photos, while Xie Yuan returned to Xiaoxitian.

Li Changhe and Zhu Lin also returned home. After a busy day, they were both tired.

Two days later, Li Changhe and Zhu Lin went to Zhuxinzhuang and finally saw the completed film.

As expected, the photo of Zhu Lin wearing military uniform and opening the door to see Li Changhe was more touching than the photo of the two people facing each other taken by Zhang Yimou.

Gu Changwei happily chose this photo as his graduation work, and fortunately he printed two copies.

Then the rest were handed over to Li Changhe and Zhu Lin, including several large photos, but of course only photos.

Li Changhe and his friends had to buy the photo frames themselves.

After handing in the homework, Gu Changwei had to take a bus home with Zhang Yimou.

Beijing Film Academy also had holidays at this time. For example, Zhu Lin had been on holiday for several days after finishing his exams.

After seeing off Gu Changwei and Zhang Yimou, Li Changhe and Zhu Lin went to Wangfujing Department Store to buy photo frames.

The reason for coming here was because Li Changhe had seen it before. There were many kinds of photo frames here, and there were also porcelain photo frames specifically for export for sale, but the quantity was very small.

Wangfujing Department Store of this era can be said to be one of the largest and most comprehensive department stores in China.

Some items intended for export will also be sold in this store, and no tickets are required, but the prices are high.

After returning home and putting the photos into photo frames, Li Changhe found some nails and started hammering them into the wall, then hung the photo frame.

"This is the right thing!"

Looking at the hung photo frames of the two people, Li Changhe nodded with satisfaction.

"When we can take wedding photos in two years, we will go take another set of wedding photos. They will look better that way!"

Li Changhe said with a smile.

"You mean, the Western wedding dresses in the movies?"

"You really dare to think!"

Zhu Lin had never seen a wedding dress before. After all, from the 1950s to the 1970s, wedding dresses were almost never seen in China.

But now, they have watched so many movies in the film academy, both Eastern and Western, and Zhu Lin is no longer unfamiliar with some of them.

"What's there to be afraid of? Just watch, it will be released soon. We can go to Hong Kong Island."

"When the time comes, whether it's a wedding dress or a phoenix coronet, we can get one set."

Li Changhe said seriously.

The situation in China is too exaggerated, he can go to Hong Kong Island.

Thinking about the extremely luxurious Chinese weddings in later generations, Li Changhe really planned to give his wife one.

"In fact, as long as you are always by my side, it is better than any phoenix crown and bridal robe."

At this time, Zhu Lin suddenly moved closer to Li Changhe's arms and whispered sweet words to him.

Hearing this, Li Changhe looked at his charming daughter-in-law.

Can you still hold it in at this time?
When Shen Yuxiu came back, Zhu Lin had just come out of the bathroom after taking a shower.

"Hey, you two are at home."

"You're taking a shower in broad daylight?"

Shen Yuxiu was a little surprised.

Li Changhe came out of the house at this time and said with a smile: "She was tired after going shopping in the morning, so she took a shower when she came back."

"Well, is this the photo frame you bought? It's really nice."

"By the way, Changhe, tell me about your sister later."

"You mean my sister?"

"What are you talking about my sister?"

Li Changhe was a little puzzled. Why did he criticize Li Xiaojun for no reason?

"Your sister is so stubborn that she insists on going back to the Northeast for the New Year."

"You have to talk about her, don't you?"

Li Changhe sighed when he heard this.

"If she wants to go back, then she can go back. You are a married daughter, not a live-in son-in-law. If they don't mind the trouble, they can go back if they want."

"Mom, I also think it's good to go back. If you don't return home when you are rich and powerful, it's like walking in the night in fine clothes." "My eldest sister is a college student now. She is different from before."

"We have suffered injustice in the past, and now that our family is back, we can be considered to be returning home in glory."

Zhu Lin also said this at this time.

Shen Yuxiu nodded helplessly: "I guess that girl has the same idea, thinking about showing off when she goes back."

"It's so tiring to take the train back now, especially with a child."

"She doesn't mind the hassle, so she can reply if she wants."

Li Changhe said with a smile.

No matter what Li Xiaojun and Chen Aiguo discussed, since the two of them planned to go back, Li Changhe would not stop them.

"Okay, your dad said the same thing."

She originally wanted to find some support from her son, but in the end no one supported her.

Li Changhe and Zhu Lin's leisurely days lasted only a few days, and then the two of them started to get busy.

Because I have to help director Yang Jie prepare for the Spring Festival Gala.

Although Director Yang Jie is not the main director but only the second director, she is responsible for a lot of things.

This was the first time that Li Changhe had entered the great hall on the ten-mile-long street, even in his past and present lives combined.

Although this year's Spring Festival Gala will be broadcast on New Year's Eve, it will be a recorded broadcast and cannot be broadcast live.

They actually have to finish recording in advance, and this also requires unavoidable rehearsals.

In fact, Li Changhe was quite curious about the scale of this year's Spring Festival Gala. After all, although the reform was announced at the meeting before the New Year, the Spring Festival Gala still had such a big scale, with ballroom dancing and bullfighting dancing, which was very bold to be honest.

However, when he learned the identity of the evening party's main director Deng Zaijun, he understood why the scale was so large.

Because director Deng Zaijun’s husband’s surname is Zhou.

I don’t dare to say much about other things, but the director only found out her husband’s true identity after she married him.

Therefore, in this year's Spring Festival Gala, Sister Deng from the Women's Federation, who is also her and her husband's aunt, will also attend the event in person.

Knowing this relationship, Li Changhe understood why this Spring Festival Gala was so avant-garde. Even his aunt was present, so who would dare to gossip?
"Linlin, you stay here and take charge of these dance groups. We will rehearse a little while later. There will be group ballroom dancing. When I call them to go on stage, you will take them on stage."

"Remember, let Gai Xiaoling jump in the middle and don't stand in the wrong position."

Director Yang Jie gave instructions to Zhu Lin at this time.

The reason why Gai Xiaoling was asked to dance in the middle was not only because she danced well, but most importantly, she danced boldly and the ballroom dance partner she chose was a gay man.

That's why she was placed in the C position.

Others like Gong Xue only dared to dance with female comrades, so Gong Xue pulled Zhu Lin to dance with her.

Most gay men dance with other gay men, and very few dare to dance with the opposite sex.

As for Li Changhe, he was just a spectator and he couldn't dance.

Moreover, he did not want to go on record as doing something that would go down in history.

So Li Changhe sat in the audience and acted as a serious audience member.

In fact, there was no skits like those of later generations in the entire evening party. The skit performance form only became popular after Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao performed it.

However, as a traditional art, there is crosstalk, and the person who performs crosstalk is none other than the ancestor of the future ancestor of Deyun Club.

Hou Yaowen and Shi Fukuan are a pair of partners.

Both of them are now in their thirties, so what they talk about is quite interesting.

When Li Changhe saw this, he was wondering whether Shi Fukuan had accepted Uncle Qian as his wife now.

No, according to Li Changhe’s current age, he can openly call his son Qian’er from now on!
As for the little black fat guy, Li Changhe knew that he probably hadn't entered the capital yet.

After the crosstalk, there was no ballroom dancing, but a light melody, a ballet melody, and then a group of men and women started dancing.

But what they danced was not ballet, but a kind of Latin dance, the Spanish bullfighting dance.

This type of dance, in this era, is actually more open and bold than ballroom dancing.

What's more, these dancers were wearing tight clothes. Li Changhe was thoughtful when he saw this.

Then came the group ballroom dance. When the music started, the whole venue turned into a dance hall. Gai Xiaoling, wearing a tight sweater, danced with her partner in the middle like elves.

Of course, Li Changhe was not interested in looking at her, he was looking for his wife.

At this moment, Zhu Lin was dancing beside Gong Xue.

Not to mention, both of them had pretty standard moves and danced really well.

After the rehearsal was over, Zhu Lin took Gong Xue and came to Li Changhe.

"How was it? The party was pretty good, wasn't it?"

"That's good, but I think there's one thing that might not be appropriate. Let's ask Teacher Yang about it."

Li Changhe said thoughtfully at this time.

"Not suitable?"

Zhu Lin was a little surprised. She thought the whole party was pretty good.

Soon, Li Changhe brought Zhu Lin to director Yang Jie.

"Teacher Yang"

"It's Changhe. How about it? What do you think of our party?"

Yang Jie asked with a smile at this time.

Li Changhe nodded and smiled and said, "Overall it is bold and novel, and it does have a new look."

"But Mr. Yang, I just found a small problem. I don't know if you have considered it."

Li Changhe hesitated for a moment and said hesitantly.

"Small problem? Well, you say!"

When Yang Jie heard Li Changhe raise the question, she looked at Li Changhe seriously.

Li Changhe said seriously: "It's a problem with the bullfighting dance. Teacher Yang, the performers of the bullfighting dance all wear close-fitting dance costumes. The dance costumes are actually very blurry when they are far away."

"Of course, it's easy to watch it live. What I mean is, have you ever thought about watching it on TV?"

"I'm talking about black and white TV."

Li Changhe gave a subtle reminder, and Director Yang Jie's expression suddenly changed.

Indeed, if you watch this kind of tight dance costume on a black and white TV, one situation is very likely to occur.

That is, it looks like it's the same as if you're not wearing anything!

"Wait a minute, I'll go talk to Director Deng!"

Afterwards, Yang Jie left in a hurry. A few minutes later, she and another female director hurried over.

Director Deng is actually younger than Director Yang Jie and has a plumper face.

But at this moment, her plump face was full of solemnity.

"Old Deng, he is Li Changhe, and the question just now was what he thought of."

"Are you Comrade Li Changhe? I have to thank you for thinking of a key point for us."

"If you hadn't reminded us, we would have really ignored this problem."

Director Deng said solemnly to Li Changhe.

Like Yang Jie, she has been a director for decades. Once they think about the problem Li Changhe mentioned, they will know that this situation is very likely to occur on black and white televisions.

The dancers' tights will be blurred, and it will look like they are dancing naked.

If this were to be broadcasted at that time, it would be a major broadcasting accident.
