Since 1983

"Hutong Family" has attracted a total of 150,000 sponsors, and Yili contributed 100,000.

A sponsorship of 150,000 yuan is very funny in later generations, but it is not a small amount now. The budget of the whole show was only over 400,000 yuan, a third more than that.

However, Xu Fei later learned that the daily turnover of Yili Fast Food Restaurant can reach 6,000 to 7,000 yuan, and the annual turnover can reach as high as 2 million, which is a miracle given the consumption level in the 1980s.

The screenwriters were extremely responsible to the sponsor and immediately revised it.

Bai Fendou's ideals in life have changed from two to three: to be an actor, to find true love, and to have a good meal in Yili.

Western-style rice bowls require two plates, eat one plate and throw the other away, that's it.

In addition, Li Jianqun quickly agreed to play the role, and also served as the costume design for Bai Fendou and Tao Bei. There is no objection from the whole group. His resume is on display. If he can paint a mural for the Great Hall of the People, what else can he say?

In mid-May, Daju Hutong.

No. 26 is used as the filming location, and the layout has already been completed. All the illegal buildings were demolished, and then re-built illegally. A kitchen was built here, a pigeon cage was built there, and two shacks were built there.

Green vines were hung on one wall, and morning glories were blooming, and a circle was built with broken bricks at the bottom, and two wooden blocks were placed outside. On the serious wooden pier, you can still see the annual rings.

This is the smallest bourgeois place in the courtyard, mainly for Bai Fendou to fall in love with.

The remaining space was expanded as much as possible to reserve a shooting location.

To the east of No. 26, there is a moon gate, which is No. 28. I just cleaned up the tatters and looked at the open space. The old house has new windows, and there are a few wooden beds and a simple stove inside.

In the largest room, three old craftsmen stepped on the sewing machines, sewing clothes with a click. Liang Tian helped to find it. Xu Fei, a retired employee of the No. 8 Garment Factory, invited him to come over and bring his own sewing machine. It costs 60 yuan a month.

On the other side, Li Jianqun was measuring Liu Bei.

"Height 170, leg length 104."

"Waist 60..."

Li Jianqun swallowed the other two figures, and said: "Your proportions are very good, you don't look thin, and you are taller and rounder. Sit down, and I will measure your feet."

"Foot, you also measure your feet?"

Liu Bei took off his shoes and sat on the chair anxiously.

Li Jianqun didn't dislike it, so he measured it again, "Your ankles are beautiful, you should focus on them."

"There's also the neck, which isn't long enough, so it's best to cover it up." Xu Fei gestured beside him.

"Well, the collarbone is also a bit short, and I will study it later...Mr. Ge You, it's your turn."

"Hey!"

Ge You Mao came over and stood up with a snap, as if standing in a military posture. As a result, the two of them didn't measure the size, so they just stood there to discuss.

"I mean, to have the typical characteristics of the underachievers in the big cities, can you get a white jumper and cut it short at the bottom..."

Xu Fei scratched his stomach, "The clothes are one size smaller, the pants are one size smaller, the sneakers are worn out, and he wears a three-hand electronic watch."

"Want a hat?"

"No hat, his hairstyle will stand on its own."

"Is that a suit of clothes?"

"This is the basic attire. There may be opportunities for development in the future, but at least not this year."

"..."

The two studied seriously, Ge You stared wide-eyed, are you speaking human language?

Liu Bei almost burst out laughing.

After a long time of tossing, Xu Fei let the two of them go back, and took her to visit the set, "This is an exterior scene, and the indoor scene is set up on a basketball court of the XX army. Now we are waiting for the script... Oh, yes, you finished watching it." How does the script feel?"

"Felt cheated, but really well written."

Li Jianqun smiled and asked, "Did you hire those masters personally, or did the crew find them?"

"I hired it personally. How to put it this way, it is equivalent to contracting it from me."

"oh."

As soon as she talked about contracting, she understood. Take part of the costume fee, and he will be responsible for the styling of the hero and heroine. If there is too much, he will not make up, and the rest will be considered surplus.

The form was very novel, but because the amount was small, Li Mu didn't care.

Li Jianqun looked at the three master craftsmen, they were already working, what were they doing? Naturally doing private work for someone.

Of course she wouldn't say it out loud, so she went back into the room and said, "Bai Fendou is relatively simple, let's design his first. There are very few pullovers in China, and they usually have this style."

With just a few strokes, she drew a hoodie with an elasticated neckline.

"The style is fine, but it needs to be old, like a nine-legged sweater. I want to use this pattern, beatnik, underachiever."

"Isn't this a group of people who are anti-traditional and anti-cultural?"

"Um?"

Xu Fei was surprised immediately, maybe his expression was too obvious, Li Jianqun was a little embarrassed, "I read a book that a friend bought from Hong Kong."

"Oh. Just because it's anti-traditional, it's interesting to put it on Bai Fendou, especially since he doesn't understand what it means, so it's even more interesting."

"Are you talking about tongue twisters?" Li Jianqun laughed.

"I can't help it, I'm naturally quick-spoken."

He said modestly, "The top is just like this, and the trousers and shoes are also easy. We have winter scenes, and a military coat is enough. The main one is Tao Bei. Now there are 20 episodes of the script. I plan to let her change her look every episode, spring and summer. There are autumn and winter, all kinds of styles are required, this will trouble you.

By the way, this is what I usually think about, please take a look. "

He took out a stack of sketches, and Li Jianqun took a look:

One is a small khaki suit with a spotted long skirt with suspenders.

One set is a pink and white fine plaid shirt with jeans.

A set is a white short-sleeved T with the most popular black bloomers now.

One set is a black wide shoulder strap vest, which is also very popular with carrot pants.

One set is a striped shirt with overalls.

"..."

Li Jianqun's eyes lit up after reading a piece of clothing. These clothes all have shadows on the market, but he has made improvements and re-matched them.

At first glance, it looks weird, like a suit with a long skirt, and a vest with carrot pants... But if you taste it carefully, and then think about Liu Bei's temperament, the taste will come out immediately.

"Look here..."

She was also polite in her comments, pointing to the sleeves of the plaid shirt, "Wouldn't it be better to roll up the cuffs, pull them up, and add two buttons for decoration?"

"Striped shirt, Liu Bei may look fat in it, try plain color, the sleeves are big and the neckline is wide, and it will be erratic when you walk."

"Well, great neckline!"

Xu Fei likes it.

Perhaps "Tang Minghuang" and "Wu Zetian" are too impressive, and they mistakenly think that she is only good at ancient costumes, but she is not. To study fine arts, you must learn the overall aesthetic feeling. It is impossible to learn from ancient costumes and modern ones, but there is no chance to display them.

"Your six sets are all good. I measured Liu Bei just now, and I kept thinking of an oil painting of a gypsy woman. The headscarf and skirt are so beautiful, but they need to be changed..."

As Li Jianqun said, he leaned over a broken table and began to draw, like a hungry person jumping on the bread.

"The original gypsy style is too fancy, and the colors overlap too much. It's better to keep it simple."

"Well, their lace is also very complicated, and the neckline is a bit exposed, so you have to shrink it in."

"The waist can be a little thinner. Let Liu Beile stretch it. Anyway, I will only wear it for one episode. If it is not thin, it will not look good."

"By the way, what fabrics are you going to use for these clothes?" Li Jianqun suddenly raised his head.

"Look at the price, if it's cheap, it's cheap, if it's not cheap, it's mid-range."

When it comes to fabrics, he gets a headache. The high-end fabrics are scary expensive, and the cheap ones are really cheap, like the lowest-end white gray cloth, which only costs a few dollars to make a suit.

The sewing machine was rattling, and the two of them were in the big empty room, researching and revising over and over again.

Xu Fei thought that he was a workaholic, but he didn't expect the other party to be even stronger. He was really hungry.

"You add floral flowers to your belt, don't you think it's repetitive?"

"You didn't see that these are two colors, how can it be repeated?"

"Do you think different colors make differences?"

"you……"

Li Jianqun couldn't help laughing, "Okay, let's not argue about this first, or we won't be able to finish even one item today."

"Continue? My master has already rested, do you want something to eat?" Xu Fei rubbed his stomach.

"I can't stop now."

Fine.

Teacher Xu shrugged, ran to a small restaurant nearby, and came back with a tray after a while.

"time to eat!"

"How did you bring it back?"

"I can't eat alone, come on, I have to send it back after eating."

Two bowls of rice, one plate of fried meat, one plate of scrambled eggs, and two bottles of Arctic Ocean soda.

Li Jianqun held his rice in one hand and stared at the drawing, "I changed it again, I don't want the broken flowers at all, how about getting some hand-knotted string knots to hang around my waist?"

"Okay, how about hanging a bell?"

"Let's see the effect of the bell. Anyway, you can pick it up and use it... This one is finished. I just remembered a winter coat, which is very suitable for Liu Bei."

"Well, Liu Bei must be red in a coat, neither red nor coquettish!"

"That's called coquettish."

It took a long time until the two of them finished their meal, but they didn't return it to others, so the restaurant they set up ran over to ask for it.

I don't know how long it took, while Xu Fei was drawing a draft, he suddenly felt that the light had dimmed, only to realize that it was almost evening. He got up and moved a few times, walked over there and said:

"The masters have worked hard and are off work today."

"well."

The three old men happily left. They can still earn money after retirement. Everyone loves to do it.

"Okay, let's go too, it's getting dark."

"Um."

Li Jianqun finished the last stroke, stood up, and then softened down again. She tapped on her thigh and showed her white teeth in a smile: "The leg is numb."

Slowing down, Xu Fei put away the drawing paper, locked the door and went out.

The shade of the trees in the alley made it even darker. Men and women came back from get off work, smoke from the kitchen, yelling and cursing mixed together.

"I'll see you off."

"No, I'll just take the bus."

"The station is quite far away. If something happens to you, I can't take responsibility."

When Xu Fei stepped into the car, Li Jianqun hesitated for a moment, thanked him, and carefully sat in the back seat.

All the way without talking, I arrived at the guest house opposite Beijing and Taiwan.

"I've worked hard today, how much time will I have tomorrow?"

"Well, you worked hard too..."

"Well, let's not leave you, my ears are covered with calluses."

Teacher Xu finally couldn't help it, and interrupted: "You call me Xu Fei, Xiao Xu, you can do whatever you want, but please don't, I thought I was a senior."

"Then, thank you for sending me back, I'll go up first."

Li Jianqun smiled, wiped the mole away with the corner of his lips, turned and went upstairs.
