A farewell party is being held in the small auditorium of Beijing Television Art Center.

Li Hong officially retired and left this place where she had worked for more than ten years. She was the first leader of the center and the founder of the company.

Lin Zixuan and Mu Shanshan were sitting in the auditorium, with Feng Xiaogang, Ge You, Zhang Guoli, Zhao Baogang and others beside them.

Many cast and crew members who came from the Art Center came on the scene. In the past ten years, the center has trained a large number of professional film and television production personnel and produced many celebrities.

It can be said that the Art Center has led and witnessed the development process of the Chinese TV drama industry.

The auditorium was filled with stars, comparable to the Oriole Awards ceremony.

The successor leader of the Art Center originally wanted to do a bigger job, but Li Hong did not agree. She was about to retire and didn't care about those stupid forms.

It’s great to meet and chat together.

Although she thought so, others could not do this, otherwise there would be suspicion of disrespect for the old leader.

Finally, I decided to hold a farewell party in this small auditorium, talk about the past and recall the past, and put a perfect end to Li Hong's work in the Art Center.

An employee on the stage who followed Li Hong in the early days was recalling the hardships of starting a business.

"At the beginning, there was no office in the center, so we were dealing with it at China Television Station. Several people were crowded together, and they could meet each other when they turned around and had to grab the equipment. At that time, the shooting equipment was tight and China Television Station was not rich. So we still shot "The Story of the Editorial Department." The old employee told the story.

There was warm applause in the auditorium.

Ten years, it is not long or short. As a new attempt to separate production and broadcasting of Chinese TV stations, Li Hong founded the Art Center with one million.

It cannot be said that it is poor, but the conditions are indeed difficult.

With insufficient production funds, more than a dozen people, a shabby van, and a studio in cold winter and hot summer, filmed classic TV series one by one.

Some of the people back then left, some retired, and their memories were sealed and no longer alive.

"Later, the center moved to Sijiqing Commune and rented a yard with two rows of small bungalows. Because the yard was small, the coal blocks for boilers were piled on the aisle between the two rows of bungalows in winter. They had to walk sideways, and accidentally touched the coal ash." The old employee recalled, "Now our conditions are much better. We built an office building, divided the houses, and replaced the machines. I really don't dare to think about it."

Their generation of TV people belong to the generation of pioneering land and endure hardships.

Now that domestic TV series have entered its prosperous period, they have retired and have not caught up with the good times, it can be said that they have experienced the best time.

Although the production conditions are good and the funds are sufficient, there are also many bad movies.

When there is no money, both the crew and the actors will prepare carefully and cannot afford to waste it.

A script is polished countless times and strives for excellence without any on-site changes. The actors rehearse day and night just to have the best state in real time.

At that time, actors were fighting each other, competing with each other, being lazy, and not well prepared, would be looked down upon.

Times are different now.

From "hard work and simplicity" to "everything is about money", the market economy has changed people's values. In this environment, everyone's mentality has naturally changed.
