Chapter 144


    "Close the door!"


    "Sit down and talk!"


    The room was not big, with a single bed and a set of tables and chairs. Chen Qi sat on the chair with his legs crossed, holding a thermos cup in his hand, drinking hot water, and asked slowly: "Have you told others "?"


    "No!"


    "Then why tell me?"


    "I…"


    Li Lianjie felt awkward. He was a young talent and he was reluctant to admit that others were better than him, but he knew in his heart that the other person was indeed very powerful, so he always had a hard time with Chen Qi.


    "This matter is very complicated, let me help you sort it out."


    Chen Qi smiled and said: "If your goal is to make movies, then you have two options. One is to be in the martial arts team and make movies on the side, like now; the other is to leave the martial arts team completely. What kind of career do you want to be an actor?”


    "Second type!"


    "Then I don''t understand why you are suddenly so enthusiastic about making movies and want to sever ties with the martial arts team that gave birth to you and raised you?"


    “…”


    "You have to tell the truth, otherwise you can talk to someone else."


    Li Lianjie hesitated for a long time, then said: "Don''t look at my young age, I have won all the honors I can get. In terms of martial arts athletes, to be honest, I have nothing to pursue. If I am still in the martial arts team, it will be nothing more than Just repeat these things.


    I''m 17 years old and I have to stay for at least 8 more years. I, I can''t stand it. "


    "So you want to go to a bigger stage?" Chen Qi said.


    "Yes, I just like making movies."


    “Then do you want to shoot a movie in the Mainland or in Hong Kong?


    In the Mainland, you have to find a production studio. With your skills, you will definitely become a big star.


    When you go to Hong Kong, you have to find a company, have suitable actors and directors, and develop your own network. We are very discriminated against there. If you are lucky, you will gain both fame and fortune; if you are unlucky, you will be finished.


    The premise of all this is that the company is willing to let you go. Why do you think the sports committee will let you go? "


    "This...I didn''t think about this."


    Li Lianlian was even more depressed after hearing this. He had a lot of thoughts, but he had been trained by the system since childhood and grew up within the system, and some of his concepts were very profound. He didn''t think he could live alone without the system, but he didn''t know what to do.


    "The Sports Commission will definitely not let him go unless..."


    "Unless what?"


    "Unless there is a unit that you can talk to and asks the sports committee for someone, you can be transferred." Chen Qi said with a smile.


    Eh?


    Li Lianjie didn''t understand what he meant. He just thought he was referring to Beijing Film Studio. His eyes lit up, yes! Beijing Film Studio is very powerful, maybe they can transfer me there.


    "I understand, I will behave well!"


    Li Lianjie was happy and turned around to leave. After a pause, he came back and said, "Brother Chen... Qi! Thank you for your opinion!"


    You understand daddy!


    Chen Qi snorted. It was too early to talk about some things at this time, so he didn''t bother to talk about them.


    Historically, Li Lianlian had the idea of ??joining the film industry after filming "Shaolin Temple", but his work unit disagreed. Logically, an athlete can only announce his retirement if he is seriously injured.


    According to his own words: At that time, he thought that it would be fine if he got injured. Then during a training session, he was doing a flying movement. He got distracted and failed to follow the standards. When he landed, he heard a snap and his leg was broken.


    Whether it was "self-mutilation" or not is impossible to verify.


    Anyway, he was seriously injured. Three tendons were broken, his meniscus was removed, and he also received a "third-level disability certificate." Therefore, only Li Lianjie in "Shaolin Temple" is in the best condition, and the rest are semi-disabled.


    Now the martial arts team has nothing to do if they don''t agree, and they can''t compete.


    However, the martial arts team did not release him, and sent him out as an "expatriate laborer" to a leftist company in Hong Kong. Because "Shaolin Temple" was a hit, the leftist wanted him. The condition negotiated at that time was that for every movie he made, the leftist would give the martial arts team 50,000 yuan.


    The term is five years.


    The resources of the leftist were not good and filming was slow, so they filmed 2-3 movies for him. As soon as the contract came, Li Lianlian finally got free, but his life was tepid. His best years were wasted. He once ran away with Huang Qiuyan. Go to the United States to open a martial arts studio.


    Until Tsui Hark asked him to film "Once Upon a Time", it was already 1990, and then he became famous in the 1990s and a series of things happened afterwards.


    Li Lianjie wanted to go out at that time, mainly because he felt that the treatment was poor and the stage was small.


    He gets a subsidy of one yuan a day, while a Hong Kong extra gets fifty a day. The Hong Kong film company offers him 3 million to film a movie, but the martial arts team tells him not to take it and to come back and continue competing... It''s a simple comparison.


    Again, these actions of his are nothing, but the worshiping and fund-raising stuff he did later are the bad ones.


    Chen Qi’s arrangements for Li Lianlian are very clear:


    He must be kept within the system!


    Regardless of the method, his status and relationship must remain within the system, so that he cannot jump around. The rest, such as works, salary, fame, etc., are really trivial matters.


    …


    Using a few days at the end of the year, Chen Qi went to the south and returned to the capital immediately after finishing his work.


    Gong Xue will stay for a few more days and won''t return until after New Year''s Day. She won''t be able to go home for the Spring Festival this year. She wants to spend more time with her parents. The freedom at Beijing Film Studio is indeed much better than in the army.


    He sent the script of "The Unbridled Women of the Tang Dynasty" to Li Hanxiang. Li Hanxiang didn''t pick it up, but Shaw Brothers did and only gave him 15,000 Hong Kong dollars in remuneration. Chen Qi didn''t take it for the time being and would pick it up when he went to Hong Kong. He happened to have it. Funded.


    And he withdrew an extra 5,000 yuan and deposited it into a passbook. At the end of the year, he went home and slapped it on the table. "This is for you. There are 5,000 yuan in it."


    "How many?!"


    Yu Xiuli kept shaking her head and said: "We don''t usually need money, you can keep it yourself and save more!"


    "I have saved quite a lot, you can keep it, I will honor you. Besides, I have to spend money to build a house, so I will spend it from here. If it is not enough, I will take it out."


    After saying this, my parents accepted it.


    During the Chinese New Year and holidays, he always gave some money to his parents. This was his habit in his previous life. Many people around him did the same thing. He didn''t know about other places.


    After her son finally came back, Yu Xiuli naturally had to cook again. Chen Jianjun chatted with her in the room. The father and son were very polite. Chen Qi didn''t talk about movies, only books, and asked: "Dad, what magazines are selling best now?"


    "Literary magazine, nothing else."


    "Aren''t there any popular magazines?"


    "They are all local tabloids. They don''t get on the stage. They may sell well in the local area, but they can''t go out of the province. The only one that goes out of the province is "Story Club". I don''t know where I found two third-rate writers, named Archie and Odd.


    It specializes in novels about fighting and killing, but its circulation has been increasing steadily, exceeding 500,000 copies. "


    "It''s really no good to fight and kill, it''s too vulgar!"


    Chen Qi criticized mercilessly and said: "Dad, if I want to start a low-interest magazine, can you help me publish it?"


    “…”


    Chen Jianjun didn''t react to this contradictory and self-indulgent brain circuit for a moment. He was stunned for a while and said: "You want to start a magazine?"


    "I will finish my busy work next year, and I will take some time to write a popular genre, including martial arts, romance, detective, and thriller novels. It will be the right one for your work, but I am afraid that you will not be impartial."


    "What you''re saying is that I can''t blame my own son for being impartial. As long as you do it, I''ll go out of my way to help you issue it!" Chen Jianjun also resigned himself to it.


    While the two men were chatting, Yu Xiuli was cooking outside. It was getting cold and it would cool down after just one minute. She had to bring it in quickly after cooking.


    She was busy working inside and outside with great efficiency. When she came in again, she suddenly remembered and said: "By the way, son, there is an aunt in my work who will tell you a partner. Do you want to see it?"


    "How old?"


    "Same age as you!"


    "What about your appearance? What about your job? What about your personality? What about your salary?"


    "She works in a factory. She''s pretty and has a good temper. Her salary is only about thirty yuan."


    "Oh~ my dear mother!"


    Chen Qi changed the aria''s translation tone and said: "Do you think your son is not successful enough? Do you think I am suitable to meet such a person? I am so sad!"


    "Stop your tongue and speak!"


    Yu Xiuli thought about it and said, "That''s right. You can''t just look for me now. I will go back tomorrow. I will ask them to introduce me less in the future. Can anyone like my son?"


    "That''s right, it''s better to find a daughter of a senior cadre!" Chen Jianjun agreed.


    hehe!


    Chen Qi curled his lips, a lot of the children of high officials were killed.


    Especially for a young and beautiful person like me, if I really want to meet a **** and open-minded senior official, dance with her, and even warm the bed, my dear, why should I write a song "Tears Behind Bars" in prison?


    Besides, the children of high-ranking cadres don’t know whether they look good or not, huh? Chang''e is not bad...


    The family had a meal.


    In the evening, neighbors used to gather and watch the 12-inch black and white TV.


    Chen Qi didn''t like going home in the first place, so he became even more disgusted when he saw this. Considering his parents'' face, he had to entertain them with a smile. Watching TV these days is very Western style, because there are few domestic dramas and only imported foreign dramas.


    For example, "Garrison Suicide Squad" was not released until it was finished due to its violent content.


    What everyone is watching now is "The Man from the Bottom of the Atlantic", an American science fiction drama that tells the story of a guy who comes from the underwater world to human society. The electronic watch and toad mirror in it are all the rage.


    "This scene is really beautiful to watch. What do you think Americans think?"


    "The United States also learned from us. Isn''t it the underwater world? The Dragon King of the Four Seas existed hundreds of years ago."


    "Hey! Then why didn''t we make one? What is it called?"


    "Science fiction drama!"


    "Oh, yes, a science fiction drama! Xiao Chen, when will you write a science fiction drama to win glory for us?"


    "Okay, I''ll write one if I get a chance!"


    Chen Qi agreed, taking it as a courtesy.


    It was late at night, and the neighbors reluctantly left. He finally calmed down and lay on the small bed in the outhouse. He didn''t want his parents to live in the courtyard in Lechunfang. He felt that there was no private space, so he planned to change his parents'' house in a few years. Building.


    The sound of the radio came from the back room again, and the countdown began. In the blink of an eye, it was New Year. He sighed:


    "Time is indeed like a wild ass, it''s only been two years since it was just over one hundred and forty chapters!"
