Chapter 181 Special arrangements


    Um?


    Wang Yang couldn''t help but be startled when he heard what the other party said. He was just arguing with China Film for the distribution rights. He didn''t want to make the other party disappear. Even a fool knows it''s impossible! But his momentum should not be weak, he slapped the table and said: "Withdraw it, withdraw it! You said it yourself, don''t go back on it!"


    "We said it ourselves, that''s what we meant, we petitioned ourselves!"


    The representatives of China Film and Television Film Group Corporation are like a broken pot, broken and broken.


    The two sides argued back and forth for a while, but the leader of the Ministry of Culture stopped him in time: "Okay, okay, what will it look like in front of Mr. Liao? Don''t be afraid of making people laugh. This is our internal matter. Don''t talk about it today." "


    Leaders are more rational.


    China Film is a department-level unit that has had distribution power for decades. Does that mean it can be withdrawn at any time? It needs approval from the central government.


    And if China Film Group is really removed, what will happen to the mess left behind? How will the original employees be arranged, and who will the distribution rights be given to? Leave it to the studios? That’s not called reform pilot, that’s called bold and bold move forward... What else should I write next? Who can bear the responsibility in the future?


    The leader maintained order and asked: "Is there anything else?"


    Seeing silence everywhere, he said: "Okay, let''s get to the main topic of today''s meeting, Mr. Liao?"


    “…”


    Mr. Liao nodded, moved his rich body forward, and said: "I have listened to the opinions of all parties during this period, and added my own point of view to briefly talk.


    Although China Film made mistakes this time, it still played a positive role on the whole. The domestic film system is complete and has been running for decades, so it should not act rashly. However, China Film’s overseas performance really needs to be reviewed. I heard that there is a joke that has been spread in the industry? "


    He looked at the leader of the Ministry of Culture, who said awkwardly: "Yes, it''s the one who said, ''You guys who have been making movies for decades are not as good as a big bowl of tea seller''!"


    "Haha! Even though it''s a joke, it also illustrates some problems!"


    Mr. Liao knocked on the table and said: "I looked at your results. In three years, we made more than 2 million US dollars in foreign exchange. The average sales of each film are only a few thousand dollars. The total is not as good as other people''s movies.


    Of course, today is not a criticism meeting, but since you are not capable enough, you must give others a chance.


    "Tai Chi" has performed well overseas. Comrade Wang Yang and Comrade Fu Qi unanimously affirmed Chen Qi''s ability. At the time of national reform, it is necessary to promote talents in an eclectic way and give young people a stage to show off. "


    Mr. Liao paused, glanced around, and continued: "First of all, on behalf of the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office and the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office, I support the outward development of the domestic film industry and establish closer cooperative relationships with Hong Kong companies and overseas markets.


    There are more than 800,000 overseas Chinese in the United States and more than 20 million overseas Chinese in the world. This is a force that cannot be ignored and a potential audience for movies overseas. We must mobilize their enthusiasm to support Chinese films.


    Now that Comrade Chen Qi has gained a successful experience, we might as well see what achievements he can make in the future. We need to manage in the general direction, relax in the small direction, restrain in general, and open up in detail.


    For example, in terms of transportation, left-wing companies in Hong Kong have always been relatively free to travel to and from the mainland. However, it is very troublesome for mainland China to go to Hong Kong, and it is even more troublesome to go abroad. It is best to simplify the process for some people and make things easier. "


    He did not make a long speech, but briefly mentioned it, and then said: "You guys should study the regulations and come up with it. I have a meeting, so I''ll take my leave now."


    Everyone sent Duke Liao off respectfully, and for a moment, an undercurrent surged in their hearts.


    According to the terms of reference, Mr. Liao cannot manage this area, but his ability to be the coordinator has already made clear what the big bosses mean. Mr. Liao made it very clear: first, Chen Qi must be given the right to film; second, he must be given overseas distribution rights; third, he must strengthen ties with Hong Kong.


    The superiors regarded him as a pilot, which should be small rather than large, and only targeted at individuals, not groups.


    This is a royal charter, Wei Zhongxian in the film industry, Nine Thousand Years Old in the literary and art world!


    Now the film system is not under the control of radio and television, but under the control of the Ministry of Culture. In the end, it has to fall on the Ministry of Culture. The leadership does not matter. If Chen Qi fails, he does not have to take responsibility. If Chen Qi succeeds, he also deserves credit.


    "According to Mr. Liao''s opinion, let''s study it!"


    With clear guidance, specific research is convenient.


    There were two ideas, one was to establish a public institution and the other was to establish a company. Finally, I decided to establish a company, which would be more flexible.


    Don’t think that the concept of companies did not exist in China at this time. It existed during the Republic of China, but they were all state-owned enterprises. It was not until 1984 that Dalian Guangcai Industrial Co., Ltd. obtained its first private license for color photography business.


    This company alarmed the top leadership at the time and was specially approved by the State Council. Yes, it required special approval from the State Council.


    The nature is the same as Chen Qi, it is also a "pilot".


    The emergence of a large-scale wave of private companies will have to wait until the early 1990s. Wang Yang''s enthusiasm surged up again, and he argued that Beijing Film Studio must be involved. His full support for Chen Qi does not mean giving up the interests of the factory, which would make him a saint.


    Because it is necessary to give Chen Qi the right to film, but it is impossible to open a separate studio for him, and he has to cooperate with the studio. It will only increase his voice and let him lead a movie by himself.


    Then the company''s functions, affiliated units, finance, profit distribution, etc. were discussed and a charter was submitted to Mr. Liao, which was revised and studied, so I won''t go into details again.


    …


    noon.


    The Tongzi Building was a little quiet. Those who were supposed to be working were eating in the canteen, but Gong Xue was busy in the corridor, making a plate of stir-fried meat and a cabbage stewed with potatoes, which he served in a big bowl and carefully brought into the room.


    Chen Qi lay carelessly on her bed, flipping through a book and saying, "Is the food ready? Serve the rice to the master!"


    "Just by saying this, sir, you will be arrested and criticized!"


    Gong Xue rolled her eyes at him, filled two bowls of rice and placed them on the small table. She sat on the low stool and asked him to sit on the sofa. Chen Qi rolled down, looked at it, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, it''s the first time I''ve eaten the food you cooked. Didn''t you put any sugar in it?"


    "What do you think!"


    "That means I didn''t add it. I can''t figure out how to eat cabbage stewed potatoes with sugar?"


    Chen Qi tasted a few mouthfuls and commented carefully: "The potatoes were stewed for just the right time, and the cabbage was soft. Even though there was a little too much soy sauce, it still tasted delicious and could be eaten... How are you living here? Are you used to living here?" "


    "It''s good. It''s clean and comfortable. It''s more comfortable than a guest house. It''s just that sometimes at night..."


    She shook her head shyly and did not continue. She kept picking up food for him and said, "If you don''t like eating in the canteen from now on, just come to my place to eat. I didn''t have the conditions in the army before, but I actually like to cook."


    "You must be good at southern food. I''m not used to it."


    "Then what do you like to eat? I''ll learn how to make it."


    "Guobao Pork, Twice-cooked Pork, Squirrel Mandarin Fish, Roast Duck, Fried Tomato Box, Bergamot Cabbage, Super Seaview Buddha Jumping Over the Wall!"


    Gong Xue paused his bowl and said angrily: "I only earn a few taels of meat coupons a month, where can I get them for you? You are such a coward!"


    "I provide the ingredients, I can buy them...but to be honest, this house is too small. When my house is built, you can go and have a look, and it doesn''t matter if you stay overnight."


    "I''m not going to live there!"


    "Then I''m so scared when I''m alone. What if there''s a ghost in the middle of the night?"


    "I''m not going anyway..."


    Gong Xue used chopsticks to eat the rice in the bowl. The woman next door''s scream suddenly came to his mind again, and his thoughts spread instantly. Is that kind of thing really so interesting? Just a few days after moving here, I have already heard it twice.


    Each time is not short, lasting about twenty minutes.


    After eating, Gong Xue walked him to the door and said: "What do you want to eat next time, tell me in advance."


    "I can only come here to eat. I can''t come at ordinary times?" Chen Qi said with a smile.


    "You know what you''re asking! Anyway, don''t come here at night and let people make irresponsible remarks... Okay, let''s go, I''m still cleaning the house, you''ve made a mess." Gong Xue chased people away with a broom.


    Hey, what a woman who lives her life!


    Chen Qi wandered away. The spring scenery of the capital was full of life. The big willow trees in the factory had all taken out their branches and the winter jasmine flowers were blooming.


    As soon as he reached the main building, Wang Yang shouted from upstairs: "Xiao Chen! Where did you go? Come up quickly!"
