Chapter 506 The hatred for seizing his wife is irreconcilable
China Film.
Sun Jianmin held the newspaper and looked very unhappy.
"Life is Beautiful" won five Golden Roosters and was the biggest winner, but it was not released, which resulted in a very strange result. The media and audience have become even more vocal, demanding to see the film as soon as possible.
And "Tai Chi 3"!
Chen Qi had previously given him two options: one was to buy out the film, which would cost 10,000 yuan per copy for how many copies of the film were ordered, and China Film would pay Dongchang the buyout fee. The second is agency distribution. China Film will negotiate with provincial film companies. No matter what method is used, China Film will eventually be given an agency fee of 10%-15%.
As soon as the results of the Golden Rooster Awards came out, he asked Tong Gang to call several companies to test their opinions.
Including Beijing, Shanghai, Jiangsu, etc., these places are big movie consumers and order the most copies.
"They all disagreed. I was rejected right from the beginning and didn''t even have a chance to talk." Tong Gang said.
"They are really worthless. They are all blood-sucking jackals."
Sun Jianmin shook his head, mentally prepared.
"Then we spend our own money to buy it?"
"Otherwise, what should I do? If Chen Qi really supports the reform of the studio, it''s okay for us to buy it. Let''s wait until he gets married before we talk about it. If it''s not disappointing, he even sent me an invitation."
"Are you going then?" Tong Gang said with a smile.
"Of course I won''t go! When outsiders saw it, they thought our two families had made peace. Old boy, let me tell you the truth, our two families have natural conflicts. It is impossible to laugh away our grudges. Now we can talk , is forced by the situation.”
"They sent out invitations, but it''s not good if we don''t respond at all. Why don''t I just go and congratulate them instead of having a drink? It''s polite at least." Tong Gang suggested.
"Yeah, that''s fine. If you want to have a drink, it''s not your place. The list has already been decided."
Sun Jianmin smiled, and then became very gossipy: "I heard that the standards are not low. Many leaders are going to go?"
"I heard that there are only a few at the ministerial level, and they are quite famous."
"Damn it!"
The two of them paused and sighed in unison.
Putting aside the grudges, Chen Qi is simply the dream template of all men: becoming famous at a young age, being entrusted with important tasks, having a strong record, being unique in the industry, married to a big star, endorsed by the ministry... every bit of it is enough for them to envy.
…
Wan Laiming is very interesting.
Perhaps he heard that Chen Qi''s wedding was coming soon, so the old man who rarely painted worked overtime and completed a painting of the Monkey King before the wedding.
He was born in 1900, when the Qing Dynasty was still around. Although he was an animator, he was also a painter. Many people had asked him for paintings over the decades. When drawing Sun Wukong for others, Wan Laiming usually draws the picture of "Golden Monkey Offering Peach".
It is Sun Wukong holding several big peaches, which means good luck.
But what Chen Qi wants is the "Monkey King"!
The Monkey King is different from the Golden Monkey offering peaches. He has to wear a purple gold crown with phoenix wings and two long pheasant feathers...
Chen Qi liked this painting very much. According to the custom, it would have to be paid for retouching, but the current environment was not easy to pay, so he thought about buying some gifts and sending them back to Wan Laiming.
By the way: The story of "Journey to the West" and the image of Sun Wukong have gone through many versions of changes. The monkey was not the first image that the public is familiar with. The revolutionary and fighting nature of Sun Wukong is bestowed by the teacher: the golden monkey rises up with a mighty stick, and the jadeyu clarifies thousands of miles!
The 1986 version of "Journey to the West" was handed down from generation to generation, which made the monkey more perfect and became a common sentiment among Chinese people, until it was extended to the "Black Myth" of later generations.
It’s June in the blink of an eye.
The wedding is on the 5th, and the date is approaching day by day.
The 5th is Sunday, so friends and relatives in Beijing have plenty of time, but those in Shanghai have to ask for leave. Chen Qi said that all expenses were covered, and the Gong family also knew the rules and only brought a dozen of their closest relatives.
Before that, the June issue of "Popular Cinema" was released first.
…
"Hello, comrade, has the new issue of "Popular Cinema" come out?"
"It''s over there, go find it yourself!"
"Thanks!"
Dashilan Xinhua Bookstore just opened in the morning, and a young man came in to inquire. He was accustomed to the rude service attitude, so he automatically rolled aside and saw a thick stack of magazines on the table, which was the June issue of "Popular Cinema".
Domestic bookstores used to have bookcases sealed with glass and were not allowed to be browsed casually. Later, they were opened. The young man picked up a book. The cover showed a photo of Gong Xue, Pan Hong, and Siqin Gaowa, and the back cover showed Yan Shunkai. There are few people who don''t like watching movies these days. The results of Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers have come out early, and he wants to see detailed reports.
Turn the page and see the table of contents.
The next second, the entire bookstore heard his exclamation: "Gong Xue is married?!!"
It''s like a ladle of water rolling into a frying pan, boiling sizzlingly.
"What''s getting married?"
"Who? Gong Xue? Stop talking nonsense! How can she get married?"
"With whom?"
Readers who were flipping through other books came over excitedly. The young man pointed at the magazine: "Look at what''s written! Chen Qi and Gong Xue announced their marriage, and lovers got married!"
"Who is Chen Qi?"
"Oh, I know, screenwriter, right? He won a Golden Bear award a while ago!"
In the industry, Chen Qi is unique. Outside the industry, Gong Xue is unique and has captured the hearts of countless movie fans. The love letters were collected in sacks after sacks, and the Tongzilou could no longer hold them all, so they were all placed in Lechunfang.
Fortunately, there are no commercial houses now, otherwise I would have to follow Zheng Yuanjie''s example and buy ten buildings to keep credit.
The young man quickly found a few like-minded people. He looked depressed, as if he was buying breakfast for two for the goddess and her boyfriend every day. He muttered: "Although Comrade Gong Xue has reached the age of marriage, why did he suddenly do it without saying a word?" Get married!”
"What a pity! What a pity! If you get married, you may not be able to film anymore!"
"Hundred Flowers has won three consecutive championships. Isn''t she going to retreat in a hurry?"
The few people talked more and more, and they said: "No, I have to write a letter to Comrade Gong Xue, telling her not to be careless in important matters in life, and to be cautious!"
"Where is Chen Qi''s unit? I want to see what this person is like!"
"I heard that he is very young. Doesn''t that mean he has found a little boy?"
"The cream boy is good, but he is most afraid of being a pretty boy and trying to trick others!"
"What are you guys talking about? What do you know! What do you know about the situation... Put it down, put it down, and get out!"
Several people were startled, and when they turned around, they saw a middle-aged female saleswoman, glaring angrily: "Stop arranging people behind your back, can you have some socialist ethics? Get out, get out!"
"We''re still buying books!"
"I''ll tell you!"
These days, you can''t fight with the state-run waiters, and several people were kicked out of the house for no apparent reason. Yu Xiuli put her hands on her hips and resisted the urge to curse, just to do some good deeds for her son.
Colleagues watched the show and said happily: "Xiuli, your son is about to get married, why are you still going to work?"
"That''s right, hurry up and ask for leave!"
"We still have to wait two days. Besides, everything big and small is ready. It''s useless for me to ask for leave."
"Oh, everyone in the country knows about your child''s marriage!"
"Who says it''s not the case! I didn''t expect them to be able to make it public and even appear in magazines. You said this was a big deal!"
Yu Xiuli changed her expression in a second and smiled brightly. Her colleagues rolled their eyes one by one. Naturally, they were all invited. When they heard the specifications, they were only envious, not even jealous.
…
The publication of "Popular Cinema" caused an uproar.
Everyone in the circle knew that Chen Qi and Gong Xue were related, but they didn''t know about their marriage. They hurriedly followed the news and the newspapers were flying everywhere.
But there is no detailed content, which leaves a lot of room for speculation among movie fans. There are actually many people who wrote letters to Gong Xue and "Popular Films". They were all filled with righteous indignation and felt that the goddess fell into a pit of fire.
To use a joke from later generations, this is called "The hatred for seizing your wife is irreconcilable!"
Chen Qi was happy to know that, and experienced the feeling of being Zhao Youting.
