Chapter 734: Up, Up, Up
This is an era where even the sale of melon seeds can be ordered by the chief personally. This is also an era where big bosses can first discuss whether the cross talk "Big News" is appropriate during a meeting...
So don’t use the perspective of future generations.
Leader Zhu had finished talking and had returned to his office, his words still ringing in his ears.
"To correctly understand the role of the individual in the collective is also part of emancipating the mind!"
"We must tolerate and protect comrades who are capable, innovative, have withstood the test, and have made achievements. They are the vanguard of reform and opening up. Can''t we just abandon the vanguard if we can''t achieve results?"
"We must consider all aspects, especially overseas influences, and dare to put more burdens on young comrades!"
"As for earning foreign exchange from royalties..."
Leader Zhu clearly remembered that when the big bosses talked about this, their expressions were a little tense. Finally, they said: "Since the pilot has been implemented this year, as long as it is legal and compliant, there will be no problem. Just follow the rules."
Based on these instructions, he checked Comrade Xiao Chen''s various information again, mainly on various matters related to Hong Kong.
Then I remembered Mr. Liao inexplicably.
Mr. Liao manages both the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office and the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office. This is the standard personal attribute that is greater than the collective attribute, because those overseas only recognize Mr. Liao and not others. So much so that after his death, his son could still sit in the position of the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office and continue a little love.
Now Comrade Xiao Chen is the same, and the Hong Kong literary and art circles only recognize him.
"This situation..."
Leader Zhu thought, first of all, Chen Qi must not be transferred, so how should he arrange it with Dongfang Company? Going to the Ministry of Radio, Film and Television or the Ministry of Culture seems to be unable to fully reflect the value.
Creation, earning foreign exchange, external propaganda, united front!
He wrote four phrases, which is exactly what Chen Qi and Dongfang Company are currently doing.
"Xiao Chen is too young to be promoted. This... eh?"
"He can''t promote him, but the company can!
"Dongfang Company is small in scale, with a simple structure and sloppy personnel. It looks like a grassroots team. It can be formalized!"
Leader Zhu''s eyes suddenly lit up. He used to use fixed thinking to judge, but now he was lectured. His mind changed and he suddenly thought about the world. And the more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and said to himself: "Why haven''t I thought of this before? Such a talent! Such a talent!"
…
Chen Qi didn''t know what the leaders thought, but his money was released first anyway.
Beijing Branch.
A clerk tremblingly handed over a foreign currency account passbook and said, "Please keep it!"
"Okay, thank you!"
Chen Qi opened it and took a look, then handed it to Gong Xue. Gong Xue also took a look and stuffed it into his bag. He whispered: "It''s just a decoration. It can''t be used at home. There is a quota limit for going abroad. I just look at it and feel comfortable."
"Otherwise? Your trip to the country costs you 100,000 to 80,000 yuan. How much foreign exchange does the country have in total?"
"I know, I know, that''s why you can rest assured to give it to me!"
"This is unconscionable. My salary is all in your hands."
Chen Qi stretched out his hand to pinch her face, and Gong Xue pouted: "Your little treasury is much more than your salary, but I don''t want it, and I can''t spend much. You can''t take this passbook to Hong Kong, so leave it here with me first. "
When the policy was not very loose, the biggest purpose of holding so many U.S. dollars was to deposit them in mainland banks.
He also has to pay taxes.
According to the policy introduced in 1980, the starting point for individual tax collection is 800 yuan. No one in the country could reach this level, so the levy targets were all senior foreign personnel working in China. Later, a patch was added to implement double standards: foreigners’ tax remained unchanged at 800 yuan, and domestic workers’ tax was 400 yuan.
20% tax rate.
The two went home in a van, and her mother was at home taking care of her children.
Chen Qi was leisurely playing chess and teasing his children as usual, as if he was back on vacation. And at night, the couple were whispering in bed, and Gong Xue said: "Chen Chou, are you leaving soon?"
"Um?"
"The money has been approved for you. Things must be turning around."
"You can be politically sensitive now!"
Chen Qi smiled and said: "There''s nothing going on here. I''ve said all that needs to be said about Hong Kong films entering Guangdong and the film and television base. I have to go back to Hong Kong to prepare for "Black Man" first. The rest is about my arrangements. You probably want to talk to me!”
"What if I''m not satisfied with the arrangement?"
“…”
Chen Qi stroked her hair and said after a while: "Then I will really resign and take you to travel around the world, facing the sea with spring flowers blooming, and only caring about food and vegetables."
"Hey, do you still remember the poem from a few years ago? It also added a line and it rhymed quite a bit."
"More than one sentence? I can continue the whole poem, but I am too lazy to memorize it, ah! Too lazy to continue..." Facing the sea, spring flowers are blooming - from the China Youth Daily in 1979, which was Chen Qi''s first appearance.
The two joked for a while, and he kissed Gong Xue''s forehead: "Go to sleep! No matter the flowers bloom or fall, I can afford to support you, and I can also support the film market."
"ha!"
Gong Xue was happy in his arms and sighed: "You are only 25 years old, why are you talking about retirement? You are fooling yourself and others, you can''t be idle!"
…
Leader Zhu first talked to the Ministry of Radio, Television and Culture.
Then the two departments were dumbfounded.
"You''re not polite! Our two families are robbing people. We originally expected you to mediate, but why did you still get involved?"
"That''s right! Mediation comes and goes. Has it been transferred to your side?"
"We don''t agree!"
"This is a decision made based on the instructions of the chief! The Eastern Company is not comprehensive enough in any of your systems. Only in this way can it play its greatest role."
Please...you...Collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠ(Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\!)
The Ministry of Culture and Radio and Television were both struggling, but they were secretly relieved.
Because they couldn''t offer any more favorable terms to recruit Chen Qi, and they didn''t want to see him go to the other side, being upwardly compatible was actually the best solution.
"Then after?"
"You can cooperate with Dongfang Company on your own, that''s optional."
…
After Leader Zhu finished talking to them, he found Chen Qi again, and his attitude was different from the last time.
His mind came to him.
Why adjust somewhere else? What would happen if the Ministry of Truth had such talent?
He was also frank and said: "Comrade Xiao Chen, I won''t talk nonsense about the current situation. You are all aware of it. After organized discussions and research, the film system will basically be transferred to radio and television, and regarding your arrangement with Dongfang Company-"
"Eastern Company is adjusted to an enterprise directly under the Ministry of Truth (at the department and bureau level)!"
"Comrade Li Mingfu is getting older, and he has been using his spare energy. He has officially retired. Several experienced comrades will be transferred to take charge of administration, party building, trade unions and other affairs. You will still focus on production and operation!"
"The company structure was too sloppy before and needs to be formalized. You have many businesses, including movies, TV, music, and magazines. The departments need to be separated."
"You mean TV?"
Chen Qi was stunned and said, "We didn''t film a TV series?"
"I have read your information carefully. You have cooperated very well with ATV in Hong Kong! You have organized two Spring Festival Galas yourself, which are well-known by word of mouth. The domestic TV industry is developing rapidly, and I believe you will also be able to make good TV programs. How? ? Think the burden is too heavy?"
"No, no!"
Chen Qi suppressed his surprise and quickly shook his head.
Leader Zhu continued: "The original intention of establishing Dongfang Company was to serve as an experimental field for cultural systems, and you have done too many things. After adjustment, you must have a clear mission goal. Let me summarize it for you -"
"Do a good job in literary and artistic creation!"
"Strengthen export and earn foreign exchange!"
"Pay attention to overseas promotion!"
"Taking into consideration the cultural united front!"
Chen Qi''s eyes widened a bit. He didn''t expect this kind of freedom and improvement.
He looked at Leader Zhu who proposed the "three leniency policy" in history, as if this was the other party''s true style, and he was extremely courageous.
The leader of the Ministry of Truth is half a level higher, but the department is still at the ministerial level. This is called high matching.
The same is true for the Central Organization and the United Front.
Therefore, if it becomes a directly affiliated enterprise, the level of Dongfang Company will inevitably be upgraded.
In fact, in later generations, there were many film companies/units directly under the Ministry of Truth, such as: Film Bureau, China Film Group, Movie Channel, Huaxia Film Distribution Company, China Film Archive, etc.
At first, they were either transferred from the Ministry of Culture to Radio and Television, or they were originally from Radio and Television, but later they were all assigned to the Ministry of Truth.
Film has always been one of the country''s most important ideological tools, and this has never changed since the founding of the People''s Republic of China.
