1979 Golden Age

"You are so brave!"

Song Linming became furious when he saw them, strode in, and scolded: "Unorganized and undisciplined! Letting you go to Berlin to participate in the exhibition is already the result of tolerance for you, but you guys actually dare to privately contact foreign film producers, blatantly violating the regulations!"

Director Li, you are also an old man from Beijing Film Studio. I am so disappointed in you! Do you know what you are doing? What about your party spirit? What about your discipline?

And Comrade Chen Qi! "

Song Linming stared at Chen Qi fiercely and said coldly: "I have heard of your reputation, young and handsome man. I originally wanted to have a good chat with you, but there is no need for it now!

Don't be arrogant just because you can write a few scripts. You will lose even the most basic collective spirit. Put away your poor individualism. If there is no collective in one's eyes, no matter how talented you are, it is useless!

If you dare to do such a thing today, I don’t know what you will dare to do tomorrow!

If Xiao Fang hadn't followed you, I don't think you would have wanted to come back if you had the chance to stay in Berlin! "

"..."

Li Wenhua was so scolded that he didn't dare to say anything. Chen Qi raised his eyebrows and said: "Mr. Song! It doesn't matter whether what I did is illegal or not. It is definitely illegal for you to slander and spread rumors. When you see someone holding a kitchen knife, you conclude that he is going to kill someone. Do you convict a man of rape when you see something in his crotch?

You don't even have the basic spirit of seeking truth from facts. How dare you criticize others? "

"This is how you talk to seniors, you..."

"Old Song! Old Song! Calm down."

The leader of the Ministry of Culture broke up the fight. To be honest, he was shocked when he received the case. Who would have thought that someone would dare to do such a thing? But the process of investigation and questioning needs to be followed.

"Comrade Chen Qi, this matter is of a serious nature. You must correct your attitude and actively cooperate. If you continue to be playful and smiling, you will no longer be sitting here! Now that both of you are here, I can't listen to one side of the story. Please tell me what's going on. ?”

"That's it..."

Chen Qi straightened his back and said: "First of all, I would like to thank the leaders for giving us this precious opportunity. We arrived in Hong Kong at the beginning of the month. The Hong Kong audience liked "Tai Chi" very much, and everyone applauded wherever we went. This gave us great confidence. confidence.

Then to West Berlin.

There are two films this time, "The Return of the Swallow" and "Tai Chi". We were just exhibitors and went to the screening. "The Return of the Swallow" was a competition. Sister Fang didn't care much about us. She focused all her energy there and was busy all day long.

We had nothing to do but help Mr. Fu Qi. He went to Berlin to sell films and taught us a lot of knowledge.

When "Tai Chi" was screened in Berlin, no one expected it to be so popular. The foreigners loved it so much that the film producers took the initiative to find it. I wanted to talk to Sister Fang, but I couldn't find her. She was either attending dinner parties or participating in activities. She also had a good relationship with the chairman and hugged her whenever we met.

We discussed among ourselves that the film festival only lasts for twelve days. It is not easy to come out once, and the film producers pay us US dollars! U.S. dollars, this is foreign exchange! There is no such store in this village.

Finally, we decided to take the risk.

Don't we know that this is against the rules? But there is no other way, Sister Fang doesn’t care about us and can’t find anyone to ask for instructions, so we can only kill first and then report..."

"You fart!!!"

Fang Yurong's eyes turned green, and he pointed at Chen Qi's nose and sprayed: "Don't be pretentious here. You obviously had a premeditated plan, deliberately threw me away, deliberately deceived me, and privately contacted the film company!"

"Do you have any evidence?"

"Don't worry about me or not, if you do it, you do it!"

Song Linming said: "Yes! Regardless of whether there is evidence or not, your private alliance with film producers is a violation of regulations. Who gave you the power?"

"I gave it to you!"

With a shout, Wang Yang strode in, his shoulders and hair were wet, it was raining outside.

He stood in front of Chen Qi, like a parent protecting his child, and snorted: "Song Linming, don't bully young people here at your age. The contract for "Tai Chi" was signed in the name of Beijing Film Studio, and it's me. the meaning of!"

"What authority do you have to do this?"

"Last year's new policy, the copyright of "Tai Chi" belongs to me. Of course I can sell it if I have the copyright!"

“The New Deal only said that the copyright would be returned to you, but it didn’t say that you could distribute it!”

"You will be subject to military orders abroad! What's more, this is to earn foreign exchange. Can you bear the responsibility for missing the opportunity?" ˆ ˆ "Why should I take responsibility? There must be rules in everything. Without rules, there will be no success. You are an old revolutionary, so you should take this responsibility Have you forgotten all about it? If everyone is like you, who is it for the regulations and who is it for the law? "

"Okay, stop arguing!"

The leaders of the Ministry of Culture have a headache, and the quarrel is still about the same trivial matter, the power struggle between China Film and the studio.

But this time Beijing Film Studio made a big fuss.

He couldn't be biased and said: "Old Wang, I have heard the cause and effect. No matter what reasons you have, it is a fact that you have private connections with film producers. That is a violation and you will be punished..."

Before he finished speaking, Song Linming immediately said: "I propose! Comrade Wang Yang has made a serious disciplinary mistake and is no longer suitable to be the director of Beijing Film Studio!"

"Director Li Wenhua knowingly committed the crime and was fired from his official position!"

"Chen Qi was a direct participant and was fired..."

"Report!"

Chen Qi suddenly raised his hand and corrected: "My working relationship is not with Beijing Film Studio. I am seconded. I belong to the Youth Refreshment Cooperative of Dashilan Street, Xuanwu District! If you want to fire me, you have to go to the street."

"..."

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Song Linming looked at Fang Yurong. He is not from Beijing Film Studio. Why didn't you tell me?

Fang Yurong felt wronged. It was too late!

Everyone in the room was stunned. After all this time, this guy is not from Beijing Film Studio? What the hell!

But Song Linming's brain turned quickly and he immediately changed the subject: "Also! Beijing Film Studio has no power to issue. The contract they signed should be handed over to us, and we will do the follow-up connection!"

Fuck!

Wang Yang's nose was crooked with anger. Does he have any shame?

The incident happened suddenly. He hadn't communicated with Chen Qi yet. Some things were unclear. Just as he was about to speak, Chen Qi pulled his clothes and said, "There is definitely no contract."

"The chairman said you signed a contract, you must have it!" Fang Yurong said.

"Really not, if there is, it's not with me."

He spread his hands and said whatever he wanted.

In the more than one hour of quarreling in the room, you and I have exchanged countless tricks. Every sentence may be a loophole that the other party seizes and counterattacks. Fang Yurong's brain raced, after all, he was a little clever.

First, Chen Qi was not from the film system, which was very troublesome.

Second, China Film wanted the contract and contacted those film distributors. But they were not law enforcement agencies, and there was no way to pry open Chen Qi's mouth.

Got it!

Fang Yurong suddenly had an idea, pointed at him and shouted: "He has a problem with his position!"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Wang Yang's face changed.

"Think about it, a 21-year-old young man, going abroad for the first time, attending a film festival for the first time, can actually negotiate a deal! How did he negotiate? When did he learn to speak English? How did he know the film distributor? He said that Fu Qi taught him, who knows if he is lying, and the Hong Kong company itself is in danger, is it that powerful?

I have no evidence, I just infer based on common sense!"

"He must be investigated!"
