1979 Golden Age

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 Does that mean it can be withdrawn at any time?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 a pilot reform, that's called bold and bold move forward... What else should I write after that? 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 I will add 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 were only a few thousand dollars. Together, they are 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 and relax in the small direction. We must restrict it 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, but it is very troublesome for mainland China to go to Hong Kong, and going abroad is even more troublesome. It would be 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 that time, and it 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 Chen Qi has to be given the right to film, but it is impossible to open a studio for him alone, 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 said, "Is the food ready? Serve the rice to the master!"

"Just because you call me master, you will be arrested and criticized!"

Gong Xue rolled her eyes at him, served two bowls of rice and placed them on the small table, sitting on a low stool and letting him sit on the sofa. Chen Qi rolled down, took a look, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, this is the first time I ate the meal you cooked yourself. There was no sugar, right?"

"Guess!"

"That means there was no sugar. I can't think of how to eat cabbage stewed with potatoes with sugar?"

Chen Qi tasted a few bites and evaluated carefully: "The potatoes were stewed for just the right time, and the cabbage was soft, but the soy sauce was a little too much. The taste was still very good and could go well with rice... How are you doing here? Are you used to it?"

"It's pretty good. It's clean and more comfortable than the guesthouse. It's just that sometimes at night..."

She shook her head shyly and didn't continue. She kept picking up dishes for him and said: "If you don't like to eat in the cafeteria in the future, come to my place. I didn't have the conditions in the army before. In fact, I like to cook."

"You must be good at southern dishes. I'm not used to them. ”

“What do you like to eat? I will learn to cook it.”

“Pot-fried pork, twice-cooked pork, squirrel mandarin fish, roast duck, fried eggplant box, Buddha’s hand cabbage, super sea view Buddha jumps over the wall!”

Gong Xue paused for a moment and said unhappily: “I only earn a few taels of meat tickets a month, where can I get them for you? You are a fool!”

“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. It’s okay to stay overnight.”

“I won’t live there!”

“Then I will be so scared to be alone. What if there is a ghost in the middle of the night?”

“Anyway, I won’t go…”

Gong Xue used chopsticks to push the rice in the bowl. The moaning of the woman next door suddenly emerged in her mind again. Her thoughts spread instantly. Is that kind of thing really that interesting? I have heard it twice in just a few days since I moved in.

Each time is not short, and it can last for more than 20 minutes.

After dinner, Gong Xue sent him to the door and said, "Next time, tell me what you want to eat."

"I can only come when I eat, why can't I come at other times?" Chen Qi laughed.

"You're asking even though you know the answer! Anyway, don't come at night, people will gossip about you...Okay, go away, I'm still cleaning the house, you made a mess." Gong Xue drove him away with a broom.

Ah, what a woman who lives a life!

Chen Qi walked away leisurely. The spring scenery of Beijing, the big willow trees in the factory have all sprouted branches, and the winter jasmine has bloomed, full of vitality.

As soon as he walked to the vicinity of the main building, Wang Yang shouted from upstairs: "Xiao Chen! Where have you been, kid? Come up quickly!"
