1979 Golden Age

Chen Qi's car is probably the weirdest in the entire capital.

Those cadres either took cars or rode bicycles, and there was a clear distinction between them. But he was the only cadre who drank standing and wore a long shirt - he used a van.

Early the next morning.

When the Sea Lion Bread was parked in the courtyard of the Ministry of Culture, it happened to bump into the delegation. Everyone watched Mr. Chen get out of the car with subtle expressions. In Hong Kong, this kind of bread is usually used to transport young and Dangerous people to kill people.

"How was your rest yesterday?" he greeted with a smile.

"I rested well. It was very warm in the house. I thought I would freeze to death."

"Well, there's also hot water for bathing."

“Breakfast was delicious.”

Everyone told the truth that the stereotype of mainland China is that it is poor and rustic, which was a bit surprising. Chen Qi hummed. He didn't even look at Jianguo Hotel. Their annual profits were millions of dollars.

We went upstairs together and came to the large conference room.

Everyone attended in formal attire, even Hong Jinbao wore a suit with a bulging belly. Cheng Long was so stupid that he wore a Chinese tunic suit, which was accepted by both sides of the Taiwan Strait - speaking of Taiwan, they could still wear the Chinese tunic suit these days, but then they stopped wearing it.

Chen Qi asked them to sit down first and ran to the office.

The leaders of several departments were chatting before the meeting. The leader of the Ministry of Truth saw him and joked: "Comrade Xiao Chen is here, please give up your seat."

"No, no, no, you broke me!"

"Let me report that the delegation has arrived. Can we meet on time?"

"Can!"

The leader of the Ministry of Truth saw that there were still about five minutes left and drank tea leisurely. He had met Chen Qi, and he was the referee when Chen Qi competed with CCTV in the second Spring Festival Gala.

He is 70 years old this year and will take a back seat in a few months.

The next leader is very interesting. During his tenure, he proposed the famous "three leniency policy", that is, to be generous, tolerant and relaxed. Since then, domestic films have begun to be full of demons and cults, and the scale of some works is no less than that of Hong Kong films.

The leaders were obviously angry and knew what was going on. At this moment, they still asked: "Xiao Chen, where do you think we should start talking today?"

"I don't think there's a rush. Let's talk about our respective film industries first, and then have a meal at noon to get familiar with each other."

"Well, you have to do it step by step. It's hard enough if you run in front and back in the middle."

"The organization asked me to do this job, so I should do my best and live up to the trust of the organization." Chen Qi said with a smile.

"You're still quite naughty at your young age..."

The leader of the Ministry of Truth stood up and said: "Let's go and meet our Hong Kong compatriots."

After leaving the office, the group walked through the long corridor and transferred to the conference room. Seeing them coming in, the delegation stood up collectively. He Guanchang also took the lead in clapping, and warm applause erupted in the room.

The leaders suddenly choked and glanced at Chen Qi.

You've trained me very well!

The boss is not stupid. His main business is in Hong Kong, and he is instigating this matter. Who believes that he has no selfish motives at all? It's just that he was measured and didn't step on the red line.

"Okay, please sit down, please sit down!"

"I feel so cordial to see you all. The blood between the two places is thicker than water. Hong Kong has confirmed the date of its return. We are one family. Today I take the opportunity of the movie to get together here. Don't be formal and chat casually."

Ding Qiao presided over the meeting, introduced each other first, and then each spoke.

The people on the mainland side were from the film bureau, and Hong Kong gave this job to Wu Siyuan. The former talked about the system of state-owned studios, including shooting, distribution, screening, local film companies, etc. The latter also talked about the industrial situation in Hong Kong.

Both sides really need to understand.

The Hong Kong box office is the box office, but the mainland box office statistics are very vague and the data is not detailed. Only one distribution revenue is more accurate.

Local film companies order copies from China Film. After receiving the copies, they will rent a certain number of films to China Film for each show. This money is China Film's distribution income, which is different from the box office, which is the money earned from selling movie tickets.

A rough calculation shows that the box office is 2-3 times the distribution revenue.

The distribution revenue of "Mom Love Me Again" was 47 million yuan. This was the highest-grossing film before the reform. It should also have the highest box office, but detailed statistics are not available.

"..."

The delegation's heart dropped when they heard this.

They originally wanted to split the accounts at the box office, but how could they do it in this situation? He Guanchang glanced at Chen Qi. The guy was sitting next to him without saying a word, his mind wandering and he was actually distracted.

He Guanchang is also a little desperate. After traveling thousands of miles to get everyone here, there can't really be no results, right?

More than two hours passed in the blink of an eye, and we had lunch.

The meeting resumed in the afternoon.

The Hong Kong delegation only remembered two points: first, there is no detailed statistics on the mainland box office, and second, the total national box office last year was about 500 million yuan, and the distribution revenue was 700 million yuan.

And they also expressed their demands.

"We sincerely ask all leaders to consider our opinions. We hope that the mainland market can be opened to Hong Kong films. Originally we wanted to adopt a box office splitting model. When I heard it today, I found it quite difficult. How to implement it, uh..."

He Guanchang shook his head helplessly: "To be honest, we don't know either."

Since I'm not sure, I'll take a rest today.

As a result, the talks on the second day were still vague and made no progress. Neither party knew where to start, and there was a thick barrier called Chen Qi in the middle.

It was still the same on the third day. The leaders couldn't hold it in any longer. After the meeting, they called Chen Qi to the office and chatted behind closed doors. He felt quite aggrieved and said: "It's not that I don't express my opinions. I am developing in Hong Kong and they come to Beijing for exchanges. I have to avoid suspicion because of circumstances and reasons!"

Avoid you!

Ding Qiao said angrily: "You have brought everyone here, now you know how to avoid suspicion?"

"It's all for the common development of the two places. If you have any ideas, just tell us and we will consider it as appropriate!" said the leader of the Ministry of Truth.

"Then let me tell you briefly..."

Chen Qi came in from another angle and said: "For example, a Hong Kong film costs 2 million, and is sold to Taiwan for 600,000, to Singapore and Malaysia for 400,000, and then sell a little more to Thailand, South Korea, Indonesia and other places, and collect a little more from Hong Kong. There is bound to be some profit.

These foreign markets have a buyout system, and Taiwan has the highest bid, so they have been controlled by Taiwan in the past. "

"What about Japan? Japan's market should be the largest, right?"

"Except for a few Cheng Long and Li Lianjie, the vast majority of Hong Kong films are sold at very low prices in Japan, or even not available at all. The current situation is that Taiwan is closed to Hong Kong films. We must fill this gap in order to stabilize Hong Kong. The literary and artistic circles made them yearn for the mainland.

Most of the Hong Kong films produced every year are junk, and their selling prices in Taiwan are not high. For a small-budget Hong Kong film, they would be happy to pay them hundreds of thousands. "

Chen Qidao: "I don't think it's necessary to raise it too high. The essence of this matter is that we give them a bowl of rice to eat. There is no need to give them too much food when rice is promoted and rice is grudged against rice. It is enough to treat them according to Taiwanese standards. We will see in the future If possible, give me another bowl.”

"..."

The leaders looked at each other.
