1980 My literary era

Chapter 730 Lin Weimin did it all

Although Lin Weimin's words were harsh, Qu Xiaowei still cared about it.

At usual gatherings, whenever Qu Xiaowei mentioned doing business, Lin Weimin would always give him an example of Zheng Guo, saying that Zheng Guo was more suitable for doing business than him.

This time Lin Weimin gave him advice on opening an Internet cafe. Just in time when Qu Xiaowei's own financial resources were insufficient, he pulled Zheng Guo over without even thinking.

As for pulling Lin Weimin into a partnership, he never thought about it, because he knew that Lin Weimin didn't like this kind of small business at all.

Zheng Guo is usually very picky, and he must have saved a lot of money over the years. Qu Xiaowei is very sure of this.

Facts also proved that Qu Xiaowei’s idea was correct.

He told Zheng Guo that he would invest at least 100,000 yuan to open an Internet cafe. Zheng Guo didn't even blink.

From Zheng Guo's point of view, he usually felt that Qu Xiaowei was unreliable in business, but as soon as he heard about the Internet cafe's idea, he immediately noticed the business opportunities here.

After asking more carefully, he found out that it was Lin Weimin who had given Qu Xiaowei the trick. He felt more at ease and happily decided to cooperate with Qu Xiaowei.

Qu Xiaowei and Zheng Guo stayed at Lin Weimin's house for more than half an hour. Except for Qu Xiaowei telling some things he learned about at the beginning, Zheng Guo basically said the rest.

From computer room location selection to computer configuration, from computer room decoration to business types, Zheng Guoyi talked for more than 20 minutes without stopping.

Qu Xiaowei said depressedly: "Didn't I just come to see you the day before yesterday? Where did you hear all these things?"

Zheng Guo said: "Who can tell me this? It's up to you!"

Qu Xiaowei became even more depressed.

Lin Weimin smiled and said: "Zheng Guo has not been training in vain in the past few years. He has traveled south, traveled north, and has been to the United States. Look, this is the gap!"

In the past two years, because of Lin Weimin and "No One Less", the China Youth Education and Development Foundation has obtained the qualification to carry out activities in the United States, and has also raised a lot of money. Zheng Guo went to the United States twice on business.

Lin Weimin's last words were to Qu Xiaowei. Qu Xiaowei muttered: "What's the big deal? I'll go there when I get rich."

His words can well represent the aspirations of ordinary people in this era.

After coming to talk to Lin Weimin about the computer room, Qu Xiaowei and Zheng Guo got busy.

The hot July is about to pass, and the even hotter August is about to usher.

On the weekend at the end of the month, Lin Weimin received a call from Tian Congming and asked him to have dinner.

Lin Weimin wouldn't think that Tian Congming really invited him to dinner if he didn't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything.

He made an appointment to meet at the coffee shop of Yanjing Hotel. Let's just talk about things. There is no need to be polite.

"Tabe, long time no see!"

On the weekend morning, Lin Weimin met Tian Congming in the coffee shop.

I haven’t seen Tian Congming for more than half a year. When I see Tian Congming again, I can’t help but sigh at his youth.

Tian Congming exchanged greetings with Lin Weimin with a smile on his face, and then took the initiative to chat about "Alive".

"Comrade Jianzhong reported to me that you called him specifically to take care of Comrade Yimou."

"There's no way, it's all these years of relationship. Yimou is a good person, but this time he was led astray by the investor from Wandao. He promised me that this kind of thing will never happen again," Lin Weimin said.

Tian Congming waved his hand indifferently, "I didn't think much of him at first. It's not easy for our country to produce a world-renowned director. How could he destroy the Great Wall?"

Lin Weimin put a smile on his face, "Wise leadership!"

Tian Congming pointed at him with a smile, "Come on, it's okay for you to fool Lao Teng with your words. By the way, did I hear that you issued a 'blocking order' against the investors of Renjiawan Island?"

Knowing that Tian Congming was teasing him, Lin Weimin said in a relaxed tone: "This is all rumors spread by everyone. I just feel that this person is not honest in what he does. There were many people that day, and I don't know who spread the rumors. The more rumors spread, the more crooked they became."

Tian Congming nodded, "It's normal. But, sometimes rumors are not necessarily false!"

He said and winked at Lin Weimin.

Lin Weimin was stunned, what does this mean?

Are you using your own rumors to make a show?

After thinking about it carefully, he seemed to understand what Tian Congming was going to do.

The impact of privately participating in "Alive" is indeed very bad, but Zhang Yimou is now a representative figure in the domestic film industry. Punishing him would be like destroying the Great Wall, but if he doesn't express his position at all, where is the authority of the film bureau?

With Lin Weimin's incident, it is now being spread in the domestic film industry that Qiu Fusheng, the investor behind "Alive"'s private participation in the exhibition, was instigated by Qiu Fusheng. It is just right to ban Qiu Fusheng, the investor behind the scenes.

What's more, it is now rumored that Lin Weimin stepped forward to block Qiu Fusheng. By doing this, the Ministry of Radio, Film and Television can not only sell well with Lin Weimin, but also don't have to worry about being held accountable by the authorities for destroying the barrel station.

If anything goes wrong, it's all Lin Weimin's fault. What does it have to do with our Ministry of Radio, Film and Television?

Kill three birds with one stone!

Many thoughts flashed through Lin Weimin's mind, and when he looked at Tian Congming, he couldn't help but feel a sense of awe.

Compared with Tian Congming in front of him, Lao Cheng is just silly and sweet!

The more Lin Weimin thought about it, the more complicated his mood became. The ban was really going to happen. Although his reputation would be spread outside, he would inevitably take the blame for the Ministry of Radio, Film and Television.

This Lao Tian is so cunning!

"Don't look at me like that, it's mutual benefit for everyone!"

Tian Congming wouldn't think that Lin Weimin couldn't figure out the twists and turns in this, so he didn't try to hide it at all. He acted openly and openly, with a "gentleman" style.

After chatting for a while, Lin Weimin asked: "What are your instructions for calling me out today?"

"I can't talk about instructions. I just have a document that I want you to look at for me."

Tian Congming said as he took out a document from his bag.

"Red (not a typo)? It's inappropriate, right?" Lin Weimin glanced at it and said.

"What's wrong with what I asked you to see?" Tian Conming said.

"Yes. You are the leader, I listen to you!"

Lin Weimin happily took the document and scanned it for a few minutes. He knew the contents of the document very well, and he also understood Tian Congming's purpose of looking for him today.

"You are going to turn the domestic film industry upside down!" Lin Weimin sighed.

Tian Congming smiled and said: "You didn't come to the film bureau, but you did. This is your business!"

Lin Weimin smiled tacitly and replied: "It's a shame I didn't go!"

After finishing speaking, he turned his eyes to the red investment documents.

"This document will be released early next month. I am looking for you today just to hear your views on this document." Tian Congming said.

Lin Weimin nodded and asked Tian Congming, a ministerial-level cadre, to come and communicate with him. From this, we can see the importance and possible significant impact of the document in front of him.

"Once this document is released, it will definitely cause an uproar in the film industry. Maybe many people will label you as a 'traitor' and a 'comprador'."

Lin Weimin only said one sentence and got to the point. Tian Congming couldn't help but nod.

"But compared to the lawsuit, you are definitely more concerned about the impact of the documents on the Chinese film industry. Is it more negative or more positive?"

Tian Congming gave Lin Weimin a thumbs up and said, "Continue."

Lin Weimin did not beat around the bush and said calmly: "In my opinion, the positive impact is greater than the negative impact."

"Where's the argument?"

"Norwegian people like to eat sardines, especially live fish. The price of live fish in the market is much higher than that of dead fish, so fishermen always try their best to bring live sardines back to Hong Kong. Despite all kinds of efforts, most of the sardines still end up in the harbor. He suffocated and died on the way.

Later, someone put a catfish whose main food was sardines into the fish tank containing sardines. When the sardines saw the catfish, they fled around. In this way, the problem of hypoxia was solved, and most of them returned to the fishing port alive and kicking. "

Lin Weimin narrated, and Tian Congming thoughtfully said, "The 'catfish effect' proposed by German zoologist Horst is actually very illustrative. Maintaining healthy competition is beneficial to the Chinese film industry."

"And then there's..."

When Lin Weimin said this, Tian Conming looked at him and continued: "Our country has been working hard to join the WTO since it returned to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade in 1986. The film industry has been closed in the country for too long. If you want to join the WTO, you cannot remain closed. Sooner or later, you will have to open up. It is better to open up later than earlier, so as to at least give everyone time to adapt and develop."

Tian Congming asked: "Aren't you afraid that foreign films will become too competitive and beat domestic films to death in one fell swoop?"

Lin Weimin smiled nonchalantly, "I have written 10 movies. It is impossible for you to formulate policies and not even think of this issue."

Tian Congming's face became more relaxed, "It took such a while to think so comprehensively, I really saw you right!"

Lin Weimin was afraid that he would try to solicit him again, so he waved his hands and was about to speak, but was interrupted by Tian Congming.

"Okay, okay, I know this is not your intention and I won't embarrass you."

Lin Weimin laughed twice.

He knew very well that Tian Congming came to him to communicate today not to ask for advice, but more to confirm each other, confirm the possible impact on this document after it is issued, and be fully prepared for it.

"Okay, you can read the documents for me, and we'll be even." Tian Congming said in an extremely sophisticated manner, like a female ticket holder.

"Why is it even?" Lin Weimin grabbed him, like a sister asking for a female ticket.

"I wanted to transfer you to the ministry last time..."

"Then I'm suspended!"

"Then I'll help you fulfill the 'blocking order' this time?"

"There's a lot of buzz outside now. If the higher-ups find out, the first person they won't be able to spare will be me!"

Lin Weimin refused to give up and Tian Congming said helplessly: "Then I owe you a favor!"

Lin Weimin nodded, that's pretty much it.

It's a favor from the deputy ministerial level. I didn't drink this coffee in vain today, it was worth it!

On August 1, 1994, the Ministry of Radio, Film and Television issued Document No. 348:

Starting from 1995, China Film Company will import ten "good films" that "basically reflect the world's outstanding civilizational achievements and contemporary film art and technological achievements" in an internationally accepted way of split distribution.

These are the ten imported films that were later translated as "blockbusters," most of which were imported from Hollywood.

Over the years, Chinese people have opened their eyes to the world and have already seen clearly the gap with developed countries. Many film practitioners cannot help but worry that the introduction of big-budget films from developed countries, especially Hollywood in the United States, will have a strong impact on Chinese films, which will in turn trigger the film industry. turmoil, even destroying domestic films that are going through the pain of reform.

Many senior figures in the film industry have expressed their opinions through the media, including those who are in favor and those who are against it.

Suddenly, the domestic film industry was in turmoil.
