Chapter 300 Harbor
"Ghost" is going well... The Ministry of Culture just gave me a letter. I thought that Life is Beautiful would have to be prepared in advance anyway, so I came back. Is everything OK here?"
"It's OK. I thought you would come back after going to France. Here you go!"
Gong Xue sat on the sofa and peeled an apple for him to eat. Chen Qi took a big bite and grimaced.
This is a Guoguang apple, which is small and tastes sour. He remembers that there are three varieties of apples that he often ate in the 80s and 90s: Guoguang, Huang Yuanshuai, and Red Fuji. Guoguang is the cheapest.
"Look at you, have you been in Hong Kong for too long and have forgotten what apples taste like?"
"There are a lot of fruits in Hong Kong. I often buy pineapples and durians."
"Then go eat your durian!"
Gong Xue snorted, Chen Qi stretched out his hand and hugged her, coaxing her: "I am just being realistic. Hong Kong has abundant material conditions, but I am spiritually dry and empty over there.
No matter how good the durian is, it is not as fragrant as my sister's. No matter how big the room is, it is not as safe as this small house. I miss you every day in Hong Kong..."
"You are so smooth-talking, you are no longer the simple little Chen you used to be!"
Gong Xue Pursing her lips, she poked his head with her finger and said, "When I first met you, although you were also good at talking, you gave people a very sincere feeling. Now you are just being polite, and you are also being polite to me."
"I have no conscience!"
Chen Qi swore at Guoguang Apple, saying, "Who doesn't want better material conditions? I enjoyed going to Hong Kong in this regard, but it was really busy, tiring and empty. You are unique to me, and I also want to find an opportunity to take you there and live a good life."
"Okay, okay, I can live anywhere, you just go and focus on your career, I don't want to hold you back."
Gong Xue kissed him and hugged him tightly again.
Chen Qi also hugged her thin waist, rubbing his cheek against her hair, the light smell of shampoo rushed into his nose, he didn't have to do anything, he unconsciously relaxed, this was the most comfortable time for him.
They were warm for a while before they separated.
He then saw the Popular Movies on the table, flipped through it, and said, "Huh? The Hundred Flowers Awards have started again this year? When will it be held?"
"Same as last year, May 23rd."
"That will clash with Cannes. Cannes opens on the 14th and closes on the 26th."
"I know, and I didn't plan to ask you to accompany me. I can do it myself."
Gong Xue picked up the remaining half of the apple and ate it without any concern. She said, "I don't have any fantasies about the Golden Rooster Awards this year. I have confidence in the Hundred Flowers Awards. Li Xiuming has a movie called Xu Mao and His Daughters, which has a very good reputation. She has great hopes."
"Xu Mao and His Daughters?"
Chen Qi didn't have much impression and asked, "Another movie about hurt and how people are?"
"How do you know?" Gong Xue was surprised.
"Just think about it. The mainstream voice in the film industry is still the same. There is no progress."
This situation will not end until the rise of the fifth generation and Red Sorghum wins the Golden Bear Award.
"If you don't have the Golden Rooster Award, then forget it. I'll earn it for you later. Last year was the Year of the Rooster, and this year is also the Year of the Rooster. Even if Li Xiuming wins it, it won't be the first Golden Rooster Award. At most, it will be the second."
"What's wrong with your brain?"
Gong Xue touched his forehead and said, "Last year was the Year of the Rooster, and this year is the Year of the Dog!"
"You don't know that the Year of the Rooster is equivalent to two and a half years, so this year is still the Year of the Rooster. And there is an old saying that the Rooster and the Rabbit are the same as the Dragon, so the Year of the Rabbit and the Year of the Dragon are also two and a half years..."
"You are talking nonsense again. I think you are busy in Hong Kong."
"That's right. I am really tired!"
Chen Qi said he was tired in front of her. He had to organize so many things, and there was not even one person who could handle it independently. Even if he was young, he couldn't stand it.
When he said that, Gong Xue felt distressed: "You just came back today and started to be busy again. Why don't you sleep for a while? I'll call you when you get up?"
"It's okay to sleep for a while!"
Chen Qi got on the bed, lay down, and said, "Wake me up at five o'clock."
"Okay!"
Gong Xue took his shoes and put them on the shoe rack at the door. This small room was very delicate. She thought the cement floor was dirty, so she laid a wooden floor and wore slippers in the room.
Chen Qi closed his eyes and suddenly asked, "When will "Mom Love Me Again" be released?"
"Director Wang said that it will be put on the screening in March. China Film will organize the sale of copies. Will it be released in the second quarter?"
"Oh, maybe I can catch up and see another masterpiece of our big star."
After that, he was quiet again.
Gong Xue leaned on the sofa and wanted to read a book. After a while, the man said again, "Come up too, otherwise I can't sleep."
"You have so many things to do!"
She had no choice but to get on the bed and snuggle in his arms. Chen Qi hugged her waist and adjusted his posture comfortably. He finally found the most relaxing feeling and fell asleep soon.
"..."
Gong Xue heard his breathing and knew he was asleep. She got up and took a look.
"He is the best when he is sleeping. He doesn't say anything, just like a child."
She couldn't get enough of Chen Qi. Suddenly, she frowned and got out of bed quietly. She found a hot water bottle and filled it with hot water. It was a little hot. She wrapped it with a towel and covered her lower abdomen.
She was not feeling well today.
But she still wanted to go to Lechunfang at night. She knew Chen Qi didn't care. They were not in a physical relationship.
They were separated for a long time, and the time they slept together was only about one month at most. They didn't have sex very often, or they used condoms brought back from Hong Kong - Hong Kong condoms were imported and relatively thin.
In Beijing, condoms were distributed free of charge by the streets, units, and family planning departments, and they were thicker than balloons.
They were the yellow gelatin balloons, which could be reused after washing and applying talcum powder (as shown in the picture)
…………
At the same time.
Beijing Film Studio, director's office.
After Wang Yang sent Chen Qi away, he took out a piece of official paper from the drawer, put on his reading glasses, and wrote an application seriously.
In February this year, the central government issued a document entitled "Decision on Establishing a Retirement System for Old Cadres".
The domestic cadre system is relatively chaotic. There are 2.5 million old cadres who participated in the work during the Great Revolution, the Agrarian Revolution, the Anti-Japanese War, and the Liberation War. Most of them are still on the job.
This leads to serious aging.
So the central government issued this document, and the rough opinion is: Department-level and deputy ministerial-level officials generally retire before the age of 60, and senior officials generally do not retire before the age of 65.
There are also special cases: for example, if the age is reached, but the work really needs it and the body can persist, with the approval of the organization, it is also possible to temporarily not retire for a certain period of time and continue to hold a leadership position.
So starting from this year, some old cadres have gradually retired to the second line, usually with the title of "consultant".
Wang Yang is 62 years old, which is in the category of retirement.
But he is still in good health and is too important to the Beijing Film Studio. Once he leaves, there will be no leader. Both the individual and the leaders of the Ministry of Culture tend to let him retire a few years later.
"Alas, I have been working for more than 40 years without realizing it."
After Wang Yang finished writing the application, he sighed with emotion: "I can only hold on for another 2 years at most. I don't know who the organization will let take over my job, and what will happen to the Beijing Film Studio in the future..."
He suddenly felt a sense of urgency. Now with Chen Qi as a variable, he was driven by a fiery mind. He felt that he had to seize the time to do more things before retiring.
In the end, the old man signed his name to submit it to the Ministry of Culture for approval. This was also communicated in advance by both parties.
He sealed the briefcase, thought for a moment, then stood up and went out to visit the Ministry of Culture in person.
