Chapter 476: The Shanghai Film Studio
Ministry of Culture.
Zhu Muzhi read the first quarter report written by Chen Qi and nodded repeatedly: "Xiao Chen has a good start this year. Let's keep up the good work and strive to reach new highs."
"I'm afraid that if he continues to set such a record, the burden will become bigger and bigger. Think about it, last year it was more than 9 million, and this year it will be over 10 million. How much will it be next year? Every year is more than one year. Will he, a film maker, have to bear the burden? Can’t achieve the task of earning over 100 million yuan?”
Tin Bridge Road.
"No one will let him earn over 100 million yuan in foreign exchange. What has become of such a big country?"
Zhu Muzhi retorted and said: "But it's the same reason. I'm also afraid that he will be too burdened. Let's find an opportunity to talk to him - Old Ding, has the list of people visiting the United States been confirmed?"
"It's settled!"
Ding Qiao handed over a document, and Zhu Muzhi took a closer look. In addition to the leader and the main creator of "Beautiful Life", there were also several representative film practitioners and two cross-border people.
One is a researcher from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, named Dong Zhiming, who specializes in the study of vertebrate paleontology. He studied under Mr. Yang Zhongjian, a famous dinosaur expert in my country, but Mr. Yang has passed away.
One is an employee of the Guizhou Metallurgical Design and Research Institute, named Wang Chenghan. He was the only Chinese who jumped out of a plane and rescued the Weifang Concentration Camp.
There were more than 20 people in the visiting group, including several security personnel.
Not only that, the visiting delegation is going to New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles and other cities, and the local consulates will also assist with security work. There's nothing I can do about it. The Huna incident last year was so scary.
"After the relationship between Xiao Chen and Xiao Gong is settled, it is best not to go abroad at the same time. This is an exception. Please pay attention to it in the future -
—? "
Zhu Muzhi reviewed the itinerary, pointed to one of the places, and asked: "Are there other groups going to the United States during the same period?"
"The Ministry of Electronics Industry is also going to the United States for inspection. Their leaders seem to like movies very much and know that we will go too.
Hope to meet. Anyway, I had to attend the reception at the consulate, so I agreed. "Ding Qiao said.
"Oh, it doesn't matter."
Zhu Muzhi didn't care. The Ministry of Electronics Industry and the Ministry of Culture were out of reach.
Could it be that their leader could still poach Xiao Chen away? snort!
"Didi!"
In the evening, a Hiace van parked at the alley entrance of Lechunfang. As soon as the door opened, Gong Xue jumped out lightly, waved and said with a smile: "Xiao Wang, please come in and eat together!"
"No trouble, no trouble, I'll just go back to the factory!"
"Oh, there are no outsiders here. You, Section Chief Zhao, are all here. Come down quickly!"
Gong Xue opened the cab and looked at the driver with big eyes. The driver was a young man in his 20s with a crew cut.
Lean, who was stationed at the Beijing Film Studio with the car, he jumped out in a hurry: "Okay, I'll go eat!"
When the two entered the hospital, the driver saw Zhao Yan, the chief of the security department, and saluted him reflexively.
Zhao Yan also slapped him in return, making everyone roar.
After Chen Qi left, Gong Xue came about once or twice a week. Unlike before, which was sneaky and open-minded and walked through the front door, he came late today and took a van.
She put down her bag, rolled up her sleeves, and helped neatly.
Not long after, dinner was ready. Other units were preparing meals one by one. There were so few people here that we could sit down at two round tables. It was like having a banquet every day.
Dai Hanhan picked up her rice and joked with a smile: "Sister Xue, how does it feel to ride in the car? Do you feel safe?"
"Don't tell me, I'm not worried at all. It's just a waste to ride in such a big car alone and ask Xiao Wang to give it to me specially."
"That's easy! Xiao Wang will pick us up first, and then pick you up. We'll sit here with you, so you won't be alone!"
"Hey, what's your car for?"
"It's for people to watch. Those old men and women are watching it every day, and they're all wet!"
The lights were on in the courtyard, and everyone was laughing and joking, feeling that the cold spring was gone and warm weather was coming. At this time, a voice came from outside and shouted: "Is Comrade Gong Xue here?"
"Who?"
"I'll go take a look!"
Gong Xue put down her chopsticks, stood up, and went out with a few people. When she recognized it under the light, she was not sure: "Who are you?"
"I am Wang Lingu!"
"Director Wang! Come in quickly, why are you here?"
The visitor was Wang Lingu, the deputy director of Shanghai Film Studio, who knew Chen Qi. Although Gong Xue had never met him, he had heard about it.
He walked closer, looked at the front yard, and said with a smile: "This place is really nice! I went to the Beijing Film Studio first and said you were not here, so I came here and disturbed everyone's meal. I'm sorry!"
"It's okay, you can sit in the room!"
Gong Xue winked at everyone and said not to worry. They borrowed the editorial office and entered the room.
"Director Wang, are you looking for me or Chen Qi?"
"Looking for them all, but I heard that Chen Qi went to Hong Kong, so I came to visit you first."
Wang Lingu came with a mission this time.
The Ministry of Culture wants to deepen film reform and talks to people every day. It even sent people to Shanghai to hold a symposium.
After listening to the opinions of people in the Shanghai film industry, everyone was very agitated.
I feel like I need to get serious this time.
The old factory director Xu Sangchu had always wanted to get in touch with Chen Qi, so he sent Wang Lingu over.
“First of all, congratulations on winning the gold medal in Berlin and bringing glory to the country!”
Wang Lingu was very social and complimented him: "Dongfang Company has made great achievements in earning foreign exchange and even won international awards. It can be said that it is a two-pronged approach. Our colleagues in the industry admire it very much.
I am here this time to invite you to film.
You know, when a studio is shooting a movie, they usually consider their own actors first, and only look for actors from outside if there is no suitable one.
But for this movie, we all agree that you are the best candidate. I brought the script with me. "
As he said this, he took out a script and said:
"The second thing is that our Shanghai Film Studio wants to cooperate with Dongfang Company to make a movie that can be exported overseas. We have little experience in this area and don’t know what to shoot. I really want to meet Comrade Chen Qi. When is he free? "
Gong Xue suppressed her strangeness and said, "He will go to Shanghai during the May Day holiday. I will notify him and ask him to find you."
"That's great! Thank you, thank you!"
Wang Linggu was very happy and said, "Take a look at this script first. I will come back tomorrow and we will talk in detail later. Okay, I won’t disturb you for dinner. I’m leaving!"
He spoke quickly and left after he finished speaking.
Gong Xue returned to the dining room. Everyone asked in unison. She said, "Nothing. Shanghai Film Studio asked me to shoot a movie. ”
“Sister Xue is from Shanghai, you know how to get close to me now, what were you doing before?”
“Speaking of which, I wanted to enter the Shanghai Film Studio in my early years, but I never succeeded.”
“Fortunately you didn’t go, otherwise we wouldn’t know each other. Let me see the script——”
Dai Hanhan picked up the thick script and read: “Under the Bridge? This name is not good. It sounds like an old-fashioned film full of the atmosphere of old comrades.”
“Give it back to me.”
Gong Xue took the script back, pinched her fat face, and smiled: “I can judge what the atmosphere is, don’t worry about it.”
“Is that person coming?”
“Come tomorrow.”
“Oh, then Sister Xue will stay here tonight? Oh, living in such a big house alone, I don’t know if you are afraid, do you want us to accompany you? "Dai Hanhan said happily.
Gong Xue blushed again. She used to come during the day, but it was a little late today. She could take a bus back to the factory, but for some reason, she also wanted to stay here for a night.
She walked from the front yard to the back yard and stayed there for a night.
