Chapter 751 Establishing Order

[Writing this, I hope readers will remember our domain name Taiwan Novel Network→𝒕𝒘𝒌𝒂𝒏.𝒄𝒐𝒎]

In just over a month, the Screenwriters Association held three general meetings.

The mood is different every time, everyone has ups and downs, and they only feel that life is exciting.

At this moment, Ruan Jiwen was standing on the stage, opposite Boss Kuang of Xiongwei Company! Boss Kuang handed him 8,000 yuan in royalties in front of everyone, apologized solemnly, and then ran away.

The same goes for another small screenwriter who got black money.

They don't know how Mr. Chen did it. They only know that their grievances have been subsided, someone has protected them, and the rules set by the association have been established!

"Thank you Mr. Chen!"

The two thanked them sincerely, and Chen Qi asked them to return to their seats and stood on the stage.

In fact, everyone is very surprised. If the company runs away, can we still get the money back? This is amazing. The shaky association was instantly solid again.

"There are too many crooked ways in Hong Kong's entertainment industry, and human feelings are greater than the law. This is a problem."

Chen Qi looked at everyone and said: "The Songwriters Association is doing the best right now. The association collects royalties for them and takes 20% as daily expenses. What is this money used for? For example, if a bar refuses to pay for using a song, the association Take this money and go to court.

Songs have a wide range of applications and there are large royalties to be collected, but screenwriters cannot.

If an infringement occurs and a lawsuit is required, who will pay the legal fees? In the end, it has to be solved by human nature. This is a difficulty for us, and copyright protection in Hong Kong is not perfect. "

Hong Kong only had the Intellectual Property Department in 1990 and the Copyright Law in 1997.

"Some things have happened recently, and I have solved the problems caused by the right wing. I was planning to formulate some rules and regulations, but the association is a scratch one, and I don't really believe in the effect.

For example, I said that a script needs to be paid in three stages, but some people, in order to get the job or have a personal relationship, made a private agreement with the company to publish the script first and then collect the money. It's totally possible!

Regulations are regulations, and effectiveness is effectiveness.

I don’t think you have this consciousness, but now I hope you listen. If we are not united, any regulations will be useless, and industry rules cannot be established. "

"..."

He spoke so bluntly that everyone was embarrassed, and that was indeed the case.

But now he wants the money back, which has the effect of standing up the city gate. Ruan Jiwen shouted first: "Mr. Chen, we must listen! I know you are doing it for our own good!"

"Yes! It's rare for us to have a leader!"

"Just say it."

"Okay! The process will be like this in the future: when a company invites you to submit a draft, you first come to the association to register, and then you will be charged in three stages: deposit, outline, and complete script. Don't engage in private giving and receiving. Once you find out, you will be kicked out of the association... ...Wenjun!”

"Mr. Chen!"

"Tell all the companies that if they ask our members to write scripts in the future, they will follow this!"

"good!"

"..."

People’s minds are becoming more and more complicated. This is really for the good of the screenwriting industry! Although this association is destined to be under his control, it doesn't matter, others can't even do this step.

Historically, the Hong Kong Screenwriters Guild was a nonsense and of no use.

The Directors Association, the Stuntman Association, the Lighting Art Photography Association, etc. are all just formal things. Only the Performing Artists Association has done something, such as anti-gang marches, combating piracy, disaster relief performances, etc.

Carina Lau also organized a march to protest after her photos were published...

Because the Performing Artists Association is a celebrity, it attracts a lot of attention and can drive media and social topics.

Who cares about you as a screenwriter?

In the same way, those behind-the-scenes personnel associations are basically just decorations.

But Chen Qi believes that these people are very important. They are the foundation of the film and television industry. When the Screenwriters Association gets on the right track, he also wants to gradually establish other associations until all socialist transformations are completed.

By then Hong Kong will be a solid base.

…………

After Sun Wenzhi was captured, he became as well-behaved as a baby.

I am afraid that a video of myself holding a red flag and singing the national anthem will appear in the Information Bureau or even the "Presidential Palace".

Chen Qi's unscrupulous methods made him feel horrified, and he even wondered whether one day he would be stripped naked and hung on a street lamp pole for people to watch... Oh, and there would also be a blue sky and white sun flag on his head.

And he thought about it carefully and felt that what the other party said made sense.

I am struggling to fight back against the leftists here. When the ice is broken and the two sides of the Taiwan Strait can communicate with each other, that girl will be too embarrassed! The situation in Taiwan is unclear, so why bother working so hard?

Eh!

He figured it out, and he figured it out after a beating.

Chen Qi was not prepared to drive him away. If he was replaced by a new person, he would have to continue. Taking advantage of Sun Wenzhi and asking him to cooperate when something happens, the effect will be better.

The situation changes every year, and the left must also adapt to the central government's thinking and adjust its approach to Taiwan. From now on, the two sides of the Taiwan Strait will be one family, but those who are not close will have to go through their own hurdles first.

He stayed in Xiangjiang and just kept the door open.

…………

With this matter settled, the crew of "Dark Man" set off.

Our navy is divided into the North Sea Fleet, the East China Sea Fleet and the South China Sea Fleet. The North Sea Fleet is stationed in Qingdao, Lushun, Huludao, etc., and is responsible for the defense of the northern half of China's maritime territory from Lianyungang in the south to the Yalu River in the north.

The selected unknown island is in the Yellow Sea, and the crew lived in Dalian.

Trivia: Dalian is further south than Beijing.

There is maritime trade here, a high degree of openness to the outside world, and the country has given policies. In the late 1980s, the GDP was already among the top ten in the country, and it was once planned to build a "Northern Hong Kong".

It was even more awesome in the 1990s. Dalian Wanda, Dalian International Fashion Festival, and Beer Festival were all famous.

Of course, in 1985, this place was just starting out. Like many coastal open cities, there were large-scale construction on one side and low-rise urban areas on the other. The crew received a mayor-level reception and was arranged properly. On the first day, they did nothing but shook hands with the leaders.

Chen Qi didn't want to see anyone except Wang Jianlin.

Lao Wang should still be in the army now, and Sicong was not born yet...

"Let me introduce you, this is Comrade Guo Shu from the army, he is responsible for coordinating all filming matters with you."

The people from the Bayi Film Studio were also there, and they pulled over a 40-year-old officer and saluted: "Comrade Chen Qi! Comrade Xu Ke! We will cooperate with you to complete the filming task!"

"Hello, hello, I'm sorry to bother you!"

Chen Qi then became enthusiastic and shook hands with the other party tightly - it was a pity that the person who came was not the bureau chief, who was also in the North Sea Fleet at the earliest.

The few people immediately exchanged ideas, and Guo Shu suggested that it would be better to move to Changhai County tomorrow. Changhai County is on an island, which is more convenient to travel to and from the location. Otherwise, it would take a long time to travel from Dalian every day.

The crew sent a set designer in advance to set up the scene on the island, just waiting for the filming.

Chen Qi asked: "Comrade! We need a few planes, a few paratroopers, a few scrapped boats, and a lot of explosives. I don't understand. Let me ask, if there are too many explosives, will it have an impact on the island?"

"Oh, do you mean will it destroy the island?"

"Almost!"

"Don't worry! The island is our bombing training ground. The shrapnel we have collected over the years weighs several tons. The explosives you used for filming... hehe!"

Comrade Guo Shu laughed more straightforwardly and said: "The soldiers are very excited when they heard that you are coming to film. When they heard that it was an explosion scene, they were even more excited and were looking forward to it!

Whatever effect you want, we will give you the effect!"

Huh!

Chen Qi and Tsui Hark looked at each other. Now there is something to play.

(No more...)
