Dongfang Company is a state-owned enterprise, and it should play a greater role if it has more profits.
For example, Xinhua Bookstore has supported more than 20 million yuan for the development of books in old, remote and poor areas, which is one of the functions of state-owned enterprises.
Leader Zhu originally wanted him to do something, but now that he had brought it up, he gave up and said, "You made a solemn promise to the Radio and Television Bureau, so keep your promise and don't just spit in the face."
"Don't worry, I won't fight a battle I'm not sure of."
Chen Qi paused and said, "There are a few more things I want to report to you. There is a Sundance Film Festival in the United States in January, and we have a work participating in it. There is also an American Golden Globe Award, and I am invited to participate."
"Well, sure! It's a good thing to communicate more with the American film industry."
"Dongfang Company will be a department-level unit in the future. It doesn't even have a proper office space, and it lives in a bungalow, which is the territory of the Beijing Film Studio. Isn't it a bit too miserable? Can you help find a place?"
"Humph! Your Sima Zhao's intentions are known to everyone, even me."
Leader Zhu snorted and said, "Okay, I'll find you a piece of land in the south city, are you going?"
"Hehe!"
Chen Qi smiled awkwardly, on purpose.
His intention to annex the Beijing Film Studio had long been spread with the house-hopping. The attitude of the superiors is very subtle, with a sense of watching the fun. The leaders are not averse to this idea, but just want to see the timing.
If the Beijing Film Studio really declines to the bottom, and the Oriental Company is in its heyday, it is not a bad idea.
"Your office has water and heating, and the place is spacious, which is better than the general department-level units, so don't move."
Leader Zhu followed up on this topic and said, "It just so happens that you are back. Tomorrow you will meet the newly transferred leaders and work well together in the future."
"How many people?"
"Three people, one full-time and two deputy positions. They are responsible for administrative, party building, and trade union affairs. Those business departments are under you and you are in full control. When the structure is set up, you can recruit more people, don't be like a makeshift team."
"I understand!"
Oriental Company will parachute three leaders, one full-time director and two deputy directors.
Chen Qi's position is also deputy general manager, specializing in business, but the level is full-time director, which shows his great power. It also implies a meaning: he is just not old enough, and when he is old enough, he will be promoted naturally.
So Chen Qi is looking forward to being in his thirties, and he is looking forward to everything.
…………
He is in a low position but has great power, and he still drives a van.
In the cold winter of Beijing, a Hiace van drove on the streets where the snow was not swept clean. In the blink of an eye, it returned to the Beijing Film Studio. There were two "beep" sounds at the door, and the old man in the message room stuck his head out.
He is getting older, and his voice is not as strong as before.
"You're back? It's so nice to stay at home in such a cold weather!"
"There are too many things to do, so I can't rest!"
Chen Qi casually threw a pack of Marlboro over, and the old man took it skillfully and said with a smile: "After all, it's you, kid!"
The van drove in, and after a few steps, it was stopped by an aunt, who leaned on the window of the co-pilot and shouted: "Boss Chen, when can you build that building?"
"You have to find Director Hu for this matter! He is not in a hurry, and I can't do anything about it."
"Why don't you apply to the higher-ups and take over the Beijing Film Studio? Your level will be raised, and you will be next to each other, and you will be a family!"
"Oh, I remember it! When I really do it, you have to support me... And don't call me Boss Chen, it makes me sound like a bourgeois." Chen Qi said happily.
"Come on! One of your scripts is worth a year's salary for our entire factory. If you are not a bourgeois, who is a bourgeois? I would rather follow the bourgeoisie!"
The aunt left with a grumble.
Chen Qi was silent for a while.
Since the reform of the studio, the ideological changes of these employees are visible to the naked eye. The times and environment change people's ideas, not all at once, but hidden in various specific things.
For example, with the rise of TV dramas, the concept of "film pay" has emerged in China.
The film system is deeply rooted, and it is enough to get a salary and a little subsidy for filming. TV dramas are new things. What if the director wants to invite an actor but the actor doesn't want to come?
Movies can't be spent on money, but TV dramas can, because there are no regulations.
For example, in "Journey to the West", Yang Jie wanted to find Wang Bozhao to play the role of Little White Dragon. Wang Bozhao didn't want to play the role and deliberately asked for a high price of 500 yuan per episode, and Yang Jie paid it. After shooting three episodes, he got 1,500.
The van stopped downstairs.
Chen Qi got out of the car, went to the office first, and then went upstairs.
"Are you back? How did the negotiation go?"
"It's just filming a TV series... Ouch!"
As soon as he entered the door, without taking off his shoes, Gong Xue gave him a solid hug and kissed his face. Chen Qi laughed: "You are becoming more and more westernized. Can you be more reserved?"
"My child is six months old. Why should I be reserved?"
Gong Xue brought him slippers and snorted: "Whose couple can't see each other several times a year? You finally came back, but you have to leave after a few days. You are westernized and you only want to go to the United States."
"I am attending the film festival! Then you will go with me?"
"I won't go. I want to see my son!"
Gong Xue picked up Zhuangzhuang and said: "The child is different every day. When he grows up, you will see him twice a year. Do you think he will recognize you as his father?"
"I..."
Chen Qi was speechless and sighed: "There is no way. The nature of my work is special."
He took his son and wanted to hug him, but the child was not used to crying when he opened his mouth, so he had to return it awkwardly.
Gong Xue felt distressed again and said, "It's okay, I'll take him to see you when he's older. I'll tell him your stories and let him know what a great man his father is."
"You make me sound like a martyr!"
Chen Qi pinched Zhuangzhuang's face. Since he couldn't accompany him, he had to rely on his acquired education. Just don't let his character become bad.
Write an essay in school in the future: "My father is very busy and doesn't have much time to spend with me and my mother. When I was a child, I always complained about him. It's not until now that I understand my father - Minister is not just a title, but also a responsibility! He shoulders the mission of the national literary and artistic cause..."
Then it's useless.
The couple stayed together for a while, and then talked about TV series. Chen Qi asked, "You've been resting for more than a year, and you still don't want to film? How about filming a TV series?"
"I'm really not ready. I'm thinking about work, and it's hard to be separated from my child. Can I take Zhuangzhuang with me to film?"
"How? Leave the child with the crew? Or let your mother go with him?"
"What should I do? I won't become a housewife, will I? Then I'll get old and become a yellow-faced woman, and your sisters will take you away!" Gong Xue said pitifully.
"Forget it, forget it, I'll help you think about what to film!"
Chen Qi rubbed her head and felt that she was a little silly after giving birth to a child, and her dependence became stronger.
He wanted Gong Xue to continue her career. Staying at home all year round without contact with the outside world would make people even more stupid, and they would not even have a common language.
