Chapter 764
In 1986, Gao Yuanyuan was already 7 years old, Fan Xiaopang was 5 years old, and there was still a year before Liu Yifei was born...
January 1, New Year's Day.
Dongfang Company was full of joy, and employees in the mainland gathered here. Dai Hanhan prepared three thousand rings of red earth, and the crackling sound continued in the red debris and sulfur smoke all over the ground.
A brand new sign was hung at the door, still with the name of "Dongfang Culture and Art Co., Ltd.", but the nature was different.
Everyone knew that there were a few words hidden on it: Directly under the Ministry of Truth!
"Happy New Year's Day, Teacher Chen!"
"Okay, everyone is happy!"
"Happy New Year's Day!"
The downstairs was very lively. Everyone looked at this sign and suddenly realized, hey? Their company never said it was a movie company from the beginning! It clearly said "culture and art", not "film company".
This sense of uniqueness made them proud.
Even the poorest Dai Hanhan would involuntarily straighten his chest when he thought of the company's wealth and career.
Chen Qi held a loud speaker and shouted: "Okay, okay! The listing ceremony is over, you guys get on the bus first and go to the party! The party will be over and we will automatically disperse. Today is supposed to be a holiday, so if you take up half a day, you will get a subsidy later."
"Long live Teacher Chen!"
Everyone got on the van happily.
The company has no auditorium or cafeteria, and they have to rent a venue for activities. There are not enough cars, so the leader naturally showed his style and let the employees go first. Several people returned to the office to wait for a while.
The old comrades officially took up their posts and were surprised by many things. One of them asked, "Xiao Chen, isn't this year-end bonus too high? Zhang Qiang only needs to be given a house, and she also gets an extra 50,000 yuan?"
"Yes, even a few thousand yuan is fine, but 50,000 yuan all at once?"
"I think it's normal. The country has been promoting reforms and breaking the big pot meal. Zhang Qiang alone has earned nearly 20 million yuan for the company. 50,000 yuan is more than that? I originally wanted to give her more than 100,000 or 200,000 yuan."
"More than 100,000 or 200,000 yuan? The whole country will be in an uproar!"
"Don't expect peace in our unit in the future!"
"I think 50,000 yuan is nothing. We were transferred here to persist in emancipating our minds, not to become old-fashioned!" Feng Li spoke.
They were all reformists in other units, but they became conservatives when they came here.
Because Dongfang Company is too radical.
Chen Qi smiled and said, "It's a good opportunity to discuss with you. We only have two vans, which are obviously not enough. I'm thinking of buying a few more vans and a car, so that it will be convenient for travel in the future."
Car! ! !
Upon hearing this, the three old comrades smiled happily. Who doesn't want to ride in a car?
In the past, cadres usually rode Volga, Old Shanghai, Beijing Jeep, Red Flag, and tractor. Now the state has abolished the regulations that officials below the county, regiment (department) level and enterprises and institutions at the same level are not allowed to use cars, and the number of cars used by officials has increased sharply.
Santana is undoubtedly the most popular, and the supply is in short supply. You can only buy it with a permit.
The three people supported it in their hearts, but they were still reserved on the surface. Chen Qi persuaded them sincerely before they reached an agreement.
Feng Li could only sigh: Units are really different from each other. When you just come here, you have a car and a house, and full of benefits. Where can you find such a good thing? He admitted that he was quickly corrupted... Our socialist enterprises will become... choked in the future...
After a while, the van came back to pick people up.
They were sent to a small auditorium and rented for a day.
Including Li Lianjie, Ji Chunhua and others, all those who have identities in the mainland have arrived. When the new leader takes office, they naturally have to get to know him. Several large round tables were set up with food and drinks, and a space was left in the middle for performances.
There was no special design.
It was just a star-studded show. Li Lingyu, Zhang Qiang and others went up to sing, Li Jianqun also danced, and Wang Qun and Huang Qiuyan performed martial arts.
They did not follow Chen Qi to Hong Kong. There was no shortage of movies to shoot in the mainland in recent years. Wang Qun was 26 years old and Huang Qiuyan was 25 years old. They were both veteran athletes in the martial arts team and had reached the age of retirement.
Chen Qi then asked them to come over and made them formal employees.
"Teacher Chen, I haven't fallen behind in my Kung Fu, have I?"
Huang Qiuyan was still so energetic and cute. She came to him after the game. Chen Qi smiled and said, "No, no, you are so good at using the two swords!"
"You speak with a Hong Kong accent now. I think you were better before."
"I can't help it. I have been in Hong Kong for too long. You are retired now and you are a company employee. You should come to see your sister Xue more often. She misses you very much."
"Okay! I didn't have much time in the past few years, and I didn't dare to go."
"Why not?"
"Hehe, you are all big shots now!"
Huang Qiuyan smiled innocently, grabbed a handful of melon seeds and ate them, but her eyes were fixed on the Li Lianjie, who was performing in a show, looked a little lonely and whispered: "Teacher Chen, Xiao Li doesn't come back several times a year, and he is increasingly cold to me when he comes back. Does he have someone in Hong Kong?"
"Didn't you ask him?"
"He didn't say, not only didn't say, but he didn't even want to talk to me."
"He is very popular in Hong Kong and has some fame overseas. I think he has become accustomed to life there, and it is inevitable that he will not adapt when he comes back. You are 25, and you will be 30 in the blink of an eye. You need to think carefully."
Chen Qi gave another suggestion, and Huang Qiuyan was not as sure as last time, and she also hesitated.
Distance and time are the best separators. Originally, Li Lianjie's "Shaolin Boy" and "North and South Shaolin" were shot with Huang Qiuyan, and the two were not separated. Now that they have been separated for a long time, their mentality is naturally different.
She is a good girl. Li Lianjie should go and meet Li Zhi.
…
At the end of the year, the Dongfang Company was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
The superiors allowed Chen Qi to be more free and open. The first thing he did was to increase the year-end bonus, which was increased on the basis of the past. The house is enough for the time being, but it will soon be insufficient. Feng Li is very active and has already gone to Hu Qiming to communicate.
From January 18th to 28th, it is the Sundance Film Festival.
On the 24th, it is the Golden Globe Awards.
"50 First Dates" was nominated for the Best Picture and Best Actress in the Musical Comedy category. The crew and the Golden Globe Awards both invited Chen Qi to attend. It is worth mentioning that Zun Long was nominated for the Best Supporting Actor for "Year of the Dragon".
Chen Qi planned to leave on the 16th and come back after attending the Golden Globe Awards. He could still catch up with the Chinese New Year, but he had to go to Guangdong Province on the first day of the Chinese New Year. He was busy at the beginning of the new year.
Speaking of which, he is 26 years old this year and has traveled 7 years.
He has made some insignificant achievements and there is a lot of room for improvement. He classified the previous period as a stage and this year as the starting point of a new stage. The functions he was given made him more noticeable and he had to make new contributions.
For example, he is now a recognized bridge of communication between the two places.
The official recognized that the literary and art circles of the two places would first consult him if they had any problems.
Just after New Year's Day, the old leader Ding Qiao seemed to have received some news and suddenly came to Chen Qi and said, "The Blood Battle of Taierzhuang is finished. We hope to release it in Hong Kong and make a bigger splash."
"When?"
"The sooner the better!"
"Well, I know!"
"There's one more thing..."
Ding Qiao paused and said, "Director Xie Jin plans to film Bai Xianyong's novel "The Exiled Immortal" and wants to invite Lin Qingxia to star in it. Everyone thinks it's an opportunity to see if it can be used to open up cross-strait cultural exchanges. Director Xie Jin also wants to visit you. What do you think?"
Filming with Lin Qingxia?
After hearing this, Chen Qi's first reaction was: When did Comrade Nicholas die?
January 1988.
Before he died, he allowed veterans to return home to visit their families, but he didn't allow cultural exchanges, and no one dared to take the initiative.
But it will be allowed after he dies.
"Please ask Director Xie to come over, so we can talk face to face."
