Since 1983

Teacher Xu said that small things are indeed small things. He was busy with big things, such as brand promotion during the 7th National Games, and inviting Wu Mengchen to dinner.

In August, Wu Mengchen took office as the CEO of China Film Group. Dou Shoufang, deputy director of the Film Bureau, also serves as the leader of the China Film Party Group.

I wanted to treat guests in a restaurant, but Tian's leadership is high-ranking and it is not easy to participate. In the end, I didn't want to be in my own home, but when I looked at the four-bedroom and three-living house, it looked like a capitalist.

So it was settled in Wu Mengchen's residence, a newly allocated, two-bedroom apartment of more than forty square meters. In addition to Cheng Zhigu, five people cooked mutton.

This person is fat and fair, with a smile like a rich man, and said: Thank you to Minister Tian and Lao Dou for your appreciation, thank you to the old factory manager and Xiao Xu for your kind hospitality, and congratulations on the brilliant results of The Lion King and Big Sabbath , I offer a toast to everyone.

you are welcome.

Cheng Zhigu was old, so he took a sip. Xu Fei drank a glass and replied, I also have to thank you for your great help, pioneer of reform.

It's easy to talk about.

Wu Mengchen drank another cup and said with a smile, I don't dare to be a pioneer, but you two are the ones who want to be. The director of the factory is not old, but Xiao Xu is young and promising.

Hey, I can't do it anymore. I should have retired, but I was forced to work for three years. I have already made a report and asked him to find a successor as soon as possible.

Cheng Zhigu Yizhitian leader.

The Beijing Film Studio is not easy to manage.

That's why I can't do what I want, I hope to retire early. Cheng Zhigu said.

You really have to be careful. I've just started picking, and I've already received a lot of calls. Leader Tian said.

Can you tell me, is there any suitable one? Wu Mengchen was also very concerned.

Well……

Leader Tian scanned around, and they were all close friends. He said, A comrade from northern Shaanxi used to work in the West Film Studio, but he didn't want to, because he was worried that he wouldn't be able to do a good job.

...

Teacher Xu thought about it, and said, I know someone, but I don't think it's appropriate to say it.

It's not formally selected, what are you afraid of? Dou Shoufang said.

Uh, there is an actor in my company who used to work with E Film Studio. They say there is a deputy director named Han Sanping.

The one filming The Story of Grandpa Mao?

Yep.

This film won the Five One Project award and is quite famous in the circle.

Leader Tian thought for a while and said, Director Teng (the director of the Film Bureau) is from E Film Studio. I'll talk to him another day.

So continue to eat meat.

Talking about everything, all aspects, mainly film reform. Leader Tian has recently been busy with Xinying, Beikeying (Beijing Science and Education Film Studio) merged into CCTV, and Children's Film Studio (Children's Film Studio) merged into China Film.

These three companies have suffered a lot, CCTV is rich and powerful, and China Film is still rich, so it will be no problem to take over.

After chatting for a while, he suddenly said: Xiao Xu, I heard that you voted for a film by Jiang Wen?

There is such a thing.

I received a report letter yesterday, saying that Jiang Wen made a movie worse than Farewell My Concubine and locked a group of people in the army for training.

What? ? ?

Xu Fei was puzzled, and said, We're a serious film, and we've already approved the project.

The project has been approved, but Farewell My Concubine didn't make a bad start with a fake script? It happens to be there, so tell me what's going on? Dou Shoufang said.

After he introduced it again, Leader Tian asked, What is the background of the Great Movement?

right.

It's a bit sensitive. I received a report before that Tian Zhuangzhuang made a film Blue Kite to highlight the dark side of the past. I chatted with him once, and recently received several reports saying that he was uncensored and was going to Foreign exhibitors.

If it is verified, it will not only violate the censorship system, but also violate the foreign affairs system. How did he get the passport?

No, no, we are different. You can hear the story, it's just a bunch of kids talking shit, there is no political label.

In this way, you shoot normally, and you must follow the procedures after shooting, and don't evade the review.

This review process...

We used to have a review team, but because of Farewell My Concubine, it became a review committee, composed of film bureau leaders and experts from various fields.

If the dispute is relatively serious, a review will be conducted.

Who is responsible for the review?

Ahem!

Dou Shoufang coughed twice and glanced at the leader Tian.

oh oh! Xu Fei is right.

The censorship of Chinese movies is said to be bad to death, but it is also very flexible. Because you are talking with people, not with the system.

For example, the shot of killing someone with a hammer, is it violent or not? You can talk about it, if you want to convince the leader, then pass it.

Then there is The Sun Also Rises, there is a line that is probably Your belly feels like velvet...

The leader didn't understand and wanted to delete it. Jiang Wen took a piece of velvet and touched it. Oh, that's the thing.

Continue to eat and drink, it will be late.

Leader Tian drank less and talked enough, which meant to let go. Wu Mengchen observed the words and expressions, and was about to offer a drink for the last time, but he said again:

Xiao Xu, I've read the letter you wrote several times. Our thinking is roughly the same, but you must know that reforms never happen overnight, so you are a little impatient.

It's not that I'm in a hurry. Xiao Xiao said that my interests were damaged, and my good box office was concealed.

To put it bluntly, although China Film Group withdrew, the provincial companies have once again formed a regional monopoly. If they let it go for too long, once they react, they will join forces to lower the price.

At that time, you will be given 50,000 buyouts for each film. Will you sell it?

...

The other party was silent.

Whether they like it or not, localities have begun to accept the new policy. The strongest rebound period has passed, and everyone is thinking about how to find new loopholes in the new regulations.

Strike while the iron is hot. I think their regional monopoly should be dismantled as soon as possible, so as to demonstrate the determination to reform. Xu Fei said.

Leader Tian understood what he meant. In his plan, the second move should be proposed at an appropriate time next year. But now it also makes sense.

If the provinces really join forces to lower prices, then the reform will become a joke.

At the same time, Xu Fei, a young man, surprised himself again.

He naturally saw the announcement of New Film and Television. He thought he would sue for concealing the box office or something, but it pointed to another core issue-the disintegration of local monopoly.

It shows that the other party is very clear that at this stage or even for a long period of time, it cannot be solved by concealing the box office.

This is called political savvy, long-term vision, and trustworthy.

The game that was about to end suddenly continued.

But Cheng Zhigu couldn't hold on anymore, so he left first, and the remaining four continued.
