Chen Qi was very familiar with the factory director's office. He went in and sat on the sofa. He poured himself some tea and drank it. He looked at Wang Yang and said with a smile, "You have a happy event. I see your face is full of joy."
"It should be said to be your happy event!"
Wang Yang picked up a pile of information, handed it to him, and said, "I have been holding meetings these past few days to study your arrangements, and finally came up with a preliminary charter."
"Then you are troubled. Tell me about it. The document is too abstract."
"That's okay, there are some things that really can't be written down."
Wang Yang sorted out his words and said: "There is an External Cultural Liaison Bureau under the Ministry of Culture, which is responsible for literary and artistic exchanges with Hong Kong, Macao and overseas. Set up a company in the name of the Liaison Bureau, giving you the right to shoot your own photos and distribute them overseas.
Right, give you the right to cooperate with the leftists in Hong Kong!"
Hiss!
Chen Qi took a breath of sister Gong Xue, and the heat surged up. These are what he wants!
But he calmed down in an instant and asked: "Just be specific. What are the restrictions?"
"Ha, you are quite sober!"
Wang Yang took a puff of cigarette and said slowly: "As for the producer, you have to name the Beijing Film Studio. You can use the resources of the Beijing Film Studio, or you can find it from outside. No one will interfere with you, what to shoot, how to shoot.
You make the decision yourself."
"I have conditions. I can name it Beijing Film Studio, but I also have to add the company's name. That means there are two producers, you in front and me in the back."
From this moment on, the relationship between Chen Qi and Wang Yang has changed. Wang Yang has helped him a lot, and he is willing to repay the favor and is willing to provide some benefits to Beijing Film Studio under appropriate conditions.
"Can!"
Wang Yang nodded and said, "The Ministry of Culture will allocate two quotas for you every year, which means you can make two films a year."
"Too little!"
"Boy, you're a mere commander, but you can't make two movies a year?"
"Wow, if I get up and act like a human being, there's no problem with five or six movies a year!"
"Fart! You shoot first, and then apply later if you don't have enough. The third point is that the domestic distribution of "Tai Chi" is handed over to China Film Group, and all the money from selling the copies will be given to you, and it will be used as start-up capital."
"Can!"
Chen Qi knew in his heart that the number of copies of "Tai Chi" would definitely hit another record. If the Ministry of Culture really wanted to allocate funds, it might not be as much as this.
"The company's finances are connected to the top, and the foreign exchange earned goes directly to the national treasury, and then converted into RMB and allocated to you according to a certain proportion."
"The company can distribute overseas, but it can only distribute films produced by itself. It can cooperate with Hong Kong leftists. Co-produced films do not count against the quota. You can discuss the specific agreement yourself.
Finally, it will be much easier for you to travel abroad in the future.
That's about it, is there anything else you want to say?"
Chen Qi thought for a moment and asked, "Can I expand my own financial resources?"
"What do you want to do?"
"Give me an issue number. I want to start a magazine. Or allow me to get a loan from a bank and raise funds from other places."
"We still have to study it."
Wang Yang made a note in his notebook and asked, "Is there anything else?"
"Who is the current staff?"
"One person will be sent down to be the administrative boss, there will be finance, and you, three people. You will be responsible for the specific business, and you can recruit your own team."
"That's okay, otherwise I would really be a polished commander."
"Nothing else, let's just talk about the company name. Our opinion is that it should not be too commercial. At first glance, it looks like a capitalist company. It should be low-key and tactful."
"Low-key and tactful..."
Chen Qi thought for a while and said: "How about China International Cultural and Art Exchange Co., Ltd.?"
Wang Yang slapped him and cursed: "You want to eat shit! Return the prefix Guo. Is the prefix Guo a general enterprise?"
"What about the capital's external presence?"
"No way!"
"Then let's call it Oriental Culture and Arts Co., Ltd. It can't be any lower. It can't be called Dashilan, right?"
"Let's study it!"
Wang Yang sorted out everything with him, smoked silently, and suddenly sighed: "Boy, you said to me to earn foreign exchange together, and now we have realized it. I have always wanted you to come to Beijing Film Studio. You said you
I wanted to do it myself, but now I have succeeded.”
"Don't say that, I feel bad. You have helped me a lot, and I will definitely repay you! In fact, you should think so. With our current model, we will be more closely connected in the future, even closer than before.
Are you right?
Moreover, I have to borrow your place to work, and I have to put my name on it, so nothing has changed!"
"You still want to take advantage at this time, okay, okay, get out of here!"
Wang Yang waved his hand and kicked him out. Chen Qi took two steps and then asked, "By the way, how did you discuss it with China Film Group?"
"Ha! China Film is in dire straits right now. Other studios have come to Beijing, trying to beat the loser and seize the distribution rights."
"..."
Chen Qi hesitated to speak and persuaded: "Old director, what I said may be inappropriate, but I don't think now is a good time for you to grab the domestic distribution rights. If you really want to grab it, you might as well grab overseas ones.
It will definitely be beneficial for everyone to go out to sea together and practice real money and silver. We will talk again when we have the opportunity."
Wang Yang was stunned for a moment and looked at him again, but he had already gone out.
…………
A few more days passed.
This matter finally came to a conclusion: Oriental Culture and Arts Co., Ltd. was established, Chen Qi was responsible for the film business, and he was allowed to run the magazine. The rest was in accordance with the rules discussed with Wang Yang.
Chen Qi realized the awesomeness he boasted about before and opened a court by himself!
Although there are still many restrictions in this hall, in today's environment, it is already open and cannot be opened any more. He understands that he is a pilot for reform, and it doesn't matter, as long as he can do things.
Like China Film and Television, this company is affiliated to the Ministry of Culture.
The scale is definitely not comparable to that. There are only three or two kittens. Even the administrative boss sent is a retired cadre named Li Mingfu. The old man smiles very kindly and knows his work tasks very well.
Chen Qi chatted with him and thought he was okay.
After all, he is too young and his position cannot be too high. This is a disadvantage, but it is also true that he does not have to face the trivial administrative matters and can focus on business.
This company currently only exists in words, and it will take some time to implement it. He just happened to be recruiting people.
Everyone in the industry got the news, and the studios were agitated. More and more people came to Beijing to work for China Film, all wanting to get distribution rights... However, Chen Qi knew that it was indeed liberalized in the mid-to-late 1980s. At that time, there were distribution agents, and once
Sexual buyout, proportional sharing, and multiple settlement methods.
The studio was overjoyed at the result. It only lasted 2 years and then resumed selling copies.
The domestic environment is special, but Chen Qi has now successfully circumvented it. In the future, he can go to Hong Kong and overseas relatively freely, and cooperate with the leftists openly. This is so important.
He does not want to rely on the mainland and base himself in Hong Kong, but he wants to base himself on the mainland and capture Hong Kong!
If those studios are smart, they should come to seek co-production and let Chen Qi take the lead instead of endlessly arguing with China Film...
"Half of the burden of the two capitals and thirteen provinces is on my shoulders!"
(No more...)
Chapter completed!
