"The Love of Ghosts is progressing smoothly... It happened that the Ministry of Culture gave me a letter. As soon as I thought that "Life is Beautiful" would have to be prepared in advance anyway, I just came back. Is everything okay here?"

"Okay, I thought you were going to France and then came back. Here you go!"

Gong Xue sat on the sofa and peeled an apple for him to eat. Chen Qi took a big bite and grinned sourly.

These are Guoguang apples, which are small in size and have a sour taste. He remembers that there were three varieties of apples that he often ate in the 1980s and 1990s: Guoguang, Huang Yuanshuai, and Red Fuji. Guoguang was the cheapest.

"Look at you, have you been in Hong Kong for so long that you have forgotten what the apples here taste like?"

"Hong Kong has a lot of fruits. I often buy pineapples and durians."

"Then go and eat your durian!"

Gong Xue snorted, and Chen Qi stretched out his hand to hug her over, coaxing: "I'm just seeking truth from facts. Hong Kong's material conditions are rich to begin with, but my soul there is dry, my spirit is empty, and I have nothing to lose.

No matter how good the durian is, how can it be as fragrant as my sister? No matter how big the room is, how can it be as peaceful as this small room? I miss you every day in Hong Kong..."

"Smooth-tongued, you are no longer the simple and honest Xiao Chen you were before!"

Gong Xue pursed her lips, poked his head with her finger, and said: "When I first met you, even though you were very good at talking, you seemed very sincere. Now you are all polite, and you are also polite to me.

"

"How can I have a conscience in heaven and earth?"

Chen Qi swore at Guoguang Apple and said: "Who doesn't want to have better material conditions? I enjoyed going to Hong Kong in this aspect, but it was indeed busy, tired and empty. You are unique to me, and I also want to

I’ll take you there when I can and live a good life.”

"Okay, okay, I can live anywhere. Just go ahead and be busy with your career. I don't want to hold you back."

Gong Xue kissed him and hugged him tightly.

Chen Qi also hugged her slender waist, rubbed his hair with his cheek, and the light smell of shampoo entered his nose. He didn't have to do anything and relaxed unconsciously. This was the most comfortable time for him.

They stayed together for a while before separating.

Only then did he see "Popular Cinema" on the table, flipped through it, and said, "Huh? The Hundred Flowers Awards will start again this year? When will it be held?"

"Same as last year, May 23rd."

"That's a collision with Cannes. Cannes opens on the 14th and closes on the 26th."

"I know, I don't plan to let you accompany me, I can do it myself."

Gong Xue picked up the remaining half of the apple and ate it without hesitation, saying: "I have no illusions about the Golden Rooster Award this year. I am confident about the Hundred Flowers Award. Li Xiuming has a film called "Xu Mao and His Daughters", which has a very good reputation.

, she has great hopes."

""Xu Mao and His Daughters"?"

Chen Qi was not impressed and asked: "Is it another movie about harm and how people behave?"

"How do you know?" Gong Xue was surprised.

"If you think about it, you will know that the mainstream voices in the film industry are still the same, and there is no progress at all."

This situation will not end until the fifth generation rises and "Red Sorghum" wins the Golden Bear Award.

"If the Golden Rooster Award is gone, then it's gone. I'll earn it for you later. Last year was the Year of the Rooster, and this year is also the Year of the Rooster. Even if Li Xiuming wins it, it won't be the first crow of the Golden Rooster, at most it will be the second crow."

"Are you out of your mind?"

Gong Xue touched his forehead and said: "Last year was the Year of the Rooster, and this year is the Year of the Dog!"

"You don't know something. The Year of the Rooster is equivalent to two and a half years, so this year is still the Year of the Rooster. And as the old saying goes, the Rooster and the Rabbit are the same as the Dragon, so the Year of the Rabbit and the Year of the Dragon are also two and a half years..."

"You are talking nonsense again. I think you are too busy in Hong Kong."

"That's right, I'm really tired!"

Chen Qi said he was tired in front of her. He had to organize so many things, and there was not even one person under his command who could take charge alone. Even if he was young, he couldn't bear it.

When he said this, Gong Xue suddenly felt distressed: "You just came back today and are busy again. Why don't you take a nap? What time will I wake you up?"

"It's okay to take a nap!"

Chen Qi got on the bed, lay down and said, "Call me at five o'clock."

"Um!"

Gong Xue took his shoes and put them on the shoe rack at the door. This small house was very delicately tidied. She thought the cement floor was dirty, so she specially laid wooden floors and wore slippers in the house.

Chen Qi closed his eyes and suddenly asked: "When will "Mom Love Me Again" be released?"

"Director Wang said that it will be held at the film viewing party in March. China Film Association will organize sales of copies. Can it be released in the second quarter?"

"Oh, maybe I can catch up and see another masterpiece of our big star."

After saying that, he became quiet again.

Gong Xue leaned on the sofa and wanted to read a book. After a while, the man said again: "You come up too, otherwise I won't be able to sleep."

"You have so many things going on!"

She had no choice but to get on the bed and snuggle in his arms. Chen Qi put his arms around her waist, adjusted his position comfortably, and finally found the most relaxing feeling, and fell asleep after a while.

"..."

Gong Xue heard his breathing and knew he was asleep, so he gently got up and took a look.

"She is best behaved only when she is sleeping. She doesn't say anything, just like a child."

She couldn't get enough of Chen Qi, so she suddenly frowned, got out of bed lightly, found a hot water bottle and filled it with hot water. It was a bit hot, and wrapped it in a towel, covering her lower abdomen.

She is not feeling well today.

But she still wanted to go to Lechunfang in the evening. She knew that Chen Qi didn't care either, and the two of them were not in a physical relationship.

They were separated for a long time, and the time they slept together was only a month. They did not do it often, or they used condoms brought back from Hong Kong - they are all imported from Hong Kong and are relatively thin.

In Beijing, streets, work units, and family planning departments distribute free condoms, which are thicker than balloons.

It’s still that kind of yellow gel balloon. You can wash it clean after use and sprinkle it with talcum powder. It can be reused (as shown in the picture).

…………

at the same time.

Beijing Film Studio, director's office.

After Wang Yang sent Chen Qi away, he took out a piece of official paper from the drawer, put on his reading glasses, and wrote an application seriously.

In February this year, the central government issued a document titled "Decision on Establishing a Retirement System for Veteran Cadres."

The domestic cadre system is relatively chaotic. There are 2.5 million veteran cadres who worked during the Great Revolution, the Agrarian Revolutionary War, the Anti-Japanese War and the Liberation War, and most of them are still working.

This results in severe aging.

So the central government issued this document. The rough opinion is: Retirement at the department, bureau level and deputy ministerial level is generally no more than 60 years old, and senior officials are generally no more than 65 years old.

There are also special circumstances: for example, if you have reached the age, but due to the real need of work and your health can persist, you may not retire for a certain period of time and continue to hold leadership positions with the approval of the organization.

So starting from this year, some veteran cadres have gradually taken a back seat, usually with the title of "advisor".

Wang Yang is 62 years old and belongs to the category of retiree.

But he is still in good health and is too important to the Beijing Film Studio. Once he leaves, the group will inevitably be leaderless. Both individuals and the leaders of the Ministry of Culture are inclined to let him retire a few years later.

"Oh, I have been working for more than 40 years without realizing it."

Wang Yang finished writing the application and sighed with emotion: "I can last for another two years at most. I don't know who the organization will let me take over. What will happen to Beijing Film Studio in the future..."

He suddenly felt a sense of urgency. Now that Chen Qi was a variable, his thoughts were driven by passion. He just felt that he had to seize the time to do more things before retiring.

At the end, the old man signed his name and submitted it to the Ministry of Culture for approval. This was also communicated by both parties in advance.

He sealed the briefcase, thought for a while, got up and went out, wanting to go to the Ministry of Culture in person.
Chapter completed!
