The last thing Chen Qi did before leaving was to meet Tong Gang from China Film.
Tong Gang is now the director of the distribution department. He was the deputy director of the West Film Studio from 1993 to 1995. "Westward Journey" was co-produced during that period. Later, China Film Group was established, and he became the general manager, and then the director of the Film Bureau.
.
Overall, he is a very capable person.
Chen Qi came here too early. He had seen many characters in the history books, and Tong Gang was already considered a little kid. Facing Chen Qi, his posture was also very low, because Chen Qi had nothing to ask for from China Film Academy.
Just come here.
The two of them talked.
In the end, an agreement was reached and the first option was adopted: that is, 10,000 yuan per copy, how much is ordered, and how much buyout fee China Film will give to Dongchang. Not only this year, but also all the films produced by Dongchang in the future will do this until there is
New cooperation model.
China Film Group gave up part of its profits.
Tong Gang said: "The China Film Association fully supports the reform of the studio and will be responsible for its own profits and losses and no longer rely on financial allocations."
Chen Qi said: "It is impossible to have no funding at all. The studio needs working capital. Cut off most of the funding, and the Ministry of Culture will provide some subsidies every year. If it reaches this level, it will be considered a success."
For example, Beijing Film Studio has a quota of 12 films per year.
Beijing Film Studio submits its filming plans on a quarterly basis, and the Ministry of Culture allocates funds according to the budget. It also has to allocate funds for daily operations. For a unit with a thousand people, this is a lot of money.
What Chen Qi means is that from now on, the Ministry of Culture will provide some liquidity and ignore the rest. In short, both parties have the same goal for the time being, which is to disintegrate the studio system first.
After Tong Gang finished talking, he felt like his head was sweating. This guy was cruel and mature at the same time. The views he put forward were very in line with the actual situation. To deal with the studio now, he might use more vicious methods to deal with China Film in the future!
He went back to report to Sun Jianmin.
Sun Jianmin also knew that this was a helpless move, but fortunately the agreement was reached. He took the time to hold a movie viewing party to promote "Life is Beautiful", "Tai Chi 3" and "Orphan's Revenge".
"Orphan" needs to delete some large-scale scenes, which will inevitably affect the look and feel of the entire film. But there is no way now. It will be fine in two years. In two years, the atmosphere will be greatly opened up, and all kinds of novelties will be available on the screen.
It’s the end of June in the blink of an eye.
The delegation of more than 20 people finally set off, first from Beijing to Shanghai, and then from Shanghai to San Francisco. There was plenty of time to transfer, and Chen Qi accompanied Gong Xue back home, which was considered a newlywed return home.
Continue waiting in the waiting room and listen to Liu Zhigu's lecture.
"During this visit, I emphasize three points: discipline! Discipline! Discipline!"
"There are 25 people in total. One of them will leave without leaving behind and the other will come back without leaving behind. When we arrive at the place, we must obey orders and act in groups. It is strictly forbidden to go out privately and have private contact with foreigners. If anyone is a target, don't blame me for being rude!"
Chen Qi didn't recognize many of these 25 people, so he guessed they might be security and supervisory personnel. The visiting group went there in great fanfare, and if a few of them were to sneak away, it would be useless.
Last year's Hu Na incident was very disastrous, and there was an even more exaggerated incident later. In 1988, the Shanghai Peking Opera Troupe's "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" crew went to the United States to perform, and about 30 people stayed together.
Liu Zhigu looked fierce. He was not a high-ranking person, but as the team leader, he should have obtained the Shang Fang Sword and must guard against it. Chen Qi turned his head and whispered: "Sister, we can always share a room when we go out this time, right?"
"You want to do bad things when we live together."
"It really can't be done. Who knows if the Americans will install bugs on us? Wouldn't it mean that they can listen to the root of the window?"
"ah???"
Gong Xue opened her eyes wide and said, "Are you deceiving me or are you serious?" "Really, you can't overestimate their bottom line!"
"Then don't live with me. Why are you living here if you can't do anything? So as not to leak state secrets." Gong Xue covered her mouth and smiled. "Hey, you are not shy anymore, you have become shy."
Chen Qi sighed. After getting married, Gong Xue's yin and yang were harmonized, her body and mind were happy, and her energy and energy reached a peak state. She looked younger than before, but became more delicate and charming. He couldn't do it, he felt that he would have to drink tiger penis soon.
Got drunk.
At this moment, Liu Zhigu and several other leaders suddenly stood up and moved forward to greet them. However, another group of people arrived, including seven or eight people.
The leader was quite tall, in his 50s, wearing a suit and tie, with meticulous hair. When he saw the delegation, he showed a very friendly smile, walked over quickly, and made a loud and powerful noise:
"Comrades from the visiting delegation, hello, hello!" "Hello, hello, have you just arrived in Shanghai?"
"I arrived early. I was delayed for a while because of something, but luckily I made it in time."
Liu Zhigu knew the itinerary and would set off with the inspection team from the Ministry of Electronic Industry. The two departments had never met, but this did not prevent them from being warm and polite. After the leader exchanged greetings with Liu Zhigu, he asked: "Who is Comrade Chen Qi?
?”
"Xiao Chen!"
Chen Qi took a few steps forward, his face calm, and shook hands with the other party.
The leader looked at it for a few times and let out a chuckle: "You are a talented person, young and promising. I heard that you and Comrade Gong Xue are getting married, so I would like to congratulate you!" "You are too polite, I forgot to bring it with you!"
Happy candy."
The leader laughed a little more when he heard this and said, "I have watched every one of your movies. They are good. What are your recent plans?" "When I come back from the United States, I have to go work in Hong Kong. There are several new movies this year."
"Oh? Li Lianlian is also filming "Tai Chi"?"
"The market is a little tired of costume kung fu movies, and I want him to transition into making modern action movies." "Okay, I'm looking forward to your new work!"
After chatting for a while, the delegation went to sit on the other side.
Gong Xue pulled him and asked in a low voice: "Can we all go together?"
"Well, they are also in San Francisco and have to attend the consulate's dinner together." "The leader seems very easy-going."
"I also feel that many old comrades are more serious, but he is very kind."...
After waiting for a while, we started to board the plane.
Not many people fly in China these days, let alone go abroad. This flight does not happen every day. It is also the first time for some leaders to go abroad, and most of them are nervous and looking forward to it.
The whole journey was silent.
After a long flight, we finally arrived in San Francisco, USA. San Francisco is the Chinese name, San Francisco in Cantonese, and its real name is San Francisco.
When we were about to land, everyone rushed to look out of the window. This is one of the most developed cities on the West Coast. Whether it was the cityscape, streets, high-rise buildings, or the Golden Gate Bridge, or the cars running on the road, everyone was amazed.
There is no comparison between Chinese and American cities in the 1980s. For 99% of Chinese people, there is a feeling of suddenly stepping into a "lighthouse of humanity".
Chen Qi saw Gong Xue's excitement and couldn't help but said: "I know you like the bourgeois life. When you come to the United States, you must stand firm and not waver. You are the most popular star in the country after all. What if someone comes to win you over?"
"You will make fun of me! I will just follow you." Gong Xue snorted.
"Then what if I waver?" "I don't care, I'm blind!"
Chen Qi was delighted and pinched her little face.
Everyone got off the plane and finally got out after a long wait.
The consulate staff will pick you up, arrange vehicles, and the visiting group and inspection group will go their separate ways.
Chen Qi got in the car, opened the window, and took a breath of sweet air: "Ah! 18-year-old Brooke Shields, 13-year-old Jennifer Connelly, 12-year-old Winona Ryder...
