That night.
In the bedroom, Chen Qi was working at his desk, really revising the script of "Red Dresses Are Popular on the Street". The original story was still a bit too vulgar, and for fashion films, they should be more fashionable.
Doing the math, Gong Xue has already filmed "Romance in Lushan", "Tai Chi 123", "Mom Love Me Again", "Beautiful Life" and "Under the Bridge", including this one, which is eight movies. And if she has a child, the next movie will be
It may have to wait until the year after next.
In almost a year and a half, in the current generation where traffic is dominant, those little flowers and little fresh meat have been reincarnated countless times. But now it is different, one work can be eaten for a long time.
Therefore, Gong Xue has been bombing for four consecutive years. She is the only one in China and has always been the most popular female star.
"Awkward?"
"Um?"
Chen Qi turned around. Gong Xue had just washed his hair and wrapped his head in a towel. He said, "How about you go to Hong Kong and make me some new clothes? I will wear them when I want to go to the United States."
"I remember it, and I need you to remind me!"
"I know you remember it, and I want to talk to you."
Gong Xue sat next to her, her eyes bulging, and her face full of yearning: "Do you think that Oscar is really that good? Will all the American literary and art circles attend?"
"Yes, yes, the president of the American Federation of Literary and Art Circles is also participating!"
"Be serious, let me ask you, is the Oscar the most powerful award in the world?"
"From a film industry perspective, yes!"
"What about American actors? I haven't come across them yet."
"Forget it, the left-wing filmmakers in Hollywood have been abolished, and the rest are just a bunch of rubbish. They are just sensual and frivolous. Actors, regardless of gender, if they want to get a role, 40% of their efforts must be in acting.
Sixty percent of the time is spent in bed..."
Chen Qi gave her a popular science red sofa. Gong Xue was stunned for a moment and asked doubtfully: "I can understand a woman, but how do actors trade?"
"Three flat ones are not as good as one round one. Fuck your butt to celebrate the New Year!"
"Bah, bah, bah! What did you say?"
"Seriously, it's true all over the world in ancient and modern times. Hollywood is just open. Don't think that male actors are safe and can't escape. Have you ever heard of a male nanny?"
"What's the meaning?"
"You're just a new guy, what should you do if you want to get ahead? Find a male star who has this kind of hobby, be his nanny, and wait on him in and out of bed. Once he's happy, he'll introduce you to him for filming, and he'll be a star in one fell swoop."
Chen Qi is not talking nonsense.
For example, Brad Pitt worked as a nanny when he was making a living in the 1980s.
"Dad, my mother! Is this still the literary and art world?"
Under his indiscriminate bombardment, Gong Xue was immediately disenchanted with Hollywood.
Chen Qi sighed: "We are bound by the environment. When we let go in the future, we won't have to give in too much. Let's laugh at the same time! Anyway, you understand now. When you see American celebrities, you stay away."
"Well, I'll stay away!"
Gong Xue nodded.
Chen Qi was very pleased. Just leave this kind of task to me. Brooke Shields is 19 years old! Jennifer Connelly is also 14 years old!
………………
Radio and Television Courtyard.
In the office, Wu Lengxi was reading a report that the radio and television system was organizing an inspection delegation to the United States.
After he had the idea of ​​​​merging movies and television, he immediately took action. This kind of thing must first be verified by actual examples. He knew some about the situation of American TV and movies, but he still organized an inspection team to go there, just to solidify the investigation.
In the 1950s and 1960s in the United States, the film industry was also impacted by television, and the industry was in decline. At that time, large companies worked for television stations, specializing in making short films that could be watched on television, commonly known as TV movies.
Does this word sound familiar?
Domestic movie channels were the first to show TV movies, which is what they learned from the United States. In fact, the reason why domestic movie channels were established in the 1990s was to provide relief for the movie market that was at its lowest point at that time.
The movie channel spends money to buy the studio's movies. Although it is not many, it at least has an additional distribution channel, which can help the studio get some blood.
Of course, the 1980s had not yet reached that point.
At this stage, Wu Lengxi sent people to the United States to investigate, just to enhance the persuasiveness of the unified management of film and television. As he watched, his secretary came to report: "Comrade Chen Qi has arrived!"
"Please!"
These two words made the secretary stunned. Good guy, please come quickly!
In the blink of an eye, Chen Qi entered the room.
"Minister Wu!"
"Xiao Chen is here, sit down quickly!"
Wu Lengxi smiled and was very enthusiastic. She made tea with her own hands. Chen Qi was not flattered at all. He was at the division level, and then he was only two levels behind the department level and ministerial level!
"You did a great job this Spring Festival Gala. CCTV received a room full of letters of praise from the masses. Most of them are due to you. Are you really willing to give up such a good stage and not do it next year?"
"A person's energy is limited, I am really busy."
"It's okay if you don't do it, just to express my understanding. I've always wanted to talk to you, but I just have time today..."
Wu Lengxi also drank tea and said with a smile: "I heard that you are still doing TV shows in Hong Kong?"
"Yes, I have cooperated with ATV several times."
"In your opinion, how does the mainland TV industry compare with Hong Kong? Don't have any worries and speak boldly. I know we are lagging behind, and we must have an objective understanding to make progress."
"Technological backwardness is a trivial matter, the key is the environment. If we want to catch up, we must rely on the loosening of the environment and the emancipation of the mind..."
Chen Qi was invited to come today. He and Wu Lengxi were not familiar with each other, so he would definitely not say anything practical and just talk for the occasion.
Wu Lengxi didn't seem to notice, chatting for a long time about this and that, and then asked: "TV dramas have developed rapidly in recent years, and the audience is increasing. I know there is a voice now that TV dramas have stolen the audience from movies. What do you think?"
?”
"There's nothing you can't steal. You still need to be tough to make iron!" Chen Qi said with a smile.
"Haha, yes, that's the truth!"
Wu Lengxi did not let him go and asked further: "You do both movies and TV shows, which one do you think is better?"
"..."
Chen Qi is not stupid, she is deliberately recruiting.
The key is that in history, the Ministry of Culture was indeed split, and the film system was transferred to the radio and television. But different from the real trajectory, the Ministry of Culture has an additional Eastern Company.
He thought for a moment and said seriously: "Honestly, I'm not sure whether I'm in the film system or not, because my superior unit is the Bureau of International Cultural Liaison, and my mission is to earn foreign exchange and export products.
As long as it meets this standard, I can make it. So you ask me which one is better, TV or movies? I really can’t answer.”
"..."
Wu Lengxi was silent for a while and nodded: "That's right, you have a special nature."
Immediately, the two chatted again, and Chen Qi left.
Wu Lengxi was in the room, thinking about it carefully, and sighed: "This is the only unit in the country, but it's really a bit troublesome!"
Chen Qi makes movies, but strictly speaking they are not part of the film system. Dongfang Company is an experimental field. If Radio and Television wants to come over, the Ministry of Culture will work hard, and if this goal is too conspicuous, the central government will also have objections.
He spent half a day, forget it, and decided to go to the United States for inspection first.
