Chapter 355: Debriefing
After breakfast, Xu Wangqiu went to work slowly. When the employees of the company saw Xu Wangqiu coming back, they stepped forward to say hello. Xu Wangqiu smiled and nodded to them, and when he met someone who was more familiar, he would stop and chat.
When he was about to arrive at the office building, Xu Wangqiu saw Liu Lin following a beautiful girl, saying something as if flatteringly, and immediately shouted: "Liu Lin! You are so bold! You dare to harass a lesbian during the crackdown!"
Liu Lin was startled, thinking to himself who was harassing lesbians. When he looked up, he saw that it was Xu Wangqiu, and hurriedly said something to the girl, and walked over with her: "Wangqiu! You are finally back! The brothers want to kill you!"
Xu Wangqiu's eyes swept over the girl, the girl was not tall, about 1.58 meters, a bit like Zhang Yu, the star of "Lushan Love", smiled and teased: "Liu Lin! I haven't seen you for half a year, I have made great progress!
Liu Lin's old face flushed, and he laughed: "This is Lin Yue, a college student who was assigned to our factory last year." We're good friends with me. Then he said to the girl: "This is what I once mentioned to you, our good brother and good partner Xu Wangqiu." ”
Xu Wangqiu smiled and stretched out his right hand to the girl: "Lin Yue, hello." Nice to see you. ”
Lin Yue generously shook hands with Xu Wangqiu: "Hello." I'm Liu Lin's girlfriend. I often hear Liu Lin mention you, and Wu Zhiliu often mentions you. It's a pity that I haven't had the opportunity to meet, but I finally met today. ”
Xu Wangqiu didn't expect Lin Yue to directly admit that she was Liu Lin's girlfriend, and nodded secretly in his heart, this girl is refreshing enough, compared with her, Liu Lin's guy looked twisted, and said with a smile: "We have been worried about Liu Lin's personal problems, and now that he has a girlfriend, then we brothers will be hearted." ”
Lin Yue glanced at Liu Lin and said proudly: "That depends on his performance." ”
Liu Lin said angrily: "I must behave well!
Xu Wangqiu chatted briefly with Liu Lin for a while, made an appointment to have dinner together in the evening, and then walked to the office building. He didn't rush back to his office, and went to Wang Lanxi's office to report first.
Wang Lanxi saw that Xu Wangqiu was angry, and scolded him with a slashing head and covering his face. mainly scolded him for being self-righteous, underestimating the viciousness of the Kuomintang, and almost throwing away his life. Xu Wangqiu didn't refute, he listened quietly, he knew that this time because of his negligence, many people who cared about him were scared enough.
After teaching Xu Wangqiu a lesson, Wang Lanxi beckoned him and asked him to sit down and talk about the situation in Xiangjiang.
Xu Wangqiu made a brief report, mainly talking about two aspects.
One is Yindu's business development in Hong Kong, last year Yindu released more than 20 films, five of which entered the top 10 at the box office of Chinese films in Hong Kong. It can be said that it has achieved unprecedented success, and it has also shocked the entire Hong Kong film industry. Many people are exclaiming, the era of the silver capital has come.
The other is the issue of cooperation with the Xiangjiang film industry, because the films shot and distributed by Silver have exploded one after another, which makes the Xiangjiang film industry salivate with envy. They came to the door one after another, hoping to cooperate with Yindu, and even Zou Wenhuai found Xu Wangqiu, hoping to cooperate. However, after the assassination, the Hong Kong film industry was scared enough. Except for some of the more courageous, no one else dares to get too close to the mainland. But this is temporary, after all, it is profitable to cooperate with the mainland.
Wang Lanxi was very satisfied after listening to it, and told Xu Wangqiu about the internal affairs of the film system: "There will be major changes in the film system this year, and the state will issue a document to characterize the film industry as a public institution and enterprise management, all of which will be independently accounted for and responsible for their own profits and losses. Last year, some film studios were engaged in contracting pilots, and this year all film studios may start to engage in contracting. In addition, the Modu Film System has decided to carry out a pilot system reform, and the Modu Film Bureau will merge with the Modu Film Studio to form the Modu Film Corporation. The Film Bureau is also preparing to set up a China Film Corporation, and a preparatory group will be set up every once in a while. ”
Xu Wangqiu heard that there would be so many changes this year, and began to think about the impact of these reform measures on the film industry.
The film industry is characterized as a public institution and managed as an enterprise, with independent accounting and self-responsibility for profits and losses, which is a great good thing for the entire film industry.
The contracting system is different from what many people imagine, not that after the film is filmed, everyone shares the profits, but takes out a part of the cost savings and distributes it to the crew as a reward. For example, the cost of a film film studio and the crew was agreed to be 500,000 yuan, and in the end, the crew only used 400,000 yuan to finish filming, saving 100,000 yuan. The film studio took a part of the 100,000 yuan and distributed it to the crew as a reward. There are certain problems with this approach, which will make the crew find ways to reduce costs, which in turn will affect the quality of the film. Of course, the benefits are also very obvious, which can improve the enthusiasm of the crew.
In order to truly mobilize the enthusiasm and creativity of filmmakers and make films, it is necessary to implement profit sharing. It's just that it's impossible to do this at the moment, and now it's not even possible to raise the bonus, let alone directly share the profits. Only a few years later, when the film industry declines, will the implementation of profit sharing be successful.
Compared with the first two reform measures, the establishment of the Modu Film Corporation and the China Film Corporation is nonsense.
The magic capital actually wants to set up a company by classifying the film bureau and the film studio, the film studio is an enterprise, and the film bureau is an administrative agency.
The establishment of a film company by the Film Bureau is not much better. In the past, when the studio meeting was held, some people proposed the establishment of a film company, which would bring together the studios of the whole country and manage them in a unified manner. It's just that the disadvantages of engaging in this kind of production company are very obvious, except for a few people, most film studios do not agree.
I didn't expect the Film Bureau to really plan to do this now, it's really inexplicable!
Xu Wangqiu was very puzzled by this: "In the past, everyone was against the establishment of a film company, why are you sure to do it?"
Wang Lanxi felt that reform was to cross the river by feeling the stones, and that all kinds of methods could be tried, and only when they really tried could they know whether they were good or bad. Although he was not optimistic about the film company, he did not explicitly oppose it: "It was proposed by the reorganization of the body. In recent years, the state has carried out economic structural reform and established five major head offices for ships and silk. The reorganization of the system also intends to do the same, and wants to integrate the China Film Company and the film factory together, set up a large film company, first transfer the film factories in the ministry and Beiping to the head office, and then gradually bring the film factories and film companies of various provinces into the head office. ”
The reorganization is the group for the construction and reform of the film and television system, which was established in April last year at the request of the Propaganda Department, and is headed by Chen Huangmei, chairman of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, to investigate the system and current situation of film and television.
If it were in public, Xu Wangqiu might have considered the impact, but now he is privately spraying without any scruples: "The reorganization of the body has entered the brain, it is completely foolish! The film head office is in Beiping, and the provincial-level film factories are in the provinces, and in the future, the film projects will have to be approved and examined in Beiping, which will not only waste time but also increase costs; and the head office does not understand the specific conditions of each film factory and each province, and it is very difficult to carry out effective management. What a fool's errand! What about us, we're not going to row over, are we?"
Wang Lanxi shook his head slightly: "They do have this idea, but I don't agree, and the ministry doesn't agree, after all, our export company can earn tens of millions of foreign exchange for the country every year, and if something goes wrong, no one can afford to take this responsibility." ”
Xu Wangqiu breathed a sigh of relief slightly, as long as the export company didn't go over, it would be as they tossed, and said with a hippie smile: "Dean, since the entire film system is now trying to do all kinds of reforms, merging everywhere, and our pilot is so successful, then we should also suggest to the ministry that some other units be merged into our export company." ”
Wang Lanxi was stunned: "What bad idea do you kid have?"
Xu Wangqiu shouted and hit the sky: "Dean, aren't you wronging people! When did I have a bad idea? All the ideas I came up with are good, you can't wronged people." ”
Wang Lanxi scolded with a smile: "Okay, okay!
Xu Wangqiu said with a smile: "Can you discuss with the ministry and assign the Film Science and Technology Research Institute to our company." ”
Wang Lanxi said speechlessly: "You kid really dare to think about it!"
"Why don't I dare to think that they dare to assign various Beijing Film Studios and other factories to China Film, and the Technology Research Institute merges with our company, why can't it?" Xu Wangqiu retorted with two words, and quickly turned to the topic, "It takes money to engage in scientific research, and now the state is very stuck on scientific research funds, and even the scientific research funds of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have been greatly reduced, not to mention the Film Technology Research Institute." If we can assign the Institute of Film Technology to our company, we can spend money on them to conduct research! If the ministry does not agree to transfer the Institute of Film Science and Technology, then we should also set up the Institute ourselves. ”
Wang Lanxi stared at Xu Wangqiu for a few seconds before saying, "Why did you suddenly remember to start a research institute?"
Xu Wangqiu explained: "Now that the global film industry is on the eve of upgrading, the current film equipment, whether it is shooting equipment or projection equipment, will be replaced by a new generation of equipment. If we can come up with the appropriate equipment and seize the opportunity of upgrading, then our export company may become a world-class company and a giant in the film industry. ”
Wang Lanxi's heart moved: "Oh, what exactly do you mean by upgrading opportunities?"
Xu Wangqiu explained: "Dean, you have been to the United States for inspection, and you must know that movie theaters in the United States are upgrading to stereo sound, and they are building multiplex movie theaters. I think that in the future, cinemas all over the world will complete the upgrade from mono to stereo, from halls to multiplexes. How many movie theaters are there in the world? There may be hundreds of thousands, maybe even millions. These cinemas are all upgraded, and the entire projection system needs to be updated, what a big market this is. When the cinema projection system is upgraded, the film shooting equipment and post-production equipment need to be upgraded. It's another huge market. If we can get a piece of it, it's hundreds of millions, or even billions. ”
Wang Lanxi said speechlessly: "We don't even have stereo, it's still mono, and the gap with foreign countries is very big, how can our equipment have a market overseas." You little ghost, you haven't even learned, you want to learn to fly!"
Xu Wangqiu shook his head and said: "That's why we have to set up a film technology research institute, recruit research talents from Tsinghua University, cooperate with various research institutes and even poach people, and carry out corresponding development." Film technology is a big category, and we can't do everything. I think we can focus on two things, one is digital image technology, and the other is sound technology.
Not much to say about digital image technology, just talk about sound technology, now foreign theaters are upgrading from mono to stereo, and we don't have a stereo cinema now. In the future, our cinema will definitely be renovated, stereo cinema will be developed. Now that the country is short of foreign exchange, it is impossible to spend a lot of foreign exchange on the introduction of film equipment, and it must only be done by itself. We make stereo sound, even if we can't export it, it's always okay to meet domestic needs, right?
Therefore, we should stand up and let us do stereo technology. ”
