After the "Into the New Era" concert was broadcast on CCTV, it was like a pebble suddenly thrown into the calm lake, stirring up countless ripples and causing huge controversy in the dull literary and artistic circles. The different styles of music in the concert made many audiences refreshed and applauded. However, there are many voices who think that the concert is a beautiful sound, and some people even wrote in a letter: "Twenty years from now, you will definitely sit on the approval seat of history."

In the days that followed, the mailroom of the CCTV radio compound received countless letters from all over the country. The audience couldn't figure out who was running the concert, and when they saw it playing on CCTV, they sent it to CCTV. In less than a week, the letters received by CCTV were packed in three sacks.

In a very short period of time, the melodies of songs such as "One Cut Plum", "Loyal to the Country" and "Hometown Clouds" began to echo in the streets and alleys. Xu Wangqiu and Su Bai entered the city, and from time to time they could hear passers-by humming the melody of a certain song in the concert. He was very happy with it, and that's what he wanted. There is a concert in front of the road, and Xu Wangchuan will have much less resistance to go to the cave.

On the afternoon of the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Xu Wangqiu, Xu Wangchuan and Mi Jiashan went to the office of the director of Xiuying Studio to talk to Zhang Xiaoping about going to the cave. After the Chinese New Year, Xu Wangchuan told Mi Jiashan about the plan to go to the cave and invited him to join. Mi Jiashan agreed without the slightest hesitation. His salary is more than fifty yuan, and now he has the opportunity to earn hundreds of thousands, how can he refuse.

When he arrived at Zhang Xiaoping's office, Xu Wangqiu did not rush to talk about going to the cave, and first told Zhang Xiaoping that the budget of "Falcon" should be about 3 million, and maybe even 5 million.

The script of "Falcon" passed the review of the Art Management Committee of Xiuying Studio last year, but Document No. 13 had not yet come out at that time, and Xu Wangqiu was not in a hurry to make a budget. If you had made a budget at that time, you could only do it at a maximum of 900,000. Now it is a planned economy, and if a plan is made, it cannot be revised. The preparation of "Falcon" has been going on slowly, in fact, it is waiting for Document 13.

Zhang Xiaoping chuckled and said, "Do you know how much profit our factory made last year? The cost of your film is 3 million, you really dare to speak!"

Xu Wangqiu smiled faintly and said, "Director Zhang, do you know how many 35mm copies of "Hoe Rape" sold? 453 copies. The copy income alone is 4.53 million. Do you know how many moviegoers are for "The Rape"? The total number of moviegoers for 35mm and 16mm films has exceeded 400 million, and the box office is nearly 50 million, and the final box office is likely to exceed 100 million yuan. According to the regulations, the box office reaches 20 million, and for every 10 million increases, the film studio will divide 1 million. If the box office reaches 100 million, then the film studio can divide 9 million. The overseas rights of the movie "Hoe Rape" have been sold for more than 2 million, and it may eventually be sold for 4 million. According to the regulations, the film studio can divide almost 3 million yuan. Together, the film studio can earn more than 16 million. I don't dare to say that the income of "Falcon" is necessarily higher than that of "Hoe Rape", but it certainly won't be too different. What can't you say with a 3 million investment?"

Zhang Xiaoping is very confident in "Falcon", believing that the repercussions caused by "Falcon" after its release will not be smaller than that of "Hoe Rape", and it is entirely possible for "Falcon" to bring tens of millions of profits to Xiuying Studio, and said with a smile: "If I say one word to you, you will pay me back ten sentences immediately." Rest assured, the investment will be fine, and you will make a detailed budget as soon as possible. ”

Xu Wangqiu nodded again and again: "I will come up with the detailed budget as soon as possible." ”

Zhang Xiaoping looked at Xu Wangchuan and Mi Jiashan next to Xu Wangqiu, took a sip of the teacup, and said slowly: "The three of you came here, it will definitely not be for this matter, what is there to say directly?"

Xu Wangqiu did not rush to say his purpose, but asked: "Director Zhang, what do you think of our factory's labor service company?"

Zhang Xiaoping didn't understand why Xu Wangqiu suddenly asked this, so he said: "What can I think, it is done by retiring educated youths who have returned to the city." They are all children in the factory, so they must find a way to settle them. Our factory staff is bloated, and there is no way to recruit them, so we can only place them in a labor service company. We don't expect labor service companies to make money, we just need to be able to support themselves. What do you ask about this, you don't think anything about labor service companies, do you?"

Xu Wangqiu is really fighting the idea of the labor service company, and he hopes to put a legal hat on the acupoint through the labor service company.

According to national regulations, those engaged in commercial performances must report to the local performance management center for approval, and the performance can only be performed after approval. For example, if you perform in Xichuan, you must get the approval of the Provincial Performance Management Center, and you can only perform after passing the approval.

Some acupuncture points will hang the performance under the name of the regular unit, apply to the competent department at a higher level, and wait for the performance to be carried out after approval. For example, Xu Wangqiu, in the name of Factory 132, submitted to the Provincial Performance Management Center for approval, and performed after passing the approval. The process of this kind of performance is completely legal, and it is called walking the official cave. Some acupuncture heads don't care about this, they don't apply for approval at all, they just go to rent a venue, and pull a group of people to start the show, which is called walking.

If someone really wants to be held accountable, they will be punished by the Ministry of Culture. It is much more cumbersome to go to the official point, but it is completely in line with national regulations, and even if you want to find faults, you can't find faults.

In order to put on a completely legal hat for the acupuncture, Xu Wangqiu targeted the labor service company of Xiuying Studio.

After the end of the movement, the return of educated youths to the city caused a serious peak of unemployment. It was difficult for educated youths to find formal jobs after returning to the city, and when they went to the countryside, they went down in the name of their parents' companies, and when they came back, they had to find the company where they worked. The central policy is that whoever takes the children away, which unit the parents are in, and which unit is responsible for arranging the work. As a result, the children of employees of state-owned enterprises were taken care of by the state-owned enterprises themselves. It's just that many factories don't have so many jobs, and there is no way to make them employees of enterprises, so they put them in affiliated enterprises such as labor service companies, which forms a large factory-run collective.

State-owned enterprises will not be contracted until a year later, and film studios will have to wait until the late 80s. However, there is no concern about the requirements of collective enterprises, and the phenomenon of contracting collective enterprises has already appeared in some places. Labor service companies are not state-owned enterprises, but collective enterprises, which fall within the scope of contracting.

Xu Wangqiu pointed at Xu Wangchuan and Mi Jiashan, and said with a smile: "The two of them want to enter the labor service company." ”

Xu Wangchuan and Mi Jiashan are regular workers in the factory and are members of the state, while the labor service company is collective people. Going to a labor service company as a regular worker is tantamount to throwing a golden bowl to hold a clay bowl. Mi Jiashan is a college graduate, and now he is an assistant director, and it is only a matter of time before he becomes a director, so how can he go to a labor service company.

Zhang Xiaoping naturally didn't believe it, but he believed that Xu Wangqiu couldn't mention the labor service company for no reason, and scolded with a smile: "Don't sell Guanzi to me, what are you kid fighting ghost ideas?"

Xu Wangqiu said with a smile: "The three of us hope to contract the labor service company in the factory. ”

"Contracted Labor Service Company?" Zhang Xiaoping was stunned for a moment, he felt that Xu Wangqiu and the others were crazy, and the labor service company was selling some snacks and the like, and it didn't make money, so he hurriedly persuaded, "Wangqiu, if you don't make a good movie, how do you think that the contracted labor service company is here? You are so talented in movies, you should seize the time to make more movies, and don't use your mind elsewhere." ”

Xu Wangqiu said righteously: "We want to explore the way for the reform of Chinese film enterprises. The box office income of foreign film studios accounts for only half of the film revenue, and they can make a lot of money through other means. We just wanted to give it a try. ”

Zhang Xiaoping saw that Xu Wangqiu sang the tune so high, and he really couldn't refute it, and muttered: "The rural areas have made a vigorous effort to carry out the household responsibility system for the production of goods, but we are a state-owned enterprise, can we contract?"

Mi Jiashan said with great certainty: "I asked the leaders of the province, and the answer was yes, saying that you can try." At present, the state is carrying out reforms, taking a road that has not been taken by its predecessors, and it needs to make various attempts. Some local township and town enterprises are already engaged in contracting, and our labor service company is also a collective enterprise, so of course it can contract. ”

Zhang Xiaoping nodded slightly, Mi Jiashan's father is the leader of the Xichuan Provincial Party Committee, Mi Jiashan is more familiar with the provincial leaders, since he asked the provincial leaders, and the leaders said that they can try, then they should be able to try.

Xu Wangqiu added: "The state will soon introduce a policy, and the film studios will definitely engage in the contracting system at that time." ”

Zhang Xiaoping was stunned: "How do you know?"

Xu Wangqiuhu said pretendiously: "When I held a meeting of studio directors last summer, I didn't make a suggestion, that is, to set up a film export company. Before the Chinese New Year, the state held a special meeting to discuss this matter. I also had the pleasure of participating. At the meeting, a comrade of the State Development Planning Commission said that domestic enterprises will soon have to engage in the contract system, and film studios are no exception.

Xu Wangqiu is really not talking nonsense; next year, Shougang will take the lead in implementing the contract system, which will become a banner for the reform of China's industrial enterprises; then state-owned enterprises will implement a management responsibility system with profit and loss as the main content, and film studios will gradually implement this system.

Zhang Xiaoping felt that the provincial leaders said that they could try, and the central government said that the contracting system would be implemented soon, so the contracting labor service department should be no problem, but such a big matter must be discussed by the factory leaders before a conclusion can be given, so he said: "How do you want to contract, do you have a specific plan?"

Xu Wangqiu expressed his thoughts and thoughts: "First of all, we hope to separate the labor service department, register it as a labor service company, operate independently, assume responsibility for its own profits and losses, and account independently. After we contract, we have the final say on the management of the entire company, and the general manager is responsible for the system......"

Many enterprises in this era lack the spirit of contract, and tearing up contracts is like commonplace.

The 1985 film "Acting Mayor" was the first film completed by Beijing Film Studio in the form of a contract. After the film was finished, it made a lot of money, and according to the contract, Beijing Film Studio should pay the film crew a share of 250,000 yuan. But Beiying broke the contract on the grounds that the financial system could not be changed, and relied on the money.

Xu Wangqiu and the three of them contracted labor service companies, and the possibility of Xiuying Studio defaulting on its debts is very small. However, it is indispensable to be cautious.

After talking about his requirements and ideas, Xu Wangqiu stared at Zhang Xiaoping and said slowly: "Finally, we promised Xiuying Studio that we would hand over 300,000 profits every year. ”

Hearing Xu Wangqiu say that he would hand over 300,000 profits every year, Zhang Xiaoping was startled: "How much do you say?"

Xu Wangqiu chuckled and said, "You heard it right, we hand over 300,000 yuan to the factory every year." ”

Zhang Xiaoping couldn't help but say, "What are you going to do with the Labor Service Department?"

Xu Wangqiu directly said the answer: "Walking into the New Era Concert, you should have watched it, right? When the concert was performed in Beiping and the magic capital, it was particularly sensational, and we thought that since the concert was so popular with the people, it should continue to be carried out and toured throughout the country. ”
