Wang Lanxi didn't speak, just nodded at Zhang Ping.

Song Huaigui couldn't help but ask, "Teacher Zhang, why do you call Mr. Wang and Minister Wang?"

Zhang Ping was very surprised when he heard this, thinking that you and Minister Wang didn't even know what he did, you must be too confused, so he said: "This is Minister Wang in charge of film in the Ministry of Culture, you are really blind." ”

Song Huaigui was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly apologized to Wang Lanxi: "Minister Wang, I'm really sorry, we don't know your true identity, we were so negligent just now, and please don't remember the villain." ”

Wang Lanxi smiled and waved his hand, "Have you neglected me? In fact, I would like to thank you for the gradual increase and decrease in the number of Chinese film visits abroad in the past two years. Buying costumes for the actors is quite a headache, and you are willing to provide costumes for the actors, but you have helped us a lot. ”

Song Huaigui breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, but still said: "I really neglected you today, I don't think it's as good as this, tomorrow night I will hold a banquet with Mr. Pierre Cardin at the Xinqiao Hotel to make amends to you." ”

When Wang Lanxi heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I have received your wishes, but there is no need to eat." ”

Song Huaigui immediately said: "Knowing that Minister Wang is busy, then we will owe this meal first." When Minister Wang is free, we will invite him again. ”

Xu Wangqiu couldn't help but glance at Song Huaigui, thinking that this woman was really powerful, she was so good at talking. She wanted to invite a guest to dinner, but after being refused, it became that she owed Wang Lanxi a meal, making Wang Lanxi a creditor and could collect debts at any time. After two years, waiting for the eldest brother's company to open, it was too suitable to bring her in as a marketing director. However, this is unlikely, and a literary middle-aged man like her is definitely not interested in computer sales.

Wang Lanxi smiled noncommittally and said, "There will definitely be opportunities in the future." ”

When Xu Wangqiu and Wang Lanxi left, Pierre Cardin couldn't help but say, "Xu is really, he didn't tell us the truth. I don't tell us Mr. Wang's status as a minister, only the identity of the general manager of his film company. Fortunately, Mr. Wang's bearing is extraordinary, and he doesn't look like an ordinary person, and we are not rude, otherwise we would be in trouble. ”

Song Huaigui nodded and said, "Yes, fortunately, we are not rude." She looked at Pierre Cardin and said, "It's true that Minister Wang is also the general manager of the Film Export Company, and it is also true that Xu Wangqiu is the director of the Film Export Company, but don't you think it's strange that the two of them went out to eat together? ”

Pierre Cardin didn't think there was anything wrong with it: "If Xu is an ordinary person, it's a little strange. But Xu is not an ordinary person, Xu's parents are both officials, and they are likely to be high-ranking officials. Mr. Wang may be his elder, or a friend of his parents, so it is not surprising that they go out to eat together. ”

Song Huaigui nodded slightly: "This is what I want to say, I have heard that Xu Wangqiu is the child of a certain general, and now it seems that it should be true." Otherwise, he would not have been able to go out to eat with Minister Wang. Xu Wangqiu is very knowledgeable and the child of a high-ranking official, and I think it is necessary for us to have a good relationship with him, which will be very beneficial to Pierre Cardin's development in China. ”

Pierre Cardin had the same idea: "We not only agreed to the clothing sponsorship, but also promised Mr. Wang, and we must do it well." It's up to you to take care of it, and it's best to have a dedicated team to take care of it. ”

Song Huaigui felt it was a good idea to set up a team to do this: "I will do this well." She reminded: "Xu Wangqiu said that he will come to Cannes with the Chinese film delegation in May, and then we can entertain the Chinese film delegation in the name of partners." In this way, he not only had a good relationship with Xu Wangqiu, but also had a good relationship with the Chinese film delegation. ”

Pierre Cardin bowed slightly: "Yes, treat them well when the time comes." ”

Xu Wangqiu also didn't hear the conversation between Song Huaigui and Pierre Cardin, if he heard it, he would definitely laugh out of his belly, I, a worker's child, how did I become the son of a high-ranking official?

However, this kind of thing is not unusual, for example, after Tian Congming became the vice minister of radio and television in the 90s, there were many rumors that he was Tian Jiaying's son. For example, after Huang Shengyi's husband Yangzi became famous, there were rumors that he was the grandson of so-and-so.

At this time, Xu Wangqiu was following Wang Lanxi's side and slowly walking along the street. Wang Lanxi is the vice minister and the general manager of the film export company, so he must have a car when he goes out. However, after the car sent him and Xu Wangqiu to the mouth of Cotton Hutong this afternoon, he let the car go back. He was going to finish dinner and take a walk with Xu Wangqiu. Yesterday, he was talking to Xu Wangqiu, and before he could talk about some things, he received a call from the central authorities, so he had to stop the conversation. Today, he plans to have a good talk with Xu Wangqiu.

Wang Lanxi said with a smile: "You kid is really good enough to say, under normal circumstances, the leader will have a simple communication with the director after watching the movie, usually only a few minutes, but today I was stunned to listen to you talk about the film industry for half an hour." Going out to dinner in the evening, you convinced the Frenchman named Pierre Cardin again to let him provide costumes for our films and delegations for free. You also live in our time, and if it were in ancient times, I think you could have become a first-class lobbyist. ”

Xu Wangqiu said with a hippie smile: "It all depends on the cultivation of leaders." ”

Wang Lanxi laughed: "Which leader can cultivate a slippery head like you? But seriously, you persuaded Pierre Cardin to provide costumes for our actors, and you really made a contribution to the country." ”

Xu Wangqiu said with a smile: "I have made meritorious contributions to the country, is there any reward?"

When Wang Lanxi heard this, he didn't answer, but asked, "How is your paper prepared?"

Xu Wangqiu nodded and said, "It's almost written." ”

"You complete the thesis defense as soon as possible, and when you get your graduation certificate, we can officially arrange a job for you. Wang Lanxi smiled and said, "Don't you want a reward? When the time comes, you will be allowed to enter the creation center and become the director of the art center." ”

Xu Wangqiu was stunned when he heard this, the art center of the film export company is mainly in charge of film creation, and the director, photographer, and art are all its employees, which can be said to be the core strength of the export company, so he said: "Dean, you're not joking with me, are you?"

Wang Lanxi said seriously: "It's not a joke, it's true." ”

Xu Wangqiu couldn't help but say, "I just graduated, it's not suitable for me to be the director of the art center, right?"

Xu Wangqiu knows that the state is now advocating the rejuvenation of leading cadres and is vigorously training young cadres. This is true not only for government agencies, but also for businesses. Take Han Shanping as an example, Han Shanping was admitted to the Chinese Department of Sichuan University in 78, and after graduating from Sichuan University and returning to Xiuying Studio, Xiuying Studio immediately sent him to Nortel's directing department for further study. After Han Shanping completed the refresher course and returned to the Xiuying Studio, the factory immediately appointed him as the director of the art center to be in charge of the film creation of the Xiuying Studio.

However, Han Shanping is a cut older than Xu Wangqiu, who was already 30 years old when he became the director of the art center, while Xu Wangqiu was only 20 years old. More importantly, Xiuying Studio is a provincial enterprise, while the Film Export Company is a unit directly under the state, and the general manager of the company is concurrently served by the vice minister. Xu Wangqiu doesn't know what level the director of the art center belongs to, and it is likely to be at the department level.

I am afraid that there will be no second 20-year-old department-level cadre in the whole country.

This matter will be put on hold in the future generations, if someone stabs the matter on the Internet, it is estimated that there will be a disturbance on the Internet, and netizens will turn Xu Wangqiu upside down. Although Xu Wangqiu will not be skinned like in later generations, it is inevitable to be gossiped about.

Wang Lanxi knew what Xu Wangqiu was worried about, and said with a smile: "You don't need to worry about this, this is not my opinion alone, our leading group has studied this matter." As I told you yesterday, last year the export company invested in several films, but none of the films produced were satisfactory and could not be sold overseas. After the filming of "Shaolin Temple", the people of the Dongying Shaolin Temple Boxing Alliance wanted to return it, forcing us to reshoot. Our films need to be exported to earn foreign exchange, and we need someone who has a deep understanding of overseas markets and commercial films to be in charge of creation, and you are undoubtedly the most suitable person. ”

Xu Wangqiu smiled embarrassedly and said, "I'm afraid that I can't do it well and lose your face." ”

When Wang Lanxi heard this, he thought to himself that your kid is still humble with me, will I believe you, and said with a smile: "Others don't know you, don't I know you yet? When filming "The Rape", you gave advice to the Magic Shadow Studio and let them build a film and television park. In October last year, the Shadow Factory amusement park officially opened, causing a huge sensation, and it can be said that it is hard to find tickets. Due to the hot ticket sales, group tickets must be booked in advance, and a letter of introduction must be issued by the unit. In less than half a year, the Shadow Factory recovered its costs. Now the Shadow Factory is ready to expand, preparing to increase from six amusement projects to eight projects. A few days ago, I met Wang Yang from Beijing Film Studio, and he told me that their Beijing Film Studio is also preparing to build a film and television park.

I absolutely believe in your vision and ability. Don't be afraid to make mistakes, it's normal for young people to make mistakes at work, and if anything, I'm the one who has a problem. Taizu said that the world is ours and yours, but in the final analysis, it is still yours. Didn't you say that it will take at least 30 years for Chinese films to achieve industrialization, this is a long process, and you young people can only achieve this goal. What we old men can do is to set up a stage for you, give you a chance, and let you take the lead earlier. ”

When Xu Wangqiu heard this, he immediately said, "Dean, I won't let you down!"

Xu Wangqiu hopes to complete the defense as soon as possible and take up a formal post in the export company. However, in the past, Toei and Tokuma Yasushi quickly talked about matters related to "A Game of Chess That Wasn't Finished", but it was imminent, and the matter of thesis defense could only be put later. Xu Wangqiu stepped on Dongying's plane, accompanied by Hu Jian, deputy general manager of the film export company, and producer Fang Zhenwu.

This time, Xu Wangqiu and the others went to Dongying to not only discuss the script, but also to talk about the specific terms of cooperation. Because this film was filmed for the 10th anniversary of the normalization of diplomatic relations between China and Japan, the state attaches great importance to this matter, and after the cooperation is negotiated, it will be reported to the Ministry of Culture and approved by the vice president/manager in charge of culture. After passing the approval, the film will be officially approved.

Hu Jian has been abroad for a long time and has a good understanding of the situation abroad, while Fang Zhenwu is going abroad for the first time, and his understanding of Dongying is limited to Dongying movies such as "Manhunt" and "Wangxiang", and he keeps asking about Dongying's situation.

Xu Wangqiu sat by the window, looking at the white clouds like fish scales outside the window, and remembered the last time he went to Tokyo to participate in the Tokyo Film Festival. The Tokyo Film Festival has not yet been born, and it will not be born until the Tokyo Film Festival in '85. The first film festival in China will not be until 92 years, on August 23, 1992, the first Changchun Film Festival officially opened. Xu Wangqiu was four years old that year.
