Xu Wangqiu didn't know if Brother Chen Kai could listen to his own words, Brother Chen Kai was not a person who could listen to other people's opinions. In fact, most of the people who engage in art are like this, they feel that they are the most awesome and can't listen to other people's opinions.

Xu Wangqiu still hopes that his words can touch Brother Chen Kai, and hopes that Brother Chen Kai will return to the normal track. He knows very well that if Brother Chen Kai goes down the current path, not to mention becoming a film master like Hou Xiaoxian, even if he gives the book of "Farewell My Concubine" to Brother Chen Kai, I am afraid it will also be made into a mediocre work.

Brother Chen Kai is talented, and he really doesn't want Brother Chen Kai to be ruined like this.

However, what should be said has already been said, and where Chen Kaige will go in the future can only depend on himself.

In the following days, Xu Wangqiu was mainly busy with two things, writing the application report of the Audiovisual Research Institute, and busy with movie scripts. He had to read the scripts handed to the art center by various film studios and the Heung Kong Film Company, and also wrote his own new scripts.

Xu Wangqiu had already figured out what to shoot in front of "Thirteen Soldiers Return to the Jade Gate", and he decided to shoot a dream, a story about a person trapped in a dream. He said to Brother Chen Kai, you want to shoot what you really want to shoot in your heart, and dreams are what he really wants to shoot.

In many cases, the protagonist's first reaction after crossing is, I crossed over, it's just great! Xu Wangqiu is not like that. He thought it was a dream, but it was too real. It took him a long time before he convinced himself that it wasn't a dream, that he had really crossed over.

However, the doubts in his heart never disappeared, and sometimes he couldn't help but think, maybe I wasn't killed, but I was seriously injured, and now everything is a dream, and the real me is lying in a hospital bed.

For a long time, Xu Wangqiu didn't feel anything, if it was really crossed, then with the knowledge in his memory, he could do a lot of things, and he could live very comfortably; But as he became more and more successful, fear grew inside. He was afraid that everything was fake, that it was a dream, that he was afraid of losing everything he had.

Xu Wangqiu is afraid that if he continues to struggle, he will commit suicide like Mel in "Inception". He wanted to confide, but he couldn't tell anyone the secret, he couldn't find someone to talk to. For him, making a movie of what he thinks in his heart is undoubtedly the best choice. In this way, I can not only pour out my inner confusion, but also will not reveal my inner secrets.

There are many movies about dreams, such as Bergman's "Wild Strawberries", and later generations also have "Mulholland Drive", "Life and Death Stay" and other works. Most of these movies are very obscure, and ordinary viewers basically can't understand them without watching the analysis.

Xu Wangqiu did not want to make an esoteric film like "Mulholland Drive", which was not in line with his philosophy and contrary to the purpose of the People's Film Movement. He wanted to make a dream movie that was not so obscure, but wonderful and connotative. If the technical conditions allow and there are enough funds, he wants to make a sci-fi blockbuster like "Inception", but unfortunately there are no conditions now, so he can only make a feature film.

The application report was completed quickly, and Xu Wangqiu handed the report to Wang Lanxi, waiting for approval.

Wang Lanxi believes that the strength of export companies is still too weak to carry out such a project as 5.1 channel, and the forces of all parties should be coordinated to work together. He submitted the report to the Ministry of Culture, which he was going to carry out in the name of the Ministry of Culture, and the specific work was handed over to the export company.

The time soon came to the end of the year, and the Spring Festival was just around the corner. Xu Wangqiu's three siblings and Su Bai boarded the train to Rongcheng and went home for the New Year. Xu Zhuwen and Xie Chunhong were very happy to see their three children come back. They shushed the cold and asked for warmth, for fear that the three children would be freezing and hungry outside.

In the next few days, Xu Wangqiu's family continued to receive guests. Xu Wangchuan and Xu Wangbei both belong to the category of people who have better interpersonal relationships, and knowing that they are back, classmates and friends have come to the door. Xu Wangqiu has always been a lone ranger in junior high school and high school, and he doesn't interact much with his classmates, but he is now the director of the art center of the export company.

That night, when watching TV, Xu Wangqiu found that Xichuan TV was broadcasting "Shaolin Kid", and his face suddenly sank. "Shaolin Kid" is a new film starring Li Lian, Xiangjiang is preparing to be released during the Spring Festival, but the mainland has not yet been officially released, but I didn't expect the TV station to broadcast it first. If the TV station is not prevented from continuing to broadcast it, the box office of "Shaolin Kid" in the mainland will definitely be greatly discounted, and the export company will inevitably suffer heavy losses.

Television stations belong to the radio and television system, while export companies are cultural systems, not systems. Xu Wangqiu knew that finding a TV station would not work, and others would not give him face. He hurriedly called Wang Lanxi and asked him to stop the movie from being broadcast.

When Wang Lanxi heard that "Shaolin Kid" was rushed, he immediately contacted the Ministry of Radio, Film and Television, and the Ministry of Radio, Film and Television contacted Xichuan Radio and Television Hall to ask them to stop the TV station from rushing to broadcast "Shaolin Kid". In the end, under the coordination of the Provincial Radio and Television Department, Xichuan TV gave up its plan to continue broadcasting "Shaolin Kid".

Shortly after the Chinese New Year, the Film Bureau held a meeting of the studios. According to a data reported by the Film Bureau, the number of Chinese film screenings fell by 1.4 billion last year. When the attendees heard this number, they all felt their scalps tingle. The number of moviegoers has been declining in the past two years, but it used to be hundreds of millions of drops, but I didn't expect it to be 1.4 billion this year, which is really amazing.

The fact that the number of moviegoers has fallen so sharply shows that the impact of television sets is intensifying. From 78 years to the present, in just a few years, more than 100 TV production lines have been introduced across the country, and TVs are gradually entering thousands of households. In addition, the phenomenon of rush and piracy of television stations is particularly severe, and the phenomenon of rushing and pirating has occurred in almost every province, and the film system has suffered heavy losses.

The problem of TV station rush and piracy is what the film system will talk about every time it meets. China Film Company also hired a lawyer to fight lawsuits with some TV stations to create public opinion and put pressure on the other party. But it can't solve the problem at all, and the other party doesn't care at all, because there is no copyright law in China, and the film studios and television stations are all enterprises owned by the whole people, so they can't win the lawsuit at all.

In this case, the contradiction between the film studio and the TV station can only be coordinated through the higher-level departments, but the film is under the control of the Ministry of Culture, and the TV station is under the management of the Ministry of Radio, Film and Television.

For example, last year, Shandong TV station preemptively broadcast "Wulin Zhi", and the director of the film bureau of the Ministry of Culture sent a telegram to dissuade it, but the TV station broadcast it correctly. For example, the Hunan Provincial TV Station rushed to broadcast the problem, and the Provincial Propaganda Department could not stop it. Another example is the mayor of a medium-sized city in Heilongjiang Province, who decided that the city's new films would be broadcast by television stations first, and then screened in theaters.

Xu Wangqiu knew that in order to solve the problem of piracy by television stations, either the state should introduce a film copyright law as soon as possible, or the film system and the television system should be merged. The copyright law will not come out in the short term, and even if there is a copyright law, whether it can be enforced is also a question. Film and television merger is relatively much easier, but the negative problems brought by film and television merger are not necessarily smaller than now.

At the same time as Xu Wangqiu's meeting, Xu Wangchuan talked to Ni Guangnan about cooperation, hoping that Ni Guangnan would help Shuguang develop Hanka. Ni Guangnan readily agreed, but he proposed that now is the critical moment to develop the LX-80 associative Chinese character system, and he must wait for the LX-80 to come out before he can make a Hanka. He said that Hanka is to integrate the Chinese character system into a card, and when the LX-80 comes out, the LX-80 can be directly integrated into the card, which can save a lot of time.

Xu Wangchuan agreed without thinking about it, willing to wait for Ni Guangnan. Hanka's technical difficulty is not particularly great, and it can be done by finding someone else to do it. However, experts like Ni Guangnan, who have studied abroad and have in-depth observation and thinking about the computer industry, cannot be found. Dawning needs a chief engineer, and Ni Guangnan is the best candidate.

Shortly after the studio meeting, Xu Wangqiu received a call from Xia Meng. She told Xu Wangqiu on the phone that the post-production work of the film had been completed and the samples had been completed. Xu Wangqiu told Xia Meng the contact information of the Asian filmmakers of the Cannes Film Festival, and asked her to contact the filmmakers and ask the filmmakers to go to Xiangjiang to watch the film, so that the film could compete in Cannes.

On this morning, Wang Lanxi called Xu Wangqiu to the office to talk about the problem of the Audio-Visual Research Institute.

Wang Lanxi put the approval of the superior in front of Xu Wangqiu: "The approval has come down, and it is agreed that we will establish an audio-visual research institute." ”

Xu Wangqiu took the approval notice and looked at it, and found that it was the approval of the Ministry of Affairs. There are three contents: first, it is agreed in principle that the export company will set up an audio-visual research institute; second, the 5.1-channel project will be self-financed by the export company; and third, it will be jointly developed by the export company and various scientific research institutes. He said in surprise: "How is it the approval of the Ministry of Affairs?"

Wang Lanxi explained with a smile: "This project involves tens of millions of funds, and it must be reported to the above. In addition, we need researchers to set up research institutes, and we have to transfer people from other research institutes, and if we directly ask for people, others may not agree, and with this approval, we can transfer people justifiably. ”

Xu Wangqiu gave a thumbs up: "High, it's really high!"

Wang Lanxi scolded with a smile: "You little ghost, you don't learn something good for a day! If it were in the revolutionary war years, I think you kid would be a traitor. After scolding, he looked at Xu Wangqiu and said with some emotion: "Wangqiu! You just do what you think, don't worry about it, and do it boldly. Anything, just come to me. I happen to be free today, so I'll say a few more words to you. ”

Xu Wangqiu saw that Wang Lanxi's expression suddenly became serious, and he pricked up his ears to listen to what he had to say.

Wang Lanxi looked at Xu Wangqiu's young face and said softly: "Wangqiu, you are very smart, probably the smartest young man I have ever met; But you have a particularly big problem, that is, you are easy to be emotional, and often come by temperament. If you're just a director, there's no problem at all, artists are emotional, but you're not just a director, you're the director of the art center, and you're definitely going to do more important work in the future. Managers cannot be emotional, they must remain rational, and they cannot be driven by nature. I'm still here, and if there's any problem, I can protect you, but I'm old enough to retire next year......"

When Xu Wangqiu heard this, he hurriedly said: "Dean, you are still in the prime of life, how can you retire?

Wang Lanxi waved his hand and said: "This is a national regulation, when you reach retirement age, you should retire and make room for young people." Even if I retire, I will work as an advisor to the company and will not leave the company. Or do you say it. You must get rid of your own faults, and when you talk and do things in the future, you must think more about it, and don't be emotional. Otherwise, even if you have yourself, you will hit your head and bleed. You have to remember!"

Xu Wangqiu does like to be emotional sometimes, and in his last life, he suffered a lot because of this problem. He knew that Wang Lanxi cared about himself and was afraid that he would suffer losses in the future, so he said respectfully: "I remember! I will definitely change!"
