After completing the work of Xiangjiang and returning to Beiping, Xu Wangqiu came to the export company as soon as possible and reported to Wang Lanxi. Wang Lanxi sat in the office reading the documents, and when he saw Xu Wangqiu coming in, he put down the documents and listened to Xu Wangqiu's report.

Xu Wangqiu opened his notebook and reported in detail the results of his trip to Xiangjiang. This trip to Hong Kong was definitely a success. Not only did "Falcon" hit the box office and get Li Hanxiang, but after announcing the policy of the export company, large and small film companies in Xiangjiang came to the door, hoping to cooperate with the export company and Yindu.

After the report, Xu Wangqiu said with a smile: "Dean, after announcing the policy of the export company, large and small film companies in Xiangjiang have come to seek cooperation. In fact, there are many directors with good skills, and with these directors joining, the problem of our export company's lack of excellent commercial film directors has been solved to a large extent. ”

Wang Lanxi still has a good understanding of the situation in Xiangjiang, and reminded: "Don't be too optimistic, Xiangjiang has always been a wrestling ground between us and the Kuomintang, and their power in Xiangjiang is very strong, and they will definitely not sit idly by." After we introduce the co-production policy, they will definitely make a move and will definitely do everything in their power to sabotage our cooperation with Hong Kong filmmakers. ”

Xu Wangqiu is very confident in this: "We are not afraid of the bend of the Taiwan bend, but we are afraid that they will not make a move." The policy we introduced is that if you co-produce with us, you can get a share, and if Taiwan does it with us, then they can only do this, and let Taiwan film companies share with Xiangjiang Films. In order to protect their own interests, what will the Taiwan bend film dealers do? The best way is to increase the import of Hollywood films in order to obtain high profits. With the standard of Hong Kong films, it will definitely not be Hollywood's opponent, and the final result must be that Hong Kong films will be driven out of the stage by Hollywood. In this way, the Hong Kong filmmakers have no choice but to completely turn to us. ”

Wang Lanxi was amazed in his heart, this kid really saw the problem farther than everyone else, and said with a smile: "If they don't make a move, a large number of Xiangjiang filmmakers will fall to us; if they make a move, they will force more filmmakers to fall to us." From the moment the co-production policy was thrown, they had already lost. ”

Xu Wangqiu nodded and said, "In the face of absolute strength, intrigue and trickery are useless. We have a population of 1 billion and there are only 20 million in Taiwan, and our market is much larger than Taiwan, and this alone makes us invincible. However, the introduction of directors from Hong Kong can only solve the problem for a while, and in the end, we still need to train our commercial film directors. But now the entire public opinion environment is discriminatory against commercial films, and Nortel teaches students all like the New Wave and New Realism, which is the biggest problem we face. ”

A few years ago, when Wang Lanxi saw Xu Wangqiu's article about learning from Hollywood, he felt that this kid had a very broad vision and had his own ideas, but he didn't particularly agree with Xu Wangqiu's views. However, after starting an export company, he realized that Xu Wangqiu's point of view was right. If art films become the mainstream of Chinese films, it will push Chinese films into a very dangerous situation. It's just that now that he is learning from Europe and taking the road of art films, the concept has become the mainstream of the film industry, and he is powerless to change it.

Wang Lanxi looked at Xu Wangqiu and said solemnly: "To change this situation, we can only use facts to speak and make movies that are both good-looking and artistically valuable, so as to gradually reverse the concept of the film industry." It is for this reason that I asked you to be the director of the art center, and I hope that you will make a good job for the export company and make a number of films that can have an impact on the world. You hurry up and finish the thesis defense, get your graduation certificate, and then go to the art center to officially work and do a good job in your creation. ”

Xu Wangqiu nodded and said, "My thesis has been written, and I will hand it in to the school tomorrow." ”

The next morning, Xu Wangqiu came to Nortel with the thesis defense draft that had already been written. When he walked into the office of the directing department, the other teachers were not there, only Situ Zhaodun was reading the newspaper in the office.

Situ Zhaodun saw Xu Wangqiu come in, and scolded with a smile: "I haven't seen you kid for a long time, why did you suddenly run back to school?"

Xu Wangqiu hurriedly took out the defense draft and the application form, put it in front of Situ Zhaodun, and said respectfully: "Teacher Situ, this is my thesis defense draft and the defense application, please take a look." ”

Szeto knew that the export company wanted Hui Wangqiu to be the director of the art center, responsible for project review and management. However, the film export company is a unit that the state attaches great importance to, and the general manager is personally headed by the vice minister. In a unit like this, I don't know how many people are staring at it, how many second-generation trustees want to go through the back door, if a high school student is allowed to serve as the director of the core department, there will definitely be many people who are not convinced, saying that Wang Lanxi is nepotistic.

It is different if you have a bachelor's degree, and now the state vigorously advocates that leading cadres should be younger, more knowledgeable, and more professional. It is very normal for outstanding college students to work as leading cadres in units after graduation, and Xu Wangqiu has made movies like "Falcon" and "Hoe Rape", no one can find fault.

Situ Zhaodun picked up Xu Wangqiu's application and looked at it, then picked up the defense draft and looked at the title, then looked at the content, and frowned: "You kid is deliberately embarrassing for us, you wrote this thing, our school estimates that no teacher can understand it." ”

Xu Wangqiu smiled: "No, no, I just think this is very important, and it is the trend of the future development of the movie." After the dissertation defense, I will submit the paper to the leader of the export company. In the future, the export company will definitely do it, and I think we at Nortel should also do some research, otherwise it will be difficult for the students trained by Nortel to keep up with the historical trend. ”

Situ Zhaodun knew that Xu Wangqiu had a very in-depth study of foreign films, since he said that this was very important, it should be very important, but he didn't know anything about this, and said with a wry smile: "I don't understand this at all, the instructor wrote my name, I'm really ashamed!"

Xu Wangqiu said with a smile: "You are my homeroom teacher, if you don't write who you write, besides, when you finish reading the article, you have to give me suggestions, this is to guide me!"

After chatting with Situ Zhaodun in the office for a while, Xu Wangqiu walked into the Nortel dormitory building. When he walked to the door of 303, he saw Liu Lin and the others discussing the script around the table.

Liu Lin and the others hope to get the opportunity to shoot feature films through the review of export companies, so that they can stay in Beiping to develop, and have been polishing the script in recent months.

Xu Wangqiu shouted: "Brothers, I, Hu Hansan, are back again!"

When Liu Lin and the others saw Xu Wangqiu, they all put down their work and greeted them with a smile: "Wangqiu, you're back!", "I heard that "Falcon" caused a sensation after its release in Xiangjiang, I don't know if it's true?", "What does Xiangjiang say about "Falcon"?"

Xu Wangqiu knew that Liu Lin and they had contributed a lot to "Falcon" and were very much looking forward to the film's performance overseas, so he briefly told them about the sensational effect caused by the movie after its release in Xiangjiang, as well as the evaluation of "Falcon" by Xiangjiang media.

Liu Lin and the others heard that "Falcon" was sought after by the audience in Xiangjiang, and the media praised it with rave reviews, and they all smiled brightly, which was even happier than getting a university letter. After laughing, they told Xu Wangqiu about Nortel's current situation.

It's already the middle of June, and the summer vacation will be coming soon. Starting from the next semester, Nortel will begin to fully enter the graduation homework stage. The second generation, the children of the family, and some particularly outstanding civilian children will enter the 6-person short film crew to prepare for filming. The rest of the civilian children went to the film studio for internships and worked as scene reporters or assistants on the set.

Liu Lin said indignantly: "The others don't know what to shoot yet, Tian Zhuangzhuang has already pulled a group of people to start filming." Tian Zhuangzhuang told the people in their group that when the short film was finished, they would immediately go to the children's film studio to make a feature film. It's really unfair that ordinary children like us can only go to the set to work as a scene reporter or assistant, and they are making short films and feature films. ”

Xu Wangqiu smiled and comforted: "There is nothing to complain about. Tian Zhuangzhuang does have a level, he was born in a film family, and he worked as a camera assistant in an agricultural film studio before entering Nortel. It is people's ability to win opportunities. Aren't you also trying to get the opportunity to make feature films from export companies? When the time comes, some people will definitely say that you got the opportunity through the back door by relying on your connections!"

At the same time, Situ Zhaodun took Xu Wangqiu's dissertation defense draft and came to the office of Zhang Ke, the head of the department. He put Xu Wangqiu's thesis in front of Zhang Ke and said, "Ke Lao, this is the thesis defense draft and application submitted by Xu Wangqiu. I don't understand this article, how can you deal with it?"

"This stinky boy, when he comes back to school, he doesn't come to see me!" Zhang Ke scolded, he heard that Situ Zhaodun couldn't understand it, and he felt strange in his heart, so he said: "What he wrote, why can't you read it?"

Situ Zhaodun smiled bitterly: "You will understand when you read it." ”

Zhang Ke picked up Xu Wangqiu's paper and looked at it, the title was "On the Application of Computer Technology in Movies, and the Future Development Trend", he was also a little dumbfounded, he didn't know about computer technology, he hadn't even seen it. The calculator knows, but it has nothing to do with the movie. Zhang Ke felt that his head was a little big, Nortel estimated that there was no teacher who understood computer technology, and your teacher didn't understand, so how could he reply, and couldn't help but say: "This stinky boy is deliberately embarrassing us, right?"

Situ Zhaodun smiled when he heard this: "I also said this to Xu Wangqiu, but he said that this is the trend of the future development of films, and the export company will engage in this, and he also suggested that we Nortel engage in research in this area, otherwise it will be difficult for the students trained by Nortel to keep up with the historical trend." Do you think how to deal with it, do you want to call it back and let him rewrite it?"

Zhang Ke immediately said: "Why do we want to fight back, because we don't understand computer technology? We can't be so rigid in our studies, as long as his thesis is logically rigorous from beginning to end, and his arguments are reasonable, other problems are not a problem." It doesn't matter if we don't know how to use computers, we can ask teachers from other schools who understand computers to help us complete the defense!"

Situ Zhaodun said that he typed back Xu Wangqiu's paper, just talking, and said with a smile: "I don't understand much about computer technology in this article, but I agree with his views, and the visual experience of the movie will become more and more important." The export company made several films last year, and these films were actually of good artistic standard, but they simply did not sell overseas. "Falcon" sold well overseas, and it caused a sensation after its release in Hong Kong. "Falcon" is so popular, in addition to the wonderful story and high level of directing, I think the most important thing is that the visual impact is particularly strong. ”

According to the regulations, after receiving the respondent's application, the school will organize the defense team to defend the work. The defense team includes at least three members, and as for who to choose into the defense team, it is decided by Zhang Ke, the head of the director department. After reading Xu Wangqiu's defense application, Zhang Ke flipped through the defense draft again, and said: "You tell Xu Wangqiu that the defense application has been approved, and the defense time is to be determined." ”
