Li Xiaole found a strange phenomenon, when he and Jiang Wen were standing at the door chatting, those production directors who came from various studios, regardless of men, women and children, did not enter the office building, but gathered at the door, chatting and greeting, as if they were waiting for someone.

"Who are they waiting for? Equivalent to haode? Ning Hao's eyes were rolling, and he could see that there was a doorway.

"No, they're waiting for their 'daddy'." Jiang Wen pursed his mouth with a calm face, and his eyes showed a faint look of disdain.

At this time, I heard a shout: "Mr. Yan is here." A group of production directors who were chatting stopped, and Li Xiaole followed their gaze and vaguely saw several people in Mao suits walking over on the road on the left side of the building.

Although the weather was a little gloomy, the sun was shining brightly behind the clouds. The pedestrian on the opposite side can gradually see clearly, those people wearing Mao suits did not wear any number plates to identify themselves, which means that in Beijing Film Studio and even the entire China Film Group, everyone knows them from top to bottom.

"Mr. Yan is here~" "Mr. Yan is good~" A large group of people surrounded and greeted each other, and the slightly fat, kind-eyed old man inside hurriedly bowed to everyone and said tremblingly: "It doesn't have to be like this, everyone doesn't have to be like this~~ Let's go, let's go together." ”

"Mr. Yan, you are sixty-six this year, right~? My body is still so strong, so I'm relieved. One of them smiled and patted his ass.

"Xiao Zhao, do you think I'm old?" Mr. Yan smiled and waved his hand: "No, I'm old~ When the group is settled down this year, I will retire and stop worrying about it." ”

"What are you talking about~" Daxiao, the production director in his fifties with gray hair and extremely heavy bags under his eyes, said: "With your old body, it is more than enough to helm the group for another twenty years." ”

"If we have been working for another 20 years, some people will hate us to death." The person who said this was Yan Fusheng, who was holding Yan Jie's left arm, strong and gloomy.

"No, it won't." The "Xiao Zhao", who was in his fifties, looked at everyone with a smile, and while everyone was laughing, they found that Han Sanpin and several people came from the other side from a distance, and they immediately lowered their heads and stopped talking.

Li Xiaole has been watching from the side for a long time, and he has already understood which Mr. Yan is Yan Jie, the vice chairman of China Film Group, and the deputy director of the former Beijing Film Studio, and Yan Fusheng next to him is his only son, these two people are the most heavyweight people in China Film under Xie Yang.

Yan Jie saw Han Sanpin coming from afar, so he waved his hand and asked everyone to follow him, and went up the stairs first, and for a while all the production directors stopped talking and quietly followed behind Yan Jie's group. I saw that the name plate at the top of the middle of the conference hall was not printed with "conference room", but with a few vigorous and round regular characters of "strengthening the construction of spiritual civilization". The lower left side of the plaque is also engraved with three small characters of "Deng Xiaoping".

Several employees in the conference hall took their coats and handed tea to Yan Jie and his party, and their movements were not only fast, but also very light and sensitive, as if they were afraid of making a sound.

"Let's go, let's go in too." Han Sanpin walked over, said hello to Li Xiaole and Jiang Wen with a smile, and followed in, and the middle-aged man with a solemn expression next to him was Han Xiaoli, the director of the office, that is, the "little Han president" that people said.

The group also entered the conference hall and sat down at the table opposite Yan Jie, and Li Xiaole found that it was not Han Sanpin who presided over the meeting, but Yan Jie.

People on both sides just nodded their heads to say hello, and saw Yan Jie trembling and taking out his worn-out mobile phone, dialing a phone call, and softly saying something inside, and then connecting the mobile phone to the speaker outside, and heard two thick coughing sounds coming from inside, and everyone's eyes looked at the speaker, looking nervous.

Yan Jie was also relieved when he heard the voice, and immediately made a gesture that everyone was quiet and said, "It's time to have a meeting." ”

The nervous employees next to them hurriedly put the preparation documents on the table in front of the production directors.

Yan Jie coughed dryly, lowered his old eyes and said: "It's still the old rule, each studio will report its own projects, which should be approved and which should not be approved, there will be a decision at today's meeting, there is a saying, which big projects are there this quarter, everyone has to discuss them together." ”

"According to Xie Lao's wise tie, the most difficult days of the first two years have finally passed." Yan Jie not only began to set the tone of the meeting without slowness:

"This year, the group has approved a special fund of 3400, which is more than the sum of them in Shanghai Film and West Film, and the quality of the films filmed by our China Film has also been improved, and Director Qi's film has also been nominated for the Golden Rooster Award.

Knowing that Yan Jie is talking about filming circus, whether he approves it or not, everyone still has to look solemn, the real situation of China Film is that it produces more than 10 "profitable" films every year, but the investment load rate is as high as 76%, and the proportion of losses of all subordinate units is also 71%, and in the past two years alone, the total loss of the group has reached 45 million yuan.

Simply put, the more you invest, the more you indebt.

However, China Film Group has a film bureau and a State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, they are only subordinate institutions, and they have the funds allocated by the above two major institutions, which is the reason why they can survive.

"Well, everyone has worked hard during this time, and the group is also embarrassed by the restructuring, what projects can you mention now, and there is a budget of 20 million, I hope you will cherish it." Yan Jie looked at the white-headed old production director of the group of "Xiao Zhao": "You talk about it, and then let Xie Lao listen to it, see if it's okay." ”

"This is my discussion of the haode project, and I think these projects can be invested." Without waiting for others to speak, Yan Fusheng handed over a document and said loudly:

"There are Director Liu's "Old Well" with a rural theme, "Steel Mill" with the theme of Ning Dao's workers, and two main theme movies "The Beginning of the Founding of the People's Republic of China" and "Yunhe Valley", which are directed by Chen and Director Ma, respectively, and we have discussed them with Director Han, and the total is a project of 18 million."

As soon as Yan Fusheng said this, the faces of several people behind Han Sanpin, including Jiang Wen, changed, and they only left a mere 2 million for their second studio......

"Is that so? Three products? Yan Jie looked at Han Sanpin with kind eyes.

"Mr. Yan, that's the case, but I think this matter can be discussed a little more, I think some of these 4 movies can be made, and some should not be made." Han Sanpin smiled gently.

"What?" Yan Fusheng immediately bounced up from the table, glared at him with round eyes and said with a sinister face: "When I talked to you, didn't you object, Director Han?" ”

"Sit down!" Yan Jie's eyes, which had been squinting, suddenly opened, shining like a beast: "Director Yan, you have to let others speak." ”

Yan Fusheng was stunned for a moment, and immediately gritted his teeth and lowered his head.

"That's the case, Director Yan, you misunderstood what I meant, I didn't object at the beginning because I didn't know the specific situation." Han Sanpin explained with a gentle smile:

""Old Well", "At the Beginning of the Founding of the People's Republic of China" can invest 2 million and 4 million, and "Steel Mill" and "Yunhe Valley" have applied for 6 million investment, I think it's a little too much."

"What do you know about our first production project, your second production studio!?" Hearing this, Yan Fusheng couldn't help but widen his eyes and said.

"What are you talking about, Director Yan!?" Han Xiaoli, who had not spoken out all the time, snorted coldly: "The second production is the second production of the group, not the second production of 'our', the first production is also the factory of the group, not 'your factory', if you have the final say on everything, what meeting will we have today?" ”

Except for Li Xiaole, the eyes of everyone present became more and more nervous, and even Jiang Wen, who had always been out of the way, looked a little hesitant, looked at Yan Fusheng, and then looked at Han Xiaoli.

Where did Yan Fusheng think that there would be such a situation today, Han Sanpin, who had always been obedient to their father and son, would suddenly become angry, and at first he was also stunned by Han Xiaoli's words, but he quickly reacted and said even more angrily:

"You are the general manager of China Film, and the director of the China Film Office, is there anything wrong with your 'second producer'? Of course, the first studio is not my Yan Fusheng's private property, but the project is presided over by me, you don't want to do it or you can't do it, but you don't want to approve the project to blackmail the group, delaying the development of the organization, you know what the consequences are! ”

"Big deal, just don't do it!" Han Xiaoli was also a violent temper, and he didn't give in: "A few days ago, looking at the project you submitted, Mr. Han and I had this idea, we can't afford the burden of the group, Director Yan, who you think is suitable, just do it!" ”

"You!" Yan Fusheng was enraged by his words, and he raised his hand and wanted to slap the table.

"Yan Jie." Before he could have a seizure, Yan Jie said loudly: "This is a group meeting. He turned his head to look at Han Xiaoli, and said kindly: "Director Han, just say anything and let's discuss it." ”

"Okay~ Then I'll talk about it, your first producer, made a total of three films in the first three quarters, a historical theme, a revolutionary theme, and an urban theme, at the beginning, they all said that it was a small investment of 2 million, and half of it could be filmed but said that the investment was not enough, and I also approved the money with Mr. Han, and the three films added up to 12 million, but what about your box office? The box office zuihou is only 500,000? Now you still need an investment of 18 million, how do you let us approve it? ”

"Were you two Han presidents present at the last meeting?" Yan Fusheng was a little angry and said: "You also approved it, the box office of the movie is not good, is it our responsibility?" The box office of Chinese movies has been sluggish for ten years, do you want to blame me for Yan Fusheng's head? Don't you Weishenme talk about your first producer, how much money did you give Jiang Wen for a 'gun'? You Han Sanpin also wanted to be famous and acted, but you found a good control newcomer director Lu Chuan, an investment of 6 million, is it still such a big investment for such a small movie? Where did the extra money go, Lu Chuan was squeezed out by you after filming this film, you know what happened in your hearts! ”

"We have a box office of 7 million, more than you have in several years, where is the money spent, won't you check it yourself?" Han Xiaoli snorted coldly.

Jiang Wen watched the two groups of people go toe-to-toe, but he smiled dumbly, patted Li Xiaole's shoulder lightly and asked in a whisper, "Director Xiao Li, do you think these people are interesting." ”

"I think it's kind of funny." Li Xiaole smiled slightly and said with a smile, in his previous life, he just couldn't afford to play with these grandsons, so he never got out of it, but now how does he feel like wanting to go up and play, if one day, he sits in Yan Jie's position and takes the helm of mainland movies, what will it be like?
