Chapter 63: Consortium XIII
readx;?β Comrade Xiao Shen. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Chen Bo carried the army-green iron-shelled water bottle, poured water, and said: "Regarding the introduction of "Empty Mountain Spiritual Rain", how about today's discussion? Come, drink tea. β
"Thank you, Director Chen." Shen Chong stood up, took the white porcelain teacup full of the atmosphere of the times with both hands, put it on the coffee table in the middle of the sofa, and said: "The film input and output company is not authentic, and everyone has too many differences, I don't think we can talk about it." β
"Oh?" Chen Bo raised his eyebrows, he sat behind his desk, and asked with a smile, "Why is it not authentic."
"They only offered 100,000 yuan, isn't this obviously bullying me?" Shen Chong pretended to complain and said: "The enthusiasm of the mainland people to watch movies is high, and martial arts movies are blank, my "Empty Mountain Spiritual Rain" is fresh and novel, even if it is not as good as the box office of 18 million in "The Guns of the Secret Bureau", there should always be ru00,000, right?" This is a film that Deng Gong watched twice, and only gave 100,000 yuan, and called it Huazi. β
"You, you, what an authentic capitalist." Chen Bo smiled and pointed at him with the hand holding the cigarette case, and said: "The input and output companies have just been established and the funds are limited, so you have to understand them." β
"I understand them, but who understands me." Shen Chong spread his hands and said: "I bought the copyright of this movie, but I spent more than 1 million Hong Kong dollars, and I sold it for 100,000 yuan, so I shouldn't lose my family." β
"What are you talking about, you are a rich man, how can this little money make you bankrupt." Chen Bo laughed, he lit a cigarette, and after a few puffs, he gritted his teeth and said: "Comrade Xiao Shen, I am here to rely on the old and sell the old, and cheekily help Lao Zhang of the input and output company to ask for a favor, you donated millions of dollars of equipment to the Beijing Film Academy and Beijing Film Studio, and you didn't blink your eyes, this time it should be a donation, as a personal favor, and sell it to them for 100,000 yuan, okay?" β
"Director Chen, it's not that I'm rigid, it's not that I don't give you face." Shen Chong sat up straight, and said: "I think it, business belongs to business, donations belong to donations, doing business is not a person's business, everyone must follow the rules, rely on ability, donation is personal will, how to donate, how much to donate, are all personal private affairs, the two cannot be mixed up, otherwise it will be chaotic." Donate to the input and output company, I have no opinion, as long as they offer a reasonable price, I get the money, I can donate it back immediately, all in all, this money must first let me make it reasonable, reasonable and legal, and then I can talk about donations, otherwise who will see me in the future, the business has not been discussed, let donate some first, how can I live? β
After finishing speaking, he paused, and then he continued: "It's like being an official, I don't work hard to be motivated, but I just ran over to you and said: Director Chen, you are in a high position, I am a flat-headed commoner, why don't you donate some power to me, and send a section chief to me to be a director, can this work?" Bad rules, aren't they? β
"At a young age, I know a lot of truths." Chen Bo hid his embarrassment with a loud laugh, and after laughing, he said: "I also know that what you said is right, but the film input and output company really can't come up with the money, they don't have the right to screen, and they have to hand it over to China Film to show after they buy it, and if China Film Company doesn't offer a high price, how can they offer a high price?" Caught in the middle, angry at both ends, the company has been established for two months, and not a single movie has been negotiated, and Lao Zhang's beard is about to turn white. β
"Only crying children have milk." Shen Chong lifted the lid of the white porcelain teacup and said lightly: "What's the use of Bai's own beard?" Manager Zhang should go to the Ministry of Culture every day to cry, crying red eyes, maybe he can ask for a little policy. β
"You narrow-minded ghost, how can the policy cry." Chen Bo shook his head, and he said helplessly: "Then what do you say?" This movie is designated to be introduced from above, and it can't be dragged on forever, which is not good for everyone
"It's very simple, either give me 1 million yuan, or let me get a share of the box office."
"You're so stinky and hard." Chen Bo took a puff of his cigarette, then extinguished the cigarette butt, and said: "I've said it several times, we are still studying the policy of movie box office sharing, the policy is not done well, you just cry and it won't work, besides, do you want to share the achievement?" How to count the box office, what proportion to divide, how to handle the financial accounts, Hong Kong is only one city, 5 million people, how many cities are there in China, and how many populations, have you thought about it? It's a hassle, be patient"
"I don't expect a share of the national box office." Shen Chong blew away the tea leaves, took a sip, and then said: "Otherwise, I don't want 100,000 yuan, you ask Manager Zhang to find China Film Company, cry on the map and come out of the city, whether it is Beijing, Shanghai or Guangzhou, ShenzhenδΈ¨The box office of that city, I will ...... with him No, four or six, I'm four and he's six. β
"Fooling around, you should be a child?"
"Didn't you say above, cross the river by feeling the stones." Shen Chong said with a smile: "The country has specially opened a ShenzhenδΈ¨Special Economic Zone to touch the economic stone, can't the Film Bureau find a city to touch the stone of screening?" β
"I knew you came to me today, not just for your film festival." Chen Bo was silent for a while, and then said: "It's useless for you to bite the box office share, mainland cinemas are very imperfect in terms of infrastructure and management level, most of the movies are screened for free, and there are no conditions for sharing at all, even if you are asked to share, you won't get any money in the end." β
"If you can't get it now, it doesn't mean you won't be able to share it in the future, I'm young and can afford to wait." Shen Chong vigorously advocated: "There are many benefits to box office sharing, which can not only mobilize the production enthusiasm of studios, let them produce better quality films, but also allow them to supervise and urge the exhibition company to improve their management level, so why not kill two birds with one stone." β
"Say it lightly" Chen Bo vetoed and said: "Film workers must have social responsibility, guide the audience's interest in watching movies, and cultivate their healthy and positive aesthetics, rather than blindly catering to the tastes of the masses. β
As soon as the ideology comes out, the family wealth can't stop it......
Shen Chong retreated, he picked up the teacup again, took a sip, and got down to business: "Director Chen, has the Ministry of Culture approved the list I submitted?" β
"Approved." Chen Bo picked up a document with the Ministry of Culture on his desk and said: "We have delegated power, and the film crew members will arrange the going to Hong Kong by the studio, and the Film Bureau will no longer ask about it. β
Shen Chong walked over and took the documents, and after browsing them, he asked, "What's wrong with Mr. Zhao Dan?" β
"He's sick, cancer." Chen Bo said in a low tone: "It's late, but everyone is hiding it, and he himself doesn't know yet." β
Shen Chong was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "Diagnosed?" β
"It's confirmed, the best hospital in Beijing to make the diagnosis." Chen Bo sighed and said: "Two years ago, Beijing Film Studio filmed "The River Flows", and wanted to ask him to play Premier Zhou, after the makeup photo came out, it was exactly the same as the Prime Minister himself, everyone was very satisfied, but later there were some rumors, saying that he was too famous, if he played Premier Zhou, the audience only recognized Zhao Dan, not the Prime Minister, the situation at that time, you know, was very complicated, so the crew replaced him, and Minister Huang Zhen comforted him at that time, saying that he couldn't act this time, and he would play it again next time, but I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, this is not a next time......
"And how is he doing now?"
"It's okay, I can eat and sleep, and I can't tell that I'm a sick person from the outside." Chen Bo said with a lonely expression: "But the doctor said that it was only a few months, so we didn't approve him to go to Hong Kong." β
Shen Chong is gloomy, the sky does not fulfill people's wishes, birth, old age, sickness and death, which cannot be recovered by manpower.
"But speaking of which, your list, those who know that you are going to do a film award, but those who don't know, I think you are going to hold a national film congress in Hong Kong." After all, Chen Bo is a person who has experienced ups and downs, he quickly put aside his emotions and said: "Almost all the well-known domestic film workers, more than 40 people, fortunately, the organizing committee is responsible for accommodation, food and travel expenses, otherwise, even if these people are approved, they may not be able to go, not everyone is as rich as you, in Hong Kong, you need money to eat, drink and Lazar." β
"I'm young, and young people love to show off." Shen Chong took the list and said with a smile: "I can't wait to invite all the filmmakers in the country, but Hong Kong is too small to fit so many people, it's a pity." β
"Then you'll show off a few more times." Chen Bo also smiled and said: "The more this kind of showmanship, the better, filmmakers really need to go out and see more, and learn the film experience and skills of countries around the world in order to create better works."
"Director Chen's opinion." Shen Chong slapped a sycophant and said: "Hong Kong has a special economic status, and I hold the film awards, firstly, to commend the hard work of filmmakers, and secondly, I want to use the name of the film awards to let filmmakers from the mainland and Taiwan communicate with each other. β
"You're right, Hong Kong is very suitable for united front work." Chen Bo took a cigarette, tapped it on the table, and said, "Do it well, we will support it strongly." β
Shen Chong was very speechless about cross-strait relations at this time, and he didn't know what to say, so he had to laugh and joke: "How to support? Give me an official or give me some allowance? β
"You don't have to take an inch." Chen Bo picked up the match and said with a smile: "Official, you probably don't want it either, what about the money, we don't have it, we only have people, you want to give as much as you want, take your list as an example, there are more than 40 people on it, scattered all over the world, do you think it is easy to gather them and send them to Hong Kong?" β
Shen Chong laughed twice, folded the documents, stuffed them into his pocket, and after chatting a few words, he asked, "Director Chen, I heard that "Popular Film" is planning to resume the Hundred Flowers Award?" β
"yes." Chen Bo said: "Even you have a film award in Hong Kong, there can't be nothing in China, the Hundred Flowers Award was held in 19 years under the personal instruction of Premier Zhou to "Popular Film", since "Popular Film" has been republished, the Hundred Flowers Award will naturally be restored, but you don't have to worry, your Academy Award is presented in early April, and the Hundred Flowers Award is ready to be presented in May, and it will not steal your limelight." β
"I'm not worried at all, I'm not boasting." Shen Chong smiled proudly and said, "Even in another thirty years, the Hundred Flowers Award will not want to steal the limelight from my Academy Awards." β
