After Yuan Tianfan left, Shen Chong looked at the time, only to find that unconsciously, this meeting had been held for nearly two hours, he held his forehead and asked, "What will be the content of the next one?" ”

"It's a matter of the Hong Kong Film Culture Centre. Gu Liwei rolled up the map of Hong Kong on the conference table and said, "The scheduled meeting time is half past three, Chairman Shu Qi should wait in the lounge, and I will bring him over."www.biquge.info ”

"No, I'll go myself." Shen Chong stood up and said: "Shu Qi is my old friend, he brought me into the film industry back then, and he will talk in my office for a while. ”

The past year or so has definitely not been easy for Shu Qi.

He is the first well-known Hong Kong filmmaker Shen Chong to know, and it is also a bridge for Shen Chong to get acquainted with Hong Kong filmmakers, the two had a very happy conversation and a great friendship, but after Shen Chong acquired "Film Fortnightly", he resigned from the position of editor-in-chief and went to Golden Harvest to be a full-time screenwriter to help Yan Hao shoot "Night Train......

After the half-dead "Film Fortnightly" was revised to "Film Times", it immediately soared, sales climbed steadily, and it was extremely prosperous, opening branches in Taiwan and the mainland, selling nearly 500,000 copies, becoming a veritable authoritative film publication in Hong Kong.

Especially what embarrassed him was the situation of his friend Chen Baisheng, Chen Baisheng was only an editor-in-chief of "Film Fortnightly", but now he is the dual chairman of the Organizing Committee of the Academy Awards and the Organizing Committee of the Hong Kong International Film Festival.

And Shu Qi in the past year, in addition to writing the script of "Night Train", there is no achievement, "Night Train" was released in January this year, even if Yan Hao was used, played the signboard of "Shen Caishen's hand-picked cutting-edge director's works", the box office only received more than 3 million, this result, in 1979 was not bad, but the 19ru film market was very hot, as of May, there were more than ten movies with a box office of more than 5 million, and more than 3 million was not outstanding.

The debut novel failed to become an instant hit, so he had to nest in Golden Harvest, get a meager salary, and live a boring life

People are more angry than people, Shu Qi's original choice naturally attracted a lot of cynicism, some said that his eyes were above the top, some said that he didn't know how to lift, and the rumors made him more and more silent, and he didn't even write a good film review, and even had the intention of giving up movies and immigrating overseas.

Shu Qi is quite accomplished in film theory research and teaching organization, is a rare talent, Shen Chong naturally can't let him go away to a foreign country, after hearing the news, he immediately personally invited him to come out of the mountain again and serve as the chairman of the Hong Kong Film Culture Center, and after several entanglements, he should also be relegated to this position.

"UU sit." Shen Chong led Shu Qi into his office and asked, "What are you drinking?" Black tea or coffee? ”

"No, I drank it in the break room just now." After Shu Qi sat down, she adjusted her sitting posture and said, "Mr. Shen, let me first introduce the operation of the Film Culture Center in the past two months." ”

Shen Chong saw him like this, and he couldn't say anything, so he said with a smile: "Okay, you tell me first, although the Film Culture Center is downstairs and I pass by every day when I go to work, I really haven't been there a few times." ”

"I won't talk about the hardware, you personally arranged the procurement, Mr. Shen, and I will talk about the teachers and students." Shu Qi spread out the folder and said: "The Film Culture Center now has 9 full-time tutors, of which 3 are responsible for acting, one is responsible for directing and screenwriting, one teaches photography and editing, and one teaches world film history......

“… As for the students, in addition to TVH and Lei's TV artists, we also used a lottery to select some people from the readership of "Film Times" and "First Film Review" to take classes and collect feedback in preparation for the official start of classes in the second half of the year. ”

“…… There is no professional and systematic film textbook in Hong Kong, so I plan to ask someone to translate some overseas classic textbooks, and at the same time, I am also planning to organize some Hong Kong filmmakers to compile a textbook that is in line with the reality of Hong Kong films......"

“…… Regarding the number of students enrolled in the second half of the year, we have initially set it at 30, plus the l0 sent from the mainland, a total of 40 students, this number, can not only make full use of the existing hardware facilities, but also retain a certain degree of flexibility, we are the first time to engage in systematic teaching, the number of people is a little smaller, teachers and students can fully interact with each other, accumulate experience. ”

Shu Qi obviously held her breath, did things extremely carefully, took all aspects into account, and talked for half an hour after an introduction.

"Very good, very well prepared." Shen Chong praised it, then took the document, browsed it according to the entry, and said: "Regarding the teaching of experimental films, you can do a little more, after all, movies are to be filmed by hand, and it is unreliable to talk about it, and when the school starts in the second half of the year, Jiayi TV's movie channel has already been broadcast, and you can take excellent experimental movies to broadcast." ”

"Also, the students in the second half of the year, don't limit their age and occupation, anyone can sign up, even if they are old actors who are already working in the film industry." Shen Chong took a pen and scratched off the registration restrictions, and said: "Anyway, it's experimental teaching, the richer the types of students, the better, even if they are seventy or eighty, as long as they can still walk and are interested in movies, they can consider it." ”

Shu Qi nodded silently.

"UU" Shen Chong handed the document back to him and said: "Although the name of the Film Culture Center is nondescript, it is of great significance, I plan to upgrade it to a formal film school when the time is ripe, and then build it into a world-class film mecca of the USC Film School, you will be the first dean of this academy, and the task is not light." ”

After finishing speaking, Shen Chong smiled self-deprecatingly and said: "Recently, I have often dealt with mainland bureaucrats, and unconsciously, the tone and content of my speech are exactly the same as them. ”

Shu Qi also smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Shen, I won't let you down." ”

"You don't have pressure, ten years of trees and a hundred years of people, so don't worry, don't care about the gains and losses of one year or two, look at the long run, all my investments, can expect benefits, only you, now I can't see anything." Shen Chong let out a long breath and said: "Within ten years, the film center can produce a big star or a good director, even if it is successful, as for what will happen in ten years, no one knows now." ”
