"Why is this speech record inconsistent?"

"The beginning of the paragraph was added by me from memory, and the back was a record made by the students on the spot, and I haven't had time to sort it out, so it's a little messy." Situ Zhaodun bowed slightly and said, "Dad, what do you think?" ”

"When he gave a speech, he didn't get a script?"

"No, at lunchtime, Dean Lu improvised and asked me to invite him to come on stage to say a few words after the film screening to accept the students' thanks." Situ Zhaodun held the teacup and said with emotion: "I didn't expect him to say so much and say so well after he came to power." ”

"That's a good point." The old man sitting behind the desk was Situ Zhaodun's father, Situ Huimin, vice minister of culture in charge of national film affairs, who rubbed an ordinary diary that recorded the content of the speech, and said: "It's a bit casual, but the main body is clear, the details are appropriate, and every link of the overseas film industry is explained thoroughly. (Note 1)

"yes." Situ Zhaodun nodded in agreement and said: "I am only 2o years old, facing hundreds of audiences, I don't make a draft, I will speak on stage, and I will speak so wonderfully, I am ashamed of myself." ”

"Are the numbers and information in this speech accurate?"

"I asked afterwards, and he said that there were some interesting things in it that adjusted the atmosphere, which were rumors and could not be true, and as for the specific numbers, all of them were grounded." Situ said; He also said that if necessary, he could send the relevant information from Hong Kong.

"If he dares to say that, it should be true." Situ Huimin put the diary on the table and said: "This speech is very valuable for our country's film industry. ”

"Okay."

Situ Huimin pointed to the stack of magazines piled up on the side of the desk and asked, "These magazines, he brought them over?" ”

"Yes. These magazines, which he founded himself, brought with him when he visited our school a few days ago, and plan to donate them to the library. Situ Zhaodun introduced: ""Film Times" is a weekly, it is for the public, there is more information, the "First Film Review" is a monthly magazine, more professional, more in-depth, these two magazines, the content is very rich, for the school students, is a good window to broaden their horizons. ”

Situ Huimin casually pulled out a magazine, looked at the female star on the cover, frowned slightly, and asked, "Are there any prohibited and unhealthy things in the content of these magazines?" ”

"Nope." Situ Zhaodun hurriedly shook his head and said: "Several leaders of the academy have reviewed it, although it mentions a lot of information about Taiwan, but it is all purely about movies, not involving politics, and there are no pornographic exposed content and pictures. ”

"Then put it here for now, I'll have someone review it again tomorrow." Situ Huimin said: "Taiwan is a sensitive topic, be cautious, there is no harm, you have suffered hardships, you should know it." (Note 2)

Situ Zhaodun nodded, silent.

After casually flipping through the magazine for a while, Situ Huimin raised his head again and asked, "Do you have much contact with him?" ”

"On October 2nd, he came to visit our school, and Dean Lu asked me to be a tour guide and accompany him for a day." Situ Zhaodun replied, "Also, today, we had two meals together. ”

"Then what did you talk about together?"

"Talk about everything. This person's interests and hobbies are very extensive, and his knowledge is also very extensive, all over the world, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, it seems that he can say one or two things, and he is not a cardinal, and his thinking is not ordinary people, although sometimes he is a little extreme, but on the whole, he is very identified with the motherland and has a high patriotic enthusiasm. ”

"Did you talk about something specific, like investments and collaborations and things like that?"

"I didn't say anything about investment." Situ Zhaodun recalled for a moment, and then said: "But at lunch today, he mentioned to Dean Lu that he wanted to cooperate with our film academy to make use of the environment of Beijing and Hong Kong to complement each other's advantages and cross-cultivate talents. ”

"What kind of complementary strengths?"

"He is to the effect that Hong Kong has a good business environment, there are many practical opportunities to make films, and our film academy has a high theoretical level and good artistic accomplishment, so we can exchange talents with each other, learn together, and improve together."

"That's a good idea." Situ Huimin picked up the cigarette case on the desk, took out one, and said: "Now that the country is in difficulty, your film academy is not well funded, and students lack the opportunity to exercise, it is a good way to go to Hong Kong to participate in practical work and broaden their horizons." ”

After lighting a cigarette, Situ Huimin pushed the diary and said: "Zhaodun, in the name of sorting out the speech, you can contact him to see what the specific cooperation method is. ”

"Okay." Situ Zhaodun stood up, took the notebook, held it in his hand, and asked, "Dad, is there anything else?" ”

"What is the quality of this movie called "Empty Mountain Spiritual Rain"?"

"Very good, very artistic value." Situ Zhaodun sat down again and said with interest: "The composition of the picture is very charming, and the soundtrack is also traditional musical instruments, full of ancient style, which is completely different from the style of the films produced in our mainland, which is very valuable for teaching." ”

"What about the plot?"

"The plot is relatively simple and orthodox, based on a classical legend, about a poor man who is framed, forced to become a monk, and then sees through the tricks of big landlords and big bureaucrats to protect cultural relics."

Situ Huimin nodded slightly, sighed, and said, "You send the copy to my office tomorrow." ”

"Dad." Situ Zhaodun was taken aback and asked, "The Ministry of Culture wants to confiscate it?" ”

"Where do you want to go?" Situ Huimin extinguished the cigarette butt and said: "Comrade Xiaoping loves to watch movies very much, since the quality is good, then send it to Zhongnanhai and show him." (Note 3)

"That's it." Situ Zhaodun stood up again and said, "Then I'll go and call the school now, and ask the reference room to put away the copy, so that no one can secretly take it out and put it away." ”

"Let's fight right here."

After making the call, Situ Zhaodun saw Situ Huimin holding a cigarette butt, leaning on the back of the chair, and asked, "Dad, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Zhaodun, you were born in Hong Kong, and you spent your childhood there, and you can be regarded as half a Hong Kong person." Situ Huimin said: "Do you want to go back and see it now?" ”

"Dad, what do you mean by that?"

"Sooner or later, Hong Kong will return to China, and we must take precautions and prepare in advance." Situ Huimin didn't answer directly, he took a puff of cigarette and said, "Don't you think this Shen Chong's purpose for coming to Beijing is very strange?" ”

"It's a little weird indeed." Situ Zhaodun picked up the cigarette case, lit a cigarette, and said: "It stands to reason that the preparations for the National Congress are the responsibility of the Ministry of Culture and the Film Bureau. ”

"yes." Situ Huimin said: "We were originally going to let the Hong Kong delegation come directly to the formal meeting, but after reading the draft, Comrade Xiaoping instructed that Hong Kong is still nominally a British-ruled area, and the situation is complicated, and at the National Congress, there are some topics that are difficult to talk about and it is not convenient to discuss, so in the name of the preparatory meeting, we invited the Hong Kong delegation to Beijing in advance. ”

Situ Zhaodun was very surprised when he heard this, he shook his fingers and almost threw away his cigarette butt, "Comrade Xiaoping is going to meet them alone?" ”

"Lenin once said that of all the arts, cinema is the most important thing for us." Situ Huimin was noncommittal, he vigorously extinguished the cigarette butt, and said: "The long-term blockade of imperialist countries has made overseas people, especially overseas Chinese, lack understanding of our national conditions and policies, and there are many misunderstandings, which is not conducive to the implementation of reform and opening up. ”

"So, the country is ready to make a big move in Hong Kong?"

"Large-scale moves are easy to arouse the vigilance of the British, and the central government's intention is to focus on existing resources." Situ Huimin shook her head and said: "The film companies in Hong Kong that accept the guidance of the government have been passively impacted, their strength has been greatly reduced, and now they are difficult to operate, and the practitioners are also old, and the talent gap cannot keep up with the changes of the times, so the central government plans to integrate them, and then transfer some talents from the mainland to create a strong and appealing publicity platform. ”

"I still like what I do now." Situ Zhaodun smoked silently, thought for a while, and said: "And I study documentaries, and going to Hong Kong may not have any effect." (Note 4)

"In this matter, you should consider for yourself, the mainland has the advantages of the mainland, and Hong Kong has the advantages of Hong Kong." Situ Huimin said: "But I suggest that you talk more to this Shen Chong and listen to his opinion." ”

"Him?"

"Hmm." Situ Huimin put "Film Times" back, took out another copy of "The First Film Review", and after spreading it out, he said: "Don't underestimate him, although this person is young, his knowledge is not simple, this time the Hong Kong delegation, the rest of them are old faces, only him, Comrade Xiaoping personally named him." ”

Situ Zhaodun was even more surprised, "How could Comrade Xiaoping know about him?" ”

"I don't know the specifics." Situ Huimin said: "However, according to public information, Shen Chong's parents are Hong Kong progressives, he started from scratch, from the beginning of this year to the present, in most of the year, he has earned tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars, and the film company he founded has produced two films this year, both breaking the historical record of the Hong Kong film box office, Hong Kong is a commercial society, and his business ability is very useful for the publicity platform." ”
