Chapter 343: There is a tiger in the heart, sniffing the rose

It's been less than two weeks since the news of Shen Zhenghui's wake was released, but China's leaders have already arranged to meet him, and what an efficient decision. But even so, Shen Zhenghui will not be arrogant about his status. The nickname of this dynasty is called Hou Qing, and sometimes you have to admit that the nickname makes sense. Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty bluntly said that he regarded some scholars as advocates of excellence, so this sound too harsh for intellectuals.

This dynasty is based on workers and peasants, and bureaucrats are in power, but thousands of years of customs have made intellectuals always dream of emperors, but this dynasty is like its own nickname, and it is also an advocate of excellence for many intellectuals, but it is okay on the surface, unlike Qianlong, a "brain pumping dragon", who told the truth all the time in anger, and wanted not to be juxtaposed with advocating excellence, unless you really have morality, or really have essence, doesn't Qianlong also have a Liu Tongxun under his hands?

Shen Zhenghui knows very well what kind of people are in the Chinese film industry, and even who are in the world film industry, he knows very well, in this industry, not to mention the high moral requirements, you only need to do your job seriously, it is enough, as for what national teacher, emperor and the like, it is also a job, without that strength and acting skills, don't expect yourself to be able to sit in that hot ass position.

But I don't know how many people are eager to sit in this seemingly glamorous position one day, and the 10∈ people who have really sat in this position know how much pressure there is to be in this position.

Of course, Shen Zhenghui would not have thought that he would be promoted to this position at the beginning. He has a very positive mentality, knowing that he has connections with Japan, and the upper-level leaders must be deaf and clear about what is going on with his daughter, so he has no expectations at all for directly joining the political career. However, it has to be said. The world is very wonderful, well, sometimes you can't say that, because reality is sometimes more wonderful than fiction.

Of course, the leaders will not meet Shen Zhenghui at the beginning, first of all, the officials in charge of specific affairs will talk to Shen Zhenghui and set the tone for Shen Zhenghui to meet with the leaders. Set the content, and it is enough for the leader to come out and ask for warmth, because all the people below have negotiated the matter. What surprised Shen Zhenghui was that there were three officials at the deputy ministerial level and above who talked to him, and there were several officials at the department and bureau level who were listening, and from time to time they made supplementary explanations to the leader's speech, which made Shen Zhenghui feel very amazing. At present, cadres at the deputy ministry level discuss problems with themselves, talk for several hours, and work tirelessly, and the difference in experience is simply intriguing.

But soon Shen Zhenghui had no time to sigh, the officials who came to see him included several departments such as propaganda, diplomacy, and united front, and the scope of the content and topics involved made Shen Zhenghui have to admire the leaders in the system for being smart. For example, the leader of the propaganda department talked to Shen Zhenghui about a series of key propaganda directions related to the future, and consulted Shen Zhenghui. Ask him if he is interested in any project - such as a documentary on the national re-event or a national image film. ATV is now at least nominally still in the hands of Shen Zhenghui, the talents that have been excavated in the mainland over the years, ATV has gradually been regarded as a Wumao TV station, and when the propaganda department sets the tone, it unceremoniously uses ATV as its own TV station, but on the surface, it still has to give you electric autonomy, for this. Shen Zhenghui was very annoyed, in fact, there were many things in it that they had already talked to Director Wang Yu, but when they came here, they talked to Shen Zhenghui again, Shen Zhenghui naturally nodded in agreement, and he wanted to shoot a few words of sycophants that left no trace. A little tired.

At this time, a deputy minister interjected, "Xiao Shen, aren't you also very relevant in the Japanese media?" Are you looking to write some programs co-produced by Japanese media? ”

Shen Zhenghui was stunned for a moment, ATV has a lot of cooperation with Japan, especially in variety shows. Miyuki Nakajima has been a mentor in The Voice of Asia for two seasons, and has made the show The Voice of Asia very high, and with the great cooperation of Queens, this show is also very popular in Japan. However, the vice minister's joint production of some programs is definitely not an entertainment program, his subtext is obviously to let the Japanese media take the initiative to say good things about China, some things are still not very convenient for the country to do, although CCTV is a big pants, but sometimes there are some can't wipe the face, so Shen Zhenghui played a role.

"Your mention is very good, in fact, NHK has long wanted to make a series of documentaries in China, and they have done a lot, but to make documentaries in the mainland, they still need official cooperation."

"You ATV cooperated in shooting, of course we will make it convenient for you." The deputy minister said without hesitation.

Shen Zhenghui wanted to roll his eyes in his heart, if the film made by the Japanese in the end was not right, then the black pot would naturally be ATV - no, it should be said that Shen Zhenghui was back. However, it is not suitable to talk about this at this time, so Shen Zhenghui nodded, "Okay, I'll let them make a plan and report it to ......."

"Find Xiao Liu directly," the deputy minister pointed to a deputy director and said, "If there is such a thing in the future, you can all contact Xiao Liu directly, and he will coordinate it for you." ”

This middle-aged man, who is called Xiao Liu, who is actually more than ten years older than Shen Zhenghui and maybe more than a decade, showed a shy smile at Shen Zhenghui, he stood up, bypassed the table, and handed his business card to Shen Zhenghui, "Director Shen, just contact me directly when the time comes." ”

Shen Zhenghui had no choice but to nod modestly.

This seems to be just the beginning, along the topic of Japan, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the International Liaison Department of the CPC Central Committee began their own topics, talking about nothing more than asking Shen Zhenghui to play a role in strengthening Sino-Japanese friendship, and the more Shen Zhenghui listened, the more he wanted to smile bitterly, which was almost a blatant attempt to let Shen Zhenghui do the work of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the International Liaison Department of the CPC Central Committee.

Along with the rise of China's national strength, a kind of "new thinking in diplomacy" has emerged in China, that is, the idea of winning over the younger brother of the United States in Asia, and in terms of specific operation, it is necessary to borrow Shen Zhenghui, a guy who is deeply rooted in the younger brother country of the United States. TG has always liked to deal with big foreign capitalists, and now they can talk about more common topics. Then, let's talk about inviting Mitsumi Fukuda to visit China as a Japanese private entrepreneur.

This matter is not difficult to operate at all, and Mitsumi Fukuda will not resist, because she has great interests in China. Naturally, the diplomatic department and the Central Liaison hope that this event will be huge, so that the Celestial Empire will have face on its face. Shen Zhenghui didn't agree directly for Fukuda Mitsumi, because he knew that Fukuda Mitsumi would definitely ask for a sky-high price, which made him feel sad that maybe Fukuda Mitsumi's sky-high asking price might really be able to be achieved, although these leaders had enough city government in front of Shen Zhenghui, but Shen Zhenghui still read from their subtle tone and expression their desire for this kind of face (politics) (performance).

Talking to people in the officialdom is tiring, and it is not as good as talking about the terms of cooperation with the American capitalists, and when Shen Zhenghui racked his brains to understand the meaning of every word they said, the propaganda department came out of the sky with a sword. "This, this year is the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and China Film is preparing for a Chinese New Year movie called "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic of China", and the director has not yet been decided, Director Shen can consider it!"

Looking at the other party's "I mean well" expression, Shen Zhenghui wanted to cry without tears in his heart, this is obviously a film by China Film to increase his reputation, and Chairman Han is the leader of the industry. Use this film to curry favor with superior leaders and promote their achievements. At the same time, trying to create a domestic blockbuster model, he was sent such a hot pot by the bureaucracy, Shen Zhenghui felt a little crying and laughing.

"Well, when I was making a movie, I had a unique idea that might not fit the atmosphere of this kind of film. So, forget it. Shen Zhenghui said cautiously, "And I heard that there are very, very many stars who want to play in this movie, and I am not too familiar with the Chinese film industry, so I coordinate it." It can be a little difficult. ”

The official who recommended Shen Zhenghui had a stiff smile on his face, he didn't know how to scold Shen Zhenghui in his heart, this kind of movie recommends you to be a director, it's just a name, do you really want to direct something?

However, since the topic has come to the movie, it is natural that there will be a roundabout, the amazing box office of the first week of "Magic Apprentice 6 Final Battle" has come out, and the officials actually talked about the box office of "Magic Apprentice 6" in order to show that they can keep up with the times and closely follow the pace of the times. The box office of this film in the United States reached 110 million US dollars in the first week, and the global synchronization reached 190 million US dollars in the first week of the box office outside the United States.

When these officials talked about the box office, they naturally couldn't help but marvel and congratulate Shen Zhenghui, his pride as a Chinese, and he was about to rank in the top three positions in the cumulative box office list of world directors, which is simply an honor to be proud of for Chinese. However, an official in charge of the ideological department still lamented with some regret, "It's a pity that the theme of this movie is Westernized, and if the theme is Chinese, it would be even better." ”

This sentence cannot be said wrong in terms of his own work, but in Shen Zhenghui's sound, it is still a little harsh, after all, the author of the original "Magic Apprentice" is Chinese, and showing our understanding of their culture to the Western world is also a subtle propaganda, pure oriental theme, maybe Zhou Xingxing's "Kung Fu" is the best achievement. And Zhou Xingxing himself, after "Yangtze River No. 7", fell into a long dormant period, I don't know what the next work will be, in Shen Zhenghui's own imagination, he probably will not be willing to be satisfied with the unrealistic success of "Kung Fu", so he is satisfied, maybe he is planning the next big production.

"I can't say the same, if it weren't for this theme, Western audiences wouldn't like it so much, and the box office wouldn't be so high." Another leader probably felt the embarrassment of this sentence, so he jumped out and smiled and played the round, "What are Director Shen's plans for a new film next?" You're going to shoot fast, and we're all looking forward to it. I heard that there is a prequel to "Magic Apprentice", is Director Shen ready to start filming? ”

"Uh," Shen Zhenghui smiled, "This kind of blockbuster is too tiring to shoot, I want to shoot something lighthearted and change the taste." ”

"Oh, really?" The other party looked a little regretful, and he asked again, "Are you going to shoot domestic themes?" ”

"Not necessarily," Shen Zhenghui touched his head, "After I woke up, I accumulated a lot of novel ideas in my mind, and I had a strong urge to make something very exciting, so I may still choose the Japanese theme." ”

Stimulation, Japan? Could it be that you want to make some ** films? The people present were also a little speechless.

"Ah, speaking of which," a leader mentioned quietly, "Recently, there have been some very peculiar films circulating on the Internet, has Director Shen heard of it?" ”

"What do you mean exactly?" Shen Zhenghui pretended to be serious and asked, "After I woke up, I reworked a lot of movies that have been released in the past year or so, I don't know which ones you are referring to?" ”

"It happens to be a film of our revolutionary period, and the expression is very exaggerated," the leader said, "and there is also a film called "The Legend of the Demon of Maoshan", which is an anti-American film, with the critical perspective of Chinese and Chinese as the protagonist. ”

"Oh, this ...... This...... I've seen both of them," Shen Zhenghui said with an excited expression, "Both types of films are very thoughtful, interesting, and expressive." "Although the graphics look old, they have another impetus for the rendering of the story and the theme, which is amazing." ”

"Oh?" Seeing Shen Zhenghui's excitement, the other party was a little surprised, "Mainly," he lowered his voice, "This is inside information, please don't leak it out." ”

Nima, people all over the world know whether it's good or not.

"According to our investigation, we have not found any traces of these two sets of films filmed in reality, which means that the actors, directors, and crew cannot be found. These two sets of films seem to have appeared out of thin air. The other party stared at Shen Zhenghui with blazing eyes, "Mr. Shen, you are a professional, do you think it is possible to rely entirely on computers to produce such a film without real shooting?" ”

"Of course it is." Shen Zhenghui said conclusively. (To be continued......)
