471 [Go North Again]
After three months, Kang Jianfei came to the capital again.
When Kang Jianfei took the car arranged by the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office to the hotel, he could find obvious changes along the way. The last time I came was in the summer, and the pedestrians on the street wore mainly vests, shirts, and sea soul shirts, while on formal occasions they wore tunics.
Now, just over three months later, many people on the streets of Beijing have already put on suits, and some of them have even tied ties.
Even among the reception officials of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office, there are also two who wear suits, and the mainland officials have at least opened up a lot in their dress.
The direct cause of these changes is the further deepening of the reform and opening up policy. This year, Chinese mainland companies have sprung up like mushrooms, Vanke, Lenovo, Haier...... One by one, they are now unknown, but many years later they will be born with great resounding names.
In the past few years, reform and opening up in the private sector has been more reflected in the self-employed, but this year, there is a commercial tide that instantly baptizes China's shelf.
"The development of the motherland is really changing with each passing day." Kang Jianfei couldn't help but sigh that since he was already determined to be a red capitalist, the name of the mainland in his mouth naturally became the motherland.
The person in charge of leading the team to pick up the plane was still the section chief Zheng last time, and the Zhongshan suit on his body had turned into a suit, and said proudly: "We Chinese are not stupider than foreigners, as long as we can work together to carry out reforms, we will definitely be able to achieve achievements that will attract the attention of the world." Of course, the development of the motherland is also inseparable from the support of overseas travelers like Mr. Kang. ”
Kang Jianfei said righteously: "It is the duty of every Chinese to contribute to the development of the motherland. ”
If Kang Jianfei becomes a patriotic red capitalist, it will be a great political achievement for Hong Kong's Xu Jiasheng and the section chief Zheng in front of him, after all, Kang Jianfei has a TV station and a large film company in his hands, which can be used as a rare mouthpiece of the Celestial Empire in Hong Kong.
Section Chief Zheng made a grateful expression and said, "It's rare that Mr. Kang has this heart. On behalf of all my colleagues in the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office, I would like to thank you patriotic travellers for your help to the motherland. ”
The two chatted politely again, and the car suddenly passed in front of a movie theater, and a large poster more than three meters high on the outer wall of the theater came into view. The main part of the poster actually prints a blonde beauty in a bikini, biting her lower lip and smiling at passers-by very seductively.
"This ...... Is the government allowed to show films of this scale? Kang Jianfei pointed to the poster in surprise, unable to imagine that in Beijing in 1984, there was such a "erotic/erotic" poster in public.
Section Chief Zheng said with a smile: "Mr. Kang, don't think that our mainland is very feudal and conservative, we are not only economically reforming and opening up, but also ideologically in line with advanced countries. ”
In fact, Section Chief Zheng said that there were many elements of boasting. If the bikini poster in front of me had been posted during the crackdown last year, at least a large number of people would have been arrested for hooliganism. Even now, many citizens recognize that it is against morals and customs, and continue to write letters and complain to the relevant departments. And also asked the newspaper to disclose the condemnation.
Due to the bad impact on society - many people are disgusted, this bikini poster is expected to be torn down soon.
Section Chief Zheng introduced a lot of development and changes of the motherland to Kang Jianfei along the way. The group did not go to the hotel first. Instead, go straight to the Film Bureau.
In the 80s, the Film Bureau was not under the control of radio and television, but under an agency under the Ministry of Culture.
This time, all of Kang Jianfei's companies were banned by the Taiwan authorities and decided to completely turn to the Celestial Empire, which has attracted the attention of the central leadership. Therefore, among the people who greeted the film bureau at the door this time, not only the director of the film bureau, but also a deputy minister from the Ministry of Culture.
"Welcome Hong Kong compatriots to our Film Bureau for inspection and cooperation!" Vice Minister Wang cordially held Kang Jianfei's hand and said. And the director of the film bureau could only honestly stand behind and laugh.
After Vice Minister Wang and Kang Jianfei had a mess and two or three party-run media took pictures, Director Chen of the Film Bureau shook hands with Kang Jianfei without humility or arrogance to welcome him.
With Kang Jianfei, there was also a small truck. It contained copies of 15 DreamWorks films, which were being carefully moved into the film bureau by workers at this time, waiting for the bureau to review it for some time to come.
Before Kang Jianfei set off, he thought it would be good if two or three of the 15 movies could pass the review, but since he saw the bikini poster on the road, he now feels that seven or eight of them can be qualified.
Today, Kang Jianfei came to the Film Bureau just to go through the motions, and by the way, he visited around, mainly to send the film to be reviewed.
After a round of the movie bureau, Kang Jianfei returned to the hotel with his team, including assistants, bodyguards and staff, and there were more than a dozen people behind him, more than a big boss than before.
The last time I came to the capital was an exchange visit, Kang Jianfei could naturally come alone, but this time it was to talk about business, according to the urine nature of Chinese people who like big scenes, it seems that people will be looked down upon if there are fewer people.
In fact, Kang Jianfei still wants to get two foreign devils as followers, this trick is very effective for Chinese people, 30 years later, there are still countless foreign devils who make a living from this, and the actors of Jin Kela's advertising are all international friends.
Go back to the hotel for a night of rest and don't mention it, anyway, at this time it is not popular in China to invite guests to do great health care, so you can only watch TV and flip through books in the hotel.
The next morning's itinerary was to go to the Film Bureau to participate in a "Chinese Film Workers Exchange Conference", which roughly means that Hong Kong and mainland film counterparts sit together and chat, discuss and learn from each other's strengths, and promote the future development of Chinese films.
The exchange meeting was held in a conference room of the Film Bureau, and after Kang Jianfei arrived, he only found two acquaintances, namely Chen Kaige and Liu Xiaoqing. The former's "Yellow Earth", which won the Silver Leopard Award at the Locarno International Film Festival three months ago, is a brilliant star director in the mainland and the face of a mainland film director.
Except for the two of them, most of the other participants were officials of the Film Bureau, directors of Beijing Film Studio, and professors of Beijing Opera and Beijing Film, and Kang Jianfei didn't know him at all.
Deputy Director Zhao of the Film Bureau accompanied Kang Jianfei to the conference room and solemnly introduced a man who looked round and tweeted: "Mr. Kang, this is Wang Yangwang, the director of Beijing Film Studio." ”
Why do you say that this director Wang is round and chirping? Because his head is round, his mouth is round, his nose is round, his belly is round, his glasses and his pipe are round.
Kang Jianfei only glanced at it, and remembered the appearance of this "round factory director".
"Hello Director Wang, I have admired my name for a long time!" Kang Jianfei politely shook hands with the other party.
Wang Yang smiled: "I have also admired Mr. Kang's name for a long time!" ”
Although Kang Jianfei was an extra in Beiying for a few years before the crossing, he didn't know much about Wang Yang. If it is said that in the mainland film industry 30 years later, Han Sanye is a well-deserved boss, then Wang Yang's role at this time is similar.
This gentleman has been the director of Beijing Film Studio for a total of 36 years, and Beijing Film Studio has grown from scratch in his hands, and now has the most neat director, cinematographer, artist, and cast, and has become the leading film studio in the mainland, like Liu Xiaoqing was cultivated by Wang Yang. And the directors of many local film factories are also Wang Yang's apprentices.
Zeng Bolin still sat down some homework in advance, and took the opportunity to whisper in Kang Jianfei's ear: "Boss, everyone here wants to sell Wang Yang's face, he is very comfortable in the mainland." ”
Kang Jianfei smiled and nodded in understanding, and then when he talked to Wang Yang, he unconsciously became much warmer.
Deputy Director Zhao sat on the chairman's seat and spoke first: "Today, we are very happy that film workers from the mainland and Hong Kong can gather together to exchange and discuss the creation and development of Chinese films. Film is an art, a tool for discovering beauty, creating beauty, and showing beauty...... The purpose of today's exchange meeting for filmmakers is to discover each other's shortcomings and learn from each other's strengths. It is undeniable that due to the stagnation of the development of mainland films after a decade of movement, we have lagged behind our Hong Kong compatriots in terms of film technology and expression methods. But we are not useless, for example, the young director Chen Kaige's "Yellow Earth" has just won an international award...... Before the exchange meeting begins, let's first enjoy "Dao Ma Dan" directed by Kang Jianfei and "Yellow Earth" directed by Chen Kaige, and exchange and discuss these two good movies......"
Deputy Director Zhang spoke for 20 minutes before it ended, and then the doors and windows of the conference room were covered by black cloths, and a white cloth was hung in front of him as a screen, and a projector was set up behind him to start showing "Dao Ma Dan".
Among the people attending the meeting, most of them had never watched Kang Jianfei's movie, mainly because they did not watch it, even Brother Chen Kai.
The opening scene is a ridiculous warlord, who wants to marry Zhong Chuhong, who sings, as his aunt's wife, and then a series of funny scenes make the conference room burst into chuckles from time to time.
The officials of the film bureau watched it most easily, and only needed to be the audience to enjoy it, and laughed out loud from time to time.
However, mainland filmmakers like Wang Yang and Chen Kaige had heavy faces after seeing the most slight, and they laughed bitterly at many jokes, because they found that the gap between their film and this "Sword and Horse" was too big.
doesn't mention the plot of the movie, just the shots, soundtrack, and martial arts action...... Even the picture quality of the movie, "Dao Ma Dan" almost completely crushes today's domestic films.
Due to the problem of time, after the screening of "Dao Ma Dan", everyone will start a meeting to exchange and discuss, and the screening and discussion of "Yellow Earth" will be held in the afternoon.
When the closing credits of "Sword and Horse" rose on the screen, thunderous applause rang out in the conference room.
Wang Yang, the director of Beijing Film Studio, has channels to watch foreign movies, but he used to only watch films from leftist companies, and at this time he couldn't help but sigh: "I only thought that "Shaolin Temple" was well made, but I didn't expect that there would be movies like "Dao Ma Dan" in Hong Kong.
