Chen Qi was very familiar with the factory director's office. He went in and sat on the sofa. He poured himself some tea, looked at Wang Yang, and said with a smile: "You have a happy event. You look so happy." "It should be your happy event!" Wang Yang picked up a pile of information and handed it to him, saying: "I have been in meetings these days, specifically studying your arrangements, and finally came up with a preliminary charter." "Then please take the trouble to tell me about it. The document is too abstract." "Okay, some things really can't be written down." Wang Yang sorted out the words and said: "There is a Foreign Cultural Liaison Bureau under the Ministry of Culture, which is responsible for literary and artistic exchanges with Hong Kong, Macao and overseas. Set up a company in the name of the Liaison Bureau, give you the right to shoot on your own, give you the right to distribute overseas, and give you the right to cooperate with the Hong Kong left!" Hiss! Chen Qi took a breath of Sister Gong Xue, and the heat surged up. These are what he wanted! But he calmed down in an instant and asked: "Just tell me the details. What are the restrictions?" "Ha, you are quite sober!"
Wang Yang took a puff of cigarette and said slowly: "As for the producer, you have to put the name of Beijing Film Studio. You can use the resources of Beijing Film Studio or find them from outside. No one will interfere with you. You can decide what to shoot and how to shoot." "I have the conditions. I can put the name of Beijing Film Studio, but I also have to add the name of the company. That means there are two producers, you in front and I in the back." From this moment on, the relationship between Chen Qi and Wang Yang has changed. Wang Yang has helped him a lot, and he also wants to repay him. He is willing to give Beijing Film Studio some benefits under appropriate conditions. "Sure!" Wang Yang nodded and said, "The Ministry of Culture will allocate two quotas to you every year, which means you can make two films a year." "Too little!" "Boy, you are alone, two films a year is not enough?" "Wow, I'm going to get up and stop being a human, five or six films a year is no problem!" "Bullshit! You can make them first, and apply for more later if they are not enough. Third, the domestic distribution of "Tai Chi" has been handed over to China Film, and the money from the sale of copies will be given to you as start-up capital." "Sure!" Chen Qi knew that the number of copies of "Tai Chi" would definitely set a new record, and if the Ministry of Culture really allocated funds, it might not be as much as this. "The company's finances are connected to the upper level, and the foreign exchange earned goes directly into the national treasury, and then converted into RMB and allocated to you according to a certain ratio." "The company can go overseas to distribute, but it can only distribute films produced by itself. It can cooperate with Hong Kong leftists, and co-production films do not occupy quotas. You can discuss the specific agreement yourself. Finally, it will be much more convenient for you to leave the country in the future. That's about it, do you have anything else to say?" Chen Qi thought for a moment and asked: "Can I expand my own financial resources?" "What do you want to do?" "Give me a publication number, I want to publish a magazine. Or allow me to borrow money from the bank and raise funds from other places." "We still have to study it."
Wang Yang made a note in the notebook and asked: Anything else?" "Who are the current staff?" "One person will be sent down to be the chief executive, and the finance department, and you, three people. You will be responsible for the specific business, and you can recruit your own team." "That's fine, otherwise I will be left alone." "Nothing else, just talk about the company name. Our opinion is that it should not be too commercial, it will look like a capitalist company, it should be low-key and tactful." "Low-key and tactful..." Chen Qi thought for a while and said, "China International Cultural and Art Exchange Co., Ltd., how about it?" Wang Yang slapped him and scolded, "What the hell! It's also a national name, is the national name a general enterprise?" "What about Beijing International?" "No! ” “Then it should be called Oriental Culture and Art Co., Ltd. It can’t be any lower. It can’t be called Dashilan, right?” “Let’s study it!” Wang Yang sorted out all the things with him, smoked silently, and suddenly sighed: “Boy, you told me that we would make foreign exchange together, and now we have realized it. I have always wanted you to come to Beijing Film Studio. You said you wanted to do it yourself, and now you have succeeded.” “Don’t say that, I feel bad too. You have helped me so much, I will definitely repay you! In fact, you should think like this. With our current model, we will have closer contact in the future, even closer than before, don’t you think? And I have to borrow your place to work, and I have to use your name, it’s nothing Changes!" "You still want to take advantage at this time, all right, get out!" Wang Yang waved his hand to drive him out. Chen Qi took two steps and asked again: "By the way, how did you negotiate with China Film?" "Ha! China Film is in a mess now. Other studios have come to Beijing and want to take advantage of it and snatch the distribution rights." "..." Chen Qi hesitated and persuaded: "Old Director, what I said may be inappropriate, but I think it is not a good time for you to grab the domestic distribution rights. If you really want to grab them, you might as well grab them overseas. Let's go to sea together and make some real money. It will definitely benefit everyone. We will talk again when we have the chance." Wang Yang was stunned. When he looked at him again, he had already gone out. ………… A few days later. The matter was finally settled: Oriental Culture and Art Co., Ltd. was established, Chen Qi was responsible for the film business, agreed to let him run a magazine, and the rest was in accordance with the rules discussed by Wang Yang and him. Chen Qi realized the boast he had made at the beginning and opened his own hall! Although this hall still has many restrictions, in today's environment, it is already open and cannot be opened any more. He understands that he is needed as a pilot for reform, which does not matter, as long as he can do the work. This company, like China Film, is affiliated with the Ministry of Culture.
The scale is definitely not comparable, with only a few cats and cats. Even the administrative chief sent is a retired cadre named Li Mingfu. The old man is very kind and smiles, and he knows his job tasks very well. Chen Qi chatted with him and felt that this person was okay. After all, he was too young and his position could not be too high, which was a disadvantage, but because of this, he did not have to deal with those administrative trivialities and could focus on business. This company currently only exists verbally, and it will take some time to implement it. He just went to recruit soldiers. The industry has received the news, and the various studios are excited. More and more people are going to Beijing to work for China Film, all wanting to get the distribution rights... But Chen Qi knows that it was indeed liberalized in the mid-to-late 1980s. At that time, there were multiple settlement methods such as agency distribution, one-time buyout, and proportional profit sharing. The studios were overjoyed, but what was the result? It was only implemented for 2 years, and then they resumed selling copies. The domestic environment is special, and Chen Qi has now successfully bypassed it. In the future, he can go to Hong Kong and overseas relatively freely, and cooperate with the leftists openly. This is very important. He does not want to rely on the mainland and establish a foothold in Hong Kong, but to establish a foothold in the mainland and occupy Hong Kong! If those studios are smart, they should come to seek joint production and let Chen Qi take the lead, instead of endlessly arguing with China Film... "Half of the burden of the two capitals and thirteen provinces is on my shoulders!" (No more...)
