Ministry of Culture. Relevant cadres and comrades from the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office are here. Due to Mr. Chen Qi's troubles, the two units have become very familiar with each other recently, and they greet each other warmly. The official leader Zhu Muzhi was also invited, wearing an old large cotton-padded jacket with a faded sweater underneath, and carrying a large teapot. This group of people usually have nothing to do. Chen Qi is like a salesman from the village. Every now and then, he brings some interesting things and talks about outside affairs, so everyone likes to attend meetings with Chen Qi. "Okay, let's have a meeting!" Ding Qiao came to host and said: "Xiao Chen just came back today. I wanted him to rest, but he was eager to report to the organization. I also think there is some valuable content, so I held this meeting temporarily. Thank you all for being able to Come. Xiao Chen, just tell me! " "Whoosh!" Everyone in the audience stared at Chen Qi with great interest, expecting him to say something against Tiangang again. They saw him say: "Last year, oh no, it should be the year before last, Dongfang Company was founded, and the organization trusted me, and sent I'm going to Hong Kong to have a try. We have just experienced a complete year, and there is indeed a lot to report to the leaders. But if we go into detail one by one, I am afraid it will take three days and three nights. I will pick out a few key points today. "
“First point, last year left-wing films achieved unprecedented success! "Shaolin Temple", 16 million box office; "Tai Chi 2", 25 million box office; "Orphan", 8 million box office; "Journey to the Wrath", 15 million box office; There is also the currently being released "The Love of Ghosts". The box office in the first seven days has exceeded 10 million, setting a record in the Hong Kong film industry. It is estimated to be between 26 million and 30 million! There are also "Mom Love Me Again", "Dark Invasion 2", "Fatal Turn 2", etc., which add up to more than 10 million. Basically, we can be sure that the total box office of leftist movies last year could reach HK$100 million! Last year, the total box office in Hong Kong was about 400 million. With the fewest theaters, the weakest lineup, and the most marginalized position, we fought the most beautiful battle since the birth of the left, killing Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest, and New Arts City, and monopolizing 25% market share! " Buzz! The conference room became agitated, everyone was beaming with joy, and it was true. Listening to Xiao Chen's report was a pleasure. 100 million is nothing in Mainland China, a movie may be over 100 million, but this is Hong Kong. Hong Kong only has a population of 5 million, which is a much bigger market, not to mention that it is 100 million Hong Kong dollars earned from foreign companies! Foreign exchange! It’s so embarrassing! In the midst of excitement, a person from the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office suddenly said: "Xiao Chen, will your actions affect the stability of the Hong Kong film market and be detrimental to the united front and unity?" "That's what I thought!" Chen Qi glanced at him and said: "If the best resources are on our side, and if we are the one with the most box office every year, then why do we need to unite? They will defect to us on their own." "this……" The other party was stunned, having never thought of such a thing.
Chen Qi continued: "The second point is that I have registered a subsidiary and am planning to make a movie. I have already negotiated the channels. After the filming is completed, it will be distributed to Taiwan..." puff! One person almost sprayed tea. "I also want to use this company to recruit more Taiwanese actors and singers and make them ours." puff! Half the people squirted. These words sounded like a sudden announcement of military unification—a military unification in the literary and artistic circles. Everyone stared at each other, feeling that today's content was more exciting than usual. The first one to speak was Zhu Muzhi, who laughed loudly: "Good boy! We are worrying about how to establish cultural ties with Taiwan, and you are just giving me a pillow because you are sleepy!" "No, no, no, you misunderstood. We cannot send it to Taiwan openly. This company cannot publicize it." Chen Qi quickly explained. "I understand, I understand. I have been doing revolutionary work for so many years, but I still don't know the twists and turns? But you have taken this step very well. Pay attention to concealment and keep it up. Is there anything else?" Zhu Muzhi was very interested. "One last thing..." Chen Qi paused and said: "I want to send "Life is Beautiful" to the Berlin Film Festival. Registration was originally closed in November last year, and the film was not yet completed at that time. I made an abbreviated version and gave it to the chairman of the Berlin Film Festival, Harder. Hader was full of praise after reading it and gave us extra time to submit it in December. Now that the copy of "Life is Beautiful" has been submitted, Berlin has also announced the shortlist. After the Spring Festival Gala, we have to leave for Berlin immediately, including me, director Li Wenhua, male protagonist Yan Shunkai, and female protagonist Gong Xue. " "..." When Ding Qiao heard Gong Xue's name, he glanced at his grandson. Chen Qi added: ""Life Is Beautiful" hired 30 foreign actors. We got along very well and established a deep friendship. Before the filming started, I had put forward some ideas to use this film to expand our foreign cultural exchanges. Establish an international image. I'm a quiet person, but I'm very brave. At this moment, I had the courage to propose to the leaders: There were many foreign friends who lived in Chinese concentration camps and were tortured and persecuted by the Japanese, and most of them wrote memoirs. It was more convenient for me to collect some memoirs in Hong Kong, and I also found out the identities of the people involved. include: Professor at Shanghai International Studies University, Ms. Bai Lishi; Famous British writer, . Ballard; Wife of Citibank Chairman, Shadra Sima Rai; The current US ambassador to China, Hudson Taylor, was born in Fenyang, Shanxi; The president of the Chinese Theological Seminary in Taiwan, a foreign pastor, Dai Shaozeng. His great-grandfather was Hudson Taylor, a British missionary who came to China in the late Qing Dynasty and took a Chinese name, Dai. His descendants also took the surname Dai. There is another lady, Aimee Dai, who is also from this family and is a member of the New Jersey State Congress. She was born in Henan and studied in Yantai. She was only 9 years old when she was imprisoned in a concentration camp. She has deep feelings for China..."
Chen Qi said a lot and said, "My ability is limited. I can only find so much. Ambassador Hudson Taylor is in China, and there is also Professor Barry. I wonder if I can invite them to watch "Life is Beautiful"? There are also a few others. I want to send an invitation letter to invite them to the Berlin Film Festival to watch the movie with our main creators and tell the story of the concentration camp. I think they should be very happy. ” “If it works, with the parties testifying on the spot, and the media publishing it, plus the spread of the film festival, Japan will have one more irrefutable piece of evidence for the crimes it committed in China. They can’t refute it, and the matter will be nailed down!” Chen Qi was righteous, indignant, and well-founded. He didn’t see that the whole thing was just caused by his sister being reported. “…” Ding Qiao wanted to laugh when he heard it. After getting to know this kid for a long time, he gradually understood it. His brain seemed to be grown on an alien planet. Everyone thought he was going to do this, but he didn’t. He had to do that, but he could still achieve unexpected results. Chen Qi didn’t realize that his leader was complaining about him, and he was still excited. Of course, he was really concerned about this matter, and he liked to use the power of others to fight against the power of others: “Look at these people, there are British celebrities, relatives of American capitalists, American officials, Taiwanese religious people... and they all have a common identity, victims of concentration camps! We invited them to come to China to revisit the concentration camps and meet old friends. I heard that they received a lot of help from Chinese people. This is a great opportunity for international cultural exchange, developing international friends, and shaping an international image!"
