That night. In the bedroom, Chen Qi was working at his desk, really revising the script of "Red Dresses Are Popular on the Street". The original story is still a bit too earthy. For a fashion film, it needs to be more fashionable. If you do the math, Gong Xue has already filmed "Romance in Lushan Mountain", "Tai Chi 123", "Mom Love Me Again", "Life is Beautiful" and "Under the Bridge". Including this one, there are eight dramas. And if you give birth to a child, your next film may have to wait until the year after next. In almost a year and a half, in the current generation where traffic is dominant, those little flowers and little fresh meat have been reincarnated countless times. It is different now, one work can last for a long time. Therefore, Gong Xue has been bombing for four consecutive years. She is the only one in China and has always been the most popular female star. "Curious?" "Um?" Chen Qi turned around. Gong Xue had just washed his hair and wrapped his head in a towel. He said, "How about you go to Hong Kong and make me some new clothes? I will wear them when I want to go to the United States." "I remember it, and I need you to remind me!" "I know you remember it, and I want to talk to you."
Gong Xue sat next to her, her eyes bulging, and her face full of yearning: "Do you think that Oscar is really that good? Will all the American literary and art circles attend it?" "Yes, yes, the president of the American Federation of Literary and Art Circles is also participating!" "Be serious, let me ask you, is the Oscar the most powerful award in the world?" "From a film industry perspective, yes!" "What about American actors? I haven't come across them yet." "Forget it, the left-wing filmmakers in Hollywood have been abolished, and the rest are just a bunch of rubbish. They are just sensual and dissipated. Actors, regardless of gender, if they want to get a role, 40% of their effort must be in acting. Sixty percent of the time is spent in bed..." Chen Qi gave her a popular science red sofa, and Gong Xue was stunned for a moment, wondering: "I can understand a woman, but how do actors trade?" "Three flat ones are not as good as one round one. Fuck your butt to celebrate the New Year!" "Bah, bah, bah! What did you say?" "Seriously, it's true all over the world at home and abroad. Hollywood is just open. Don't think that male actors are safe and can't escape. Have you ever heard of a male nanny?" "What's the meaning?" "You're just a new guy. What should you do if you want to get ahead? Find a male star who has this kind of habit and be his nanny. You'll serve him in and out of bed. Once he's happy, he'll introduce you to him for filming, and he'll be a star in one fell swoop." Chen Qi is not talking nonsense. For example, Brad Pitt worked as a nanny when he was making a living in the 1980s. "Dad, my mother! Is this still the literary and art world?" Under his indiscriminate bombardment, Gong Xue suddenly became disenchanted with Hollywood. Chen Qi sighed: "We are bound by the environment. When we let go in the future, we won't have to give in too much. Let's laugh at the same time! Anyway, you understand now. When you see American celebrities, you stay away." "Well, I'll stay away!" Gong Xue nodded.
Chen Qi was very pleased. Just leave this kind of task to me. Brooke Shields is already 1 and Connery is 14 years old! ……………… Radio and television compound. In the office, Wu Lengxi was reading a report. The radio and television system was organizing an inspection delegation to the United States. After he had the idea of merging movies and television, he immediately took action. This kind of thing must first be verified by practical examples. He knew some things about American TV and movies, but he still organized an inspection team just to solidify the investigation. In the 1950s and 1960s in the United States, the film industry was also impacted by television, and the industry was in decline. At that time, major companies were working for TV stations, specializing in making short films that could be watched on TV, commonly known as TV movies. Does this word sound familiar? Domestic movie channels were the first to show TV movies, which they learned from the United States. In fact, the main reason why domestic movie channels were established in the 1990s was to provide relief for the movie market, which was at its lowest point at that time. The movie channel spends money to buy the studio's movies. Although it is not many, it at least has an additional distribution channel, which can help the studio get some blood. Of course, the 1980s had not yet reached that point. At this stage, Wu Lengxi sent people to the United States to investigate, just to enhance the persuasiveness of the unified management of film and television. As he was watching, his secretary came to report: "Comrade Chen Qi has arrived!" "Please!" These two words made the secretary stunned. Good guy, please come quickly! In the blink of an eye, Chen Qi entered the room. "Minister Wu!" "Xiao Chen is here, sit down quickly!" Wu Lengxi smiled and was very enthusiastic. He made tea with his own hands. Chen Qi was not flattered at all. He was at the division level, and then he was only two levels behind the department level and the ministerial level! "You did a great job this Spring Festival Gala. CCTV received a room full of letters of praise from the masses, most of which are due to you. Are you really willing to give up such a good stage? Don't you want to do it next year?" "A person's energy is limited, and I am really busy." "It's okay if you don't do it, to express my understanding. I've always wanted to talk to you, and I just have time today..." Wu Lengxi also drank tea and said with a smile: "I heard that you are still doing TV shows in Hong Kong?" "Yes, I have worked with ATV on several projects." "In your opinion, how does the mainland TV industry compare with Hong Kong? Don't have any worries and speak boldly. I know we are lagging behind. Only by objective understanding can we make progress." "Technological backwardness is a trivial matter, the key is the environment. If we want to catch up, we must rely on the loosening of the environment and the emancipation of the mind..." Chen Qi was invited to come today. He and Wu Lengxi were not familiar with each other, so he would definitely not say anything practical and just talk for the occasion. Wu Lengxi seemed not to notice, and chatted for a long time, then asked: "In recent years, TV dramas have developed rapidly, and the audience is increasing. I know there is a voice now saying that TV dramas have snatched the audience of movies. What do you think?" "There is no snatching or not snatching. The iron must be hard to forge!" Chen Qi laughed. "Haha, yes, that's the truth!"
Wu Lengxi didn't let him go, and asked further: "You are doing both movies and TV. Which do you think is better?" "..." Chen Qi is not stupid, this is intentional recruitment. The key is that the Ministry of Culture was indeed split in history, and the film system was assigned to the radio and television. But unlike the current trajectory, the Ministry of Culture has an additional Oriental Company. He thought for a moment and said seriously: "To be honest, I'm not sure if I'm in the film system, because my superior unit is the Foreign Cultural Liaison Bureau, and my task is to earn foreign exchange and export products. As long as it meets this standard, I can do it. So you asked me which is better, TV or movies? I really can't answer." "..." Wu Lengxi was silent for a while, nodded: "That's right, you are special." Then, the two chatted again, and Chen Qi said goodbye. Wu Lengxi was alone in the room, thinking carefully, and sighed: "It's really a bit troublesome to be the only unit in the country!" Chen Qi made movies, but strictly speaking, he was not in the film system. Dongfang Company was an experimental field. If the radio and television wanted to come, the Ministry of Culture would work hard, and this goal was too conspicuous and the central government would have opinions. He thought about it for a long time, forget it, or finalize the matter of going to the United States for inspection. (Thanks to Ye Xiaocao and Woofer for being the leader! No more...)
