Chapter 1028 Low-key in high-profile
They have a meeting and shoot at the same time, without interfering with each other.
Anyway, they just need to take pictures of enough materials and will edit them later. It was noon after the meeting, and the crew was invited to the cafeteria for dinner, just in time for the scene of everyone eating.
It's past one pm.
Back in the conference room, he conducted an exclusive interview with the couple.
If you change to other young cadres, how do you dress up on regular occasions? You usually wear a hand-knitted striped sweater, with a shirt inside, and the collar of the shirt is exposed. Sometimes you wear a tie, which is stuffed inside the sweater, and there is a gray, dirt-free suit on the outside.
This is already very particular.
Chen Qi was not wearing a suit, a sweater, or a tie, and only had a white shirt - it was not cold for heating, and then he wore glasses like a dog. Gong Xue was wearing a black sweater with a high-neck combed hair and a little pink.
The two sat in front of the camera, like a superstar. The cameraman admitted that they were the best interviewees he had ever taken.
"Start it?"
"here we go!"
According to the interview outline, they want to talk about company performance, American awards, overseas publicity, etc. These are normal problems. After all, they have to praise Oriental Company and national publicity.
But Director Zhang thinks it is too simple to talk about these issues and wants to talk about some in-depth ones.
"We have gained a foothold in the United States. This year, there are three films, two romance films and one female road film. They are all very good films and may achieve better results." Chen Qi said.
"You said you have stood firm, can you explain it in detail?"
"detailed?"
"What is the reason? Out of our own efforts? Is it related to the characteristics of the American film industry? How is the market tolerance there?" Director Zhang said.
Um?
Chen Qi became alert, looked at the other party, and said, "What you asked was not in the outline, so I can't answer for a while."
"Oh sorry, sorry, let's continue."
Director Zhang asked again according to the outline: "Man in New York won the Oscar. This is a movie that reflects immigration. Now it's a hot topic to go abroad..."
"I'll correct it!"
As expected, Chen Qi did not cooperate at all and directly interrupted him: "This is not a movie that reflects immigration, it just tells a story about a traditional father-daughter relationship."
“…”
Director Zhang was choked, paused, and asked again: "Why do Americans like to watch the movies you made? Do you use Chinese thinking to shoot, or Western thinking to shoot?"
"I used the mindset of filming!"
"What is the basic concept of Oriental Company going overseas?"
"The idea is to make a good movie!"
Damn!
Director Zhang rolled his eyes, are you talking nonsense?
He continued to ask, Chen Qi continued to fail to cooperate, and only answered questions about the performance and development of Oriental Company. The oil and salt did not enter, as if Section Chief Ma possessed him.
Section Chief Ma, the leader in Wu'an, Hebei, showed a strong ability to pretend to be confused when facing reporters' questions about the steel industry. He was ridiculed online at that time and was praised again several years later.
Director Zhang wanted to pry Chen Qi's mouth open, but he failed, so he had to interview step by step. The people in the team also frowned. This was different from what they imagined. They thought they would hear some wonderful sparks of thought, and they ended up drying.
Chen Qi: I'm crazy and I'm talking nonsense on TV? Don't look at when!
Director Zhang turned to Gong Xue again to ask a question. Seeing that he was so sympathetic, Gong Xue began to pretend to be confused, only talking about "Desire", talking about family and children, and talking about continuing to serve the people.
In the end, this interview did not deepen as Director Zhang expected, and became a simple publicity of the deeds of advanced figures.
The crew left with regret.
In the following days, Chen Qi and Gong Xue were interviewed by various newspapers, including second-rate newspapers. They also met Yu Jiajia, who had been missing for a long time. Yu Jiajia was doing well and had already climbed to the position of director of China Youth Daily.
Chen Qi went to the Ministry of Truth to give a report, and the report materials will be distributed to units in the entire ideological system.
He has already obtained all the achievements he has made before, such as medals and outstanding workers, but this is the first time he has been promoted on a large scale by the official. The leader has good intentions, but he has to be careful.
…………
So, in the "News Broadcast" a few days later, audiences across the country saw Comrade Chen Qi.
"Oriental Company is based in China and looks at the world, and promotes Chinese films to shine on the international stage... Always adhere to the people-centered creative orientation, deeply explore the excellent traditional Chinese culture, and create a number of film and television masterpieces with profound thoughts, superb art and excellent production."
"It demonstrates the vigorous vitality of China's cultural industry and sets an example for more literary and artistic workers. The Chinese aesthetic spirit and value pursuit shown in the works have won wide resonance with overseas audiences and become an important carrier for spreading Chinese culture and promoting civilized exchanges."
"After the film industry was a success, Oriental has turned its goal to the booming domestic TV series. It is reported that they are preparing for a 50-episode TV series "Desire"..."
Interspersed with internal scenes of the company, meetings, Oscars and other scenes, and finally an exclusive interview with the two.
Since I didn't ask any exciting content, I had only a few sentences in the interview - this is exactly what Chen Qi hoped, as long as the company gets praise, the individual doesn't matter, this is called low-key in high-profile.
But for the audience, many people saw Chen Qi's true face for the first time, and the yellow-haired man who had been hidden for many years finally made their debut.
"Hey, it's this kid! It's him who married Gong Xue away!"
"Which is better than me in oily and powdery noodles?"
"I saw it and beat it once!"
"Comrade Gong Xue is still so beautiful!"
"Ah! She smiled!"
...
""eager"?"
Zheng Xiaolong also saw the "News Broadcast" of that day at home. He felt that the dark clouds covered the top and his luck was taken away.
...
Beijing Film Studio.
Song Chong sighed.
The leader also talked to him. Although the Japanese concession was not successful, he had made serious political mistakes. He would stay at Beijing Film Studio as a director, and his salary remained unchanged.
Song Chong said he accepted it and knew that Oriental Company was going to acquire it.
“Send a notice!”
"good!"
He gave an order, and a notice was quickly posted in the factory's publicity column. The huge font was clear, and the general idea was: Given the difficult situation in Beijing Film Studio, the boss intends to merge the factory with Oriental Company and needs to solicit collective opinions.
Therefore, a general meeting of all workers will be held after the Spring Festival and vote!
boom!
A stone caused a thousand waves! Even though many people were thinking this way, when this day really came, it was very complicated. The more people gathered in front of the bulletin board, and finally they almost started to quarrel.
"Beijing Film Studio is Beijing Film Studio. What are the combinations? There are only a few people in Oriental Company? You want to go!"
"Oh! You don't know what the situation in the factory is? You can't afford to buy coal. If you have the ability, you can get money? If you can get money, I am willing to continue staying in the factory!"
"How do we arrange for us after the merger? Will the salary increase?"
"Will we all be opened?"
"You didn't read it! Oriental Company will also attend the conference and explain the situation."
“…”
Among the group, Tian Zhuangzhuang, Chen Kaige, and Li Shaohong were quiet and had different expressions. Tian Zhuangzhuang was a little helpless, Li Shaohong was a little looking forward to it. Director Chen was like pig's liver. How could this work?!
Chapter completed!
