Chapter 857 Why are we not great

Before Wu Shaozu contacted him, leader Zhu was transferred away.

The new leader's surname is Wang.

He has no local experience, and has been engaged in theory in the research institute since he graduated from university, and has also been the deputy editor-in-chief of "Red Flag" magazine.

Speaking of which, Chen Qi has come into contact with and often interacted with many senior cadres since he traveled through time. Now that he has changed his position, even Ding Qiao has to go to that group to be the team leader.

It can be said to be a moving leader, and Xiao Chen is so strong!

"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"

"Please come in!"

On this day, Chen Qi was called to the Ministry of Truth, knocked on the door of the office, and met Leader Wang.

In his 50s, he has thick eyebrows and is wearing a gray cotton coat that has been washed until gray. His serious look will remind people of the director of the teaching staff or the old scholars of ancient times.

"Comrade Chen Qi!"

Leader Wang didn't even call Xiao Chen, and his name was very formal. He signaled him to sit down and went straight to the point: "Today I will talk to you. I have read a lot of information about you and Oriental Company. You have special tasks and done a good job. Keep up with it in the future!"

"Thank you for your encouragement, we must do our job well!"

Chen Qi was a little stuck, but he didn't expect that the new leader had this straightforward style.

"You should know that we will set up a leading group on major themes of revolutionary history, and start this year to highlight the main theme movies and control ideology. What do you think?"

Since the other party is direct and cannot take a turn, Chen Qiluo thought about it and said, "The problems in our movie system are very obvious. Without the determination to make a big deal of reform, the root cause will not be eliminated. My personal opinion is, who will pay the funds for the main theme movie first?

Studios are poorer than the other, and the state can only provide support and subsidies.

Secondly, is anyone watching the photo taken?

The movie environment is obvious to all, and the audience likes to watch entertainment movies—

"Then do you have any good ideas?" Leader Wang suddenly said.

"There is no good idea, but it's not a good solution to the symptoms. For example, encouraging government agencies and enterprises to conduct a tour, the box office will be very good."

Leader Wang pondered for a moment and said, "If your "Creation of the Kingdom" was filmed, would you also use this method?"

"This is the only way to do this at this stage."

"Shanghai's film companies are interested in attracting Hong Kong films into Shanghai. What do you think?"

"I think we can try it, which will help us grasp the Hong Kong literary and artistic circles and add another experimental point for mainland reform."

Leader Wang is like an examiner, and Chen Qi has to get serious and answer it in a straightforward manner. However, he does not express his opinion on these questions, as if he only listens to Chen Qi's opinions.

After asking a few more things, Leader Wang's eyebrows made his whole face look more serious, and said, "You have been stationed in Hong Kong all year round and often travel to the United States. You are more familiar with the West. Do you think our movies should learn Western movies?"

Yo!

Chen Qi's heart was shocked. This is probably the core element today.

In 1987, it was late 1980s.

Leader Zhu never asked Chen Qi about his thoughts and was very relaxed to him.

Of course he was not afraid of anything. To be honest, "The American film industry is indeed ahead of us. I launched the exchange plan to go to the United States to learn their technology and models. But I emphasized to the students very much that you can learn anything well, and you must not learn a single head of Western ideas and come back!"

"Oh? Why is this?"

Leader Wang blinked his eyes and showed a more humane expression for the first time.

"Last year I had a photographer who took a fancy to a novel "Red Sorghum" and wanted to make a movie. I don't think it's good, there are too many feudal and ugly things in it. Now it's when China is in line with the world and the whole world knows China.

What we show to Westerners is extremely important.

I don't know too many theories. I just think we should output a side that is conducive to international exchanges, rather than belittle ourselves and ugliness. We must have cultural confidence and not fall into the Western ideological trap.

Their set of things is good, progressive, civilized, and everything else is wrong, backward, uncivilized. This is called a trap.

If we put it, China is backward in its silence and needs the West to enlighten and lead. People look down on us so much, so we are still rushing to cater to it? So I denied "Red Sorghum", and I don't like the Italian "The Last Emperor".

I always think we are great!”

"Great? How do you say this definition?" said Leader Wang.

"I'm talking nonsense, you can criticize anything wrong!"

Chen Qi didn't know the specific data, and he didn't list them one by one, but what he said was also public facts:

"Take the first 30 years of the founding of New China as an example, we literate, suppress bandits, ban drugs, transform prostitutes, agrarian revolution, popularize rural medical care, eliminate all kinds of parasites, liberate serfs, build water conservancy, and establish industrial systems!

We have developed an atomic bomb! Hydrogen bomb! Satellites to the sky! Resist foreign humiliation and the war of establishing a country in the war of resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea! And we won all border wars! We sat in the seat of the Five Constables of the United Nations!

If it were the United States or any country, they would not be able to do it for a hundred years! So why aren’t we great?”

In a moment!

Leader Wang's serious and deep eyes suddenly shone brightly.

He has been doing theoretical research for decades and was most deeply touched when he watched the country step by step. Some people always regard the first thirty years as static, as if China did nothing, just being poor, and then opened its country and got better all of a sudden.

How is that possible?

But he never expected that this was spoken from a 26-year-old young comrade who was generally considered "very Westernized".

"Okay, let's get here today, you can go back first."

Leader Wang didn't say anything. When Chen Qi left, he sighed: "It's rare! It's so rare, the young man is terrifying!"

Chen Qi passed the ideological assessment of the new leader.

He cared more about the Hong Kong films entering Shanghai, and felt that they were almost inseparable.

Because there will be a trial reform this year: Didn’t China Film settle on copy in the past? This year it was cancelled, and studios can discuss with China Film how to issue it, including agency issuance, one-time buyout, proportional share, etc.

The studio has been asking for distribution rights, and now it’s so exciting, the cults and entertainment films are all over the world just to sell them more money.

As a result, in just two years, in 1989, it was restored to copy settlement, but the unit price rose from 9,000 yuan to 10,500 yuan. The reform failed!

It must have failed. The system is so chaotic. The studio is diving into it and serving local film companies as food.

In 1988, a screenwriter of the General Political Department Theater Troupe wanted to make a drama for the 40th anniversary celebration, which was the "Creation Ceremony". He was friends with Changzhou Film Studio's screenwriter Zhang Xiaotian and Zhang Tianmin. When they talked about this, they said, "It's too small to make a drama."

The first thing Changying and Xiying thought about it together.

As a result, several people brought the script to the Xi'an Film Studio. The director of the factory Wu Tianming was on a business trip. A deputy factory director received the reception and said, "Is anyone watching something like you now?"

As for the distribution reform mentioned above, everyone is looking for entertainment films, and no one is willing to shoot the main theme. In the end, Changzhou Film Studio decided to produce it separately, which led to the "Create of the National Encyclopedia".

In early February, the capital was still cold.

A van picked up people at the train station, drove into Beijing Film Studio in a low-key manner, and parked in front of the bungalow of Oriental Company.

As soon as the car door opened, four people came down.
