"Comrade Xiao Shen." Chen Bo held the military green iron-shelled water bottle and poured water, saying: "How are you talking about the introduction of "Empty Mountain Spirit Rain" today? Come and have a tea."

"Thank you, Director Chen." Chen Chong stood up, took the white porcelain teacup full of the atmosphere of the times with both hands, placed it on the coffee table in the middle of the sofa, and said: "The movie input and output company is not authentic, everyone has too many differences, and I don't think it's possible to talk about it."

"Oh?" Chen Bo raised his eyebrows, sat behind the desk, and asked with a smile: "Why is it not authentic?

"They only offer 100,000 yuan. Isn't this obviously bullying me?" Chen Chong complained and said, "The mainland people are enthusiastic about watching movies, and martial arts movies are blank again. My "Empty Mountain Spirit Rain" is fresh and novel. Even if it is not as good as the box office of "The Gunshot of the Secret Bureau", the RU should be worth 00,000 yuan, right? This is the movie that Mr. Deng has watched twice, and only gave 100,000 yuan to send the beggar."

"You, you are such an authentic capitalist." Chen Bo smiled and pointed at him with a hand holding a cigarette box, saying: "The input and output company has just been established and has limited funds, so you must understand them."

"I understand them, but who understands me?" Chen Chong spread his hands and said, "I bought the copyright of this movie, but I spent more than 1 million Hong Kong dollars and sold it for 100,000 yuan. Wouldn't I lose all my money?"

"What are you saying? You are a rich man. How can you lose all your money?" Chen Bo laughed. He lit a cigarette, took a few sips before gritting his teeth and said, "Comrade Xiao Shen, I am here to rely on my seniority and give a shameless face to help Lao Zhang, who is the input and output company, asks for a love affair. You donated millions of dollars of equipment to the Beijing Film Academy and the Beijing Film Studio without blinking. This time, I will use it as a donation and a favor, and sell it to them for 100,000 yuan. OK?"

"Director Chen, it's not that I'm rigid, nor that I don't give you face." Chen Chong sat upright and said seriously: "I think business is business, donation is donation, and doing business is not a matter of one person. Everyone should follow the rules and abilities. Donation is personal will. How to donate and how much is a personal matter. The two cannot be confused, otherwise it will be messed up. I have no objection to donate to the input and output company. As long as they offer a reasonable price, I can donate it immediately after I get the money. In short, this money must be made in a reasonable and legal way first, and then I can discuss the donation. Otherwise, whoever sees me in the future and has not yet negotiated the business, let me donate some first, so how can I live?"

After saying that, he paused and said, "It's like being an official. I don't work hard and seek to improve myself. Instead, I came over and said to you: Director Chen, you have a high position and a powerful person. I am a commoner. Why don't you give me some power and give me a section chief and director to me? Is this possible? Is it bad rules?"

"At a young age, I know a lot about the big truth." Chen Bo laughed and said, "I also know you are talking about the truth, but the movie input and output company really can't afford it. They don't have the right to show the screening. After buying it, they have to hand it over to Zhongying. If China Film Company doesn't offer high prices, how can they offer high prices? It's sandwiched in the middle and both ends are angry. The company has been established for two months and has not agreed on a movie. Lao Zhang's beard is about to turn white."

"Only children who love to cry can drink milk." Chen Chong lifted the lid of the white porcelain teacup and said lightly: "What's the use of Bai's beard? Manager Zhang should go to the Ministry of Culture to cry every day, and his eyes were red when he cried. Maybe he could ask for some policy."

"You are so arrogant, the policy is not caused by crying." Chen Bo shook his head, and he said helplessly: "What do you think you should do? This movie is designated by the superiors, so you can't always drag it on, it's not good for everyone.

"It's very simple. Either give me 1 million yuan or let me share it from the box office."

"You are really stinky and hard." Chen Bo took a sip of the cigarette, then put out the cigarette butts and said, "I've said it several times. We are still studying the policy of movie box office sharing. If the policy is not done well, you will not work even if you cry out. Besides, you want to share the achievements? How to count the box office, what proportion of the share, how to calculate the finance, Hong Kong is only one city with 5 million people, how many cities in China, and how many populations there are, have you ever thought about it? It's very troublesome, be patient."

"I don't expect the national box office share." Chen Chong blew away the tea leaves, took a sip, and then said, "Otherwise, I don't want 100,000 yuan. You ask Manager Zhang to go to China Film Company and cry out on the map. Whether it is Beijing, Shanghai, or Guangzhou and Shenzhen, the box office of that city, he and I are 55... No, four and six points, I four and six."

"Damn it, do you think it's a kid playing house?"

"Didn't the boss say that he is touching the stones across the river?" Chen Chong said with a smile: "The country has specially opened a special stone for Shenzhen丨Singapore economics, so the Film Bureau can't find a city to touch the stone for screening?"

"I knew you came to me specifically today, not just for your film festival." Chen Bo said after a while, "It's useless to be stingy on the box office sharing. Mainland cinemas are not perfect in terms of infrastructure or management. Most movies are screened for free and do not have the conditions for sharing. Even if you are asked to share, you won't get much money in the end."

"If you can't get a score now, it doesn't mean you can't get a score in the future. I'm young and can afford to wait." Chen Chong strongly advocated: "There are many benefits to the box office sharing, which can not only mobilize the production enthusiasm of studios, but also enable them to urge the projection companies to improve their management level. They kill two birds with one stone, why not do it?"

"It's light," Chen Bo vetoed it, saying: "Movie workers must have social responsibilities, guide the audience's interest in watching movies, cultivate their healthy and positive aesthetics, rather than blindly cater to the tastes of the masses. If there will be problems, your style will not work in China."

Once the ideology comes out, even a wealth of wealth cannot be stopped...

Chen Chong retreated, and he picked up the teacup again, took a sip, and talked about the serious matter: "Director Chen, has the list I submitted approved by the Ministry of Culture?"

"I've approved it." Chen Bo picked up a document printed with the Ministry of Culture's head from the desk and said: "We have delegated power. The film crew members' trip to Hong Kong will be arranged by the studios themselves, so the Film Bureau will no longer ask about it. As for the judges and guest lists, except for a few who are not suitable for travel, the rest have also been approved."

Chen Chong walked over to get the file, browsed it for a while, and asked, "What's wrong with Mr. Zhao Dan?"

"He is sick and cancer." Chen Bo said in a low tone: "It's already late, but everyone hides it, and he doesn't know it yet."

Chen Chong was shocked and asked hurriedly: "Is it confirmed?"

"It's confirmed, the best hospital in Beijing made the diagnosis." Chen Bo sighed and said, "The Beijing Film Studio filmed "The River Flowing" two years ago. I wanted to ask him to play Premier Zhou. After the makeup was set, it was exactly the same as the Prime Minister himself. Everyone was very satisfied. Unexpectedly, there were some rumors later that he was too famous. If he played Premier Zhou, the audience would only recognize Zhao Dan and not the Prime Minister. You also know the situation at that time, it was very complicated, so the crew replaced him. Minister Huang Zhen also comforted him and said that he couldn't act this time and he would act again next time. I didn't expect that, I didn't expect that there would be no next time..."

"Then how is his physical condition now?"

"It's okay, you can eat and sleep, but you can't tell that you are a patient on the outside." Chen Bo said with a lonely expression: "But the doctor said it's only a few months, so we didn't approve him to go to Hong Kong."

The sun is so sad that the sky will not meet people's wishes. Birth, old age, sickness and death cannot be saved by human means.

"But speaking of this list, you know that you want to have a movie award, but you don't know that you think you want to hold a National Filmmaker Congress in Hong Kong." Chen Bo was a person who has experienced the ups and downs. He quickly put aside his emotions and said: "I almost drew all the well-known domestic film workers in one place, with more than 40 people. Fortunately, the organizing committee is responsible for food, accommodation and travel expenses. Otherwise, even if these people are approved, they may not be able to go. Not everyone is as rich as you. In Hong Kong, food, drink, defecation and urination are all money."

"I'm young, and young people like to show off." Chen Chong held the list and said with a smile: "I wish I could invite all the film workers in the country, but Hong Kong is too small to hold so many people, which is a pity."

"Then you show off a few more times." Chen Bo also smiled and said, "The more you show off, the better. Filmmakers really need to go out and see more and learn from film experiences and skills from countries around the world to create better works.

"Director Chen Gao Jian." Chen Chong flattered and said: "Hong Kong has a special economic status. I hold a film award, one to commend the hard work of film workers, and the other to use the title of film awards to allow filmmakers from the mainland and Taiwan to communicate with each other. They are all compatriots of blood. It is always a good thing to have a channel for communication."

"You are right. Hong Kong is very suitable for united front work." Chen Bo held a cigarette and tapped on the table, saying, "Do it well, we will strongly support it."

Chen Chong was speechless about the cross-strait relations at this time and didn't know what to say, so he could only tease with a funny smile: "How to support me? Or give me some allowance?"

"Don't be too tempted." Chen Bo picked up the match and said with a smile: "Officials, you probably don't want money either. We don't have money. We only have people. You can give as much as you want. Take your list as you have more than 40 people on it, scattered all over the world. Do you think it's easy to summon it and send it to Hong Kong?"

Chen Chong laughed twice, folded the documents, stuffed them into his pocket, and after chatting for a few words, he asked: "Director Chen, I heard that "Popular Movie" is planning to resume holding the Hundred Flowers Award?"

"Yes." Chen Bo said: "Even you have a movie award in Hong Kong, there can be nothing in China. The Hundred Flowers Award was held by Premier Zhou in 2019. Since the publication of "Popular Movie" has been re-issued, the Hundred Flowers Award will naturally be restored. But you don't have to worry, your Golden Star Award was presented in early April, and the Hundred Flowers Award is preparing to be presented in May, and it will not steal your limelight."

"I'm not worried at all, I'm not boasting." Chen Chong smiled proudly and said, "Even in another thirty years, the Hundred Flowers Awards will not even be able to steal the limelight from the Golden Star Awards."
