Rebirth of the courtyard, the start is 80s

Chapter 382 If there is no road, I will build a road myself
Director Li said lightly that he was guaranteed to meet the quota of a film studio, which made outsiders listen to it and definitely think he was bragging and talking about the mountains.

But in fact, he is really not bragging, he really has confidence.

Because for Director Li, it is just to set up a film studio. Although it is difficult, it is not necessarily a difficult task.

The main problem here is the word "root and foot"!
Hongguang Machinery Factory is an enterprise directly under the Ministry of Metallurgy. Its roots are different from other ordinary state-owned enterprises. If you want to compare it, it is similar to the central enterprises of later generations.

Of course, the state-owned enterprises of later generations are all really big and powerful enterprises, which are still different from the enterprises directly under the ministries and commissions in this period.

During this period, the enterprises directly under the ministries and commissions were not necessarily better than the state-owned enterprises affiliated to ordinary local governments. The reasons for this are very complicated, so I won’t go into details.

In any case, Hongguang Machinery Factory is an enterprise directly under the Ministry of Metallurgy, and the relationship between the Ministry of Metallurgy and the Ministry of Culture in this period is actually quite good, which can be seen from the good friendship between Uncle Xu and Uncle Wang.

Or it can be said that, whether it is Secretary Dong of Hongguang Machinery Factory or Director Li, these people can actually be regarded as the disciples of Uncle Xu, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they belong to the Xu family.

And Uncle Xu and Uncle Wang, the top leader of Xuan Zitou, are close friends, so it is normal for the people from the Ministry of Metallurgy to have a good relationship with the people from the Ministry of Culture.

Otherwise, how could it be so easy to grant Hongguang Machinery Factory a publishing house license?
Do you really think that publishing houses in this period are so easy to approve?
There is also Huaxia Audiovisual Company, if there is no friendship from the cultural department, who would approve it so easily?

Therefore, it may be difficult for others to ask for the license of the film studio, but if Director Li asks Secretary Dong and uses Cao Zhiqiang as an excuse, then it may not be difficult.

In fact, Director Li did not tell Cao Zhiqiang some things, and that was his name, Cao Zhiqiang. In fact, he had already registered with the cultural department, and he was a person of more concern.

There is no other reason, because when Cao Zhiqiang established the publishing house, Uncle Wang personally gave the order.

Generally, to set up a publishing house, there is no need for a big Buddha like Uncle Wang to come forward at all. Once such a big Buddha shows up, the people below will automatically remember every name said by the big Buddha.

So, although Cao Zhiqiang may not be aware of it yet, in fact, the real caring people already know who is behind Cao Zhiqiang.

Why did Director Liu, who belongs to the Art Bureau of the Ministry of Culture, ask Cao Zhiqiang for help?
Really thought he was just giving Xu Qingdong face and helping Xu Qingdong?
In fact, the real purpose of the family is to make friends with Cao Zhiqiang through this.

Friendship is such a thing, you have to walk more and owe more favors.

Walk around more, owe more favors, and have more favors, and friendship will naturally arise.

As a Beijing official, Director Liu naturally understands these principles.

It's just that those who can really know that Cao Zhiqiang is related to Uncle Wang and Uncle Xu are, after all, a minority.

For example, Yu Deshui, Yu Yuanyuan's father, although he has a good relationship with Cao Zhiqiang, he doesn't know who is behind Cao Zhiqiang.

The reason why Director Liu was able to know this was also a coincidence.

After all, he himself is the leader of the Ministry of Culture, so it's quite normal for him to know something inside by chance.

In short, other directors may not be able to make a film studio, but Director Li is [-]% sure.

It's a pity that Cao Zhiqiang didn't know these details and the inside story, so he was actually deeply suspicious of Director Li's words, thinking that the other party was bragging, or perfunctory himself.

You know, originally Cao Zhiqiang asked Factory Director Li to talk about his plan to set up a film studio, but it was just to let Factory Director Li have a mental preparation, but he never thought that he would be able to do it.

After all, in Cao Zhiqiang's view, the number of seats in a film studio is much more difficult than that of a publishing house. A director of a state-owned enterprise may not be that capable.

So Cao Zhiqiang's real goal is his real thigh, which is Uncle Xu.

He planned to ask Uncle Xu for help like he did when he opened his own publishing house.

As long as Uncle Xu is willing to help, then this matter can probably be settled
Even though Uncle Xu has retired to the second line now, his connections and prestige are still there.

We have our own national conditions here. In many cases, positions do not determine everything, and talents are the most important.

"General!"

Cao Zhi forcefully knocked off a horse.

"Fuck you, Mr. Xu, you lost!"

"Nonsense!" Uncle Xu's eyes widened, "It's still early!"

After finishing speaking, Uncle Xu moved his future a step aside, avoiding Cao Zhiqiang's crap.

"Death struggle!" Cao Zhiqiang shook his head, "Get out of the car! General again!"

After moving his car sideways, Cao Zhiqiang looked at Uncle Xu and said, "Master Xu, don't hold on!"

"Hmph!" Uncle Xu leaned his taxi up to block between Cao Zhiqiang's car and his general.

Cao Zhiqiang sighed: "Why bother, why bother?"

After finishing speaking, Cao Zhiqiang shook his head.

That's right, Uncle Xu is really dying at this time.

Because even if the opponent got into the taxi and stopped between his own car and the opponent's general, he only needed to use his own car to eat the opponent's taxi stopped in the middle, and he could still continue to lead.

And when the time comes, unless Uncle Xu takes two steps in a row, it will be a lore.

In fact, as early as when Cao Zhiqiang was lying, the winner should have been decided, and there was no need to take the last two steps.

But Uncle Xu still insisted on leaving, and would not admit defeat until the last step.

Although Cao Zhiqiang really admired this uncle's courage to refuse to admit defeat, it was really unnecessary.

In addition, Cao Zhiqiang understood, who said the old man is good at chess?

Obviously not as good as young people.

Cao Zhiqiang didn't have the chess-playing skills given by the system, and he didn't study chess carefully in his previous life. He just joined the school's chess club when he was in elementary school and junior high school.

Just like this, he can kill Uncle Xu more than he loses.

It can be seen from this that although Uncle Xu is a great official, his level of chess is just that.

No wonder he can't even play chess.

It is estimated that he could win the chess game before, it was purely because others let him.

But once he meets people like himself and Sha Zhu who are unwilling to give up the game, his true level will be exposed.

Of course, my own level is also the same, so I can kill you with the other party.

If one's own chess skill is far higher than that of the opponent, then there is no need to play.

In addition, in fact, Uncle Xu has retired to the second line now, and has a lot of time to study chess, so his progress is also obvious.

Just like now, Cao Zhiqiang can no longer easily win chess. He only wins three games after playing five games. This is still a situation of not letting go.

"Uncle Xu." Cao Zhiqiang did not take his own car and eat the other party's taxi, but raised his head and smiled, "How about you promise me a small request, and I will let you go?"

"Hmph!" Uncle Xu pouted, raised his head and looked at Cao Zhiqiang, "I knew you kid would have nothing good to do with me, if you can hold back until now, you can count on your composure."

"Hahaha." Cao Zhiqiang shook his head with a smile, "That's not true, I wanted to say it at first, but you are indeed getting better and better at chess, I have to concentrate, keep playing, and then forget.

Now that I have the advantage, I just remembered the business. "

"Hmph!" Uncle Xu continued to look down at the chess, "Play chess as you want, don't let me trade other things."

"Why don't you listen to my request first?"

"Do not listen!"

"I want to open a film studio."

"No...huh?"

Uncle Xu was taken aback for a moment, then raised his head suddenly, frowned and looked at the smiling Cao Zhiqiang: "Film Studio?"

"Yes, the film studio." Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "To be precise, it is the film studio.

I'm going to ask you to do me a favor, let me, no, let our Hongguang Machinery Factory start a state-owned film studio. "

Uncle Xu frowned and said, "Didn't you already have a publishing house and an audio-visual company? I heard that you are still working on convenience kiosks recently?

You haven't figured out so many projects yet, and you want to start a film studio?

Xiao Cao, I'm not talking about you. It's good to be aggressive, but you can't chew through too much greed.

It is still necessary to take one step at a time, and do what is at hand first, so don't aim too high! "

Cao Zhiqiang nodded: "Your words are correct, but there is another saying that those who can do more work."

After a short pause, Cao Zhiqiang said again: "With the release of my book "Journey to the Rivers and Lakes", the publishing house has now been reorganized in terms of funds and staff, and is completely on the right track. It only needs to follow the steps, and it can operate normally without me.

I just need to ask about the publishing house from time to time, hold a meeting to go through the motions, write some articles occasionally, or occasionally write a book and publish it.

The convenience kiosk project doesn't need me anymore. This project is mainly about policy and funding issues. I have already solved these two issues. The rest of the specific implementation only needs to be watched by the factory director, and I don't need it.

So, my main energy now is on making records. "

"Ah, I know that." Uncle Xu chuckled, "Your song called Red Flag Fluttering is very nice and appealing. Of course, the song you sang to me before is also very good. It seems that you Sure enough, he is very talented in poetry and poetry, hehehe."

"Where." Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly, "Poetry can indeed touch people's hearts, but what touches people's hearts even more is the picture.

So, I just collaborated with CCTV on a program called Advertisement, have you heard of it? "

"Of course." Uncle Xu smiled slightly.

"Your widely advertised column is good.

The first program, I remember it was your short video about the fluttering red flag, it was well shot, especially it complemented your singing voice, it was very inspiring.

Although the following programs are mostly short films such as skits, they are all public welfare projects.

For example, let everyone not litter, respect the old and love the young, etc., are also very good movies. "

"That's right." Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile, "Uncle Xu, simple poetry can only touch some literary youths, but it has little effect on the general public.

The power of popular songs is greater, but it is still lacking in the end.

But things like TV and movies with pictures and sounds are more resonant, better known to the public, and subtly change their behavior and thinking.

This is the power of the media.

Singing is good but acting is good. I am not bad at singing, but I also want to make achievements in film, and I don’t want to be subject to too many constraints, so I want to set up a film studio by myself and raise funds to make films.

Don't worry, I only need a seat and signboard of a film studio.

After the film studio is established, I don't want a penny from the government.

All expenses in the film studio are contracted by me.

Of course, I will also strictly abide by the domestic regulations and make films that comply with the regulations, and I will never engage in shoddy production.

Furthermore, the Hongguang Machinery Factory where I work originally had an art troupe, and many of the people in it are not operating now.

Once I rely on our factory's art troupe as the basis, I will pay some more money to set up the film studio, and these art workers will have a place to play again.

Time shifts the world.

This year is the era of film and television.

If we don't keep up with the trend, those Beijing operas, dance dramas, and allegro are probably going to be lost.

Although the art troupe in our factory is not very famous, that factory is the place where I was born and raised. My parents are both from the factory, so I have feelings for it.

Therefore, since I have the ability now, I want to start from my side first, starting from changing the machinery factory.

Once the members of the art troupe are assigned to the newly established film studio, the machinery factory will also be able to reduce a lot of burdens, don't you think?
What's more, I and you know that if you don't do it, you have to do it, and if you want to do it, do it the best!
When I write a book, it can be sold to thousands of people, and it immediately becomes the best-selling poetry collection and the best-selling book.

When I sing, it can also be used by thousands of people, and it is being sung all over the country.

In the same way, if I set up my own film studio and pay for it myself to make films, how would the quality be worse?

Maybe, I can become a leader in the industry and force other domestic film studios to pay attention to details and quality, and stop shoddy production.

Let me say something inappropriate, our domestic films are lagging far behind foreign countries.

Not to mention foreign countries, even Hong Kong and Taiwan, our movies can't compare.

There are many problems here, and I won’t talk about others, but the majority of film practitioners eat a big pot, have no pressure, only think about plagiarism, and do not pay attention to quality and innovation, which is also a big problem.

Therefore, I want to open, no, I want Hongguang Machinery Factory to open a film studio, and then I will contract to operate it, so I will pay for the funds.

I want everyone to take a look at what kind of changes a contracted film studio can bring.

Uncle Xu, you also hope that I will go one step further and create a new glory again, right? "

Uncle Xu laughed: "Restore the new glory, have you created the old glory?"

"Of course!" Cao Zhiqiang said.

"It's not me bragging, the "Journey to the Rivers and Lakes" I published is currently the best-selling popular book in China, not one of them!

Although my first album only had tens of thousands of copies, it was considered a bestseller.

Moreover, my second music album has been produced and will be launched soon, and it will definitely create another empty-handed situation by then.

I have so many successes before, haven't I ever been brilliant?

And I am not short of money now, I dare not say if there is too much, one or two million is a trivial matter.

I have talent, money and heart, so why can't I make great achievements in movies? "

"Then you can go directly to a film studio to make a movie." Uncle Xu said with a smile, "Why do you want to set up a film studio yourself? Do you know how difficult and troublesome it is to set up a film studio?"

Cao Zhiqiang shook his head: "When I go to other film studios to make films, I have to be controlled by others, and I have already suffered a lot from it."

"Did you suffer from it?" Uncle Xu asked with a smile, "Why did you suffer from it?"

Cao Zhiqiang said: "To be honest, I once wrote a script and planned to find Beijing Film Studio for filming. I even paid 10 yuan to Beijing Film Studio, but Beijing Film Film Company actually said that it can't be filmed for the time being. I have to wait in line. It will be next year at the earliest. to shoot.

How could I wait for this, so I wanted to refund the money, but they said that the earliest time to get the refund would be at the end of the year.

You see, people have the final say on their territory, even if I give money, I have to suffer.

That's why I thought, I might as well set up my own film studio, just like my Hongguang Publishing House.

In this way, I can do what I want without being made things difficult for me.

It is not my style to shrink back, avoid, and endure when encountering difficulties.

Facing difficulties and never giving up is my style.

Lu Xun once said that there is no road in the world, and there will be a road when there are many people walking.

But I want to say, if there is no road, I will build a road myself.

Whether I asked you for a publishing house at the beginning, or for a film studio now, I want to build my own way.

Others don't understand why I give up what is easy and ask for difficulty, but you must understand my painstaking efforts, right? "

Uncle Xu laughed: "Okay, well said, it's interesting, but that's not enough."

Cao Zhiqiang blinked: "Otherwise, the college entrance examination is about to take place. If my college entrance examination results can enter the top ten in the city, you will agree to my request and help me get a seat in a film studio, okay?"

"Top ten in the city in the college entrance examination?" Uncle Xu squinted his eyes with a smile, "You are quite confident, are you sure?"

"No." Cao Zhiqiang shook his head with a smile, "That's why I made this bet with you. If I'm sure, it's not a bet, it's blackmailing you."

"That's it." Uncle Xu smiled, "By the way, what was your score in the previous preliminaries?"

Cao Zhiqiang shrugged his shoulders: "I forgot how many points I got, but I remember that it was ranked No. 20 and sixth in the city's pre-examination."

"Yo, the city's 26th, not bad." Uncle Xu nodded with a smile, "This result is very good, as long as you perform normally, you will be admitted to the university. No wonder you dare to say that you are in the top ten.

But the most difficult thing about exams is to make a success, so the top ten and the top thirty are completely different concepts, you should be clear about this, right? "

"Clear, of course." Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "That's why I want to bet you on this difficult matter."

Immediately afterwards, Cao Zhiqiang said seriously: "Uncle Xu, this is the bet now.

If my college entrance examination results enter the top ten in the city, you will give me a place in a film studio.

If I can't get the top ten in the city in the college entrance examination, then the proposal of the film studio will naturally be invalidated, how about it? "

Uncle Xu touched his chin, and after thinking for a while, he nodded with a smile: "Since you said so, well, I agree, so be it."

"General!"

Cao Zhiqiang suddenly picked up his own car, ate the opponent's taxi, and threatened the opponent's general head-on.

"Uncle Xu, are you out of chess this time?"

"You, you..." Uncle Xu stared at the chessboard dumbfounded, "Didn't you say you would let me go?"

Cao Zhiqiang shrugged: "That was a previous proposal, you didn't agree, so...you won't go back on your word, will you?"

Uncle Xu was stunned for a moment, then pointed at Cao Zhiqiang with a wry smile: "You, you, you are really a slicker, a slicker!"
