explain.

"King of Children" won the award. According to Chen Kaige's idea, he would enjoy flowers and applause for a few more days. But when his eyes fell on the wad of banknotes, this idea was immediately thrown out of his mind.

Flowers and applause can be enjoyed later, he just wants to make movies now. All for art!

The news that "The King of Children" won the award at the West Berlin Film Festival was reported by many domestic media and has been in the spotlight for more than a week. But no matter how hot the news is, it will eventually pass.

Entering March, the news about "Kids King" has disappeared from the newspapers. The hottest news is that Ma Shengli announced to the society that he will establish the "China Ma Shengli Paper Enterprise Group".

Who is the winner of the horse?

He was originally the business section chief of the Shijiazhuang paper mill. In 1984, the factory was in trouble and unsustainable. Ma Shengli boldly proposed to contract the paper mill, promising to hand over 700,000 yuan in profits by the end of the year and double the workers' wages.

This bold move immediately caused a sensation in Shijiazhuang, and Ma Shengli truly fulfilled his promise after contracting the Shijiazhuang paper mill. At this time, Ma Shengli naturally became a great person, and the media rushed to report on him, making him famous.

Big increase.

In order to resolve the operating difficulties of state-owned factories, various localities extended an olive branch to him and invited Ma Shengli to contract for local state-owned factories that were losing money. In less than three years, Ma Shengli contracted dozens of state-owned paper mills.

He was hailed as a "reform model" by various media. Even the People's Daily and New H News Agency launched special reports on him. He was already the second "Bu Xinsheng". During this period, Ma Shengli suddenly announced that he would

Founded "China Ma Shengli Paper Enterprise Group" and successively contracted 100 paper enterprises in 20 provinces and cities across the country.

This initiative was reported by media from all over the country and almost became the most explosive company launch since the beginning of 1987. Many media praised this as an exciting and great idea that showed the grandeur of a new generation of reformers. That night, Tao Yushu

I was reading the newspaper and discussing Ma Shengli's "Ma family myth" with Lin Chaoyang.

What she was looking at was the so-called "super high work efficiency" of Ma Shengli recorded by a reporter from XinH News Agency. In the eyes of a person who runs a company like her, it was simply unbelievable. He would contract a factory just for a meeting, and he would dare to talk to leading cadres after just a few words.

It promised to reverse the losses that year and turn over hundreds of thousands of dollars in profits the following year.

This is not a business operation, it is clearly the genius of Ma Liang.

"If this is used to write a novel, it will definitely be a good material. Chaoyang, what do you think?" Lin Chaoyang said with a smile: "Not very good."

"Why?"

"Novel must also emphasize logic, but reality often has no logic. If I write this kind of plot into a novel, readers will probably scold me." After listening to his words, Tao Yushu thought about it and felt that there is some truth in it. Sometimes reality is simply

More absurd than a novel.

"Then do you have any ideas recently?" Tao Yushu asked. "Yes."

Hearing what he said, Tao Yushu's eyes immediately brightened up and asked, "Tell me quickly."

What Lin Chaoyang had in mind was just a casual response when Tao Yushu asked.

Seeing Tao Yushu's questioning, he hesitated and said: "The idea is not yet mature now. I will have to check the information later and learn more about it."

Tao Yushu became even more interested when he heard this. Lin Chaoyang needed to look up information recently. Caifeng's novel was still a work with a strong epic temperament like "Crossing Guandong".

She kept asking questions, but Lin Chaoyang couldn't answer, so he could only change the subject and ask: "It's the first time Yimou is directing a movie. Can you rest assured if you let him be alone in Shandong?" "Yimou is a steady and steady person.

It's my duty to avoid any trouble. A trip to Shandong will take at least a week, and there are still a lot of things going on over there in Xiangjiang.

After Xiao Yu comes to Yanjing, I will leave these matters to her for the time being."

After returning to Yanjing years ago, Tao Yushu, except for a brief return to Xiangjiang for a few days in early February, has been conducting remote control from outside. These days, communication is not as convenient as in later generations, and communication is often not very timely.

Wang Jing's "The Best Friend" had just been filmed when Tao Yushu returned to Hong Kong last time, but the distribution and release has not been decided because Tao Yushu was not in Hong Kong. Zhang Wanting's "Autumn Fairy Tale" has been filmed and is in post-production

, Johnnie To's "A Lang's Story" will also start filming later this year.

According to Tao Yushu's idea, Lin's Pictures should ensure that its works are released in the film market continuously throughout the year, so she has to go back to study new film plans this month. She decided to return to Hong Kong next week, and during this period, Lin's Pictures will also

Established an office in the Mainland.

With the success of "The King of Children", Tao Yushu has high hopes for the filming of "Red Sorghum". She understands that it is very difficult for mainland directors to succeed in commercial films with their current market acumen.

Then we might as well just dig deeper into the art film industry. Since we are going to delve deeper into it, it is only natural to set up an office.

The mainland has not yet opened up private individuals to enter the film production and distribution fields, so she can only set up an office to coordinate film investment in the mainland.

It happened that she went to West Berlin last month. She had communicated with Yu Yuxi, a junior member of China Film Group, and expressed her intention to recruit her. She offered her a monthly salary of 5,000 Hong Kong dollars and bonuses. Yu Yuxi was very excited at the time, but

She didn't know why but was hesitant. It wasn't until after the film festival that she agreed to Tao Yushu.

Tao Yushu didn't understand it at first, but he figured it out later.

It is estimated that Yu Yuxi is not very familiar with the strength of Lin's Pictures, and is afraid that this job will not last long.

After staying at the film festival for ten days, Yu Yuxi had found out almost everything she needed to know. In addition, "Kids King" won the award and Lin's Pictures' overseas copyright deals were booming, so she had no worries.

Before returning to China, Tao Yushu and Yu Yuxi agreed that she would first go back to Shanghai to visit relatives, and then come to Yanjing to officially start work.

"She is the only one, and the manpower is too small, right? Aren't you afraid that people will think that the company is a grassroots team and run away halfway?" Lin Chaoyang asked. "Kids King" has entered the copyright operation stage, and Lin's Pictures now only has "Kids" in the mainland.

"Red Sorghum" is a film currently in production.

Tao Yushu's idea was to let Yu Yuxi be in charge of the production of "Red Sorghum" and also take care of the film festival. She alone would be enough for the time being. Seeing what Lin Chaoyang said, she asked: "Then what do you think?"

?”

"You can call big brother to help."

"He?" Tao Yushu immediately wanted to reject the proposal.

Lin Chaoyang saw through her thoughts and said: "Although the eldest brother does not want to make progress and is content with the status quo, don't you find that he has an advantage?" "What advantage?"

"Eating and drinking is a good thing."

Listening to these words, Tao Yushu really didn't know whether Lin Chaoyang was praising or disparaging his eldest brother. Lin Chaoyang said: "Don't look at me like that. I'm just praising your eldest brother." Is there such a compliment?

Tao Yushu's eyes revealed this meaning.

Lin Chaoyang continued: "Xiao Yu is smart and capable, and can be responsible for handling things. Big brother is understanding and kind, and can be responsible for winning over people's hearts. And if Xiao Yu is left alone in Yanjing and everything is left to her, are you so relieved?"

At the end of the conversation, Tao Yushu was successfully persuaded by Lin Chaoyang. I'm afraid his last sentence was the key point. Being in control is sometimes a skill, and Tao Yushu felt that he had learned another trick from her husband.

After thinking about it, she readily agreed with Lin Chaoyang's idea. Then she asked: "Where does eldest brother work..."

"It's a part-time job. Anyway, he spends three days fishing and two days drying nets at work."

Tao Yushu couldn't help but chuckle, "I should really learn this from my brother." Two days later, Yu Yuxi finally returned to Yanjing.

But what surprised Lin Chaoyang and his wife was that Yu Yuxi also brought a guest this time. "Lao Xie? Why are you here?" Lin Chaoyang's voice was full of surprise.

Xie Jin was dusty and tired, "Don't mention it, I'll put my luggage first and we'll talk about it later."

Tao Yushu had previously arranged two rooms in the east wing of the west courtyard of Xiaoliubukou Hutong to serve as the reception office for Lin's Pictures in Yanjing. Now that Xie Jin came, Tao Yushu arranged for him to move to the wing of the west courtyard.

Then Lin Chaoyang personally cooked a table of dishes to welcome the arrival of Yu Yuxi and Xie Jin.

In the past, Lin Chaoyang and his wife called Yu Yuxi "Xiaoyu" in private, which was just a popular way of calling her. In fact, she is not young. She is already in her early forties this year.

She used to work at China Film Import and Export, and she also has the status of being the full-fledged film selector for the West Berlin Film Festival in mainland China, with the kind of official authorization from the film festival. This is why Tao Yushu is willing to offer her a high salary of 5,000 Hong Kong dollars and

The reason for the bonus.

Yu Yuxi has a generous and cheerful personality. During the meal, she tasted a few of Lin Chaoyang's dishes and couldn't help but praise: "Director Xie always praises your cooking. Your craftsmanship is really good." She is from Shanghai and is a professional in life.

I spent the first 20 years in Shanghai, and came to Yanjing only after joining the China Film Academy.

In the past six or seven years, because of the selection of films for the West Berlin Film Festival, I have become very close to the Shanghai Film Studio. I am very familiar with Xu Sangchu, Wu Yigong, Xie Xin and other old comrades in the Shanghai film circle.

"Lao Xie, tell me why you came to Yanjing?" Lin Chaoyang asked.

Xie Jin sighed, "Oh, don't mention it, it's not about "Furong Town"." Xie Jin looked sad when he talked about this.

As early as the eve of the Spring Festival, Xie Xin's new film "Furong Town" began to be previewed in Shanghai and Yanjing. As the scope of test screenings expanded, the controversy surrounding "Furong Town" became louder and louder.

Many people believed that this film was discrediting socialism and advocated banning it. In order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, Xie Jin had to urgently process several scenes in the film.

But even so, the film bureau only reluctantly agreed to release the film.

However, the premiere of "Furong Town" was held in Shanghai a few days ago, and the film's male and female leads, Jiang Wen and Liu Xiaoqing, were not present. When Xie Jin inquired, it turned out that they had been stopped by the Film Bureau.

Not only that, Xie Jin also heard that the film bureau did not allow "Furong Town" to participate in foreign film festivals.

Putting these two things together, Xie Jin was naturally angry. He packed his luggage and came to Yanjing to argue with the Film Bureau. "Even if the lawsuit is brought to the Ministry, I will argue with them.

Xie Jin drank a glass of wine and said angrily.

Lin Chaoyang didn't show any signs of sharing the same hatred with the enemy. Instead, he had a relaxed expression and said with a hint of ridicule: "Don't blame the comrades of the film bureau, who made you a habitual offender!" When Xie Jin heard this, he looked very unhappy.

But what Lin Chaoyang said is right. From "Legend of Tianyun Mountain" to "Wrangler" to "Furong Town", Xie Jin's "**narrative" has never stopped. For many people, his films are a thorn in the side.

, a thorn in the flesh.

Seeing Lin Chaoyang gloating about his misfortune, Xie Jin first stared at him angrily, and then turned his attention to Lin Chaoyang. Seeing Xie Jin's eyes, Lin Chaoyang had an inexplicable premonition.

"you..."

Before he could speak, Xie Jin spoke first, "Don't talk yet."

Then Xie Jin asked again: "I heard that you have been very close to Shi Fangyu recently?" "No, who did you listen to?" Lin Chaoyang denied it.

"You're still pretending to be stupid with me, do you think I don't know?" Xie Jin exposed his lie at once, with contempt in his eyes. Lin Chaoyang's expression was stern, "I've just met him twice, but I'm not familiar with him."

"I don't know him well, why don't you give him some results? Come with me tomorrow." Lin Chaoyang said reluctantly: "This is all your Shanghai Film Studio's business."

"You can't bear to have an old man like me go head-to-head with those officials? Besides, you are the screenwriter of "Furong Town"!" Lin Chaoyang immediately defended: "Don't talk nonsense, I don't have a signature."

"It doesn't matter whether you sign or not. If you don't go, I will tell them that you wrote all those over-the-top dramas!" Lin Chaoyang suddenly felt a toothache.
