After Yuan Tianfan left, Chen Chong looked at the time and realized that the meeting had been on for nearly two hours without realizing it. He held his forehead and asked, "What is the following one?"

"It's about the Hong Kong Film and Culture Center." Gu Liwei rolled up the Hong Kong map on the conference table and said: "The meeting time is 3:30. Chairman Shu Qi should be waiting in the lounge. I'll take him here."

"No, I'll go in person." Chen Chong stood up and said, "Shu Qi is my old friend. He brought me into the movie circle back then. He would talk in my office later. Meetings here are too official, cold and uninviting."

The past year is definitely not a good time for Shu Qi.

He was the first famous Hong Kong filmmaker Chen Chong met, and he also made Chen Chong meet Hong Kong filmmakers. The two had a lot of fun at the time and had a close relationship. However, after Shen Chong acquired "Movie Biweekly", he resigned from his position as editor-in-chief and worked as a full-time screenwriter in Jiahe, helping Yan Hao film "Night Car". A year later, this choice was proved to be very wrong...

After the half-dead "Movie Biweekly" was re-edited into "Movie Age", it immediately soared, with sales rising steadily and extremely prosperous. It opened branches in Taiwan and the mainland, with sales reaching 500,000 copies, becoming a veritable authoritative film publication in Hong Kong. Luo Weiming, who replaced him as editor-in-chief, also became a popular media celebrity in Hong Kong. The ordinary editors who stayed in the acquisition now have salary far exceeding their Hong Kong counterparts and live a comfortable life.

Especially what embarrassed him was the situation of his friend Chen Baisheng. Chen Baisheng was just an editor-in-chief of "Movie Biweekly", but now he is the dual chairman of the Organizing Committee of the Academy Awards and the Hong Kong International Film Festival Organizing Committee. Not to mention his high position and power, he was at least good at both sides of the Taiwan Strait and the Three Places. It is said that after the Academy Awards Ceremony, Chen Chong directly sent him a big red envelope of 500,000, which was a success.

In the past year, Shu Qi has made no achievements except writing the script of "Night Car". "Night Car" was released in January this year. Even though Yan Hao was used to promote the sign of "The God of Shen Cai selected new directors' works", the box office was only 3 million. This result was pretty good in 1979, but the film market in 19RU was very popular. As of May, there were more than ten movies with a box office of over 5 million, and more than 3 million were not outstanding.

He couldn't make a hit in his debut work, so he had to stay in Jiahe, and live a boring life with a meager reward.

Compared with others, it is so annoying that Shu Qi's original choice naturally attracted a lot of sarcasm. Some said that he was above the top, some said that he was ignorant of politeness, and the rumors made him silent more and more. He didn't even write his special film reviews, and even gave up on movies and immigrated overseas.

Shu Qi has achieved great success in film theory research and teaching organization, and is a rare talent. Chen Chong naturally could not let him go to foreign countries. After hearing the news, he immediately invited him to come out again and serve as the chairman of the Hong Kong Film and Culture Center. After several troubles, he was also given up this position.

"Water." Chen Chong led Shu Qi into his office and asked, "What are you drinking? Black tea or coffee?"

"No, I just drank it in the lounge." After sitting down, Shu Qi adjusted her sitting posture and said, "Mr. Chen, let me introduce the operation of the Film Culture Center in the past two months."

Seeing him like this, Chen Chong couldn't say anything, and smiled and said, "Okay, let's talk about it first. Although the Film and Culture Center is downstairs and I'll pass by every day when I go to work, I haven't been there a few times."

"I won't talk about the hardware. You are all arranged by Mr. Chen. I will talk about the teachers and students." Shu Qi spread out the folder and said: "There are now 9 full-time tutors in the Film Culture Center, three of whom are responsible for performances, the famous director and screenwriter, the famous professors' knowledge of photography and editing, and the famous professors' history of world film. In addition, we have also hired some well-known filmmakers as part-time tutors, such as Zhang Che, Hu Jinquan, Xu Anhua and others, who have all come to give lectures..."

"…As for students, in addition to TVH and Li's TV artists, we also used a lottery to select some people from the reader group of "Movie Age" and "First Movie Review" to collect feedback information, and prepare for the official start of classes in the second half of the year."

"…Hong Kong does not have professional and systematic film textbooks yet, so I plan to ask someone to translate some overseas classic textbooks. At the same time, I am also planning to organize some Hong Kong filmmakers to compile a textbook that meets the actual situation of Hong Kong films..."

"... Regarding the number of students enrolled in the second half of the year, we initially set it to 30, plus 10 students sent from the mainland, a total of 40 students. This number can not only make full use of the existing hardware facilities, but also retain a certain degree of flexibility. This is the first time we are conducting systematic teaching. With a smaller number of people, teachers and students can fully interact and accumulate experience."

Shu Qi obviously felt a little angry, and did things very carefully, taking into account all aspects. After an introduction, she talked for half an hour.

"It's pretty good, very well prepared." Chen Chong praised, then took the document, browsed it according to the entry, and said: "About experimental movie teaching, you can do more. After all, movies need to be shot by hand. It's not reliable to just talk. By the time school starts in the second half of the year, Jiayi TV's movie channel has already started broadcasting, and excellent experimental movies can be broadcasted."

"Also, students in the second half of the year should not be limited to their age and occupation. Anyone can sign up, even if they are old actors who already work in the film industry." Chen Chong took a pen to remove the registration restrictions and said: "Anyway, it is experimental teaching. The more diverse the types of students, the better. Even if they are in their seventies and eighties, as long as they can still walk and are interested in movies, they can consider it."

Shu Qi nodded silently.

"uu" Chen Chong handed back the document to him and said, "Although the name of the Film Culture Center is inappropriate, it has great significance. I plan to upgrade it to a formal film academy after the time is ripe, and then build it into a world-class film holy land of the USC Film Academy. You will be the first dean of this college and the task is not light."

After saying that, Chen Chong smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "I have been dealing with mainland bureaucrats recently. Before I knew it, my tone and content of my speech were exactly the same as theirs."

Shu Qi also smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Chen, I won't let you down."
