    After Yuan Tianfan left, Shen Chong looked at the time and realized that the meeting had lasted for nearly two hours before he knew it. He held his forehead and asked: "What will be the next one?" "It is the Hong Kong Film Cultural Center.  "Gu Liwei rolled up the map of Hong Kong on the conference table and said, "The scheduled meeting time is three-thirty. Chairman Shu Qi should be waiting in the lounge. I will bring him over." "No, I will go there myself."  Chong stood up and said: "Shu Qi is an old friend of mine. He was the one who brought me into the film industry back then. We started talking in my office for a while. Meetings here are too business-like, cold and impersonal." This past year  Long time is definitely not an easy time for Shu Qi.  He was the first well-known Hong Kong filmmaker that Shen Chong met, and he was also the bridge that introduced Shen Chong to Hong Kong filmmakers. The two talked happily and had a close friendship at first, but after Shen Chong acquired "Film Fortnightly", he  He resigned from his position as editor-in-chief and went to Jiahe to work as a full-time screenwriter, helping Yan Hao film "Night Train". A year later, this choice was proven to be a big mistake  After "Movie Age", it immediately soared, sales continued to rise, and it was extremely prosperous. It opened branches in Taiwan and the Mainland, with sales approaching 500,000 copies, becoming a truly authoritative film publication in Hong Kong. Luo Weiming, who replaced him as chief editor  , has also become a hot media celebrity in Hong Kong. Those ordinary editors who stayed during the acquisition now earn salaries that far exceed those of their Hong Kong counterparts and live comfortably.  What particularly embarrassed him was the situation of his friend Chen Baisheng. Chen Baisheng was only an editor-in-chief of "Film Fortnightly" at first, but now he is the double chairman of the Academy Awards Organizing Committee and the Hong Kong International Film Festival Organizing Committee, not to mention his position.  He has high authority, at least he has everything he can do, and all the filmmakers from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three places look up to him. It is said that after the Academy Awards ceremony, Shen Chong directly sent him a big red envelope of 500,000 yuan. It can be said that he has gained both fame and fortune, and he is living happily.  Water rises.  Shu Qi, on the other hand, has made no achievements in the past year except for writing the script of "Night Train". "Night Train" was released in January this year. Even with the use of Yan Hao, it was promoted as "the work of a new director hand-picked by Shen Caishen".  The box office only took in more than 3 million yuan. This result was not bad in 1979, but the movie market was very hot in 19RU. As of May, there were more than a dozen movies with a box office of more than 5 million yuan, and more than 3 million yuan was not outstanding.  .  His debut novel failed to become an instant hit, so he had to stay in Jiahe, earning a meager salary, and living a boring life. Comparing people to each other was so annoying that Shu Qi's original choice naturally attracted a lot of cynicism, and some said he was conceited.  Some people say that he doesn't know how to praise Yu Ding, and the rumors made him become more and more silent. He no longer even writes good movie reviews, and even thinks of giving up movies and immigrating overseas.  Shu Qi has made great achievements in film theory research and teaching organization. He is a rare talent. Naturally, Shen Chong could not let him go to a foreign country. After hearing the news, he immediately personally invited him to come back and serve as a director of the Hong Kong Film Culture Center.  Chief, and after many struggles, he accepted the position.  "Sit down." Shen Chong led Shu Qi into his office and asked, "What to drink? Black tea or coffee?" "No, I just drank it in the lounge." After Shu Qi sat down, she adjusted her sitting posture.  Said: "Mr. Shen, let me first introduce the operation situation of the Film Cultural Center in the past two months." Seeing him like this, Shen Chong didn't know what to say. He smiled and said: "Okay, you tell me first. Although the Film Cultural Center  It's just downstairs. I pass by it every day when I go to work, but I haven't been there a few times. " "I won't talk about the hardware. Mr. Shen personally arranged the purchase. Let me talk about the teachers and students."  Opening the folder, he said: "The Film Culture Center now has 9 full-time instructors, 3 of whom are responsible for acting, 1 for directing and screenwriting, 1 for photography and editing, and 1 for world film history. In addition,  We have also hired some well-known filmmakers as part-time tutors, such as Zhang Che, Hu Jinquan, Xu Anhua, etc., who have all come to give lectures" "As for the students, in addition to artists from TVH and Li's TV, we also  We used a lottery method to select some people from the readers of "Film Times" and "First Film Review" to take classes, collect feedback information, and prepare for the official start of classes in the second half of the year. " "There is no major in Hong Kong yet.  There are also systematic film textbooks, 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 teaching material that is in line with the actual situation of Hong Kong films" "About the number of enrollment in the second half of the year  , we initially set the number at 30, plus 10 students sent from the mainland, for a total of 40 students. This number can make full use of the existing hardware facilities while retaining a certain degree of flexibility. This is the first time we have engaged in systematic teaching.  , The number of people is smaller, so that teachers and students can fully interact and accumulate experience. "Shu Qi obviously held her breath and did things extremely meticulously, taking into account all aspects. She gave an introduction and talked for half an hour.  ¡°It¡¯s pretty good, very well prepared.¡±??Shen Chong praised, then took the file, browsed according to the items, and said: "We can do more about experimental film teaching. After all, movies have to be shot by hands. Just talking about it will not be reliable. Wait until the semester starts in the second half of the year.  , Jiayi TV¡¯s movie channel has been launched, and excellent experimental films can be broadcast on it. " "Also, for students in the second half of the year, there are no restrictions on age or occupation. Anyone can sign up, even if they are already in the film industry.  Veteran actors working in the industry." Shen Chong took out the registration limit and said, "It's experimental teaching anyway. The more diverse the types of students, the better. Even if they are 70 or 80 years old, as long as they can still walk and are interested in movies.  , you can consider it all." Shu Qi nodded silently.  "uu" Shen Chong handed the document back to him and said: "Although the name of the Film Culture Center is nondescript, it is of great significance. I plan to upgrade it to a formal film school when the time is right, and then build it into an unofficial film school."  The UC Film School is a world-class film sanctuary. You will be the first dean of this school, and your task is not easy.¡± After finishing speaking, Shen Chong smiled self-deprecatingly and said, ¡°I often deal with mainland bureaucrats recently.  Unknowingly, the tone and content of his words were exactly the same as theirs. " Shu Qi also smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Shen, I won't let you down. " " Don't be stressed. It takes ten years to build a tree but a hundred years to build a person.  "So don't worry, don't worry about gains and losses in one or two years. Looking at the long term, all my investments can be expected to benefit, but you can't see anything now." Shen Chong let out a long sigh.  , said: "Within ten years, if the film center can produce a big star or a good director, even if it is successful, no one knows what will happen ten years from now."
