Chapter 932 1988

1988.

Liu Yifei is already one year old, and Fan Xiaopang is already seven years old!

There are still two years left before the end of the 1980s.

…………

"Oh, it's been almost 10 years before I know it!"

On the morning of January 1, Chen Qilai was unable to get up in bed, and suddenly recalled the days when he sold a big bowl of tea under the Qianmen Arrow Tower many years ago. He was only 19 years old at that time, and he felt like he was a different life.

At that time, more than a dozen educated youths were now scattered. Of course, Chen Qi was not familiar with everyone, so he worked for a day. Comrade Huang Zhanying was already in charge of a company and was doing a good job. Both of them were busy and they didn't meet many times.

Not to mention Huang Zhanying, he hasn't even been back in the old house in Dashilan for a long time.

Mr. Wang Yang hasn't visited him for a long time.

"This is the price of entering the corpus. Life is like sailing against the current. If you don't enter the corpus, you will retreat..."

"Dingling!"

The phone ringing interrupted his pretentiousness and picked it up to answer it. Jiang Zhiqiang's voice came: "Boss, the guest will arrive in two hours. Do you want to have breakfast first?"

"Send it in!"

After a while, Jiang Zhiqiang personally pushed the dining cart in. Chen Qi was like a high-ranking paraplegic patient, and Pia was having breakfast in bed. Jiang Zhiqiang was not surprised. The boss had a limit of Zhuge Liang and Liu Adu, and the floating was very large.

"A Qiang, how long have you been with me?"

"It's been four years!"

"Four years? So soon, what are your experiences with me?"

Jiang Zhiqiang's heart was thrilled and said, "If you want to say a lot of experience, you will not finish it in a short while. If the biggest gain is that you let me understand the essence of Hollywood."

"Oh? What's the essence?"

"Hollywood is the strongest propaganda machine in the United States, packaging ideology into simple and crude commercial blockbusters and transporting it anywhere outside the socialist camp.

Moreover, Hollywood is very influenced by current social trends, or in other words, it changes according to the policies and social development of the US government."

“…”

Chen Qi looked at him with relief, but it was indeed not in vain. He smiled and said, "I asked you to be an assistant at the time. I wanted you to be in charge of the future left-wing theaters, but your brother is doing well now, so there is no need for this.

You are proficient in foreign affairs and have such an understanding. How about you take the position of general manager of an American company?"

"Boss, what authority do I have?" Jiang Zhiqiang asked calmly.

"We will shoot more and more American films in the future. I can't watch every movie in person. You have to take on this task. At the same time, you have a certain right to operate independently. The tentative quota is US$1.5 million, and you can develop projects below US$1.5 million.

The company's interpersonal relationships in Hollywood are also left to you to maintain. It can be said that in addition to special events, you are my plenipotent representative in the United States."

Jiang Zhiqiang finally couldn't hide his excitement. With the foundation laid before, being the general manager himself was equivalent to a force. He immediately stated: "Boss, I am willing to occupy a good territory for you and continue to expand your territory!"

"Okay! You should also pay more attention to talents and absorb them more. For example, Quentin has good potential and should pay attention to training."

"clear!"

At this point, Oriental's subsidiaries, including Legend Pictures, Gold Records, Publishing Company, Focus Audio and Video, Wang Jing Studio, Oriental Theater, and the one handed over to Jiang Zhiqiang - covering movies, music, comics, videotapes and theaters.

Tsui Hark and Lin Lingdong are under Yindu.

For a moment, the king, sage, ministers and wise men sleep on the same bed.

…………

In the afternoon, guests came to visit.

This person was invited by Chen Qi. His English name is Howard Goldblatt and his Chinese name is: Ge Haowen!

He was nearly 50 years old and happened to be in the Vietnam War when he was young, but he did not go to the battlefield and was sent to Taiwan to be a communications officer. As soon as he arrived in Taipei, he hired a Northeastern man to learn Chinese and found that he was quite talented.

He stayed in Taipei until he was discharged from the army and then went to Taiwan Normal University to study. Later, he returned to China to study for graduate school and doctoral degree, specializing in Chinese classical novels, Yuan Zaju and works by left-wing writers.

In 1974, he wrote a doctoral thesis called "Xiao Hong's Biography". In 1976, he published the first English biography of Xiao Hong, which systematically sorted out her life and creative experience.

Later, he translated works such as "The Legend of Hulan River" and "The Field of Life and Death", making Xiao Hong's literary value known to the English-speaking world.

Today, Ge Haowen is a very famous sinologist and translator in the United States, and is quite authoritative. Later, he gradually translated the works of writers such as Mo Yan, Jia Pingwa, and Yu Hua.

"Hello, Mr. Chen Qi! I've wanted to see you for a long time, but unfortunately I didn't have the chance. I'm busy all day."

"Ha ha!"

Ge Haowen is a very enthusiastic white man, and he speaks Northeastern dialect. Chen Qi said: "Your accent is so authentic!"

"I have changed a lot! I used to think that I spoke standard Mandarin, but later I said that I had a Northeast accent."

"Yes, people in Northeast China generally have this illusion."

The two took their seats, and Chen Qi went straight to the point: "You are the most authoritative sinologist in the United States. Thank you for introducing excellent Chinese literary works to Western readers. I invite you to come because I want to talk about Xiao Hong."

"Oh? What do you want to know?"

"Is Xiao Hong and her works very well-known in the West?"

"How to say it?"

Ge Haowen thought for a while and said, "This is a development process. More and more scholars in the West are knowing and studying Xiao Hong. In countries with their own translations, Xiao Hong has a certain literary status. For example, Japanese scholars like Xiao Hong very much and have been working hard to push her works to the world.

There is also Germany, which published the "Trilogy of Chinese Female Writer Xiao Hong".

In the Soviet Union, many scholars were doing Xiao Hong's research.

I am pushing the United States. Overall, she has gained some popularity, but not high enough.”

"That's how it is..."

Chen Qi nodded and said, "The world doesn't know much about Chinese literature. I think Xiao Hong can become a very good representative. I hope to fund your academic research."

"You, sponsor me?" Ge Haowen was surprised.

"Not only you, but all the experts who do related research can do it. I look forward to Xiao Hong's works being translated into various languages ​​as soon as possible, published and distributed in Europe, so that more people can realize her value."

“…”

Ge Haowen keenly captured a word "as soon as possible" and asked: "How long will this be as soon as possible?"

"How about a year, or a year and a half?"

"It seems that you know the inside story very well!" Ge Haowen smiled.

Chen Qi also smiled.

How can a writer become famous? How can a writer's works become classics? In addition to being of excellent quality, it depends on blowing to a large extent! The wine is fragrant and the alley is deep. No one blows it. How do you know that you are a classic?

When publishing translations from various countries, asking scholars to write papers, holding seminars, and awarding awards, the masters become - Chen Qi is not burying these masters, but just saying that this kind of publicity method is common at home and abroad.

"Then do you accept it?"

"I don't care. I was doing this research. I'm happy if you are willing to fund it. I will help you contact Xiao Hong researchers from various countries."

"Thank you then!"

"But I'm very curious, are you just for the purpose of promoting Chinese writers and Chinese literary works?"

"Of course! Otherwise, why am I doing this?"

Ge Haowen thought about it, otherwise why would he do this?

Chen Qi has agreed, and he is warming up at least one year in advance: In "Yi Shi", Gong Xue's face will be a little chubby, and her makeup will turn into a strange appearance. The character she plays is: Xiao Hong!
