In just over a month, the Screenwriters Association held three general meetings.

The mood is different every time, everyone has ups and downs, and they only feel that life is exciting.

At this moment, Ruan Jiwen was standing on the stage, opposite Boss Kuang of Xiongwei Company! Boss Kuang handed him 8,000 yuan in royalties in front of everyone, apologized solemnly, and then ran away.

The same goes for another small screenwriter who got black money.

They don’t know how Mr. Chen did it. They only know that their grievances have been subsided, they have been protected, and the rules set by the association have been established!

"Thank you Mr. Chen!"

The two thanked them sincerely, and Chen Qi asked them to return to their seats and stood on the stage.

In fact, everyone was very surprised. How could the company get its money back even if it ran away? This is amazing. The shaky association instantly became stable again.

"There are too many crooked ways in Hong Kong's entertainment industry, and human feelings are greater than the law. This is a problem."

Chen Qi looked at everyone and said: "The best thing currently is the Songwriters Association. The Association helps them collect royalties and takes 20% as daily expenses. What is this money used for? For example, if a bar uses a song and refuses to pay, the Association

Take this money to file a lawsuit.

Songs have a wide range of applications and can collect large amounts of royalties, but screenwriters cannot.

If an infringement occurs and a lawsuit is necessary, who will pay the legal fees? In the end, it has to be solved by human nature. This is a difficulty for us, and copyright protection in Hong Kong is not perfect."

Hong Kong only had the Intellectual Property Department in 1990 and the Copyright Law in 1997.

"Some things have happened recently, and I have solved the problems caused by the right wing. I was planning to formulate some rules and regulations, but the association is a scratch one and I don't really believe in the effect.

For example, I said that a script needs to be paid in three stages, but some people are embarrassed to get the job or have a personal relationship, and privately agree with the company to publish the script first and then collect money. This is completely possible!

Regulations are regulations, and effectiveness is effectiveness.

I don’t think you have this consciousness, but now I hope you listen, if we are not united, any regulations will be useless, and industry rules cannot be established.”

"..."

He spoke so bluntly that everyone was embarrassed, and that was indeed the case.

But now he wants the money back, which has the effect of standing up the city gate. Ruan Jiwen shouted first: "Mr. Chen, we must listen! I know you are doing it for our own good!"

"Yes! It's rare for us to have a leader!"

"Just say it."

"Okay! The process will be like this in the future: when a company invites you to submit a manuscript, you first come to the association to register, and then you will be charged in three stages: deposit, outline, and complete script. Don't engage in private giving and receiving. Once you find out, you will be kicked out of the association...

...Wenjun!"

"Mr. Chen!"

"Tell all companies that when they ask our members to write scripts in the future, they will do so according to this!"

"good!"

"..."

Everyone's thoughts are becoming more and more complicated. This is really for the good of the screenwriting industry! Although this association is destined to be under his control, it doesn't matter, others can't even do this step.

Historically, the Hong Kong Screenwriters Guild was just nonsense and of no use.

The Directors Association, the Stuntman Association, the Lighting Art and Photography Association, etc., are all just formal things. Only the Entertainers Association has done something, such as anti-gang parades, combating piracy, disaster relief performances, etc.

Carina Lau also organized a march to protest after her photos were published...

Because the Performing Artists Association is a celebrity, it attracts a lot of attention and can drive media and social topics.

Who cares about you as a screenwriter?

In the same way, those behind-the-scenes personnel associations are basically just decorations.

But Chen Qi believes that these people are very important. They are the foundation of the film and television industry. When the Screenwriters Association gets on the right track, he also wants to gradually establish other associations until all socialist transformations are completed.

By then Hong Kong will be a solid base.

…………

After Sun Wenzhi was imprisoned, he became as well-behaved as a baby.

I was afraid that a video of myself holding a red flag and singing the national anthem would appear in the Information Bureau or even the "Presidential Palace".

Chen Qi's unscrupulous methods made him feel horrified, and he even wondered if one day he would be stripped naked and hung on a street lamp pole for people to watch... Oh, and there would also be a blue sky and white sun flag on his head.

And he thought about it carefully and felt that what the other party said made sense.

I am struggling to fight back against the leftists here. When the ice is broken and the two sides of the Taiwan Strait can communicate with each other, it will be too embarrassing for me! The situation in Taiwan is unclear, why should I devote myself to it?

Eh!

He figured it out and figured it out after a beating.

Chen Qi was not prepared to drive him away. He would have to continue the work if he replaced him with a new person. He would seize Sun Wenzhi's excuse and ask him to cooperate if something happened, which would be more effective.

The situation is changing every year, and the left must also adapt to the central government's thinking and adjust its policy toward Taiwan. From now on, the two sides of the Taiwan Strait will be as close as one family, but those who are not close will have to go through their own hurdles first.

He stayed in Xiangjiang and just kept the door open.

…………

After settling this matter, the crew of "Black Man" set off.

Our navy is divided into the North Sea Fleet, the East China Sea Fleet and the South China Sea Fleet. The North Sea Fleet is stationed in Qingdao, Lushun, Huludao, etc., and is responsible for the defense of the northern half of China's sea territory from Lianyungang in the south to the Yalu River in the north.

The chosen unnamed island was in the Yellow Sea, and the crew lived in Dalian.

Trivia: Dalian is further south than Beijing.

There is maritime trade here, a high degree of openness to the outside world, and state-funded policies. In the late 1980s, its GDP had ranked among the top ten in the country. It was once planned to build a "Northern Hong Kong".

It got even more awesome in the 1990s, with Dalian Wanda, Dalian International Fashion Festival, and Oktoberfest all being famous.

Of course, in 1985, this place was just getting started. Like many open cities along the coast, there was massive construction on one side and low-rise urban areas on the other. The crew received a mayor-level reception and everything was well arranged. They didn’t do anything on the first day.

I shook hands with the leader.

Chen Qi didn't want to see anyone, he just wanted to see Wang Jianlin.

Lao Wang should still be serving as a soldier at this moment, Sicong was not born yet...

"Let me introduce to you that this is Comrade Guo Shu from the army. He is responsible for handling all shooting matters with you."

People from the Bayi Factory were also there, and they summoned an officer in his 40s and saluted: "Comrade Chen Qi! Comrade Tsui Hark! We will cooperate with you to complete the filming mission!"

"Hello, hello, I'm causing trouble for you!"

Chen Qi then became enthusiastic and shook hands with the other party tightly - unfortunately it was not Ju Zuo who came, and Ju Zuo was also in the North Sea Fleet at the earliest.

A few people immediately exchanged ideas, and Guo Shu suggested that it would be best to move to Changhai County tomorrow. Changhai County is on an island, so it is more convenient to travel to and from the location. Otherwise, it would take a long time to travel from Dalian every day.

The crew sent a set designer over in advance to set up the scenery on the island, just waiting for filming.

Chen Qi asked: "Comrade! We need a few planes, a few paratroopers, a few scrapped boats, and a lot of explosives. I don't understand. Let me ask, if too many explosives explode, what impact will it have on the island?

What?"

"Oh, you mean will it destroy the island?"

"Almost!"

"Don't worry! The island is our bombing training ground. The shrapnel we have collected over the years weighs several tons. The little explosives you used for filming... Haha!"

Comrade Guo Shu laughed frankly and said: "The soldiers were very excited when they heard that you were coming to film. When they heard that it was an explosion scene, they were even more excited. They are all eagerly looking forward to it!

Whatever effect you want, we will blow it up for you!"

Ho!

Chen Qi and Tsui Hark looked at each other, now a little playful.

(No more...)
Chapter completed!
