Chapter 78: Funding the Cultivation of Opera Talents? Director Chen Is so Responsible!
Li Zhiming continued to instruct his secretary:
"Before the movie channel is broadcast, arrange for someone to write a good movie commentary."
"First, explain the details and metaphors of the film itself."
"Second, introduce the opera in it."
"Tell the opera channel again that after the promotional video is broadcast, they should arrange to play more operas that appear in films such as "Si Fan", "Farewell My Concubine" and "The Drunken Concubine."
"In addition to the opera channel, we must also increase the intensity of these operas on the Internet."
"Okay." Secretary He wrote it down in the notebook.
Seeing Li Zhiming turn around, Chen Xiao said, "Director Li, I have a suggestion."
"Please speak."
"Asking the staff in the department to analyze this play may not be thorough enough. Asking a crew member to help everyone analyze it and record a video may be more effective."
Li Zhiming nodded.
That makes sense.
If Chen Xiao hadn't reminded him just now, he really didn't realize that the light in the court was stage light at first glance.
He has been working in the art field for more than 30 years and still feels this way, let alone the junior staff.
"Director Chen's suggestion is very good. Do you have any recommendations?"
Chen Xiao said decisively: "Yes, art director Fang Rong."
Yesterday, Director Fang was at the post-production base, holding a CD in his hand and lamenting, "I have to go on vacation again. Vacation is so boring! I like work the most."
As a junior, I hate to see my elders in trouble!
Introduce him a job.
Save him from going on vacation in boredom.
"Director Fang, it's indeed suitable." Li Zhiming looked at the secretary again, "Contact Director Fang as soon as possible and ask him to record a commentary program."
Secretary He wrote down the task, "Okay!"
"Let me see your notes."
Li Zhiming asked for the secretary's notebook and glanced at the overall arrangement.
The broadcast of the film, the explanation of the content, and the broadcast of the opera, the three-party linkage is enough.
If there is no such film, the public will just flip over the opera video when they see it.
After watching "Farewell My Concubine", when they see operas such as "The Drunken Concubine" and "Sifan" on opera channels or new media platforms such as short videos, the possibility of stopping to watch is very high.
In addition to the direct impact, the film will also affect other fields, allowing other fields to help spread Peking Opera and produce a chain reaction.
For example, there must be some bloggers dressed up as Du Liniang, Yang Guifei, etc.
This indirectly pushes Peking Opera into the public's field of vision.
Oh, thinking about it this way, this is really much better than shooting a short film of three to five minutes!
Maybe, the number of applicants for drama and opera studies and art troupes will reach a peak in the past decade this year. Opera has also ushered in the biggest boom in recent years.
Suddenly I am looking forward to the expressions of the old artists.
Li Zhiming's mouth corners slightly raised, and he returned the notebook to the secretary.
Turning his head and looking at Chen Xiao with a smile: "Director Chen, the department will solve the broadcast issue. You have worked hard, go back and have a good rest. Of course, if you have any suggestions, feel free to say it."
"Well, okay."
Chen Xiao readily agreed.
The Ministry of Culture invested in the promotional film, and it must be very concerned about its broadcast.
He doesn't need to worry about how it is released as a promotional film for opera.
But his expectation for "Farewell My Concubine" is not limited to being released on domestic platforms.
Movies can relax and entertain, and they also have the function of cultural inheritance and communication.
We must promote it abroad and spread Chinese culture!
However, there is no rush for this matter.
Let's wait until it is broadcast in China.
Li Zhiming was about to stand up, and suddenly thought of something, and turned back and said:
"Oh, by the way, we are going to transform the old street where the filming was taken into a tourist attraction. As a designer, you can get a design fee. Because of its high historical value, it is estimated that the tourism income is good. The design fee is estimated to be several million, and it will be transferred to your card later."
Chen Xiao heard this and pondered for a moment.
Old street...
This street was built for the filming of "Farewell My Concubine".
During the filming, there were many young actors in the crew.
Some children's family conditions are not very good.
Moreover, Peking Opera is not very popular in China at present, and their treatment is not very good.
At that time, he had an idea to donate some money to them.
With the share of Titanic and Diamond Company, he has several hundred million in his card, and he really doesn't need these few million design fees.
This small amount of millions, just donate it to cultivate talents.
However...
If he donates it himself, he still needs to inquire about the procedures.
The Art Hall must be very familiar with this operation, so ask them to transfer it directly on his behalf.
"Director Li, can you help me transfer this small amount of millions directly to the opera troupe?"
Director Li and Zhou Wen were stunned.
Director Li confirmed: "You mean..."
"I want to donate it to them to cultivate young actors."
Director Li was stunned for a moment, and smiled with relief: "Of course."
He secretly sighed in his heart that Chen Xiao shot an opera promotional video, donated money to the opera troupe, and knew about opera himself.
If these things were heard by the old artists, I'm afraid they would treat Chen Xiao as their precious grandson...
Tsk tsk, at such a young age, he has come a long way.
Zhou Wen on the side also nodded in appreciation.
In the past, I only heard that Director Chen was talented, humble and hardworking, but I didn't expect that he had such a sense of charity.
And he spent millions at once.
You know, even big stars who have been in the entertainment industry for many years donate less than a million yuan. Some are even rich and covered in jewelry, but they don't donate a penny.
Chen Xiao started donating at a young age as soon as he made money.
It's really rare.
Go back and find the media to report it.
He is dedicated and has a sense of social responsibility. Who else should we report if not him?
Director Li smiled and looked at the two people on his left and right, "Okay, I have nothing to say. Do you two want to chat?"
"No, I think you have a very good vision!" Zhou Wen patted Li Zhiming on the shoulder and said with a smile.
He came here today just to meet the policy consultant recommended by Li Zhiming.
After watching the film, plus the donation.
He was full of admiration and a hundred confidences in Chen Xiao.
No need to talk, he agreed to let Chen Xiao serve as a policy consultant, report directly, and wait for approval from the top.
Chen Xiao said: "I have no problem."
The three got up and walked out. Just as they reached the door, Li Zhiming suddenly remembered something and said: "By the way, Director Chen, are you free before the New Year? A friend of mine wants to see you."
"Wait! What are you going to do again?"
Zhou Wen immediately became alert when he heard the word friend.
Chen Xiao had agreed to be a policy consultant, which was equivalent to half a step into the Policy and Regulations Department.
This old Li, won't introduce him to another part-time job?
No!
This kind of talent belongs to the Policy and Regulations Department!
