Chapter 135 Organizational Discussion, Group Reform (Revised) (Please Subscribe!)
Human joys and sorrows are not the same.

Especially after Wu Tianming returned from Hong Kong and immediately heard that Chen Fusheng had become the honorary vice chairman of the Writers' Association...

"Where did Director Chen go today?" Wu Tianming asked curiously.

Lingzi replied, "I went to a meeting at the ministry."

"Going to a meeting at the ministry?" Wu Tianming was even more puzzled by this answer.

"Hmm." Lingzi nodded, then chuckled and joked, "It must be the organization that called him in for a talk. I reckon it won't be long before we're calling him Director Chen."

"He was just promoted this year, right? Is it that fast?" Wu Tianming asked, both shocked and skeptical.

“There are even faster ones.” Lingzi then added, “But I’m not sure, it’s just a guess… By the way, Director Wu, how did your movie do in Hong Kong? I remember you said you were going for a week, why did you come back early?”

"Sigh, stop talking, I need to go back and lick my wounds."

Ling Zi understood what Wu Tianming meant.

Instead of pressing for details, he offered a comforting remark: "It's alright. Can your movie be any worse than my 'The Wilderness'?"

However, her attempt to comfort her clearly had no effect.

……

In the department.

Chen Fusheng was unaware that Wu Tianming had returned ahead of schedule, and even if he had known, it would have been impossible for him to go back now.

Because they are still being interviewed by the organization.

Sitting opposite him were Secretary Zhu, Secretary Ding, and several leaders from the Organization Department.

“Comrade Fusheng, your film revenue generation working group has been established for over a year now, and it has indeed achieved remarkable results. However, we have noticed that the main contributors to the success are almost all your films. What are your thoughts on this phenomenon?” asked a leader from the Organization Department.

"My films have indeed achieved some success, but I don't think we can deny the contributions of other directors. For example, didn't Wu Tianming's 'The River Without Beacon' earn the country $13 in foreign exchange at the recent Venice International Film Festival? And Chen Huaikai's 'The Broken Jade Gate' has just finished filming... As for Ling Zi's first film 'The Wilderness,' although it lost money, it was a film that was initiated before the group was formed. Now, her film 'The Cotton Robe,' as a martial arts film, I think it can achieve good box office results even if it is released in Hong Kong. Moreover, my own films will be submitted to the Berlin International Film Festival, and I believe we will not return empty-handed."

At this point, Chen Fusheng paused for a moment and concluded, "Therefore, the achievements of our film revenue generation team are not just mine, but everyone's."

"Okay, thank you for your answer, Comrade Fusheng."

After nodding, the leader, surnamed Zhou, said softly to Secretary Zhu, "I'm all set on my end."

After glancing at the others and receiving nods in response, Secretary Zhu had already made his decision.

"Alright, we've pretty much covered the issues. I bet you're curious about how the organization will arrange things for your film revenue generation team, Comrade Fusheng. Well, we won't keep you in suspense any longer."

When Chen Fusheng heard that the Q&A session was finally over, he breathed a sigh of relief and looked forward to what Secretary Zhu would say next.

"Comrade Chen Fusheng, as you know, your previous film foreign exchange earnings working group was just a pilot project. As your work has become more and more outstanding and the scale has grown, it's not appropriate for you to always be affiliated with the Film Bureau. So, after a meeting of the ministry and with the personal approval of the higher-ups, we are going to separate your group and establish an independent film foreign exchange earnings company for you. And Comrade Chen Fusheng, you will serve as the first general manager of this foreign exchange earnings company. What are your thoughts on this?"

"To set up a company for us?"

To be honest, Chen Fusheng was somewhat surprised by this result.

After all, their group had always belonged to the Film Bureau since its inception, so he naturally assumed that this reform would create a separate department for them within the Film Bureau.

Surprisingly, they separated their group and set up a separate company for them. Well, thinking about it carefully, that seems reasonable.

After all, they're filmmakers, and it's not really in line with the rules for them to constantly get involved with film management.

It was fine when it was just a pilot program, but now it looks like it's on the right track.

Wearing the same pair of pants is also likely to draw criticism.

After figuring out these principles, Chen Fusheng understood why the government had set up companies for them.

"Yes, setting up a company for you is to facilitate your better development and make your internal management more effective."

Chen Fusheng nodded, still harboring many doubts. He then asked one by one, "Secretary Zhu, what is our company's name?"

"What do you think should be called?" Secretary Zhu asked instead of answering.

Chen Fusheng thought about it seriously for a moment, and then suggested a name: "How about China Film Export Earnings Company?"

While Secretary Zhu was still pondering his name, Secretary Ding shook his head and said, "Comrade Fusheng, let's change it. Although your name is quite fitting, if we agree to it, China Film Group will come and make a scene."

Secretary Zhu nodded repeatedly upon hearing this: "Yes, yes, yes, I was wondering why the name 'China Film Export Earnings Company' sounded off. It turns out it conflicts with the functions of China Film Group Corporation..."

Seeing that both leaders had said this, Chen Fusheng didn't insist on using the name he had come up with on the spot, but he couldn't think of a better one for the time being, so he said:

"In that case, how about I discuss the name with the others when I get back?"

"Hmm, that works too. Anyway, it's not that urgent."

Secretary Zhu then asked, "Comrade Fusheng, do you have any other questions?"

"Yes, now that we've set up a company, where is it located? We can't keep working at the Film Bureau, can we?"

"Don't worry, we'll arrange new housing for you. However, you'll continue working at the Film Bureau for now. Once the Housing Management Bureau has arranged your company's location, they'll notify you."

At this point, Secretary Zhu added, "Your company will definitely be able to open by the end of the year at the latest."

"Thank you, Secretary Zhu!"

If at the beginning it was several leaders taking turns asking Chen Fusheng questions, then it was exactly the other way around from then on.

"Which department is the company's superior department?"

"Film Bureau".

"At the company level?"

"A division-level unit!"

"You want me, a section chief, to manage a division-level unit?"

"Hehe, you won't be like that for long."
