That's the end of our dinner. 。The provincial Party secretary, Xiong Qi, also went back to his room to rest. Lu Zhixing, Tan Siming, Tan Zhen, Xiao Jingyu and other leaders also went back to their rooms respectively. 。
Tan Zhen went to Tan Siming's room to discuss matters after a while. 。On the other hand, Fang Ya accompanied Liu's director and Li Jie to come out together. The three arrived at Li Jie’s room together. 。Li Jie called over his assistant, Annie, and asked her to make several cocktails for everyone. 。Then, he raised his glass to toast Liu the Director and Fang Ya, ready to start drinking again. 。Fang Ya chuckled and said, "Director Li, is this what you call 'open'?" Li Jie replied, "Minister Fang, I'm not used to that kind of dinner party." 。The alcohol is too strong and the food feels heavy. I'm afraid I won't be able to digest anything, so it's best to leave soon. 。"Fang Yanyang raised her glass and said, 'Understood, I'll raise a toast to Director Li here.'" 。Artists and officials are completely different. A dull atmosphere would stifle them. 。Fang Ya has done so much publicity work and is quite familiar with it. 。Li Jie was very happy to have a drink with Fang Ya. 。
Liu, the director of publicity at Huajing, said, "Director Li, what you call 'overtime' is actually drinking cocktails. " 。But I just said at the dinner table that the department leaders asked me to talk to Li Dao about something, and it's really true that I need to chat with you about something. 。Li Jie looked at Liu, the director, and once again broke into a kind and friendly smile: "In my room, we can chat casually." 。sipping on drinks and chatting away 。"Director Liu also raised his glass and clinked it with Li Jie." 。Li Jie couldn't drink at the party, but in his own room, he had the door wide open and was drinking cocktail after cocktail, very pleased with himself. 。Fang Ya said, "Bureau Chief Liu, if you guys have something to discuss, I'd better leave first!" Bureau Chief Liu immediately said, "This isn't a secret." 。As the deputy director of Jiangzhong Propaganda Department, you should be aware of this, so I won't have to tell you separately later. 。"Fang Ya was a little curious, did this have anything to do with the Jiangzhong Propaganda Department? She was detached, but she cared very much about the latest news." 。Only to hear Liu Shisen say: "Director Li, where are the department leaders? They hope that a big leader like you can return to China to create! As you know, our country is in an upswing period. The domestic film market is currently the largest in the world besides North America, and it is not impossible for it to surpass North America in the future." 。If you were to return home, the country would definitely place great importance on you, providing you with the best creative conditions and support. 。"Shall we consider this?"
Li Jie held his wine glass, a smile still playing on his lips. "I guessed you'd bring this up." 。But you also know that what I value most is not the creation conditions or financial support, but the freedom of creation. 。I'm currently in North America, so I can freely choose my creative subjects. But in China, what kind of content can I create? The popular topics seem a bit narrow. 。The most important issue is that my film was produced in North America and can be released to hundreds of countries worldwide, but not domestically. To achieve global distribution, I would have to find North American film studios and distributors, etc. 。"You said, why do I need to go around such a big circle?!"
Liu Shisen saw that Li Jie's words were reasonable, and this was indeed the actual situation. Liu Shisen said: "Then I'll go back to the department leadership and give them feedback, saying that you haven't planned in this area recently" >>>。"Li Jie nodded and said, “Let's not talk about work anymore. Let's have another drink together." 。Engaging in art and culture is definitely not about "a good product selling itself." Besides having excellent works, the most crucial factor is a high-level platform. A lofty platform allows for greater reach. Popular culture, like water, flows from higher to lower positions. It goes from developed countries to developing ones, from big cities to smaller towns and villages, and finally to rural areas. 。Therefore, based on the current situation, it is unrealistic for Li Jie to give up the large platform of North America. 。
Liu Shisen chatted with Li Jie about some international cultural events, from New York to London, from Paris to Tokyo, and from Huijing to Zhonghai. Seeing that it was almost time, Liu Shisen got up and said goodbye, leaving with Fang Ya. 。。The crescent moon in the winter night sky resembles a slender eyebrow, and the Milky Way is faintly visible. 。Two people walked across the vast lawn, from one building to another. The light spilling from the windows of the rooms stretched their figures long and thin. 。Liu Shisen suddenly asked, "Fang Ya, why did you call me here this time? Don't lie to me!" Fang Ya giggled and said, "To attend the press conference of ." 。"Didn't you say the department leaders also value Director Li very much?" Liu Shisen said, "Still trying to fool me! "Zanglong Jianyu" is a film with its own characteristics. It promotes Chinese culture internationally and indeed does a good job of publicity; Director Li is an international director with high visibility, and his fans are countless." 。Well, you see, the department brought him over from North America specifically because they needed a talent like him. They even had me come personally to recruit him. But frankly, he hasn't quite reached that level yet, hehe. 。Liu Shisen's laughter was a little mischievous, the kind of mischief he only showed in front of Fang Ya. 。Fang Ya couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that everything you talked to Director Li about today was made up by you? The leaders in the department didn't want him to return home?"Liu Shisen said, "That's not quite right..." 。The leaders of the department heard that I was coming to this press conference and wanted to try to get Director Li to return to China, of course they wouldn't oppose it either. 。However, leaders will never force anyone. For talents to return home, it depends on their own awareness. You can't force someone into something they don't want to do. 。Instead of trying to persuade a big director to come back and just stay put in China, neither happy nor sad, why not? Spending resources and money is not as good as cultivating a domestic director. 。An artist can be cultivated. 。"Fang Ya listened and smiled, saying: "It seems that my cousin came all the way to Jiangzhong just because of me." 。"Thanks, Brother!" Liu Shisen glanced at Fang Ya and said, "I can't say thank you aloud. You asked me to come here for a reason. What is your purpose? Who are you doing this for?"After arriving at the An Hai Hotel, Liu Shisen had been observing who was closest to Fang Ya? Which person would be most affected if this event went poorly? The An Hai Hotel would be directly affected, but even a large hotel probably wouldn't catch Fang Ya's eye. 。Moreover, the leaders of the town Party committee and government were also present, but Cai Ya seemed to have no communication with them, nor did she show any concern. 。Then, only the county magistrate of An County, Jin Jianqiang, was left. 。"By the way, could it be Jin Jianqiang? At the banquet, Fang Ya also brought Jin Jianqiang to toast Secretary Xiong." 。Liu Shisen thought about it and felt something was wrong. 。Fang Ya's vision was so high, Jin Jianqiang was getting up there in age, but his status wasn't that high. There was already a muddiness in his eyes, like that of a grassroots cadre. 。Could Fang Ya possibly look down on someone like this? Liu Shisen would never believe it. 。Besides, who else could it be? Could it be because of Xiao Jingyu? Liu Shisen recalled again the exchange of glances between Xiao Jingyu and Fang Ya at the banquet. 。Fang Ya even made a funny face at Xiao Jingyu, who glared at her. 。Liu Shisen knew that Xiao Jingyu was Fang Ya's best friend, and would do anything for her bestie, right?
Liu Shisen turned to Fang Ya and asked, "Is it for Xiao Jingyu?" Fang Ya immediately smiled and said, "Cousin, how did you guess it!" Liu Shisen finally felt relieved and also smiled, "Can I not see through your little thoughts?"
Fang Ya thought in her heart, you feel good about yourself, but you are actually blind! She still smiled and said, "Xiao Jingyu is not easy in Jingzhou, when I should help her, I have to help her" 。"Liu Shisen said: "Since it's for your best friend, I have nothing to say." 。By the way, why is your best friend working so hard? I heard that someone from the Sima family has taken a liking to her. If she marries into the Sima family, she can be a housewife if she doesn't want to work; and if she wants to work, she can go to the Beijing branch like me. Is it not comfortable for you?”
