…

The late autumn sunshine shines on Jingshan Hutong, adding a bit of warmth.

In the yard, Second Grandma was busy beating the quilt, which still stank of the smell of sunshine.

In a corner of the yard, several chrysanthemums are in full bloom, adding a touch of vitality to this season.

"Grandma Huang, you are busy." Yang Song stepped into the yard, looking around.

"Matsuko is here,"

Second Grandma looked up and saw Yang Song, a kind smile appeared on her face.

"It's getting cold, take out the thick quilt and dry it out in the sun. You haven't been to my house for a while, is there something wrong?"

"Ah, well, is Jianwei here?" Yang Song scratched his head.

"I'm here, watching TV in the living room. Go ahead." Second Grandma waved her hand and continued with her busy work.

Yang Song walked into the house. Jianwei was half-lying on the sofa in the living room, his eyes lightly sweeping across the TV screen. Hearing footsteps, he turned around and frowned slightly.

"Why are you here?"

Yang Song gave an awkward smile.

"What are you talking about? After all, we are good brothers who grew up together, right? Why can't I come to see you?"

"Hmph, I don't deserve to be called that. Your good brother is someone else." Jianwei's words were filled with obvious dissatisfaction.

Yang Song has been getting closer and closer to Hu Shuangqi in recent years, and the conflict between Jianwei and Hu Shuangqi has been going on for a long time, so he was not happy at all to see Yang Song coming to him.

"No, we are all brothers, and we have known each other since childhood. My father works under his father, so there is nothing I can do."

Yang Song tried to explain, with a hint of helplessness and pleading in his tone.

Jianwei was silent for a moment, and finally sighed.

"Okay, stop pretending. Tell me what you want to talk to me about."

"Hehe, isn't tomorrow my 18th birthday? My grandfather said he would set up a few tables for me, and I reserved one table for us childhood friends. I came here specially to invite you." A hint of cunning flashed in Yang Song's eyes.

"Okay, I got it. What time and where are we going tomorrow?" Jianwei's expression softened a little.

"Tomorrow at 12 noon, Wangfu Hotel. You..."

Before Yang Song finished speaking, he heard light footsteps coming up the stairs.

Huang Wenrong was wearing a light blue sweater, her hair casually tied into a ponytail, and she walked down from upstairs with a bright smile on her face.

"Jianwei, do you have my Walkman?"

"Sister Rong, it's great to have you at home!" Yang Song's eyes lit up and he immediately went forward to greet her.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Huang Wenrong was startled by Yang Song's sudden enthusiasm and looked at him with some confusion.

"It's my birthday tomorrow at noon, and I'm inviting Dawei to dinner. Sister Rong, come with him tomorrow!"

Yang Song's eyes were full of anticipation, as if his birthday party would be complete only if Huang Wenrong was invited.

Jianwei immediately stood in front,

"Hey, my sister isn't going. They're all guys, so why would she go, the only girl?"

"My sister is going too. Everyone wants to meet Sister Rong but never had the chance. This time, if I invite someone, I have to be presentable."

Yang Song obviously did not give up, and his tone became more sincere.

Huang Wenrong smiled and gently refused.

"Sorry, Songzi, I have a class meeting tomorrow so I can't go. You guys have fun."

Yang Song continued to invite,

"No, Sister Rong, we're going to sing karaoke after dinner. Come over and play for a while when you're done."

"Get out, get out of here right now, you don't understand me, right? My sister won't go, and I won't go even if you keep pestering me."

Jianwei ordered them to leave, with a hint of anger in his tone.

"No, I'm leaving now. Don't be late tomorrow." Yang Song left reluctantly.

"Sister, there aren't many good people in that group. If you want to sing karaoke, let's go by ourselves next time."

Jianwei was afraid that Huang Wenrong would be angry, so he quickly explained.

"It's okay. I don't like playing with people I don't know well anyway. Our teacher said there will be an important class meeting tomorrow, and we don't know what time it will end." Huang Wenrong smiled and comforted his brother.

"Then I'll pick you up after dinner. There's nothing much to do with that group of people."

"Okay, then you play for a while and then come pick me up. Whoever finishes first will go to the playground to wait for the other." Huang Wenrong made an agreement with him.

…

At the beginning of this year, the Ministry of Radio, Film and Television held a national radio, film and television publicity work conference.

In-depth discussions were held on issues such as the depressed domestic film market, the rampant smuggling and pirated films, and the lack of vitality in domestic film creation.

During the meeting, a young leader boldly proposed introducing high-quality foreign films to enhance the audience's cultural needs, promote innovation and competition in domestic films, and enhance international exchanges and cooperation in the domestic film industry.

"Brother Ming, you really dare to make suggestions."

After the meeting, Zhang Chengli expressed his sincere admiration.

"There's no other way. If domestic films want to have a future, they must reform. Cheng Li, you're familiar with foreign countries, but this time you have to accompany me. We have a tough battle to fight."

The proposer said this earnestly, his tone revealing a firm determination.

"Don't worry, Ming. I will definitely support you. Xiaochuan is still abroad and he can help."

Zhang Chengli agreed immediately.

So that afternoon, the two were called into the office.

The Minister personally listened to their plan and gave it his full support.

"You must act quickly to introduce high-quality foreign films as soon as possible to inject new vitality into the domestic film market."

After more than half a year of active negotiations with overseas film distributors and other parties, Zhang Chengli and his team finally succeeded in introducing the first foreign film, which will be distributed and screened nationwide.
