Chapter 675 Crazy Fans
Along with Wei Fengjun's double-disciplinary investigation and Mou Chunzhi's punishment, two more people in the Guowen Publishing House were found to have problems. Both of them were from the distribution department. As a result, they were directly expelled and handed over to judicial authorities.
The issuance department has really become the hardest hit area in this anti-corruption campaign. Even the soldiers are more corrupt than the vice president Mou Chunzhi.
The first anti-corruption campaign in the history of Guowen Society has achieved fruitful results.
Looking at the two soldiers from the distribution department being sent away, Mou Chunzhi was extremely glad for his actions two days ago. If he had not turned himself in, he would probably have been the one to be sent away.
Punishments are punishments, but work still needs to be done.
Things in Hangzhou had been delayed for several days, so Mou Chunzhi had to go out on a business trip that day.
He came out of the community carrying a briefcase, and Xiao Weng, who was in the message room, saw him and came out to greet him immediately.
"President Mou, are you going out? I'll take you there!"
Mou Chunzhi's face twitched obscurely. "No, no. I've already told Xiao Chen to take me there."
He ignored Xiao Weng's enthusiasm and hurriedly got on the broken Yanjing 212 driven by Xiao Chen.
This was the original bus of the Guowen Publishing House. Later, after Xiao Weng and his Santana came along, Xiao Chen and his Yanjing 212 were no longer popular.
In the days after the accident, Mou Chunzhi was worried and kept observing Xiao Weng.
Every time he received something, Xiao Weng would get a copy. He reported the situation to several leaders, but after waiting for several days, all the people from the distribution department had been sent away, but Xiao Weng acted as if nothing had happened.
Seeing this situation, how could Mou Chunzhi not understand what was going on?
Our editor-in-chief Lin is such a ruthless person!
He is so cruel when it comes to cheating people. We used to think he was a good person.
It is unjust that he does not hold an official position!
Although he was resentful, Mou Chunzhi could only blame himself for his bad luck in the end. It was his own fault for not being able to control himself.
But from then on, he set a rule for himself in his heart.
Don't ever get close to Lin Weimin, this smiling tiger, and stay away from him as much as possible!
That morning, the three giants of the Guowen Society sat together again.
The anti-corruption campaign has come to an end, several corrupt organizations have been eradicated, and the social atmosphere has improved recently.
Lao Zhou has been closed for a year, but has been making good food for three years since it reopened. He is in a good mood these days.
A few more positions were vacated in the club, and Cheng Zaochun felt about the same as Lao Zhou.
Only Lin Weimin was in a bad mood. In the past two days, there were rumors in the society that Xiao Weng was a "spy" specially planted in the society to collect evidence of corruption by Wei Fengjun and others.
They said that Xiao Weng often worked as a groom for Wei Fengjun, and the society must have obtained key information about Wei Fengjun's illegal activities through him, so they held a special meeting to take Wei Fengjun away.
This was a trap that Lin Weimin had designed long ago, just waiting for a fool like Wei Fengjun to fall into it.
Lin Weimin felt extremely wronged. What does this have to do with me?
Comrade Xiao Weng is a veteran after all. He is well organized and disciplined. He always keeps D's teachings in mind. When he discovered something illegal, he could not suppress his sense of justice and took the initiative to report these corrupt elements.
What does it have to do with me?
What does it have to do with heaven and earth and conscience?
I'm the editor-in-chief. You don't arrange things for the president or the secretary, but for me, the editor-in-chief?
Is it suitable?
"This time it's all thanks to you, Weimin. If you hadn't been prepared and anticipated the enemy's moves, we wouldn't have been able to bring those parasites to justice so easily this time." Secretary Zhou said with emotion.
Lin Weimin was full of impatience, "Old Zhou, I've told you so many times that it's Xiao Weng who has a higher level of awareness, it has nothing to do with me."
"Yes, yes, it has nothing to do with you. I understand! I understand!"
Seeing his surprised look, Lao Zhou immediately changed his words and gave him a look that could only be understood but not expressed in words.
I am...
Don’t think I won’t sue you for defamation just because you’re my colleague!
After chatting for a while, Lin Weimin felt unhappy and decided to leave early.
"Where are you going?" Cheng Zaochun asked him.
"Let's go to the movies!" Lin Weimin said unhappily.
June 18th is the day when "Farewell My Concubine" was released.
In preparation for this day's release, Xu Feng has been running around almost to pieces for the past half month, but her hard work has paid off.
"Farewell My Concubine" has signed distribution contracts with more than 80 provincial and municipal distribution companies across the country, and its distribution channels are comparable to those of China Film.
The film was jointly produced by her Tomson Pictures, Yan Film Studio and Michael Phillips's Film Company. Xu Feng had previously manipulated the investment ratio.
In addition, the main creators behind the scenes of the film are all from the mainland, and one of the producers is Yanying Studio, so "Farewell My Concubine" enjoys the treatment of a co-production and can share the profits.
At that time, film profit sharing was not as troublesome as it is in later generations. The production company and the distribution company would just agree on a 6:4 split. Otherwise, Xu Feng would not have worked so hard.
In order to prepare for the release of Farewell My Concubine, Xu Feng specially planned a premiere and roadshow.
As early as 1912, France released a 53-minute film "Queen Elizabeth" and held the first film promotion roadshow. From then on, film premieres and roadshows became standard for public film screenings.
"The Birth of a Nation", "Insurgency", "Ben-Hur", "The Ten Commandments", "The Burning of Tyrants", "Cleopatra", as the number of premieres and roadshows increased and the momentum grew, this habit also spread to Hong Kong, Taiwan and other places.
Since the early 1980s, co-productions between the mainland and Hong Kong have always been a hot commodity in the domestic film market.
Not to mention "Shaolin Temple" which has been released for ten years, just at the beginning of this year, Document No. 3 of the Ministry of Radio, Film and Television was just announced. Cheng Zhigu, director of Yanying Studio, was instructed by Tian Congming to introduce "Once Upon a Time in China 3: Return of the Lion King" directed by Tsui Hark as the first domestically produced film.
After the movie was released, it grossed 150 million yuan at the box office.
You have to know that at that time China Film Group and provincial distribution companies were extremely resistant to film reform. They still hoped to distribute films according to the original unified purchase and sales method.
"Once Upon a Time in China 3: Return of the Lion King" only won the support of city-level distribution companies in a dozen major cities in China. Under such circumstances, it was able to earn 150 million yuan at the box office, tearing a hole in the domestic film distribution field which was originally an iron curtain.
When Farewell My Concubine was released, both the domestic distributors and moviegoers had no awareness of commercial and art films at that time.
Everyone only knows that "Farewell My Concubine" has the huge influence of the original novel, huge investment and the support of big-name stars, and the honor of the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, so it is no problem for it to be a box office hit.
With the success of "Once Upon a Time in China 3: Return of the Lion King", provincial distribution companies were no longer as persistent as before. Most of them signed the distribution agreements reluctantly, successfully widening the market gap again during the stalemate of film reform.
Today's premiere was scheduled at the Capital Cinema. Xu Feng promoted the film in newspapers, radio and television half a month in advance. The news about the premiere of Farewell My Concubine had already spread throughout the city of Yanjing.
Ordinary people all know that Gong Li, Leslie Cheung, Han Zhuangzhuang and a number of other movie stars will appear at the Capital Cinema that night.
Since that morning, the entrance of the Capital Cinema has been crowded with people. Most of the people there are fans of Leslie Cheung, and a small number of them are there to see Gong Li and other main creators of the film.
As the crowd grew, it affected traffic, and then alarmed the police, who finally had to put up a fence at the entrance of the cinema and mobilized dozens of armed police comrades to maintain order.
With only four or five hundred meters to the cinema, the car refused to move. Lin Weimin was still wondering, could it be that he had returned to 2020 in his dream?
There is a traffic jam in Yanjing!
After a while, news came back from the front. It turned out that there was an event being held at the cinema in front. Too many people came, blocking the road.
Lin Weimin was speechless, as this matter had something to do with him.
He could only find a place to park his car and then walk to the entrance of Capital Cinema.
“Good fellow!”
Lin Weimin put up a curtain in front of him and took a look. There were at least one or two thousand people at the scene. Outside the temporary barbed wire railings, there were densely packed heads. Many of these people were holding banners and singing.
Lin Weimin listened carefully, "hinghingsiuseng..."
They are all fans of Leslie Cheung!
These days, Hong Kong music is the top trend!
It's only twelve o'clock now, and the event officially starts at one o'clock in the afternoon. I guess these fans haven't even had lunch.
No matter what era, the fans are really fanatical!
This was the first time that the Capital Cinema organized this kind of event and they had no experience. The reserved entrance was blocked by fans and there was no VIP channel. Lin Weimin tried to squeeze into the crowd but found that he couldn't get in at all.
It’s too tight, Teacher Lin is not hard enough.
He really wanted to shout: I am a bureau-level cadre, all of you get out of my way.
After waiting for a long time, I finally saw two cars coming from a distance. A handsome figure got out of the car and walked into the cinema under the protection of a group of policemen. It was impossible not to surround them. When the fans at the scene saw Leslie Cheung appear, they immediately rioted.
"Zhang Guorong!"
"elder brother!"
The roar was like a tsunami, and Teacher Lin was almost knocked unconscious. He was rushed to the side of the police surrounding Zhang Guorong along with the crowd.
"A-zai! Guorong! Young Master Rong!"
Teacher Lin was shouting nonsense and finally attracted Zhang Guorong's attention. He took off his sunglasses and looked surprised.
"Teacher Lin? Why didn't you go in?"
"Don't mention it, just pull me in first!" Lin Weimin asked for help.
With the help of police comrades, Lin Weimin finally escaped from the sea of suffering.
"It's crazy! It's crazy!" He brushed the dust off his body with lingering fear. Compared with the fans of celebrities, their fans who are engaged in literature are nothing, just a bunch of trash.
Lin Weimin and Zhang Guorong walked towards the Capital Cinema under the escort of the police. The police could not stop Zhang Guorong wherever he passed. The fans chased him all the way, just like the Fruit Party who surrounded the Red Army back then.
They chased them all the way to the entrance of the cinema. Because there were too many people, the fans were crowded there all at once. The 1.2 cm thick glass door was shattered with a snap, and the glass pieces scattered all over the floor, causing a commotion.
Thanks to the police comrades covering their retreat, Zhang Guorong and Lin Weimin were fine. They were finally safe from the entrance to the lobby and then to the lounge.
Everyone had already arrived in the lounge, Lin Weimin and Zhang Guorong were the last to arrive.
Han Zhuangzhuang was wearing a black suit and standing next to Gong Li with a strong build. When he saw Lin Weimin, he looked surprised.
"Uncle, are you here to escape famine?"
Lin Weimin's face darkened, but because there were so many people present, he resisted the urge to kick his unfilial nephew.
"Don't mention it, those fans outside are too crazy!"
Han Zhuangzhuang said: "Really? I didn't feel anything when Gong Li and I came in just now!"
"Of course you didn't feel anything, people thought you were a bodyguard!"
There was a sudden burst of laughter in the lounge.
