Chapter 322 Three Proposals
At noon on October 10th, after three and a half months of filming, White Bone Realm was wrapped up.

The crew held a wrap party at the hotel and everyone attended.

Wu Jing, Zhang Jin, Wang Baoqiang and Xie Miao also came over to join in the fun. Zhang Jin also brought Cai Doudou and Yu Bo.

Zhang Jin and Yu Bo have worked together in "Shuiyuedongtian". They are brothers in the play and also have connections outside of it.

"Mid-Autumn Festival, Doudou's contract has expired and he wants to join our company. What do you think?" Zhang Jin said.

"Yeah." Cai Dou Dou nodded quickly.

"Sister Xue..." He Zhongqiu called Yang Xue.

Yang Xue was talking to Yu Bo, they were classmates in the same class. Yu Bo's contract as a discipline supervisor had also ended, and he had already agreed to come to Zhongqiu Film and Television.

Zhongqiu Film and Television now has dozens of artists, but there are too many film and television projects, and many projects in cooperation with other companies. This year, there are at least 20 movies and TV shows, which require hundreds of actors. There are simply not enough actors, and most of them are artists from other companies, so profits cannot be maximized.

Yang Xue is contacting everyone one by one with the list of BFI graduating classes, and more BFI students will join in the future.

"Director Li, let's work together again if we have the chance in the future." He Zhongqiu said during the meal.

"Okay, I filmed Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and this White Bone World. Now I also want to make an action movie." Li An said with a smile.

"Director Zhang, do you think we should change the name of White Bone Realm?" He Zhongqiu turned around and asked.

Zhang Yimou nodded and said, "I think it's best to use 'Three Strikes on the White Bone Demon' in China, and change the title for overseas."

"Three Strike at the White Bone Demon? Good."

He Zhongqiu did not hesitate, as there were very few people in China who did not know this name.

Yang Xue said, "Sanjin, if White Bone Realm is successful, why not make a prequel, like Havoc in Heaven?"

"I think it's okay." Director Zhang said with a smile.

"Okay, let's make it into a Journey to the West series of movies." He Zhongqiu nodded and smiled.

At the wrap party, He Zhongqiu drank too much and went to the bathroom when he was half drunk. When he came out, he ran into Liu Yifei.

"Old Liu, are you peeing too?" he asked casually, his brain half numb.

"Pee?"

Liu Yifei, feeling ashamed and angry, thought to herself, why do I want to smash the monk's head so much now?
"Big monk, please bow your head." She waved with a smile.

"Tell me a secret?" He Zhongqiu smiled and leaned down.

"Boom!"

Liu Yifei raised her hand and hit him on the head.

"Hey, it hurts!"

However, He Zhongqiu didn't feel anything, but her fingers were sore from the tapping.

"Lao Liu, you touched my head again? Men's heads and women's waists, you can only look at them, not scratch them. This time I want to touch them back."

He Zhongqiu grabbed Liu Yifei's wrist, put his other hand around her waist, and pulled her into his arms.

"Let go, there's someone there."

Liu Yifei, with a red face, became anxious and began to struggle in He Zhongqiu's arms.

"This is interest."

He Zhongqiu chuckled, pinched Liu Yifei's chin, leaned over and kissed her lips, then let go and left.

After being forcefully kissed by the big monk, Liu Yifei felt numb all over, and her head was buzzing. She didn't even react when He Zhongqiu left.

After the wrap party, the crew of White Bone Realm officially disbanded.

Zhang Yimou will go to the United States in a few days to do the editing first, and then the special effects production. It will take at least half a year to complete, and the release time should be around the National Day or Spring Festival in 06.

In the evening, the Knicks played their first preseason game against the Heat.

As a result, He Zhongqiu drank too much at noon. Although he sobered up at night, he was in average condition and the Knicks lost the game.

The next day, He Zhongqiu woke up early in the morning and continued to prepare his formal agreement proposal.

However, his ability was very limited and he couldn't even write some complex words, so Yang Xue had to help him sort out his ideas.

There are three proposals in total, and they have been in preparation for some time.

The Zhengxie meeting is held every March. He has no time to attend and has already formally requested leave, but he still has to submit the proposal.

The first is to reduce funding for Qingdao University and increase funding for several other universities.

The second is to strengthen the management of the cultural, film, television and entertainment industries, prevent cultural invasion, strengthen cultural exports, and enhance national cultural confidence.

The third proposal is to prevent corruption, bribery and bribery in sports.

"Sanjin, do you want to reconsider these two proposals?"

Yang Xue believed that the latter two proposals would definitely offend a large number of people, from the cultural circle to the entertainment circle and the sports circle. There were too many of them. She herself was in these three circles, so it was inappropriate to propose such proposals. It was best to blend in with the world.

"What are you afraid of?"

He Zhongqiu shook his head and said, "Just these three."

Yang Xue was also helpless. At this time, the phone on the table rang. She saw that it was Liu Xiaoli. She answered the phone, said a few words and then hung up.

"Aunt Liu took Xixi back to New York to live for a while."

After she finished speaking, she was stunned. Going back to New York would not mean being closer to Sanjin?

"Originally, I proposed that Xixi sign with our company. She agreed before, but now she left without signing."

She said helplessly, "Are you going to cut off ties with us? Sanjin, I can't do anything about you, my little wife. You should handle it yourself."

He Zhongqiu waved his hand and said, "Let it be. Next year, my Iron Shirt will be even better, and my ability to restrain Qi and blood will be even better. Maybe I won't need a concubine anymore."

"Ah, didn't you tell me earlier?"

Thinking that she had already accepted Bai Bingbing and Tang Yan, Yang Xue kicked He Zhongqiu angrily.

"No, Sister Xue, maybe I can't control it. When doing that, the energy and blood surge, and it may be even stronger." He Zhongqiu said with a smile.

Yang Xue couldn't help but give He Zhongqiu a blank look, but she had made up her mind to ignore the matter and deal with it after they got married next year.

"Sister, will you go to America with me?" He Zhongqiu suddenly said.

"..."

Yang Xue originally wanted to say no, because she was going to the United States, and if they were together every day, wouldn't Sanjin drive her to death?

But when I think about the fact that Liu Yifei is also in New York, if she and Sanjin are together every day, wouldn't their feelings for each other grow stronger?

That girl is much prettier and younger than her. By then, she, as the first wife, might not even have a place to stay. It’s still unknown who will marry Sanjin next year.

But she knew that Liu Yifei couldn't stay in New York for long. She hadn't graduated yet, and she had to go to class even if she wasn't filming. She would definitely have to make up for the many classes she missed, so she would be back soon.

"If I go to the United States, what will happen to the company?" she asked. "Let the two vice presidents do more work and delegate some power. You can run between the two places. In addition, remote work is also convenient now with the Internet," said He Zhongqiu.

"Director Zhang and I will go there together after a while." After thinking for a while, Yang Xue said.

"Sister Xue, can I take Tangtang and Bingbing over with me?" He Zhongqiu asked.

Yang Xue snorted and said, "Tang Lao San is still studying, and I also plan to let Bai Lao Si go back to Anxi to continue her studies."

"No way, Sister Xue, what should I do then? There are so many beautiful women in the United States. If you find a few more, I won't have enough shares to go around." He Zhongqiu said hurriedly.

"Oh, I don't care." Yang Xue said irritably.

"Hehe, Sister Xue, I'll take them there first, you can go in a few days." He Zhongqiu said with a smile.

After a moment of silence, Yang Xue said, "We have sent our cinema approval to the Film Bureau for a long time, but it has not been approved yet."

"How many cinema chains are there in the country now?" He Zhongqiu asked.

"37."

Yang Xue said: "Last year, there were 2855 cinemas and more than 8500 screens. Now it is about 2900, 8900 screens."

"We invested 5 million, what's the share?" He Zhongqiu asked.

Yang Xue said: "On average, the current cinema investment is about 5000 yuan per seat, and the investment for a cinema with 100 seats is about 50 yuan.

According to the investment ratio, we should be able to control 1000 cinemas with 100 seats each, which would account for one-third of the domestic cinemas.

However, we do not have our own cinema chains. We own shares in six cinema chains, including China Film Digital, China Film Star Media, China Film Southern Cinemas, United Cinemas, Dadi Cinemas, and Jinyi Films.

These seven are currently the largest cinema chains in the country, so we can actually influence at least 70% of the theaters.

But the movie theater chain is developing very quickly, and I think it will be even faster in the future, and the number of theaters we can influence will continue to decrease.”

"Why didn't the Film Bureau approve it? Didn't Uncle Han say that he wanted to speed up the construction of theater chains? Have you asked him?" He Zhongqiu asked.

"I asked, and they said there are no quotas for theaters this year, and the last quota was awarded to Wanda." Yang Xue said.

"Who?"

"Wan Da."

“Aren’t they a real estate company?”

"Wanda announced in 03 that it would enter the film industry, and early last year it reached a cooperation agreement with Warner Bros. International Cinemas, with Warner helping Wanda build a modern cinema system.

Then last year Wanda invested another 1.2 million yuan to build five movie studios in Tianjin, Nanning, Wuhan, Harbin and Dalian.

In view of Wanda's investment and contribution to the cinema chain, on January 1 this year, the Film Bureau approved Wanda Cinema Chain Company. "

He Zhongqiu was surprised and said: "They invested 1.2 million, and we invested 5 million. Didn't the people in the Film Bureau even graduate from elementary school?
Although Mai Da is a real estate company with a lot of assets, who doesn’t know that real estate companies are a high-debt industry?
Sister Xue, I bet that all the liquidity of the entire Wanda Company combined is not as much as the cash you have in your hands. Can they come up with billions in cash? I think it will be difficult to come up with even a few hundred million. "

Yang Xue smiled and said, "That's right, real estate companies rely on bank loans."

He Zhongqiu added: "If Van Danon can cooperate with Warner, why can't we? What Hollywood technology can't I get? The eight major Hollywood film companies are all our partners. Doesn't the Film Bureau know?"

Yang Xue said: "Sanjin, there are no quotas for this year. The approval was completed in January. It has nothing to do with the approval of Wan Da by the bureau."

At this point, she took a sip of tea and continued, "Uncle Han said that 06 is coming soon, and we will definitely be given a quota for next year. The bureau has already discussed this with him."

He Zhongqiu could only nod and say, "Sister Xue, tell the Film Bureau that we will invest another 5 million RMB to ensure that we get a target."

"5 billion?"

Yang Xue was stunned. Didn’t they agree before to invest another 3 million?

On the morning of the 21st, He Zhongqiu went to the committee office and submitted three proposals.

Director Liu, who received him in the office, quickly glanced at the content of the proposal and was a little surprised.

None of these three proposals are just for show; they are all solid stuff, and it is solid stuff that will offend many people.

When these three proposals are put forward at the conference next year, a large number of people in the education, cultural, film and television, and sports circles will definitely oppose celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The second proposal mentioned national cultural confidence. This is a novel proposal. No one from the Political Consultative Conference to the National People’s Congress has ever mentioned it. This is the first time.

In the current domestic environment where everyone admires the United States and the West, this proposal has a momentum of "I will go forward even if there are thousands of people against me".

On the same day, in the United States, the Knicks announced the signing of Michael Finley.

James Jones, who was still playing in the preseason in Yanjing, was stunned by being suddenly abandoned, but there was nothing he could do. Fortunately, his salary was not reduced at all, so he took the plane ticket bought for him by the Knicks and returned to the United States.

Finley's joining the Knicks also triggered complaints from several teams and local media.

Popovich publicly said to the media: "The league is now trapped in the trap of wealthy teams. Rich teams can wave checks to build luxurious lineups and pay tens of millions of luxury taxes a year without frowning.

I think if this continues, even if a small team like the Spurs wins more championships, no fans will pay attention to it. This is very unfair.

If this continues, the living environment of small teams will become increasingly harsh, and I think some small teams will even withdraw from the league."

Executives from the Pistons and Suns also came out to support Popovich's remarks, vaguely expressing complaints about the Knicks.

With the help of media from all over the country, a wave of public opinion quickly arose in the United States.

James Dolan couldn’t stand it anymore and said on his own TV news program: “Our president, Mr. Layden, only spent $110 million in base salary to sign Michael Finley.

Listen carefully, it is 110 million US dollars, not 1100 million US dollars, and certainly not the 3000 million US dollars that Michael Jordan earned back then.

To those who complain about us, let me tell you now, it’s not that the checks you give are smaller than ours, it’s that your checks are generally bigger than ours.

The reason you failed in your competition for Finley was because of the strength of your team. Michael Finley was not optimistic about your championship prospects. That was the only reason.

Also, please remember that our salary this season is not the highest in the league, and our luxury tax is not the highest."

This wave of public opinion only lasted for two or three days and then gradually died down.

On the 23rd, the Knicks finished their preseason with five wins and one loss.

At 24 a.m. on the 10th, He Zhongqiu did not take the team's private plane, but boarded a direct flight to New York with Bai Bingbing and Tang Yan.

When booking the plane ticket, he found out that Bai Bingbing was not her real name but a stage name. Her original name was Chen Dong, and she changed it to Bai Bingbing herself when she registered.

"Bingbing, should I call you Bai Laosi or Chen Laosi from now on?" asked Tang Laosan.

"Third brother, do whatever you want." said Bai Lao Si.

Tang Lao San curled his lips and didn't call Sister Yan. Didn't he know that Lao San was older than Lao Si? How rude!

He Zhongqiu arrived in New York at 24 a.m. on the 11th, US time.

Mike Johnson and Philip drove his car to pick them up at the airport. He introduced Tang Laosan and Bai Laosi and asked them to call them Ms. Tang and Ms. Chen.

This introduction made the two girls very happy.

Although she was the concubine of the man she loved very much and her husband gave her 1% of the shares, she had no status in the family.

But this formal introduction made them feel respected.
