1979: The child's mother is a celestial being.

Chapter 93 Reports and Reactions (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)

That evening, after dinner.

Chen Fusheng looked at his wife several times, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.

"Just say what you want to say, why are you hesitating?" This time, Liu Xiaoli caught on and asked directly.

Upon hearing this, the mother-in-law also cast a curious glance at her.

However, Chen Fusheng didn't rush to speak. Instead, he first took his sleeping daughter to her crib before returning to discuss it with his wife:
"Honey...do you want to work?"

"Work? What do you mean?"

"Secretary Ding spoke with me today and mentioned your job situation, saying that the organization could help arrange one. So I wanted to ask you, my wife, what are your thoughts?"

"Can the organization still arrange a job for me in Beijing?" Liu Xiaoli was somewhat shocked.

"That will definitely be a job arranged in the capital."

Looking to the long term, Liu Xiaoli naturally still hopes to have a career, but she glanced towards the bedroom and said with some hesitation, "The baby is still so young. What will happen to her if I go to work?"

Before Chen Fusheng could speak, his mother-in-law said first, "I'll help you take care of it."

In her mother-in-law's view, her daughter is still young, and in the long run, it would be better for her to have her own career.

So he continued, "Xiao Li, it's rare that Fu Sheng has made such a contribution this time, and that's why the organization has provided you with such a precious opportunity. I think you shouldn't miss it."

"You don't need to worry about the baby. I can help take care of her. Her grandma is a teacher and will definitely come over during the summer vacation. She can also help take care of her then."

Liu Xiaoli was already somewhat interested, but after hearing her mother's words, she became even more tempted.

However, she still had some concerns and continued to look at Chen Fusheng, asking:
"What kind of unit will I be assigned to? Will it be a cultural troupe?"

"I actually think the CCTV station near the entrance is pretty good. Of course, if you want to join the performing arts troupe, honey, I can try to get it for you. It shouldn't be a big problem."

The mother-in-law hesitated after hearing her son-in-law's words. She felt that it would be better if her daughter could join CCTV, but she also felt that she should not interfere with her daughter's choice. While she was struggling with this, Liu Xiaoli spoke up again.

What could I do if I joined CCTV?

"CCTV should have its own dancers now, right? Even if it doesn't, believe me, it definitely will in the future. Maybe you'll become a dance teacher right after you join."

Liu Xiaoli was convinced by her husband's words.

It was the mother-in-law who raised a question at this point.

"I don't think CCTV is under the jurisdiction of your Film Bureau, right?"

“It’s true that it’s not under our Film Bureau’s jurisdiction, but Mom, this was promised by Secretary Ding from our superior department…”

……

The next day.

Yesterday, CCTV reporter Zhong Xiaofang's interview with Chen Fusheng and his colleagues made it to the front page of today's People's Daily.

Hongxing Steel Plant No. 2

Li Yaoguo had just arrived at work when a young colleague from his team rushed in with a newspaper, causing him to frown.

"Team leader, team leader, something terrible has happened..."

"What's the rush? Even if the sky falls, there are always tall people to hold it up. Besides, how have I always taught you? In our line of work, the most important thing is to have composure. Look at you, so impulsive and rash, what kind of behavior is that?" Li Yaoguo scolded the other party first, and then asked, "So, what serious incident happened?"

The young comrade seemed to know his team leader's temper well, so he wasn't angry and handed him the newspaper as usual: "Team leader, take a look at today's People's Daily. It turns out that the comrades from the literary and artistic front we met on the plane the day before yesterday really did something big abroad." Although Li Yaoguo had put his experience at the airport the day before yesterday out of his mind afterward, it had only been two days, so he still remembered it.

He thought he would never have any further contact with those comrades on the literary and artistic front, but he didn't expect to have news about them so soon.

Naturally, he accepted the newspaper with a mixture of curiosity and doubt.

Then, upon looking down and focusing, it was as if the enormous figure of $673.5 million had cast a spell on them, freezing them in place.

After a long while, he finally came to his senses and muttered to himself:
"No wonder, no wonder so many leaders came to pick them up at the airport that day, now I understand, now I understand!"

"Yes, team leader. I was wondering what they were so special about. It turns out that the overseas rights to just one movie have exceeded the foreign exchange value our factory has generated in three years. That's incredible. I have to apologize for my dissatisfaction with them back then."

"Yes, that's really amazing... Has 'Andhadhun' been released yet? I want to see what kind of movie it is that can sell for such a high price of $673.5 million overseas."

In fact, Li Yaoguo doesn't usually like watching movies. He prefers to ponder his research results after get off work. But this time, he was eager to watch "The Tuner".

"Team leader, I want to see it too, but I don't think the movie has been released yet... Um, I'll check after get off work."

"it is good."

"My God! Teacher Chen has done something amazing again."

"Old Xiao, what's so important that it's making you so surprised?"

"Read today's People's Daily yourself."

"Holy crap, $673.5 million!!!"

"what?"

"Comrade Fusheng and his team's new film 'Andhadhun' not only won major awards abroad, but also grossed $673.5 million. Awesome, absolutely amazing."

"Holy crap, is this for real? Let me see it too."

"The People's Daily reported it, how could it be false?"

Jiangcheng University.

"Professor Chen, is the Comrade Chen Fusheng mentioned in today's People's Daily your son?"

"Yes Yes."

"Wow, their movie alone generated $673.5 million in foreign exchange for the country! That's amazing! Congratulations, Mr. Chen, on having such an outstanding son."

"Thank you, thank you. I never expected this brat to cause so much trouble out there." Old Chen's mouth was practically splitting into a wide grin as he said this.

Yang Hongmei, from the neighboring Foreign Languages ​​Department, received the same treatment.

Moreover, since Chen Fusheng was previously in the Foreign Languages ​​Department, the discussion here is even more heated.

……

Shanghai Film Studio is proud of this.

……

The faculty and students of Beijing Film Academy were filled with enthusiasm and eager to follow suit, taking this as an example.

……

In short, everyone who saw this People's Daily article this morning was shocked by its astronomical overseas copyright price of $673.5 million.

On the contrary, Chen Fusheng, who was involved in the incident, did not have any particular feelings after reading the newspaper.

He walked into Deputy Director Shi's office with the results of his discussion with his wife last night...
