Chapter 239 The head of the Li family
After dinner, Xia Haoyang went to his father's study on the second floor. Since it was a study, there was naturally a large bookcase with a lock. The surface of the bookcase was made of dark glass. It was hard to tell what was inside when looking in from the outside. books. Xia Haoyang would not know that the bookcases were full of comic books. As a child born in the 70s who studied in college in the United States, Xia's father is an out-and-out comic book fan, especially Superman and Batman. Most of his big bookcase contains original DC superhero comics.
Xia Haoyang didn't have the habit of prying into privacy, so he wasn't curious about the big locked bookcase. He just sat quietly on the sofa, closing his eyes and waiting for his parents to come in.
After a while, his parents came in together. Xia Haoyang opened his eyes with a serious expression.
"Yangyang, how is the development of your studio recently?" Mom always speaks softly.
"It's okay, just average." Generally speaking, children who hang out outside will give the same kind of answers to their parents' questions like this, and will not deliberately complain or show off.
"Average is fine. Average means it's not bad." Mother, who has gone through all kinds of ups and downs, obviously also understands the true meaning of life.
"Actually, the head of the Li family in Yuhang, Li Yuye, wants to meet you. The head of the Li family used to be in the Ministry of Education. After the two sessions this year, he was transferred to the Ministry of Culture as the second-in-command. During the two sessions, the head of the Yancheng TV station targeted you. The head of the Li family informed you our."
"Slow down, Ministry of Culture? Who is bigger than the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television?" Xia Haoyang is not very clear about these channels and power distribution.
"The Ministry of Culture is the Ministry of Culture, the highest agency for cultural administration, and a functional department of the State Council; the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television is just the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television, an administrative agency that is only responsible for the management and supervision of radio and television media." Dad Xia said in a stiff tone .
"So you mean the Ministry of Culture is in charge of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television?" Xia Haoyang wanted to know the clear superior-subordinate relationship.
"The Ministry of Culture is one of the functional departments of the State Council, and the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television is an administrative agency directly under the State Council. Theoretically, the Ministry of Culture has the power to provide business guidance to the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television. However, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television is a ministerial-level agency. Moreover, Culture The Ministry, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, and the Press and Publication Administration also have the Central Propaganda Department." Xia's mother explained patiently.
"So there is no superior-subordinate relationship between us. In other words, my film was rejected by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, and I can't find Li Jiajia's supervisor, right?"
"China is a human society. If your relationship is strong, he can interfere. Although it is not a direct superior or subordinate unit, the key point is that the relationship network is not strong." Xia's mother said with a smile.
"Okay, then why does Master Li want to see me?"
"Most of our Kuaiji Sixteenth Family are engaged in business, and those in politics are mainly the Yuhang Li family. There are also a few members of other families who are engaged in politics. However, the state arranges most of the children of our Kuaiji Sixteenth Family in education, culture, diplomacy, health, publicity and other units. Business It’s taboo.”
"Afraid of collusion between officials and businessmen?" Xia Haoyang smiled.
"In fact, our cooperation with the government is the biggest "collusion between government and business." When the country was first established, the reforms or policies in rural areas and cities were not exactly the same. In rural areas, we carried out land reform and overthrew landlords, but in cities, we did not Private capital instead protects and supports national entrepreneurs. As long as you stand in the right direction, the country did not target us. And since the reform and opening up, we are also some of the first to develop using the dividends of the policy. "Mother Xia's Explain more patiently.
"Then you just said that it is taboo for children of our Sixteenth Family to enter the Ministry of Commerce?"
"It is not the country that is taboo, but there are so many provinces and so many people across the country, because they are afraid that others will gossip. The state's support for our private capital is public, and there is no need to taboo. You can understand that we are the legendary red capitalists. "
"Well, I'm stupid and don't really understand these things." Xia Haoyang explained self-deprecatingly.
"The Li family has been making contributions in the fields of education, culture, publishing, and diplomacy since the founding of the People's Republic of China. Among our Sixteenth Family in Kuaiji, the Li family is the only one who does not engage in business and has no big business, but they are the political umbrella of our Sixteenth Family. . The old patriarch Li Huasheng can be said to be the teacher of today's generation of leaders, and is deeply respected and loved by all leaders. Although the current patriarch is younger than the current leaders of the central government, he grew up in Zhongnanhai and has as much influence as The network is not bad." Xia's mother introduced the Li family's situation in detail.
"Then what does the head of the Li family want from me?"
"Actually, it's because of my care and concern for you. I heard that your reputation this year has not been very good?" Xia's mother finally got to the point.
"It's okay, but there were some remarks against the girl group a year ago, which prevented my girl group from successfully participating in the Spring Festival Gala." Xia Haoyang explained.
"Are you okay? I heard that many people scolded you on the Internet." Xia's mother looked directly at Xia Haoyang and said.
Xia Haoyang did not avoid looking at each other, and said calmly: "It doesn't take a year or two to get scolded on the Internet, it's nothing."
"Isn't there any conflict of interest with anyone? For example, Yancheng TV Station?" Xia's mother was straightforward.
"I really don't think it's a conflict of interest. I just refused two interviews with other TV stations. If this is worthy of being targeted and blocked, I can only smile."
"It's such a small matter. Logically speaking, it won't go online. Do you want to talk to Yancheng TV Station?"
"No need, if you block it, block it. I am also prosperous, and Xinan TV has a good relationship with our studio." Xia Haoyang said indifferently.
"Okay, what the head of the Li family means is this. Their Ministry of Culture has a series of promotion activities for ancient Chinese culture this year. If you can participate, you can either write some positive works; or you can produce some promotional MVs, such as your daughter Group singing, so that he can promote your work openly and openly, including your artists. If there has been such cooperation and process on the official side, those media will also pay attention to propriety when guiding public opinion and treat you The publicity orientation is favorable. "Mother Xia was very patient from beginning to end.
"It sounds good, and it's a good thing, but my work may not meet his requirements." Xia Haoyang thought for a while.
"Then this is your problem, but I believe my good son will be fine." Xia's mother said with a smile.
"Okay, you can visit the head of the Li family when you return to Yancheng this time. In terms of seniority and kinship, he is your grandma's nephew. Just call him cousin. If you have any specific questions, you can ask him in person. ." Said Dad Xia, who had never spoken.
"My mother and Li Yuye grew up together. He took good care of my mother when he was a child. It is appropriate to visit this uncle. And although the Ministry of Culture is not directly under the leadership of your entertainment industry, I believe that any issue in the entertainment industry should be at least It can be solved by looking for him in official circles." Xia's mother said with a smile.
"Okay, I understand. This time when I return to Yancheng, I will find an opportunity to visit this cousin. I will go to him if I have anything to do in the future. Thank you, Mom and Dad."
