A movie script on the Kosti-NF. A story.
Mr. Wintertund, the second deputy general director of the Kosti-NF radio station, decided to have some tea.
Mrs. Quicktalker entered the office. She had a movie script in her hands.
Yesterday Mr. Barefoot , a cultural observer from the staff of a government newspaper (chairman one of the of the Writers' Associations) came to see Mr. Wintertund - with a gift. He writes books, relying on the support of large or small groups (he can take a younger girl as his assistant, who hopes to become not a prostitute, but a writer). In the prefaces to his books, Mr. Barefoot lists a dozens of people to whom he is grateful. And he gives books to the widest circle of people. It turns out free advertising. It is very comfortable for everybody, and everyone respects Mr. Barefoot very much.
Mr. Wintertund involuntarily drew attention to the shoes of Mr. Barefoot - it seems they were made of crocodile skin ('Probably in Italy, at the congress of biographers of the great Russian writer, he bought them. Several million euros were allocated for the organization of this congress. We must take care of the development of European culture. They are organizing the Venice Film Festival, and we - the Congress, in another major Italian city .... ").
Mr. Barefoot told, handing over the book, a lot of news. They planted a much state budget money for the "Muravyov-Amursky and Stolypin" literary prize. The State Fund for Cinema Support was well financed.
- It would not be bad to divide the prize into two, - Mr. Wintertund supported the elegant conversation, - One prize "Muravyov-Amursky", and the second award - "Stolypin". And find money to fully finance both awards ...
Kosti-NF periodically sends correspondents to this State Fund for Cinema Support and makes reports. So, Mr. Wintertund has long been familiar with the head of this Fund in absentia.
But what is a radio reports from a financial point of view?
Kosti-NF is moving to the forefront of the information front, so it's time to make real money.
Mr. Barefoot handed over a new book, the interlocutors exchanged compliments and telepathic mutual obligations to advertise each other and to create each other a favorable conditions for making money.
Mr. Barefoot went further - to donate his new book.
Mr. Wintertund, as soon as Mr. Barefoot left the office, immediately summoned the Mrs. Quicktalker. Mrs. Quicktalker received an order from him to urgently compose a movie script for submission to a competition in the State Fund for Cinema Support.
Kosti-NF is used to making money quickly. Especially when you consider that there are more than enough semi-free hostwriters who are ready to work only for only the hope of becoming a journalist or writer or other cultural figure.
And now the Mrs. Quicktalker came to Mr. Wintertund's office with a thick intertwined movie script.
Of course, Mr. Wintertund did not read the script ("Let's read the numbers on the banknotes!"), but he leafed through the script, made sure that the sheets were not empty, and then called the second deputy head of the Fund and warned about the visit of Mrs. Quicktalker in an hour.
An hour later, Mrs. Quicktalker with a script in hand was sitting in the office of Mr. Tenpercend, the head of the Fond.
- There is a very good film project that the entire cultural community is waiting for!
Mr. Tenpercend portrayed a willingness to listen:
- Tell me!
According to the rules of such a visit, a short conversation is needed, which testifies to the mutual respect of the participants in the meeting.
Mrs. Quicktalker decided to briefly tell the plot of the script.
- A group of oligarchs found in the work of constantly annoying author a mention of the Novocherkassk events of 1962. They have much more information capacity than the author, who is forced to publish his works on a platform for free reading, and they decided to organize the filming of a film on the same topic, but with their own interpretation of events. What the public doesn't need to know, to hide. And redirect the public's attention to tertiary details and fictitious nonsense.
Mr. Tenpercend immediately lost interest in the Mrs. Quicktalker and her script and started calling someone by cell phone:
- Tell, tell! I'm listening carefully!
Mrs. Quicktalker decided to be laconic.
- For the filming of the film, a half-Russial - a half-Western director, Mr. Candy-Sweetsky, was invited. He put his wife Cherskaya on the main role (the role of a local powerless pawn) and began filming. The pawn runs, rushes, the whole film demonstrates violent emotions. This is what our youth needs for patriotic education.
Mr. Tenpercend was quietly talking to someone on the phone, periodically looking encouragingly at the Mrs. Quicktalker.
- When the film was ready, - Mrs. Quicktalker continued, - the events began in Belarus.
At the mention of Belarus, Mr. Tenpercend tensed, stopped talking on the phone and began to listen attentively, exploring, probing by his eyes Mrs. Quicktalker.
- The main idea of the film by Mr. Candy-Sweetsky was: "The tsar has mercy, but the huntsman does not have mercy." Or, in other words, if unpleasant events happen, not the influential people, who give the orders, but the local powerless pawns are to blame. It was a very timely film during the events in Belarus. With the help of this film, director Mr. Candy-Sweetsky and the oligarchs supporting him brought down a wave of Belarusian protests and directed the energy of Belarusians into a constructive channel. Happy end! The main person is making a phone call Mr. Candy-Sweetsky (who is in Italy), to the film festival, and congratulates him on his success. Then he goes to the detention center and treats the opposition leaders with sandwiches and tea. We must take care of world culture!
- How much money does it take to shoot a movie? - Mr. Tenpercend asked.
- One hundred and fifty million rubles!
Mr. Tenpercend nodded, letting him know that he had heard.
- Multiply by two (taking into account inflation), and, as a result, a three hundred million rubles are needed.
- The motto of our Fund is 'efficiency not less than ten percent'.
- Yes, of course!
- Bring! Application for the inclusion of the script in the competition program!
- We will not postpone it. The different papers will have to be delivered repeatedly, but I will bring the application today!
- Bring! I'll be here until six in the evening! Here is the application form. You can just fill it out.
Returning to her native radio station, to the office of Mr. Wintertund, Mrs. Quicktalker accurately told about the visit.
They filled out the application form.
Mr. Wintertund took out from the bottom drawer of the desk a beautiful leather folder with a thick envelope inside. The application was packed easily into the folder.
- Two! Years the folder was there, and now it came in handy, - Mr. Wintertund explained.
- Eight will be delivered additionally, - Mrs. Quicktalker agreed, - We will print copies of the film script and deliver.
- On the way back, open a bank account. They won't give three hundred million in cash! - said Mr. Wintertund to Mrs. Quicktalker, who was going out through the door.
Mr. Wintertund turned on the electric kettle. "Live (yourself) and let others live!" - Mr. Wintertund remembered the proverb. "I must not forget to pass this proverb over to the department of explanatory and educational inserts for practical purposes!"
