New Art City.
Mai Jia rarely sat back in the office, smoking wildly and looking through the information of the company's existing personnel. He wanted to recruit new people and looked for scripts. He would not be able to find them for a while, so he would first check to see what talents there were internally.
"These are all street products!"
"Not even a decent one!"
"Huh?"
Mai Jia touched his bald head, and his eyes rested on the name "Wang Jiawei", but he had no impression of it. When he saw the job title, it said screenwriter. He had been with the company for several months. In the first half of the year, there was a drama "Caiyunqu"
He was the one who wrote it.
"Has this person been to the company before? Why haven't I seen him?"
"It must have been signed by Huang Baiming. He kept Le Se and only took Gao Zhisen with him!"
Mai Jia checked the salary situation again. Hey, although he had never seen it before, Wang Jiawei was still receiving his monthly salary. He suddenly became angry and ordered the personnel department to tell Wang Jiawei to come to the company immediately! Immediately! Come to the company!
We continued to be busy, and after about half a day, the employee reported: "Boss, Wang Jiawei is here!"
"Let him in!"
I saw a tall, thin guy, wearing myopia glasses, who was half handsome and half weird, walking in.
"Sit down!"
Mai Jia stared at the young man in front of him, completely unaware, and asked: "What did you do before?"
"I'm studying screenwriting in TVB's director training class."
"Have you ever studied?"
"Graduated from Hong Kong Polytechnic!"
Yo!
Mai Jia was a little surprised. He is a college student. He is a rare high-educated person in Hong Kong. He also likes people who have studied. "How long have you been in the company?"
"Almost half a year."
"I see that your job is as a screenwriter. You haven't had a single work in half a year?"
"Well, I think this is what writing a script is like...life is sometimes very short...there is a very subtle affection between men and women...some people have missed it, but they don't know that they have missed it..."
"Stop, stop, stop!"
The good impression Mai Jia had just gained disappeared, and he frowned and said, "What are you talking about? I asked you why you don't have any works. Are you giving me a lecture? Have you ever written a script?"
"Yes, but I haven't finished writing it yet!"
"How much longer?"
"Three months..."
Wang Jiawei is very conservative.
"Come on! You spend 9 months writing a script, and I pay you to work, not for free... Listen, I only give you three weeks, and after three weeks you
If you can’t produce a work, get out immediately!”
Wang Jiawei rolled away in despair.
Mai Jiayu's anger is still lingering, damn Huang Baiming, the lottery is indeed full of fun!
Historically, Wang Jiawei worked at TVB for a while before running away and joining New Arts City.
One time Shi Nansheng was about to pay his employees and found that this guy hadn't been to the company for several months, so he found Huang Baiming. Huang Baiming immediately called Wang Jiawei and ordered him to pay his dues for three weeks.
Three weeks later, Wang Jiawei did hand in a script, which was evaluated as "a pile of waste paper"!
So he was fired.
It happened that Chen Xunqi opened a company - Chen Xunqi with a mustache, so Wang Jiawei joined his company. Perhaps because he was afraid of losing his job again, he became much better-behaved and wrote several commercial films.
Chen Xunqi and Ni Shujun acted in "The Little Fox Fairy", and the screenwriter was Wang Jiawei.
So, it’s not that he doesn’t have speed or that he can’t do business, so don’t spoil him...
At this moment, Mai Jia blasted away Wang Jiawei and continued to think about his goals. He stroked his bald head and worried, and the ashtray was filled unconsciously. Suddenly, he slapped the table: "Ha! John Woo!"
"Why did I forget about him? His term with Jiahe is about to expire!"
John Woo was the first to make a comedy film. The box office was good and he was signed by Golden Harvest. There is a drama "Funny Times" in New Art City, which John Woo helped film under a pseudonym. Tsui Hark was also introduced to New Art City by him, so we have a lot of connections.
good.
The results of the films he has made in recent years are average, but as a director, it is normal for his status to fluctuate. As long as he has a good script, he can make a comeback in minutes. Moreover, he has rich experience and can use it. It is a very good supplement to today's New Art City, and
Can restore shareholder confidence.
"Jiahe poached my people, and I poached his people too!"
The more Mai Jia thought about it, the more he realized it was a clever move and immediately called John Woo.
…………
Airport.
The American actors of "Life Is Beautiful" have completed a total of four weeks of filming and are about to return. The Chinese staff have to continue, and the filming is expected to be completed in September.
The total salary for Ed and Amy was 50,000 US dollars, Marino 4,000, and each of the others 2,000. Including the extra work, Chen Qi paid a huge sum of 108,185 US dollars in total, and he began to suffer from heartache again.
If you shoot in the United States, it won't be so expensive, but if you want people to travel across the ocean, you'll have to pay more.
"It's a pleasure to work with you. I hope we have another chance next time!"
"Chen, it's a pity that I can't eat such delicious tangerine peel chicken. Can't you tell me how to make it?"
"I'm not a chef, how do I know?"
Chen Qi and Gong Xue saw them off in person, hugged them, and reminded them: "Don't forget to contact me. In addition to New Line, other small film producers are also welcome. The more the better."
Then, Marino came closer. This Italian-American was a bit of a jerk, but after being taught a lesson, he became very well-behaved: "Boss, I hope I can still work for you! I think I am very suitable for here, please let me do it a few more times."
TV, maybe I can stay in Hong Kong and film TV series!"
"Then you have to learn Chinese, get out of here!"
Chen Qi shook hands with everyone one by one and said goodbye, and recorded their information. It will be easy to find actors when he comes to the United States.
After watching them go through the security check, the two of them came out, got in the car and left.
Xiao Mo drove northwest and arrived at a place called Lai Chi Kok. There was a "Lai Yuan Playground" here. Next to the playground was Songcheng.
Entering from the not too tall city gate tower, the main body is a small river running from north to south, with pavilions on both sides of the river, hanging willows, incense shops, teahouses, Erlang Temple, wine shops, residences, etc.
Various NPCs wearing Song Dynasty costumes are running shops, and there are also performances such as dancing, acrobatics, and ancient weddings, all of which are held in conjunction with the arrival time of the tour group.
It sounds pretty big, with a total area of ​​more than 8 acres...
After Qiu Degen took over, Songcheng became a TV station's costume studio. In the late 1990s, the amusement park next door closed due to poor business.
Chen Qi was uninterested when he saw the domestic assembly line antique town in later generations, but Gong Xue liked it very much. She has adapted to it now and will take the initiative to hold his hand and chirp like a happy bird.
There were many tourists today, and all of their attention was on the river.
Because there are many strange-shaped equipment erected in the river, wrapped in colorful protective layers. The main body is a runway, which just goes along the river. There are many that are immovable and few that can move. The ones that can move are troublesome to build and expensive.
At the end, you need to grab the rope and swing over, jump up and hit a timer, which is considered a successful challenge.
"Director Li!"
"Mr. Chen!"
In a two-story restaurant by the river, they met Li Zhuanglie. When Li Zhuanglie saw Gong Xue, his eyes lit up: "Is this Miss Gong?"
"Hello, do you know me?"
Gong Xue shook hands with him and said curiously.
"Tai Chi, I've seen it too, it's even more beautiful in real life than in the movie!"
Li Zhuanglie came up to promote business and said: "Ms. Gong, are you interested in participating in our show? You see, these equipments are almost ready. Come when the time comes. I guarantee that you will be fully exposed and be beautiful all over Hong Kong!"
"How beautiful! Let her play this falling-overboard game. If you have a talk show, you can give it a try!"
Chen Qi protected Gong Xue behind him, which Li Zhuanglie felt quite sorry for. Mainland China actors participated later, so it was still a gimmick.
Chapter completed!
