Early February.

Dream factory, conference room.

Li Dawei, Wang Jing, Liu Weiqiang, Wu Yusen, and Zhang Guobin were sitting in the office for the first strategy meeting of the new year.

Zhang Guobin was in a suit and leather shoes, sitting at the main seat with a cup of coffee at hand. Wu Yusen sat on the right, Li Dawei sat on the left, Wang Jing and Liu Weiqiang sat below Li Dawei and Wu Yusen respectively.

"We have a small meeting today about DreamWorks' shooting plan for the first quarter." Zhang Guobin took a sip of coffee, put a few scripts next to his hand, and said.

Li Dawei, Wang Jing and the others all had serious expressions...

Unlike most companies at this stage, which arrange annual plans, Boss Zhang brought the management experience of later generations to the 1980s and divided the one-year work plan into four plans, one for each quarter.

Wu Yusen leaned lightly on the sofa with a relatively relaxed expression. Unlike Li Dawei and Wang Jing, he only had a cooperative relationship with DreamWorks and did not involve superior and subordinate management. If Zhang Guobin hadn't said that he would be asked to arrange films in the new year, he would not have to attend DreamWorks.

Factory meeting.

Of course, Director Wu respected Zhang Sheng very much, and Zhang Sheng was always available.

Fatty Wang picked up the water cup, took a sip of tea, and studied Zhang Sheng's expression. Zhang Guobin threw the two scripts to Li Dawei and said simply: "Awei, it's yours."

"Okay, Zhang Sheng." Li Dawei was wearing a white shirt, shaving his hair, took the script, took it away, looked at the title, and said with a wry smile: "It's "Happy Ghost" again, "Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers", eh..."

"The Legend of Five Billion Inspector Lei Luo"?"

"Zhang Sheng, there is a new movie!" Li Dawei looked surprised.

Zhang Guobin knocked on the table and said seriously: "Why don't you make money if you have money?"

""Happy Ghost" and "Province and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers" can still be blockbusters as long as they don't become outdated. DreamWorks will make them every year and they will last forever."

Wu Yusen sat next to him with a wry smile on his face.

Fortunately, I didn't bring "A Better Tomorrow" with me.

Zhang Sheng still has a conscience.

However, he recalled that when "Movie Weekly" reviewed "Plan A", it mentioned Zhang Sheng's production style of only making high-quality movies and not making money-making movies. He couldn't help but curse in his heart, "Silly boy, what do you know about Zhang Sheng? What do you do?"

Don’t even understand!

"The Legend of Inspector Lei Luo" is a well-known corruption-themed work in Hong Kong. The movie's story is based on Lu Le, the first Chinese chief inspector who fled ten years ago.

In this day and age, it was very courageous to shoot this script!

If you were an ordinary film director, you wouldn't even dare to write, let alone shoot.

But Zhang Guobin’s background is strong enough, so just shoot until you’ve made money!

Just out of politeness, before starting filming, I should fly to Taiwan and visit Chief Inspector Qian Hua.

Just in time, Zhang Guobin decided to go to Taiwan at the end of the month, and made a special trip to thank Gang Leader Chen. Without Gang Leader Chen to open up the release channel in Taiwan, "Plan A" would not be able to make a lot of money in Taiwan.

"These two copies are yours." Zhang Guobin took out two more scripts, threw them in front of Wang Jing, and said loudly: "Fat boy, take a good look!"

"You know it, Zhang Sheng." Wang Jing said with a sly smile on his lips, and took the script cheesily. Last year, "Ten Millions Fighting Ten Millions" he filmed at DreamWorks did well at the box office, and he quickly rushed to produce it.

The film "King of Thieves" once again achieved a box office of 7 million. Considering its shooting cost and time alone, the box office-to-revenue ratio is extremely impressive.

Of course, his standing is still much lower in front of Li Dawei, the pillar of DreamWorks.

After all, Li Dawei is already a well-known director in Hong Kong with two gold-selling series and a cumulative box office of over 50 million, while Wang Zai is new to the industry and is a bit younger.

After getting two movie scripts, he opened them and said with a smile, "I knew it! It's a gambling movie again!"

"Boss Zhang and I really have the same vision as heroes. I also want to make a gambling movie, hehehehe."

The Fat Boy King has no objections to continuing to make gambling movies, and he is happy to see the results. One of the two scripts has "God of Gamblers" written on it, and the other "The Supreme Being".

The titles of the films are all powerful and domineering.

However, Fatty Wang was drinking tea and looking around with mung bean eyes, but he didn't read the script.

Betting on movies...

This old business,

Get it at your fingertips!

Fat Boy Wang even thinks that Zhang Sheng does not need to write scripts. If he is given one night, he can produce three more gambling movies!

"Aqiang, your share is yours." Zhang Guobin threw out another script. Liu Weiqiang, who was sitting under Wu Yusen, changed his expression. He immediately stood up excitedly and asked aloud: "Zhang Sheng, I Can we also film?”

Although, before he received the notice and entered the conference room for the script meeting, he had some vague speculations in his mind, and Zhang Guobin had spoken to Wu Yusen in advance that he might train Liu Weiqiang to film, but in the face of the sudden opportunity, Liu Weiqiang was still a little overwhelmed. Believe it, and ask a question.

Zhang Guobin laughed and waved his hand kindly: "Don't get excited, sit down and chat."

Liu Weiqiang took the script and sat down. The script was called "Carmen in Mong Kok".

Zhang Guobin held the coffee cup with both hands and said cordially: "Aqiang, you have been working at DreamWorks for more than a year and have filmed several movies. You are growing very fast."

"Although you are not a professional film director, how can a director have a career? This industry only values ​​talent. Regardless of your background, as long as you can make good movies, the audience will recognize you as a great director."

These words inspired Liu Weiqiang, a middle school dropout, to the point where he squirmed on his chair.

"This script is not difficult to shoot, but it is very difficult to film it well. I have assigned you an assistant director. You can go find him outside later."

"You two work together to make the movie a success."

What Zhang Guobin handed out was not just scripts, but opportunities to become famous one after another. For most directors, the most rare thing is not scripts, but money.

The script that Zhang Guobin dropped represents Hong Kong paper, Hong Kong paper, and Hong Kong paper.

This is the most rare value.

Liu Weiqiang held the script in his hands, stood up again, bowed and thanked: "Thank you, Zhang Sheng. I will definitely work hard to make the movie well and live up to your expectations."

Wu Yusen was smiling and nodding in his heart.

Liu Weiqiang could barely be considered half of his apprentice, and he was the one who recommended newcomers to DreamWorks. Seeing that Liu Weiqiang had the opportunity to direct, he couldn't help but be happy for Liu Weiqiang.

Zhang Guobin turned his chair and handed the last script to Wu Yusen: "Director Wu, take a look?"

""Bloody Heroes"?" Wu Yusen saw the name of the script, and his heart felt a little itchy. He immediately opened the script and said loudly: "I'll take a look first."

"Okay." Zhang Guobin gave Wu Yusen full respect. The script he gave to Wu Yusen is also one of his masterpieces. It is tailor-made for the current Wu Yusen.

"Zhang Sheng!" Li Dawei shouted from the side: "This play is a classic. It involves real characters. Will something happen?"

After experiencing the baptism of "Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers" and "Pretty Girl", he is already confident of filming "Inspector 500 Million". Zhang Guobin smiled and said: "If anything happens, I will bear it."

"With Zhang Sheng's words, I feel relieved." Li Dawei sighed.

"In addition, the goal for the first quarter is not to finish filming all the scripts in hand. DreamWorks' style has always been to pay equal attention to quantity and quality. While ensuring quality, we will count as many films as we can." Zhang Guobin's gaze.

Glancing around the conference table, he was not worried about Fatty Wang's filming speed. He was worried that Li Dawei would catch up with the schedule and shoot three movies in three months. This sentence was equivalent to telling Li Dawei. In addition, Wu Yusen and Liu Weiqiang only had one movie.

There is no need to worry about not being able to film the movie.

"As for casting, the list determined by the company is attached to the back of the script. The roles marked with an asterisk must be used. Others can be submitted for replacement. You decide the missing roles."

"If there is anyone you can't invite, come and tell me, I will send someone to invite you." "Don't worry, Zhang Sheng."

"Understood, boss."

Li Dawei, Wang Jing, and Liu Weiqiang nodded in agreement.

Zhang Guobin turned to look at Wu Yusen. Wu Yusen closed the script with a "snap", raised his head and said: "Zhang Sheng, I took this play."

"I have to go back and read the script again. I feel that this drama is very well written."

"OK, let's adjourn." Zhang Guobin put down his legs, stood up with a water glass in hand, said aloud, and followed the group out of the conference room.

He left the conference room and went straight back to the office. As soon as Li Dawei, Wang Jing and the others entered the office area, they were swarmed by artists who had been waiting at the door early, asking about the role arrangements.

Capital is at the top of the film food chain, followed by directors and executives, and then stars and artists...

Artists are not even qualified to participate in DreamWorks' strategic meetings, but the boss will always consider them.

"Brother Qiang, I'm Ah Wei. I used to be a freelance writer. I wrote scripts and submitted them to film companies." Wang Jiawei was wearing toad sunglasses and standing in the office area. His movements were a little restrained. He stepped forward to find Liu Weiqiang and stretched out his hand.

Self introduction.

Liu Weiqiang immediately realized his identity and reached out to hold his hand: "Just call me Ah Qiang."

He looked at Wong Kar-wai, always feeling that he was older than him, and Wong Kar-wai was discovered by DreamWorks when he was submitting articles to DreamWorks, and reported to the boss's office. The boss had a talk with him and directly recruited him as a deputy.

Director. Historically, the classic "Carmen in Mong Kok" was also a joint effort between Liu Weiqiang and Wang Jiawei. Liu Weiqiang was responsible for the screen shots, and Wang Jiawei was responsible for the script and direction.

Both of them are famous directors in Hong Kong in the future and have great directing talents. However, now that Liu Weiqiang has already had experience and is appreciated by his boss, the two of them have fallen apart.

An interesting thing is that Wang Jiawei's first personal directed film and Andy Lau's first starring film, this time Carmen in Mong Kok also has Andy to contribute a wave of green acting skills.

"Are you interested in having lunch together?" Liu Weiqiang chatted with Wang Jiawei, made a gesture, and looked toward the door. Wang Jiawei readily agreed: "Okay."

"By the way, why do you have to wear sunglasses in spring?" Ah Qiang and Ah Wei took two steps away and suddenly turned to look at Ah Wei and asked. Ah Wei pushed up the glasses frame without changing his expression and said calmly: "Because

Cool!"

…

"Wow!"

"It's also a gambling movie, but Zhang Sheng actually wrote it so wonderfully?"

night.
Chapter completed!
