Chapter 374 Recruiting new people and looking for scripts
Late at night.
After Chen Qi had eaten and drank enough, he slumped on the sofa and watched TV.
Gong Xue snuggled into his arms and watched together. She only knew that it was TVB. A man named Luo Wen was singing there. He had a unique voice. After singing, it seemed like it was a talk show. It was in Cantonese and he couldn''t understand it.
She asked: "Have you finished working on "Tai Chi 2"?"
“The dust has generally settled, and I still want to pursue the victory.”
"How to take advantage of victory and pursue it?"
"Continue to build Xinyi City. There are still two bosses in Xinyi City. Mai Jiaese is fierce and timid. He is always scheming. He cherishes his own life when doing big things and forgets his loyalty when he sees small profits. He is not a hero! Shi Tian is in vain. , the gatekeepers are not worth mentioning!”
"Speak humanly!"
"Mai Jia is greedy for money, short-sighted, has a bad temper, and is small-minded. As long as I continue to provoke him, he will go crazy."
"So you''re going to write an article in the newspaper again?"
"Of course, you get a pen and I tell you to write it down!"
"oh!"
Gong Xue found paper and pen, Chen Qi stood up and walked around for a few steps, with deep eyebrows and a deep expression, and said: "Tell Xinyi City, I don''t want casualty figures, I just want Princess Jin!"
"Um?"
"Oh no!"
"Just write... Xinyi City''s summer show failed miserably. It''s the end of the road, and the real consequences will become apparent next year. Mai Jia and Shi Tian''s lack of creative ability has deprived them of good stories. Next year''s output will be greatly reduced, even if they can barely make a film. , must also be a bad movie.
Xinyi City is closing soon!
If I were a wheat farmer, I should take the initiative to give up my shares, retire from the world, and still leave a good name. If I were Boss Lei or Boss Feng, I should look for a replacement as soon as possible to avoid not being able to run out of movie schedules at Golden Princess Cinema next year.
Yindu and Dongfang are places where all things are competing and full of vitality. You may wish to consider cooperating with us..."
"Who are Boss Lei and Boss Feng?"
"The parent company of New Art City is Golden Princess Cinemas. The major shareholder of Golden Princess is Lei Juekkun. The Lei family is a well-established wealthy businessman in Hong Kong, operating Kowloon Construction and Kowloon Bus. Boss Feng''s name is Feng Bingzhong, and he is the second shareholder very early on. He has a lot of experience in operating theaters in Hong Kong.”
"Then what does Qiu Degen do at Li TV that you contacted?"
"Boss Qiu is..."
Chen Qi gave a brief talk. Seeing Gong Xue taking notes seriously, he asked, "Why are you taking notes?"
"I don''t want to be a woman who doesn''t know anything!"
Why!
He pinched her little face and said: "Actually, you are already among the top actors in mainland China. Look at those people, who is like you who came to Hong Kong and Berlin again and filmed in English with Americans?"
"Then I can''t stand still and stop making progress, right?"
"Hey, why are you so motivated!"
"I''m very motivated, I just don''t say..." Gong Xue pouted.
Chen Qi was overjoyed. Sometimes she really felt that her sister was so cute. She was so cute that she wanted to hold her tightly in her arms.
That''s what he thought, and that''s what he did.
After groping for a while, both of them felt a little warm. He bit Gong Xue''s ear and said, "You''re not going to leave today, are you? Are you going to get up early tomorrow?"
"You still have to get up early!"
"Are you going back again?"
"I, I... I''m afraid that people will hear me. There are uncles and aunts downstairs, and your next door, next door... ugh!"
Gong Xue''s face turned red, and before she could finish speaking, her lips were suddenly blocked.
It seemed like he was more excited.
Chen Qi is a pervert, but his sister is not. Gong Xue bit the corner of the quilt for half the night and refused to make a sound. Only the old bed creaked.
………
On the set of "The Best of Us 2". Mai Jia is losing his temper again, and everyone is not surprised.
Xu Guanjie called it a day and left without saying a word. Zhang Sijia also gave up persuading. Teddy Robin was unable to unite all parties. The entire crew had no enthusiasm at all and they all looked forward to finishing the film as soon as possible.
A few days ago, the crew stopped working.
Mai Jia personally took part in the promotion of "Brothers in Tragedy", but came back dejected.
This movie is actually pretty good, with historically high box office numbers. It stars Mai Jia and Wu Yaohan. It tells the story of two losers who fight against rich men and pursue a goddess. It’s a comedy...
The reputation that New Arts City has built is there, and there are still many viewers buying tickets.
A week later, the film earned 6 million at the box office, which was a good result. However, the promotion was completely unsatisfactory, and the traffic was sucked away by "Tai Chi 2". A group of foreigners were there to promote it, which made neutral audiences also watch it.
What''s even more outrageous is that this film has been labeled "boring to death" by foreigners, which has quite a negative impact.
"Click!"
"Take a rest! Get ready for the next game!"
At the end of the scene, Teddy Robin called out. Just when he was about to say a few words to Mai Jia, the bald man ignored him and got directly into his car to rest.
He sighed helplessly and couldn''t help but think about his future.
"What''s the point of staying like this?"
While the crew was silent and taking a rest, a car drove up from a distance, the door opened, and a person got out.
Teddy Robin was startled and rushed to meet him: "Mr. Feng!"
This person is Feng Bingzhong mentioned above.
It was no small matter that the second shareholder came in person. Teddy Robin quickly called Mai Jia out.
Feng Bingzhong looked at the mess on the set and looked very unhappy. He came up and scolded: "Look at what you guys look like! A few months ago you were high-spirited, but a few months later you were as depressed as a chicken. It''s just a small setback! The seven-person group separated. Don’t you know how to make movies?”
“…”
Mai Jia lowered his head and remained silent.
Feng Bingzhong cursed and then comforted: "I''m here on behalf of Princess Jin to tell you to relax and don''t listen to those gossips. We will definitely support you.
Do you have any plans for next year? How many films? "
"There are currently two!"
"Two?"
Feng Bingzhong wanted to get angry again, but held back and said: "A theater chain needs at least 25 films every year to support it. New Art City produces 6-8 films every year, which is the most popular at the box office. You are the core of the theater chain.
The most important thing now is to regroup, recruit talents, and build a creative team as soon as possible.
When "The Best of Us 2" is finished, focus your energy on this and don''t let us down! "
Historically, the Xinyi City Seven-member Group disintegrated, but Tsui Hark still produced under the Xinyi City brand. In addition, he also trained two capable actors, Gao Zhisen and Lam Lingdong. At most, he produced 14 films a year.
Now Tsui Hark, a major producer, has left, and so has Lam Lingdong, leaving Xinyi City almost an empty shell.
The summer season is not going well, so no wonder Feng Bingzhong came over in person.
"Why don''t you stop doing this? Let''s finish filming first!" Teddy Robin sighed.
"I know!"
It was rare that Mai Jia didn''t lose his temper and nodded fiercely.
He is one of the most overrated guys in the Hong Kong film industry. His performance is not bad, but in other aspects, it can only be said that he was lucky and the team is so awesome.
He was not a fool. He knew that if there was no improvement, the company would be finished. He said to Teddy Robin: "You don''t need to talk anymore, I know what to do. When hiring new people, look for scripts! When hiring new people, look for scripts!"
