Chapter 375 Songcheng


    New Art City.


    Mai Jia rarely sat back in the office, smoking wildly and looking through the information of existing employees in the company. He wants to recruit new people to look for scripts, but he won''t be able to find them for a while. He will first see what talents are available internally.


    "These are all street goods!"


    "Not even a decent one!"


    "Huh?"


    Mai Jia touched his bald head and his eyes rested on a name called "Wang Jiawei", but he had no impression of it. When I looked at the job title, it said screenwriter. He had been with the company for several months. In the first half of the year, he wrote the play "Caiyunqu".


    "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 ask Wang Jiawei 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 writing a script is like this... Life is sometimes very short... There is a very subtle emotion 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 had 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 yet!"


    "How much longer?"


    "Three months..."


    Wang Jiawei is very conservative.


    "Come on! You spend 9 months writing a script. I pay you to work, not for free... Listen, I only give you three weeks, and you get it after three weeks. If you don’t produce works, get out now!”


    Wang Jiawei rolled away in despair.


    Mai Jiayu''s anger is still lingering. Damn it, Huang Baiming, the lottery is indeed full of fun!


    Historically, Wang Jiawei worked at TVB for a while before running away and joining New Art City.


    One time Shi Nansheng wanted 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 felt worried. The ashtray was filled unconsciously. Suddenly, he slapped the table: "Ha! John Woo!"


    "How could I forget about him? He and Jiahe are about to expire!"


    John Woo was the first to make a comedy, which did well at the box office and 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 good relationship with it. The films he has made in recent years have achieved average results, 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 be put to use. He is a very good complement to the current Xinyi City and can also restore the confidence of shareholders.


    "Jiahe poached my people, and I poached his people too!"


    The more Mai Jia thought about it, the more he felt 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.


    Ed and Amy''s salary totaled 50,000, Marino 4,000, and the others each 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 come across the ocean, you have to pay more.


    “It’s a pleasure to work with you and hope to 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 over. 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''m very suitable here. Please let me **** you 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 in the future.


    After watching them enter 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 Song City.


    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, it closed down together with the amusement park next door 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 also many tourists today, all focused 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 immovable ones and few movable ones. The movable ones are troublesome to build and expensive.


    At the end point, 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 asked 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? Look, these equipments are almost ready. Come when the time comes. I guarantee 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, and Li Zhuanglie was quite sorry. Mainland China actors participated later, so it was still a gimmick.
