Chapter 632 The Beginning of the Collapse


    New Art City.


    Early that morning, a round-headed and round-brained little fat man came to the company with a familiar face. He had very fair skin and looked about eighteen or nineteen years old. He looked honest and wretched.


    "Eh? Ah Zhao, I''m here to see your sister again!"


    "Azhao, you kid missed class again!"


    "Your sister is in a meeting, be careful, there''s been a lot of noise recently!"


    The people in Xinyi City were obviously very familiar with him, and they greeted him one by one, but the little fat man didn''t know why. He ran to the corridor outside the conference room and was about to wait for a while. Unexpectedly, the door was kicked open with a bang.


    Then a bald man walked out angrily and pushed him away. The little fat man quickly leaned against the wall. He knew the man was the famous bald Mai Jia. In the conference room, machine gun-like curses were heard:


    "Eating the inside and outside is nothing!"


    "Why are you at the helm? How do you want the people below to see you!"


    "New Art City is finished!"


    "I just took a role and made a fuss out of it. It''s obviously your sect''s fault!"


    Mai Jia strode forward without forgetting to turn around and spray. The little fat man didn''t dare to say a word. The next second he saw his elder sister rolling out in despair, and hurriedly went to meet him: "Sister, is the end of the world coming?"


    "Don''t talk nonsense!"


    Gu Weili was startled, raised her hand and slapped her brother, then dragged him into her office and cursed: "You don''t go to school, what are you doing here? Are you short of money?"


    "It''s my friend''s birthday, please help me!"


    "You study hard and do evil things all day long. Our family expects you to be the first college student!"


    Gu Weili worked as a producer in Xinyi City. The company''s performance was not good but she still had some wealth. She cursed, but she still took out her wallet, took out a few banknotes and handed them to her brother Gu Dezhao.


    Gu Dezhao, a famous Hong Kong screenwriter, director, and actor, is currently a 19-year-old student.


    He later went to university in Canada. In 1988, Gao Zhisen went to Canada to film "The Rich and Rich". Gu Dezhao used his sister''s relationship to follow them in the filming. After graduation, he returned to Hong Kong and was promoted by Gao Zhisen to write "Beyond Diary: Don''t Bully the Young Poverty", officially Enter the industry.


    So the master-disciple relationship is: Huang Baiming-Gao Zhisen-Gu Dezhao.


    It is in line with the tradition of Hong Kong entertainment.


    There is such a group of people in Hong Kong who do everything from writing, directing, acting, and producing. They know everything, and they do a pretty good job. Gu Dezhao was one of them. At this moment, he happily put the money away and asked in a low voice: "What happened just now? Why are you eating everything inside?"


    "What does the big boss dispute have to do with you? I''m just a punching bag. Okay, okay, go back quickly and study hard!"


    Gu Weili drove her brother away.


    Then she sneaked out like a dog and went to the door of Mai Jia''s office to eavesdrop. There were crackling sounds and various curses inside, and then she sneaked back out like a dog.


    "Do you have a **** in your head? What do we, the subordinates, think when you go to film a movie for Jiahe?"


    "My eyes are open to money!"


    Gu Weili was scolding. As the boss who took the lead in defecting to the enemy, Xinyi City was already on the verge of collapse. This was an even heavier blow to morale: "Oh, I thought I could last two years, but who knew it would be so fast?"


    She was decisive, picked up the phone and dialed a number: "Fat Kent?"


    "Call me Lao Zheng!"


    "What''s your name?"


    "Old Zheng, don''t call me Fat Kent! Comrade Gu Weili, what do you want from me?"


    "Wow, how long have you been so popular in the past? You sound like a mainland cadre."


    Gu Weili was happy and said: "Mai Jia went to film for Jiahe, and New Art City is going to be destroyed! I want to go to the left, can you help me introduce you? You are a director now, I can produce for you."


    "Are you serious?"


    "Of course! OK?"


    "Okay, you are so capable, I will go find Mr. Chen right away!"


    Zheng Zeshi hung up before she could finish her words. Gu Weili was stunned for a moment without hesitation. She immediately packed up her belongings, then went to Mai Jia and slapped a resignation letter on the table.


    "you!"


    "Hey, you used to be the boss and I could tolerate you scolding me. Now if you scold me, be careful and I will sue you!"


    Mai Jia was angrily interrupted when he was casting a spell. He became even more angry and slapped the table: "Get out! Get out of here!"


    Gu Weili turned around and left.


    Mai Jia himself was like a manic and depressed grasshopper in the office. Even now, he still doesn''t think he did anything wrong, just like when he took over the shares and refused to share the profits with Tsui Hark and others, because this is his concept: artificial Birds of wealth die because of food.


    Initially, Xinyi City’s shares were: Huang Baiming 9%, Shi Tian 19%, Princess Jin and Mai Jiahe accounted for 72%, of which Princess Jin accounted for the majority.


    Now that Huang Baiming is opening a studio, half of the 9% shares are given to Shi Tian and half to Princess Jin. Mai Jia''s shares have been diluted, and the company is not making money, so he doesn''t want to play anymore.


    …


    "Dong dong dong!"


    "Please come in!"


    The next day, Zheng Zeshi and Gu Weili knocked on the left door and said, "Mr. Chen, someone is here!"


    "Ms. Gu, first meeting!"


    "Hello Mr. Chen!"


    Gu Weili is in her 30s, has short hair, is smart and capable, and looks at the legendary figure in front of her, **** it! He is too young, especially compared to his unlucky younger brother, who is a complete loser and can only assume the pseudonym Tang Niu and become the God of Cooking.


    "I heard what Lao Zheng said, do you want to come work for me?"


    "Yes, I think Xinyi City is hopeless. People go to higher places and water flows to lower places. I want to follow you." "You are not loyal in what you say. If you can jump in, you can also jump out in the future."


    "My boss is not loyal, so who can I show my loyalty to as a wage earner? If they treat me three points, I will return seven points. If they treat me like shit, why should I be a bitch?"


    Chen Qi was delighted. This temperament was very suitable for being in the industry, no wonder he was able to stand out.


    "Okay! Welcome to join!"


    He stretched out his hand, and Gu Weili quickly took it and said happily: "Thank you Mr. Chen, I will definitely be worthy of my salary!"


    Zheng Zeshi took the opportunity and said: "How about letting her be my producer? You told me to pay attention to people with disabilities. I understand what you mean. I am writing a new script."


    "Being your producer? Not good!"


    Zheng Zeshi''s smile froze, but Chen Qi said: "I happen to be short of an assistant. Miss Gu would like to apologize and work by my side first."


    Um?


    Gu Weili didn''t react, but Zheng Zeshi was surprised and quickly pushed her: "Thank you, Mr. Chen!"


    "Thank you Mr. Chen!"


    After meeting, the two left first.


    Gu Weili was confused and asked: "Old Zheng, if he keeps me as his assistant, will I be in danger?"


    "What''s the danger?"


    "My reputation is at stake!"


    "Wow!"


    Zheng Zeshi looked down upon her and said, "How do you compare with Zhong Chuhong? Zhong Chuhong has no chance even if he gives her a thumbs up. You think too much! Mr. Chen has always been short of an assistant and he is too demanding. This time, you show that he is optimistic about you. How many people want it!”


    "You sound like it''s a gift from the emperor. Should I kneel down to thank you?"


    "That''s not necessary! Remember, we don''t discriminate against lesbians here. Women hold up half the sky. As long as you are capable, you will have opportunities for promotion."


    What Zheng Zeshi said is clear and logical.


    Gu Weili is not as famous as Shi Nansheng and is very low-key.


    She first worked in New Art City, and was later poached by Debao. She also co-founded a company with John Woo. As a producer or supervisor, she launched "The Rich", "Autumn Fairy Tale", "Across the World", "Hot Detective" and so on. , the ability is very impressive.


    Chen Qi kept her because he naturally wanted to cultivate talents who could be independent and develop into big producers.


    …


    "Come here and we''ll do it together."


    "Let''s open a company, Mr. Zou will invest, and the film will be released in Golden Harvest Cinema. How happy it will be to be your own boss! Why stay there and suffer?"


    Teddy Robin received a call from Eric Tsang, inviting him to join the team.


    Eric Tsang participated in "The Five Lucky Stars" and did well under the care of Hong Jinbao. He also came up with the idea of ??starting his own company, which is the traditional satellite company model of Golden Harvest.


    Teddy Robin sighed: "I have never participated in your conflicts. I thought that given time, we would be able to return to the situation as before. It would be great if everyone was happy like before in the struggle room. Who knew we would be where we are today."


    "Mai Jia has already been filming for Jiahe, why are you still holding on? You have feelings for him, but he has no righteousness. People always have to look forward."


    Zeng Zhiwei continued to persuade: "You are so talented, we will definitely be able to do it. There are many resources here, so it is not a pity. You should think about it carefully!"


    …


    Shi Tian also received a call from Shi Nansheng, inviting him to join the Left Wing.


    He refused, but found it boring. Mai Jia''s actions made everyone feel cold, and the remaining friendship disappeared.


    Shi Tian still has shares in Xinyi City and wants to see how the company handles the wheat crops first.


    …


    Golden Princess.


    It is rare for the three shareholders to meet.


    "If we tolerate this this time, there will be a next time! Next time! We all run out to film our opponents, and we become the laughing stock of the whole Hong Kong!"


    "Then how do you deal with it? We didn''t stipulate that he couldn''t film for Jiahe. This kind of thing is tacitly understood by everyone. It''s all the rules of the world. Who would have thought that he would actually go filming?"


    "It doesn''t matter. If the three of us agree, we can hold Mai Jia responsible!"


    "Litigation? I don''t think so. How can you litigate when making a movie?"


    Historically, Tsui Hark went to Jiahe to film "Shushan", and in order to make up for his mistakes, he filmed "I Love Tuberose" for New Art City. This is a commonly used method in the film industry, and there is no lawsuit.


    But the problem now is that even if Mai Jia is allowed to take pictures, he can''t take good pictures.


    Lei Juekun said: "Mai Jia is not suitable to be in charge of Xinyi City anymore. Let''s replace him and release some shares as compensation!"


    "If that money man is willing to give up his shares, the group of seven won''t have to break up."


    "I went to talk to him. Anyway, we can''t pretend that nothing happened. He didn''t take us seriously by his actions!"


    After a brief exchange of opinions, the Xinyi City brand was still there and they were not willing to give up.


    Feng Bingzhong returned to the office, and his assistant knocked on the door and came in, saying: "Mr. Feng, Legendary Pictures has sent a planning proposal."


    "What plan?"


    He took it and took a look. It was the Spring Festival film that he had discussed earlier. Zhuang Cheng had prepared a synopsis of the story and the directors, actors, etc. he was planning to invite.


    He cheered up and read through it in order to compare it with Huang Baiming''s.


    (There will be more at night...)
