Day after day, day after day;

The weekend passed quickly, and the time came to Monday, July 1st.

Zhao Punctual is to go to work as usual, and strive to be a successful [worker, soul of worker, part-time worker is a human being] in the new era.

In recent times, Zhao Punctual has basically not traveled on business, and usually orders in the Forbidden City Pictures. There are no big things, and he usually solves them on the spot or gives instructions, and the specific things are in charge of the two deputy directors, Zhang Genda and Chen Xin, who are really not very many.

Brewing a cup of rich Pu'er tea and smelling the fragrant glutinous aroma, Zhao Punche began to flip through the documents on his desk, which contained a summary of the work of the previous months, the work currently being carried out, and the progress of the work that was being prepared.

"Iron Fist of Shame" was released at the end of April, during which the release was postponed for a month, and now on July 1, it took two months for the movie to be released smoothly, and the final box office was locked at 1.026 billion.

"Tip of the Tongue", as a well-made column that inherits food culture, has been broadcast in the "Charm Record" column of Yang Ma.

Although it is only a few short episodes, the ratings and word-of-mouth are good. Yang Ma has already made a decision to start preparing for the second season.

is the same as the first season, the investment share is still 1:1, and the chief director is still Chen Xin, deputy director of the production department, as the chief director, but Yang Ma sent a producer. The good news is that investment has increased from $6 million in the first quarter to $10 million.

Zhao Punctuality's only requirement for Chen Shi is not to [destroy the series].

He remembers that "Tip of the Tongue Season 1" of the original time and space received a high score of 9.5 on Douban, which directly amazed the Chinese people.

The second season filmed by the original cast also scored 8.6 points, which is a very good result.

Until the third season, the team changed blood. The new team failed to try new things, and the score went straight to a low of 3.8 points. Directly consume the entire lifespan of this precious IP.

Zhao Punctual doesn't dare to have too many expectations for the IP of "Tip of the Tongue", at least make it smooth for four or five seasons, even if the reputation declines at that time, it will be regarded as the end of his life.

"Yu Huanshui" has long ended, and it is the end in the true sense, and it is absolutely impossible to have a second season.

These three projects are the votes brought by Zhao Puheng when he joined the Forbidden City. While helping the development of the Forbidden City, it also allowed him to stand firm, regain lost ground and even reach a higher level.

As the progress of Zhao Punchui's promotion to director, it is also promoted as a plan for the second half of the Forbidden City. He also came up with three projects.

First, the food and life variety show "Please Give a Meal". As the younger brother of the same mother as "Tip of the Tongue", the theme of this show caters to the preferences of Yang Ma. At present, it has entered the filming stage. The main MC is He Huohuo, a famous domestic host, and his partner is Chang You, a well-known comedy star in the circle.

And then there's "Blooming Hearts". In a sense, this film can be seen as a continuation of "Yu Huanshui", which is currently being filmed, and Forbidden City Pictures occupies a 20% share.

"Bite of the Tongue Season 2" is considered half, and the other half is "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb". Speaking of this movie, Zhao Shoushi remembered something and directly dialed Zhang Genda's internal phone and asked him to come over.

Zhang Genda was working in the public office area outside, and when he hung up the phone, he came in directly, and sat down directly and asked without seeing it: "Leader, what are your instructions for me?"

Zhao Shoushi took out a few A4 paper-bound documents from his bag and handed them to him, saying, "Look at this, this is a new movie that Director Zhang is preparing." ”

Oh? Don't ask, it's either Zhang Mou or Zhang Xun.

Zhang Mou: That's a veteran director? Ten years ago, that was the existence that dominated the box office? Even if you can't be in the first place for a few years? Box office returns and overseas revenues are all guaranteed to be profitable.

The latter is a cutting-edge director, needless to say, the only [Billion Directors Club Member] is enough to illustrate the problem.

Especially since these two are still father and son, they complement each other. It doesn't matter who they are new to. As long as the wind is released, it is the existence of chasing in the circle? Some are capitalists shaking their hands and scattering banknotes in order to obtain investment quotas.

Zhang Genda knows very well, with Zhao Punctuality's relationship with the Zhang family? Since you took the initiative to come up with this plan? It means that you can participate in the investment. And? Obviously, this is something to do on your own.

Zhang Genda was not worried at all, and was even a little eager to try. At the regular Monday meeting some time ago? Was it Zhao Punctual who asked him to elaborate on the outline of "Please Give a Meal" at the meeting? It's a little limelight.

Not only that, but also the promotion of the launch of [Please Give a Meal], as well as the follow-up funds to recover "Tip of the Tongue". This seems to be all your own credit? But Zhang Genda is very clear? Competence matters? But the platform is more important.

As the saying goes, "People who mistake the platform for their own skills often die miserably. 】

Of course, this platform is not talking about the Forbidden City, but about Zhao Punctuality. Because of Zhao Punctuality's relationship with Hallie, because the project he came up with was enough to make Yang Ma tempted, he made all this happen.

Some people are indispensable, like Zhao Punctuality, and some people can be replaced, just like themselves.

For the credit sent to the door, of course Zhang Genda will not turn away, he wants to go further and win the director of the second production department that is about to be spun off, and it is when he needs results.

I took the document with both hands and couldn't wait to start flipping through it. I watched the biography of the characters and the synopsis: returnee Qin Fen's online marriage journey, there were constant jokes along the way.

Either he met a homosexual person again, or he met a salesman, Qin Fen was a little disheartened until he met Liang Xiaoxiao. Liang Xiaoxiao fell in love with her husband and fell in bitter love, but this time she came out to meet Qin Fen purely after following the arrangement of her family. The two, who no longer intend to see each other again, share the best secrets of their lives to the fullest、、、

Zhang Genda frowned and asked, "Leader, this plot is a bit familiar." ”

Zhao Shoushi knew that this product was worried about the problem of 'plagiarism'. After two dots, he said helplessly: "You look at the cover first." ”

Zhang Genda was in a hurry to check the content just now, and he really didn't pay attention to what was on the cover. Turning it back, he looked at a few words on the cover that were not too big, and murmured: "Don't disturb if you're not sincere?"

Thinking of what he had just watched, Zhang Genda, who was somewhat understanding, widened his eyes and asked: "That blind date variety show "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" is preparing to make a big movie?"

"Yes. Zhao Punctual nodded in acknowledgement, and after a little thought, he continued: "You are not an outsider, so I won't hide it from you." In the future, someone named Li Wei will join our production department, and his position is the same as yours, he is the deputy director. This "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" is the project support he helped us to win from the main station. ”

Zhang Genda's heart was cold, and he vaguely understood something, and he asked in a low voice: "This Li Wei is the relationship between Taili." ”

The information that Li Wei is Li Ling's son must not be hidden, and Zhao Punctuality does not need to hide it. Directly nodded in acknowledgement: "Yes." Li Wei is the son of Li Ling, deputy director of Imperial Satellite TV, who used to be a director in 4A Company, although he is young, he is very powerful. This is a decision I made unanimously after communicating with Mr. Jiang.

As for this "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb Big Movie", it was originally co-produced by Imperial Satellite TV, Craft Media, and Qingyu Media, and it is a cinema movie with great potential to become a hit. Originally, we didn't have our share, but because we were selected by Forbidden City Pictures for the [Four Seeds] plan of the main station, the leaders of the station gave us instructions.

Therefore, with the hard work of Deputy Director Li, he finally captured the most potential "If You Are Honest Do Not Disturb the Big Movie" in Taiwan, although it is only a 10% share, it is rare enough. After all, Li Wei is a newcomer, and he is not familiar with many processes at work, and you, as an old man, must get along well. ”

"Okay, I got it. Zhang Genda subconsciously responded. I could see that he was really lost. As an ordinary migrant worker with no background and only background, his biggest hope is that after the boss in front of him is promoted, he can smoothly take over the position of director of the production department he left behind. Or he said that he was the director of the second production department of the spin-off.

But now it is clear that that wish is going to be frustrated. Because the airborne is a second generation, and he is also the son of the current leader of the deputy director of Imperial Satellite TV. Obviously, the deputy director who was appointed at the beginning of the job was only a transition, and the target must be a higher level of 'director'.

There is only one seat above, and when others sit, they can only stand. This made Zhang Genda feel a little sad in addition to helplessness: sure enough, the background is the most invincible bug.

Zhang Genda was depressed in his heart, but he couldn't tell it, mainly because he knew that it was useless to say, and no one could change the reality.

Because the deputy director of Imperial Satellite TV is qualified to participate in the suggestion of "which unit can break through]. This kind of character is the force that Forbidden City Pictures strives for.

It is said that this Li Wei came with a project, even if he is the second ancestor who came empty-handed, as long as his father is the deputy director, then he can sit in the position of deputy director. No one will refuse the friendship of the deputy director at this critical moment.

Zhao Punchu had long guessed that Zhang Genda would be disappointed, after all, this was the emotional outpouring he really should have, and the current situation was in line with expectations.

Of course, he wasn't embarrassed, he just wanted to see if he could keep his sanity in such a situation.

It's not bad, Zhang Genda's eyes have helplessness, depression and a little sadness, but there is no resentment.

Zhao Punctual leaned on the chair and said with a smile: "What, there is resentment in your heart?"

"Nope. ”

Zhang Genda denied it without thinking about it, but in the face of Zhao Punchui's teasing eyes, he lowered his head knowing that he had been seen through, and whispered: "It's not a grievance, it's just a little bitter." After all, this opportunity that is about to come to you has been lost. It all came down to, "

Zhao Punctual didn't wait for him to say, and asked rhetorically: "Lao Zhang, remember one sentence, what you can't get can only mean that it doesn't belong to you, except for strength, it has nothing to do with anything else." Especially with me. ”

Zhang Gen was stunned for a moment, but he also nodded in agreement, although the tone was not high, but his tone recovered a lot: "I understand this truth, don't worry, I will be able to adjust my mood soon, and it will not affect my work." As for that Li and Deputy Director Li, I will get along well with him. ”

"No, you don't understand. ”

Zhao Shoushi knocked on the tabletop, making a crisp sound of 'dong dong', and in this well-proportioned rhythm, he spoke: "I said that let you get along well is to let you set an example for him, and also to set an example for more than 100 people in our production department."

He Li Wei can bring the project, but you Zhang Genda can't bring it? He Li Wei can make achievements, but you Zhang Genda can't do it? You are the old man of our Forbidden City, if you let a newcomer snatch your position as the director of the production department. You look good on your face, and we don't look good on our face. ”

Zhang Genda was originally a little nervous, but after hearing the obvious reminder of the 'director of the production department', he suddenly woke up, and he was a little excited when he raised his head directly: "Leader, what did you mean just now that I still have a chance?"

Zhao Shoushi pointed at Zhang Genda and said, "Whether there is a chance or not is not up to me, but to yourself." It's all about grades, and that's the answer I give you. Don't think I'm pouring you chicken soup. When I talked to Li Wei a few days ago, I said the same thing. If he can't get results, don't say that his father is a deputy station, even the king of heaven is not good. ”

Zhang Genda was overjoyed, smiled bitterly in an instant, pointed to the bound book in front of him, and said timidly: "Leader, I have always supported your old subordinates, you can treat everyone equally." The producers of this "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" are TV stations, Craft Media and Mr. Pei's Qingyu Media, and the most important thing is your screenwriter, which is obviously your plate.

Even if he, Li Wei, is the son of the deputy director, he is not qualified to gnaw a piece of meat from this so quickly. Obviously, he had your support. ”

Zhao Shoushi's eyes shrank, looked at Zhang Genda with a fierce look, and asked, "You are doubting me." ”

"No, no, of course not. ”

Without waiting for Zhang Genda to finish speaking, Zhao Shoushi interjected: "You guessed right, it is indeed with my acquiescence that Li Wei can win this project." And that's what I'm looking for your ears for. ”

Zhao Shoushi pointed to the bound book in front of him: "Mr. Su of Qingyu Media intends to transfer 5% of the investment quota of "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb". I'll give you four hours to sign the transfer contract before the afternoon meeting. Is there a problem?"

"Guaranteed to get the job done. Zhang Genda was very excited. Qingyu Media: That's Pei's business, who is Pei always that? That's the pillow person of the leader in front of him.

It's just a ferromagnet and a magnet relationship, and what do you say about whether you can win it or not? It's just a formality.

At this moment, Zhang Genda finally understood Zhao Punctuality's true intentions. He wanted the benefits of Li Wei joining the Forbidden City, but he didn't want this product to be too showy, which would only make the production department look too mediocre and incompetent.

And he was pushed out to fight Li Wei in the ring. Of course, you can't tear your face, but keep a state of fighting without breaking and chasing each other.

As for the still illusory opportunity, it depends on their respective strengths.
