Chapter 614: Magic City Film Festival

"We originally had two interns in our studio, who had driver's licenses, and they used them as drivers, with a salary of 2,000 a month. After Manager Zhang found out, he directly dismissed the intern, and recruited two full-time drivers who said they had 20 years of experience, with a salary of 10,000 yuan per month...... He said that drivers are the same as public relations, and they usually keep them like wasting money, but the salary of 10,000 yuan a month is to buy professionalism, and to buy the processing and judgment made in the face of crisis, which cannot be saved. Han Jue said.

"That's right. Wang Zhi nodded: "In the first half of the year, several of my friends thought about digging Zhang Jinshan, but they didn't succeed. After we started the [Tinder], we also thought about digging him up, but then we thought that he had a grudge against you, so we didn't try it. I didn't expect to be poached by you now. You've earned it. ”

While eating hot and exquisite food, Han Jue talked to the friends at the round table about the new general manager of the studio, Zhang Jinshan.

After several days of negotiations and more than a dozen tug-of-wars, Zhang Jinshan finally agreed to Han Jue's invitation. After listening to it, everyone sighed that the original opponent became an accomplice, and life was really impermanent.

After Pei Qing listened to a series of Zhang Jinshan's deeds after entering the studio, he put down his chopsticks and said worriedly: "Dig him into the studio, your heart is too big, aren't you afraid of luring wolves into the room?"

"Guan Yi and Manager Qin looked at it, it would be fine. Song Yin said.

"Hey, your words sound a little unlucky, what is that called?—— flag!" Pei Qing complained.

"First, I don't call for feeding. After Song Yin said this, he actually had an extra momentum out of thin air, which was eye-catching. He glanced at Han Jue on the side, in exchange for Han Jue's admiration and appreciation. Song Yin continued to say to Pei Qing: "Second, Guan Yi and they are not fools, they must have a backhand to give such an important position to Zhang Jinshan, and they are not afraid that Zhang Jinshan will make small moves." If Zhang Jinshan is smarter, if he wants to mix, he will also make some achievements as soon as possible and submit his name. ”

Song Yin, who has already opened a live house, is new to shopping malls and has his own experience.

"That's a good point. Han Jue nodded. But I don't know if this good means that Song Yin's [first] is good, or that [second] is right.

At the round table, lawyer Li, who has frequently appeared in the recent popular variety show "Trainee Lawyer", is very personable, eating fruit slowly, and said unhurriedly, Zhang Jinshan's contract for joining [Han Jue's Studio] He and several partners have carefully read it, and all aspects have been considered, Zhang Jinshan is quite calm, and he also took the initiative to add some terms and conditions. Everything that should be prevented has been prevented, and if Zhang Jinshan dares to mess around, there will be absolutely no good fruit to eat.

Everyone applauded, shouted mighty, and shouted, "Brother Li debut!

Li Lu's ass moved uneasily, and he was very panicked: "Hit Jiri?

Lao Han said that it is a kind of encouragement and support, which is mostly used by fans to say to celebrities. ”

"Whew!"

After laughing and playing, Xia Yuan, who was sitting opposite Han Jue, suddenly asked, "Did you recruit in the end?"

"What?" Han Jue was confused, and he didn't remember who tortured him to extract a confession.

"Those two drivers, did you recruit them? ”

"Of course. Han Jue nodded.

Everyone was very surprised, and they all looked at Han Jue with the eyes of [I didn't expect you Scrooge to be so magnanimous].

"I didn't expect you, a miser, to be so magnanimous. Xia Yuan was surprised.

Han Jue almost knocked the people in front of him one by one, and he explained: "Even if I am usually a little thrifty, I don't know how to spend money. ”

"I agree with the first half of the sentence, I don't agree with the second half of the sentence," Xia Yuan said to Han Jue, "If you can spend money, then when you make the next movie, the company will give you 100 million, and you will spend them." ”

Han Jue was speechless, eating, and pretending to be deaf.

Jalens was very righteous, saw Han Jue's embarrassment, and spoke his heart for Han Jue: "It's too stingy, isn't it? What can 100 million do? Find a few actors and it's gone!" After Jalens finished speaking, he asked Han Jue: "Right?"

Han Jue rolled his eyes, where did he dare to make peace, for fear that Xia Yuan would set aside 300 million on the spot for him to make a blockbuster.

Small-budget movies are small and big, and if they are successful, they will earn more than ten times or dozens of times, which sounds quite powerful and seems to make a lot of money. But after a blockbuster movie is successful, the income only needs to be doubled or tripled, and the money earned is amazing enough.

After all, there are only a few movies with hundreds of times the income like "Time and Space Traveler", otherwise it would not have been so popular before. News that makes headlines is made headlines precisely because they are rare.

Xia Yuan has always wanted Han Jue or Director Sun to make a blockbuster. Because only by making a blockbuster and making money is the way to really show hard power in the industry.

Although he is still young, less than a year old, his pockets are very full.

"Time and Space Traveler" made them a lot of money, and several shareholders took out a part of the income to invest in the company, and the company's confidence was enough at once, and they were ready to let go of their hands and feet to make some big moves. However, Han Jue and Director Sun are both waste dim sum that doesn't cost much money, the cost of the two new movies is very small, and there are not many people used, so the money is almost not spent. Let them make a big production and spend money hard, one says they don't like it, and the other says they don't dare. In stark contrast to Jalens on the other side, who doesn't treat money as money.

Jalens has been losing money for several years in the industry, constantly being deceived and cheated, and as a result, a "Time and Space Traveler" has all been earned. Jarenz, who made a profit from making movies for the first time in his life, felt that he had not entered the wrong industry, but that he had developed in the wrong direction, and his talent was not in directing, but in discovering talents - he discovered Han Jue, which was enough for him to blow for a lifetime. So Jalens not only set up a photography base in the United States, but also cooperated with the American government to carry out a new film force support project, vigorously invested in new directors, held competitions, brought the winners to China, and opened the door to exclusion in the Chinese film and television industry.

At the beginning, the name of the company was named [Tinder], which meant to Han Jue that the movies produced by the company were the source of his heating, and the fantasy and fun that a spark could ignite the prairie fire. For Jarens, the company meant the rebirth of dreams and the beginning of ambitions.

To this day, Jarens, who runs (plays) in China and the United States, has been marketed as "The Light of a Country" and "American Leader of the Chinese Film Industry", and there are younger brothers who want to come to him every day, and foreign directors come to seek investment every day.

If in the past, in the face of the pleas of these compatriots, Jalens would have heard such words as "counterattacking the Chinese film industry!" and "making the Chinese people with their eyes above the top look good!", he would have been overjoyed and invested hard. But now that a regular company has been opened, Xia Yuan is tied to Jarens, and he strictly controls investment matters. Newcomers who come to the door can only follow the investment process and pass it in order to obtain an indefinite amount of investment.

But even after investing in more than a dozen in this way, the company still has plenty of money.

"Have you thought about making your next movie?" Xia Yuan asked Han Jue.

"I haven't thought about it yet. Han Jue shook his head painfully.

Han Jue, who has a book full of movie inspiration, said that he really didn't know what movies to make, and everyone was no longer surprised by this, and while eating, he could resist the urge to beat Han Jue.

Wang Zhi gave advice: "When people are middle-aged, it is better to shoot something evocative." ”

Xia Yuan said that it was very good, "If you create with the past as the theme, you will be full of narcissism if you don't get it right." It's okay to write a song, it's not long, and the song "Song for Myself" is just right. It's easy to express excess desire when making movies, and I've seen a few directors shoot their youth, and they are greasy when they shoot it, sad about bullshit, and narcissistic all over the screen. People really have three kinds of problems when they get old - boasting, preaching, and complaining. ”

"Movies of memory...... That's a direction, I want to see. Han Jue pondered for a while, feeling a little interested.

Jalens was not afraid of death, and suddenly came out and asked Xia Yuan: "Are you preaching like this?"

"To preach is to tell you directly what is right and wrong. I don't judge right or wrong about a thing, I only judge whether I like it or not. If I don't like it, I usually only ask [Is your dominant hand left or right]," Xia Yuan put down his chopsticks and asked Jarrens, "Is your dominant hand left or right?"

Jalens got to his feet, ran out of the box, and said he was going to settle the bill. Despite his touching, eccentric, and self-styled personality, Jalens has survived intact and intact to the present day, and still retains the instinct for biological danger.

Everyone talked and laughed and ate for a while before leaving the box and going to the next place to drink tea and play board games.

I'm looking forward to the opening of the [Magic City Film Festival] tonight.

Today, July 20, is the opening day of the [Magic City Film Festival].

After a year, the [Jalens Dream Group] came out for team building again.

A year has passed, and everyone's lives have changed more or less.

Mr. Li appeared in the variety show "Trainee Lawyer", and his popularity is comparable to that of a small idol who has made his debut in a large company.

Jalens has become a figure in the film industry of both countries, and he will continue to be the leader of the American population in the Chinese film and television industry until the next film fails.

Song Yin opened a live house, specializing in folk performances, which is extremely hot and has become a major den in the folk music circle. On the day of the opening, Han Jue also went to the stage and took turns to perform with Banbi folk songs. Han Jue finally took out two ballads from the legendary folder, one "Rice Shop" and one "Love in the Dust". As soon as the two songs came out, everyone didn't allow him to step down.

Pei Qing has completed the exploration of style and evolved his own personal characteristics, unlike the paintings hanging on the wall of Han Jue's house, Pei Qing's style has never appeared in the art world. The shape is weird, the color is absurd, and it challenges the audience's aesthetics from the first glance, it is very bold, and the skills are not too mysterious in it, but people can't help but stare at it, and they still think about it when they go home after reading it. Pei Qing is galloping on the road to becoming a master.

Xia Yuan completely changed careers, and while doing filmmaking, he wrote what he wanted to write. She said that she still has an idea, and plans to spend a few years recording Han Jue's life one after another, and write a biography of Han Jue sometime in the future.

Han Jue's changes are manifold. In particular, his career is divided into music, film, and painting. In short, it can be summed up in terms of prosperity. But emotionally it's hard to say for the time being. In order to prepare for the worst of his relationship, and for the faster and better development of the studio, Han Jue and Guan Yi discussed for a few nights before choosing Zhang Jinshan. In a few more days, several strategies were developed that might convince Zhang Jinshan.

......

At some point in the afternoon, Guan Yi knocked on the door and came in, telling Han Jue that it was time and it was time to go.

Hearing this, Han Jue immediately stood up and knocked down the row of mahjong standing in front of him.

Pei Qing: "Despicable villain!"

Jarenz: "Shet, all my colors!"

Xia Yuan: "...... Leave your hands behind. ”

Han Jue hid behind Guan Yi and walked away with a long smile. When I went to the hotel in the studio, I was going to get ready for the red carpet opening in the evening.

Han Jue, as a popular player across the music and film worlds, and he still came with his works this year, he has a place on the opening red carpet in the evening. Of course, the opening space was limited, and he was the only one in the entire crew who was invited, and Gu Yu and other actors in the same crew were not able to come in.

If it weren't for the fact that the sponsorship on his body needed to be exposed, and there was also an opening movie to watch after the opening ceremony, Han Jue would not have planned to take this trip.

Walking the red carpet alone Han Jue already has experience. At the [Golden Melody Awards] last month, Han Jue walked the red carpet alone. So Han Jue easily changed clothes, put on makeup, went downstairs, got in the car, got out of the car, waved his hand, walked the red carpet, took pictures, and choked the host.

The nights at the end of July feel more stuffy than the nights at the end of June. Han Jue didn't linger too long, making the host's smile stalemate for a while, and Han Jue entered.

It was held in the largest theater in the studio, the venue was empty and cool. But the people walking around inside were still very lively, making the cool air not so cold.

Han Jue didn't see any acquaintances. Compared with his network in music, Han Jue really doesn't have many acquaintances in film and television.

But he recognized a lot of people. After all, it's a bite to eat movies, and many movie-related classes have not been made up in vain - if the actors don't know each other, how can they find the right actors for the roles when they are going to make movies in the future?

But even so, Han Jue still didn't know many people in the venue. Because a considerable number of people wearing fancy clothes and formal clothes are foreigners, Han Jue's make-up classes have not yet been made up in foreign film and television classes.

Han Jue was also happy not to talk to anyone. Listening to the scene mixed with Spanish, English, German, French, cherry blossom language, and Huaxia language, Han Jue walked slowly in the crowd, watching, as if looking for something.

As he walked, Han Jue saw Zhang Yaohui, who was surrounded by people and looked very eye-catching. Han Jue hurriedly paused and turned his head sideways to avoid his ex-girlfriend, as if he had seen his ex-girlfriend.

But after walking a few steps, he hid beside someone who was larger, and quietly looked around Zhang Yaohui.

At the time of the [Golden Melody Awards], Zhang Yaohui said that he wanted Han Jue to take care of Zhang Yiman more, at that time Han Jue alertly avoided this trap, and now he knows that Zhang Yaohui was teasing him before, Han Jue still has a little thought in his heart - thinking about whether he can see Zhang Yiman.

I haven't found it yet.

Han Jue could only cautiously turn around and walk away.

As a result, when he turned around, he saw another ex-girlfriend, Weng Nanxi.
