Chapter 75: Recruiting Assistants
After Chen Yongren finished answering Jiang Shuying's question, a student from the directing department stood up and asked.
"Hello senior, I am also a directing student who is about to graduate, and I like the senior's movies very much, I have watched each one many times, and I keep watching the films.
However, each of your films is different, not only in terms of genre, but also in terms of the theme of the film, etc., I would like to ask Mr. Chen Yongren, what is the method or reason that makes you have so many ideas, and then how do you manage to maintain the level of each genre at a high level?"
Chen Yongren, who asked this question, was also a little speechless in his heart, I can't tell you, buddy, I'm an open party, right? There are a lot of works in the previous life, and the types naturally can't all be the same.
Of course, this is just Chen Yongren's personal inner complaint, and of course he can't say that on the surface.
Chen Yongren responded with a smile: "I am a person who likes to try and take risks, and I am also a person who likes to be eclectic, and I don't like to be defined as a certain type of director, I think every director has his own stubbornness, which is also my stubbornness."
This last stubbornness made them devote themselves to their favorite movies and favorite themes without hesitation, just like wandering in their own dreams, in which we have countless ideas.
And I'm a person who usually likes to read books and dream, no matter what I dream, I will think about whether there is a possibility to achieve it, and I will take certain actions.
For example, if I have a good idea today, I'll build a complete script around that idea, and then I'll see if it's worth filming and so on.
Therefore, my company is also a group of dreamers who love to dream and have dreams, and dreams have infinite possibilities, so I think about it all the time, thinking about how to innovate, so when I think of it, I will take risks, I will explore and turn it into reality, so the types of my films are diverse, and then treat each work with heart and heart!
Only by constantly trying more ideas and dreaming more will I maintain my creative passion and not stand still, so for you, I may be successful, but for me I have only made some small achievements, the road ahead is still very long, and I still maintain a heart of awe for the future.
I think that's why my work is constantly changing, and fortunately, there are people who like it, and that's my biggest comfort and motivation.
There is no shortcut to success, only down-to-earth efforts, hard work, and improvement of one's professional ability, then in fact, it has been successful.
Then in fact, I keep trying, but also want to bring a little freshness to Huaxia films through my personal efforts, and let everyone see the benefits of innovation, only in this way will we not stop at following the trend, only by constantly innovating and launching more creative works, can our Huaxia films get out of their own way. ”
After Chen Yongren finished speaking, the students in the audience also gave warm applause.
This classmate was a little puzzled, but he also seemed to understand and figure it out, and said: "Senior, your dream is very great, and your original intention is also very good, learn from you." ”
"Thank you. However, it is still necessary to combine your own situation and walk out of your own way. Chen Yongren responded with a smile.
Later, another student asked: "Senior, what you mean by the stubbornness of the director is 'uncompromising?' is like many directors who try different styles after doing well in a certain genre, and don't like to be defined by others. ”
Chen Yongren said: "Yes, the director should be an imaginative person, if he is limited to one, then the achievements will be limited, but this is not absolute, it is still necessary to do a good job of making achievements, and then try new things, instead of fishing for three days and drying nets for two days." ”
"Senior, what type do you think you are best suited for, and what type do you like the most?" the classmate continued.
Chen Yongren thought for a while and said with a smile: "The most suitable should be science fiction or action genres, and my favorite is comedy." In the future, I will make a lot of science fiction movies, because science fiction is actually a space for imagination, and for me, a person who loves to dream, it is very suitable for my imagination. ”
The exchange meeting was very enthusiastic, and everyone's enthusiasm was very high, from 3 pm to 6 pm before the end of the event.
After the event, Chen Yongren did not stay long, and after greeting the teachers, he rushed to the airport and flew back to Beijing.
…………
When I got home, it was already past eleven o'clock in the evening.
The next day, Chen Yongren went to the company to take a look at the post-production of "Iron Man", although the film was finished, but there was still a lot of work to be done in post-production.
There are at least a few people left in post-production for "Iron Man", so it can't be released in the short term. It's November 8th, less than three months before the 2009 Chinese New Year.
If you want to make a work, especially if it is released during the Spring Festival, it is impossible to make a big production, and there is not enough time.
And Chen Yongren wants to make a movie that takes less time, is completed early, and will be released during the Spring Festival.
However, Chen Yongren suddenly remembered that his new assistant had not been recruited yet, so he called Wang Yu: "Brother Yu, you can help me find another assistant!"
"If you don't say that I want to ask you, do you have any requirements?" Wang Yu asked.
"There are no requirements, just be obedient, female, strict mouth, just know how to do things. Chen Yongren replied.
“… Yes. Wang Yu rolled his eyes on the other end, which was not required yet.
And Wang Yu's work efficiency is also very high, after all, the big boss has spoken, and he still has to speed up, so he called Chen Yongren back that night and said that he had found one, and he was scheduled to come for an interview at ten o'clock tomorrow morning.
………
At nine o'clock in the morning on the 9th, in the parking lot downstairs of the headquarters of Longteng Media, a BMW car drove in, and after parking, a sweet-looking long-haired girl got out of the car and took the elevator directly to the fiftieth floor.
This building is Longteng Building, with a total of 55 floors, this office building was bought not long ago, and the office space of several companies under Longteng is currently in this building.
It can be said that it is the place where countless people who dream of becoming stars and working in the film industry want to come the most, and it also brings together countless talents.
And this long-haired girl's name is Zheng Tong, and her purpose in coming to Longteng is very simple, that is, to find a job.
Longteng Media has a very large demand for talents, so countless people come to apply for jobs every day, but there are very few people who pass, not to mention Chen Yongren's assistant, a position that countless people are jealous of, as early as after Huang Huishan was promoted, Chen Yongren's assistant position was vacant, and countless people were targeted, but they didn't see any more recruitment, so many people gave up.
Zheng Tong used to be a supervisor in a foreign trade company, but he resigned for some reasons and never found any suitable job, so he was unemployed at home.
Her father is also an executive in a company, and his family conditions are not bad, so he is not in a hurry to find a job.
And coincidentally, her father and Wang Yu are friends, when Chen Yongren called Wang Yu yesterday, Wang Yu and Zheng Tong's father happened to be together, so after learning that Chen Yongren was going to recruit an assistant, he recommended his daughter to Wang Yu, after further understanding Zheng Tong's situation, Wang Yu felt quite satisfied, so he called Chen Yongren back that night and said that he had found someone, and also informed Zheng Tong to come for an interview tomorrow morning.
And Zheng Tong received a call from his father, saying that he was telling him to prepare and go to the interview tomorrow. Before she could finish speaking, she immediately replied to her father that she could find a job and asked him not to worry about it. But after listening to his father, he immediately agreed.
At the same time, she is also very excited, because she is also a fan of Chen Yongren, and she is very happy to think of working next to her idol.
The elevator stopped on the fiftieth floor, and Zheng Tong walked to the door of the office of the personnel department and knocked on the door gently.
"Please come in. After hearing the people inside call in, Zheng Tong walked in.
"Hello, are you here for the interview?" asked a man in his thirties.
"I'm here for an interview, and I made an appointment with Mr. Wang Yu last night. Zheng Tong replied.
"It's Zheng Tong, Mr. Wang has told me, let's sit in the meeting first, Mr. Chen and Mr. Wang are still in a meeting, and I will take you over later." ”
"Okay. Then Zheng Tong sat down and looked at the office environment here.
Not long after, the employee took Zheng Tong to Chen Yongren's office.
Mr. Chen's office is on the 55th floor, and this floor is the office of the company's top executives.
After arriving at Chen Yongren's office, the employee knocked on the door, and then walked in with Zheng Tong, who followed behind and took two deep breaths to make himself less nervous.
The office inside is simple, except for a few filing cabinets, two desks and a tea table and sofa, that is, two paintings hanging on the wall.
After taking Zheng Tong in, Chen Yongren looked at Zheng Tong and then nodded to the employee of the personnel department.
The interview officially began.
First, a brief introduction of yourself.
"My name is Zheng Tong, a native of Beijing, with a bachelor's degree in business administration from Peking University, and I have also worked in the drama center before, and my last job was the supervisor of a foreign trade company........."
An hour later, the interview ended, and Zheng Tong walked out of the office with a smile. Chen Yongren was also very satisfied with her, and asked the employee from the personnel department to take her to go through the onboarding procedures.
Not long after, Wang Yu came over and asked, "Ah Ren, the interview is over, how are the people?"
"It's just her, it's hard to find someone who has work experience and is willing to be an assistant. Chen Yongren said.
People with work experience, who have also worked in management positions such as supervisors, can accept assistant positions, but very few are newcomers who have not been in the industry for a long time, but Chen Yongren forgot that he is not an ordinary person.
If you really want to let out the wind and say that Chen Yongren is going to recruit assistants, countless people must be rushing for interviews.
After the assistant's matter was resolved, Chen Yongren once again focused on the new film plan, and now the smoke of the Chinese New Year file has begun to fill everywhere.
In the end, Chen Yongren decided to make a low-budget comedy and release it in time for the Spring Festival.
