Chapter 283: Huayi Annual Meeting
Evening.
Capital.
Mandarin International Hotel.
Every year when the New Year is approaching, Huayi Company will hold an annual meeting, and hundreds of people from top to bottom gather together to "fight local tyrants".
The so-called local tyrants include directors, producers, singers, actors, as well as Huang Zhongjun, chairman of Huayi, and Huang Zhonglei, president of Huayi.
Employees don't care about the final prize, it's important to share the fun together on such an occasion, which is also an important part of Huayi's culture.
And Lin Xiaoguang, as an actor, is naturally one of the "local tyrants" who were beaten, and in this "fighting local tyrants" activity, he only donated 50,000 yuan as a bonus, and there was nothing to donate.
Originally, Lin Xiaoguang wanted to go home for the New Year this year, but when he finished filming "Condor", not long after he arrived in the devil, Fei Qi asked him to go back to the capital to participate in this year's Huayi annual meeting.
Next, let us invite Mr. Huang Zhongjun, chairman of Huayi Brothers, to speak on stage with warm applause. ”
In the lobby on the third floor of the hotel, after the words of a hostess fell, Huang Zhongjun strode onto the rostrum.
"Bang pap, pap papa. ”
"Bang bang bang . ”
Seeing Huang Zhongjun on the rostrum, all the employees in the audience immediately applauded and welcomed.
In other words, there were a total of forty or fifty tables in the audience, and the people who could sit at the front few tables were basically Huayi's characters with heads and faces.
According to their status and income, Feng Xiaowan and Huang Zhonglei brothers sat at a table in the middle, while Li Bingbing and Ren Quan and others sat at another table next to them, Lin Xiaoguang sat at a table with Zong Shuai, Fei Qi, Wang Baoqiang, Su Youpeng and others, Wang Xiaoming sat with An Yixuan and others, and a table was composed of singers such as Yuquan and Xu Ruoxuan.
From here, it can also be seen that since Wang Jinghua left Huayi, Huayi Brokerage has a total of four studios and a special team.
After the reform, each studio is responsible for its own profits and losses, and Huayi Brokerage is directly controlled by Huang Zhonglei.
"Maybe many of the new brothers and sisters have not seen me before, but this time I did, in fact, I, the chairman, was very incompetent and often absent from the company. ”
"But with Zhonglei here, the company's daily affairs can be solved, and I am happy and relaxed. ”
Indeed, in the eyes of Huayi employees, Huang Zhongjun is more like a hands-off shopkeeper, he can't even call the names of some high-level executives, and often points with his hand, how are you - this is an executive who has been here for three or four years!
Looking down at the people in the audience, Huang Zhongjun said with emotion: "Just last year, Jinghua left our Huayi, of course, everyone has their own ideas, and we can't impose them on others. ”
"But some people say that her departure will make Huayi collapse half of the country, I am here today to tell you, no, her departure will not have much impact, because Huayi Brokerage Company is only a third-level company of Huayi, not so capable," paused, he then joked: "If it were replaced by me leaving, it would be almost the same!" Huang Zhongjun also said with confidence, "Huayi Company can lack anyone!"
"In addition, the two films "No Thieves in the World" produced by our company and "Kung Fu" participated in the investment won the first and second place at the national New Year box office, so I just discussed with Zhong Lei, this year's year-end award, everyone present will have a large amount of bonus, at least two thousand, I hope everyone can continue to work hard next year to make our Huayi brothers prosperous!"
"Thank you to the owner. ”
"Bang bang, bang bang. ”
"It's still the boss's boldness, I thought the year-end bonus was only a few hundred, but I didn't expect that ordinary employees have two thousand. ”
"It's not, it's worthy of being the big boss of the company, and it's really bold. ”
Hearing Huang Zhongjun's words, everyone looked at him excitedly, and everyone was naturally very excited in the face of the upcoming year-end bonus.
"Okay, everyone eat and drink well. ”
waved his hand to everyone, signaled everyone to play while eating, and looked at the prepared "fighting local tyrants" lottery, Huang Zhongjun said to Huang Zhonglei: "Xiao Lei, I'll leave it to you here, I have a dinner with Ma Yun, go first." ”
"Don't worry, I'll arrange it. ”
Following.
Afternoon.
Shunyi, a suburb of Beijing.
Brothers Grimm Equestrian Club.
Fei Qi and Lin Xiaoguang traveled together, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and came to this Jockey Club, which covers an area of more than 300 acres.
The entire Jockey Club complex resembles a Nordic town, surrounded by rivers, lush forests, and the fragrance of birds, and its overall design was invested and presided over by Huang Zhongjun, who loves architecture.
The Club includes state-of-the-art stables, a standard show jumping course, a recreational riding area and a clubhouse for Club members to meet and mingle.
The more than 60 horses that are carefully maintained here are all purebred, and they can easily cost hundreds of thousands of dollars each.
"Xiaoguang, have you ever ridden a horse?" Fei Qi put on his gear and looked at the horses in the stable calmly.
Lin Xiaoguang said proudly: "Of course, when I used to shoot "Returning the Pearl 3", I often rode horses. ”
"Then you pick a horse, let's compete. ”
"Yes, who's afraid of whom. Lin Xiaoguang was a little eager to try, and his eyes began to search the stable.
In the past, Lin Xiaoguang heard the horse trainer in the crew say that Soma should look at its head as tall and handsome, its face should be thin and less fleshy, and its ears should be small.
Although this method may be a bit generalized, overall, it is still a good Soma technique.
After going around in the horse circle, Lin Xiaoguang finally fell in love with a black horse.
"That's it. Lin Xiaoguang pointed to the black horse in front of him and said.
Fei Qi smiled: "Okay, Xiaoguang, your vision is accurate enough." However, this horse is not good, you can choose another one. ”
Lin Xiaoguang was a little puzzled: "Why can't this horse?"
"This is the chairman's favorite Swedish horse, and it is not something that ordinary people can touch. ”
"Oh, understood. Lin Xiaoguang nodded helplessly, and then asked curiously: "Except for the chairman, has anyone else ridden this horse?"
Fitch: "Of course, this horse is a famous Swiss horse, and it used to be used to go to Marseille, and it was only after he retired that he was bought back from Switzerland by the chairman. ”
"Why wait until he retires, is it that horses of the right age are too expensive?"
Fei Qi shook his head, pointed to the stable, and said: "This venue has domesticated a lot of retired famous horses, not that the chairman can't afford to buy racehorses of the right age, his purpose is to let us employees know that there are no worries after retirement here." ”
In other words, this year, Lin Xiaoguang has been staying in the crew and filming, and rarely participates in activities outside of work.
"In our Huayi, there are two people who have ridden this steed. Fei Qi said again and again.
"Who is the other one?" Lin Xiaoguang asked.
"No, it's Wang Xiaoming. ”
Lin Xiaoguang said unconvinced: "Wang Xiaoming...... Why can Wang Xiaoming ride it, but I, Lin Xiaoguang, can't ride it?"
"You were also qualified to ride, but now you don't. ”
Lin Xiaoguang was speechless for a while, chewing on the meaning of Fei Qi's words.
"Have you figured it out?" Fei Qi looked at him with a smirk.
Lin Xiaoguang said calmly: "I don't understand very well. ”
Fei Qi laughed: "Then let me tell you why, there are some things you may not know, Huang Xiaoming rode this horse to sign Huayi, which means that he is a "good horse for a thousand miles", and our Huayi is his "Bole". ”
After pondering for a moment, Lin Xiaoguang asked ambiguously: "You mean, I competed with Wang Xiaoming for "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and offended the chairman?"
"It's not okay to be offended, you are the same as Wang Xiaoming, you are the boss and Mr. Huang's favorite Maxima, but the impression is not very good, but fortunately, when you signed the contract, except for "The Condor Heroes", you didn't make any other excessive requests. ”
The two chatted for a while, and then competed in the racecourse.
Lin Xiaoguang's newly introduced horseback riding skills are really a little difficult to handle in front of Fei Qi, who has been in the racecourse for a long time.
After riding for two laps, seeing that Lin Xiaoguang always looked preoccupied, Fei Qi asked him to get off the horse and rest in the box of the clubhouse.
To be honest, Lin Xiaoguang is too communicative, and in the past few months, he has only stayed in the crew and filmed, and his experience in Huayi in the past two days has made him have too many doubts in his heart.
The two of them tasted fragrant tea and chatted without a word.
Lin Xiaoguang took a sip of tea and asked, "Brother Qi, there is a question that I have always wanted to ask you." ”
You ask. ”
"Why did we Huayi choose Liu Xiaohua and Liu Jiying as the heroes and heroines of "No Thieves in the World"? instead of our internal Huayi artists, or actors and actresses from our mainland?"
"Is this the result of the operation of Hong Kong and Taiwan capital?"
Fei Qi smiled angrily: "Xiaoguang, you are thinking too much, tell me, where did you hear this conspiracy theory?"
Lin Xiaoguang hurriedly said: "I'm just curious, I don't mean anything else." ”
"Xiaoguang, to survive in this circle, don't listen to the wind or rain. Fei Qi slowed down, and then said: "You may not know that for a long time, the Beijing-style comedy directed by Feng has only been recognized in our north, and the response from the southern audience has not been enthusiastic. ”
In order to make a good movie "No Thieves in the World", Huayi took great pains to choose Liu Xiaohua and Liu Jiying to play the male and female protagonists in order to open up the Southeast Asian market. ”
"I see, no wonder. Lin Xiaoguang nodded thoughtfully.
Fei Qi said: "It's not, don't talk nonsense about what you said just now, it's easy to make people laugh." ”
As Fei Qi said, Feng Xiaowan showed some different styles in the film "No Thieves in the World", using the two superstars of Hong Kong and Taiwan, Liu Xiaohua and Liu Zhenying, to play the male and female protagonists, changing the strong Beijing flavor in the past works, integrating multiple elements such as action, special effects, and fashion, and gradually evolving the work into a Chinese New Year feast for the whole country and even the world.
The film revolves around the confrontation between thieves and thieves, showing the confrontation between good and evil in human nature, and the ending shows the great power of kindness and sincerity.
In terms of release schedule, "No Thieves in the World" and Stephen Chow's "Kung Fu" are in the same schedule, because "Kung Fu" also has 10% of Huayi's shares, so the two movies arranged for "No Thieves in the World" to be released two weeks earlier for a win-win situation.
In the end, the box office of "No Thieves in the World" exceeded 80 million yuan, breaking through the bottleneck of previous small-cylinder movies and achieving a good response in southern cities.
Like the previous works of Feng Xiaova, the classic lines in the film became the most frequently used dialogue in early 2005.
