"Xiaobao, what I said at the beginning is now fulfilling my promise!"

In the private room of a café on the radio road, Chen Jialuo was struggling to persuade the man in front of him.

"Jia Luo, I'm going to supervise a new drama on TVB tomorrow, do you think I can't go?"

……

If outsiders hear the conversation between Chen Jialuo and the two of them, I am afraid they will be confused. One is called the other party's Xiaobao, and the other is called the other party's Jialuo. Is this the confrontation between the protagonists of "The Legend of Deer and Ding" and "The Book of Swords and Enmity"?

Red Flower Club Chen Helmsman VS Heaven and Earth Aoki Hall Incense Master?

With black-framed glasses, a beard and slightly literary long hair, the person in front of Chen Jialuo is Wei Jiahui, who will be known as 'Gold Medal Producer', 'Wei Zu', and 'Wei Xiaobao' on TVB.

At the beginning, there was a rhetorical question, which was called: How god is Wei Jiahui.

His screenwriting ability and the level of producer have made him famous in the film and television industry in Hong Kong.

Wei Jiahui was admitted to the Xiangjiang TVB screenwriting training class in 1981, and he was valued by Liang Jianzhang and Gu Zhaofeng in the screenwriting training class, and then participated in the adaptation of TV series such as "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Legend of Deer and Ding", and was nicknamed "Wei Xiaobao".

Then it didn't take long for him to serve as the editor and reviewer of the TVB TV series, and he can be regarded as Chen Jialuo's real 'senior' and 'senior brother'.

The relationship between the two was also very good in Tvb, last year Chen Jialuo re-emerged with two movies and became popular, and Wei Jiahui became the creative director through his own efforts. It's just a short period of five years, and it's not easy to be mixed up with TVB.

It was about these two years that Wei Jiahui became the creative director and supervised the production of a drama called "Intolerable Love", which caused a sensation in Hong Kong, and even broke the ratings record and became one of the "gold medal producers" of TVB.

Whether it is future dramas such as "Intolerable Love", "The Great Era" or "Senior Brother Xinzha", or movies such as "Peace Hotel" and "Lonely Men and Widows", it is not difficult to see Wei Jiahui's excellent screenwriting ability and camera skills.

Since Chen Jialuo wants to set up his own film company, he must have his own team. And the most important of them is that there needs to be a talent like Wei Jiahui to partner with.

It's like Mai Jia found Shi Yan and Huang Baiming, which supported their small 'struggle room', and then Xu Xian, Zeng Zhiwei and others joined to gradually form the 'Seven Monsters of New Art City', which completely broke the film pattern of Xiangjiang.

However, it seems that Wutai Mountain is not a place of luck for him, the last time he came to be kidnapped, this time he came to poach people and failed.

Since Wei Jiahui has a new drama series that is about to start filming, it is naturally impossible to engage in the 'Red Flower Club' with him, not to mention that he was just promoted to creative director last year, how can he easily move his nest!

"At the beginning, we said that we would be rich and noble, and don't forget each other. Chen Jialuo raised his eyebrows lightly and said: "Although you are the creative director of TVB, you may not be as fast as making movies in terms of making money and expanding your popularity!"

"I know that Mr. Chen, you are now gaining fame and fortune!"

Wei Jiahui joked: "But don't you still go out with Tvb? Do you know how many people who play movies are people who go out wirelessly?"

As soon as he heard this, Chen Jialuo hurriedly waved his hand and said: "You have to go, stop, I know that you are loyal, you can write some scripts or come over to help me make a few films in my free time in the future." ”

Wei Jiahui said: "Then don't worry, I will definitely find you first if I have a good idea in the future." ”

In fact, last year's Debao Cinema Line's "The Thief of Heaven" starring Yang Ziqiong and Lin Zixiang, the script was created by Wei Jiahui, and the box office also entered the top ten grossing movies in Hong Kong.

"You just have too big a heart, and you have to go on your own just now, if I were you, I would definitely enjoy the shade under the big tree in Xinyi City. ”

When Chen Jialuo contacted him at the beginning, Wei Jiahui couldn't believe that the other party was actually preparing to be his own boss and go it alone.

Chen Jialuo frowned and smiled bitterly: "I can't dig you up now, I don't know what to do." How many people would you recommend to me?"

Wei Jiahui pondered: "I want to think about it. ”

Fortunately, Chen Jialuo said that he was just engaged in an independent film company, if it was a regular film company such as New Arts City and Golden Harvest, Wei Jiahui would definitely say that you go to TVB to pick and choose from department to department, and if you can dig up, you can pack it all and take it away.

The so-called independent film company, to put it bluntly, is just to create a shooting team, as for the rest?

Of course, Chen Jialuo hopes to be able to create a very standardized film company in one go, but that is completely impossible. To put it simply, the preparation of a film alone is very important, if there is a standardized production department, then once the script is approved, the overall work of casting, behind-the-scenes personnel and other aspects will be established immediately.

For example, those who are specifically responsible for attracting investment and advertising, and then preparing various scenes and even props as small as a needle, etc., will rotate like gears.

Of course, this is something that Chen Jialuo can't do now.

Even a small independent film company is enough to give Chen Jialuo a headache. Even if he doesn't have to think about how many dramas he opens at the same time and how many departments he needs, even if he just sets up a team of his own, it will be very difficult.

As we all know, after the shooting of a movie is completed, it needs to be handed over to the dubbing department, special effects department and other post-production. When the editing is complete, the copy is handed over to the theatrical department responsible for arranging the screening......

And this series of cumbersome steps, Chen Jialuo omitted. He now only needs a separate production department, while the rest needs to be done with the help of some large companies.

From a young age to a big one, Chen Jialuo is not in a hurry, he is still young, he has time, and what he needs now is actually more experience, the experience of being in charge of a team and a company.

He also has some connections with the team members, such as Wu Huo, assistant director Wu Huo, director of photography Liu Haitang and art director Zhang Shuping, as well as his assistant Xu Chang and others.

These people all have a characteristic, that is, they belong to free bodies, and they are not people from the new art city or film studio.

On the other hand, Shen Zhongwen, the art director of "A Chinese Ghost Story", Chen Fang, the costume designer, Ruan Jingxiong, the screenwriter, and other people, are all their own people who have signed a contract with Xinyicheng. These people, Chen Jialuo obviously can't take them away, unless he wants to be as depressed as Wang Jiawei and leave by himself~

Although there are a group of people in contact, it is not possible to form a real creative team. Because of this, Chen Jialuo hopes to join hands with Wei Jiahui to sit in the 'Red Flower Society'.

Wei Jiahui thought about it, and suddenly looked at Chen Jialuo and said quietly: "Jialuo, how is the relationship between you and Du Qifeng?"
