Chapter 154: Sister Hong Kong and Sister Ya
Kowtow for recommendations, ask for collections.
――――――――――――――――――――――――
After pondering for a while, Wei Xiong felt that He Jiajin might be able to try, but he didn't make an absolute decision immediately, the most important thing now is to find a director for the film, similar to Zheng Yijian's situation, the original director of this film, Liu Weiqiang, only started to serve as an official cinematographer last year.
Obviously, he doesn't have enough skills to direct a movie independently, and Wu Yusen in front of him is obviously a good choice, although Wu Yusen's style is different from Liu Weiqiang, he doesn't think it's a problem, maybe the audience will buy more in another style.
He's also looking forward to what "Crazy Boy" will look like with the 'aesthetics of violence'.
"How about you directing this film?"
Hearing this, Wu Yusen was slightly stunned, and then turned his attention back to the script, it seems that he is not too surprised, in fact, when Zi Weixiong showed him the script, he had a premonition, and he did not object. It's just that he still has a "True Colors of Heroes 2" to direct.
"I set the image of the male protagonist to have long hair, so even if the male protagonist is determined now, it will be at least two or three months before filming can start. That's enough time for you to finish True Colors 2. As for the preliminary preparations, I can arrange for someone else to do it. ”
"In that case, according to Mr. Wei's meaning."
……
In the afternoon, Wei Xiong's desk appeared on He Jiajin's photos, all of which were stills, some modern costumes, some ancient costumes, he watched it several times, and the image was indeed very good, but he always felt that there was a lack of taste, perhaps because of his preconceived ideas.
"Knock knock." There was a knock on the door, and then Cui Muqing pushed the door and came in: "Boss, Liu Weiqiang is here." ”
"Let him in."
Soon after Cui Muqing went out, a young man with glasses walked into the office, it was Liu Weiqiang in Wei Xiong's memory, although he was relatively young.
"Hello Mr. Wei."
"Hello, please be seated."
The two shook hands and sat down on the couch.
At this time, Liu Weiqiang was just a little-known person in the film industry, and he only officially became a photographer in the middle of last year. In the year that followed, his biggest job was to serve as one of the cinematographers of "Dragon and Tiger" directed by Lin Lingdong.
So he wondered why Wei Xiong suddenly looked for him, you must know that the two have not crossed paths before, could it be that Wei Xiong has a movie and wants to find him as a photographer? But if that's the case, it doesn't seem necessary for Wei Xiong to see him in person, just let the director find him.
chatted casually, and waited for Cui Muqing to bring coffee in, and then Wei Xiong got to the point: "Mr. Liu must be curious why I invited you to come." ”
"I'm curious."
Wei Xiong smiled slightly: "Some time ago, Mr. Liu just served as the photographer of "Dragon and Tiger", could it be that he has already joined the new art city?" ”
Liu Weiqiang didn't know what Wei Xiong meant, so he told the truth: "Director Lin Lingdong has invited me, and I have this plan." ”
You can't join yet, of course, you can also poach people if you join. Although Liu Weiqiang is still just an ordinary photographer, he will make many movies in the future, such as the "Crazy Boy" series, "Chinese Heroes", "The Battle of the Forbidden City", "Infernal Affairs" and so on.
He also pioneered the use of all-computer digital stunts in Hong Kong to shoot "The Heroes of the World", which won the box office champion of the year, which can be described as applauded and acclaimed.
"Are you interested in joining Merriam? Now Wu Yusen just has a play in his hand, you will be the assistant director for him, and be responsible for the preparatory work. ”
To Wu Yusen as an assistant director?
Liu Weiqiang was suddenly overjoyed, since the release of "The True Color of Heroes", not only Zhou Runfa turned over, but Wu Yusen also established his status as a first-line director in Hong Kong, if he can be his deputy, it is undoubtedly a huge progress for Liu Weiqiang's career.
And you can learn a lot from being around such a great director. How could he refuse such a good opportunity, and immediately agreed.
"Okay, if it's convenient, you can report to Wei's later, and tomorrow the script and some other materials will be handed over to you."
"Thank you, Mr. Wei, I'll report to Wei's now." Liu Weiqiang got up and expressed his heartfelt thanks to Wei Xiong, the harvest of this trip was too big for him, although it can't be said to be pie in the sky, but it's about the same. So much so that he forgot about a very important question.
Why does Wei Xiong value him so much?
Looking at Liu Weiqiang, who walked out of the office excitedly, Wei Xiong suddenly had a very strange sense of achievement, as if he was in control of someone's fate. He is not a god, but many times he exercises powers that only a god can have, and it is quite an amazing experience.
"What do you think, so engrossed."
Wei Xiong immediately came back to his senses, only to find that Cui Muqing was already standing in front of him at some point.
"I wonder if it's time to change offices, it used to be fine, but now it seems that this office is a bit shabby." Wei Xiong put his hand on Cui Muqing's thigh, and then reached up into the skirt, the action was as natural as eating and drinking, apparently often doing so.
Cui Muqing sat on Wei Xiong's lap, put his hands around Wei Xiong's neck, and said with silky eyes: "Are you going to reorganize the company?" ”
"It's still early, wait for the theater line to get on the right track, but now you can make some preparations, you pay attention recently, to see if there are any office buildings for sale, not too big, just enough." In the future, it will also be easier to gather all companies in one building. ”
"yes, I see."
"By the way, what's the matter with you coming in?"
"I was interrupted by you, I almost forgot, Xu Xiaoming from ATV called just now and asked when you were free, he wanted to visit you."
"Visit me? Did you say anything? Wei Xiong is full of question marks, he is no stranger to Qiu Dehe's right-hand man, not only because of his own fame, but also because Li Saifeng, the heroine of "Truant Weilong", who is now filming, is nominally his apprentice.
"It seems to be related to Sister Ya's beauty pageant."
Something to do with Sister Ya? Do you want to ask yourself to be a judge?
Now TVB's Miss Hong Kong and ATV's Miss Asia have been officially launched (the Miss Hong Kong competition has three rounds of interviews before the finals, and 40 to 50 contestants are selected in the first round for the second round of interviews; In the second round of interviews, 21 people were selected for intensive training.
The training period is about 4 to 5 days; Sixteen beauties were selected in the third round to enter the finals. During this period, some charity activities will be arranged for the contestants. The Miss Asia competition process is similar), the final time is scheduled for mid-July as in previous years, and there will be two showdowns at that time.
If he was a judge, he would definitely refuse, in addition to his personal preferences, he also took into account Shao Yifu, after all, he still called people Shibo.
"Tomorrow."
……
After reading last month's company's financial report, Shao Yifu casually put the documents on the desk and turned his head to look at Fang Yihua, who was making him coffee.
"I heard that ATV not only plans to shoot a TV series for the Asian sister champion this year, but also intends to cooperate with a film company to shoot a movie?"
"That's the case, I heard that the TV scripts have been written, and Xu Xiaoming himself is the producer." Fang Yihua put the brewed coffee in front of Shao Yifu: "But ATV hasn't produced any good works in the past year, even if Xu Xiaoming goes into battle in person?" ”
"That's right, but the shadow of a person's famous tree, Xu Xiaoming's fame for many years still has a certain influence, and it will definitely attract many people to sign up for Miss Asia. What's more, there is still a chance to appear in a movie, do you think ATV will cooperate with that film company? ”
"There are only four film companies in Hong Kong that are eligible to cooperate with ATV: Golden Harvest, New Arts City, Debao and Weis. Among them, Wei's is now the most popular, and cooperating with Wei's can bring the greatest effect to Sister Ya's publicity. And Wei Xiong himself is a big attraction. ”
"I also think so, with Qiu De as a person, why don't you do it, since you do it, the momentum will definitely be maximized. In the past two days, ATV should announce the reward of this Asian sister champion, do you think we should also increase the reward of the Hong Kong sister champion? ”
Shao Yifu said while drinking coffee, although Fang Yihua is now responsible for the specific affairs of TVB, he is only responsible for the final check and the formulation of the general direction. But the annual Miss Hong Kong selection is what he cares about the most, especially after ATV also made a Miss Asia.
In his heart, Miss Hong Kong is not just an ordinary beauty pageant, but represents the brand and image of TVB, and also represents the wisdom and beauty of Hong Kong women, at least he thinks so. So every year, he will personally ask about the Miss Hong Kong selection.
"The cash reward of 300,000 is half higher than last year, I think the material reward is enough, and the TV series also left a ...... for the champion"
"I think there should be a premise...... Fang Yihua's words were interrupted by Shao Yifu before he finished speaking: "ATV has it, we must also have it, and I will tell Ah Xiong in person later, he will still give me this face." Also, I took a look at the list of applicants for this year. ”
"The quality is far worse than last year, how can this work. The excellence of the participating beauties is related to the attention and ratings of the competition. ”
Hearing this, Fang Yihua's brows immediately furrowed: "This is indeed a problem, I just got the news that one of the ATV applicants has quite good appearance conditions, both in figure and face, and he is also a graduate of the University of San Francisco." ”
Shao Yifu walked slowly in the office on crutches, looking at his calm expression, obviously thinking about something, and after a while, he said: "Work harder these days, if there are really no excellent people to sign up, just dig up the one you just said." ”
