"I have read Miss Ouyang's resume, and her previous work experience is also very rich, and she is fully qualified for my secretary position, if there is no problem, you can officially go to work tomorrow morning, and Secretary Cui will help you assign it when the time comes. β
When Ouyang Yalan heard this, she was stunned, she didn't expect the 'interview' to be so simple, she had prepared a lot of manuscripts.
"What, are there any questions?" Wei Xiong saw that Ouyang Yalan didn't answer, and thought that the other party had any questions, so he asked.
"No, no, I'll be on time tomorrow morning. Ouyang Yalan hurriedly put away the thoughts in her heart and said with a straight face.
"Well, after you go out, let Qingqing take you to the onboarding procedures first. Wei Xiong always had a faint smile on his face, this smile gave people a very kind and cordial feeling, but after Ouyang Yalan went out, the kindness and kindness in the smile were immediately replaced by obscenity.
I saw him leaning back in the chair, rubbing his chin lightly with his right hand, and muttering to himself, "I didn't expect there to be such similar twins." β
Although many twins are identical twins, they are not exactly the same, especially when they grow up, there will be some differences in their faces, figures, heights, etc., but just now Ouyang Yalan stood in front of him, and he couldn't see any difference with Ouyang Yaqing at all.
After about half an hour, Ouyang Yaqing walked into the office again, sat on Wei Xiong's lap as if she was invited, and said in a coquettish voice:
"Well, my sister didn't disappoint you. β
"It's like you're printed out of a mold, and if I change into the same clothes, I probably won't recognize it, it's really too similar. β
"Of course, when Mommy was still around, even she often mistook us. Speaking of her mother, the smile on Ouyang Yaqing's face immediately disappeared.
"Good, let it pass in the past, I will take good care of your sisters on behalf of your mother in the future, why are you looking at me like thisβ dΗngβ diΗnβ Xiao β said, .β.β₯os_ (); You've been with me for half a year, don't you know who I am? β
"Of course I believe you, but you're too anxious, and you just met my sister, and I started thinking about how to take her for myself. β
Hearing this, Wei Xiongyi didn't feel embarrassed, but said shamelessly: "I'm also for your good, let her be your little friend as soon as possible, and it's convenient for us to do things, otherwise, with her, you have to be sneaky, how inconvenient." β
"I guess it's for your own convenience. Ouyang Yaqing glanced at Wei Xiong, and then said with a straight face: "I can tell you, I have made a lot of determination to let my sister be your secretary this time, you will be our support in the future, and you can't let us down." β
"Fool, you're my little darling, look at it, it's hard when it sees you. β
Ouyang Yaqing touched the thing that was as hard as an iron rod, and her body began to heat up, and after a charming glance at Wei Xiong, she got up and knelt between Wei Xiong's legs, and after a while, she released the sleeping terrifying beast, and her eyes immediately showed the color of obsession.
Ouyang Yaqing didn't know if her feelings for Wei Xiong were love.
But she knew that she was inseparable from Wei Xiong, not only physically, but also psychologically.
There are a lot of things in this world that can be addictive.
For example, poisons - drugs, such as alcohol.
At first, she knew that she only needed Wei Xiong physically, but mentally independent. However, slowly,
She found that her psyche was also changing.
The process was slow, and by the time she found out, she was completely fallen.
As long as she can see Wei Xiong, even if she doesn't do anything, she will feel very happy, as long as she leans on Wei Xiong's arms and smells the familiar smell.
She'll feel reassured.
She was no stranger to this feeling of reassurance, and when her mother was still alive, although the family was poor, her mother's arms were their sisters' harbor.
Now that my mother is gone, the harbor still exists.
It's just that it was replaced by Wei Xiong's arms, so her feelings for Wei Xiong are more of a dependence. Of course, maybe she didn't know it herself.
β¦β¦
"Knock knock knock. With the knock on the door, Cui Muqing opened the door and walked in, just enough to see Ouyang Yaqing's back from her angle.
Listening to the stained voice again, I don't know what Ouyang Yaqing is doing.
"Boss, this is the box office comparison between Golden Harvest's "Plan A 2" and "The Judge of the Dead" after its release, which was just sent by General Secretary Wu. β
Wei Xiong took the text and opened it to look at it.
After the release of "The Judge of the Dead", the box office can be said to be popular across the board, and it won a super high box office of 2.28 million on the first day, continuing to write the myth of Zhou's comedy.
According to this article sent by Wu Siyuan.
On the third day of the release of "The Judge of the Dead", "Plan A 2" was also officially released, with box offices of 2.14 million and 1.25 million respectively.
The next two days were 20,000 and 1.37 million, 2.27 million and 1.21 million.
If this trend continues, it is almost very likely that the box office of "The Judge of the Dead" will exceed 4,000 words, setting another box office record in Hong Kong.
The box office of "Plan A 2" should be between 20 million and 25 million.
However, in the original history, the box office of "Plan A 2" reached more than 31 million, which means that it has now been cut by nearly 10 million.
It turned out to be the strength of "The Judge of the Dead".
After all, there are so many people in Hong Kong, and if a film attracts most of the audience, the audience for the films released at the same time will naturally be less.
"Hehe, it seems to be similar to what I expected, I guess Zou Wenhuai's mood should not be very good now. β
β¦β¦
As Wei Xiong said, Zou Wenhuai's mood has not been very good in the past two days.
"How's it going at the box office yesterday?"
Seeing He Guanchang coming in, Zou Wenhuai immediately asked, you must know that "Plan A 2" is one of the two main films of Golden Harvest this year.
He can be said to have given high hopes.
is not only because "Plan A 2" has a lot of investment, but more importantly, he has seen the finished film and thinks that "Plan A 2" is indeed a good shot.
Unfortunately, the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.
"Plan A 2" was released for two days, and the box office was far lower than expected, if it can't get better, whether it can maintain the box office of "Plan A 1" is probably a question.
"1.21 million. β
He Guanchang sighed: "If it goes on like this, when it comes to the next painting, the box office will be more than 20 million at most, which is just enough to recover the cost." β
Seeing that Zou Wenhuai's face was very ugly, He Guanchang continued:
"You also know the quality of "Plan A 2", and I think most of the reason for this dismal box office is "Judge of the Dead". β
"Hmph, it's too deceitful. β
How could Zou Wenhuai not know that it was because of the strong squeeze of "The Judge of the Dead", but Wei's move was a conspiracy, even if he knew, what could he do?
"What do you think Webster means by doing this?"
He Guanchang pondered for a moment and said, "We and the Wei clan have always been that the well water does not interfere with the river water, and there is no reason for it to be so deliberately aimed at us.
I don't understand, and the two can only put this aside first.
"How's Police Story 2 going?"
He Guanchang diΗn diΗn head: "A qiΔ is very smooth, but in order to ensure safety, the filming progress is not very fast, and it may take more than a month to complete." β
"This drama is going to be released on Christmas, and there is still plenty of time, so there is no hurry. β
After Zou Wenhuai finished speaking, he groaned, and then said, "What do you think of the thing I mentioned to you last time?"
"It's a good time for us to make another foray into Hollywood, but the experience of several previous failures has to make us wary. β
"I think we can work with Webster?"
The successive successes of "Ghost Love" and "50 First Loves" prove that Wei Xiong does have his own set of grasps of the tastes of European and American audiences. β
In addition, with Webster, if the film is released to Paramount, the box office share will be much higher. β
Zou Wenhuai groaned again.
"What you said has a diΗn truth, but we are going to make action movies, and "People and Ghosts Love is Not Over" and "50 First Loves" are both romance films. β
"The two are fundamentally different. β
"Wei Xiong's romance movies are good, it doesn't mean that action movies are also good. β
He Guanchang was also not easy to refute Zou Wenhuai, diΗn diΗn head and said: "Then let's wait a while, now Wei is filming "Top Secret Mission". β
"It's an action movie, and it's going to be released around the world when the time comes, and we'll see how it reacts in the market. β
β¦β¦
"I read the text you sent. β
Wei Xiong got up and walked around the desk and gestured towards the sofa.
"Hehe, your trick is really amazing, but I didn't expect that "Death Judge" would be so strong, even Cheng Long couldn't stop it. β
Wu Siyuan said with a smile, and there seemed to be a faint emotion in his tone.
"After a year of accumulation, Xingzai's nonsensical comedy style has tended to be perfected, and I am not surprised that there will be such a box office. β
To be honest, Wu Siyuan admires Wei Xiong's way of looking at people.
thought that Zhou Xingchi was just the host of a children's program, if he wanted to be famous or not, if he wanted to be outstanding, who would have thought that he could be so awesome.
"I'm not here today to talk to you about work. β
"That's right, at last night's banquet, I chatted with a few old friends and came up with a plan to set up a Hong Kong Film Directors Guild. β
"Hong Kong is now the world's second largest film production base. β
"But there is no professional coordinating body, which is very abnormal, and the establishment of the Directors Guild can play a leading role. β
"Hmm. "Wei Xiong thought it was diΗn diΗn head.
As the world's largest film production base, Hollywood, USA, has various professional leadership and coordination organizations such as the Actors Guild, the Directors Guild, the Gaffers Guild, and the Screenwriters Guild to ensure the healthy, stable and sustainable development of the entire film industry.
If Hong Kong films want to catch up with Hollywood, they must also become professional.
For example, in today's Hong Kong film industry, there are thousands of martial artists of all kinds, and these martial artists serve as stand-ins and other dangerous jobs in movies.
But personal safety is not guaranteed.
If you break your hand or foot, the crew with a conscience will pay you for the medical expenses, and if you don't have a conscience, you will directly settle your salary and let you get out.
If you are unfortunate enough to die, dΗng more is to give diΗn settlement fee.
This is the current situation of the Hong Kong film industry today, there are no rules, or even no law, and in the long run, it will inevitably affect the development of the entire industry.
"Actually, I have thought about this issue you mentioned for a long time, and it is indeed very necessary to set up a professional leadership and coordination body, and I have an idea for you to hear. β
Hearing Wei Xiong say this, Wu Siyuan naturally couldn't ask for it.
The reason why he came to Wei Xiong today is to hope to get Wei Xiong's support, after all, Wei Films is now the largest film company in Hong Kong.
And nearly half of the main actors in Hong Kong are also affiliated with Webster's agents.
If the establishment of the Directors Association can be supported by Wei Xiong, it will definitely be able to get twice the result with half the effort, and it will run much smoother in the future.
"The Hong Kong Film Society was established first. β
Under the association, a director association, an entertainers association, a lighting engineer association, a screenwriters' association and other subdivided associations were established. β
"The Hong Kong Film Society is responsible for coordinating all kinds of affairs and disputes between the branches, and the branches are responsible for managing specific affairs. β
Wu Siyuan's original meaning was to establish a director association first, and then lead to the establishment of other associations.
Wei Xiong, on the other hand, plans to do it in one step, and set up a Hong Kong Film Association above each association to be responsible for the overall situation.
That's a good thing to be able to make the associations come together as a whole.
"I think this is a good idea, once the associations can be established, it will definitely make the entire Hong Kong film industry more standardized, but there are also many difficulties ahead. β
"First of all, there is the funding, and to set up such a large organization, it takes a lot of money. β
The establishment of the Hong Kong Film Association is a major event related to the entire Hong Kong film industry, and Wei Xiong naturally does not need to carry it alone. What's more, if he carries it alone, it will make some people gossip behind his back, saying that he Weixiong wants to sue the Hong Kong Film Association and the like.
This kind of thankless work, he won't do.
After pondering for a moment, he thought of a solution: "In this way, I will personally contribute 2 million as the operating expenses of the initial stage of the association." β
"You can find some people to set up a preparatory committee. β
"Then I wrote a script, and the preparatory committee was responsible for producing the film, and all the proceeds from the film were used to fund the association's preparation. β
"That's a good idea. β
Wu Siyuan's eyes lit up, and people from various professions worked together to make a film to obtain funds for the establishment of the Hong Kong Film Society.
Whether it's moral or practical considerations, it's good.
β¦β¦
With Wei Xiong's support, Wu Siyuan began to run around for the establishment of the Film Association.
In just two days, a preparatory committee was set up with a few old friends, and the 2 million start-up funds and scripts promised by Wei Xiong were also handed over to Wu Siyuan.
The script is called "Double Dragon Club".
This drama was originally filmed to raise funds for the establishment of the Hong Kong Film Directors Guild.
Now it has been taken out by Wei Xiong and used to raise funds for the establishment of the Hong Kong Film Association, which can be regarded as allowing it to play its due role.
After doing this, Wei Xiong didn't ask about the association again.
He has all kinds of things to do every day, in addition to work, and dealing with women.
β¦β¦
Such as informing some of the love
The result will be heartbreaking
It's a pleasure to give it a try
Tell me some of my feelings
You won't appreciate it
Who shares your general thoughts
I don't know where the wind is blowing
The scent of flowers came again
Weaving the fantasy in my heart again
One person has a dream
The love between the two is gradually lost
The three of them have three kinds of love, looking for their own ideals
A change of heart can hurt
β¦β¦
Zhou Huimin sang on stage, and the fans in the audience shook the glow sticks while singing along, and when a few minutes later, the well-known song "One Man Has a Dream" ended, and I don't know who took the lead, and the audience immediately erupted into a deafening cry.
"Hyemin, I love you. β
"Hyemin, I love you. β
ββ¦β¦β
At first, only a part of the people on the left side of the stage shouted, but like a super virus, it quickly spread to the entire stadium.
"Thank you, thank you. β
Seeing the enthusiasm of the fans, Zhou Huimin was also very excited.
It was the first time she had performed on such a big stage, and it was the first time she had faced so many fans when she performed, and the mood was different from anything she had ever felt before.
The shouting lasted nearly a minute before it subsided.
"Thank you, thank you to the many fans who love me and love me, thank you to everyone at the scene, and the next song "At least there is you" is dedicated to you. β
"Also to the most important person in my life. β
I'm afraid it's too late for me to hold you
Until you feel your wrinkles
There are traces of time
Until you are sure that you are real
until they lose their strength
For your sake I do
I can't move and I'm looking at you
Until you feel your hairline
There are traces of snow
Until the vision becomes blurry
until they can't breathe
Let's be inseparable
If the whole world I can give up
At least you are worth cherishing
And here you are
β¦β¦
"It looks like tomorrow the newspapers will be buzzing again. β
Mei Yanfang looked at Zhou Huimin on the stage, but tilted her head towards Wei Xiong, and said with a mocking face.
"Hehe, anyway, I'm a lice and don't itch. Wei Xiong shrugged his shoulders indifferently on the surface, but in fact, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Zhou Huimin was getting bolder and bolder.
These two days in the newspaper about the night of the Academy Awards.
There are a lot of reports about Zhou Huimin and Wang Guxian, two maids and a husband, although there is no definite evidence, and the relevant reports are all speculation by the media.
But the waves caused are not small.
A few defenders even jumped out to make a big fuss to make things even more lively.
He didn't expect that at such a time, Zhou Huimin would dare to say such almost confessional words in a place like a concert, just as Anita Mui said,
Tomorrow will definitely be lively again.
Sitting on the other side of Wei Xiong was Zhang Guorong, who also heard Wei Xiong's words, and couldn't help but say angrily: "I said that you can't restrain diΗn." β
Wei Xiong said righteously: "I didn't kill people and set fires, and I didn't commit adultery, what do you receive?"
Hearing this, Zhang Guorong's eyes rolled, and he didn't come up in one breath.
