――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Fan Wei's execution ability is still good, and it only took two days to rent an office, which is located in a 20-storey office building in Wan Chai, with a small area, less than 200 square meters. After that, he registered a company, renovated and arranged the office, and recruited employees, so busy that he barely touched the ground. But the results were also remarkable, and it only took a week to get everything ready.
As the boss, Wei Xiong also nodded secretly in his heart after inspecting the office and interviewing all the employees, although it is best to find an insider management or partner to open a film company, but he is a complete layman, and the film insider Zhou Yanfa who knows him is barely half of it, and he can only find a capable person to manage the company first. Of course, this person has to be pleasing to his eye.
Fan Wei was the one who barely met his conditions after interviewing several people. As for whether it will work or not, you will not know until you have used it.
"Well, it's all good, even if we open in this way, we will be free to celebrate or something, and everyone will officially start work tomorrow. The details of co-producing a movie with Shaw Brothers have basically been negotiated, and you can finalize the contract as soon as possible and then start preparing for filming. ”
Fan Wei sat opposite Wei Xiong, originally he didn't feel nervous, maybe because of the relationship between the two of them who had been in contact more frequently in the past week, but when Wei Xiong got down to business, he began to be inexplicably nervous, as if he doubted whether he could complete the task.
However, he did not show such nervousness, but secretly took a deep breath: "Okay, I will sign the contract as soon as possible." ”
In this recruitment, the company recruited a total of 8 people, three of whom had previously spent time in other film companies, so he was not a blind eye. And for his first job, a job with such a high starting point, he has decided to face all the difficulties......
After leaving the company, Wei Xiong came to the café where he interviewed Fan Wei last time, he made an appointment to meet here at four o'clock, and it was not yet the appointed time, so he looked at the magazine, and when he was fascinated, a voice sounded in his ears: "Let you wait." ”
Wei Xiong raised his head, who else could it be if it wasn't Zhou Yanfa: "I often come to this café, and I just happened to have nothing to do today, so I came early." ”
"The environment is really peaceful. Zhou Yunfa looked around, then ordered a cup of coffee from the waiter who came with him, and then looked at Wei Xiong: "It's only been more than two months since the advertisement for Tieda Timeline was filmed, and I really didn't expect you to turn into a popular singer." ”
"To be honest, I just thought that the advertisement you planned was very good, but I didn't expect you to be better at music. ”
The relationship between the two is actually not so close, and it stands to reason that they should be polite, but Zhou Yanfa's tone was a little exaggerated as soon as he opened his mouth, which showed that he was really surprised in his heart. Wei Xiong naturally did not deliberately show the appearance of rejecting people thousands of miles away, and said with a smile:
"Don't praise me anymore, if the reporter hears it, he will think I'm bragging, and I've always been very low-key. ”
Zhou Yunfa was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Wei Xiong was joking, and couldn't help laughing: "The albums are crazy to buy, it's useless if you just want to be low-key." I can guarantee that you are definitely one of the most popular people in the current Hong Kong entertainment industry, so popular that even I am a little jealous. ”
At this time, the waiter came over with coffee, both of them stopped talking, and when the waiter walked away, Wei Xiong said: "Listen to your tone seems to be ...... lately"
"Alas, it's hitting the streets again. Zhou Yan shrugged his shoulders self-deprecatingly: "I've been very idle lately, and no film company dares to ask me to make a movie." ”
With the starring movies hitting the streets one after another, Zhou Runfa can be regarded as having the title of 'poison hair', not to mention that even the audience no longer buys it, and the film company naturally does not dare to find Zhou Runfa to make movies. It can be said that now is definitely the lowest ebb since Zhou Yanfa's debut.
"Don't talk about my, why do you have time to have coffee with me today, the newspaper says you're recording your second album, you should be very busy. ”
Wei Xiong took a sip of coffee: "No matter how busy you are, you must know how to combine work and rest, I was a little tired from recording songs yesterday, so I gave myself a day off today." ”
"Is that really the case?" Zhou Yunfa didn't believe it was so simple.
"Hehe, it's natural that the holiday is true, but you have to find something to do for yourself on the holiday, otherwise it's not too boring? I came to you today mainly because I want to talk to you about something, I think you should be interested, I remember the last time I told you that I wrote two scripts?"
"Of course I remember, you also said that it was sent to Golden Harvest and Xinyicheng, but there has been no reply. ”
"I'm going to invest it myself. ”
"You mean that you plan to invest in these two movies yourself?" Zhou Yunfa thought that he had heard it wrong, Wei Xiong's situation in the music industry is so good now, he doesn't work hard to go further, but plans to invest in making movies?
"That's right. ”
"I think you ......" Even if the two are not friends, they have known each other for a while, so Zhou Yunfa wanted to persuade him, but his words were interrupted as soon as he spoke.
"I know what you want to say, you listen to me, I'm not whimsical, the first film will be with Shaw Brothers, Shaw Brothers has already read the script, the initial cooperation plan is that I will be responsible for all the funds, and Shaw Brothers will cooperate with the filming work in an all-round way, as well as be responsible for distribution affairs. ”
"This is the script, you can take a look, and if you want, I would like to invite you to play the male lead in the film. ”
Now that Wei Xiong has decided, Zhou Yanfa didn't persuade him again, so as not to make a shallow statement, but he didn't go to get the script on the table, but looked at Wei Xiong: "I'm a box office poison now, even I'm afraid of myself, are you sure you want to invite me to play the male lead in your first movie?"
"I always think that the reason why you have made so many bad movies is not that your image is not good, nor that your acting skills are not good, but that the script itself is bad, and I have confidence in my script. ”
Zhou Yanfa lowered his head and was silent for a moment, and finally smiled: "Since you have so much confidence in me, you don't need to read the script, I will take this play." ”
Wei Xiong also smiled: "Don't you ask about the salary?"
"You just watch it, anyway, I don't have any filming now. ”
"Then at your current market price. By the way, do you know how to contact Wu Yusen?"
