Chapter 0240: Squeeze some surplus value out of the master
Du Zhongming was so angry that his hair stood on end, and he roared angrily: "Who do you say are swaggering and cheating, who are pretending to be masters, is my Du Zhongming's reputation in the industry for more than 20 years fake?" I have filmed MVs for the Four Heavenly Kings, Leslie Cheung, Jay Chou and Leehom Wang, why haven't they said that I am swaggering and cheating? You stinky little hairy child, casually questioning my reputation? ”
Meng Xinghui brushed his face lightly, a mocking smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and said lightly: "Why are you so loud, a person of your age should pay attention to self-cultivation, you look at my spitting star, it's not environmentally friendly at all, it's true." Does a loud voice mean you're justified? I will lead the donkey casually, and the sound of the cry must be louder than yours, is it more reasonable than you? ”
Du Zhongming's face was red, his lips trembled, he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, he sat down on the rattan chair in a dejected manner, his right hand covered his chest and inhaled heavily, he was just withdrawn and high, and occasionally said two unpleasant words and was competent, when it came to the ability to debate with others, where could he compare to Meng Daguan, who had swept the Quartet in the debate of Zhonghai University, and he collapsed at the slightest contact, leaving only a big panting.
Meng Xinghui sneered: "You said that you have filmed the MV for the Four Heavenly Kings, the MV for Leslie Cheung, and the MV for Jay Chou and Wang Leehom, but I don't know if what you said is true or false, even if what you say is true, what can it represent?" Just because your past experience is brilliant enough, so you lie on the credit book and eat the old book? I don't know how many percent of your current artistic skills are left, but I think that these illustrious experiences have not made your character also prominent, I admire those predecessors in the circle who are both virtuous and artistic, the richer their experience, the more prominent their reputation, the more they know how to cultivate obscurity, the more they know how to respect others, but there are also some people on the contrary, the greater the fame, the greater the temper, the bigger the shelf, and in the end they forget their original intention when they entered this circle, and they also stop the pursuit of art. Everywhere I go, I feel that others are inferior to me, people like this are no different from a piece of shit in my eyes, after losing their character, they no longer have the sense of smell of art, what is the difference between them and waste? What are you staring at? I'm talking about you! If you're not convinced, you can prove it and show me. ”
Du Zhongming was scolded by Meng Xinghui and scolded with blood, but he couldn't even say a word of rebuttal, blowing his beard and staring at him had nothing to do, and finally had to shift his target and yelled at Huang Yiyun: "Yiyun, you invited me from Hong Kong to let me listen to this impolite guy's insults?" In vain I treat you as a friend, that's how you treat me, you let me down so much. ”
Huang Yiyun blushed and didn't speak, and said in her heart, you guy is too immoral, he has no eyesight at all, who is not good to provoke, you have to provoke this little devil, I remind you that he is our boss and he doesn't even have a little vigilance surname, if it is the kind of person who is easy to bully, can he sit in this position? It's really that the older you get, the more brainless you become, and you live to be a dog.
She really wanted to go up and ease up, but she didn't know what Meng Xinghui meant, if Meng Xinghui decided not to cooperate with Du Zhongming, then her mixing would make it difficult for Mr. Meng, so she had to pretend not to hear Du Zhongming's request for help, and stood aside with a cold face and kept silent.
The little assistant was also clever, seeing that no one was paying attention to Du Zhongming, and it was not good to continue to stiffen, so he hurriedly said: "Boss, I see that you are also tired, the wind is strong by the river, go back to the hotel to rest and add some clothes." ”
Seeing that someone was finally willing to come out to relieve him, Du Zhongming hurriedly borrowed the donkey from the slope, coughed, and said, "Well, go back to the hotel to rest and rest, the wind here is really strong." ”
Then he stood up with a straight face, and walked down, and the little assistant followed, and did not forget to turn around and give Meng Xinghui a thumbs up, with a thief's smile.
Meng Xinghui smiled and nodded at her, thinking that this little assistant was still very good.
In fact, Du Zhongming is just putting on a show, what to say if he doesn't do it, that is to say, he is just talking angry, you must know that the contract of their cooperation has been signed, if he does not perform the contract, Star Entertainment can go to the court to sue him for breach of contract, the amount of compensation alone is enough for him to drink a pot, and in this line of work, if you are always so repetitive, your reputation will be ruined, and in the long run, no one will be willing to cooperate with you, and you will never have your own way back, Du Zhongming is still unwilling to do it.
Although he is also a leader in the industry, but in a place like Huaxia, where there are many talents, the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the front waves die on the beach. Someone will soon take your place, and he's only in his early forties now, and he doesn't want to retire early.
Meng Xinghui wasn't ready to let him go, just kidding, the contract has been signed, you say you don't do it, what do you do with Star Entertainment? Even if you can win a compensation in a lawsuit, for a person like Meng Xinghui, who is proud in his bones, it is still equivalent to losing.
He still trusts Huang Yiyun very much, she said that Du Zhongming is talented, and she can't be wrong, but this person is probably spoiled by others, and he can't figure out how many catties and taels he has, Meng Xinghui just wants to suppress his arrogance, if he doesn't suppress his arrogance, by his surname, maybe there will be many demon moths in the future filming process, today I am not satisfied here, tomorrow I am not satisfied there, and when you meet his various requirements like the third grandson, he can still find other faults for you, The easiest job in the world is to find faults, and who can do it perfectly?
Seeing the backs of Du Zhongming and his assistant gradually disappearing at the end of the steps, Meng Xinghui turned around and asked Huang Yiyun: "Mr. Huang, you have already given him the work and script before, right?" ”
Huang Yiyun nodded and said, "Yes, I already sent someone to him yesterday." ”
Meng Xinghui smiled: "That's good, after being scolded by me, he will probably be a little sober, and most of the things you give him will be seen after he goes back, according to what you told me, this person is still very pursuing art, if he reads my script, listens to our music, and finally chooses to leave, then this person is no longer the Du Zhongming in your impression, if that's the case, let's not use him, if he is still the same Du Zhongming, I bet that he will take the initiative to ask us to continue to cooperate with him." As long as you love art, you won't refuse good works, will you? ”
Huang Yiyun's eyes lit up, and she said happily: "Mr. Meng, don't you really want to drive him away?" ”
Meng Xinghui smiled: "Why should I drive him away? As long as it is a real talent, we Star Entertainment will never refuse, but this person needs to be suppressed, if we follow him now, and he will pick and choose the situation in the future, we will not have the capital to talk to him. ”
Huang Yiyun said with a smile: "Mr. Meng, I found that you don't look like a student in your early twenties at all, you are simply an old fox who has been crawling in the world for decades." ”
Meng Xinghui pointed at her with a smile and said, "Mr. Huang, are you praising me or hurting me?" ”
Huang Yiyun hurriedly said: "Of course it's to praise you, how dare I hurt you." ”
Meng Xinghui smiled: "Then what don't you dare, I won't eat people." After a pause, he continued: "However, if he comes back to beg me, it will not be so easy to pass, and I will have to squeeze some benefits out of him." ”
Huang Yiyun blinked and asked, "Mr. Meng, how are you going to squeeze him?" ”
Meng Xinghui groaned for a while, took out his mobile phone and hung up the phone to Yin Houde, and after ringing a few times, it was connected: "Hey, Hui Zai, what are you looking for me?" If you have something to say, you can fart quickly, brother, I'm busy, waiting to shoot the next shot. ”
Since becoming another director of the crew, Yin Houde seems to have come back to life, all the obscenity and laziness accumulated over the years have disappeared, and the talented director student in college is back, he works hard like a cow every day, and his requirements for details are even harsher than Zhao Baogang, so that the current actors would rather shoot with Zhao Baogang than with him, but when they see the final shooting effect, they all feel that all the hard work is worth it, and they respect Yin Houde more and more.
With his diligence, excellence in details, and artistic talent in his bones, he conquered Zhao Baogang, Meng Xinghui, and the members of the whole crew, and now everyone knows that in the crew of "Police Flower and Future Thief", there are three people who speak well, one is Mr. Meng, one is Director Zhao, and the other is Director Yin, of course, Mr. Meng is an actor in the crew, and he also abides by his duties and never dictates the director's filming work. It's only when there is a deviation in the understanding of the acting itself that I will discuss it with the director, and in the end, who has the reason to listen to whom.
Zhao Baogang is still very grateful for Meng Xinghui's original proposal, at least Yin Houde is indeed a talent, with him, his work is a lot easier, and he also has a nominal apprentice, with his hunch, Yin Houde's future achievements are absolutely limitless, maybe he can become an international director like Zhang Yimou and Ang Lee, and when he mentions it later, this person used to be his apprentice, then he also has a light on his face.
Moreover, the most important point is that through Yin Houde's incident, he has maintained a good relationship with Star Entertainment, which is his greatest wealth Zhao Baogang.
"Brother De, you told me before that you have a few classmates who are shooting advertisements and MVs for people here in Shenhai, can you still contact them?" Meng Xinghui asked on the phone.
"Yes, don't you say that I'm not embarrassed to mention it to you, these guys know that I am in Star Entertainment, and have told me several times, let me introduce you, and want to join us, but brother, I'm worried that you will be difficult to do, Star Entertainment is getting bigger and bigger, the most taboo in being a company is nepotism, brother, I don't want to cause you trouble, so I didn't agree." Yin Houde's voice on the phone is quite emotional, in fact, his concerns are right, now Meng Xinghui's stall is bigger, it is not a small stall in a commissary, you can come over to help if you say a word, as Meng Xinghui's brother, if he opens his mouth, Meng Xinghui is embarrassed not to do it for him, but in the long run, won't it break the company's rules?
"P's cronyism, you don't know that our company lacks a director, there are some dramas to be filmed in the future, you pick one of them with relatively good character and talent, call me over, now, tell them that they have a good opportunity, Hong Kong's art master Du Zhongming is here with me, let them come over to learn from this old guy, just now Lao Du was still stabbing with me, I don't pull some good goods from him, where is worthy of him, you say yes?" Meng Xinghui laughed a few times on the phone.
Yin Houde's voice immediately raised several times, and he shouted: "I'm kao, Mr. Huang actually invited Du Zhongming?" It's really bullish, he deserves to be the vice president of Warner's Greater China, his face is really big enough, it is said that Lao Du has a very strange temper, if it weren't for the heavyweight in the Chinese music scene, he wouldn't pay attention to you, Mr. Huang can actually invite him, and his face is really bigger than the Pacific Ocean. ”
Meng Xinghui said with a smile: "It's coming, but I'm not very happy in my heart, I don't like to look at this person, what's wrong with the fame, the fame doesn't look down on us, don't charge money to sign the contract, I received the money and signed the contract, and I was still there to play the score, so I was scolded by me, and I went back to the hotel rest area angrily." I'm sure that as long as he listens to our music and reads the script I wrote, he will definitely be reluctant to leave, and if he is willing to go, then he will not be a master of life who regards art as his life, and this old boy will definitely come to beg me, of course I will not be so good at talking, and if I don't help me bring out a few people, how can I happily agree to him. ”
Yin Houde smiled and said: "This old guy has always been famous in the circle for his bad temper and love to pose, but the MV he shot is really good, according to the popular saying now, it is a super good micro-movie." ”
Meng Xinghui said: "You're right, it's a micro-movie, I asked a few of your classmates to come and learn from him, and it will definitely come in handy in the future, whether it is for them to shoot commercials, or to shoot MVs, or to make micro-movies in the future, or even movies, they can be used." Didn't someone say that if you want to be a multimillionaire, you have to be with a billionaire all the time, and if you want to be a master, you have to be with a master. ”
Yin Houde smiled and said: "You kid, you are simply a little fox, Master Du would definitely not have imagined that this time he capsized in a junior and was played to death by you." ”
Meng Xinghui smiled: "If he doesn't come out of the demon moth, why should I play with him...... Sensei is talking nonsense to me, hurry up and help me call someone, tell them that it is best to report today, 100,000 urgent, there will be no such shop in this village. ”
Yin Houde said with a smile: "These boys have a really good life, I'm still worried about how to reject them, it's good now, everyone can fight side by side in the future, Hui Zai, I love you." ”
Meng Xinghui scolded with a smile: "Brother De, don't be vain, I like women, don't worry about it." It's hanging. ”
After hanging up the line, Yin Houde happily called his classmates one by one.
